00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait. I've always loved Thanksgiving, even though

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I didn't I wasn't always a big participant, but you know,

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: it was, you know, the greatest the greatest thing about

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: this holiday is it's three great things. It's food, family,

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: and football and more than any other more than any

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: other holiday really. So yeah, really looking forward to it.

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: You know, excited about these next six weeks. You know,

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: we talked last week. I said the back seven, you know,

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: was gonna be. It was gonna be. We're gonna have

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: to earn it. And obviously we had a little bit

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: of a fallback last week. But you know, you go,

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: you go, as I say, you go right out of

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: the frying pan into the fire with Houston. You know,

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: I think we have to acknowledge that we struggled a

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: little bit in the last three weeks. Not certainly not

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: a panic situation, but certainly struggled in some areas, you know.

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: And our two rivals, you know, are surgeon I mean,

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: the Texans have won three in a row and Jacksonville

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: has won two in a row. They only lost three

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: weeks ago, was actually to Houston. So you've got surging

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: teams that are you know, playing really well. And again,

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: just like we said, we're in the back stretch. We've

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: got it all in front of us. There isn't anything

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: really we don't control. But it's gonna take your a game,

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. There can't be any flaws.

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of wiggle room because the division

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: has closed on us a little bit.

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, big swing game coming up on Sunday between the

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Cults and the Texans. Yeah, all right, let's just get

56
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: it out of the way. Though, When are you making

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: that famous venturi Italian salad before tomorrow's festivities and remind

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: us what actually goes into it?

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: Well, that will be tomorrow morning. Okay, that will be

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. And you know it isn't uh my wife,

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: My wife does the real what we call the Italian salad.

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Now that's rice and Italian sausage and fennel, and it's

63
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: it's just very unique to her family. We call it

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: a salad. It's not really a salad. Now. I do

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: make the actual conventional salad with lettuce and peppers and

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: onions and apple. I cut up apples and then I

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: have them. I have a mix of different vinegars and

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: different oils that I then season it with. So yeah,

69
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: I work at Everybody seems to like it. Uh, you

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: know Sherry's deal with the rice. Uh, you know, we'll eat,

00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: we'll eat, We'll eat off that for about a week,

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: We're all we're all going to Jason's because you know,

Speaker 2: we'll have everybody there except Marion. She'll be here for Christmas,

00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: but she won't be here now. So yeah, I love

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: the I love it. Like I said, in the old days,

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: when I was coaching and people asked me, you know,

80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: what are you doing for Thanksgiving? I used to say,

81
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm working on the red zone. What the hell you

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,760

00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: teriy you're you're a pretty tough guy to talk to

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: while football is on in the background. Am I right

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: about that?

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: Well? You know, I will, I will be able. Actually

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: when we eat, it's going to be the Chiefs and

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, ye Packers, and I've always been big on that.

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: On that first one, you know, I'm going back to

94
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: my childhood, you know, in the fifties, you know, the

95
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers in the in the Detroit Lions.

96
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: That was just I mean, and you know, we didn't

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: have the exposure that we have today, Like twenty five

98
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: games you had that game, and we were in the

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Central time zone back in Illinois, so that game was

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: on like eleven in the morning, and I mean, we

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: couldn't wait for that game. So I still I still

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: like that opening game, to tell you the truth. I

103
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: get really fired up for that.

104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: One, no question about it. As do. I can't wait

105
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: for Man, I hope you guys have a great day.

106
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: I hope everybody else listening does as well, on a

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: day to kind of step back and gain some perspective

108
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: on all that we have to be grateful for and

109
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: very grateful here to be talking football with Rick Van

110
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: Turrey right here and right now, as we do every

111
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday during the regular season. And Rick, before we go

112
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: all in on the Texans here, I do want to

113
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: recap for this audience to what kind of happened the

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: fallout in Kansas City and the things that have to

115
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: be examined now for the Colts as they've now lost

116
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: two of their last three, and you know, Sunday against

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: the Chief certainly a tough pill to swallow. They led

118
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty to nine going into the fourth quarter and then depressingly,

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: they were out gain two thirty six to eighteen the

120
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: final twenty three minutes or so of that game, including overtime.

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: So give us just the ball points on the fallout

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: and just the disappointing effort that was for the Colts

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: in Week twelve.

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, it was, it's a tough pill

125
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: to swallow. The magnitude and I think even more importantly

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: is I felt really good after three quarters. I really

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: did at twenty to nine. You know, I felt like

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: our defense was given up yards, but they weren't given

129
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: up points, which is important against Mahomes. You know, I

130
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: think they had that, you know, pretty much under control

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: if you will. You know, I thought our offense was

132
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: really sharp, even though they didn't have many plays in

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: the first half. You know, Danny was sharp in the

134
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: first half. They were stopping JT. But you know, the

135
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: others stood up. I mean, we got touchdown, you know,

136
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: the Ogle tree we got to catch underneath, to Cox

137
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: got a big play to dueling, so you know, everybody

138
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: and our special teams was terrific. I mean we were

139
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: terrific covering kicks and you know, and really right down

140
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: to the end, we were really good on special teams

141
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: because really Sanchez gave us a great shot. I mean,

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: he forced kicks. I mean they started first and ninety

143
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: and first and ninety eight. I mean, but you know,

144
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's really all about finish.

145
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: You and I've gone through this a million times. Games

146
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL are determined in the fourth quarter. They

147
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: really are. The majority of have an outlier sometimes, but

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: pretty much it's how you play in that fourth quarter

149
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: and they just totally outplayed us. They really did. They.

150
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: You know, they were you know, particularly offensively. You know,

151
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: I just feel like we lost our way. I felt

152
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: like once they started rolling on us, they had JT

153
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: bottled up. We weren't getting separation. Danny and even she

154
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: I thought I thought they played tight in the in

155
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. He kind of like they lost their way.

