Speaker 1: three game losing streak, and Jeff Saturday became the first

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Colts interim head coach to win US first game since

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Ron Meyer in nineteen eighty six. Saturday's also just the

00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: second Colts head coach in the past forty five years

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: to win his debut, joining Jim Calledwell. The Colts turned

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: the offense back over to Matt Ryan, who started at

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: quarterback after missing the last two games with a shoulder injury,

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: and he completed twenty one of twenty eight passes, had

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and ripped off a career long thirty nine

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: yard run in the fourth quarter to set up the

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown for the Colts. For Ryan, Sunday was

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: his fifth fourth quarter comeback and his fourth game winning

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: drive of the season. Calling plays for the first time

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: in his career, Assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frasier dug into

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the Colts playbook and helped guide the offense to a

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: balance total two twenty two through the air and two

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: o seven on the ground. The Colts scored over twenty

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: points for just the second time this season, and led

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the first quarter, the first half,

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: third quarter, and won the game for the first time

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: this season. After an opening series three and out. The

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Colts scored on three of their next four drives and

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: led by his season high ten points in the first half.

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday also showed some good in game management. He

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: challenged a Raider catch in the first half and won,

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and he also managed the clock brilliantly in the first

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: half as the Colts called timeouts when Las Vegas was

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: driving for a touchdown, saving enough time in one final

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: time out to stop the clock for Chase McLoughlin's forty

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: eight yard field goal at the end of the half.

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: The offensive line protected very well all game long. They

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: allowed only one sack and one hit on twenty eight

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: pass attempts, and they opened up big holes for Jonathan Taylor,

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: who rushed for one hundred and forty seven yards and

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: ripped off the longest rush this season for the Colts,

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: a sixty six yards camper to the end zone. On Sunday,

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Taylor passed Marshall Falk for the fourth most one hundred

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: yard rushing games in team history, and he also passed

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Falk and tied Lenny Moore for the second most total

52
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: touchdowns by a Colts player in their first three seasons.

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: How about the day for Paris. Campbell led the team

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: with seven catches for a single game career highs seventy

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: six yards and the game winning touchdown from thirty six

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: yards away. The Colts defense continue to be consistent, and

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: they made game winning plays at the end. With fifty

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: six seconds to play and trailing twenty five to twenty,

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders faced a third and seven inside the Colts

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: red zone and Bobby Okaka remove the ball out of

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the hands of tight end Foster Morrow in the end zone.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: And then on the fourth down, Derek Carr challenged Stefan

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Gilmore looking for Davante Adams and the left side of

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: the end zone, and Gilmore made the play broke up

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: the pass that sealed the win for the Colts. The

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: Colts are now four five and one on the season,

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: still on the outside looking in on the playoffs, and

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: up next are the Philadelphia Eagles at Lucas Oil Stadium

69
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,440

00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040

Speaker 1: the world like it. And so it was, uh, it

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: was really tremendous. What was going through your mind as

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: you took the field, as you're running to take the field,

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: running out of the tunnel as a coach for the

98
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: first time, what was going through your mind in that moment?

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Let's go. I could couldn't get here fast enough. I

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: was like, man, I was. I was, Yeah, I was

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: so tired of meetings and press conferences and everything else.

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: I tell everybody in the world goes quiet when I

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: hit that grass, and it's my favorite time. And so

104
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: when we walked down on that field, you know, it

105
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: was funny. Last night in the press converent out of

106
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the game, somebody asked me, you know, kind of about

107
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: my day, and I talked about just my typical you know.

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: I woke up, my wife and I taught, we prayed,

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: and I watched church on TV or you know, on

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: my phone. And then I go down and they were like,

111
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: were you really nervous? And I was very frowzy. I

112
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: was really at peace. I felt like we had an

113
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: excellent plan. I felt like all the coaches were extremely prepared.

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I felt like the players were prepared as they could be,

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: and now you got to go out and execute, and

116
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: some days it works out, some days it doesn't. But

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: there was nothing, There was no area of preparation that

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: I felt like we had missed. And I think that

119
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: gave me a ton of confidence in so much appreciation

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: for our coaching staff, all three phases, Bubba Gus his staff,

121
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: and and and obviously parks uh taking over at um

122
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, play calling. I mean it just it. I

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: could not have felt more confident in the plan in place,

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: and just so grateful they exu the players execute the

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: way they did. How did the game go for you

126
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: in terms of operation and mechanics and voices in the

127
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: headset looking at the replays the challenge flags? How did

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that go for you there? Yeah? Actually really good. There

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: was a couple of errors that I think I made

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: one early um uh alec uh you know, we it

131
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: was a I think it was a first third down

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: and he catches it, but the ball kind of comes

133
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: out right there, and uh, I you know, I wasn't

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: as used to the headset, you know, so I thought

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: it was I'm yelling, you know, to to attack, you know,

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: and trying to get to the line of scrimmage and

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: let's get a playoff and we're screaming that, but I

138
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: couldn't get it communicated and uh so so you know

139
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: felt like I, you know, I kind of missed on

140
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: that when and we talked about that process actually this morning. UM.

