I'm Matt Taylor, with you until seven 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. And on tonight's show, we're talking about the 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: Colts win last Thursday. Seems like a long time ago, 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: but the Colts were victorious last time out against the Broncos. 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: And we'll also talk big picture on the season now 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: that the Colts are five games in, basically a quarter 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: of the way through a seventeen game regular season schedule. 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: So the Colts are now two two and one after 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: that twelve to nine overtime all field goals win over 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: the Broncos on Thursday Night Football, it was the first 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: NFL game this season without at least one touchdown of 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: any kind, and according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: seven field goals were an NFL record in a game 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: in which both teams scored only by field goals. So 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: the game was also the twelfth in Colts history when 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: they won without a touchdown. The most recent occurrence before 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: Thursday came in the two thousand and six playoffs for 27 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: the Colts and route to their Super Bowl championship. It 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: was a fifteen to six win over the Baltimore Ravens 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: in the AFC Divisional Round. We all know how ugly 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: of a game. It was zero touchdown, seven field goals, 31 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: twelve punts over six efficiency inside the red zone by 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: both teams, six for thirty two on conversions on third 33 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: and fourth down, six fumbles, four picks, ten sacks. But 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the Colts won a grinder of a game and they 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: currently sit in second place in the AFC South heading 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: into Week six. That's because the Jaguars lost at home 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: to the Techs on Sunday, so every team of the 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: AFC South now has a win, and the Titans were 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: victorious for the third straight week. They beat the Commanders, 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: giving them sole possession of first place in the division 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: after five games. Coming up, we'll recap the game in 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the first five weeks of the season and more depth 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: with Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights. They'll join me starting 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: on the next segment, and we're taking your questions later 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: in the show, as we always do. If you have 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: a question or thought on the Colts twitted in tonight 47 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: using hashtag Colts Roundtable and we'll start to use those 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: questions now as the head coach of the Colts, Frank Reich, 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: is here with us on segment number one, brought to 50 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: you by Citizens Energy Group. Coach, have had the weekend 51 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: to think about the game from last Thursday night. Very 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: big win for the Colts. But how is that game 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: resonated with you four days later as we sit here 54 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: and talk now, Yeah, it still resonates. Well, anytime you 55 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: can get a win, and you know, really love the 56 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: way the defense is playing special teams, you know, offensively, 57 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't like a productive or good outing. It 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: was a poor outing, but we did make the plays. 59 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: Knee you know, I have to keep reminding myself we 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: played good enough to win in all three phases. So 61 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: but you know, we you know, and we know that 62 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: the improvements that need to come need to come on 63 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: the offensive side, and primarily, you know, we got to 64 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: get that ball in the end zone. Looking back on 65 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: it a little bit, how tough was it to play 66 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday night? It's it's a short week, plus you travel, 67 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, two thirds away across the country. You were 68 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: banged up. They were banged up. Was that a big 69 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: reason why the game looked a little bit uneven on 70 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: both sidelines in that game? I don't know. As a coach, 71 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: you never want to look for an excuse like that. 72 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean, short week, It doesn't matter if you're banged 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: up or night. You got to find a way to 74 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: play winning football. And so I think that's the way 75 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: most coaches look at it, no doubt about that. All right. 76 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: You decided to make a lot of changes on the 77 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: offensive line going into that game. You know it's been 78 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: well chronicled. Change it left tackle, change a right guard. 79 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: You know, you had to make a change at center 80 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: because Ryan Kelly got banged up. What went into those 81 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: decisions going into the game, You know, how do we 82 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: get the best five on the field and looking for 83 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: a spark and you know when we put Brandon down 84 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: at right guard. You know, Brandon is such a powerhouse 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: in the run game. Um, he's like an A plus 86 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: run blocker. So you thought, hey, we get you know, 87 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: there's three guys inside. You know, might be it might 88 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: provide a spark in the run game. It's also going 89 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: to firm the pocket up in the middle. Um, you know, 90 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: you got to give a little extra help to the tackles. 91 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: But um, you know felt like prior at right tackle 92 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: was a natural position for him, So I thought we 93 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: could thought that was the right right move. It's I 94 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: know it's a short sample size, but but wasn't enough 95 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: to get a good sense of how that went, how 96 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: that combination looks going forward. Yeah, I think we learned 97 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: some things, you know, and we'll have to evaluate it 98 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: here as the week goes on. Here the next day 99 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: or two, do we want to leave it as is 100 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: and build on it that that would be nice, you know, 101 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: because you want to build the continuity, or do we 102 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: need to look at another change so or tweak. Um, 103 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: So we'll evaluate that here. Yeah, you brought up the defense. Um, 104 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: it's just responded so well in the second halves of 105 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: these games. Here lately, you've allowed just six points in 106 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: the second half of the last three games combine. How 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: how proud are you of the defense here as we 108 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: reach you know, game five or a quarter of the 109 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: season in Yeah, that's good football. And you know, a 110 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: real credit to the players, a real credit to Gus 111 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and the staff, you know, for you know, just putting 112 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: together plans and being able to make whatever adjustments needed, 113 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: and you know, you know, Gus and the play calling 114 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: of it, you know, in the second half and getting 115 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: a feel for the flow of the game. And then 116 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: obviously the players. It's all about the players making the 117 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: plays and they're doing a great job. All right, Last 118 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: one for me, and this is again going back to Thursday. 