I'm Matt Taylor coming to you 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: inside the event center here at Grand Park on a 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 2: Saturday evening. Colts Camp brought to you by course and 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: fire and security. Weather in the area moved everything, unfortunately 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 2: from outside to inside. 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: JJ was supposed to be a sold. 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: Out crowd here at Grand Park. That means seven thousand strong. 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: We're supposed to come out and watch this Colts team 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: under the not under the lights, but in the Indiana 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: twilight as the sun was going down. But rain and 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: just some nasty weather forced everything inside. But the Colts 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: still got some good work in this evening six to 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: seven thirty. Some of the highlights from camp tonight, some 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: of the things I jotted down. Anyways, we saw the 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: debut of Juju Brintce at corner. He practiced for the 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: first time in a Colts uniform. We'll talk about that. 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: Moley Cox held out tonight. He had a foot or 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: a boot, I should say, on his right foot. Will 21 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 2: Mallory did not go tonight, nor did Kenny Moore. Jelanie 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: Woods real quick. 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: Will Mallory hamstring, Kennymore ankle you Shane steikin there you go. 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: Checkwartz Buckner foot by the way. 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah he missed. Yeah, he'd missed some time. I practice. 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: The last session for the Colts on Thursday, Shaq Leonard 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: participated in some eleven on eleven work in full pads 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: for the first time in camp. Gardner Minshew took the 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: first team reps with the offense. Colts tonight worked on 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: some end of game no huddle situations, quarterbacks calling the 31 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: play at the line of scrimmage. And then we also 32 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: had the debuts of some of the Colts new signings. 33 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: Some roster moves. We'll talk about that. It's been a 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: flurry of roster moves for this team in the last 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. But JJ, camp wise tonight, where did 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: your eyeballs go? First and foremost this evening. 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: It was a really solid day for Anthony Richardson. Didn't 38 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: see a lot of balls on the ground when he 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: was at quarterback again. He took all the second team 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: reps today but looked pretty crisp. The Colts simultaneous eleven 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: on eleven sessions going on on each field here in 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: the indoor on the other I was watching Gardner Minshew 43 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: at the first team offense. But mccalleague gravenmore here with 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: Colts dot Com, she was over watching the other field 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 3: and she came back with a glowing report. Pretty good 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: that he did. Yeah, you saw it over there to 47 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: Matt Yeah, you know, you know, some deep balls, some 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: really good completions over there. Just crisp, clean stuff. And 49 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: it's what you like to see. Because it was a 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: little uneven on Thursday, but for him to come back 51 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: and to have the day that he did, you know, 52 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: that just kind of shows the growth that he's going 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: through out here where you know, yeah, everyone knows there 54 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: are going to be some up you know, some days 55 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: that are not as good as you want, some bad days, 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: some down days, some days where you throw a pick 57 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 3: and he you know, it maybe doesn't look as good 58 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 3: as you want it to. It's all about how you respond. 59 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: And for Anthony Richardson to come out and respond the 60 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: way he did today very very encouraging for where this 61 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 3: his development is going. 62 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: And that could have, you know, not sat well with him, exactly, 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: Use it's a long time when you want to rebound 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: and regroup, exactly. Had about forty eight hours to think 65 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: about trying to get better, and that's exactly what he 66 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: did tonight, as you said, primarily running with the second 67 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: team offense. All right, let's double back, let's talk about 68 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: all these moves, all right. So today the Colts signed 69 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: free agent running back Kenyon Drake. They placed wide receiver 70 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: Ethan Fernia on the injured reserve list. That means his 71 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: season is over. The Colts also signed free agent tight ends, 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: a pair of them, Nick Eubanks and also Michael Jacobson. 