141
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: And it was one of those things that even if

142
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I did not sure it would have changed anything, but

143
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: just you know, how could I improve from from those things?

144
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: I felt like, um, we did a really good job

145
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: executing timeouts, the challenge, you know, we had one challenge

146
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: there early. George does a great job up top. In

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: my ear, I feel very confident he's gonna give me

148
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the right information. And John up there as well. Those

149
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: guys do a great job from an analytical perspective of hey,

150
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: here's where we are. Um. And then the execution the

151
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: end of the the first half I thought was phenomenal. You know,

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: we get down to get to get the field goal,

153
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: trying to go two for one, right, make a field goal,

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: and then and come back out and score on the

155
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: opening draft of the second half. But JT going down

156
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: with with uh, you know, three seconds to bust a

157
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: time out to get the field goal. Um, those were

158
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: all I thought, really well done. And so again, you know,

159
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: there's always areas of improvement that we can make. But

160
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: felt like for the for the first run out, not

161
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: sure it could have been better. Ye Jeff Saturdays with

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: us tonight on Colts Roundtable Live. You brought him up

163
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Parks Frasier. How did it go for him? Fantastic? Man?

164
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean listen, you know, um, again and falling under

165
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the category of you know, this is this is was

166
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: his first time as well. I thought all of the

167
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: staff had him as prepared as he could possibly be.

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was. He was very um, he was

169
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: very processed, driven, He understood what he was looking for.

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: Why all the communication from the headsets of hey, who's

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: in the game, what formation? Where are we yet? What

172
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: are they doing to it? All that information he was

173
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: getting and downloading in a perfect time, uh, in between

174
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: series and then he has his plays and um, guys

175
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: gave great confirmation over the headsets of what they liked,

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: what they didn't like. And from you know, from a

177
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: play calling perspective, you want to be armed with all

178
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the information you can have because ultimately you're gonna make

179
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the call. And we all told Parks that that man,

180
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: we believe in your bro We we we're gonna We're

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna ride where you were not gonna second guess that

182
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: there's nothing easy about that job. And we all understood

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: and um, but I felt like again that just the

184
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: all the pieces and parts around it really helped him excel.

185
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: And then he he shined. Man, he was I thought

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: he did a great job and I was really so

187
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: happy for him because, um, you know, young and and

188
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: all the you know again, I'm gonna bring all kinds

189
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: of criticism anyway, but you know, to have a guy

190
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: like him step up. Yeah, people were taking shots, I'm

191
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: sure all the way around. But man, good good for

192
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: him that he had a great outing. Yeah, no doubt

193
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: about that. That's Jeff Saturday, interim head coach for the

194
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, here on Colts Roundtable Live. Got time for

195
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: a few fan questions. Perfect Rusco. If you want to

196
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: interact with Jeff tonight and every Monday night here on

197
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: Colts Roundtable Live, hit us up on Twitter hashtag Colts Roundtable.

198
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: Michael's done that, coach. He's asking, why did you make

199
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: the decision to go back to Matt Ryan? Will that

200
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: be a permanent move the rest of the season at quarterback? Well? We, uh,

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: you know I had when when I came in on Monday,

202
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, he was on the injury report and I

203
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: didn't know how injured he was with his shoulder. I

204
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: knew I asked him Tuesday. I believe if he had thrown,

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: he hadn't thrown, and so I asked him, you know what,

206
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: what you know when you was gonna do it, and

207
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: he told me he was gonna do it soon. And

208
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: then so Sam takes all the all the reps on Wednesday,

209
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: and um, so I had watched Sam and then Matt

210
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: told me he felt good, and uh, I wanted to

211
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: see him practice. So, you know, from a volume throwing perspective,

212
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: I wanted him to take the lions share the reps.

213
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: And I can't remember specifically, but I know, I know

214
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: he took the majority whatever that whatever that number is,

215
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, but it was a lot. And

216
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: I told him to take it and go with it.

217
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: And man, he had a he had a really good

218
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: day and it was a strong day. And uh, Friday

219
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: came back and backed it up. I didn't make any change.

220
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: I wanted him to do it again to see how

221
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: he would respond. I knew Friday, I thought that was

222
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: our best practice. Coming off the field. UM, I felt like, man,

223
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: we we we got a shot here, right, We've we've

224
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: installed two days. This day was really crisp flying around. Um.

225
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: And so you know, from from that perspective, I thought

226
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: he had a heck of a day and I and

227
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Sam was a pro about it. I just I feel

228
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: like Matt gives us the best chance to win right now.

229
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: And he you know, he's like, Coach, I'm all in

230
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, I'm so grateful for him.

231
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: And so that's how it was made again Jeff Saturday

232
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: with us here on Colts Roundtable Live. Let's go to

233
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: John's question. Coach. He's asking, and I think you talked

234
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: about this a little bit just in passing there a

235
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: few moments ago. How did you handle the critics of

236
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: the Colts and their decision to hire you through no

237
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: fault of your own taking this job. Yeah, you know,

238
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of those things, man, from my

239
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: faith perspective, you know, the Lord's my defender, right, I

240
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: don't have to go out and defend anything. I know

241
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: why I made the decision I made, right. I know

242
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: how much I care about this organization, about this community

243
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: that includes players, coach, front office, equipment, training room, media

244
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: like you you name it right. My adulthood was forged

245
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: here and my wife and I all over three of

246
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: our children were born here like this place matters to me, man,

247
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: and I and so I have no regrets about the

248
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: decision I made. I made it after a prayer and

249
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: talk to my wife, and again felt like, this is

250
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. I've never heard of a player having

251
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be a head coach. I had seen

252
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: it happen in other leagues, you know, whether baseball, basketball.