119 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: It's a short week, two games in five days. You 120 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: basically play nine quarters of football in a five day stretch. There, 121 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: how much did the guys need this weekend off to 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: sort of refresh? But then also, you know, recognize that 123 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: it's only going into week six, but you factoring training 124 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: camp in the preseason, it's already been a grind to 125 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: this point here in the season. No, it has, but 126 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: it was a good timing. You know. We like when 127 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: you look at this at the beginning of the year, 128 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: you say, hey, this is a little mini by Yeah, 129 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: especially like you said, Matt, we you know, play an 130 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: overtime game. But I felt like the guys walk back 131 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: in the building this week are refreshed and ready to go. 132 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the fan questions. If you 133 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: have a question for head coach Frank Reich, you can 134 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: always tweet it in using hashtag Holts round table here 135 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: tonight in every Monday night, let's go to Phil coach. 136 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: He's asking what are the underlying issues of our offensive line? 137 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: We talked about that a little bit already, but he's 138 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: also asking, are any of the sacks attributed to the 139 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in terms of recognition at the line of scrimmage 140 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: or blitz pick up or things like that. Well, I 141 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing that they're attributed to is, you know, 142 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: we gotta I keep saying this, but it's the truth 143 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: is we're behind the sticks all the time, so second, 144 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: a long, third and long, so we got to do 145 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: a better job there as far as who they're attributed to. 146 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Like most teams, you know, when when you have a 147 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: number of sex, it's it takes it's everybody. So I 148 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: believe we're. I believe we're gonna get it turned around. 149 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: I believe we're you know, we gotta, But that's gonna 150 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: start with us finding better rhythm on first and second down, 151 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: all right. Fred is up next. Based on what we 152 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: saw in Denver, is our defense close to being dominant 153 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: and suffocating? I mean I think it already is. Yeah, 154 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean we're it's close, but you're never there, right. 155 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we have a saying around in 156 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: here said you got it, No, you don't have it. 157 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Because just when you think 158 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: you got it, you don't have it. Right, We've all 159 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: experienced that. So the defense is playing very well. We 160 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: need to continue to improve. Kyle is up next for 161 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: coach Reich. Is Chase McLoughlin's Denver performance repeatable? Can he 162 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: be that consistent the rest of the season. That's what 163 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: we're hopeful. I mean, you know, I mean he's really 164 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: looked good chases and in particulars he's always I would 165 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: say Chase's strength even when you go back to when 166 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: he was here before and the kind of kicking competitions, 167 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: he has a really good knack on the longer field 168 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: goals it's kind of crazy. I mean, he just has 169 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence and has good execution on those, 170 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: so yeah, great by him. He's eleven for thirteen over 171 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: fifty for his career, including three for four this year. 172 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: All right, pat is up? Next are the next two 173 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: games must win games for the Colts. I know how 174 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: you love those must win games. But considering we're winless 175 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: in the division so far and the AFC South looks 176 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: to be, in his words, schizophrenic on a week to 177 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: week basis, I mean we don't like to we know 178 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: every Okay, you either got to say one or two things, right, 179 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: You either got to say every win is a must 180 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: win game. I mean every game is a must win 181 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: game or or you know, or this week to week 182 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: or like my old coach Marv Levy used to say, 183 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the only must win was World WARLD w W two 184 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: w W two. So somewhere in the middle, right, yeah, Hey, 185 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: we recognize that how important this game is. We recognize 186 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: where we are in a division, we recognize what our 187 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: record is in our division. So nothing more needs to 188 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: be said. It's a big game. Good answer, all right, 189 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: last one from Tanner and this is a good one 190 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: to wrap up. On because Jacksonville is next, is asking 191 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: where did Jacksonville beat us the most three weeks ago 192 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: and how have we shored those areas up going into 193 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: the game. They stopped our run game, They put good 194 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: pressure on us, you know when we threw it and 195 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: when they were on offense, they dunked and dunked us 196 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: all the way up and down the field. So and 197 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: they didn't the one thing we did probably well on 198 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: defense versus and we played the run fairly well. So yeah, 199 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot to improve on from that first outing, 200 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: and I believe we'll play by her, no doubt about that. 201 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: That's Coach Frank Reich on Colts Roundtable Live tonight.