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: They weren't fluid in decision making. Shanes even alluded to it.

157
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: You know, we just we just didn't look sharp. The

158
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 2: you know it's chronicle. The four to three and ounce

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: just killed this. I mean it absolutely killed us because

160
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: we got no production then on offense, and that just

161
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: kept giving the ball up and you know, we really

162
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: could we were we were containing them, we weren't really

163
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: stopping them. I mean they got you know, four hundred

164
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: and ninety two yards and two thirty six like you say,

165
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, and so it just really all

166
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: fell apart. And he still had to pull it out

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: with that last drive and like he can do and

168
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: we know he can do it. You know, I would

169
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: say the biggest thing that, you know, the biggest thing

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: you got to take out of it, and you always

171
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: have to find solutions. Don't cry over what happened, but

172
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: learn from it. We got to understand now that there

173
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: are some patterns and the things that trouble me a

174
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: little bit is and nobody will play totally like Spagnola.

175
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: But he had the formula. He really did. He got

176
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: in heavy fronts and more importantly what he did and

177
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: I knew he would. He fired those linebackers on those

178
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: early downs. I mean he fired him even on that

179
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: third and one. You know, that cost us the game

180
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: in a way. You know, he fires Tranquil from the

181
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: left side, he goes up and you know, throws a

182
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: four yard loss. But what all that did, all that

183
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: firing inside outside It closed the running lanes for john

184
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: other than Jonathan's shortyard is where we popped that outside,

185
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: you know for that one game. I mean they really

186
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: had them stuff. So you know, sometimes you say, well,

187
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: and I would be critical, and I think Shane is.

188
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: I just thought the worst decision making was the last

189
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: series of the first half that we threw three straight.

190
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: At the time, I was like, the balls at the

191
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: fifty now, even though we're not getting it to him,

192
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: just you know, think players, not plays. We only need

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: about a first down and a half and we go

194
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: up six, you know, which is a hell of a

195
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: lot different. Plus you eat some clock and you know,

196
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: we just did we didn't do it. We threw three

197
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: straight passes and they stuffed us, you know, basically on

198
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: all of them. So, you know, I think the biggest

199
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: thing is how are we going to handle that? Because

200
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: you know, we've been blitzed pretty heavily now by Atlanta,

201
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 2: you know, and by and by these guys, and then

202
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh took away to run. I mean in the Pittsburgh game,

203
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: he as forty five, yes, fifty eight this week. And

204
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: what it really proves, it gives the defense the It

205
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: just says to the defense, get up and stop twenty

206
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: eight blitz the rest of them, press their receivers, and

207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: they're not going to get separation. They're not gonna get anything.

208
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: So there's only two ways you can go on it. Okay, offensively,

209
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: you there's one of two things you can do. Okay.

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: One you can get in more thirteen personnel, tighter formations

211
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: and continue to pound. I don't particularly love that, but

212
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: if you're going to run it, that's what Tennessee did

213
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: all those years, you know, with the big running back

214
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: with Henry they had is they just would add blockers

215
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: to the equation and keep trying to run it and

216
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: force it in that way. But my biggest disappointment in

217
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: the game in terms of tactically was, I know Spagnola

218
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: has two Achilles heels in his approach, and if you

219
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: don't hit those Achilles heels, you're gonna get stuffed. And

220
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: he does it most week in week out. Number One

221
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: is screens. Okay, because all that pressure, all that blitzing,

222
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: you become vulnerable to screen. As a matter of fact,

223
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: we hit one to warn he took a downfield for

224
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: a sizeable game. But here's what we didn't do, and

225
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: this was something I prescribed a week ago, is you

226
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: have to take your shots on the outside, one on

227
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: one max protection so that they're not going to get

228
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: the blitz and we need to take pierce and take

229
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: five six shots on the corner. Because if you ever

230
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,119
Speaker 2: look at Spagnola over the years when they failed, it's

231
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: how is it? It's big plays downfield on the corners

232
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: because to play the way he does, he has to

233
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: and those corners are pretty good. I'm not going to

234
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: deny that, but you have to you can't come out

235
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 2: of that game, you know, and get stuffed on the

236
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: run and not have taken those shots. So the only

237
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: reason I'm saying that not to be critical, but as

238
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: we go forward, teams are nobody is exactly the same

239
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: in U and Texans are not nearly as exotic as

240
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Will get into that, but you have to

241
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: be ready for that. I mean, we've got to be

242
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: able to solve that. You know, it's two out of

243
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: three weeks. Now you take away Jonathan, We're done, and

244
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: we can't let that happen, you know. And defensively, you know,

245
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: it's just a struggle. It's really a struggle without Buckner.

246
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: There's there's no doubt about it. We can't we can't

247
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: get quick pressure. You know, the running game. We've given

248
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: up one hundred and forty hundred and forty eight. I mean,

249
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 2: all you had to do was look at how Andy

250
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: attacked us to know what you have to get better at.

251
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: So you know, I mean, those are the issues you

252
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: got to come out of there. But everybody's different, and

253
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: we'll get into de Texans. Their detections are very difficult,

254
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: very very I think they're very good, but They're very

255
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: different than the Chiefs.

