1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts. Now. Here's the voice of

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, welcome inside the Colts Daily

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Update tonight. Happy hump Day. I'm Matt Taylor leading into

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Pacer coverage. Tonight, the Pacers take on the Wizards at

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Gamebridge Field House. It's the first game of the season

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: tonight for the Blue and Gold, So good luck to

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: the Pacers tonight and all season long. The Colts meanwhile,

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: return of the practice field today for the first time

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: this week as they begin preparing for the Tennessee Titans.

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: It's the three two and one Colts and the three

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: and two Titans, who are fresh off the buy and

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: first place in the AFC South is on the line

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: this weekend down in Nashville, and the Colts will be

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: looking to stop a four game losing streak to the Titans,

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: who have won the division two years in a row.

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: The four game winning streak for the Titans, by the way,

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: is their longest winning streak ever against the Colts, and

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: they came out victorious and the first meeting twenty four

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: to seventeen back on October. The second and Lucas Oil Stadium,

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: and that game, they got up big early. They led

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: twenty four to three before the Colts rallied back in

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the second half and came up short. And even though

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: the Colts are three two and one and off to

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: an undesirable start, let's put it that way, the Colts

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: have aspirations of winning the division for the first time

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen. But the Titans have owned the division

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: and the Colts, and I'm sure the Colts are sick

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: and tired of hearing about that, but that chatter will

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: persist until the Colts do something about it. And Frank

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Wright today talked about why the Titans have been a

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: good team the last few years and why the AFC

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: South still runs through Tennessee. They're physical upfront on both

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. But probably the thing that Tennessee

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: does as well as anybody is they don't beat themselves.

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: You know. They they're really good at situational football. They

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: don't beat themselves. Turnover ratio is normally pretty good and

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: so and they are very disciplined team, so very good

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: football team defending number one see last year in the

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: FFC obviously division champs, so all roads, all roads go

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: through in Nashville. That's Frank Ryan, and he's exactly right.

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: The Titans do not hurt themselves. They don't make silly mistakes.

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: They're three and one this season so far in games

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: decided by one score, and they're twenty four and thirteen

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: and one score games since Mike Vrabel took over in

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. That's because they're great. They're awesome inside the

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: red zone, and they don't turn the football over. They're

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: number one in the NFL and red zone efficiency twelve

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: or thirteen and scoring touchdowns inside the twenty yard line,

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: and they've converted their last eat eleven red zone trips

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: into touchdowns. So they're not an explosive offense, but they

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: don't miss chances to score incredibly efficient, and they've also

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: routinely won the turnover battle when they play the Colts.

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: During this four game winning streak over the Colts, the

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Titans have won the turnover battle in three of those games,

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: including the first meeting this year, where the Colts turn

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: it over three times to the Titans Nune. So had

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: the Colts not turn it over in that first game,

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: they likely would have won because they held the Titan

60
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: scoreless in the second half, and Tennessee's been a great

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: starting team this season and then they have to hang

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: on for dear life. A lot of times. They've outscored

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: their opponents in the first half Tennessee that is, in

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: the first half this season by thirty five points, which

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: is the fourth best margin in the NFL. But then

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: in the second half they've only scored fourteen points all

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: year and have been outscored by fifty seven points in

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: the third and fourth quarters, which is dead last by

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: a wide margin. So the second half has been really

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: good for the Colts. They have three game winning drives

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: already this year, led by Matt Ryan, who ranked sixth

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: all time in NFL history in game winning scores and

73
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: had won the other day against the Jaguars when he

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: hooked up with Alec Pierce down the sideline for a

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: thirty two yard touchdown with under thirty seconds to play.

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: And Matt Ryan today talked about what he's seen from

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce this early in his career making plays as

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: a rookie. Thought he was going to be, you know,

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: solid for us. I think he's probably exceeded, you know,

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: the expectation of you know, he's had a lot of

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: production and particularly latent games, you know, in critical situations,

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of production. And that's probably, you know,

83
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: been the thing that that maybe exceeds what I expected

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: from him. But you know, we're lucky to happen. That's

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on Alec Pierce, who ranks fifth in the

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: NFL and receiving yards already among rookies, and he's got

87
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: eighteen catches for two hundred and seventy one yards in

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: the last four games, including four catches over twenty five

89
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: on the season. On defense, Tennessee they've jumped all the

90
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: way up to number five in the NFL and stop

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: in the run. Remember they were very shaky in that

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: department early on in the season. They've allowed just eighty

93
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: one rushing yards in the last two games, including just

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: thirty eight to the Colts a few weeks back, which

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: was the lowest total the Titans have ever posted in

96
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: a game against the Colts. But Tennessee not very good,

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: in fact, dead last in the NFL and passing defense,

98
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: they've allowed at least three hundred yards and four or

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: five games this year. So what does that mean for

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the Colts? Will they come out and throw it like

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: they did against the Jaguars last week. Will they let

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan take over to the tune of three hundred

103
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: and eighty nine yards against Jacksonville. Frank Wright today talked

104
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: about the offensive identity and the play calling adjusting week

105
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to week based on the opponent for the Colts. Yeah,

106
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. We look at you know, we always

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: look at that, always evaluating, adapting, adjusting, you know, as

108
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: it's needed. As we've always said, it's really game to game.

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: We are still seeking to be a balanced football team.

