Coming up tonight, we're gonna 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: hear from Colts new head coach Shane Steikin. He's gonna 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: tell us why he decided yep, India is the place 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: where I'm gonna land. We're also gonna find out what 14 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: his core beliefs are as a head coach and this offense. 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: We're also going to discuss what's next for the new 16 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: head coach when it comes to filling out the staff. 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: TikTok TikTok, and getting ready for the NFL combine that's 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: coming up in a few weeks. Mattay Colts introduced Eagles 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Shane steik in a press conference earlier this week. 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: You saw it, you were there. He becomes the eleventh 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: head coach since its relocation to Indianapolis here in nineteen 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: eighty four, at age thirty seven, the second youngest coach 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: in franchise history and the third youngest coach currently in 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: the NFL. Mate he coached in last week's Super Bowl. 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: He oversaw that Philly offense. They finished third in points, 26 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: third in total yards. They also scored the second most 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the NFL last season. Obviously, that's attractive doing 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: NFL franchise find the hot offensive coordination. Yeah, so's it's 29 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: really really exciting. And the question is was it the 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: deciding factor in bringing Shane steke In over I think 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: it just boils down to this guy had a lot 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: of presence, He had a lot of leadership, and the 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: fact that he does have this high, you know, offensive background, 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: this big time acumen on that side of the football. 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: That's the cherry on top. And they said they interviewed 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: a lot of different candidates, they spent a lot of 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: time with a lot of different people taking a look 38 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: at this roster, but Shane steke In was the total package. 39 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Jim Rsey said he wanted to see leadership and he 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: wanted to see presence and that face to face sit 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: down interview that they had in Philadelphia I think a 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: week or two ago, and that's exactly what he got. So, 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, Shane Steykin has had a lot of success 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: with a lot of different offenses, with a lot of 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. That's been well chronicled. And we know Jeffrey 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: offense in the NFL's winning right now if you just 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: look at the playoffs these last two years, that's pretty evident. 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: So it's not a bonus that Shane Stekin comes from 49 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: the background that he comes from, but it's more about 50 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: the guy. It's more about the character and what he 51 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: can be as the head coach, absolutely, and what he's 52 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: getting here. Mate. Like when you talk about the quarterbacks, 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, obviously, you know coming out of a second 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: round doing what he did as far as putting up production. Okay, 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: you go back to Herbert out in LA so obviously 56 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: what he did with them. He's an older guy to 57 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: that guy. But what I like about Shane Steikin is 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: he's not an older guy to Philip Rivers when he 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: worked with them, and Rivers said, this cat taught him 60 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: things about offense that he didn't know, right, So that's 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: what I like. He brings some maturity but also a 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: swagger to him. It's like I said, he's a young pup. 63 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: They're working with Philip Rivers. Now you fast forward and 64 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: he's he's coddling and nurturing Jalen Hurts yea n P. Yeah. 65 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean you go back to Herbert's rookie season, I 66 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: mean Rookie of the Year in twenty twenty. Still to 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: this day, Herbert had his best year statistically when Shane 68 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: steik was his offensive coordinator. Jalen Hurts is doing a 69 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: ton of things this year that he didn't do the 70 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: last couple of years. I mean, Hurts this year had 71 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: thirty five total touchdowns. He had thirty five total touchdowns 72 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: in the first couple of years combined in the NFL. 73 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: So he is definitely a guy that takes players to 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: the next level, gets the best out of them. And 75 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: like you said, Shane Steikin's a young guy, but he's 76 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: not He's not one of those guys that says, I've 77 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: got it all figured out and it's got to be 78 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: my way or the highway. Certainly, he's not rigid in 79 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: his offensive approach, and he's gonna look at this Colt's roster. 80 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna look at the quarterback that they obtained probably 81 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: in this offseason at some point, and he's gonna put 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: together an offense that best fit. It's the talent that 83 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: he has, the skill positions that he has in Michael 84 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Pittman Junior and Jonathan Taylor and Alec Pearson, Gelanni Woods 85 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: and make it work. It's not gonna look just like 86 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: it did last year in Philly. It's gonna be a hybrid. 