00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: across your door wide touchdown for two yards straight on air.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: It out down field, down the far sideline, looking for

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Say Jones and it's intercepted by the Colts. I say

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Ah Rogers on the returns gets up the Taylor. He said,

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: touchdown in d Why Jonathan Taylor. Now here's your host,

Speaker 1: to sixteen loss to the Washington Commanders in week eight.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: It's a not so instant reaction. Had a bit of

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: a scheduling conflict this morning with some stuff I had

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to do with my kids, so it's coming out a

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: little bit later than usual, but we are still going

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: to have all the analysis you need to get wrapped

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: up on the Colts week eight loss to the Commander's Bill,

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: I want to start here. Let's start on a positive note.

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: You had a chance to join a number of Ring

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,600

00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Glenn's induction into the Colt's Ring of Honor. I saw

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: you had some conversations with Peyton Manning some guys behind

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: the scenes just town eat. Was it to have so

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: much of Colt's history altogether again to welcome Tart Glenn

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,840

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: those guys back, and of course Tart getting inducted to

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor. It was it was nice to

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: see all those guys and catch up and talk to

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: some of those guys and see what they're doing. And

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we were weren't really talking a lot about football, but

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: just thinks in the personal lives and doing and stuff

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: like that. So it's good to see that the guys

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: are doing well and it's it was great to see

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Tart go in and uh, well deserved and it was

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: nice time out down there. Yeah, So that was at

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: halftime of this game. The Colts wind up taking a

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: sixteen to seven the lead into the second half and

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: talking to nine heem Hines after the game, he kind

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: of made the comment of just we finally got a lead,

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: We finally got a two score lead, and then we

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: couldn't hold it. For the Colts coming out of this game,

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: when you look at some of the things they're able

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: to do on offense, with the explosive plays where you

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: get the forty seven yard at Alec Pierce, you get

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: the thirty eight yarder on the screen to Paris Campbell,

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you get the twenty eight yard or on the jet

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: sweep to Paris Campbell. There were signs of progress for

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: this offense just with some of the shots that were

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: able to take, some of the execution they had that

52
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: led to those explosive plays. But ultimately Bill six trips

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: inside the thirty you get three field goals out of those,

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown and two turnovers. That's kind of the story

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: of this game, isn't it. Yeah, when you get down

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: there and almost in the red zone, or you're about

57
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: to go in the red zone, you want to make

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: sure you secured that football so you can go down

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: there and get some touchdowns. You know, field goals and nice.

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: It's nice to get points, but there are times when

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: you need to get touchdowns. And last game against this

62
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: pass game against the Washington Commanders. We need to get

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: some touchdowns. And when you fumble the ball and turning

64
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: the ball over and makes it very difficult to win

65
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: football games. And we're at a point now I think

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: at this team is that I'm margin for error is

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: very slimy. So when you have a slim margin forever,

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: you have to capitalize on the opportunities you get when

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: you get down in the red zone, and that's scoring touchdowns.

70
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: And that's something that we didn't do against the Commanders yesterday. Yeah,

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, think about some of those plays where you know,

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: you get the little pop pass to Michael Pittman Junior

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: along the goal line where it looks like he gets in.

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm doing the PA I called a touchdown

75
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: because the side judge called a touchdown. He didn't get in.

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: Clearly it was overturned, you know, rather quickly. But then

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: you get a third and one and Jonathan Taylor loses

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: a yard. Frank Creich said, it looked like an offensive

79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: lineman got his footstepped down kind of you know that

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: that just kind of blew that play up. But you know,

81
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: then okay, you settle for a twenty yard field goal.

