00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: you brought you by Fan? Dual Sports book Download The Afterday,

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Make every moment More. We start out with the burning

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: question the Colts felt of the Steelers on Monday Night

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: one and two. Since Jeff Saturday took over on an

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: interim basis as head coach, as the new energy of

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Saturday at the Helm, is it over? Is his voice

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: going unheard? Why did this team revert to old habits.

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: That's the burning question, and I'll go ahead and share

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: my knowledge with you right now. Here's why. Because this

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: team is the same as it was for Frank Reich,

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: as it is for Jeff's Saturday right now. We'll see

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: how it goes here on out to end the season,

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: but it is the same team. Now, answer this burning

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: question anyway you want, and you can do that at

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: jamb ten seventy on Twitter. But it is the same team,

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: and that's why you have seen similar results. A lot

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: of the same issues that we have seen with this

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: team still holds true. Getting a stop when you need it,

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: offensive futility situations, not being able to close out games.

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: You beat Vegas, you were close against the Eagles in

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the neighborhood against the Steelers. The one thing that you

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: can't to me, it was tough for me to understand

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: was on Monday Night, the way that the Colts started out,

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: basically the first quarter, the first half of that game,

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: the way they look at the first half, especially for

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: a team and an organization that had been wanting a

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: Monday night game forever and hadn't hadn't won at home

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: for seven years or so, that was to me inexplicable

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: as to why they started out as poorly in the

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: first half of play as they did on Monday. But

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: that's your branding question to get at, jam v ten

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: seventy if you would like to go there and give

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: me your reaction. All right, Rick VN. Cherry coming up

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: a little bit later on as well. But as we

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: always start, the Voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor, he

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: is with Colt's interim head coach Jeff Saturday. Matt, all right,

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: thank you, James Vat's time now for the Head Coaches

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Report tonight on Colts APPYR with interim head coach Jeff's

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Saturday and Jeff, this week was a kind of a

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: short week playing on Monday night football against the Steelers.

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: What kind of week of preparation did you see this

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: week out of the team going into another primetime game,

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: this time against the Cowboys. Yeah, really good energy. You know.

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, we walked through on Wednesday. I

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: just kind of took it easier on their body, let

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: him recover one more day. And then Thursday, I thought

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: they'd bounced back. And I had actually even planned a

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: little more rest during practice, and the guys didn't want to.

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: You know, they wanted to kind of push through and

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of go full live. So just respected the way

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: they went after the week and we had talked about

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: the process and you know, from from from the organization

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: perspective of learning how to stack practices on top of

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: each other and translating it to the game field. So

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: hopefully the way that we worked will show up Sunday night.

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: All right, The Cowboys are up next. Their coach by

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. You were with Mike McCarthy as a player

71
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: one year twenty twelve with the Green Bay Packers. He

72
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: was your head coach. What are the hallmarks of a

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy led team. Yeah, aggressive, you know, they want to.

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, he was one of the you know, after

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: you get used to Tony Dungee and called well, you

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: know very you know, they kind of give you the

77
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: highlights of teams when you open up the week of

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: what to expect, and you know, Mike was always about

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, all gas, no breaks. Hey, we're full law

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: and man like, we're a better team. We need to

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: go show it. And I like that. I like that

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: about him. I thought that he challenged his team to

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: to play. They the way they should play, and if

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: he can exploit a part of the of the defense,

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: he's going to do it over and over. And you know,

86
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: because from an offensive perspective obviously, but you see that

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: translate into all phases. Wherever, wherever they can find a

88
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: competitive advantage, they're gonna work it. And so I think

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: he's He's done a good job obviously in Dallas and

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: got these boys rolling. Yeah, they're playing some good football

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: right now. There's no doubt about that. They've won four

92
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: of their last five. On offense, They've scored at least

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight points, and they're over four hundred yards of

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: offense and four straight games. Why are they clicking right now?

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: I think Dad coming back for them, you know, his

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: first game or maybe first two games. He just finding

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: his way back from injury, which we know always takes time.

98
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: But man, this this offense is loaded. I mean, you know,

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: they got Pollard, who is an absolute, absolute beast, and

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: then they'll they'll run it with Zeke up the gut

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: and he's a physical runner, and then with CD and

102
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Gallop on the outside. They got very good tight ends.

103
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize how big and physical their

104
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: tight ends are, but you know they'll they'll go two

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: tight ends and three tight end looks and they can physically,

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, come after you, and then they can throw

107
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: it as well. But Dak does as good a job

108
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: as anybody of protecting the football and play action pass

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: and so we'll have our work cut out for us.

110
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: And then defensively, if they get a lead and they

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: pin their ears back, there's nobody better and everybody that

112
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: you know that you've watched week after a week, if

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: they get down, it can get ugly in a hurry.

114
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: So hopefully we go you know, we can match toe

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: for toe here early and then get a chance to

116
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: win in the end. How big will situational football be

117
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: in this game? And the last four games for them

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: about sixty percent conversion rate on third down and then

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: for the season the Cowboys are about seventy percent inside

120
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: the red zone. Yeah, I mean, listen, they have been

121
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: as good as anybody in the NFL. And like you said,

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: in situational football where we've actually struggled, you know, you

123
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: get the red zone and we haven't done what we

124
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: need to do to convert to touchdowns. They have done

125
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: a really good job. And then you just mentioned their

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: third down number, and for us is going to be

127
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: that get off the field on defense on third down,

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, if it's third and three, make a play.