256
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: This problem is not going away for the Colts. They

257
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: have seen the fifth most blitzes in the NFL. And again,

258
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: to keep it simple, I think teams know if they

259
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: sit back and play coverage and rush for is going

260
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: to be a long day for him. Plus two, I

261
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: think pressure is just in the DNA of a lot

262
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: of defensive coordinators. So this offensive line and the skill

263
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: players on the outside needing to win those one on

264
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: one matchups, it becomes paramount every week. It has to

265
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: be a focus because this problem for the Colts it

266
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: just isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

267
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And the other thing on defense is

268
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,359
Speaker 2: we've got to do a much better job of protecting

269
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: the pass in the middle of the field. Our corners

270
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: will be good on the outside, but you know what

271
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: they do is they're going to stack you. They're going

272
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: to run those runaway routes on man. When you're playing

273
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: area zone, they're going to find the cracks. And it's

274
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: particularly hard against Mahomes because he extends and he extends

275
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: the time that you have to cover. You know, we're

276
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: not gonna we're not gonna be seeing him weekend and

277
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: week out, thank god, because he did when he had to.

278
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: He did what he had to do. But yeah, no,

279
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: you're exactly right on that, Matt. You have to correct

280
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: it because this is a copycat league and they're just

281
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: gonna keep coming. And where they're gonna keep coming is

282
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: those fires on first down. Just make sure JT doesn't

283
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: keep us ahead of the count on the running game.

284
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: Well said right there, All right, Rick fin Turrey. Let's

285
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: turn our focus now on the challenge that awaits the

286
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: Colts here in the form of the Houston Texans. All right,

287
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: So here's the setup on the big picture for Houston

288
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: as the Colts are playing their first game, by the way,

289
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: inside the AFC South since Week eight, six games left

290
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: for the Colts, four of them against the Texans and

291
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Indianapolis two to zero in the AFC South.

292
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: But the Texans are already three and one and they

293
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: only have two division games left on the season, both

294
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. So Houston and the Colts they

295
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: know each other in credibly well. That has produced some

296
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: of the very very close games we have seen in

297
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: this series. Lately. The Texans have topped the Colts three

298
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: straight times, dating back to Week eighteen of the twenty

299
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty three season, and Houston has won those games by

300
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: combined nine points. That's it. In fact, the last six

301
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: games in this series have been decided by an average

302
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: of three and a half points per game. So you

303
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: look at Houston on the season, they started horribly. They

304
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: lost their first three games. They were tight games, but

305
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: since then they've won six of their last eight. They're

306
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: on a three game winning skid and they bring that

307
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: into Lucas Oil Stadium coming up this weekend. And again,

308
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: by the way, all five of the Texans losses this

309
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: season have been by one score, so they're in every

310
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: single game this season. They're also kind of well rested

311
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: right to a degree. They played on Thursday Night Football

312
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: last week, and in that game they beat the Bills

313
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: twenty three to nineteen, where backup quarterback Davis Mills did

314
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: just enough and the Texans stellar defense. They were the

315
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: headlines as to why the Texans came out victorious in

316
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: that game. But this week, the Texans get franchise quarterbacks CJ.

317
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Stroud back in the lineup. He's missed the last three

318
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: games with a concussion and he'll try to add a

319
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: spark to that Texans offense that's desperate for some scoring.

320
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: They've only been over twenty points just three times this season. Meanwhile,

321
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: the Texans defense, they will look to keep it rolling.

322
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that unit obviously in much

323
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: more detail coming up on the blueprints. But the defense

324
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: ranks top five basically in every major category, giving up

325
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: only sixteen points per game. Because they've got a dynamic

326
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: duo up front Danil Hunter and Will Anderson Junior. Those

327
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: guys deserve a heavy spotlight coming up in more detail

328
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes, Rick Fintury. But that's the

329
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: outlook on the Texans, my friend. What else do you

330
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: want to hit on them coming into this game? On

331
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: the big picture?

332
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, on the biggest of pictures. Before I narrow

333
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: it down a little bit, I think when you look

334
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: at the Texans and they look at themselves, I think

335
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: philosophy is played great defense and don't turn it over

336
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: and that will and that's manifested statistically. Uh, you know,

337
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: and I always look at a team and I say,

338
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, how can they beat us? Why are they dangerous?

339
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: Number one? You said it that you know it's a

340
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: terrifically talented defense. Number Two, they have a plus ten

341
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: turnover ratio. They don't give it up. They take care

342
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: of the ball. Number Three, they've gotten solid quarterback. Basically

343
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: when when when Stroud comes back, he's still the ninth

344
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: best court QBR guy, and Mills is three and oh

345
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: and played his tail off, and then they have a

346
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: premier receiver in Collins, So you know, I mean those

347
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: are kind of the real big picture. You know, this

348
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: is a well well coached team. We know that. I

349
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: think I think Tomko I date myself. I went back,

350
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: I worked to Miko out as a player coming out Obama.

351
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: You know, he was a thousand tackle guy in college,

352
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: and you know, they reflect him a lot. They reflect

353
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: his personality and his toughness, you know, you know, and

354
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: this is his third year and he's already been to

355
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: two playoffs and two division championships. So you can't underestimate

356
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: the job that he's done. You know. On offense, you know,

357
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 2: they've stayed alive. You're exactly right, they've stayed alive. And

358
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: I have to give Mills a lot of credit. I mean,

359
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: he filled in and I think he's the premier backup

360
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: in the league really always have. I like him coming

361
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: out and he's given him that boost. They will come

362
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: back with Stroud. I don't know if that's a good

363
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 2: thing or a bad thing when you've won three games

364
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: with another guy. Obviously, the key guy for them, the

365
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: key guy, the ambient player on that offense is Collins.

366
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 2: He's the guy. We'll talk about him in detail, but

367
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: he is a premier guy. We have struggled with him.

368
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: We have to have an answer for him. Now They've

369
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: got some good young kids that are emerging marks the

370
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: running back. I like him. Higgins is almost a Collins

371
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: clone on the other side as a wide out, and

372
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: he is really emerging, another big guy at six four

373
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: two eighteen and really looking good. And then Noel, who

374
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: is his teammate in college, is really a good gadget guy,

375
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: slot guy, return guy. And then of course we know

376
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: Schultz over the years. You know he's a high volume catcher.