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, you get you know, a negative play here

83
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: where you know that you get down close to the

84
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: red zone. Dan Jackson loses four yards. In the next place,

85
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger loses a fumble. Jonathan Taylor finally breaks a run,

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, a nicer and he gets like six yards,

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: looks like he's picking up some yards and all of

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, the ball just pops out. I mean those

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: kind of plays, like you said, Bill, when you don't

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: have a very high margin for error, you know, it

91
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter how many yards you gain in between

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the thirties if you can't execute down in the red

93
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: zone exactly. You have to execute down the red zone then,

94
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, I look at football game for laugh things.

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: First is basically to me, I look at third downs.

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: You have to be successful on third downs, and then

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in the red zone, you have to be successful in

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: the red zone. You have to score points. Yes, sometimes

99
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to score field goals, but you need

100
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns. And when you're going down there, score

101
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: on touchdowns and then hopefully you can hopefully score enough

102
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns where you win ball games. But it makes it

103
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: very difficult when you don't do those things. If you're

104
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: not successful on third down, don't capitalize on your opportunities

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: down there in the red zone of scoring touchdowns. Yeah,

106
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Colt's averaging six yards per play.

107
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, that's a season high for this for this

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: offense was six yards per play, which is pretty good.

109
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: But again, when when you don't execute, that's just it

110
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter almost. And that's kind of the impression I

111
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: got from talking to some guys in the locker room

112
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: after the game. How did you think Sam Ellinger played? Bill?

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: I like what he did. I like what I saw

114
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: out there with Sam out there playing against the Commanders.

115
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: He did a nice job. You know, he was seventeen

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: for twenty three, two hundred and one yards, no interceptions,

117
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: So I think he did a nice job out there.

118
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I liked the way he stepped up in the pocket.

119
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: A lot of times they were they were kind of

120
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: collapsing on him. He stepped up in the pocket and

121
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: took some throws and he was looking to throw the

122
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: ball necessarily run the ball, which you did a nice

123
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: job of throwing the ball, getting the ball to the

124
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: receivers arm looked good. Nice deep balls to Alec Pierce.

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Nice one the Paris came up. We got a pass

126
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: in deference on that one. So I liked what he

127
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: was doing. I like Sam photoball over the middle. So

128
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: he did a nice job of I thought of doing

129
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: what he can do and not trying to be someone else,

130
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He just did. He just

131
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: did what he had to do, and those are things

132
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you need to do as a quarterback, especially a young quarterback. Now,

133
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: I think as the season goes on and he stays healthy,

134
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: you'll see more of Sam al or what he can

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: do and the things that he can brings to his

136
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: table and especially brings to his offense. Yeah. I mean

137
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: that deep pall to Alec Pierce. That the average depth

138
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: of targt or the depth of target on that excuse me,

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: it's forty one yards beyond the line of scrimmage, and

140
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: from where Sam threw at that ball traveled, you know,

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: almost sixty yards in the air. It looked like that

142
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: that was a strong throw. And when you think about

143
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: some of the work that he put in in the

144
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: offseason to increase his arm strength working with Tom House,

145
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: that's the kind of throw that you say, all right,

146
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: you know that that ball got there it got there

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: on time, It got there in the right spot to

148
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: Alec to let him go up and make a play.

149
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: That's the Colt's longest pass in a game since Ashton

150
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: Duelan had a sixty two yard touchdown in Week twelve

151
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers last year. So pretty pretty impressive play

152
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: right there. The other thing to talk about here with

153
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Sam was the operation of the offense looked pretty good.

154
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: He didn't have a lot of operational errors, you know, delays,

155
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, a delay of game, an illegal shift, uh,

156
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, substitution errors. Those weren't really present, which isn't

157
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: surprising from what we know about Sam Ellinger that he's

158
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: a very smart, cerebral quarterback that the moment was not

159
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: going to be too big for him. But just talking

160
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to Ryan Kelly after the game, he said, you know,

161
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: Sam was pretty good getting in and out of plays,

162
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, killing plays when he needed to, getting him

163
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: in the right protection. That was definitely a positive for Sam.