129
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, third and six, we got to make a play.

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: And then we need turnovers. I mean, this team when

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: they're when they're even or negative the turnover, they're five

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: hundred ball club. And that's about That's about true, right,

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, as if you lose the turnover a battle,

134
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: you're most likely going to lose in the NFL. And

135
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: so unfortunately for us, we've been the team that's given

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: it away and not taking it away nearly enough. And

137
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: so hopefully that changes Sunday. Meanwhile, on defense, for them,

138
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: got to buy Dan Quinn, who used to be the

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: head coach of the Falcons when Matt Ryan was there. Obviously,

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: they lead the NFL and sacks with forty five and

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Parsons Michael Parsons he has twelve, but that's still a

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: whole bunch of sacks left for the remainder of the team.

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: What makes their pass rush that pressure so diverse, coming

144
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: from so many different angles and so many different players.

145
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they get into exotic looks and they'll bring

146
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: it from everywhere, And I think DQ does a really

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: good job of understanding from your protection perspective, what's going

148
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: to be the most difficult for your quarterback to see

149
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: to be able to get the ball off. So he

150
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: holds it and that split second, somebody's getting home. And

151
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: it's not just Parsons, right, I mean it's Laurence, it's

152
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: Armstrong like these guys, understand. I think I counted thirteen

153
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: or somewhere near there, guys who have gotten sacks. You know,

154
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: pressures have come from a lot of different places. When

155
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: you think about that and the context of NFL, that

156
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: is an insane thought. And so they can they can

157
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: make it happen again. Most of that comes though, with

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: the lead and being able to be a little more

159
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: bold in your past rush style when you're taking the

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: lead drive home your point. They've got four players with

161
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: at least five sacks. That's the most of the National

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Football League, right, So you look at the Colts defense,

163
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: though playing very well, it's been steady most of the season.

164
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: How about Unique and goak Way eight sacks? Seventh straight

165
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: years with at least eight sacks? Consistent player? What is

166
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: he given your defense right now? From his position Yeah,

167
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: that big play opportunity, right, I mean you saw it

168
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. I mean, you know he makes play after

169
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: play one I know was it was an error by them,

170
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: but you know, finding a way to get home in

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: big moments, you know, close out a drive. You have

172
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: to have that in the NFL, and you need it. Unfortunately,

173
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: we haven't given them enough opportunities to close out game,

174
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: just been you know, fighting and scriping to stay in them.

175
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: So hopefully we have that a little bit different. He

176
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: can put some pressure there on deck this weekend. All right. Lastly,

177
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: coach our Keys to win this football game on Sunday

178
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: night in Dallas. Yeah, I would say, offensively, we got

179
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: to we need to be able to run the football again,

180
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: you can't be one dimensional. We've mentioned the sacks, and

181
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: we've mentioned the pressure and the creativity that dan Quinn

182
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: brings to the table so effectively being able to run

183
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: the ball. And then on the other side of you

184
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: got to take shots, right, I mean they are very

185
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: good on the defensive backfield. You got Diggs who's had

186
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: a ton of interceptions over the last two years. But

187
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: these guys understand about sitting on a route, running routes

188
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: for you. So that means you gotta have shots and

189
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: back them off, get people out. I think that you know,

190
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: when you look back at the last three games, that's

191
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: what teams do. You know, they walk down in the box,

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: make it difficult for JT and for us to establish

193
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: that run. The only way to back them off is

194
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: to take a shot. And so I've encouraged our guys,

195
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, let's make that part happen. And then defensively,

196
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: we need to make them one dimensional. Right. We cannot

197
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: allow Pollard and Elliott to control tempo, to control the offense.

198
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Then that offensive line gets going, then play action. You're

199
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: not gonna get any pressure he'll have all day. And

200
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I've told everybody protection beats coverage every day and then

201
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: some right, and so we need to make sure that

202
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: we shut that run game down. Force dak to beat

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: us from the pocket. And you know, listen, they've won

204
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: games like that all season, but when I look at it,

205
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: that gives us the best chance to win. That's the

206
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: head Coaches Report with interim head coach Jeff's Saturday before

207

Speaker 1: the Colts taken on the Cowboys. Jeff, thanks for the

Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, Matt Taylor Coults Happy nine five one oh

Speaker 1: button light blue Friday. I haven't got more charge of

212
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: gold stagers to give away, In fact, three more pair

213
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: to give away while we're here this reminder eight thirty

214
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: pregame coverage right here on the fan. That would be

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the Pacers and the Jazz game number four of a

216
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: seven game Western road swing. So far, Pacers one and two.

217
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: The two that they've lost, they haven't looked good at all,

218
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and the one that they won was somewhat I don't

219
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: want to say legendary that's too much, but incredibly exciting

220
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: and will be in a lot of memory banks for

221
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: a number of years with that knockdown from Andrew Nimhart

222
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: from three that was the game winner one and two.