Man, 233 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: Good to talk to you again. It was great. It 234 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: was nice to get a little mini buy. I think 235 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: for everybody. I always enjoyed that as a player, and 236 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: I think for you and coach especially, kind of reset 237 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: and now you get to go on a stretch run 238 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: here until the actual real by. But it was good. 239 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: Got to enjoy some college football and some third grade 240 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: our Lady Mount Carmel football. The Raiders rolled to five 241 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: and zero, which was great accomplishment. So yeah, life is 242 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: good here, brother, no doubt about it. All right. We 243 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: normally Rick start off with a segment called Tale of 244 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: the Tape. It's look back at the latest game. But 245 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: with the Colts playing last Thursday, and you know, a 246 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: lot has transpired between then and now, everybody kind of 247 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: knows the gist of the game, sort of that first 248 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: quarter of the season as well, where five games in 249 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: the Denver win lumped in there. Twelve to nine overtime 250 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: win for the Colts last Thursday, night, Give me the good, 251 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: give me the bat on this team through a quarter 252 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: of the season on your Tale of the Tape, Rick, Yeah, 253 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: my book really at this point had two chapters, and 254 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: I think it was really enhanced by Thursday Night. First 255 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: of all, you know, I really the first chapter is 256 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm really elated with the win and that we fought 257 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: back to two two and one. I'm very elated about that. 258 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: The way we started the season, I think Joe's done it. 259 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: I have never done it. I have never done a 260 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: Thursday night on the road. My god, is that difficult. 261 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: That is really a chore. And so when you come 262 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: out alive on that Thursday night and you get that win, 263 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: it's really huge and really kind of defined the first 264 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: five weeks. I think again it was defined in the 265 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: game itself in that I'm elated at you know, the 266 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: way the defense is capable of playing. I mean, you know, 267 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: obviously hold a team no touchdowns, two for twelve on 268 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: third down, and the biggest stat of all is oh 269 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: for four in the red zone, having to give up 270 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: a point in a fourth quarter or the overtime. I mean, 271 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: these are great sign for our defense. Special teams again 272 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: are special obviously the kicking game. You know, we get 273 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: two guys in midstream, McLoughlin and Hocke. They play outstanding. Uh, 274 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, obviously, what can you say about mac uh, 275 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, scoring all our points spent. Hocke has kicked 276 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: really well, and we've really really gone down and covered 277 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: covered Washington, who's a great player. You know, Stu had 278 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: the big block of the field goals. So you know 279 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,479 Speaker 1: those two things. My chapter one is I'm really elated 280 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: and I really believe you can play, you know, top 281 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: tier football. I have to say though, that chapter two 282 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: is really I just the way we're playing with the 283 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: putrid statistics. Now. I know there are some there are 284 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: some positives because we've got some young kids coming on. 285 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Ryan does play good in the fourth quarter. I mean, 286 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: there are a few things to hang your hat on, 287 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: but overall, you know, it's records setting, negative performing sacks, fumbles, 288 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: interceptions thirteen eight, lack of scoring um you know, minus six, 289 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: and turnover ratios those seat. Winning that way is not sustainable. 290 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: You're not going to play the Denvers, who you know 291 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: aren't very good on offense and had the worst you know, 292 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: game management. I think I've seen this season in that 293 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: ball game. And so you know, until we get that 294 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: short up and we're going to talk about our our 295 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: conferences later, but until we get that short up, that 296 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: winning that this way is not sustainable. Yeah, And to 297 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: piggyback off, Coach, I do agree, those Thursday night games 298 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: are really hard, and coach, your point about a road 299 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Thursday night game is even harder. You know. One of 300 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: the things I was most proud of in our tenure. 301 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: We won four straight division road games from two thousand 302 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: and twelve to two fifteen on Thursday night, right, And 303 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: those are just hard to get up for. The home 304 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: team has a huge advantage, so credit to our guys. 305 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: They go to overtime in the altitude. But I felt 306 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: like we were the for team mentally down the stretch, 307 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: which is a huge positive. But to your point, Coach, 308 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: when I look at our season overall through the first 309 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: five games, the word I would say is upside down. 310 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, on paper, we were underdogs in two games, 311 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, per Vegas, Denver and the Chiefs. We beat 312 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: both of them. We were favorites in two games you know, 313 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee and Jackson Will lost both those. In the game 314 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: we were the biggest favorite and we tied Week one 315 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: down in Houston. So the fact you're two two and one, 316 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: I think it's good you fought back to even. I 317 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: do think that these next couple of games, these division games, 318 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: are huge. But to coaches point, when you think about 319 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts historically, what do you think about the 320 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: offense putting up numbers in the defense just trying to 321 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: keep them under twenty four to thirty to do it, 322 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: It's almost like things have been flipped here. I feel 323 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: like we really played championship level defense against Kansas City. 324 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: We got out to a rough start against Tennessee, but 325 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: we gave him two very short fields, and I mean 326 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: to hold the Broncos to nine points in overtime and 327 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: extra possession. Russell Wilson, I know he's struggling. We're playing 328 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: some really, really high level defense, and I think special 329 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: teams have stabilized. Credit to Abuba, Ventrone, new kicker, new punter, 330 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: completely new operation, and they're back to playing at a 331 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: high level. But offensively, we gotta get going and I 332 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: think there's potential there. To Coach's point, we got some 333 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: guys coming. We won that game without Taylor. I thought 334 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: there were some better rush lanes against Denver, there were 335 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: some more opportunities. They think Taylor might have been able 336 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: to break one or two of those that the other 337 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: guys didn't. But it all comes down to protection, turning 338 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: the ball over, protecting the ball. And I think to me, 339 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, the play calling in terms of Matt Ryan 340 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: seems to do best with his urgency, you know, And 341 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if we won't see some more maybe no 342 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: huddle two minute type stuff from him, because it seems 343 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: like that's where he's really thrived so far through these 344 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: first five games. All right, that's Joe Wright, s Rick 345 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: Vin Terry along as well. Hey, the Colts had a 346 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: couple of takeaways last Thursday night. They had two picks, 347 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: one by Rodney Thomas and the other by Stefan Gilmour. 348 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: That means Colts fans can score free appetizer tonight at 349 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: b Dubs through this winds Day at participating Indianapolis location. 350 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: See Colts dot com slash BWW for details.