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's a good thing. Considering Shane Steike 88 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: and can make it work with whatever hand that he 89 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: is dealt. I like that he said, Hey, we're gonna 90 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: throw the ball to score, We're gonna run the ball 91 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: to win. I like that philosophy. It's been around for 92 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: a while, but he was adamant in his It's a 93 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: very modern day slogan approach to the game. We're gonna 94 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: throw the buckets at you as much as we can 95 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: right out of the gate. I do like that. Mattay, 96 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: we got to talk about this though. He was asked 97 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: if he's gonna call plays as the offensive coordinator here, 98 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: not as the offensive but as an acting offensive coordinator 99 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: slash head coach. He said, he sure is. What does 100 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: that mean to you now? Because I listen he even 101 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: said it up. There's a lot of responsibilities that happened 102 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: for a head coach a lot, and you have to 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: dedicate you're doing it for the first time, right, you 104 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: have to dedicate your time and obviously effort and everything 105 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: to that playbook and the fifty plays that they come 106 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: up with each week to take on an NFL team, 107 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: you know, during the season. So my point is this, 108 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna learn on the fly on this thing. There 109 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: are things to attend to, not just the offense as 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: I head coach, no question, But why wouldn't you want 111 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Shane Steike and call in the place here? I mean, 112 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: I know Philly's got great players. At the end of 113 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: the day, NFL's about the Jimmy's and Joe's. I totally 114 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: understand that they had six Pro Bowlers on that side 115 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: of the football, including Hurtz and Smith and Brown and Kelsey. 116 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: There's still only one football and he made it work. 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: He delegated things to make that offense. Hum, I mean, 118 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: that was a well oiled machine and he was the 119 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: maestro of that offense, making a work on a week 120 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: to week basis. But why wouldn't you want him calling 121 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: the plays when they were top ten and everything? They 122 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: were top ten in situational football? Red zone, third down, 123 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: gold to go. These are all areas where the Colts 124 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: are really struggled in last week, you're hearing some names 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: for the offensive coordinator position being tossed around here. He's 126 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: meeting with with guys this week, next week to fill 127 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: out the staff and everything. So my question is that, 128 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: what's the responsibility of an OC if you got a 129 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: head coach calling plays? Mate say, well, I mean it's 130 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: big because the offensive coordinator is going to be primarily 131 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: putting the game plan together, running the show, running the 132 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: meetings throughout the week on offense, helping, you know, to 133 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: best put the skilled position players in an advantageous position. 134 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: The elephant in the room is if the Colts draft 135 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the draft, the offensive coordinator, along with 136 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Shane Steike and along with the quarterbacks coach, those guys 137 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: are gonna help mold the young franchise guy right grow 138 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: confidence and get the best out of that player in 139 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: a short period of time right away. So it's not 140 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: just a throwaway higher because you say, well, Shane Steken 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: is gonna call the plays, is gonna be his offense. No, 142 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is a huge higher because he has 143 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: to help mold the quarterback of the future if the 144 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: Colts decide to go that round in the draft. Matey. Obviously, 145 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: filling out his staff is priority number one. He's got 146 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: that on the mantel. Hey, we got to take care 147 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: of that. Give me some other stuff that he has 148 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: to take care of before we have this combine opening 149 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: up in Indianapolis in a couple of short weeks. Yeah, 150 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: I mean right now. Obviously you know it's offensive coordinator. 151 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: It's filling out the staff. We'll see what happens on 152 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: the other you know, major important roles within the offensive staff, 153 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: like again, offensive line coach, quarterbacks coach. Is he gonna 154 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: keep Gus Bradley and that defensive staff. He does have 155 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: a lot of familiarity with Gus in a lot of 156 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: those coaches like Richard Smith and Ron Milis, those guys 157 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 1: were together for four years with the San Diego Chargers. 158 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: LA Chargers from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, and in fact, 159 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: Stikeen was the OC, Bradley was the defensive coordinator, and 160 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: they would go, you know, sort of head to head 161 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: match wits every day and practice ones on ones a 162 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: couple of times throughout the course of the week.