223
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Going into game number four in Utah, Utah had been

224
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: upstart and playing well, but had recently hit the skids.

225
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: They're not the same Utah team that you remember from

226
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, with Donovan Mitchell being gone

227
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: and Rudy Gobert being gone, but still formidable in a

228
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: nice opportunity in the SLC for the Pacers to get

229
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: back on the winning track at even up this road

230
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: record at least in this seven game or out West

231
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: at two games. I should say two games a piece

232
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: two and two, as they still have more to go.

263
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: thank you, jamb Let's talk about Colts and Cowboys Sunday

264
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: night football from an x IS and O standpoint. It's

265
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: time for insight football with my man Rick Venturry, and

266
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: let's break out the blueprints for the Colts to win

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: this football game on Sunday. RV Dallas boasts the seventh

268
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: best scoring offense in the NFL, putting up twenty five

269
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: points per game. They also have a top ten rushing offense,

270
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: a top ten team on third down, in the red zone,

271
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: and in giveaways. The Cowboys have scored at least twenty

272
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: eight points and have racked up over four hundred yards

273
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: of offense in four straight games, and their balance rick

274
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: that's even scarier. Between the run and the past. They

275
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: have at least two hundred and forty passing yards and

276
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: at least one hundred and fifty rushing yards in four

277
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: straight games as well. They are the first team in

278
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: the NFL to do that since the Bears way back

279
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty seven, so they're really on one right now.

280
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: And they're also the only team this season with three

281
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: players with at least six hundred scrimmage yards Ceedee Lamb

282
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: and then running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, and

283
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: quarterback Dak Prescott has put up at least two hundred

284
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: and fifty passing yards and at least two passing touchdowns

285
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: and four straight games that is time for the longest

286
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: streak in Cowboys history. Has really been playing well since

287
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: he came back from that injury, and the offensive line

288
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: has got to buy Indianapolis native Zach Martin, and they

289
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: have only as a group given up fourteen sacks all season,

290
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: that's the least in the NFL, and none in the

291
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: last two games. So all of that rig basically paints

292
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: the picture that the offense for the Cowboys it's rolling.

293
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: This is going to be a really good test for

294
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: this Colts defense. Yeah, big time test. There isn't any

295
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: doubt about it. You know, starting with the musk Okay,

296
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: we just have to stop the running game. If if

297
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: you don't stop the running game, nothing else will matter.

298
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: And that is really the fallkirm as I said, one thousand,

299
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty eight rushes rushing yardage by those

300
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: two guys, and Ezekiel Elliott is really he's back to

301
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: full strength. He was really struggling for a while. And

302
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: that's why you look at him in His average is

303
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: four point one. And really he's the doubles hitter. He's

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: the guy when he's in the game. It's a lot

305
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: more inside zone Matt he in short yardage, he's the

306
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: short yardage guy. He's really kind of become the power guy,

307
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of that thruster from tackle to tackle. Really even

308
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: though he can do it all being that's kind of

309
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: become his role. And then of course the guy that's

310
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: just just become a beast is Pollard, you know at

311
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: five point six, you know per and you know, if

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: Ezekiel's hitting doubles, this guy's hitting home runs. I mean

313
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: he is really not just a guy that will slash

314
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: it in there, but he will bounce it. He can

315
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: take a pass for a home run. I mean, he's

316
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: just outstanding. And they, like I said, they'll get in

317
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: that fast regular with both of him and and they'll

318
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: use him kind of almost as a gimmick guy. So

319
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, really really important that you stop the run again,

320
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: that is everything that will make everything else is more

321
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: difficult to him. So, you know, we didn't do a

322
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: good job against Pittsburgh. We've been relatively good all year long,

323
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: but we did not control the line of scrimmage. The

324
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Steelers control the line of scrimmage. And we can't let

325
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: that happen with Dallas or it's a long day. Okay,

326
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: number two, we must have a scheme to shut down Lamb.

327
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: You know Lamb with the sixty four catches. You know,

328
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: he is, you know, by far the go to guy.

329
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: And the thing about Lamb is he'll line up everywhere.

330
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: He can be out at X, at split in, he

331
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: can be at Z. But he does a lot of damage.

332
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: He's six two two hundred. He has a lot of range,

333
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: and they love to put him inside at like the

334
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: slot or sometimes he'll be all the way in at

335
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: the tight end for edition at number three, and he

336
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: makes a ton of interior Interior catches always know where

337
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: he is and defend him, no question about it. If

338
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: the game is on the line and they're passing the football,

339
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: we have got to have a way to double Lamb

340
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: in a critical, critical situation. Now, when you do that,

341
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: number three must is you have to play really good

342
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: technique and have good individual matchups versus Gallop and Shultz. Okay,

343
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Gallup is a guy you can press. He's not real fast,

344
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: he's right at four or five. He's six foot about

345
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: two hundred, but he plays long and you got to

346
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: compete for the fade with him. Okay, he's a guy

347
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: that you know, he's really good on the fifty fifty ball.