What 356 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: would your teachers say at the parent teacher meeting about 357 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: the Colts after five games or in this case you've 358 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: got coaches and players in the conference there after five 359 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: weeks with the progress reports.

The show tonight's also brought to you 369 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: by Meyer, the official supercenter of the Colts and proud 370 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: sponsor of hundreds of local sports teams across the Midwest. 371 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor, Joe Wrights, and Rick Venturi, the former 372 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: Colts are along with you until seven o'clock tonight, and 373 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: fellas I sat down last night and was trying to 374 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 1: think about how we can talk about this season, how 375 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: we can frame it up after five weeks. And I 376 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I think being married to a schoolteacher sort 377 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: of had this pop into my brain. So at this 378 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: point in every school year, you've got parent teacher conferences. 379 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: Usually it was come in October, about halfway through that 380 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: first semester. So the Colts are five weeks into the season, Rick, 381 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: and progress reports are due. What would the parent teacher 382 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: or in this case, the coach player conference sound like 383 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: in these following areas? And you talked about the offense 384 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: through five games thirteen point eight points per game. Dead last, 385 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: they failed to score at least twenty points in seven 386 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: straight games dating back to last year. Last Thursday, Week 387 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: five marked the second time this season the Colts failed 388 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: to score a touchdown in a game, and they only 389 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: have one rushing touchdown on the season, despite having Jonathan 390 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Taylor healthy for four of those five games. Rick, So 391 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: the Colts offense after five games, does what does the 392 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: parent teacher conference sound? How does the player coach conference sound? 393 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Here at the progress report time? Well, I think the 394 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 1: first thing I would do, as the teacher I'd bring 395 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: the whole offense in and I would send them to 396 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: the principal. But I would would I would start off 397 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: the conference with saying, because I do believe you always 398 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: have to have a positive ending, I'll have a positive 399 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: beginning there you go. You know, I do think that 400 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: we ran the ball. I think Joe made a good point. 401 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: We did open some lanes. And credit to those two kids, 402 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: Jackson and Lindsay, my god, they ran possessed and to 403 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: get one oh six against that team, you know, was 404 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: pretty good. So that's a little bit better. Our blitz 405 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: pick up the last two weeks is better. And we 406 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: do play in the fourth quarter. You know, the guy 407 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: does he can forget his negatives and so and then 408 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: we have emerging players. I mean, you saw Pierce. I 409 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: mean he I'm gonna date myself, but he did his best. 410 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Raymond Barry Sunday, we got emerging tight ends. Uh you know, 411 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: Campbell made people miss at the end, as did Grandson. 412 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean, those young kids are making players now. The 413 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: thing that I'm going to instruct him on here's here's 414 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: my ending, though, I want them to think about this. 415 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: First of all, we still have to figure out a 416 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: much better way to move it against double sinc. I 417 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: feel like our staff is a year behind. This is 418 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: the defense I did. I did the Carmel Grinder game, 419 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: sixth grade game Saturday night, and the Carmel play double 420 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: sink the whole night. I mean, it's it's a defense 421 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: that everybody is playing. It's the two thousand and twenty 422 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: two team, and we still we We dnited a little 423 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: bit with direct runs, but we got to figure out 424 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: how to gap block and get off tackle, how to 425 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: lead up in there. Like I said, I feel like 426 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: we're a year behind, and if we don't get the 427 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: running game going, we're going to have more of the same. 428 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: I think we have to make up our mind on 429 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I'm pretty good with what we did 430 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: with the exception I would have had Prior at right guard. 431 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: There is nothing in this world that tells us Prior 432 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: can play on the edge. He's just not a good 433 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: enough athlete. But he's a grinder. So you leave Braden 434 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: out there, go with the young kid, but help him. 435 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: With Braden at right tackle, you don't have to help 436 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: both tackles, so you got to help him. That's a 437 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: huge mistake. You can't go into a game with the 438 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: rookie in the venue that you play in against the 439 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: great edge guys, and you're going to get him every 440 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: week and not help him consistently, not every once in 441 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: a while. And then you know, once you settle on 442 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: this unit, you have to stay with it because Joe 443 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: can tell you better than anybody picking up stunts and 444 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: things like that. Is it's a feel for one another. 445 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we missed the text game late in the game, 446 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: but you know, Braden and prior haven't really played together, 447 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: so you have to. You have to get it together. 448 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: Their work at play it together again. Help we're needed 449 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: in protection. And I think you take the gloves off. Honestly, 450 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: I don't think you know. We got all pros playing 451 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: like Walmart parking lot guys. I mean, and I'd let 452 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: them know it. I would challenge him. I'm tired. Take 453 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: the gloves off. Take the gloves off. With the quarterback, Yes, 454 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: he plays good in the fourth quarter, but he turns 455 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: the ball over like a slot machine. He coughs it 456 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: up like a slot machine, whether it's interceptions or fumbles. 