Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the Colts 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: Official Podcast, brought to you by our friends at when Bet. 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: My name is Jeffrey Gorman, joined weekend and week out 12 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: by Miss Lara Overtons, JJ Stankovits from Colts dot Com 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: and the Voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey Matt, 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to pay jeff all right, yeah, okay, 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: Steed bump there. Yeah, we're gonna get to Buffalo. Okay, 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to Buffalo and everything. But I need 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: first first glimpse. I like to call this little thing 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: after what happened. I love talking to coach Rick fan 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Urry about how to really score a preseason game. You 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: don't look at the final score after it is. There's 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: different ways to do that. First team defense, first team 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: offense against Buffalo, who wasn't playing their ones. I want 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: to start with your first impressions of this offense when 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: they took the field early on in this game against Buffalo. Well, yeah, 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: I mean obviously you always want you always want to 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: see more. You know, you want to see efficiency. You're 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: always left with wanting more than what you had. I mean, 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: you played about a quarter. Some guys leaked over there 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: into the second quarter, but I think what you had 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: four drives, about twenty plays, nineteen twenty plays, got three points. 31 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: Some inconsistency on third down, on fourth down, but I 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: think you know, if you just look at it individually, 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: if you look at Matt Ryan, I thought did some 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: really good things six for ten in the passing game. 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Looked decisive. The accuracy was there. I mean we've been 36 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: seeing that this entire time during training camp. I thought 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: the running backs looked really good. Philip Lindsay, I know 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't with the ones, but when he was out there, 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: looked really sharp, was going north and south, was decisive 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: with his runs. Naim Hines catching balls out of the backfield. 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think one of the bigger takeaways that 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: we've seen, I've talked about has been, you know that 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: the receivers and not getting separation, Well, you're you're not 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: game planning against Buffalo, right, You're not trying to scheme 45 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: up getting guys. Oh books a lot different too, of course, 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: So you know, I think the word that Frank use 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: was static. You know, we want we're not gonna go 48 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: in motion. We're not doing stacks and bunches again, we're 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: not taking advantage of the coverages and the matchups. So 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I think from that standpoint, you would like to see 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: them win more one on one matchups. But not being said, 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: you go back to like the first third down test 53 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: of the game. You know Alec Pierce's He's designed to 54 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: run a slamp pattern right into the coverage, right into 55 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: press man to man. There's really nowhere to go for that, 56 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: So I think you have to take everything sort of 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: in stride, know what you're watching. Didn't make some educated 58 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: conclusions based off of that, but I think all in all, 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: I think you saw some really good things from the 60 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: offense in the first game. I sort of know what 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm watching, but not like Rick Venturi does. So I 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: was talking to coach, like I think we all probably 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: did today after he got to watch the film, and 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: I was talking to him about that because there's no 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: one who's more fired up to break down a meaningless game. Yes, yes, 66 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: you better not use that word around him too. By 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: the way, it was not meaningless to coach. So I 68 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: asked him about that that route to Pierson. He said 69 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: kind of the same thing he told you about. You know, 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: it's a slant that's running right into the press coverage. 71 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: But in the regular season you probably would give Pierce 72 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: an option that would kind of become an option route 73 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: where if he reads that the cornerback is going to 74 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: take away the slant, he can go run something else. 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: There was no option on that play, so I know 76 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: it might you might think, Oh, these Colts apologists saying 77 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: it's totally fine the Pierce gate get off press coverage. 