348
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: And what they do a lot with him, Matt is

349
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: they'll get in three by one or a strong formation

350
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and he'll be back at the week side X and

351
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: they'll rpo quick slants or quick hitches, and they'll also

352
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: run some fades to him because they trust him on

353
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: the fifty fifty balls. So you know, in some respects

354
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: you want a really good corner on him. You have

355
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: to make the decision as to whether you double you

356
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: know at times that you you double Lamb and you

357
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: put your best corner on, you know, on Gallup, or

358
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: you trust your second corner, which faith On is playing

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: pretty well and he played good fifty fifty last week,

360
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: so I think we have a chance on that matchup.

361
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: And then we got to do a really really good

362
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: job on Schultz, particularly in the red zone. Okay, particularly

363
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Now this brings up the usage

364
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: of these guys and I said this earlier in the discussion,

365
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: and I worked against him forever, Okay. Mike McCarthy loves

366
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: three by one sets and two types one. We're a

367
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the week's side, okay, And if that's

368
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Lamb back there, they're going to do everything possible to

369
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: get it to him. If he's on the strong side

370
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: at number two or number three, expect him and what

371
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: we call all goes special to be running down that field,

372
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: particularly at three where he's bending and running away from

373
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: people and trying to get a big matchup on that.

374
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: So you've got to be alert to where he's at.

375
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: And basically they're gonna let Dak look it over. If

376
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: you rotate strong, the ball will come back to X

377
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: if you're rotated, if you stay balanced, I guarantee you

378
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: if Lamb is strong, that ball is going to Lamb. Now,

379
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: the other type of three by one he lugs is

380
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: what we call a speed trips okay, And that means

381
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: all three receivers to one side and shults back one

382
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: on one on the week side, and they're they're looking

383
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: for one on one and matchups and they'll run quick

384
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: options to him. But what they really like and they

385
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: get into the red zone is what Mic refers to

386
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: John Gridden refers to it anybody that's had a West

387
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: Coast background with what they call it a why poco.

388
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: And for the fans, what a why poco means is

389
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: it's an option deep and the tight end has an

390
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: option to run the post or the corner. Thus polko okay.

391
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: And so what he's looking for if the safety is

392
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: in the middle and it's closed, then he's gonna run.

393
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna start to the post and run the corner.

394
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: If there's no safety, if there's no safety in the middle,

395
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: like it's splits safety cover two or something like that,

396
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna take. He's gonna start to the corner and

397
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: run the post. So it's really a good option. Again,

398
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: he caught a big touchdown on a Poco last week,

399
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: So those are just things that you really have to

400
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: be ready for on three by ones and then the

401
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: fourth must we got. We've got a pressure dac into turnovers.

402
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: I think his ten and six ratio touchdowns to interceptions,

403
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: it's not overwhelming. I think if you stay ahead and

404
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: account and you narrow their their playbook down. I think

405
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: they have some hidden weaknesses, particularly on that left side

406
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: on pass protection. But if they get in third and long,

407
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: Mike is smart. He's going to keep those guys in

408
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: the block. So you want to have your best coverages

409
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: on third and long. If you want to blitz him,

410
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: blitz him third and five to seven. But once you

411
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: get third and ten, they're gonna have two guys back

412
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: in there helping their tackles. I wish we'd look at

413
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: the film and do some of that, but that's where

414
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: you want to fake blitz and give him coverage and

415
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: get back in there. And I think we're gonna need

416
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: a couple turnovers to win this game, and that again,

417
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: that's going to go back to getting ahead and account

418
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: get him in third and long and give him some

419
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: coverage problems. That's Rick vin Uri. This is Inside Football

420
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: breaking down the Colts and Cowboys. I'm Matt Taylor, and

421
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: we're going to shift gears now about the blueprints to

422
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys. On defense and that Dallas d Rick,

423
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: as you said, just as good as their offense. They

424
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: come into this game ranking first in passing yards per

425
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: game sacks on defense. They already have forty five as

426
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: a team, and their second in points allowed, giving up

427
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: only seventeen a game. And they're forty five sacks to

428
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: go back to that, the second most by an NFL

429
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: team through eleven games of a season in the last

430
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty years. And the star of that defense is linebacker

431
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: and pass rusher Micah Parsons, ranked second in the NFL

432
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: this year in sacks with twelve. He's got twenty five

433
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: in his first two years, only needs one more to

434
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: join Reggie White and Alden Smith as the only players

435
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: with at least thirteen sacks in each of their first

436
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: two NFL seasons. And as you talked about in the

437
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: bigger picture, they're the only chink in their armor the

438
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: rushing defense. They're allowing one hundred and thirty one rushing

439
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: yards per game. They've allowed one hundred and sixty five

440
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game in their three losses. That's twenty

441
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: eighth in the NFL in that regard. And so it's

442
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: it's something that Colts need to take advantage of, or

443
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: at least try to take advantage of potential there for

444
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: the Colts and Jonathan Taylor to have an impactful game

445
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: on the ground. What else do we need to know

446
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys on defense? Gotta buy Dan Quinn, by

447
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: the way, was the head coach of Atlanta with quarterback

448
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So what else stands out to you about

449
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense? Number One, We've got to pound them

450
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: to death. You've got we got to take advantage of

451
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: that twenty five four And if they stay in over

452
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think we can get right after them.