73 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: The hardcore Colts fans will remember Jacobson's name. He's been 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: with the Colts the last couple of years on their 75 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: practice squad. The team also placed tackled Jake Witt on 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: injured reserve today and waved running back Toreano Clinton. 77 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: He was the young man out of Undy. 78 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: So that means the Colts have two draft picks on 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: ir you go back to the spring, Daniel Scott, the 80 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: safety out of He tore his ACL in the spring, 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: So that means, unfortunately, two draft picks are going to 82 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: miss the season here in their rookie campaigns. But with 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: the signing of Drake, what are we to make of that? 84 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: With him coming in because he's an established player. I mean, 85 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: he's a very good player, I believe going into his 86 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: eighth season last year was in Baltimore. He's been a 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: feature back in the NFL. What are we to make 88 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: of the running back depth now with Zach Moss, with 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: the broken arm, Jonathan Taylor still on pup, what's what 90 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: here right now at running back? 91 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: I think this is probably more Zach Moss insurance. You know, 92 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: when you bring in a player like Kenyan Drake who 93 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: last year he had you know, he's with Baltimore, played 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: in twelve games there. Yeah, you know, he's not coming 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: in to replay and he's not coming in to be, 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 3: you know, like Jonathan Taylor's replacement. Like I think that's 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: kind of what you know, some people may have thought. 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: I kind of saw some chatter on that. I don't 99 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: think that's what the cults are doing here. But he's 100 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: a guy who's a veteran. Is his eighth year in 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: the NFL, and he was really interesting talking to him 102 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 3: during his press conference and just listening to what he 103 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: was talking about with This has been an interesting journey 104 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: for him. This is kind of the first time in 105 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: his career that he hasn't had a job going into 106 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: training camp. Yeah, and you know, he mentioned like, look, 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: I've made a decent amount of money in my career. 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: I don't need to keep doing this, but I want 109 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: to keep doing this. And you know that's how these 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: guys like a Kenyan Drake, he stays in shape, is 111 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: ready to get back out there when the opportunity arises. 112 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: That's how they take advantage of that opportunity. But you 113 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 3: could tell his head to swimming a little bit. He said, 114 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: they literally at this time yesterday, I was on a 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: plane and I got out there, put the pads on. 116 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: His first rep was a live contact rep, and he's 117 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: just like, ah, you know, so you know, kind of 118 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 3: a baptism by fire here in Indianapolis. But you know, 119 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: guy who you can kind of see the veteran presence 120 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 3: that he can bring to that room being beneficial for 121 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: guys like Evan Hall and Dion Jackson, who the cole 122 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: taverlied on quite a bit and will continue to rely on, 123 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: you know, throughout training camp here while Jonathan Taylor is 124 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: on pup and Zach Moss is dealing with the broken arms. 125 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: So you know, bringing in a guy like him, you know, 126 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: it makes sense why you would do it, and you 127 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: can see, you know, the kind of impact he can 128 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 3: make just this kind of you know, words of wisdom 129 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: in that room, in addition to still being a pretty 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: good player in the NFL. 131 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: By the way, coming up in just a bit here 132 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: on this Colt's Camp daily, Dallas Flowers is going to 133 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: join us. We'll talk about what he's been able to 134 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: accomplish so far in camp. Juju Brint's practicing tonight for 135 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: the first time. We'll talk about the cornerback depth in 136 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: just a second, but I want to stay on offense. 137 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: The offensive line has played together, The starting unit has 138 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: played together every rep of this camp to this point. 139 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: We're a really really good sign there. You got Quentin 140 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: Nelson at left guard, You've got Bernard Ryman at left tackle, 141 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: of course, Ryan Kelly at center. You've got Will Fryes 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: at right guard, and the right tackle has been Braden Smith. 