1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update, a look at the

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: latest with the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor from the Power Home Solar Radio Studio. Hey,

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: good evening, and welcome to the Colts Daily Update. On

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, the Colts are on a short week getting

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: ready for Thursday Night Football. Thursday's game is brought to

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: you by Lucas Oil, the official oil products of your

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Lucas Oil It works. The Colts able to

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: walk through today getting ready for the game. As players

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: save their bodies playing two games in five days, it's

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: always the challenge to get mentally and physically right when

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: you have a short week. We'll talk about that coming

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: up with Bobby o'karak on the next segment. He's playing

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: really well lately. It's pardon why the Colts slowed down

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry the other day for just sixty eight yards rushing,

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: and the Colts are trying to get over that tough

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: loss to the Titans on Sunday. The Colts are now

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: essentially four games behind the Titans and the AFC South standings,

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: but there's still nine games to play. A lot of

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: season left for the Colts to make some noise. And

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: you can't sulk on that loss on Sunday because the

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Jets proved last weekend. The NFL, it's any given Sunday

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: or in this case, any given Thursday night. The Jets

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: are kind of a weird team. They're two and five,

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: but their wins are really impressive victories over the Bengals

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: and the Titans, two teams solidly in the playoff field

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: in the AFC at the moment. Their wins are against

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: teams that are eleven and five and their losses are

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: to teams who are combined nineteen and twenty. They beat

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals last week thirty four to thirty one. They

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: were down eleven and the fourth quarter won the game

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: with backup quarterback Mike White, who was making his first

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: career NFL start. Who was Mike White? Well, He's in

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: his fifth season out of Western Kentucky. He had been

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: cut five times in his career by the Jets and

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but he started last week for the injured

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, the first round draft pick at a BYU

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: who has a knee injury, and White was sensationally three

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: for four hundred and five yards three touchdowns in the

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: win over Cincinnati. It was the first four yard game

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: for the Jets as a franchise since Benny Testaverdi's four

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: hundred yard game in two thousand. Also, as four hundred

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: and five yards passing were the most for a first

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: time starter since Cam Newton's twenty two in two eleven,

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and White It's gonna start the game again on Thursday,

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: and based on how that goes, the Jets will have

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: decision to make at quarterbacks. So New York has been

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of a roller coaster of a team all year

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: before their impressive win against the Bengals. Last week, they

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: were embarrassed by the Patriots. They lost by forty one

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: points on the road. That was tied for the seventh

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: biggest loss in franchise history and their worst loss as

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a club since losing by forty two to New England

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: in two ten. So, which Jets team's gonna show up?

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Rick Venturry answers that and gave us the scouting report

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: on New York last night on Colt's Round Table Live.

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Take a listen. I'll be honest with you. I do

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: all the background week At the end of the last week.

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: And you know when I write my summation on Saturday

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to be adjusted by the game on Sunday, you know

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: I pretty much wrote it off. I mean I I

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: pretty much saw this team as really a bottom feeder,

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: as a team that the only threat would be it

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: would be a Thursday night game and we see some

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: crazy things happen in a short week, or that the

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: Colts would be exhausted and maybe flattened, not ready to go.

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: But I'll be honest with you, they really got my attention.

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Yesterday they caught the Bengals napping to a degree, but

69
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: in the end, they really beat the Bengals. They really

70
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: did a great job. And something that's really really interesting

71
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: when they lost Wilson, you know, who is their hope

72
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: for the future at quarterback? And they brought in Mike White,

73
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: who started at South Florida ended up at Western Kentucky.

74
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, they brought him in and everybody goes, who

75
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: is Mike White? It was, you know, everybody was laughing.

76
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: But in the last two weeks, in the last six quarters,

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: listen to this. Now, he's fifty seven for seventy seven

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: with a forty seventy one point four percentage six hundred

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and seventy six hundred and seven yards, ninety three point

80
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: two passer rating, and yesterday against the Bengals he threw

81
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: for four hundred and five yards. I mean four hundred

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: and five yards I mean. And one thing about the

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: kid is he's aggressive. He's quick setting up, he gets

84
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: rid of it quick. His accuracy is a little bit erratic,

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: but he's not afraid to get after you. Now he

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: They do a great job. They've got two running backs,

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: and most of you from the draft, you know, you know,

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: basically know their running backs. The kid Carter from North Carolina.

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: I think he led the league, he led the NCAA

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: and miss tackles against him. You know, he had one

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two total yards yesterday. Williams with him.

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: They have two running backs and they just feed him

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: the ball in the passing game as much as the

94
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: running game. I called him check down Charlie, but he

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: was better than that. You know. They've got a couple

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: of solid veteran receivers in Cole and Davis, but they've

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: got two really good young kids that are come and

98
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Allie you more and Mems And then they've got a

99
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: really good slot in Crowder, he's been a really top

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: slot number eighty two for a while. A couple of

101
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: decent tight ends in Croft and Griffin, who we know

102
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: their offensive line is shaky on the right side, Uh,

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: not really good there. I think you could kill their

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: their right tackle. I think Moses is a total liability.