164
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Going against the defense. Bill that wasn't holding anything back

165
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get in preseason. No, No, Jack Darvel

166
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: is not going to hold anything back against a young

167
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: guy making this first start in National Football League so

168
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: I think Sam did a nice job. I mean, like

169
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: you said, I don't think the game was The game

170
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: wasn't too big for Samuel. Sam's played in a lot

171
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: of big games in college of course at Texas. He's

172
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: a nice job while he's here and just his preparation

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: for each and every game. He prepares like he's going

174
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: to play, and that's what you need to do as

175
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: far as a young guy getting ready to play in

176
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So it wasn't too much for him,

177
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: wasn't too big for him. He's stay composed, he was calm,

178
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't look like he got flushed with anytime during the game,

179
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: So I expected that. I think the only one thing

180
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: that happened that surprised me. I think one time Sam

181
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: he took a sack because the ball came out a

182
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: little bit too early on the snap. I think. So

183
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: that was one play, and actually that's a smart play

184
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: by Sam. You know the ball came out too early. Hey,

185
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: let's just kill the play right now. Let me go

186
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: down and we'll we'll take see what we can do

187
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: for the next play. So with the rest of this offense,

188
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: I kind of mentioned Alec coming up with that big

189
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: catch but let's talk a little bit about Paris Campbell Bill,

190
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: because this is now three straight weeks or he's making

191
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: plays in this offense, and it's it's been in different ways.

192
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, in Tennessee and against Jacksonville is a lot

193
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: of short passes. It was, you know a little bit

194
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: of yards after the catch to pick up first downs,

195
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: gets touchdowns in both those games. But in this game,

196
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, he takes that smoke screen thirty eight yards. Bill.

197
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: That was the longest play the Colts had on a

198
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: screen since Week five of the twenty twenty one season,

199
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: when Jonathan Taylor went seventy six yards against the Ravens Um,

200
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: which is you know, you love you love to see that,

201
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, a well executed screen in this offense. But

202
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: then you know the twenty eight yard Jets sweep. You

203
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: know you almost watching the watching Paris the last two

204
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: weeks we started to ascend. You almost forget how explosive

205
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: of a playmaker he is with the ball in his hands. Um.

206
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned it the past interference he drew

207
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: where he beat Rashad wild Goose on that play in

208
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: wild Goose sit to hold on to his hand was

209
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a touchdown and and just to to see

210
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: this ascent with Paris now where he's able to do

211
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: different things within the offense and impact the game in

212
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: different ways. When you're looking forward for what Sam Ellinger

213
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: can do and you got that kind of a weapon

214
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: who can do. He can, you know, get those tough

215
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: yards over the middle. He can you know, contort his

216
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: body to stretch the ball across the goal line. But

217
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: he can also be explosive with the ball in his hands.

218
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: That's pret nice weapon to have. It's very nice weapon

219
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: to happen. And I think we're seeing the talents that

220
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell had coming into the league. We all knew

221
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: that Paris can run and it was very athletic, but

222
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: now you can see once he gets in the open

223
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: field of things that he can do. Get him on

224
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: a jet sweep, it gets to the open field, makes

225
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: people miss, makes big yards. You get him on a

226
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: screen where he catches the ball in space and he

227
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: makes other people miss and picks up big yards. He

228
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: gets on top of a defender passing the ference. So

229
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: you see the things that he can bring to the table.

230
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: When you have someone like that that can bring those

231
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: type of talents to the table. There's a lot you

232
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: can do with it, and you see the coach starting

233
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: to use I mean, I'm happy for Paris, and it

234
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: looks like Paris was getting more confidence as the weeks

235
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: go along. As far as catching the ball, he made

236
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: one nice catch early in the game when the ball

237
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: was a little high, but he went up there, snacked

238
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: it with his hands, caught it, tucked it away and

239
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: got a few extra yards after that. So he's doing

240
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: a nice job. Last week he had a couple of

241
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: runs after catch. So I think he's doing all the