253
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: I had not seen that happen from a football perspective.

254
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna miss on it. I wasn't going to

255
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: bypass it. And and so I feel very convicted that

256
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: that I can help this this organization turn it around

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: this season. And I'm comfortable with whatever happens. I really

258
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: am in a really good place, and my wife and

259
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: my family are. And as far as the critics, man,

260
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: God bless them, bro. Like whatever they think, that they're

261
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: right to their opinion. I'm sure they have strong conviction

262
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, I'm not calling for advice, right,

263
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: so it doesn't it doesn't really affect what I'm gonna do.

264
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: And again I don't say that, like, but I'm just

265
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: being honest, Like that's who I am as as a person,

266
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. And that doesn't change how much

267
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: I like those people if we're friends. Because I haven't

268
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: watched it or paid attention to it, But you know

269
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: whoever it is, that will not affect how I look

270
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: upon them. All right. Lastly, coach, this is from Matt

271
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: what you like about our defense and what keeps allowing

272
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: it to keep teams right at or under twenty points

273
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: on the season? Man, how good did they play? Bro?

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: And it finished the game? Two? PB used, Bobby makes

275
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: a freaking I mean to knock that ball that was

276
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: a that was a dime by car you know what

277
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, it's it's in his hands. And

278
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: for him to be able to swat that thing. What

279
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: a heads up play. And then Gilly on the last

280
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: play one on one, man, this is why you bring

281
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: him in. And he's got the best, you know, the

282
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: best receiver in the game right now, or if he's not,

283
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: he's one of them. That dude can go. He got

284
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: juice everywhere. And to make that play at the end

285
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: to break that ball up. I can't tell you how

286
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: proud I am of them, and that Gus has the

287
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: guts to call the plays and he asked me and

288
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: we talk about those things, man, and man I was

289
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: I was so fired up because you know, your first

290
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: game again and it sounds silly and I don't want

291
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: people to think like I want to win all the

292
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: games by big points, right, so hear me in the

293
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: frame of reference. But that flow of that game was awesome.

294
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: Back and forth, nobody back and down, big plays being

295
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: made by big time players. Um and I thought our

296
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: defense just kept fighting and they just they would give begrudgingly.

297
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: And again I had so much confidence watching it play out,

298
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: and those guys made the play man tip of the

299
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: cap again. I told them when I got here, that's

300
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: the cal bell of our team. That defense man. They're gonna,

301
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna, they're gonna help. They are while we're gonna

302
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: be able to win games if they can continue to

303
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: do that. Um And I was just so grateful for them,

304
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. That's interim head coach Jeff Saturday

305
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: with us on Colt's Roundtable Live tonight. Coach, is it

306
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: weird to hear coach Saturday? Yet? Hey? Have you gotten

307
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: used to that? I'm used to it. I've used to

308
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: from back in the day. My son's that I'm used to.

309
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: All though they worries that they used to be coach sad,

310
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: That's what I always gets, all right, No no worries

311
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: on any of those things we can bury it up

312
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. Jeff, thanks so much for the time

338
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the former Colts, are along on the show tonight. I'm

339
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and Joe. Before we get into the tale

340
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: of the tape here, I understand that congratulations are in order,

341
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Coach writes, bringing home the hardware a couple of weekends ago.

342
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: I understand, well, Matt, I appreciate that we had two

343
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: third grade football teams from our lady mountcarl With that

344
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: both won city and respective divisions. So, as you know,

345
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: and Coach Venturi knows, it's about the players. We had

346
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: good players that got it done. But it was fun.

347
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: The championships were down at they were down at Ron Colly.

348
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: You're alma mater, so some good vibes we had down there,

349
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: and we still let you Northsiders win. Well, we were

350
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: playing against a couple other North Side teams. So well, well,

351
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: yeah we didn't make it then, I guess we got

352
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: eliminated earlier you did. But your ReBs are still alive

353
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs here going to semi state, so that's good.