78 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: In the regular season, it's going to be different. And 79 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: by the way, Alec Pierce on that completion to Nyheim 80 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: Hines that went down the far sideline near the goal line, 81 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: watch Alec Pierce on that play. He had a great 82 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: release off of press coverage on that. So yeah, I'm 83 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: kind of you. I'm not super worried about it now 84 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: going back and watching it and talking to people who 85 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: know what they're talking about with it. I loved the 86 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: tight ends. I loved the work that you got. It 87 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: was great to see Gilani Woods have that touchdown, especially 88 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: after he has had some of the days a little 89 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: bit up and down in camp. You've seen some bright flashes, 90 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: but hasn't been maybe as consistent as some of the 91 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: other tight Ends in terms of the camp work that 92 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: we've gotten. That was huge for me. I loved how 93 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: involved kyl and Granson was in that game as well. 94 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: You're starting to see how his role is going to evolve. 95 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: And again, like the whole thing that you preface this 96 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: with is Frank saying, we're not going to show everything 97 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're gonna show very very minimally, but 98 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: you saw a few glimpses of exactly what they're going 99 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: to do. And what I really liked is just how 100 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: multiple the offense was, the different variety of pass catchers 101 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: that you had. Also, man, I mean I thought Foles. 102 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: Foles had some great moments and then Sam Ellinger really 103 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: put on a show in that second we stayed there 104 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: for a second. Guys and gals, can we stay there 105 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: for a second. Well, we can just get straight to 106 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: the mailback question of the week, because that's what it 107 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: was about. It was about sam Ellan here. I'm so 108 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: glad you brought Sam ellire be the number two quarterback. Yes, 109 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: I mean that's a question. He's a young guy, Foles 110 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: has been around for a lot. I understand the you know, 111 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: the the intration. Shout out to at Terry Obermeyer on 112 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: Twitter for the mail Let's give sam some love on this. 113 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Oh so do I think he should be the Is 114 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: that what we're saying. I'm just let's give sam Ellan 115 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: greson love. But could he be? Who? Could he play 116 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: well enough to become the Colts number two quarterback? You 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: brought Nick Foles in here for a reason. This was 118 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Frank Reich's mission to at some point get Nick Foles 119 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: in here. There is no replacing or you know, there's 120 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: no compliment too or anything that can override the experience 121 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: that Nick Foles brings in. He is solidified your number 122 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: two guy for a reason because you cannot squander opportunities 123 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: this season by not having a veteran presence at quarterback. 124 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: You saw it last year with jacob Eeson when he 125 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: was thrust into a situation that he wasn't ready or 126 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: prepared for. I'm not equating Sam Ellinger to jacob Eeson, 127 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: but there is no replacing the caliber of experience that 128 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: Nick Foles brings in, especially if you get to a 129 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: critical period late in the season or you have yourself 130 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: in a playoff pursuit, you know you've got that guy 131 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: right there. But Sam has a lot of things that 132 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: you love, and he has what I would call winning qualities. 133 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: And I do think that there is some role for 134 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger, and I do think that there could be 135 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: a position for him. We saw how they incorporated him 136 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: in some different situations last year, so I but I 137 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: just think that Nick Foles was brought in here to 138 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: do one job, and that's the job that he is 139 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: going to do. May day. We saw him this defense 140 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: come out and you know, case Keenom had a little 141 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: bit of success early on in this when they had 142 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: the ball in our defense came out there and then 143 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: it's settled down. Now. I was excited with the defense. 144 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: People were talking about it. Should we be excited? This 145 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: is the case keenum led offense, But it wasn't Josh 146 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Allen in there. I very much think so they did 147 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: to Buffalo what they've been doing to the Colts offense 148 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: when you've gone full pads, and that's pretty much dictate 149 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: things and take the ball away. I mean, anytime the 150 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: Colts got their hands on the ball, whether that was 151 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: an interception or a fumble, they came away with it. 152 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: And that was the hallmark of the defense last year. 153 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: We all know that outside of that first drive, there 154 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: was some chunk plays allowed. You know, Khalil Shakir got 155 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: opened a couple of times. They got all the way 156 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: down to the five yard line. Obviously, in that situation, 157 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: if it's a regular season game, the Buffalo Bills are 158 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: probably gonna get three points on that drive, settle for 159 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: a field goal, but they went for it. The Colts 160 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: made some plays and Nick Cross looked and I mean 161 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: there was a couple of plays where Nick Cross is 162 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: setting the edge by himself and also making the tack. 163 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: So he looked incredibly good. And again he continues to 164 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: have the leg up to start at the strong safety position. 