453
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at their team including Parsons.

454
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: They're really constructed with athleticism more than power. That's where

455
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: all those loose play statistics including sacks are so good,

456
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: but they don't do great right at them, including Parsons.

457
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: When he's the stack backer. To me, he's just a guy.

458
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: And when they're in that over and we've seen it

459
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: with our own team, pound at it, hound at it

460
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: right away. Don't do a lot of finesse stuff, Go

461
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: right at him. Power that three, they're really pour off

462
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: tackle and on the edge. And if you can run

463
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: right at Parsons, run right at him, run at the

464
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: stack when he's in the stack backer. Make Jonathan Taylor

465
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: the MVP, not Parsons, run the ball and reduce the game.

466
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: Number two, you got to think protection, protection, protection, and

467
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: you've got to protect the edges. You've got to help

468
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: your tackles and primarily your left tackle. Now again, I

469
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: thought Braydon Smith did a terrific job last Sunday on

470
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: what there is no doubt. I thought he did a

471
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: really good job, and I think you can trust him.

472
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Some Parsons a different story. When he's coming off that edge.

473
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: We have got to have a schematic answer for Parsons

474
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: you cannot let him one on one with that kid.

475
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: We got to think protection, protect and protection. I think

476
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: number one, when you're on first down, it's a combination

477
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: of many things. Again, run it our pot you know,

478
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: quick rhythm. We did that in the third quarter. You know,

479
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: we've really got in a rhythm in the third quarter

480
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: after the Flowers return and we got right back into

481
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: what we do best. That's run our po quick rhythm

482
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: screen and again that takes that puts the defense on

483
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: their heels. And I would say this, I think we

484
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: should take a look at the Cowboy film and I've

485
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: seen Mike do it year after year. If it's third down,

486
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: and it's third down and longer, you've got to keep

487
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: people in, you know, get your tight end, get your

488
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: running back in the backfield, and make sure those edge

489
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: guys can't get there. All right. Number three must go

490
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: after Brown, Okay, and go after him. If Joseph is

491
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: in there, number one, it makes no difference. They're gonna

492
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: be on the left side. They do not flock them,

493
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: flop them, and they are liabilities. You want to get

494
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: over there, and we got to start taking shots. I mean,

495
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: we can't possession all day long because one penalty gets

496
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you behind the count. We've got to start getting explosive plays.

497
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: If we don't get explosive plays, we will never score

498
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: many points. It's just not gonna happen. And we've got

499
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: to get up there and get fifty fifty balls on

500
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: first down. Those corners are naked and that strong side

501
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: left corner is naked, and you have to go out

502
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: from And I would say this to my receivers this week. Okay,

503
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: this is a game. When you're doing fifty fifty on brown. Okay,

504
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: when you're fifty fifty on brown. Number three, if you

505
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: don't catch the ball, do the best acting job you've

506
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: ever done in your life. Throw your hands up. Because

507
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: this guy is the most highly penalized corner in the

508
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: league and he has almost no chance to play you

509
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: in the blind spot. Know that going in you may

510
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: have to get a big call in this game to

511
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: win it. But again, attack that. Then, I think number four,

512
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: you want it. There's two things you got to do.

513
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: Under one is run this direction, play action against Vanderish.

514
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: That guy will hunt. He is gonna go after you.

515
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna go after that run. So a few play action.

516
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: I think there's shaky underneath on crossing actions and play

517
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: action overs and things like that. Also be very very

518
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: ready for a man demand press games. Teams do not

519
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: respect our receiver corps. They're gonna get up in your

520
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: face like Pittsburgh in critical situation. So have our bunches ready,

521
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: our stacks, our meshes, and our rubs to beat this team.

522
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: There it is Rickman Jerry, and he's going on both

523
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: sides of the football with Matt Taylor right there getting

00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: NFL defensive tackle and NFL analyst Mike Golik is with us. Mike,

565
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: thanks for the time today. How are you. I'm doing well.

566
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be on absolutely now. Mike. Are you

567
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: still based up in South ben Well, I'm there six

568
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: months out of the year and then once it turns

569
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: bad weather, I come out here to Scotts now. So

570
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm done with smart. You got it all figured out, man,

571
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: I love it. But you're still an adopted Hoosier, so

572
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: we love you. Man. When you look at this, when

573
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: you look at this Colts team getting ready for Colts

574
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: and Cowboys in your preparation, I guess just big picture

575
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: for you, what stands out to you when you look

576
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: at the Colts in terms of how they've underperformed this

577
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: year four seven and one. What are some things that

578
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: have kind of hit home for you looking at them

579
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: three and a half games out of the playoffs at

580
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: this point. I quite honestly, I have been somewhat stunned.