354
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: As are my HSC Royals. Yes, they are absolutely semi

355
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: state coming up this weekend. Now, Joe, is Rick a

356
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: consultant on your team? Are you sending game film ricks

357
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: way so we can watch on the huddle there. I

358
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: haven't brought coaching yet purposely because this is seven on seven,

359
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: so it's tackle at seven and seven. But coach, you know,

360
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, when we get to eleven

361
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: on eleven, I'm gonna be dialing in. We're gonna need

362
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: your help on the defensive end of the football. We'll

363
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: give you. We'll give you a double sinc clinic by

364
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: the individual. All right, tail of the tape, time congratulations

365
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: are in order. For the Colts they snap a three

366
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: game losing streak. They beat the Raiders on Sunday twenty

367
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: five to twenty. We always start here in segment two

368
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: your big takeaways, Joe writes first for you your tale

369
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: of the tape. How to look for Jeff Saturday and

370
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: the operation for the Colts. They are getting a win

371
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: for him and his first time out as the interim

372
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: coach of the Colts. Man that was fun. Super happy

373
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: for Jeff, happy for the players, really happy for all

374
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: the other coaches in that bilding that had to go

375
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: through kind of the craziness a last week. But when

376
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: I looked at the tape this morning, I really saw

377
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: four things that stood out to me. The first one

378
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: was we started fast. We were ahead ten to nothing

379
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean the last time we had

380
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: a lead like that, you know, Rudolph the Red Nose

381
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: Reindeer was playing because it was Christmas Day. And I

382
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: just think the fact that we had that lead, we

383
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: were able to stay ahead of the chains, stay on

384
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: track offensively, do what we wanted to do, that was

385
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: really good. Number Two, Parks Frasier, big shout out to

386
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: him calling the plays XS and Oise. I know, coach,

387
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: you talked about it last week. Anybody can come up

388
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: with a game plan, but calling plays when that play

389
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: clock's winding down on Sunday is a tall task, and

390
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: I thought Parks, for the most part, did a really

391
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: night job. Number Three, I thought we had an energy,

392
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: We had a spirit, We had a juice about us

393
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: that I really hadn't seen since the Kansas City game.

394
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of that probably went into

395
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: why mister Hussey made the move to let Frank go

396
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: and hire Jeff, But I just really liked the juice,

397
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: the energy that everybody was playing with across the and

398
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: then number four, physicality. We were the most physical team.

399
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: We were the most physical team at the point of

400
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: the attack, and our offensive line played the most physical

401
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: they had played all year. And to me, all of

402
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: those markings they kind of have Jeff Saturday's footprints all

403
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: over that. Because again, teams are going to take on

404
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: the personality their coach, and I thought he did a

405
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: nice job coaching them up. The assistants did a great

406
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: job getting those guys ready. But those were kind of

407
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: my four big takeaways from yesterday afternoon. Yeah, basically, you know,

408
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I have four takeaways, and you know, to me, you know,

409
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: to me, it was a terrific day for Colts fans,

410
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: for the cult franchise. They took so much grief, unnecessary

411
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: grief during the week last year, last week, I'm just

412
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: amazed by it, to be honest with you, the noise

413
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: that was being made ridiculously, But I think it starts

414
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: right at the very top. I mean Jim Mirsay, who

415
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I've known for four decades. I mean, he owned this

416
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: team last week. I mean he owned it. He you know,

417
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: and you know, people will mistake sometimes his style. He

418
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: speaks in parables, and they will always underrate a guy

419
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: that really knows football and has absolute great football instincts

420
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and was not afraid to go totally against the grain

421
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: on this and it paid off. So Jim owned it.

422
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: I think number two all these things could be one

423
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: is Jeff let It. There's no question about that. This

424
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: team was energized. He brought a juice, you know. I

425
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: call it the Jumper Cable effect. There's no question about it.

426
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: He lit the spark. But he also and I mentioned

427
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: this last week in a coach has to show his

428
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: team how they're going to get better, not just personality.

429
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: Personalities important. But I think two great decisions. Obviously, the

430
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: Parks Frasier decision, regardless of how he got it, was decisive.

431
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Early in the week it said to the team, we're

432
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: going to do things a little different. And then I

433
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: think the quarterback change was huge. I think the quarterback

434
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: change I think was big with those veteran players. I don't.

435
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I think the veterans wanted him to be the quarterback.

436
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: But that that's another terrific decision. So you know, you

437
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: lead with your personality, but you also make total, you know,

438
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: decisions before the game that mattered. And then you really

439
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm with Joe, you really have to take your hat off.

440
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: And I've done this for so many years. I respect

441
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: this more than anything. Is part Frasier. He came in

442
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 1: and he and he directed it. You know, you had

443
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: an owner own it, you had a head coach lead it,

444
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: and then you had an offensive coordinator. Call him the floater.

445
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: I liked that nickname, the floater, But I mean he

446
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: directed it. He kept us in our lane. Obviously, we

447
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, we filtered down the offense. You know, we

448
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: did what we could do I think in that sense,

449
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: particularly what our offensive line can do and can't do.

450
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: You know, he kept us in quick rhythm. He re

451
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: established JT. You know, quick screen game, the RPO game,

452
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: all those things that are quick rhythm and and go

453
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: that way. And then number four, you know, and it

454
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: all comes together, and Joe said it, I thought we

455
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: opened and closed. You know, obviously we were ready to

456
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: play right off the bat emotionally, but also we closed

457
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: this out. You know, in the last six minutes, our

458
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: players made five key plays and you know, every Joe,

459
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: you know what, Matt, you know it. Most NFL games

460
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: are one possession games and the last four minutes or everything.