You know, obviously, you know, it's 209 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: always a dream to be a head coach, and then 210 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: just the things I've heard about this organization, you know, 211 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: the family atmosphere, the character or the people in this building. 212 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: You know, I've had a lot of you know, relationships 213 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: that have been through this building, and there was nothing 214 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: but great things at about this place. Shane. In your 215 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: introductory press conference, you think a lot of people, but 216 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: one person you think was your high school coach, Yeah, 217 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: Chris Jones. And I'm curious when you think back to 218 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: your days in high school. How can you make the 219 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: connections from the love of football you developed then to 220 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: now being a head coach here in this position now, Well, 221 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: I think too, you know, I fostered a love of 222 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: the game because of him. I remember he would take me. 223 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: I would be like, you know, his guy, to go 224 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: to these football clinics, and he'd put me up on 225 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: stage and like, you know, i'd be as demonstrator of hey, 226 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: here's how you take a five step drop and you know, 227 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: three big, too little, and then it's one big and 228 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: too little and like all those little different things. So 229 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: we would get in this car and you know, drive around, 230 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, wherever it was two hours away and do 231 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: these these clinics and and then he'd always, you know, 232 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: he'd give me the keys, you know, to the stadium 233 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: lights at the high school at night, you know, so 234 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: Friday night instead of you know, going out to a 235 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: party or some of myself and shoot Austin Collie who 236 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: played here, you know, that was my receiver in high school. 237 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: And we'd go and we'd throw for you know, a 238 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: couple hours whatever it was. It was awesome, you know, 239 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: to be a part of that. You know, we had 240 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: a you know, a great football team there. It's a 241 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: good place, good program. They still got to go in there. 242 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: But that's how it all started. When you think back 243 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: on the moments you had in high school and now 244 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: as a coach, you get to deliver those moments two players. 245 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, you get to call the play that delivers 246 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: that singular moment that guys will remember forever. How much 247 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: gratification do you get out of that as a head coach? 248 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: Now you know what it is? It Yeah, But at 249 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's all about the players. 250 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: The players bring those plays to life. And when you 251 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: got really good ones, you know a lot of good 252 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: things are going to happen. And we had a lot 253 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: of good players in Philadelphia that I was very fortunate 254 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: enough to be around. That's Shane steik In with us, 255 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: the new head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, and also 256 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: going back to your introductory press conference, Chris Ballard said 257 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: that you guys see the game the same way. That 258 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: was clear to him during the interview process, getting to 259 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: know you, getting to talk to you without giving too 260 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: much away. What do you think he means by that 261 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: in terms of seeing the game in a similar passes, 262 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, philosophically, you know, how you look at you know, 263 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: talent players, how the game games played, all those different things. 264 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: You know. I think the one thing we want to 265 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: do obviously is you know, be fast, physical and play together. 266 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: And uh, there's somebody a lot of things that go on, 267 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, throughout this offseason, getting this team prepared and 268 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: ready to go, but excited and looking forward to the challenge.

Going with that. That 273 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: also includes the roster. When you look at the personnel 274 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: within this team, what immediately for you jumps off the page. Well, 275 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: I think obviously there's some pieces in place already, and 276 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, the defense has done hell of a job 277 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: last year. And then obviously offensively, you know, the offensive 278 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: line with Quinton, you know, and Kelly and Pittman and 279 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and the rest of those guys. A lot 280 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: of talent in place and obviously always looking to build 281 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: on that. When you you talked about your your four 282 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: pillars that you're going to come in here with When 283 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: you think about the way that those set the tone 284 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: now for an entire organization, what are you excited excited 285 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: about implementing those not just foreign offense, but for an 286 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: offense defense, special teams, coaching staff, front office, training staff, 287 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: everyone you're gonna get involved with. Yeah, I think, you know, 288 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: there's there's ways to look at it, like people can 289 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: just talk about it, but you've got to live it 290 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: every single day.