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: things you need to do as a right receiver to

243
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: be productive and to help your football team. And I

244
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: would love to see him to continue to get the

245
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: ball in space more because I think he can do

246
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot with the ball and it will help this offense. Yeah,

247
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the weapons around Sam Elinger do not look

248
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: like an issue. They look now, they look like a strength,

249
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean Michael Pittman Junior saved the drop

250
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: he had late in the game. He gets seven catches

251
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: for fifty three yards. You know, Nihim Hines, they get

252
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: a matchup on a linebacker out of the backfield. He

253
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: goes for twenty two makes a really nice catch down.

254
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: That was a tough catch when you when you have

255
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: a ball coming to you and it's going over your

256
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: options shoulder and you kind of a back backs and

257
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: trying to make that catch and try to follow the

258
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: ball into your hands. That's a very difficult catch. And

259
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: he made a nice catch. A nice adjustment by Nihim Hines. Yeah,

260
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, the pass protection maybe still not totally up

261
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: to the standard the Colt Swamp, but it looked better

262
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: again this week with Sam back there. And like you said, Bill,

263
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: where Sam. You know, when he did have to scramble

264
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: outside the pocket, he was looking to throw. He wasn't

265
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: looking to just tucking and run, which is really encouraging

266
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in his first career starts. So there

267
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: are pieces here with this offense that you can see

268
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: going forward. Give you some encouragement with what Sam Elliger

269
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: can do. You know. Met Jonathan Taylor sixteen carries seventy

270
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: six yards. He did of the fumble obviously, but you know,

271
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: looks looks like he's starting to get into some things

272
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: in the run game a little bit. Yeah, I hope

273
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: it continues to go. It looks like he got dinged

274
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: up with his z anko a little bit, and he

275
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: looked like that was a little hampering him a little bit.

276
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: As far as running it, he looked like he was

277
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: favoring a little bit. So hopefully that can heal and

278
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: he can get back there and do the things that

279
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: we know Jonathan Taylor can do if if he's healthy. Yeah. Yeah,

280
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: And here's here's a thing. Um, I kept getting questions

281
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: about this last week, Bill about if the shotgun run

282
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: game was hampering Jonathan Taylor. Bill, it is. It is

283
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: the the shotgun run game is where Jonathan Taylor's having

284
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: a success. He had ten carries for fifty three yards

285
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun in this game. That is where

286
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor this year, and that is where this offense

287
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: as a whole is having more success running the ball.

288
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: We'll see if the Colts can kind of get into

289
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: more of that Ellinger, a guy who maybe is a

290
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: little more comfortable in the shotgun, you know, because he

291
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: can run. That is something you can build on too.

292
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: And it was the same when Matt Ryan was back

293
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: there that the shotgun run game was having more success.

294
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: That is something the Colts can continue to build on.

295
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: This is not an issue with shock, you know, an

296
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: under center run game. It is hey, lets you know,

297
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: maybe lean into the shotgun run game a little bit more.

298
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: But again we're talking about all these positives, but uh,

299
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: it's the problem is they're not executing. No, not executing zone,

300
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: not executing and turning the ball over. Those are the

301
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: things that that hurt you. And you know we've talked

302
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: about this before him. We also talked about it last

303
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: week before the game about not having a lead going

304
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: into halftime. You know, those are the things that that

305
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: that that hurt you. And it's the tenth game now,

306
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: not having a lead going into halftime, so it makes

307
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: it very difficult as far as to take advantage of

308
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: certain opportunities when you you're playing behind the eight ball

309
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: all the time. Right, Um, so this is one of

310
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the things I think, you know, if the Coats can

311
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: start getting a lead and starting turnovers, which we got

312
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: one with Shack Leonard and nice interception and pressure by

313
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: Taekwon Lewis on the quarterback and so it was a

314
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: nice interception. But those are things you need to do

315
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: to win ball game. And as I said earlier, you know,

316
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: our margin for evers is small, so we have to

317
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: take an advantage of those opportunities when we get them.