461
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: And if you go from six minutes down the steeple

462
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: chase run by Matt Ryan to get us down, there

463
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: was one to behold and then a play that can

464
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: never be forgotten, even though it started out bad for him,

465
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: but Pittman's recovery of that fumble right there is a

466
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: great play when you watch it on film because that

467
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: have been the game that when they knocked it out

468
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: of his hand and he hustled back and got the ball.

469
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: Play number two, Play number three, Paris's jack, you know,

470
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: catching the ball and running right through and over the

471
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: Raider defense. And then of course you know again Carr

472
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: was bringing him back. I mean he was knocking at

473
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the door, and you know he makes two really good

474
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: throws at the very end of the game, and Okarake

475
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: makes maybe the play of the season that strip on

476
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the tight end because that ball was there I mean

477
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: that ball was right on the shoulder pads and Bobby

478
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: got it out. And then our ultimate closer, who really

479
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: has closed out three games by himself, is Gilmore. You know,

480
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: you knew where they were gonna go, you knew how

481
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: they were gonna go. Gus chose to zero blitz it.

482
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: He brought everybody and played zero and said Gilmore sick

483
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: him and Gilmore went up and again, you know, closed

484
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: another game for our defense. So you know, a combination

485
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: of my four things owner, head coach, offensive coordinator, and

486
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: players that finished it. That's the tail of the tape

487
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: with Rick Ventury and Joe Writes. Tonight on Colts Roundtable Live, Hey,

498
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: we're at the local watering hole up in the Geist

Speaker 1: Reservoir with Rick Venturiy. That's a dangerous scene. I'll tell

Speaker 1: got all right, let's talk about the win on. Name

519

Speaker 1: that tune will help point out some of the Colt's

520
00:25:48,080 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: successes in Las Vegas. Here's Name That Tune number one.

521
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: Joe writes, you got this one? What do you think?

522
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Sounds like a group that I actually like, even though

523
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: they're a little bit older than me. But Aerosmith back

524
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: in the Saddle again and a boy, wow that we're

525
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: one for one. I like a gentleman. Yeah, we're going

526
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: back to nineteen seventy six Steven Tyler off the Rocks album.

527
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: Back in the Saddle again. Matt Ryan back in the

528
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: quarterback saddle twenty one of twenty eight passes for two

529
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: twenty two, had a touchdown and ripped off that thirty

530
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: nine yard gallop on in the fourth quarter to set

531
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: up the game winning score for the Indianapolis Colts, and

532
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan also delivered his fifth fourth quarter comeback of

533
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the season. Joe writes, what did you make of Matt

534
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: Ryan back in the saddle on Sunday? I thought he

535
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: was really strong. I thought we protected him well, again,

536
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: we stayed balanced. When you have two hundred in the

537
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: run game and the pass game, that's awful advantageous to

538
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But he made some big throws when he

539
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 1: needed to. You know. Really, my only gripe would be

540
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: that third and one play when we got a little

541
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: bit cute, you know, that fourteen yard sack that took

542
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: us out of field goal rains. But overall, I thought

543
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: he did a good job. And I really agree with Rick.

544
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think the call from Jeff to start

545
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Matt on Friday it really brought and gave additional buy

546
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: in from all those veterans in the locker room who said, hey,

547
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: we're going out here to Vegas to win a football game.

548
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, he really played well along

549
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: with all of the offense. And then how about that run?

550
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: Did I hear you? Did I hear you putting him

551
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: in the same categories you saying Bolt on air yesterday

552
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: Live Rick, Rick, can you confirm that happen? I said,

553
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: he looked like an Olympic sprinter. Come on, now, I

554
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: had to give him his I gotta give him his

555
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: props here he looked. I mean, that was his career

556
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: high and rushing for a game. He had it on

557
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: that one run, So kudos to him, and you're thirty seven.

558
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm thirty seven, Matts thirty seven. He still had it

559
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: on that play. He looked, he looked good for us

560
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: old guys. Reg What did you make of Matt Ryan

561
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: back in the saddle there? No, I really liked it,

562
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: you know, when I was asked, he's you know, on

563
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: the pregame before the game, who did I think would

564
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: be the best quarterback? And I said it would be

565
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I said, I you know, for several reasons.

566
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: I thought for the physical reason is we needed his arm.

567
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: I thought we could really stretch this team. We could

568
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: throw it all over the yard, you know, much like

569
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: we did against Jacksonville, and inevitably we did. I thought

570
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: the other thing, though, and Joe just touched on it,

571
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: and I thought this was huge. I felt all along

572
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: that this team. And it's no disrespect to Ellinger, we

573
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: all like Ellinger. I think ellinger is should be on

574
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: your team. I'm never I'm not convinced that he's an

575
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: NFL starter. I mean, I think he can back you up.

576
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: I think he can, you know, do special things for you.

577
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: But I don't. I know, I don't have that confidence,

578
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think the team does. And I think

579
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: what was beginning to happen was, you know, by by

580
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: making that move, not that you were intentionally panking, but

581
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: perception is everything, and it's not a question of taking.