377
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: I think he has like fifty one catches, I mean.

378
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: And then Kirk, who we know for years for different teams,

379
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: is a really good possession guy. In terms of their deal,

380
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: I'm not high on their offensive line. I think you

381
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: can beat them on the edges. I think they struggle

382
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: on the edges. I think you can stun them to

383
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: death inside and again they've struggled. They're twenty first in scoring,

384
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: nineteenth total and you know in their twenty eighth in

385
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: third down and the weakest part of their team both

386
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: sides of the ball, and we'll get into this is

387
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: red zone. They are a bad red zone team, both

388
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: on offense and defense, and I think that's a critical

389
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: thing in winning the game. You know, they have in

390
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 2: the past run the ball pretty well on us, and

391
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: we haven't had the answer to Collins. We got to

392
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: find it Defensively. They light it up. They light up

393
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: the scoreboard, with the exception of red zone. They light

394
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: it up. You know, number two on the score they

395
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: have been number one all year. They went to number

396
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: two this week and number one total again. To me,

397
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: they really reflect Demiko. They are not complex. They're one

398
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: of the most basic teams, but they do. They play

399
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: everything hard. They match you in coverage. In other words,

400
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: they may be in cover four, but you're not getting

401
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: the open areas. They're gonna come and get you. They're

402
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 2: gonna match underneath. They've got good secondary guys. You know,

403
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 2: Stingley is a premier corner on the left side, and

404
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: I have to say that Lasseter is a much better

405
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: player than I thought he would become. I thought he

406
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: was speed deficient, but he plays that other side and

407
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: he's really good. You know, Bullock and Brian are really

408
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: good safety's peatree. I mean, they're just pretty talented all

409
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: over the place. And of course it starts and ends

410
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: with those two edge guys. Those are the guys, and

411
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: we'll get into it. You can't let ruin your game.

412
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Hunter and Anderson already already have twenty one

413
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: and a half sat right, you know, they had eight

414
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: of them last Thursday against Buffalo. I mean, they're just really,

415
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: really good in that sense. Again, they're not real complex.

416
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: They're not a big blitzing team by nature. They may

417
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: up that a little bit, but man oh man, do

418
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: they play hard and get after you and pursue like hell.

419
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 2: So you know again again they're living and dying on

420
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: defense and not turning the ball over. It's good turnover

421
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: ratio in that respect. In the kicking game, you know,

422
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: they can kick it Fairbaran can kick it. I think

423
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: they've struggled a little bit on coverage and I I

424
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: do like Nowell as a return guy. So you know

425
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: that's kind of the big picture skivvy.

426
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: All right, well done right there on the blunt view

427
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: of the Houston Texans coming into this game. Let's talk

428
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: x's and o's now and get into the pathways for

429
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: success if you will, for the Colts in this game.

430
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: So the Texans are six and five, they're a game

431
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: over five hundred, but it's not really because they're blowing

432
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: teams away on offense. Davis Mills, as you said, has

433
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: quarterback the Texans in each of the last three games

434
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: while CJ. Stroud was sidelined with the concussion. Well that

435
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: ends this week. Stroud is set to make his return

436
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: to the lineup. So in totality, this is a Texans

437
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: offense that's very sluggish, scoring only twenty two points per game.

438
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: They've eclipsed over twenty points just three times on the season.

439
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: Their rushing attack ranks twenty third, passing attack ranked sixteenth,

440
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: and they've been brutal inside the red zone and scoring touchdowns,

441
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, scoring touchdowns forty four percent of their

442
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: red zone drives. That's second worst in the NFL. But

443
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: where they've been good this season is ten taking care

444
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: of the football and holding onto the ball. They've only

445
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: turned the ball over nine times, and they've got the

446
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: fourth highest time of possession in the NFL, holding onto

447
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: the ball for an average of thirty one minutes per game.

448
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: And by the way, they've won time of possession in

449
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: seven of their eleven games and they're five and two

450
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: in those contests. That's a big part of their formula.

451
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: They're a very well coached team under Demiko Ryans, and

452
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: he is really good at making in game adjustments. Evidence

453
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: of that is what you call Rick Venturi the roundabout,

454
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: all right, that's the last four minutes of the first half,

455
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: in the first four minutes of the second half. That

456
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: middle eight is where the Texans have thrived. They are

457
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: plus twenty eight on the season in scoring margin in

458
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: that middle eight period of the game. That's third best

459
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So CJ. Stroud, he's the franchise quarterback.

460
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: He's in year number three. He's already top four in

461
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: club history and passing yards and passing touchdowns and completions.

462
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Nico Collins is their biggest weapon in the passing game,

463
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: almost seven hundred yards this season and Earlier this year,

464
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: he moved into fifth place in club history in catches,

465
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: and since twenty twenty three, he's averaging eighty one receiving

466
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's the seventh most in the NFL

467
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: during that time, and he has been an absolute Colts killer.

468
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: In his last three games against the Colts. He's over

469
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: one hundred yards in all three meetings, averaging one hundred

470
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: and fifty two receiving yards in those games. In six

471
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: total games against the Colts, his yards per catch average

472
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: is a whopping eighteen point nine, and he has receptions

473
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: of seventy five and fifty five thrown in there as well.

474
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: All right, don't forget about Dalton Schultz in the passing game.

475
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: Since he linked up with the Texans in twenty twenty three,

476
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: he ranks fourth and catches and receiving yards among tight

477
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: ends in the AFC. The running game moves through rookie

478
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Woody Marx and veteran Nick Chubb. Marx was drafted in

479
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: the fourth round in a Mississippi state, and Chubb is

480
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: a veteran over seven thousand career rushing yards. He's one

481
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: of nine active runners in the FELL to reach that milestone,

482
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: so that's a lot Rick fin Turry, I admit it.