318
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: One real quick thing, Bill is so the Colts they

319
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: got so Washington goes down, they make it sixteen to

320
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: ten with the field goal. The Bills or the Colts

321
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: then come back on offense. Why did I say them Bills?

322
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: I was up late watching they go and they get

323
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: a third and short at their own I think it

324
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: was their own thirty five yard line late in the

325
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and Frank reclects to punt in that situation,

326
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: it was pretty close to whether if Sam Ellinger got

327
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: it on the scramble or not. He was short, just

328
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: barely reclects to punt, And after the game he said

329
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: a couple of factors went into that. The first was

330
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: that the defense is playing well. Up to that point.

331
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: The defense was not allowing long scoring drives. That's been

332
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: something we've talked about quite a bit on this podcast,

333
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: but this year, it's hard to move the ball the

334
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: length of the field against the Colts defense, and even

335
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: if you got down into the red zone, it's pretty

336
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: tough to score on this Colts defense in the red zone.

337
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: So that was the first part that, Okay, we're confident

338
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: in our defense, The second part was that the Colts

339
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: haven't run a lot of quarterback sneaks with Sam Elliger,

340
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: and that's what you would go to there, because the

341
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: last time the Colts had a third and inches was

342
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: at the goal line where Jonathan Taylor got stuff for

343
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: a loss of one. So you understand why Frank was

344
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit hesitant to call a run there.

345
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: It would probably would have been a quarterback sneak, but

346
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: that's not something you practiced. That seemed to be the

347
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: right coaching decision by Frank Reich, where maybe analytically, just

348
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: the cold heart analytics of that said go for it,

349
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: but knowing his team, knowing his players, like if you

350
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: give the ball back to Washington in that situation, they

351
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: only need thirty five yards instead of seventy. It turned

352
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: out that Washington needed eighty nine with a great punt

353
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: by Matt Hawk, who had, you know, shout out to

354
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Matt Hawckey had a really good day punting. But then

355
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: the defense does give it up and now Frank's getting

356
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: second guests for being too conservative, which is ironic because

357
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: he's one of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL

358
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: in the course of his tenure. But um, I understand

359
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: that coaching decision. Don't have a problem with it. Trust

360
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: your defense and Terry McLaurin just made a great play

361
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: made He made a good play. Give the man, Give

362
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the young man credit. Coming back home to where he

363
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: played his high school football at in Dinanapolis, playing at Cathedral.

364
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: So came in here and made a play, and you

365
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: know it was a good play. You know, Gilmore is

366
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: right there with them, and so you know he stayed

367
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: with them is and it's tough for defensive back to

368
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: stay with a wide receiver that long when the quarterbacks

369
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: buying times, buying time and h you know he's trying

370
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: to plaster the receiver and stay with him. So you know,

371
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: give McLaurin creid uh Honeke threw the ball up there.

372
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: McLaurin went up and got it and both Gilmore had

373
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: it actually actually at the same time, and this McClaren

374
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: kind of pulled away from Gilmore and had it right

375
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: there at the one yard line. But going back to

376
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: earlier when you had the when coach had the ball,

377
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I think it was about five minutes left in the game,

378
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and at that point in the fourth quarter, you want

379
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: to run your five minute offense, and that is to

380
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: kill the clock, get some yards, get some first downs,

381
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: make the opponent us some of their timeouts, and then eventually,

382
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: if you hopefully you go down there and you're scoring,

383
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: you put it away. But I understand what Frank was

384
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: thinking about. Understand what Frank was doing. A defense was

385
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: playing well, make them drive the whole field. I mean,

386
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: that is very difficult for a team to drive the

387
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: whole field, especially with about what is probably about two

388
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: nine seconds left, I think, yeah, yeah, two thirty nine left.