165 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: Some other guys that stood out to me, Bobby o'caraca 166 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: played well, unique and Gockway played well. I thought they 167 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job against the run for the 168 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: most part. There was that one time where they lost 169 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: contained and Zach Moss had a big gain. I think 170 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: that might have been the first drive of the game 171 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: to set up that score. But really outside of that 172 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: first drive, I thought the first team defense and then 173 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: to continue on the rest of the game where the 174 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: rest of the defense were playmakers and they had takeaways. 175 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: I was really excited to see what I saw fundamentally 176 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: and foundationally from the defense right out of the gate. 177 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about how this attacking front is 178 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: going to look in a game and how it's going 179 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: to impact guys like DeForrest Buckner and Quiddy pay. Let's 180 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: talk about Grover Stewart Man. Groves had a really good 181 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: camp today. During practice on Tuesday, he had a play 182 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: where the Colts ran kind of an end around where 183 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor pitched the ball to Niheim Hines and Grover 184 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: Stewart met niheem Hines as he caught the pitch, didn't 185 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: get didn't get hooked on that. The penetration he had 186 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: on that play was just unreal. Grover is sneaky quick, 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: that is one of the things that people underestimate about 188 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: that guy. He okay, so here's the story. Listen, you 189 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: realize what I've just done. My bad, my bad track 190 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: did well. He was a thrower. Hold on, he was 191 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: a thrower. Okay. So he was in the throwing events 192 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: in high school and at one point he was talking 193 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: to his coach and felt like that. He's like, I 194 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: want to see what I could do one hundred, and 195 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: the coach is like, all right, go ahead and line 196 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: up in the hundred. He ran the one hundred meter 197 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: dash against true sprinters in his throwing shoes. So I 198 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know like the difference, Like 199 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: you have spikes in a in a track shoe in 200 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: a regular running shoe, but the throwing shoe is a 201 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: flat surface so that you can pivot and spin right 202 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: to throw. So it's a completely different type of traction. 203 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: And Grover was leading the race until about thirty meters 204 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: to go. This is all accurate I've got in my 205 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: notes here ran the one hundred meter dash in high school. 206 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Started he started a race in a three point stance. 207 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: I had that. I have that written down. Started a 208 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: race in a three point stance and finished third. He 209 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: throw shot in discus, but was like, yeah, I wanted 210 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: to shake it up and go out there. Yeah, for 211 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: sure and think it quick. The other thing is if 212 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: he'd had prop for sprinting spikes, that guy would have 213 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: played finished top three. That's right. I'm sorry I let 214 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: that out of Pandora's box. I'm sorry, but yes, no 215 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: it with as many jokes, you can at least give 216 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: me this anecdote. Absolutely, yeah, because Grover and I had 217 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: a full breakdown about this on Colts three sixty. That's 218 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: why you want to tune in every Saturday night Sunday. 219 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: You know her from colch dot com and everywhere else. 220 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colt. JJ sankovits senior writer 221 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: from colch dot com The Tight Ends. JJ. I'm gonna 222 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: start with you. It's been exciting the whole year, has 223 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: been exciting since Draft day to watch those two Redwoods 224 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: that they got out of the draft. But you also 225 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: got let's let's let's get let's talk about that quote 226 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: that Kyle and Grandson gave Lara on the sideline. My 227 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: favorite quote of the game was Kyle and Granson saying, 228 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just the little pine tree in the 229 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: forest of redwoods that we got here. I asked him, 230 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: I said, what does that make me? Am? I like 231 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: a bonzaye? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're some sort of garden 232 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: flower or something. You know. Uh, tight ends, tight ends 233 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: can move. I think that was the biggest. That's all 234 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: four of them too, Yeah, all four of them the thing, 235 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: and and Kyle and Granson looked really good. I thought, 236 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: so much more comfortable he is. He's you can you 237 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: can see. You can see that he's playing faster this year. 238 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: We're seeing it out here at Grand Park. We saw 239 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: it in the game on Saturday. He's playing faster this 240 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: year than he did last year. It's just probably the 241 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: natural progression of a rookie tight end going into year two. 242 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: But then, speaking of playing fast, did you catch that 243 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: whe where duro Ogletree had the ball in his hands 244 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: and he was running at those Bills defenders. It looked 245 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: like they didn't want to I don't want to do 246 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: this business decision out there. I mean, but Drew drew 247 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: out here. He had a play today in practice where 248 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: he kind of caught a similar thing and he took 249 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: off running, and I was like, man, good thing. Good 250 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: thing we're not tackling here. Good thing we're not on pads, 251 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: because like, if I'm a dB and I got Drew 252 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Ogletree coming at me six five, two sixty running like 253 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: a gazelle, I don't want to try to bring that 254 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: guy down. Um. Loved how those two guys moved to 255 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: then Jeannie Woods. I talked about it with Bill Brooks 256 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: on the Instant Reaction pod we did on Sunday. But 257 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: just that feel that he had for where to go 258 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: and find space on that touchdown on the scramble drill 259 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: with Allinger was really impressive, really good. And what Gilani 260 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: told Lara after the game about how he kind of 261 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: like he found the joy again. I thought that was 262 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: a really really good thing to hear again because you, 263 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, he's had kind of an up and 264 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: down camp rediscovering that, Oh you know, this is why 265 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: I love playing football. I think you'll see his arrow 266 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: really start pointing up as camp goes on. Who has 267 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: got we're hearing? I'm hearing so much different stuff with 268 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: this Detroit Lions coming in for two days of practices 269 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: against controlled scrimmages before the preseason game. Guys, have you 270 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: heard anything about starters. This week at Lucas Oil Stadium, 271 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: they will not play no starters, So there will not 272 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: be any starters on Saturday when it comes down to it. 273 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: So because of the wealth of work you'll get in 274 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: the two joint practices, you're going to get so much 275 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: out of that you don't want to overextend guys by 276 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: essentially doing three joint practice slash game opportunities with him 277 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: four days. There will be some second and third team 278 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: ers in there, which brings me to this the Coultch 279 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: wide receiver room right now, we saw a big number 280 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: seventeen back in here for the first time, Michael Strand. 281 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: Where is he at this point of the camp. Guys, 282 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: with the way that this roster is in that wide 283 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: receiver room because we don't know how they keeping five 284 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: or they keeping six, what does Stran bring to this group? Well, 285 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: just one thing to keep in mind too is Kiki 286 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: Qts dealing with the groin injury out of Buffalo, So 287 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: that creates some opportunities now for some other guys to utilize. 288 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: This time. We saw a lot of too. Michael Harris 289 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: out there today because he can kind of step into 290 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: that role. So it'll be interesting to watch how long 291 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: that injury lingers, because Keiki had had a really solid 292 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: camp to this point, so it's interesting to see this 293 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: next week will be critical for that group, just purely 294 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: on who is available. And Mike Stron's got a lot 295 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: of work to do because we already know he hasn't 296 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: in the past played on special teams, which is something 297 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: you strongly consider in evaluating the depth of your wide 298 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: receiver positions, and you're making those business decisions with those 299 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: fifth six potentially maybe I don't know, even seven wide 300 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: receivers if you're really getting that deep into it. And 301 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: he hasn't played special teams in the past, but you 302 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: do love all of the things that he brings. And 303 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: last year was a red shirt season essentially for him 304 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: because he hadn't played football in two years because the 305 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: COVID season, So he has a lot to prove. What 306 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: he can lean on, though, is the amount of time 307 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: he got in the spring with Matt Ryan, So you 308 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: need to see that though, catch up very quickly. Good 309 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: to see him out there for his own sake trying 310 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: to make this team, because you're exactly right, last year 311 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: was a red shirt year essentially in the grand scheme 312 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: of things because after Week two what he played only 313 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: ten snaps the rest of the season, wasn't active past 314 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: week nine. So there's an