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: We want to be a balanced football team. We think

111
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, what does that mean. It doesn't mean

112
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: fifty fifty right, I mean, what does it mean? Does

113
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: it mean the perfect balance every week? No, it doesn't

114
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: mean perfect. It means over the course of a season

115
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: you want to be You typically don't want to be

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: at the extreme end of one of those. We don't

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: want to be in the top five passing attempt teams,

118
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: don't want to be in the top five attempt you know.

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: I mean, So we want to be good in both.

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: We believe we have the personnelity be good in both.

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: So we're still trying to find our way a little

122
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: bit in the run game, and we got to try

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: to do in the meantime, we have to do what

124
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: we can do try to win games. That's Frank Reich

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440

00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: That was all the way back on September the eighteenth.

158
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: All right, that's promise. It's time down to hear from

159
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: rookie tight in Jelani Woods, who I talk to earlier

160
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: today inside the Colts locker room, and we chatted about

161
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: why the Colts have been so comfortable on offense in

162
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: the second half with the game on the line so

163
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: far this year. In crunch time, I would say it's

164
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: probably how we practice. You know, going into practice, everybody

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: got energy, everybody's you know, trying to be on top

166
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: of the game, and the uh you know, throughout practice

167
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: one fatigue kicking and everything kicks in. We still try

168
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: to keep that same momentum no matter what we're doing

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: and finishing out practice really well. And I feel like

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: that definitely helps us in the game because when they

171
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: get in time getting in gaming, you know, the kind

172
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: of get I wouldn't say it easier, but we know

173
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: what to do in those situations, and like we don't

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: let the outside you know, factors control how we think

175
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: or control how we move. And we still trying to

176
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: keep that foot like the foot on the pedal and

177
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: keeping pushing, you know, it's taking that next step and

178
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: getting better. So I would definitely say practice it would

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: be the main testament of that. How intense it's practice.

180
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: It's not too intense, but like you know, when it's

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: time to go, it's time to go, and then when

182
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: it's time to focus and mentally be prepared. We try

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: to focus and be mentally prepared and then like physicality

184
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: to whid like it's between the whistles, you get out

185
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: the it. Then when it's a break, it's a break.

186
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: But we try to like you know, turn the temple

187
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: up every time, like you know, East Rapid is. We

188
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: just try to turn that temple up. You know that

189
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: the passing game obviously on full display last Sunday against Jacksonville.

190
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: What did that philosophy and what did that game do

191
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: for the confidence of the offense? Know and you know

192
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: you could score points, but you did it in a

193
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: different way that proved a lot of people wrong in

194
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: terms of the past catching weapons that this team has.

195
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: It was just a testament of what we you know,

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: what we knew we can do pretty much eat the

197
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: past four weeks, five weeks, you know, just a little

198
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: things we had to take care of, the little dude

199
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: details and we kind of you know took we kind

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: of you know, honed in on that coming into the

201
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: week and then we I think we did pretty good

202
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: a seque those little details. So it's helped us out

203
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: which you know, shake the outcome that they did that

204
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: they did have, but that was pretty much like the

205
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: main thing was just take care of those little details.

206
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: So we knew what we can We knew what we

207
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: have and we know what we can do. It's just

208
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, executing pretty much. Take me to the touchdown?

209
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: What you see on that play and how good are

210
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: the feel to get another fourth quarter red zone touchdown? Uh,

211
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: it's just you know, it came out in man. Um.

212
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: It kind of didn't do that the whole game pretty much,

213
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: and then kind of just switched and came out in

214
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: man and typically on that the concept that we run

215
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: that we ran, you know, we had a little man

216
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: beat or wheel route or whatever. So I kind of

217
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: knew that going in my head, I knew I could

218
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: possibly get this. I was just trying to win my route. Um,

219
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, but also be patient, give Matt time to

220
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: be able to you know, read the concept and you know,

221
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: just make a play on the ball if it's in

222
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: the air. Why is this not too big for you?

223
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean you're a rookie with three touchdowns and you're

224
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: in complete control out there. Why are you so smooth?

225
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: Just as I say, probably practice the way we practice. Uh,

226
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, it just we we wrapped stuff over and

227
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: over and me practice. I treat practice like games, so

228
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: I try to you know, just stay mellow and stay smooth. Uh,

229
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: don't get too how I don't get too low. Uh

230
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: and just you know, do what I do, what we

231
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: do in practice. And we ran that concept and practice

232
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: a couple of times, you know, wrapped it. Uh and

233
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, just made a play on it. What's it

234
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: like bonding over the guys that are stepping up yourself,

235
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. I mean there's a lot of rookie contributors

236
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: on this team. How nice is it to see the

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: work that you guys are putting in a short amount

238
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: of times really paying off? Definitely just say, uh, you

239
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: know it's great to see. But you know, you just

240
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: try to grow pretty much grow get it just to

241
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: his league, Uh, you know, take a step step at

242
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: a time, and you know, just trying to earn like

243
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: that trust within your team and then the trust you

244
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: know the coaches want to put on you. So and

245
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: then get the opportunity and keep it going pretty much.

246
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: You know what this game means. I mean Tennessee represents,

247
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, a hurdle for this team, right having one

248
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: the AFC South back to back ears they've beaten the

249
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Colts four straight times. Have you guys had open dialogue

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: about how important this game is? Of course, but you

251
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: know you don't want to make it no bigger than

252
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: it is. But we do know that it is a

253
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: big game, and that's kind of you know, we're gonna

254
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: go into it, you know, attacking all try to attack

255
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: on all cylinders and you know, get this win because

256
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: you know it's we know it's important, but you also

257
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: don't want to make it too high that you start,

258
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, breaking up, breaking yourself down too much. That's

259