457 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: And really, if we're gonna win, if we're gonna make 458 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: a run, and Joe's exactly right. The season pivots on 459 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: the next two weeks, those things got to be cleaned up. Yeah, 460 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: I would agree. And for the parent teacher conference, and 461 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: I got some kids like this. You go into the conference, 462 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, a little I'm not gonna 463 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: use my kids names, right, little Bobby. It says, hey, 464 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: they got a lot of potential. Their focused some of 465 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: the time, but some of the time they're just out 466 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: and left field and they're not living up to their 467 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: full potential. That's how I feel like this Colt's offense 468 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: is again to coachin we got guys we have, you know, 469 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's a former NFL MVP. We got some emerging guys. 470 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I think if anybody's drafting and running back, 471 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: they're drafting him. But we haven't figured it out to yet. 472 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: And why is that? To me? The word that comes 473 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: to me as urgency, because when we need to, when 474 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: the chips are on the line, we played and we've 475 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: delivered in the fourth quarter. We delivered down in Houston, 476 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: you know with that twenty point fourth quarter. We delivered 477 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: against Denver when we needed a drive before half, before 478 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: the end of the game in overtime against Kansas City, 479 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: a game you had to have when your backs against 480 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: the wall. But why aren't we delivering from day one? 481 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: Why aren't we coming out from the snap? And to me, 482 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: that's an attitude, that's a mentality, that's an urgency that 483 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: guess what, We're gonna go out and kick your you 484 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: know what, We're not gonna wait till we get down fourteen. 485 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: And that's on the quarterback, that's on the offensive line 486 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: in those leaders Nelson, Kelly and Smith to lead that 487 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: charge and say hey, enough's enough, and we're coming out 488 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: and we're gonna punch first, and we're gonna punch again, 489 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep punching. And if we do that, 490 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: we can Jacksonville at home. Certainly, we can win down 491 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: in Tennessee where we've had success, and you can get 492 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: back and have control of this division. But eventually, if 493 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: you keep waiting and waiting like you do, it didn't 494 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: burn us against Denver, but it burned us against Tennessee, right, 495 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: And you can't you can't keep waiting because then you 496 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: have no margin. Freir. So to me, it's about we're 497 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: not fulfilling our full potential. Little Johnny Susie Bobby, and 498 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: it's because we need more urgency, we need more mental intensity, focus, 499 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. From day one and 500 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: then to coaches point two. I think you know, from 501 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: a play calling perspective, I wouldn't mind seeing no huddle, 502 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: two minute up tempo. You got a smart quarterback, he's 503 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: seen every defense. We got smart offensive linemen, you know, 504 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: by huddling every time and letting the defense set, you know, 505 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: sometimes when you can put them back on your heels. 506 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: I know historically teams I was on, I always liked 507 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: that two minute no huddle because an offensive line you 508 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: get that first or second first down. The D line's 509 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: tired and guess what, now, chub back there. He ain't 510 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: pinning his ears back with a minute rest in between 511 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: every snap. He doesn't have the same get go off 512 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: the snap because I tell you what, a lot of 513 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: teams are giving us five on five offensive rush right 514 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: one on one, and that's hard to do when they 515 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: have their ears pin back in Russian after him. So 516 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: how can we gain some advantages in a play calling perspective, 517 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: I'll be interested. I'm sure there's a lot of self 518 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: scout with as many buying the coaching staff. What do 519 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: we come out with against Jacksonville on Sunday. That's Joe 520 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: Wright's Rick Venturi along. I'm Matt Taylor. This is Colts 521 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: Roundtable Live tonight on ninety three five and one oh 522 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: seven five The fan worth the week five point heading 523 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: into week six mark of the NFL regular season. If 524 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: you have kids, this is your segment because you know 525 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: all about the parent teacher conferences. That's what we're going 526 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: through here, these hypothetical situations with the Colts. So Conference 527 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: number two stay right there. Joe Matt Ryan through five games, 528 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: he's been poll rising because he's led the Colts, you know, 529 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: within at least one score of the lead four times 530 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: in the final quarter. But he's also played a role 531 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: in allowing the Colts to fall behind in the first 532 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: three quarters. Last Thursday, you know, two clutch drives at 533 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: the end with some field goals, his forty fourth career 534 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: quarter or overtime comeback that's now tied for six most 535 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: in NFL history. But seven picks. He's fumbled eleven times. 536 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: That's the most buy a player through five games since 537 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: the NFL began tracking the stats. So Joe Matt Ryan's 538 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: overall play through five games. How does that conference sound 539 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: between the coaching staff and him? In this case, this 540 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: conference to me is one that's a direct one and 541 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: it's collaborative. It says, hey, I'm the teacher, but you're 542 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: the student. But you're a darn good student. You played 543 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: fifteen years in the NFL. What's gone right for you? 544 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: What do you like? What do we need to do better? 