483
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stop it right there. You pick it

484
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: up with the Texans on offense and lay out your

485
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: blueprints for the Colts defense coming up on Sunday.

486
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big thing. And they're fairly basic on offense too.

487
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: They don't want to make mistakes. Like I said before,

488
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna play great defense. They're not going to turn

489
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: it over. They're trying to possess the ball. They want

490
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: to run it. They're not great in running it, you know,

491
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: they're nineteenth in yards per but they want to run

492
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: the ball. They want to possess the time of possession.

493
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: They don't. They're going to want to win the turnover battle,

494
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: and they want to swarm and feed off their defense.

495
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: When you look at their offense, it's a three ratio team,

496
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: a lot more twenty one than you normally would see,

497
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 2: you know, with a full back in the game, and

498
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: then number twelve with two tight ends in the game,

499
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: and eleven with three wide receivers. Now the one thing

500
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: you got to be alert for. We'll talk about it

501
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: in the booth Sunday. They use fifty five, okay, fifty seven,

502
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: number fifty seven as an extra tight end a lot.

503
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: It's not just in short yardage. It's not just every

504
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: once in a while. They use him in there a

505
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: lot to try to make sure they have a big

506
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: blocker in there, whether it's twelve, whether it's you know,

507
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: whether it's twenty one. Even sometimes in eleven, they'll run

508
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: three wide receivers and he's the tight end, so be

509
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: alert for that. That's where they're uniquely a little bit different.

510
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: They would like to pound, They would like to eat

511
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: that clock with Marx and Chubb. And then what they

512
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: love with it is play passes. Now, what they do

513
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: they like to get in strong sets, and we're seeing

514
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: this more and more. When you have that big X receiver,

515
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: they want to get in strong sets, whether regardless of

516
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: the ratios, and give you heavy playfake and they'll go

517
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: max protection if they if they have to, and they

518
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: want to work the ball back week side to Collins,

519
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 2: who will be back there isolated one on one. I

520
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: want you to come over play the strong side of

521
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: the field, the strong side of the sets, and they're

522
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: gonna come back to him, you know, fifty to fifty balls,

523
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: deep balls, possession balls, and then if he goes inside.

524
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 2: If he's ever inside, then you got to be alert

525
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: for the over routes to him. But he is, There's

526
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 2: no question about it. He is. I refer to him

527
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: as a colt killer. And if you're rolling the coverage backwards,

528
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: the emerging guy is Higgins on the other side, big

529
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: kid from Iowa State at six four to two eighteen

530
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: who almost looks like a clone. I think they've hit

531
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: on him a lot of stacks, a lot of bunches. Again,

532
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: when it's short yardage, like short yardage nickel, like third

533
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: and three or four. You really got to be alert

534
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: now for Schultz, and you got to be alert for Kirk.

535
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: You know Kirk I believe was in Jacksonville before he

536
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: went over there. He's a he's not a fast guy,

537
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: but he's a cute guy. He's a real possession guy.

538
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: They also like Schultz in that orange red zone. They

539
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: love to run him down the seams when they get

540
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: close to that scoring area. Okay, and then again Ogun,

541
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: but Wally is their third down back. He will come in.

542
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: He's been around, We've seen him, I feel like a

543
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: thousand times. But he will come in and be that

544
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: because he's a better pass blocker. Marx right now is

545
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: not a good pass blocker. If they left him, you

546
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: could collapse him again. But he will come in there.

547
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: I guess in a nutshell before I get into the specifics,

548
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: it's take away the run, take away collins, and kill

549
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback. It really really comes down to that, and

550
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: basically our blueprint, our defensive blueprint. I think, first of all,

551
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: you do have to stop Marx in Chubb. You know

552
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: they're nineteenth and rush perr. But if you don't stop

553
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: at cold, then their quarterbacks are going to play in

554
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: a rocking chair and you can't do that. They're too

555
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: good to do that. You know, be alert again for

556
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: those jumbo packages. They're heavy run. Not that they won't throw,

557
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: but they're heavy run. And I think we just have

558
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: to control the line of scrimmage. We're not doing that,

559
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: and we have to control that line of scrimmage and

560
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: get a head in the count. You know, Marx is

561
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: improving every week. You gotta stop him and put protection.

562
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: You got to put protection issues on their back and

563
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: offensive line. And the only way to do that is

564
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: to create those second and longs and then third and lungs,

565
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: and that's by controlling first down number two and you

566
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: could have put this one, but I think they're intertwined.

567
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: You gotta control Collins. He is ambient, you know. In

568
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: his short career he has two forty four catches fourteen

569
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: to six and he's twenty one tds and they're gonna

570
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: do everything possible to isolate him on the weak side

571
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: or occasionally inside in a stack. We cannot met. We

572
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: can't come out of here and let Collins be this.

573
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: I've said it so many times and we failed on that.