143 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: How do you see the offensive line performing so far 144 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 2: in camp with all of that consistency, all of that 145 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: continuity and knock on Wood, all of that health after 146 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: what happened to him last year. 147 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: I think that's really encouraging to you know, you want 148 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: to get as many reps with the same five together 149 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: as you can at this point in the year to 150 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: kind of develop that camaraderie and that trust that's so 151 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: important to an offensive line and you know, to have 152 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: those guys and to have you know, especially at right guard, 153 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: where Will Fries is kind of you know, he's going 154 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: to get pushed by some guys, but he has not 155 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: given an inch on that. You know, He's competed and 156 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 3: had a good camp. I think Bernard Ryman looks pretty 157 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: good out there from what I've seen, you know, today, 158 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: I was just kind of watching a little bit on 159 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: the interior. Quentin Nelson, Ryan Kelly had a really good 160 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: combo block together. You know, that's something we got used 161 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: to seeing over the years. Just little things you know 162 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: that you like to see out there. Good to see, 163 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: you know, but that continuity, I think is really important 164 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: for those guys to be able to practice together and 165 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: you know, really develop. You know, we got what a 166 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: month and six days, five days before the season starts. 167 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: Just sounds crazy, but hey, just keep getting those reps. 168 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: That's not that long, but man, that seems like a 169 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: long time. 170 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: It's both a long time and not a long time. 171 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: At all. 172 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: But it's really good to see those guys together with 173 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: Tony Sparano coaching them up. 174 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: And they're also getting a lot of reps with both 175 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson. So I think time 176 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: on task with those five guys, but also getting to 177 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: know the subtleties between those two different gunslingers, the veteran 178 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: and then of course the rookie. 179 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: All right, Juju Brintz was back tonight. How did he 180 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: look to you? 181 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: So he got a lot of reps with the second 182 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: and third team defense. Just good to see him out 183 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: there moving around. Didn't notice anything you know, bad, you know, 184 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: or any restrictions, So that looked good. Small sample size, right, 185 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: you know, first practice, you know he was out there. 186 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: Darius Rush has been back out there the last couple 187 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: of days now, so the Colts getting a little healthier 188 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: at cornerback. But Dallas Flowers and Darryl Baker junior, you know, 189 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 3: still the kind of with that first team defense. Those 190 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: are guys who I don't you know, they haven't done 191 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 3: anything that would lend it to them not getting those reps. 192 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: I mean, if the Cults are playing a game tomorrow. 193 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: I think that looks, I mean, and you know, fortunately 194 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 3: not because you know, Brentson and Rush still have a 195 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: lot of time that they can get better and get 196 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 3: ready for this season. But right now, you know, those 197 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 3: those two guys, Flowers and Bakers seem to be the guys. 198 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: In Baker especially, You've really noticed him out there. He's physical, 199 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: he's long, He's made some plays on the ball. He 200 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: had a pick in Thursday's practice.

And then Dallas Flowers, 203 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: the guy who's got incredible speed. The Colts really liked 204 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 3: some of the things he did last year, a favorite 205 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: of Stefan Gilmour's a guy who Gilly thought was a 206 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: really talented cornerback last year, even when he wasn't getting 207 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: an opportunity to play. So while the Colts are young 208 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: at corners, definitely some talent there. 209 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he came on strong towards the end of 210 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: last year, played cornerback in the secondary the last four 211 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: games of the season.

When did you start focusing on 432 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: or when did it become clear to you that your 433 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 2: path to being a professional athlete was more so the 434 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 2: NFL than in basketball. 435 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 6: I had who dreams all my life.