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: But I mean they got after it. They played their

106
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: tales off. You know, we'll get into it more, and

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: their defense came alive. It gave up a lot of yards,

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: but they got some plays. They've got some investment players

109
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: like Quinnin Wilson Williams and Rankins and Shack Lawson. Zeninga

110
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: had his first sack. I mean, they really played their

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: tails off. And ironically there their wins are against Tennessee

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: and the Bengals, And again a team that I wrote

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: off really really got my attention. I mean, they really

114
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: played their tales off. So, you know, but I think

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: that's probably a good thing because you know Joe alluded

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: to it before, is that you probably had they gone

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: out and had a bad performance Sunday, you know, and

118
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: us coming off this thing, you know, we may not

119
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: have they may not have gotten our attention. But if

120
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: you watch that tape yesterday. They will get your attention,

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: you know. And at this point, really there's only a

122
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: bit of future with us, and that's one week at

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: a time. One game. I mean, we've only won three games.

124
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Who the hell do we think we are? We better

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: be ready for Thursday night and we better play in

126
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: one week capsules, I mean, nothing else matters. That's Rick

127
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: vent Terry and that's the scouting report on the Jets

128
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: who come into town on Thursday night football. By the way,

129
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Thursday Night is the first home primetime game for the

130
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Colts since twenty seventeen, and fans attending the game are

131
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: encouraged to wear blue Colts gear to coat the entire

132
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: stadium and cults blue for the primetime audience. Frank Reich

133
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: met with the media today for the final time before

134
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: the game on Thursday, and revealed that star safety Carry

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Willis will probably not play on Thursday. He left the

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: game early on Sunday with calf and knee issues against

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: the Titans. Reich also said that Roderigo blanket Ship will

138
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: remain on ir this week, even though he's eligible to

139
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: come off that list. This will be his fourth miss

140
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: game with a hip injury, so Michael Badgeley will once

141
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: again kick for the Colts. On Thursday, the Colts also

142
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: ruled out t Y Hilton for this game with a concussion.

143
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: This will be a seventh game miss this season. And

144
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: on Monday, the Colts made some moves to their active roster.

145
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: They signed running back Deon Jackson from the practice squad.

146
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: He's the rookie running back out of Duke. He'll be

147
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: the fourth running back on the roster. They also brought

148
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: up Josh Jones from the practice squad to give the

149
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Colts some more depth at safety with Cary Willis banged up.

150
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: And then finally they released Brett Hunley from the active

151
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: roster and later signed him to the practice squad, meaning

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: that Sam Ellinger is now the backup quarterback behind Carson Wentz.

153
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: All right, that's it for segment one here on the

154
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Daily Update. When we come back, we'll hear from Colts

155
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: linebacker Bobby o'karaka on flushing out the Titans game and

156
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: getting ready for the Jets on a short week. That's

157
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: coming up next on the Colts Daily Update. We now

158
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: return to the Colts Daily Update with Matt Taylor, the

159
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840

Speaker 1: thirty here on the Fan with the Colts Free Game Huddle.

163
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: The Colts beat the Jets last year at Lucas Oil

164
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Stadium thirty six to seven, and are looking for a

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: similar result forty eight hours from now. Colts linebacker Bobby

166
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: Okarak has been spearheading the Colts rushing defense lately. The

167
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: Colts are giving up just under ninety yards in the

168
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: ground in the last five weeks. That's third best in

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: the NFL in that span, and Bobby joins us on

170
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: the line right now here on the Colts Daily Update. Bobby,

171
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: thanks for the time today. How are you, sir? Yeah,

172
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm good. It was just a short week,

173
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: so getting ready for these Jets coming up, Yeah, exactly.

174
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: It was a tough loss the other day to the

175
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: Titans in a very physical back and forth game, and

176
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: now you can't even think about that at all, getting

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: ready for the Jets on a shore week. How do

178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: you compartmentalize all of those things, getting over the loss,

179
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: getting ready for another crucial game on Thursday night, all

180
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: in about three four days. Yeah, I mean it definitely

181
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: helps with the loss kind of just you know, reset

182
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: our focus and just really get get us focus on

183
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the next opponent. But it's tough. You know, you just

184
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: played a real physical game. Again, it's a good team

185
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: and you know it's an emotional loss. But you know,

186
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: as the NFL, you got to just be able to

187
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: turn the page and move on to the next week. Yeah,

188
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: it was physical. You especially played very physical at the

189
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: point of attack. Can you put into words what that

190
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: game was like on Sunday just in terms of the

191
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: physicality during every single play and how you felt body

192
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: wise after that game on Sunday. Yeah, definitely felt sore

193
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: afterwards for sure Monday, but during the game felt great. Um,

194
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: you know the whole defense, we were flying around, we

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: were hitting. Um, I think we took pride in our

196
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: hitting and our tackling and everybody took pride. After watching

197
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: the film, obviously stuff to clean up, but definitely a

198
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: very good performance for us, especially in the run game. Yeah,