545 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: What do you need to do better? And just lay 546 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: it all out on the table, Because Matt Ryan's a 547 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: guy you know that's played at a high, high level. 548 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: But you're in a new city, you're in a new system, 549 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: and sometimes that's not as easy as you think just 550 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: to pick up right and leave something you did for 551 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: fifteen years, even though you're playing the same game. But 552 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: to me, you know, Ryan has performed when he's needed to. 553 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: But early in the games that slow start. To me, 554 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: something's got to change, and that's right to me. You know, 555 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: go no huddle, go two minute, try something different, right, 556 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: try to keep them off on their heels and do 557 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: something different with the quarterback. But to me, Matt Ryan 558 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: is too good of a quarterback to have eleven fumbles, 559 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: to take the sacks, especially some of the sacks to 560 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: take us out of field goal range to throw the interception. 561 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: I rewatched the tape several times at first interception that 562 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, that was just a bad play. We got 563 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: to take care of the football because bottom line, you 564 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: know the three stats I look at offensively, turnover we're 565 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: twenty eighth, minus six, third down we're twenty fourth, and 566 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: red zone we're twenty eighth. And to coaches point, you 567 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: can win some games here and there, but you can't 568 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: win long term sustainable with that production on offense. Yeah, 569 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the first thing I'm going to do, you know, the 570 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: parent teacher conference is I'm going to say, Maddie, let's 571 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: look at this thing from your strength and your weaknesses. Okay, 572 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: right now, your biggest strength is you do have that Maddie. 573 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: I still you can forget. You you have the ability 574 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: to forget the selective amnesia, and you tend to play 575 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: your very best in the in the fourth quarter, in 576 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: the overtime, despite not scoring a touchdown after doing nothing 577 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: all day, we did have two drives. Now they were 578 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: hard fought again and to remember against the terrific defense, 579 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: you had two very very good drives, but which you 580 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: played exceptionally well. I mean he had to throw out 581 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: of the tunnel. He had to make some throws our receivers. 582 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: I said, look at these young kids coming on. I mean, 583 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Pierce was terrific. Campbell made a guy, Miss Granson made 584 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: a guy, Miss Jackson made guys missed. I mean, there 585 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: were a lot of good plays that you're playing with. 586 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: But you know what it's like me being at Who's 587 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: your park? You know, shooting craps. Seven come eleven. Okay, 588 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: those are two numbers to remember that is that seven 589 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: interceptions most and a lot of them are on you. 590 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean the two Sunday really or Thursday night, we're 591 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: totally on him. And I'm gonna say, Matt, you gotta 592 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: quit looking it in. Two things are happened to him. 593 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: And I think you see this, Joe, he is really 594 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: looking the ball in. The two interceptions bys really were 595 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: because he's looking it in. And then a lot of 596 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: those knockdowns, a lot of those knockdowns you can't help. 597 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: But in many cases it's because the quarterback is looking 598 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: it in and the rusher stops and puts his hands up. 599 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: That's number one in terms of the interception. And then 600 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: this is so critical the eleven the eleven fumbles. I 601 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: think he's lost five, isn't it. It's yeah, yeah, yeah, 602 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: both of these are the eleven fumbles and the seven 603 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: picks are a record set. I mean, since they've had 604 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: the statistics. He cannot cought the ball up every time 605 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: he gets hit. I'm just I'm chewing him out on that. 606 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: You know, you can't when you got to know when 607 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: to fold him when that pockets collapsed and there's no 608 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,719 Speaker 1: place to go and there's no place to step secure 609 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: the football. It's coming out too easy all the time. 610 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: And my thing to him is, you know, take care 611 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: of the ball early. What's getting this into trouble is 612 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: a lot of these mishaps are happened early in the 613 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: game and even though you're playing well in the fourth quarter, 614 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: but the bad news is you're really bailing yourself out 615 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: of these things, your own misfires if we just ball secure. 616 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: And I think what you have to sell him on 617 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: when he leaves is this may be the best defense 618 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: that he's played with and by far the Bessels best 619 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: special teams. So make the plays when they're there, you know, 620 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: don't don't try to force it or you know again 621 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: no when to fold them, especially early in the game. 622 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: And I'm with Joe from an overall standpoint, let's get 623 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: going quick. I thought on the other side of it, 624 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. I thought Gus did a really 625 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: good job of changing the venue this week and playing 626 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: differently in the first quarter to get our defense jumps started. 