That's 496 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: the biggest thing is that he just feels at home 497 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: mindset going into his second year, now that he is 498 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: established to a certain degree, and he also knows that 499 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: barring something really freakish going on, he's he's got a 500 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: roster spot on the step. 501 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: I think that's you know, he's never been a guy 502 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: that's who's lacked for confidence. 503 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. 504 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 3: You know, Ron Miles even talked about it last week 505 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 3: when we caught up with him, and he was just 506 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 3: sort of like, you know, last year even it to 507 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 3: kind of be like, man, this's a rookie's really talking 508 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 3: a lot in my room. But you know that, But 509 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: that's good. You want your corners to be like that. 510 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: Right, and rather have it that way than the other way. Yeah. 511 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: I think there's a difference between, you know, feeling confident 512 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: and feeling comfortable, And I think We're now seeing Dallas 513 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 3: Flowers have both of the both of them, and you know, 514 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 3: like you said, Matt, I think it's a really good 515 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 3: point that he's not fighting for a roster spot. Yeah, 516 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 3: you know, in that way, he's fighting for a starting job. 517 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: And you know that's that's brings a different mindset then. 518 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: Just like I'm going to do whatever I can to 519 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 3: claw my way under this roster as an undrafted free agent, 520 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: it's now I'm going to do whatever I can to 521 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: cement myself as a starter in the NFL at cornerback position. 522 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: I think I deserve, you know, to have, and I 523 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: think I'm good enough to have. 524 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: All Right, wrapping up here, the Colts will practice again tomorrow. 525 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: If you're listening to this on Saturday night, just wrapped 526 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: up Sunday's practice tomorrow in the afternoon. It's the only 527 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 2: afternoon practice of camp for the Indianapolis Colts. Is going 528 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: to be another full padded practice sessions kind of a 529 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: longer one two to three forty five coming up on Sunday. 530 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: So with that in mind, JJ, what are you going 531 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: to be focusing on as the Colts wrap up the 532 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: weekend and then have an off day on Monday. 533 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: Well, now that we've seen Anthony Richardson have a good 534 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 3: day out here, can he do it again? You know, 535 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: let's see how he responds to having a really good day. 536 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: Was tonight his best night, best day? 537 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: I think it's up there. Yeah, you know the other 538 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: one we had indoors, you know last week. 539 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's good because the Colts play all their games inside. Yeah, 540 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: some of them not pretty good. Yeah, not all of them. 541 00:22:59,200 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: Some of them. 542 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 3: No, it's pretty good. Another guy I'm looking for I 543 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 3: wrote his name down a couple of times today was 544 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: Nick Cross. I thought he had a pretty impactful practice. 545 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: Noted him on you know, both in coverage on some pressures. Uh. 546 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 3: He's a guy who you know, you don't want to 547 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: count him out. Well, Julian Blackman's been dealing with his hamstring, 548 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 3: he's been getting those those starting reps at strong safety, 549 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: and you know, even he going back to what Gus 550 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: Bradley said about him in the spring that you know 551 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: last year, you know, they kind of needed him to 552 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: focus and they needed him to you know, really take 553 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: on a lot of the communication, which was difficult for 554 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: him being a rookie. But now he it's that different again. 555 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 3: Between you know, confidence and comfortable and now maybe he's 556 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 3: got both of those. Yeah, you can definitely see it, right, 557 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, at the very least, these are really valuable 558 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: reps for him, even if Julian Blackman comes back and 559 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 3: he's you know, goes back into being the starter there, right, 560 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: you know, for Nick Cross to get these reps where, Look, 561 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: that gives you a lot of versatility at safety because 562 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: Blackman is a versatile player. So if something were to 563 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 3: happened to Ronnie Thomas, you slide Julian to free safety. 564 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: You're fine putting a Crossing at strong safety. It's like 565 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: having three starters, right, No, and that's really good. Uh, 566 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 3: that's really good to have. And just you know, I 567 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: think he's had what has seemed like a pretty solid 568 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 3: camp so far. 569 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can definitely tell where number twenty is on 570 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: the field on defense. All right, it's a short turnaround, 571 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: like we said, the cultural practice tomorrow afternoon two to 572 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: three forty five, and I think it's a sellout. 573 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: I think it's graduated to a sellout tomorrow. 574 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 2: So unfortunately, if you don't already have your tickets for tomorrow, 575 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: we hope to see. 576 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: You next week. 577 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: Next week, the Cultural Practice on Tuesday and Thursday.