581
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean I picked them the window division. I think

582
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: getting Matt Ryan over there I thought was going to

583
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: help put them over the top. I've been amazed at

584
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: just how much they struggled. So you know, a lot

585
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: of people point to the old line, which had been

586
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in such a strong point for them. Certainly, you know,

587
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: forty three sacks given up to year. The running game

588
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been what it's been though, Jonathan Taylor and the

589
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: last I think the last three games is average over

590
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty carries a game. So it seems like they're getting

591
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: back to that a little bit. I mean that that's

592
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: certainly one of the strong points. I mean, as far

593
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: as receiving him, it's really Pittman, right, I mean, isn't

594
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: like about thirty catches of everybody else I think as

595
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: far as receptions are concerned. So it's been surprising, to

596
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: say the least, especially on the offensive side, considering what

597
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: happened last year for that for this team not making

598
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: the plaff and they loss at the end of the season.

599
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: So I, like most others, have been very, very surprised. Now,

600
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: one of the things you mentioned, Jonathan Taylor the last

601
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: couple of games has kind of found his stride. How

602
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: important is he that's kind of riding the ship here

603
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. Well, it's huge because

604
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a monster passing game. You know,

605
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: just what I was talking about before. I mean that

606
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: the ball gets right out. You know, you have a

607
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: seventy four reception Pittman and at forty six reception Campbell,

608
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: and then after that you're looking in the twenties. You know,

609
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: between your tight ends, you know a running backs not

610
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: even here anymore. You know another wide receiver in Peers.

611
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: So it's been it's not a team that can live

612
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: on the passing game. I guess that's the way I

613
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: would put it. It's a it's a great it should

614
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: be a better compliment to their running game. But the

615
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: running game needs to be better. Now. The running game again,

616
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: like I said, in the last three games, has started

617
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better. But the bottom line,

618
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: you lost two of those games. You know, one was

619
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: only by a point, I know, to Philadelphia, you know,

620
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: and the other I thought, I thought, cold, we're going

621
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: to be Pittsburgh on Monday night. I really did. But

622
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: so the running game has to pick back up too

623
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: close to what it has been. I think for the

624
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: passing game to get better as well. That's my GOALIC

625
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: with us NFL analyst, he's going to be on the

626
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: call on Sunday Westwood One between Colts and Cowboys on

627
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. Mike, what was your initial reaction to

628
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: the Jeff Saturday news. You've been around the NFL for

629
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: a long time, You've seen a lot. How did you

630
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: process that when it first came down, and what do

631
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: you think of it now three weeks later? Well, I think,

632
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: like most people, I was, I was pretty surprised, right,

633
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, because just because we haven't seen that happen before,

634
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's like one of those things,

635
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: it's like it's hard to see first anymore. It doesn't

636
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: really happen pretty much. You've almost seen everything, but this

637
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 1: this was a first. Um, so yeah, I was a

638
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: little surprised. M And the thing that there were people

639
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: that were negative against this, the people that were getting

640
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: on Jeff Saturday for taking it that I'd completely disagree.

641
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff, I know it only coach high school,

642
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: but he's a guy who you know, was looking at

643
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, was coaching and has had some coaching, so

644
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: he wanted to coach. You know, guys who have no

645
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: interest in coaching probably would have said no. I think

646
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: a lot of more more guys would have said yes.

647
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't put this on Jeff. Everybody said it's unfair

648
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: to the other coaches, especially like a G. Bradley who

649
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: was a head coach, to go over their head. Well,

650
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: that's on Ersey, that's not on Jeff. You know, Jeff

651
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: was off of the job. Jeff wasn't picking who could

652
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: have the job if he didn't have it, So that

653
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: that's on Jim Ersey saying, you know, this is who

654
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: I want to write the ship. And and I kind

655
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: of you know, looking kind of sitting back. He always

656
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: look at like mid season changes, you know what happened

657
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: in Carolina with with rule getting let going, Wilkes takes

658
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: over who has experience obviously, and he's trying to, you know,

659
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: play had his team play well enough to be the

660
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: head coach going forward. I don't know what Jeff. I

661
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know what Jeff's wants and desires are. I don't

662
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: know if he wants to be the coach. I don't

663
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: know if no matter what happens, he's going to be

664
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: the coach, or if they're just going to hire someone

665
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: new and that new person can do whatever he wants

666
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: with all the assistance. But from what I understand with

667
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: Jeff is he is basically he has not really rocked

668
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: the boat there. You know, he's letting the assistance do

669
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: their jobs. Now. If if the Gus Bradley's and others

670
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: of the world feel slighted, I understand that I don't

671
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: blame them for that because we know how it normally

672
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: had worked in the NFL that one of those guys

673
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: would get elevated to be the interim head coach. So

674
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: I could see their nose getting out of joint a bit.