582
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: It's a question of well, you know, we're beginning to

583
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: experiment in the twenty two season, and I think by

584
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: putting Matt back in the realm, basically what you were

585
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: saying is we are all in, guys, We're all in

586
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: on two twenty two, you know, and I believe we

587
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: should have been. I said that before the game. The

588
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: three to five and one is definitely not overcomable. We're

589
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: right back in the hunt at four to five and

590
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: one with everybody else now where. I think Parks did

591
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: a good job because sometimes scheme is really important to

592
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: your team. By utilizing your assets and by getting Matt

593
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: in that rpo game, that quick rhythm right off the

594
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: back those quick screens, and then re establishing the running game,

595
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: it was much like he played, with the exception of

596
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: not having of not going no huddle. It was very

597
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: much like they played their one good offensive game this

598
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: year against Jacksonville was a kind of a return to that.

599
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: Plus it helped our offensive line, got our offensive a

600
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: line block in the run and you know, as you

601
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: notice and the running game gets better as you go.

602
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: But I thought Matt really really function. But I think

603
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: as much as anything and Joe just hit on it,

604
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: I think that was a real psychological motivator. Again, like

605
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I said, when you take over in the middle of

606
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: the season, you've got to make some changes to let

607
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: that team know we're gonna be different. And we were,

608
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: all right, we're playing Name that tune here on Colt's

609
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Roundtable Live with Rick Venturry, Joe Wright, SI, Matt Taylor.

Speaker 1: Because I know you so well. That was your favorite

614
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: guy of all time. It's just your boy, Tom Petty.

615
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: You shot down the dream that I thought it was

616
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Jackson Brown running on empty. But I no,

617
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: I I like it. I like your style a lot

618
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: for the Monday Show. It makes it. It makes it

619
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of fun. There's no doubt

620
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: about it. The struggles that our offenses have had, you know,

621
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the year until really yesterday. I

622
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: think the number one problem was the inability to establish

623
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: JT again and the inability to establish the running game.

624
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think we're totally there yet because I

625
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: still don't think we have the answer. When they got

626
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: in their double sync, they stopped us, but they played

627
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: over about seventy percent of the time, which is our wheelhouse,

628
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: and we came out and pounded with JT. I said,

629
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: the number one of us going into the game is

630
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: re established JT. We have to we have to get

631
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: him back going again, and bam. We banged away at

632
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: him early in the game. You know, it wasn't great.

633
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: First couple of series, not great, but JT is one

634
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: of those cumulative runners, and we got our offensive lineback banging.

635
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: And I agree with Joe, that's the most aggressive we've

636
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: played up front with that running game. Then we've been

637
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: all season long, and our guys opened some holes, and

638
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, as the game went on, it started, then

639
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: the running game started. It started to become second and

640
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: five instead of second and ten like it's been all season.

641
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, second and six, second and four with those

642
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: running games, and then that quick passing game was just

643
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: the perfect compliment. And the RPOs are good because what

644
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: the RPOs do, it prevents you from running into a

645
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: heavily stacked defense because you have the option to throw

646
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: the ball. So all those things schematically worked in there.

647
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: But again we got him going. And then I've always

648
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: said Jonathan like all the great runners, but he really

649
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: has it because of his speed. He is a cumulative

650
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: back and by that I mean is he gets better

651
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: as the game goes on, and if you keep feeding him,

652
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: eventually he's going to break you. And that sixty six

653
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: yard touchdown did it. There you go, Joe, We're playing

654
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: full Moon Fever, Tom Petty his first solo album, Jeff

655
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: Lynn background from Elo Fame playing guitar, running down a dream.

656
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: That's because Jonathan Taylor looked like the Jonathan Taylor evolved.

657
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: That was a vintage performance ripping off that sixty six

658
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. Joe, is Jonathan Taylor back? Is this

659
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: offensive line back? Now? I think they're both back? And

660
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: I think JT looked one hundred percent healthy, which is great.

661
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: I think we settled on our offensive line too. I

662
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: think Will Fries has done a really nice job. I

663
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: think he's your right guard. Him and Smith seemed to

664
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: have a good rapport over there. You know, that first drive,

665
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: our first drop back passed. They ran a te that

666
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, accounted for about five sacks up in New

667
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: England the week before, and they passed it off seamlessly.

668
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: But I thought him and then Ryman settled in with

669
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: their positions. But really, you know, the three headed veteran

670
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: in terms of Smith, Kelly and Nelson, they were their

671
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: most physical and blocking downfield as they've been all year,

672
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: and I thought they really set the tone. And I'm

673
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: sure that Saturday, you know, and Jeff really challenged him

674
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: this week to play like the line that they can be.

675
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: And I think Parks did a good job of mixing

676
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: up our run game. We'd had some tempo in there,

677
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: quick screens, we got the defense tired, and then to

678
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: coaches point, he's exactly right on JT. You know, a

679
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: run that goes for four or five six in the

680
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: first half, those are the ones that break for forty

681
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: fifty sixty because the defense gets tired, the offense wears

682
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: him down and all of a sudden, those linebackers you know,

683
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: on that touchdown run. You know, we had an inside

684
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: zone to the left. Moali did a really nice job

685
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: coming back and cutting off Crosbie. There was a big

686
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: cutback and the linebackers were in conflict and the one

687
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: linebacker ran week Ryan Kelly did a great job coming

688
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: up sealing them off, and boom we were out the gate.