574
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: We got to stop him, scheme him when you got

575
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: to compete for that week side fifty to fifty ball,

576
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: and we just have to do it. We have to

577
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: take him away again. Higgins is coming on the other side,

578
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: but I think we have corners to match. He's big,

579
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: he's rangey sixty four to fourteen, and he can go

580
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: deep and get that fifty to fifty again. I talked

581
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: about Schultz and Kirk. You know again, Schultz is a

582
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: fifty one catch guy. He said, high volume. He's high

583
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: volume for sure. So he's their favorite scene guy when

584
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 2: they get in close or you're playing three D. And

585
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: then again, Noel, Noel is now the he's become their

586
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: gadget guy number four. You gotta dominate their offensive line

587
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: and if Mark stays in you got you gotta blitz

588
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: him and get after him Ogan, but Wally is their

589
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: third down back. Really for blocking, they are below average

590
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: on the edge in in my opinion, Brown is playing

591
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: right tackle. Seri the rookie on the left side. They're big,

592
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: ponderous guys. I think you can beat them with speed

593
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: and cut in the edge. I think on the inside

594
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: they have a hard time picking up stunts, particularly on

595
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: their right side. I don't think they can pick up

596
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: and so this has to be a big issue. And

597
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: in this case you have quarterbacks with some mobility, but

598
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: you can turn this loose. You don't have them homes

599
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: where you have to have that as you say, that

600
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: vertical rush all the time. This is these are guys

601
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: you got to get up and get after. And I

602
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: think number five goes with that. We got to disrupt

603
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: and ruin the quarterback to day. You know, Mills is

604
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: three and o her and is arguably the best backup

605
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: in the league. And Stroud has already established himself with

606
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: fifty four touchdowns and a lifetime passer rating of ninety

607
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: three seven. Two playoff wins, number nine in the league

608
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: right now in QB already kind of forget that. They're

609
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: very both of them, very smart, accurate and efficient. But

610
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: regardless of who, if you deny the run as a

611
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: tool and you start putting pressure on him, you'll change

612
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: the game. And we know this. This goes back to

613
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: College Stroud. Historically, when he's pressured, his efficiency falls off.

614
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: He's a rhythmic guy. He plays great in rhythm. We

615
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: have to break that rhythm, pressure him and ruin his day.

616
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: All right, that's Rick fin Turi right there with the

617
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: game plan for the Colts on defense. Here on Inside Football,

618
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. So let's move it on over to

619
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: the Colts on offense on Sunday and talk about what

620
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: they've got to do to move the ball against maybe

621
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: the best defense in the NFL is the Texans, coming

622
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: to this game boasting the second best point total allowed

623
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL at sixteen point five per game, and

624
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: last time out against the Bills, the Texans held Buffalo

625
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: to just twelve points and took the ball away three

626
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: times and gave it to their offense twice deep in

627
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo territory. They also posted their league leading ninth consecutive

628
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: game with at least one sack in one take away,

629
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: and they sack Bill's quarterback Josh Allen eight times, which

630
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: was the most sacks on Allen ever in a game,

631
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: and those eight sacks also tied a Texans single game

632
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: club record. Houston, They've held nine opponents to twenty points

633
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: or fewer. That's the most in the NFL this season.

634
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: They rank first in the NFL and total yards allowed

635
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: and third and yards per play at just four point

636
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: five And on top of all that, their six and sacks,

637
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: second and third down conversion rate in fourth and turnovers forced.

638
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: And everything for the Texans starts up front with Will

639
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Anderson and Daniil Hunter their top outstanding edge rushers. That

640
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: dynamic duo Rick Ventury has become the fifth pass rushing

641
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: pair in the NFL since two thousand and two to

642
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: each notch double digit sacks through the team's first eleven

643
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: games of the season. And check out these numbers, Hunter

644
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: and Anderson they have combined this seas for twenty one

645
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, five force fumbles, thirty five quarterback hits,

646
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: and twenty five tackles for loss. So when you extrapolated

647
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: out further, they've racked up sixty five percent of the

648
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: team sacks, fifty five percent of the team's quarterback hits,

649
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: and thirty nine percent of the team's tackles for loss.

650
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: Just two guys doing all of that, and the other

651
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: standouts on defense include the linebackers former Colts linebacker E. J. Speed.

652
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 1: They also have a z's Al Shier in the middle

653
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: of that defense. The secondary is absolutely loaded with talent.

654
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: That includes Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter at corners. The

655
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: safety duo is Jalen Reed and Kaylon Bullock, and they've

656
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: got a great nickel as well and Jalen Peatree. So

657
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: I could go into a ton of accolades on those

658
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: guys in the back end as well, but for the

659
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: sake of time, I'm just gonna stop it there. So,

660
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: Rick vent Terry, I do want to highlight one thing

661
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: you said earlier, because I think it's so true in

662
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: terms of the bottom line on the Texans. As long

663
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: as that offense, regardless of of who the starting quarterback is,

664
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: as long as they don't actively lose the game, this

665
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: Texans defense is plenty good enough to carry this team

666
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: to wins even against the best competition in the NFL.

667
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that's that's what I said before. Play play

668
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: really good defense and take care of the football. You know,

669
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: that's that is their formula, and they're capable of doing it,

670
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: you know, defensively. Again, they are not super complex, but

671
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: they are super talented, as you said, and they do enough,

672
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: really well, well knit together when you don't when you

673
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: don't do a lot of exotic stuff. What he emphasizes

674
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: is they play so well together. They knit where they're

675
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: supposed to be. Everybody's in the right spot, and then

676
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: they go from there and they play really fast because

677
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: everybody knows what they're doing. Plus they're talented, you know,

678
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: and they just reflect them. They play with passion, they swarm,

679
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: And what I like about that is they really match

680
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: your patterns underneath you even though it looks like they're

681
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: a cover four zone team or cover eight team, but

682
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: underneath you're working to get it. They're not just sitting

683
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: back in zones and letting you run free. They're gonna

684
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: try to choke you off. They're edges, just premier guys.

685
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: There's they're the two best guys. I mean, we played

686
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: two good guys at Pittsburgh, but they're nothing like these

687
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: two guys twenty one and a half. I don't have

688
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: to go through all those stats. You hit them, just

689
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: out outstanding two guys, and they can both ruin your

690
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 2: game either one. You know, they can strip it, they

691
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: can get off that edge. Just great players. You know

692
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: in in Hunter and Anderson. The other guy that gives

693
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: them a pig lift on third down is another ex

694
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 2: coat is Autrey, who's still he has sixty two career sacks.