389
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: So to drive the whole field and score some points

390
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: against a team that a defense that was playing pretty well,

391
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: that has played pretty well the whole season. Um, I

392
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: understand what Frank was thinking. I understand what was Frank

393
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: was doing, and he had confidence in the defense, And

394
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with that. Yeah, you know,

395
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: the Colts probably wish their pass rush got home a

396
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: little bit more. You know that fourth down play where

397
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: Heineke found Curtis Samuel on the crosser unique and Gatkway

398
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: loops inside. He gets he almost gets there, he kind

399
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: of gets pushed a little bit in the back by

400
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. He kind of then gets, you know,

401
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: out of the play, Heineck rolls out to his right

402
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and at that point that you know, there was almost

403
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: nothing the Colts could do defensively. Isaiah Rodgers has to

404
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: crash down on Heineke because it's a fourth and one.

405
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: If he scrambles for our yard, he gets first down.

406
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: He then hits Curtis Samuel. The other explosive play on

407
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: that drive was a twenty two yard game to Cam Sims.

408
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: He's really good dagger concept where the slot receiver held

409
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Julian Blackman with the deep route. Sims comes in on

410
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: the dagger, really good concept, and Heineke had enough time

411
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: to throw it in at a clean pocket. And then

412
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: the one to McLaurin, same thing where Heineke had five

413
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: seconds to throw that ball. And and like you said, Bill,

414
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: it's hard for us to find gilmore to plaster for

415
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: that long. Yeah, it makes it very difficult and the

416
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: thing you need to do. Hopefully you got a little

417
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: bit more pressure on Heineke to make him throw the

418
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: ball and make him doing something that he's not comfortable doing.

419
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: But give Comarando's credit, they gave protection to Heinik. He

420
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: had the ball in. Unfortunately he got the ball down

421
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: the field. But you know what, the guys played hard.

422
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: But it's tough when when you know you expect coming

423
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: into the season, you expect the things to be a

424
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: little bit different, and uh, you know, losing by one

425
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: point to the Commandos was very difficult, and pretty much

426
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: on the last play of the game. Close to the

427
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: last play of the game, McLaren makes a nice play. Yeah,

428
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you would expect holding a team to seventeen

429
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: points leads to win. It's like nine behind set after

430
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: the game, if we get literally one more touchdown out

431
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: of those drives, we're not having this conversation about the

432
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: execution and the mistakes, the self inflicted mistakes that the

433
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: offense made. One final thing before we wrap up. Taekwon

434
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: lewis I think this was I means seriously, like almost

435
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: one year to the day that he suffers the season

436
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: ending injury. He goes down the cart comes out right

437
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: now is we're taping this. We don't know what his

438
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: status is for the rest of the season, but um,

439
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: you hope it's not as bad as it looked for

440
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Tae Kwon because if it is, I mean that is

441
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: you talk about having just some awful, awful luck and

442
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: for the Colts in this game. You know, I think

443
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: that happened on a second and six and you're already

444
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: down Quitty pay at defensive end. Now you're down Taekwon Lewis.

445
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: I think that might have played a factor in the

446
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: past rush late in the game too, But just awful

447
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: for Taekwon. I feel for Taikwon, a young man that

448
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately had the injury before and had an injury before.

449
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if the same injury or not, but

450
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: had an injury before, and he worked so hard to

451
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: get back, just rehabbing, and that's a tough part mentally.

452
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: He's going through the rehab process just trying to get

453
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: back on the field, and he did everything that asked

454
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: of him and more to get back on the football field.

455
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: And he was playing well when he's playing this year,

456
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: he's playing well the time he's got in and the

457
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: things that he was doing helping a team out, helping

458
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: a defense being a problem that the rotation on defensive line.

459
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: And now I don't know what the injury is, but

460
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I feel for the man. When I see the cart

461
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: comes out usually is not good unfortunately, So I'm just

462
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: hoping for the best for the young man and that

463
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,439