You've worked with a lot of 309 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, right, Philip Rivers and Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert 310 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: and all of those guys have different arm strings and 311 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: different backgrounds and different levels of mobility, and you seem 312 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: to find the best working with all of those guys 313 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: and bringing the best to light. How long does that take? 314 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: What is the process like working with a new quarterback 315 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: and finding his strengths and tailoring an offense around. Yeah, 316 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: it takes some time. Obviously it doesn't happen overnight. But 317 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: you got to find those strengths. Obviously, you watch a 318 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: ton of tape, see what they do well, and then 319 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: you bring him in and as coaches, you know, you 320 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: try to maximize your players potential and what they do best, 321 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: and obviously you got to adapt to the quarterback. That's 322 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: obviously how the offense will be built on. Who's back 323 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: there throwing that thing and running it and then obviously 324 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: the other players around you. You know, you got to 325 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: do what they do well. What does the offensive line 326 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: do well? The tight ends and receivers, backs, all those 327 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: things and try to max their minds of their potential. 328 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: What did your years as Philip Rivers quarterbacks coach teach 329 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: you about how to be a head coach, to be 330 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: how to connect with players, specifically a guy who'd been 331 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: in the league for so long at that point. Yeah, no, Philip, 332 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, he made me a better football coach. You know, 333 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: a guy that's seen so many things. You know, Shoot, 334 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers older than I him, you know, and I 335 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: was coaching him at the time, and just the way 336 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: he saw the game should he was obviously one of 337 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: our you know, the best player on our team, but 338 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: probably you know, one of the smarter coaches on our 339 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: team too, you know, and saw the game really well. 340 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: So I just knew as a coach when I was 341 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: coaching him, like I had to come in there ready 342 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: to go to every single meeting just like you normally would, 343 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: but just try to find some nuggets maybe that he 344 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: didn't see on film, and whether you know, whether it's 345 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: a signal from a team or whatever, I don't want 346 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: to get into details so that don't like giving away 347 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: to his think. But he was a tremendous leader, unbelievable person, 348 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: human being you know to be around. I know you've 349 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: talked about accelerated vision and how that comes with experience. 350 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: You coach Justin Herbert, then a year later set the 351 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: NFL record for rookie touchdowns. How did you learn to 352 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: coach with a player who doesn't have those years of experience? 353 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: And maybe it is working on developing that accelerat Yeah, 354 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: I think just the repetition, you know, really making the 355 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: place come to life for him. You know, you can 356 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: sit there in the meeting rooms and talk about it, 357 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: but you got to go out and rep it over 358 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: and over and over again. So these guys understand, you 359 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: know what we're trying to get done. And I think, 360 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, being a young player in this league, you 361 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: know I told Justin, you know, his rookie year, I said, 362 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: your best friend is gonna be the tailback. You know 363 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's all about getting completions. Completions, completions, Hey, 364 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: we go Max play action, it ain't there, Just check 365 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: it down and shoot. Tailback makes one miss, you might 366 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: get fifteen twenty yards and that's like a chunk play. 367 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: So just keep the sticks moving as much as we can, 368 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: and that's how we go. My final A couple of 369 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: things with Shane Stike, and we're talking with you right 370 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: now as we speak on your first day on the 371 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: job here in Indianapolis after your introductory press conference with that, 372 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: what's life been like for you the last two weeks? 373 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, how crazy hasn't been with interviewing for the job, 374 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: getting ready for the biggest game that you've ever participated in, 375 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: whether that's a player or a coach, and now a 376 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: couple of days after the game, just coming here and 377 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: having to put a staff together.

So we got we'll give him a break here, 419 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: but hopefully in the summertime we'll have him in and 420 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: talk more about his personality. But just in terms of 421 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: when he feels comfortable, when when he's up there talking 422 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: or he's at a press conference or what he's in 423 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: here doing a radio interview, Jeffrey, when he's at his 424 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: best or when he gets most comfortable, if you will, 425 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: is when he's talking ball. Yeah, that's when he starts 426 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: talking fast and really authoritative, and you know the pacing 427 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: and his speech picks up and he starts to get 428 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: a little bit louder is when he's just talking shop, 429 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: when he's talking ball, when he's talking about formations and 430 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, usage of your running back and what he 431 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: is looking for from a quarterback, that's when he's in 432 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: his element. So you can tell Jeffrey right away, this 433 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: guy's very sharp, very intelligent. He can process a lot 434 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: in a short amount of time, which goes back to him, 435 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: I think being able to call the plays and being 436 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: able to handle the game management stuff. I feel confident 437 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: that he's able to do that. So he's just a 438 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: really bright guy. And you can see why he nailed 439 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: the interview with Chris Ballard and Jimmersa. He talked about 440 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: what quarterback traits he looks for. He talked about obsession, 441 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: obsession with the position. But he's talking about the same 442 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: thing when he talks about accuracy, decision making and playmaking 443 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: ability as well. But I'm saying like he has to 444 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: be obsessed about his craft, and I know he's kind 445 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: of splitting that out there, saying, Hey, if I'm saying it, 446 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: it's what I'm practicing. Right there. We got a good one. 447 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: Preparation is the separation. There it is. And by the way, 448 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: I never prepare for this show just and that's why 449 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: this show continues to separate towards the bottom.