199
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: what was key in slowing down Dereck Henry. The way

200
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: you guys did Your goal going into the game was

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: to limit him to under four yards per carry, Bobby,

202
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: You limited him to under two and a half yards

203
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: per carry. How did you guys do such a good

204
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: job on the best running back in the NFL. Yeah,

205
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: I mean, first and foremost such with a defensive line,

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: those guys are a heck of a job, you know,

207
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: getting off the ball, you know, disrupting when they're getting

208
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: double team disrupting, getting the field and then really allowing

209
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: the linebackers me and Darius as I hear and EJ

210
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: to just flow. Um. You know, we flew, we flew around,

211
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: we hit, We're physical at the point of attack. And

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: then our dbs it especially good job, you know, coming

213
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: in capping off, whether it was Kenny Kenny Moore flipping

214
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: him or Sandejo George Odam. You know, guys are flying in,

215
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: so you know it was a great team defense. What's

216
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for you on your body getting ready

217
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: for a Thursday night game? What all goes into that? Yeah,

218
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean just being able to like flush the soreness,

219
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: maybe the inflammation out from the previous game. But it's

220
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: two fold because obviously you got to rest and recovered,

221
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: but then you also gotta get ready for a game.

222
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: So you got to you gotta do whatever you need fundamentally,

223
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: whether you got to hit some bags, do some footwork,

224
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: whatever you need to to get yourself physically and mentally

225
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: ready to play in the game. So, you know, we

226
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: we lean on the veteran guys, you know, guys who've

227
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: experienced this kind of have the routine, and just follow

228
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: along with them and just really mentally prepare yourself the

229
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: best way you can. It's Bobbyokerk, colts linebacker with us.

230
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: You have thirty tackles in the last three weeks. You're

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: third in the NFL and tackles in that spam. Bobby,

232
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: how much has film study and preparation gone into your

233
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: big tackle production. It's been huge. And I think I'd

234
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: be remiss not to talk about the work I've and

235
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: doing with our coach, Tyron mackenzie. He's been doing a

236
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: heck of a job getting me prepared each week, you know,

237
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: zoning in on the personnel, you know, the running back sets,

238
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: their alignments, runs were expecting. I think I've just started

239
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: playing with more anticipation, especially in the run game, and

240
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I think it's helped me take take my game to

241
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: a better level. All Right, What do you make of

242
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: the Jets on offense? They're coming off a five hundred

243
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: yard game, including over four hundred yards passing from backup

244
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: quarterback Mike White. What do you make of that guy? Yeah?

245
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Impressive really just to be able to step in and

246
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: have the top of production he had. I think he

247
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: played an efficient game. You know, he was getting the

248
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: ball out out of his hands quick. You know, he

249
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: was hitting those checkdowns to the running backs to whether

250
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: the spot rests of the receivers, and you know, they

251
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: had good, good yards have to carry. So I think

252
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: it'll be a premium for us, you know, be able

253
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: to set up in our zones and you know, sprint tackle,

254
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: make make those open field tackles, and then when it's man,

255
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, have tight coverage. And then obviously our defensive

256
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: front can help us with getting pressure on this guy.

257
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: But you know, they're a good team. They like to

258
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: play in space, they got good skill guys, and they're

259
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: big upfront. So it's another good challenge for us. All right,

260
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: last couple of things with Bobby Okak Cults linebacker with us,

261
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: what are the leaders in the locker room such as yourself?

262
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing to make sure that you

263
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: you keep your focus one game at a time. There's

264
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: nine games left this season, Bobby, anything can happen. There's

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: still a lot of time to make some noise. Yeah,

266
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: I think it talk. It goes back to the leadership,

267
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: especially the guys who were here in twenty eighteen and

268
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: when that one of the mentality was really set in

269
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: stone the first year those guys were here, um, and

270
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: really seeing how their their season turned around. Um, and

271
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: that that's the approach they took. You know, they took

272
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: every game one and oh, we're getting better every rep

273
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: each week. And you know that's the same focus we

274
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: have regardless of the result. You know, we always talk

275
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: about we're not results oriented, we're process oriented. So we

276
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: just focus on our process each week and hopefully the

277
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: result just takes care of itself. All right. Last thing

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: with Bobby Okaka, what do you think it's gonna be

279
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: like playing at home on primetime something you've never done

280
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: in your career, played at home under the lights at

281
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: night at Lucas Oil Stadium. That's a And then b

282
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: how do you personally feel like you look in all blue? Uh?

283
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's gonna beautiful at night,

284
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: especially in Lucas Oil with our fans. The atmosphere, it

285
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: was incredible on Sunday, you know, just to support you know,

286
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: how loud they were and really the the the intensity

287
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and the energy. And I feel like it's only going

288
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to be intensified Thursday night game. And I think all blue, um,

289
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully I can I can find some cleats

290
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: in this quick turn around. They're all blue too. But uh,

291
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think it'll be it'll it'll

292
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: be a great game. You know, we'll look good, hopefully

293
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: put on a good shop our fans. Yeah, no doubt