675
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: Bottom line, as though they're still they're coaching and they're

676
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: going to coach to the best of their ability. Jeff

677
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: is going to be there and really kind of a

678
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: leadership role yea, and to try and kind of set

679
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: the ship right, that's my goal. Like with US NFL analysts,

680
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the call on Sunday Night

681
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Football National broadcast on Westwood One. Now switching over to

682
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Mike, they're one of the best teams in

683
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: the NFL right now in terms of how they're playing

684
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight points and at least four hundred yards of

685
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: offense and four straight games. They've won four of their

686
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: last five. As you know, Mike, how impressed have you

687
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: been with Dallas lately, especially since Dak Prescott came back

688
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 1: into the lineup there at quarterback. Oh, I mean, listen,

689
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: how can you not be impressed? I mean what they've done,

690
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: especially as of late. So, I mean, they're they're sitting

691
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: in a great spot now obviously for the playoffs, but

692
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: they'd love to challenge Philadelphia for the division title. I

693
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: was at the first game, you know when when Philly

694
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: won in Philly. So it will be interesting to where

695
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: this thing ends up for them, you know it for

696
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, so different in college as we're getting ready

697
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: to get our final four. In college one loss can

698
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: cost you so much in college football. In the NFL,

699
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: that's not the case. You know, the best thing that

700
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: you can do in the NFL if you're going to

701
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: make the playoffs is be peaking at the right time,

702
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: getting players back from injuring and playing your best ball

703
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: toward the end of the year. And that's where the

704
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys are right now. And oh, it certainly helps to

705
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: have probably the defensive play of the year and Michael

706
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Parsons who moves all over the place on that defense.

707
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: So you can win when you have a great defense

708
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: because they're going to keep you in every game. And

709
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: then you have a running game with the two headed

710
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: monster of Zeke and Pollard, who's you know, it could

711
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: be a home run every time he touches the ball.

712
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: And then Dak and CD Lamb, you know, have been

713
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: have been hooking up pretty well, so they're peaking at

714
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: the right time. This is gonna be this is gonna

715
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: be a very very difficult game for the Colts. It's

716
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: a my golic with Casey Valley and Matt Taylor un

719
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: the fewest of the NFL, and defensively they have forty five,

720
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: which is the most of the NFL. They would be

721
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: just a fourth team and the Super Bowl Era to

722

753
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: second half the other night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. You

754
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: take it eighty nine yards inside the Pittsburgh red zone.

755
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: Take me through that play. Did you know that it

756
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: was gonna be as impactful as it ended up being?

757
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: To be honest, I've been I've been doing a kick

758
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: return my whole life, you know what I mean. It's

759
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of like second National to me, and coming in

760
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: after halftime, it was now sixteen three, I believe something

761
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: like that. So I know we needed a spark um.

762
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't have to be Superman. I just

763
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: had to be myself and I saw the crease and

764
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: I just shot it and I had some great blocks.

765
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: So you took it though eight yards deep? Did you?

766
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: Did you realize how deep in the end zone you

767
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: were when you first started that return? Yeah, I started

768
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: off like four or five yards deep. Like at first

769
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: when it first kicked off, I thought it's gonna be

770
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: short than what it was. But it got close to

771
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: me like two or three steps back. But I was

772
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: already liked the end on a retire and so I

773
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just bringing this out. Is there a

774
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: general rule on how far into the end zone you

775
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: can or cannot make a return based on where you

776
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: catch it? Yeah, we have a rule. Okay, did you

777
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: break the rule? What was? What was Bubba Ventrone's reaction

778
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: to that, considering where you caught the ball in the

779
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: end was excited. He was excited. He knew like he'd

780
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: been preaching like every week to have a big play

781
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: on special teams, no matter what. He had, just have

782
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: a big play on special teams, and yeah, we needed

783
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: a big play at the half time, so he would

784
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: just have you at the end result. Yeah, did you

785
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: think you're gonna score on that play? Yeah? I mean

786
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: you were only about a half a block away. I

787
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: mean that's all you needed, right, Not a play like that?

788
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: What does a play like that due to the team?

789
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: What does it do to the sideline when you have

790
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: a play like that where you get all the way

791
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: down the field, as I said, the offense took over

792
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: and plus territory in fact inside the red zone, what

793
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: does that do to kind of energize the team and

794
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: act as a catalyst that comeback? Oh, that just that

795
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: just give pretty much put hope back on our side. Um,

796
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: get the momentum back, and now everybody is up and

797
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: ready and happy and joyful and excited. And then that

798
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: brings the crowd into the game as well, and we home.

799
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: So and that that kind of like kills the way

800
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: team vibe is. Will somebody like damn, that just happens,

801
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: So now they like search I'm trying to see what

802
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: can they do to stop us? Now? So, yeah, that's

803
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: Dallas Flowers with US rookie cornerback and return man for

804
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And uh, that's that's one of many,

805
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, big moments, signature moments for you in your career,

806

807
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,640

808
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: franchise on Monday Night football. What did that do to

809
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: your confidence? Um? It definitely helped me a lot. Um,

810
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: Like you said, that was my first return and it

811
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: was week week thirteen. Yeah, well your second one on

812
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: the season. But yeah, yeah, so, I mean it gave

813
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: me a lot of confidence. I knew, I know that

814
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: I can do this. I'm saying it's me. I've been

815
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: doing this my whole life. Um, it just gave me

816
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: another another, another step my COMPI you know, Bubba and

817
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: the coaches gaming the opportunity. They trust me to go

818
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: back there, and I'm just happy I just made made

819
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,600

820
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: many reps do you get in practice? I get rest

821
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: of return, me and Isaiah switch off. I get plenty

822
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: rest of return? And is it just a coach's decision

823
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: on who's back there when, that kind of thing during

824
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: the game and in practice. Yeah. Now you've been active

825
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: every game since week number five again in your rookie campaign,

826
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: made the team as an undrafted free agent at a

827
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh State. For you, how is the season going for you?