695
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: And when those guys are on the outside, he comes

696
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: in on third down and he's on the inside. Uh.

697
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: You know with Rankens or Edwards or one of those

698
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: guys in their NASCAR package is really really formulable. When

699
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: they get third and long, you hit it on the head.

700
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: They've got some terrific perimeter players, al Shire, Stingley, Bullock, Petree, Laster.

701
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 2: I mean, those guys are just outstanding players in their position.

702
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: And Bullock is becoming an interception machine basically at safety.

703
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: If you remember, we really liked him coming out of

704
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: Southern cal a couple of years ago. And Laster, as

705
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 2: I said, is much much better than I gave him

706
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: credit coming out now. One thing because they're simple, and

707
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: this is an advantage for us now because simplicity isn't

708
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: always good. Is they don't conceal coverages like the Chiefs.

709
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: They will line up a lot of times and show

710
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: you exactly what they're gonna do. Now, like the Chiefs,

711
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: the one thing they do a lot of a lot

712
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: of fires on first down. In other words, they're bringing

713
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 2: a linebacker or a nickel off the edge. And that's

714
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: what gave us so much trouble. So we really have

715
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 2: to be good at that. For some reason, despite everything else,

716
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: despite those those video game numbers, for two years, they've

717
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: really struggled in the red zone. They've just it's hard

718
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: for me to understand why, but they really have struggled

719
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: in the red zone. And I think even though it's

720
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: not a bad statistic, they are thirteenth in the league

721
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: and rush per against, So they're not necessarily a physical,

722
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: shutdown run team. You know, red zone and run the ball,

723
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 2: I think are a couple of key issues. Big cover

724
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: four team, that is quarters. With matches, they'll they'll use

725
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: some other stuff, some two some six buzz, they'll get

726
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 2: some other stuff. Again, they're not if they get ahead

727
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: in the count. That's why you've got to stay ahead.

728
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: And the account on them that that NASCAR package is

729
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: really is really tough, and they're like everybody else. And

730
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: third down, they're gonna give you those mugs. They'll go

731
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: even walk them both inside, they'll go over walk one

732
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: of them up, and you know that that's everybody using

733
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: that bluff or blitz. You know, from that standpoint, you've

734
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: got to be ready for that. I just think that

735
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: you know, they've done a really good job, and it

736
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: takes talent to do this. It takes takes a lot

737
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: of talent to play simple. I mean, it really does,

738
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: because the other team knows what you're in a lot.

739
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: But I think their formula on defense is they're really

740
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 2: well knit and they found a nice balance between skiing,

741
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: nuance and aggressive play. I think if you if you

742
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: had to define them, I think that's it. In terms

743
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: of our offensive blueprint. I think when you run the ball,

744
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: you have to run right at them. You have to

745
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: go downhill and you got to go fast. Now, for

746
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: the most part, they'll get in some bear but overall

747
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: they're going to give you a bubble in the over

748
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: and I think that's where we have to pound it

749
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: right there, take pretty good splits, split them out a

750
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: little bit, and run Jonathan right down there. And if

751
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 2: they come, if they're firing, tell them to cut it back,

752
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 2: rip it backside, and get out the edge in that regard.

753
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: But and then I think you have to power to

754
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: the edge. I don't think you can just let those

755
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: two outside guys off the hook all day and let

756
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: them rush the passer. I think one of the ways

757
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: that you slow that down is to run those off

758
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: tackles and outside right at them. Now, the other thing

759
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: that hurts them and you can't live on this, but

760
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: because they go so hard and they're fast to the ball,

761
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: misdirection and gadget gadgets will affect their pursuit. Okay, again,

762
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: I still believe those two stats tell the tail they

763
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: are more athletic than physical. And I think the Colts

764
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 2: when we're on we're kind of built to dominate them

765
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: up front in the seven and JT has had some

766
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 2: really good days against them running the football number two.

767
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: And you know, it doesn't take anybody, doesn't take a

768
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: genius to know this doesn't take thirty years in the NFL.

769
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: Is you have to protect the edges. I don't care

770
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 2: what you have to do. At the end of the day,

771
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: we can't let we can't let Collins beat us on offense,

772
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: and we can't let Hunter Anderson beat us on defense. Period.

773
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 2: Those are the three ambient guys on this team. We

774
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: cannot walk out of there and say they will beat us.

775
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: You know, I think a little bit more quick rhythm, certainly,

776
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: some max pro play action and moving Jones around. I

777
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: think all those things are going to be really important,

778
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: and maybe more max protection and go after their corners.

779
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: You know, al Shire and two and two to two

780
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: can both blitz. You've got to be alert for that.

781
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: And Ausrey, to believe it or not, still has sixty

782
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: two career sacks. I think you can work underneath on

783
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: their coverage because even though they match, I think you

784
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 2: can get on linebackers one on one and I think

785
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: you can beat them. I think Warren Pittman and Downs

786
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 2: have to have big games underneath, and then I think

787
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: we have to work deep. And I think this is

788
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: going to be critical. I mentioned that before in our recap,

789
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: is if they're going to put everybody up, if they're

790
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 2: gonna commit nine guys to Jonathan Taylor and Warren. Then

791
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: we have to win on the outside and in that

792
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: cover four. The one thing they never do I always

793
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: look for always and never they never close. They never

794
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: roll to the strong side of the formation. They'll roll

795
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: to the weak side. But they're either quarters or man

796
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: back there or three D zone. And so what you

797
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: want to do is get pierced on that strong side

798
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 2: of the formation. Trust me on this strong side of

799
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: the formation, and you go after him. And I would

800
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: prefer although last year he did run by Stingley on

801
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: cover four, but I would prefer to go on last

802
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 2: or with his speed on that other side. I really would. Again,

803
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: I don't think they do a good job of concealment.