689
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: And so I think when you look at Jonathan Taylor

690
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: twenty two for one forty seven, we had thirty rushes

691
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: as a team, that's the recipe for this team is

692
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: to run the ball thirty times a game. You got

693
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: somewhere between one fifty two hundred on the ground. We

694
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: do that, we're awful tough to beat because again, the

695
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: ball stays in our hands and we dictate when we're running,

696
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: when we're passing. But again, the last thing I said

697
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: to open the show, you're able to do that because

698
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: you had a lead and you were up ten nothing.

699
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: It wasn't being down ten points like it seems like

700
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: we've been every game up to this year. All Right,

701
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: it's Joe writes Rick Venturry along, I'm Matt Taylor, are

702
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: playing Name that tune? Having some fun here on Colt's

703
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: Roundtable Live on ninety three five and one oh seven

704
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: five the fan. Let's go quickly on the last one.

705
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: Rick Ventury, I'm going with you first on this one,

706
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: because this is an oldie, but a goody. What do

707
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: you got here? Everybody's talking about everybody's walking wall, you think, Rick,

708
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: can you picked this one up yet? Oh my god,

709
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: that's the eagle new kid and now perfect. My suggestion

710
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be happy days are here again. No, definitely

711
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: the new kid in town. And nobody respects this more

712
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: than I do. And I talked about it before the game.

713
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: The challenge it is to call you your first game

714
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: to be an offensive or defensive coordinator in the National

715
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: Football It's studies have shown that those are the two

716
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: toughest positions in all sports. Defense is actually one, offense

717
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: is number two because of the decisiveness you have to

718
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: have the you know this fifty to seventy decisions that

719
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: you're making in twenty second intervals. That just that's very,

720
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: very difficult. And I thought he did a really good job.

721
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think with Jeff's instruction, I

722
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: think the first thing they did is they filtered down

723
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: the offense. They got rid of a lot of extra stuff,

724
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, they took the ideas, this is who we are,

725
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: this is who they are. We can execute with a

726
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: running game against that over We can quick rhythm, we

727
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: can our po it. Let's do what we do. Let's

728
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: take the heat off the offensive line, let them block

729
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: the run, don't put them in bad situations, don't put

730
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: them in seven step drop situations. You know, let's let's

731
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: go back to re established Taylor and then and he

732
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: really directed. It's one thing to talk before the game,

733
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: it's really another thing to direct it now. I am

734
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: going to keep a reality check here because today is

735
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: a happy to day, as it should be. Now, we

736
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: played the worst coached and the worst talented defense in

737
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: the league yesterday, so you know, there's no question it's

738
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: going to get tougher. And I think the biggest key

739
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: is going to be, you know, some of those things

740
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: that we did. Once you get a good look at

741
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: him like they got against Jacksonville, some of that stuff

742
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: now will be a little bit tougher as you go forward.

743
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: But you know, my hat's off to him. I just

744
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: I really get great respect for that guy. You know.

745
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: After one day, Yeah, we went back to nineteen seventy six.

746
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: Joe writes the Eagles off the Hotel California album New

747
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: Kid in Town Glenn Fry on the primary vocals there,

748
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: What did you make of the new Kid in Town?

749
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Parks Fraser Calm plays for the first time yesterday for

750
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: the Colts. Really impressive for a thirty year old to

751
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: dial up the game like that. And I agree with

752
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: you know, I've called plays at third grade football, like

753
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: we talked about. That's hard to do when there's thirty

754
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: seconds round the play let alone an NFL game, when

755
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: guys are six seven years your age and you're expected

756
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: to deliver for them. But he delivered. And I like

757
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: what coach talked about. And you know, the band is

758
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: the Eagles and we're going to see them up in

759
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: close six days from now ahead. How do how do

760
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: we do this against a better opponent now that they

761
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: have some tape on you? And I'm really excited for Parks.

762
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Is there going to be a big challenge? Yeah, but

763
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he does with this opportunity

764
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: coming up next week now with a little tougher mountain

765
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: to climb for him calling those plays. But again, hats

766
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: off to him. He should be celebrating today but at

767
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule right, it's about twenty four hours

768
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: here at about thirty minutes, and we got to get

769
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: focused on Philly, as does Parks add does the whole offense.

770
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: Hey go, you guys were three for three. I thought

771
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: it might stump you there in the last one, but

772
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: Ricky pulled it out. I'm I'm gonna be honest, I

773
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: didn't know the last one. The only Eagles songs I

774
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: know are Hotel California. I've been under ray the Last Resort,

775
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated songs that they have well done.

776
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: When you have children like I do, who are in

777
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: the MTV generation, and then you have grandkids now that

778
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: they're in the hip hop generation, man, I've had to

779
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: stay up with it just to communicate with no questions.

780
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: There's no there's nothing slipping past Rick Ventury in terms

781
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: of music. Right there, I can I can speak firsthand

801
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: the best person to ask the or to answer this

802
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: question being asked by Bobby. He's asking what does Jeff

803
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: Saturday have to do to get the Colts job on

804
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: a permanent level next season? And again, for those that

805
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: don't know, Rick Ventury was the last, prior to yesterday,

806
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: the last Colts coach to get a win as the

807
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: interim coach of the Indianapolis Colts. So, Rick, what do

808
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: you think about Jeff Saturday in terms of what he

809
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: has to do to be the coach next season. Well,

810
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: he had a gigantic start yesterday. There's no question about that.