828
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: How would you classify your rookie campaign here? I say

829
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's going pretty well, going pretty well. Um,

830
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm definitely blessed to be here. You

831
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I say, I say it's going

832
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: pretty well. And like I said, you're having to balance

833
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: You're having to balance the defensive game plan on a

834
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: weekly basis because you never know when your number is

835
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: going to be called there, but also on special teams

836
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: where you're not only kicking or returning kicks, but you're

837
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, doing punts and punt returns. I mean, you're

838
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: a core special teams player on this team. What's a

839
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: weekly or I should say, what is a normal week

840
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: for you? Balancing all of that that you have on

841
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: your plate there? To be honest, Um, just like you said,

842
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: waiting on my call for defense, um, special teams, I

843
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: could literally go from gunner to corner on punk return,

844
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: to punk returner, to kick off to kick returner. So

845
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: I could play about five six different positions on special

846
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: teams itself, right, So I just got to be ready

847
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: when my name is called and just and just liking

848
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: on those four or five or six different positions, just

849
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: to be ready. Right. And then in college you were

850
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: the guy, right, you mean, you were the man, especially

851
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: on defense, you know, on all the different spots or

852
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: stops that you had in your college career Pittsburgh State.

853
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: And now you're again in your first year here with

854
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: the Colts focusing just on special teams. How difficult has

855
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: that been for you to go from playing every down

856
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: on defense to carving out your niche in the NFL

857
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: on special teams. It's kind of it's kind of different

858
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: because that that haven't really been my robe. But in

859
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: a way, I've always been like like a dark horse,

860
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, an underrated player because coming out I went

861
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: to any high school and I finished had a Division

862
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: two school. So I've always kind of been like a

863
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: hidden gym, you know what I'm saying. But then when

864
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: my name get called, and I always rise to occasion.

865
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: So I believe that's gonna be the same with this situation. Yeah,

866
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh State, I mean, for those that don't know, that's

867
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: a very underrated college football program. They've won a couple

868
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: of national championships. What did that stop for you? What

869
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: did that mean for you in your development in your

870
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: path to the NFL? It meant a lot um And

871
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: they wanted to see me on a higher level showcase

872
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: my talents, and I did there and like piss State

873
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: is a number one. Um got the motionals in Division

874
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: two history, they got a lot of players that played

875
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, such as Joe Brown receiver. So I mean

876
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: it helped a lot. Um. The fans they're great, the

877
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: coach is great, The atmosphere is crazy. Uh. It may

878
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: sound small like Division once, but on average we get

879
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: about twelve thousand fans everything. So I mean, yeah, it

880
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: was it was fun. Else it was exciting too. So

881
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and you and again and your your prior

882
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: stops in college? He played football and basketball on scholarship.

883
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: When did you focus just on football? Um? I played

884
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: basketball probably my first two years of college. And I

885
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: sat down with like my family, my brother, my little brother, UM,

886
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: and like other coaches, they was like, if you're serious

887
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: about football, league, got legitimate think you gotta shout of

888
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: making to the next level. Yeah, so I waited my options.

889
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: You know, basketball it's six six point guards. You know

890
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's two rounds of thirty picks. Sixty

891
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: picks vers a seven round. Yeah, you know, I play

892
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: the odds there, right, So that's that's pretty much what

893
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, what position did you play in basketball?

894
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: Combo wanted two? Okay, all right? And now you could

895
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: fill it up, you could shoot it there. When when

896
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: did you think the NFL was a dream that you

897
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: could realize? Um? To be honest, growing up, I know

898
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna making one of them basketball and football.

899
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: But then when I want once I started to like

900
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: actually fill it probably like twenty nineteenth season. Okay, Yeah,

901
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: that was my that was my goal. So that was

902
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: Flowers right there with Matt Taylor on Cole's Happy Hour.

903
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: This may not reachs where it's intended to, but I

904
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: mentioned a little bit earlier. We had Bob Level on

905
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: as we normally do on a Friday, and this is

906
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: it's not an opening weekend for all of high school

907
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: boys basketball around here because some are already underway, but

908
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: for a lot of these football tradition type of schools,

909
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: they hold off until now to start their season. But

910
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: this is interesting because I played games there before. A

911
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: shout out to the Eel Tank, the Eel Tank home

912
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 1: of the Eminence Eels. So apparently, from what I gather,

913
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: the story goes Eminence hosting North Central of Farmersburg in

914
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: their home opener, and evidently a tractor hit a light

915
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: pole in and around Eminence and has knocked out power

916
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: to Eminence and to the high school. So they are

917
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: struggling at least at this point to try to get

918
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: the power back on. So there's a shout out to Eminence.

919
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: I have played there before. Yeah, fantastic, small farming community,

920
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: but shout out to Eminence. Eminence in North Central here

921
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: is hoping not North Central in Marion County, but North

922
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: Central in Sullivan County, that's Farmersburg. Hopefully they get their

923
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: game under way and the power back on over there

924
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: later on tonight. All right, we'll close out things coming