627 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: Same thing on offense. You know, if it's no huddle, 628 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: the other thing we're not exploiting. And this you know 629 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: I've played a lot of that double sync. I'll tell 630 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: you what's hard to stop in double sink because you 631 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: got those big edge wreshers is the screen game will 632 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: not exploit. And I don't mean wide receivers. I mean 633 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: get it out to our bats who can make a 634 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: big play. But the biggest thing for us to change 635 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: this right now is ball security, no doubt about that. 636 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: Rick vent Terry. Joe writes again, I'm Matt Taylor, Colts 637 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: Roundtable Live tonight. Let's go quickly on conference number three, Joe, 638 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: and let's talk about the positive because the Colts on defense, 639 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: they've been great in the second half. Now. I know 640 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: they're giving up about seventeen a game, which is middle 641 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: of the pack, but they've been elite past halftime. They've 642 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: allowed a total of just six points in the last 643 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: three second halves, and they've allowed opponents to convert just 644 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: two for twenty one third down in the fourth quarter 645 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: and overtime of games. So the Culture the only team 646 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: so far, as Rick said, that has not allowed a 647 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter or overtime of a game 648 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: all season. They're plus twenty seven in the fourth quarter. 649 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: That's number two in the NFL so far through five games. 650 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: So the Colts defense through five games. You've got kids, Joe, 651 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: as you said, you've had good conferences, You've had bad conferences. 652 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: This I think would be a good overall conference. In 653 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: a progress report, as the pairenting teacher get together after 654 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: five weeks, no doubt this is one where the teacher's 655 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: happy to share how good your kid is doing. And 656 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: I think our defense is they're really really playing at 657 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: a high level. To me, the message here, though, is simple, 658 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: Let's not let good be in the way of getting great, right, 659 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: Good is the enemy of great. I think sometimes it's 660 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: easy to say, well, you're doing a really nice job, 661 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: and you let your guard down. Let's keep going, let's 662 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: keep pushing higher. I mean what they did in Denver 663 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: two or fourteen on third down holding them. We're eighth 664 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: overall in the NFL on third down, which is good. 665 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: We're getting off the field. I mean Gilmore, you know, 666 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: unbelievable signing there. I mean he should be AFC Defensive 667 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: Player of the Week. I mean he won a game 668 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: there in the fourth quarter. So to me, the messages, Hey, fellas, 669 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: we're doing a really good job, but no time to rest. 670 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: We got to build on this and if we got 671 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: to carry ourselves and we got to win games twelve 672 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: to nine, will win games twelve to nine. But kudos 673 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: to the defense. Great job. Let's build on this and 674 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: let's get even better. Yeah, you know, I'm gonna I'm 675 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: gonna commend them, and I'm gonna make a point here. 676 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: I think the two games that we've really come out 677 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: on fire in the first quarter, and actually there is 678 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: a tactical change. There was a lot more changeup. Maybe 679 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: that's because McLeod now is at strong safety and you 680 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: can do more. We blitzed on the first two series 681 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: of the game, which we haven't been doing that. We 682 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: did similar thing in Kansas City. It's ironic that Gus, 683 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: who comes from the AFC West for a long time, 684 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: actually has had, you know, two really good games. I mean, 685 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: we're leading the division in the AFC West. What we've 686 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: got to do is figure out how to lead it 687 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: in the South. But there's no question about it. We're 688 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: playing at a high level that when it's all said 689 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: and done, we're eighth total, tenth in scoring, and number 690 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: one in the fourth quarter. So it's there. I'm with Joe, though, 691 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: you got you can't rest defensively. You have to play 692 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: at that emotional level. Now what we got this Sunday. Now, 693 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: we haven't always gotten it all year long, and we 694 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: have struggles sometimes early in games. But you said this, 695 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: Matt at the conclusion, I think the big critical thing 696 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: is our big players really played big. Joe's exactly right. 697 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: Gilmore was tremendous. Not only did he save the game 698 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: at the end, but he's stuffed Sutton, which essentially takes 699 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: away the basically takes away the Denver pass offense. And 700 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: I thought that also Gus did a really good job. 701 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: Gus and Ron Miles in they matched him to Sutton. 702 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: He actually played a true match corner this week, and 703 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: that was good. Tactically, buck Buckner and Gilmore played like 704 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: the All pros they are. Buckner dominated the inside sacks. 705 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: That's the Buckner we've been waiting for. So those two 706 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: guys were really at a really high level, and they 707 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: got to play that way every week. And then of 708 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: course I thought we got good play. Of course out 709 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: of Grover and in Gockway, we got specialized play. And 710 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: then things that I think are really good men is 711 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: I just think Franklin is balling it. I think he's 712 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: the most physical linebacker we've had here in a long time. 713 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: What can we say about the Thomas kids stepping in 714 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: at free safety? We can talk about him later. And 715 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: then I was really happy to see Rogers. I think 716 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: Rogers really gives us another playmaker. But you know, the 717 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: biggest thing is again all those specialized situations plus an 718 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: early start. You know, the third down we talked about 719 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: two for twelve and the key fourth down stop, red zone, 720 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: the most important thing in football, oh for four and 721 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: then holding him two points again two great defensive performance 722 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: against the AFC South and again now we have to 723 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: take it. You know, obviously we'll talk about Jacksonville as 724 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: we go on into week. But obviously that's the challenge 725 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: coming up. Hey.