804
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: I think that'll be the Danny's advantage. I think he can.

805
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to read pretty much what

806
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: they're in is certainly in the back end. And then

807
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the day number five, I just

808
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: think you got to play a clean game. The one

809
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: thing that they you know, despite the turnover ratio, they

810
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: are number twenty in penalties, so they get penalized. You

811
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 2: know they're number twenty, So stay sharp and they will

812
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 2: falter somewhere in that game. You know they don't take

813
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 2: it away. I mean, you know, they don't give it away.

814
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: But again, if we have to play clean, no turnovers,

815
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: no sacks, even that we did better. Basically, the big

816
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: thing is we need to dominate that first down, pound

817
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: the rock, you know, protection but keep them off balance

818
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: Keith Anderson you know, and Hunter off balance. And then

819
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: we got to score in the red zone both sides

820
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: of the game. We have to win the red zone.

821
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: We're the better team statistically, it's not even close, but

822
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: we have to win both ends of the red zone,

823
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: no doubt about that. So you know, that's what I

824
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: see a challenge, but certainly one we can win.

825
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much good stuff right there. Thats pack full

826
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: of information on the blueprints with Rick Finn Turrey and

827
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: those are his charts for success here for the Colts

828
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the six and five Texans. And so

829
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: to wrap up here and kind of segue into your

830
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: final instructions for the Colts, Rake, the reality is this, right,

831
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: because of two losses in the last three games for

832
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: the Colts, coupled with teams in the AFC South that

833
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: just keep on winning, primarily the Texans and the Jaguars,

834
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: the Colts find themselves now in a dogfight for playoff

835
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: positioning and divisional positioning as well. So there's three teams

836
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: right now in the AFC South who are above five hundred.

837
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: They've got the Colts, Jaguars, and Texans. All three teams

838
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: control their own destiny. So the next two games here

839
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: are going to play a gigantic role in determining how

840
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: successful of a season this year will be for the Colts.

841
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 1: So certainly a disappointing loss to the Chiefs, but there's

842
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: no time to feel sorry for yourself because of what's

843
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: at stake and what's coming up in each of the

844
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: next two games for the Colts. Rick, You're in a

845
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: dog fight right now and you've only got six games

846
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: to figure it out.

847
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is what the the NFL is all about.

848
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's to me, it's just so exciting. I

849
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: can't believe it. And I knew it when I looked

850
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: at that back seven and I looked at things that

851
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: will developed. I said, man, you're gonna have to earn

852
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: it and we can. Again you hit the theme. And basically,

853
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: when I break it down to the players, the way

854
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: I would say it is that you know men. There's

855
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 2: absolutely no time now for self pity or crying over

856
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: spilled milk, because we are in the critical stretch now,

857
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: with six big games to go, with surging division rivals,

858
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: and with the Texans coming in. We're going from the

859
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: frying pan and arrowhead into the fire and Lucas oil.

860
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: Houston's damn good. They're very different from the Chiefs. They

861
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 2: don't give you the Casey complexity, but they are really talented,

862
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: with game changers at their edge, and they have good

863
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and their wide receiver can ruin your day. They

864
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: will play well knit, and they'll play together, and they'll

865
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: play with demiko, intensity and fire. This one will come

866
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: down to which team finds its emotional peak the highest

867
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: and plays with the most physicality. The prize is there

868
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: for us to win, but you have to earn it

869
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: and you must do it by being one to zero

870
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: after Sunday. Preparation, concentration, and signalness of purpose will be vital.

871
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: This will be a game about which team executes for

872
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 2: sixty minutes and remember this guy's finish the day, Finish

873
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 2: the day. Both players and coaches know one another well,

874
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 2: and this will be like a neighborhood street fight. This

875
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: will be a game that will be determined in the

876
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: trenches by the big boys. Again, this Sunday will not

877
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 2: be for the timid. This will be for the warriors

878
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: who come to kick ass and refuse to be denied.

879
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 2: You must come out on fire. Take it to them early,

880
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: make the Lucas Oil crowd the twelve men and take

881
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: the Texans, send them back to Texas with the worst

882
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: beating since the Alamo.

883
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: Well done. I love it, Rick Ventury. You added in

884
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: the Alamo from a historical perspective, and hopefully there's no

885
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: thanksgiving leftovers on that plane right home for the Houston Texans.

886
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely dot, just clean them to death.

887
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: Let's go. Well done as always on the final instructions

888
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: for the Colts heading into a very very important game

889
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday inside the AFC South at Lucas Oil Stadium.

890
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: By the way, the Colts are six and oh this year.

891
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: As the home team, They're going to be playing their

892
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: first home game in Indianapolis in five weeks, So, like

893
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: you said, hopefully the home crowd's going to be revved

894
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: up and looking to break a three game losing skid

895
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: to the Texans. As the Colts were swept by Houston

896
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: last year by a combined five points. Rick Venturry, great

897
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: job and excellent information per usual. Have a great Thanksgiving

898
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: with the family, and cannot wait to see on Sunday

899
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: up in the radio booth back at home at Lucas Oil.

900
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: All right, Matt, I can't wait either. You have a

901
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: great day tomorrow. Appreciate you come there with those ankle

Speaker 2: tapes on Monday.

Speaker 1: I don't know what good that's gonna do, but we'll

904
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: we'll do our best here trying to describe all of

905
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: the action for those that are possibly traveling and are

906
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: out and about on a Sunday following Thanksgiving. Rick Venturry,

907
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: right there, and that will do it for week thirteen's

908
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: look at the Texans. And as we said, we hope

909