opportunity for him because of 315 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: at the moment, you've got ke Qt banged up with 316 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of something there. Yeah. Yeah, with him 317 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: being out here, it's perfect timing because he's going to 318 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: have six practices, two preseason games. And to your point, Lara, 319 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: he is running down on special teams. He was covering 320 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: punts today and he wasn't doing that this time last year. 321 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: Remember last year we kept thinking, as this guy gonna 322 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: be the number two receiver. I mean we're talking about 323 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Mega Strawn and you know, there's just there was just 324 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: such a big learning curve for him coming out of 325 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,479 Speaker 1: Division two Charleston, not having a season during the COVID pandemic. 326 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: There was a lot for him to obtain in terms 327 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: of knowledge. So it's huge for him to be out here. 328 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: But he made some place today. He was out there 329 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: with the twos, caught some passes from Nick Foles, had 330 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: a couple of big time catches in an eleven on 331 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: eleven periods. So he still has a chance. He's got time, 332 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: but there's certainly no margin for air for him to 333 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: make this team because I think as of now, you're 334 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: probably only going to keep five receivers. So between patman 335 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: Qt and all those other guys and Strawn's in that bucket, 336 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: I think there's only room for one. Real real quick 337 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: on him, I thought he looked pretty good. I thought 338 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: he moved pretty well today. I'm really interested how much 339 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: run he gets in the preseason game. That's kind of 340 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: what I'm going to keep an eye on because it 341 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: it feels like, because he missed all that time, he 342 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: really needs this preseason game to get out there, get that, 343 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: get that on field work, whether it's with teams, whether 344 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: it's with the offense. UM. I think that's gonna be 345 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: really important for him coming up the Detroit Lions out 346 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: here at Grand Park. You know, Cult training Camp is 347 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: presented by cours In Fire and Security. I needed to 348 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: get that in for you, mate, But the Lions are 349 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: coming up here for joint practice. One thing though, before 350 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: we get to the lines, did you guys know who 351 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean? We have? We have some people. We had 352 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: some stars out here today. We had Bill Paul, We 353 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: had Jeff Saturday and Jeff so I was looking for 354 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: Jeff all practice and he blended in completely with the 355 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: offensive line. Like I seriously, I couldn't find him for 356 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: the majority of practice, and then I caught up with 357 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: him afterward, but he and Ryan Kelly were locked up 358 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: in this conversation and I'm like, oh, just like osmosis, 359 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: just to absorb all of us. I was walking in 360 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: close proximity as close as I could to not feel 361 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: like a soccer, to try to just be like, oh, 362 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: what is this? What are the intricacies of this conversation 363 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: that are happening? But that's going to continue. Oh week, 364 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: it's a huge week out here, like you were saying, 365 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: but it's already started out here with some of the 366 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: guys who we've seen so far. The buzz is here. 367 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Sal Palantonio from ESPN, mcafeeld, what's that all that? We'll 368 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: talk later self. Good to see you all, right, join 369 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: the join us for tomorrow's podcast where Jeffrey breaks it down. Okay, 370 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about the joint practices. Here's what I'm saying, guys. 371 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: Tonight will be episode two of Hard Knocks. Last year, 372 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: we saw in season with the Colts Haard Knocks, we 373 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: saw last week MotorCity, Dan Campbell brings guys out there 374 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, we are going to chew you 375 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: off at the kneecap and we don't care if you're 376 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: playing with half an ass and three fingers, We'll still 377 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: beat you. We're gonna drown and bury you at the 378 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: same time, treadwater and bury. My thing is watching this. 379 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: We saw the pass good fellas passion of the of 380 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: the running back, you know, with the after after the 381 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams I think it was, and the speech and 382 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: everything like that. But I'm saying, you come into these 383 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: scrimmages keyword controlled. I'm just thinking there's are two different 384 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: levels of teams coming in. No disrespect of the second 385 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: year to him, Yeah, but the extracurricular stuff and the 386 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: injury and all this craft that things controlled scrimmages bring in. 387 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: They're part of training camp. But this is a team 388 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: that's saying, hey, we got nothing to lose, man, We're 389 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: just gonna let it high. And we're out there saying 390 