811
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Anybody that doubted that one needs to recalibrate. You know,

812
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: in Joe and I, Joe knows this. We both made

813
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: our living in this business. It's your results oriented business.

814
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: So you know, at the end of the day, the

815
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: results will be there or they won't be there. But

816
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: I think the important thing and I think Jeff has

817
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: the right stuff in this sense. He's a very genuine guy.

818
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: I think what you see is what you get. I

819
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna audition or be somebody that he's not.

820
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: And I really think what's important is for him to

821
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: stay in his lane. And that lane right now is leadership,

822
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: managing people. Obviously managing the game itself, but really more

823
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: than anything is managing and motivating people, pushing the right buttons.

824
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: But let guys around him work, Let let the technicians

825
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: be technicians, and you know, be very steady on a

826
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: weekly basis. You know, at the end of the day.

827
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: I always kid people, I work twenty seven years in

828
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I had to be honest with you,

829
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: I felt like twenty seven years I was on a

830
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: one week contract, because you know, that's the highs and

831
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: lows of this business. I mean, we're coming off a

832
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: tremendous high and then you're looking right at Philadelphia in

833
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: six days. So yeah, the important thing is to you know,

834
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: is again to continue to be himself, continue to play

835
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: the leadership role in again let the results take care

836
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: of themselves. I said this all along, and one of

837
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: the reasons I thought he would be successful is I

838
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: really believe this team was a lot better than it

839
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: was playing, and I think we showed that yesterday. All right,

840
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: let's go to Sean Joe. He's asking should we shut

841
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: down Shack Leonard for the remainder of the season to

842
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: get him right for next season and keep writing our

843
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: linebackers now, who are playing very well. You know, I

844
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: think that remains to be seen. And obviously they made

845
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: the move Friday and you know, put him on IR

846
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: and you know, for him, I think it's just been

847
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: an up and down roller coaster. You know, you miss time,

848
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: you come back, you have a separate injury, you come back,

849
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: but you clearly don't look yourself on tape. And then

850
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: he had that setback Wednesday and practice and you know,

851
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where they go from here. I

852
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: do think the way our linebackers have been playing, you know,

853
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: Karaka and Zay or Franklin, that affords you that opportunity

854
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: a little bit because those guys are both playing at

855
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: an awful high level. I mean, you know, week in

856
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: week out, Franklin's making plays, you know, really providing a

857
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: ton of leadership too. And you know, coach mentioned o'karaka

858
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: probably had the play of the game there with Gilmore

859
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: down in the Raiders end zone. So you know, I

860
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: think overall, everybody just wants him to be healthy because

861
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: he's a game changing, dynamic player when he's hurt. But

862
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: it just seems like, for whatever reason, this twenty twenty

863
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: two season just kind of isn't in the cards, so

864
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: to speak, for Shack Leonard, and I think hopefully he

865
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: gets more information. I'm sure he's going to go see

866
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of different doctors, etc. And try

867
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: to really figure out what's going on and causing him

868
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: those issues that prevent him from being back on the

869
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: field at one hundred percent. A Colts Roundtable Live Tonight's

Speaker 1: he did, for all the coaches and players in that

913
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: locker room. But to me, now really gets fun because

Speaker 1: now you're gonna I mean, the Eagles are gonna be

Speaker 1: coach and new leadership. And that's what I'm excited for.

921
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I haven't watched a ton of Philly yet.

922
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: You know, I know the Sirianni influence, but I know

923
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: Coach Ventura, you've probably already cut up all their tape

924
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: and you're ready to go with a game plan over there. Absolutely,

925
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: and I do think I agree with you, Joe. I

926
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: think we could become the Cinderella team here with the

927
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: story that we have to play now. In terms of Philly,

928
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sugarcoat they're very, very good. You know,

929
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: they're one of the few teams I think they've surpassed

930
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo now. Statistically, they're one of the few teams that

931
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: is in the top five both on offense and on defense.

932
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: You know, they're led by their young emerging star Jalen

933
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: Hurts at quarterback, obviously big play receiver in our own

934
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: nemesis A J. Brown, with Smitty and Goddard, all three

935
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: guys have forty plus catches. Very tough on defense upfront,

936
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: with Reddick as a rusher in Hargraves. I think it's

937
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: like I say, I think it's a very good team.

938
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a superteam. Despite them being undefeated.

939
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: I see cracks. We'll talk about it on Wednesday in

940
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: our podcast when we get into the breakdown on them.

941
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: One thing I can tell you just at parting note

942
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: in their last game, you know, they play the Houston Texans,

943
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, and at the end of the three quarters

944
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: it was twenty one seventeen, just even Stevens. So you know,

945
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: if we can just build on that momentum from last week,

946
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: you know, keep our equilibrium. Come right back next week

947
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: at home. Fans should really be lit up for this