Let's go to Zander. He's 754 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: up first for your Rick. He's asking Rick. Is Rodney 755 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: Thomas our guy going forward at safety over Nick Cross? Well, 756 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, they're really two different total positions and total guys. 757 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: Both of them are really superior athletes. Everybody knows what 758 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: Cross did at the Combine. I don't think people realize 759 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: what a great athlete Thomas is. And he's got a 760 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: background at corner safety, linebacker, terrific instincts and football intelligence. 761 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: I think that basically Thomas may be the surprise player 762 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL, stepping in from Blackman and what he's 763 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: really done a great job of he's mistake free. He's 764 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: playing that center field position for Gus Bradley. Not only 765 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 1: is he always in the right spot, he's made some 766 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: critical plays interceptions, pass breakups, you know, really kind of 767 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: game changing plays. So you know we're often running with him. 768 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: He's right in the right spot right now. And I 769 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: think the problem that Cross has crosses a terrific athlete. 770 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: But if you compare the two positions in the Gus 771 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: Bradley system, the free safety, this free safety is more learnable, 772 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: quicker because it's the center fielder. Basically there's some nuance involved, 773 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: but it's center field. The strong safety, believe it or not, 774 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: not typical of most teams, is really the complex position 775 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: because Gus will insert the strong safety different spots outside week, 776 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: outside strong inside strong outside week, and an inside week, 777 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of learning there. He's involved in 778 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: the double coverage defenses on third down. And I think 779 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 1: what's happened to Cross is as a real young player, 780 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit overwhelmed, you know, you 781 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: get we used to call it in teaching, paralysis by analysis. 782 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: I know he's going to be really fine. He's just 783 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: the terri sac athlete, but I think he's a little 784 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 1: overwhelmed where Thomas actually steps right into a position that 785 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: he is just perfect. That all right? Rick Venturi right 786 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: there in the mailbag. Joe Rights is along as well. 787 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the mailbag again. Hashtag Colts Roundtable 788 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: to submit your thoughts and questions every week. Here Joe 789 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: Mitch is asking what is our best offensive line lineup? 790 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: And how discouraging is this considering we had an entire 791 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: training camp to figure this out with everybody healthy. Joe, 792 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: what did you see from the shakeup of the Colts 793 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: made along the offensive line on Thursday? How did that 794 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: transpire in your opinion having played the position? Yeah, good question, Mitch. 795 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: I would say one, it is discouraging because I think 796 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: the old line you thought was going to be a 797 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: strength and it's really been a weakness through five games now. 798 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 1: To me, I thought Ryman did an okay job. Again, 799 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: it's a hard environment against a really good team. That's 800 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: just a tough, tough deal to go in. But I 801 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: would stick with Ryman at left tackle. I think a 802 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: couple of the holding penalties he just has to understand. 803 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: And while it's good to finish blocks, you gotta be 804 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: a little bit smarter with your hands, because what might 805 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: be a hold verse what the ref sees is completely different, 806 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: and he'll learn that with time. But I would roll 807 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: with Ryman at left tackle, Quintin Nelson at left guard, 808 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: Kelly at center, fries Or Prior at right guard, and 809 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: to coaches pointing the show, I'd keep Braden Smith at 810 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: right tackle. I mean, you're paying him a lot of 811 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 1: money to be out there and protect on the edge. 812 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: And when I look at our offensive line, our protection, 813 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, the middle three guys are responsible for the 814 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: depth of the pocket, meaning they got to keep their 815 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: guys near the line of scrimmage, so the quarterbacks got 816 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: room to step up. The tackles are responsible for the 817 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: width of the pocket. Keep the edge dressers wide or 818 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: run him around so that he's got time in there 819 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: in the pocket. But unfortunate, our tackles are getting beat inside. 820 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 1: They're getting beat on quick moves games, and so there's 821 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: no width of the pocket. And then our inside guys 822 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: aren't keeping guys at the line of scrimmage. We're getting beat. 823 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: We're getting put on edges, and that includes everybody. Nelson, Kelly, 824 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, and then obviously you know pinter Fries who's 825 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 1: been at right guard. So bottom line, we got to 826 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: get our protection cleaned up. And I think we have 827 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of man protections where you know, you have 828 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: four down and you got the mic or you got 829 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: the will linebacker, and a lot of times teams are 830 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: going up. They're getting five on five, five one on ones. 831 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: Now you're getting paid a lot of money. You've got 832 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: to be able to block guys. But I think schematically 833 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: we can do some different things. We can turn protection, 834 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: meaning you turn four or five linemen like an old 835 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: school fire protection. Then you have the running back or 836 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: the tight end block somebody. You can move the pocket, 837 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, maybe some more play action, some hard run 838 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: fakes and you know, pull Quinton Nelson around there and 839 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: fake the power three steps and run the ball. But 840 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: do some different things where we can stay to be 841 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: aggressive in protection, if that makes sense. First, just dropping 842 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: back in a typical five step drop, because when you 843 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: do that in the defense knows that that's just a 844 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: hard day at the offense. So again, it comes down 845 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: to a lot of things. Quarterback, play call. But at 846 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: the end of the day, the offensive line we just 847 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: got to do better collectively as a unit, and to me, 848 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: the more you move guys around, that's worse. Let's get 849 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: our five guys. I would have Ryman in there and 850 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: roll with him and learn with him. Let's get our 851 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: five guys established for the rest of the season, and 852 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: let's roll from here. All right, well done, Joe rights 853 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: right there. One final one, Rick, We got to go quick. 854 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: We're kind of up against it in terms of timing here, 855 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: but I do want to get in one more mail 856 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: bag question. This is from Paul. He's asking, is Alec 857 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: Pierce proving to be our best wide receiver because of 858 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: his big body and his large catch radius. Well, I 859 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: think he's going to be our most dangerous guy and 860 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: our playmaker. I really love Pittman, There's no question about it. 861 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: But I've always said that he's a possession number two 862 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: scheme dependent as fifty fifty a guy we think he is. 863 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 1: We really never get that production in the fifty fifty stuff, 864 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: but he plays his role exceptionally well. What Pierce brings 865 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: in here, because the speed is legitimate and it's football speed. 866 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: He can climb the defense, he can get on top 867 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: of it, he can go and so he's going to 868 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: threaten that outside of the numbers one on one, he's 869 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: going to become very difficult to play one on one. 870 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: And then you've already seen his body control, his ability 871 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: to make that fifty fifty catch, and even what we 872 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,280 Speaker 1: saw Sunday is a little bit of run after the catch. 873 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: So you know, I think he's headed to be that 874 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: guy because I think he can win the one on 875 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: one matchup on the outside of the field.