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: we got a fourteen year quarterback in there, we got 391 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: the best running back in the NFL. You know, are 392 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: we being smart with this? Yeah? Because Frank Craik has 393 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: had a lot of conversations with Dan Campbell. They happened 394 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: before training camp. You're kind of when you're doing these 395 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: joint practices, you're always communicating of like, here's what the 396 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: expectations are. Dan Campbell may be a energetic coach, to 397 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: put it lightly, but I don't think he's reckless with 398 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: how he's going to coach his guys up. I'm excited 399 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: for this because that the Lions kind of sneakily have 400 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: a pretty good offensive line. This is gonna be a 401 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: really fun those one on one battles between our D 402 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: line that looks really good and the Lions O line, 403 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: which has got some really talented guys. Pinas sewell, you know, 404 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: Decker is a good player, Jackson's a really good guard, 405 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: rag Now is a good center. They got some play 406 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: years on that line. Those are gonna be fun to watch. 407 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be keyed up on those. But I do 408 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: think that's a storyline of these joint practices the next 409 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: two days on Wednesday and Thursday, because as you said, 410 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: with Dan Campbell, that that's his personality. I mean, I 411 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: don't know how good the Lions are going to be 412 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: this year coming off a three win campaign. But their 413 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: m is we're gonna be physical. You know, we're gonna 414 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: be tough. And and he's he hasn't shied away from 415 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: that since he took the job. Can the Colts match 416 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: that in practice? And and JJ's right, it's not gonna 417 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: be stupid. You know, hopefully you don't have a lot 418 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: of late hits and stuff going on after the whistle. 419 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: I guarantee you there's gonna be dust ups and skirmishes 420 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: and guys getting each other's faces. No three, yeah, I 421 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: would say, and of course of two days, I'd say 422 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: at least three significant ones. And hopefully or they're not 423 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: getting guys. I mean a couple of years ago, eighteen, 424 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: like there was a guy throwing a helmet. I remember 425 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: that guy kicked out of practice. There was only one 426 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: unreal dust up last year with Carolina, like a big 427 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: there's only one big one. And I remember the play 428 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: after it. They ran a running play to Jonathan Taylor 429 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: and JT just pop. Remember that. It was like all right, 430 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: generally speaking, again, you know, it's not like the Colts 431 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: aren't preaching being physical, but we know, like with the Lions, 432 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: it's out there front and center that's the theme of 433 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: hard Knocks, if you will. So that's a storyline. Another 434 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: storyline is just the matchups that JJ was talking about. 435 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: I want to see Aiden Hutchinson against this offensive line. 436 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a good test when the all old 437 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: line and d line break up for one on ones again, 438 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: just just press man to man coverage with the receivers 439 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: on both sides, because you know, we're at the point 440 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: in training camp now where even Alec Pierce knows what 441 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is looking for and vice versa. I mean, 442 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: it's I'm not saying it's stale, but we've reached that 443 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: point in camp where it's going to be really good 444 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: to break it up with Stefan. What did I say, 445 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs? My bed, Yes, I got still got buffalo 446 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: on my mind. Good, you're good at thinking what did 447 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: that happen? I just got traded? Uh? But no, those 448 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: are some things that are really gonna help break up 449 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: camp and give a good idea of where this team 450 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: is going into the regular find out some battles and 451 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: these and these ones. We talked about the backup quarterback 452 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: situation when Nick Foles and Sam Ellinger we talked about 453 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: the tight ends. Who's gonna make the squad, who's gonna 454 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: I got a couple of things I want to throw 455 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: at you. Where are we at with this kicking game? JJ? 456 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: Let me start with you so I'll miss kicked by 457 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: Jake Verite. That's not good. In the first preseason game, 458 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: Rodrigo blanketshif. I'm not saying he's given this job by default, 459 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: but this kid's gotta make some quicks, some kicks. How 460 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: are we looking in special teams? I think you kind 461 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: of summed it up with the kicking competition that you know, 462 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: Frank Creich said, we really do weight the games heavier 463 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: when it comes to that, and what we're seeing that 464 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: out out in the practice field. So I think today 465 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: they did a little bit of