We end with the NFL's big story and 531 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: the big one in our boat. It's Shane Steik And 532 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: obviously we're talking about this new head coach. You know 533 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: what sort of offense he brings here, Matte, what's he 534 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: going to start speculating on what the Colts are going 535 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: to do in the draft. The Colts currently have that 536 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: fourth overall pick behind the Bears, Texans and Cardinals. We 537 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: heard her say the other day, say what a kid 538 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: from Labella. It's pretty good. I mean he's dropping little 539 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: crumbs there at the you know what I'm saying, The 540 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: subtle loves those Bears. Those Bears are in position to 541 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: take the best prospect available because they're sitting on justin fields, right, 542 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna trade the top pick. Mate, maybe add some 543 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: draft capital players to compliment quarterback justin fields like that? 544 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think they're gonna do. They're 545 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: already wondered if the Colts could possibly move up to 546 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: number one, what they'd have to give up to and 547 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback of their choice. What would it take 548 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: at this point with the Colts, are with any other 549 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: team to say, hey, we want that number one overall pick. 550 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: And don't forget that is Matt everflus up there, and 551 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: he is very familiar with this defensive roster, you know, 552 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: defensive hire roster for the most part, for the most part, 553 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: but I mean defensively. He still has cats that he 554 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: likes in this locker room. Well, you're exactly right. First 555 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: of all, there's two schools of thoughts on this right. 556 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: The first is, you're sitting at four and you don't 557 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: plan on being draft in the top five for a 558 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: long long time. So let's go all the way up 559 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: to number one, draft the guy that we love so 560 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: that nobody else can move up in front of us. 561 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: Let's not worry about what it costs, so long as 562 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: we get the player that we love and we get 563 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback that we really cove it, and let's go. 564 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: Second thought is, well, if there's not a wide gap 565 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: between the best player and the draft and everybody else, 566 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: let's just stay at four so that we don't have 567 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: to give up draft capital. And we know our a 568 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: head coach and our play caller can make it work 569 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: with just about anybody, any any type of quarterback, any 570 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: type of offense, right because he's worked with Philip Rivers 571 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts, who all have different 572 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: skill sets, So that those are the two different schools 573 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: of thought. But the last time this happened twenty sixteen, 574 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: the Rams moved up from number fifteen to number one 575 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans. So the last time a team 576 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: traded back out of number one, you have to go 577 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: back to two sixteen. Well, Titan's got a first round pick, 578 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: a second round pick, a third round pick to say 579 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: you're done after that, that's got to be it. No, 580 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: they weren't done because they had to go up. That's 581 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: a bit. It's a wild wide gap fifteen to one, 582 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: So they had to give up first round pick, second 583 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: round pick, third round pick for that year's draft. They 584 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: also received the following year's number one in the following 585 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: year's number three. Not bad, but I wouldn't think though 586 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: that it would cost the Colts that much hypothetically to 587 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: go from four to one, because the Bears would only 588 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: be trading down three spots, and by doing that, they 589 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: would still be in a position to get a great player, right, 590 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: a premium player to premium position of the non quarterback 591 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: spot if you will. Yeah, they can draft we're talking 592 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: about top five pick. They can still draft a guy 593 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: like Will Anderson from Alabama or Jaln Carter from Georgia 594 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: or whoever on the defensive side of the ball. But 595 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: the big question is would a team have to give 596 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: up their first round pick for the following year because 597 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: the Bears potentially could create a bidding war because if 598 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: you look at it, there's at least four teams in 599 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: the top ten that potentially need a quarterback. If you 600 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: look at the Texans, Colts, Raiders, and Panthers, and then 601 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: on the peripheral you got Atlanta, Detroit, Seattle. They could 602 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: join that party if they want to switch or change 603 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback that they have. So that's when the future 604 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: first round pick for twenty twenty four comes back into play. 605 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: But I think it all kind of boils down to 606 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: the Colts and their evaluation of these quarterbacks in the 607 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: draft and how much separation there is between whoever that 608 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: top guy is and then two three and four at 609 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. A lot of question to be answered. Shane 610 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: Steiken is here for us. Get excited. This thirty seven 611 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: year old head coach of your Indianapolis Colts is bringing 612 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: a different swagger to this place that we haven't seen 613 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: in a bit.