kicking at the start 466 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: of practice. I think hot Rod made all of his kicks, 467 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: and I think Verity might have missed a couple. Uh. 468 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: Verity's got a big leg though, I mean the ball 469 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: when it comes off his foot, it explodes off his foot. 470 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: So you can see why the Colts want to keep 471 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: getting a look at him. First round of roster cuts 472 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: were today on Tuesday. Jake Fardy was not among them. 473 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: So they are clearly going to continue this competition for 474 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: at least another week. Can you give me second round 475 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: in third round cuts as far as dates go to 476 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: keep our fans up, So yes, today today is Tuesday, 477 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: August sixteenth. The Colts cut down to eighty six. The 478 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: short explanation is because Marcel Deabo was given to the 479 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: team as in the International Pathways program, they can keep 480 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: eighty six and set eighty five. He doesn't count against 481 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: the roster total. Next week, next Tuesday, on the twenty third, 482 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: NFL teams have to cut their rosters down by another 483 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: five players to get them down to eighty. In the 484 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: Colts case, it'll be eighty one, and then two weeks 485 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: from today that is the final roster cuts, that'll be 486 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: down to fifty three. Practice squads can be created after 487 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: that eighty to fifty three. Mark, I want all you 488 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: guys impressions of this with this team, that eighty to 489 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: fifty three. Is it hard decisions? Is it two hard 490 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: decisions or is it a hell of a lot of hardness? 491 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: I think it's. I think it's going to be quite 492 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: a few because you've got a lot of undrafted guys 493 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: who have flashed sometimes during camp. You know, whether it's 494 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: a Joejoe Doman or a Dallas Flowers. You know, some 495 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: of the running backs, some of the wide receivers, they 496 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: are gonna be some tough decisions. Even the offensive line. 497 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: I thought some of the backup OH linemen with the 498 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: second team it played pretty well. You know, the French 499 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Fries combo is pretty good. Both, but we laugh about it. Both. 500 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: Those guys played pretty well on Saturday. Gonna be some 501 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: tough decisions, certainly, but you like you like that. You 502 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: want to get to this point in the year and 503 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: start thinking, man, two weeks from now, who are we 504 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: gonna cut that? You want to think that instead of like, 505 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: who are we going to keep? Right? Yeah, you want 506 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: it to be hard, not easy, you know. Well, then 507 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: you also have to keep in mind as well, there 508 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: are guys that you're watching who are in other camps 509 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: right now, who might get cut, who you're intrigued to 510 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: bring in, and you want to see maybe what they 511 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: can be here. So it's not just your own roster 512 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: that you're examining. You're examining all the other thirty one 513 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: and other guys who are maybe becoming available that you 514 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: didn't expect our pro scouting department. You know john Shaw 515 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: and those guys. They have a lot to work cut 516 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: out for them over the next couple of weeks, for sure, 517 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard is included in that. But I forget 518 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: I think I think roster mechanic wise, I think the 519 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: toughest is just the skilled players on offense. We talked 520 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: about that the last couple of weeks. Four tight ends, 521 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: four running back, six receivers. I don't know if you 522 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: can keep four to four and six, that seems like 523 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: an awful lot. Okay, you know what I'm saying. Okay, 524 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw one to you off the cuff here. 525 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: You guys don't know what I'm gonta go off the cuff, 526 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: off the cuff. I like, this is why we love 527 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: it when you host. I want to know your thoughts 528 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: on where we are at with the man from Michigan, 529 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Quitty Pay, and what he brings to this defense. It's 530 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: been a little quiet, I know not maybe you know 531 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: a lot of rave reviews and whatnot for Quitty Pay. 532 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: How important is he to this defense with the addition 533 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: to the unique and Goatway, and how it is important 534 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: is it to him to get results from the other 535 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: side of the of the unique real quick go to 536 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: Colts dot com and read the story I wrote about 537 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Quitty on Friday, I talked to him just about kind 538 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: of what he's been doing to make that year one 539 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: to year two jump. A lot of really technical things 540 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: that he's worked on, but things that he now understands 541 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: he has to work on. I think he's been playing 542 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: pretty well during camp so far, doing the responsibilities he needs, 543 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: doing that big end position. The cults are pleased with 544 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: where he's at. I think the way that the Colts 545 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: d line shapes up is a really good situation for 546 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: the kind of player that Quitty Pay can be. And 547 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: you're you're seeing it from you know, guys out here 548 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: talking about him and talking about how he's making plays 549 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: out in practice, and you mentioned quiet, and I think 550 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: that's how Quitty wants it to be. He wants to 551 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: kind of let the other guys take the limelight a 552 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: little bit and then you know, make himself known on 553 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: game day. Because when he came in there was a 554 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: ton of pressure on him last year, and he didn't 555 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: shy away from it. And I think he certainly stepped 556 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: up to the challenge that he had, so this year 557 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for him to have guys to learn behind, 558 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: for him to work with, and for him to be 559 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: able to thrive in those situations. I mean, he has 560 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: just done so much to be proactive this year in 561 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: spending time training with the Forest Buckner in the offseason, 562 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: learning from him, attaching himself too Yunique and gok Way 563 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: to learn things from Unique and incorporate different techniques that 564 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: he can bring in and benefit from as well. So 565 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: he's quietly putting in this work and I believe that. 566 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: I think that you're talking about you know, week one, 567 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: week two, you're gonna see it all come to fruition. 568 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: He told me. He said, you know, he finished last 569 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: season pretty strong, but he wants to make sure he 570 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: can do that over the course of the full season. 571 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: And he made has full eyesight now yeah he can. Yeah, 572 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: that helps that. Okay, the eyesight. The eyesight, that's one 573 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: thing might help. Another thing that Quddie told me is 574 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: that his grip strength has not always been the strongest. 575 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: But as a defensive lineman in the NFL, you really 576 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: have to have strong hands. That's kind of the big key. 577 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: You have to be able to manipulate guys and use 578 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: your hands to grab their jerseys and move them around. 579 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: So he's been working. You know those grippers that kind 580 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: of like you squeeze him together and you know, get 581 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: like jacked up four arms. He's just been walking around 582 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: the facility with those just constantly doing. No one can 583 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: see me because this is a audio medium, not a 584 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: visual medium. But he's like gripping his hands together to 585 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: gain to gain that grip strength, because that's so important. 586 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you mentioned this is an audio not 587 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: a visual medium, because I wish people could see what 588 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: happened to your your face. You're a little baby face, 589 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: a little baby face. Jay, fifteenth time I've had to 590 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: talk about this today.

What do we expect? 634 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: What are we saying on Saturday night? After this week? 635 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: The most important days of this week? In my opinion, 636 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: I may be wrong our Tuesday and Wednesday. I know 637 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: Saturday's a big day too, but what are we getting 638 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: to Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday rather Wednesday with 639 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: the joint practices, and then the game on Friday, because 640 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm not calling it a JV game. There is no 641 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: JV games, but the stars aren't out on Saturday. What's 642 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: the accomplishment for this week? Is it, indeed to find 643 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: those fifty of those who is the players that are 644 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: going to make this team that are still at that 645 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 1: eighty seventy five sixty five mark. First thing is stay healthy. 646 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: No more major injuries. Colts have been so knock on wood, 647 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: blessed in that department. Really the only thing going so 648 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: far as Shaquille Leonard and then some minor stuff with 649 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: Brandon Face and Isaiah Rodgers Strand's back. So that's really 650 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: really good. But I think the biggest thing you want 651 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: to take away from Saturday's game is, Man, we thought 652 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: it was gonna be tough, it's even tougher now because 653 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: we saw extended run from this guy. Right, This number 654 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: two or this number three played really well. He played 655 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 1: much better under the lights in a game like setting 656 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: than he did in practice when he's only getting a 657 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: couple of reps you know, every other series. And I 658 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: love what Zayre Franklin said a couple weeks ago about 659 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: when I was a rookie, I was getting a couple 660 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: of reps every other team period.
