There is a lot to get 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: into from this game, Bill, but I just want to 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: start here. Anytime your backup quarterback starts and you win, 22 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you won the game three to 23 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: nothing or fifty six to fourteen or twenty two to nineteen. 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 3: A win with your backup quarterback in there is a 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: big deal. And that's what the Colts got today with 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew starting this game with Anthony Richardson out with 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: a concussion. I know you've been a part of these 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 3: games over your career, Bill, You've seen plenty of them. 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: When your backup comes in and he doesn't turn the 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 3: ball over, yeah, and you win the game. Those two 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: things just that has to do so much for a 32 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 3: team and just the overall belief that they have that hey, okay, 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: if Anthony can't go, now there's proof of concept. Gardner 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: started a game on the road against a really good 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: team in Baltimore and we won this game. 36 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Oh. 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: I agree. It builds more confidence in the team, and 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: especially when you know the guy that's going in for 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: your starting quarterback, Gardner Minchw going in for Anthony Rigerson, 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: is a true professional, a guy that is going to 41 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: be prepared. He's going to be ready to play. He's 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: going to put the offense in the best position to 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: succeed out there in the football field, and the guys 44 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: just gritty. He's going to play every play. Yes, the 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: players might not look pretty, there might be some plays 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 2: where the defense wins and the offense does not win. 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: But he's a guy still going to say, hey, guys, Okay, 48 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: we didn't win that play. Let's keep on fighting, Let's 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: keep on going for it. Let's just keep on fighting 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: to try to get a successful play. And the guys 51 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: feed off of that, and they continue to feed off 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: of that. They're going to eventually believe because Garden's going 53 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: to make a play sooner or later. And he did 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: that today. He made enough plays today, and the guys 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: believe that. It's kept on fighting and fighting and fighting, 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: and that's what you need. And then guys believe in that. 57 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: And then when you believe that, you're always gonna feel like, hey, 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: if Gardener has to come in, if it's game six 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: or game ten or game twelve or whatever, you have 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: confidence that, you know what, this guy's going to get 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: us down to hopefully score some points and hopefully get 62 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: a win in the game that he has to come 63 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: in to play. And so that does a lot for 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: the team. That does a lot for the belief in 65 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: the team. And then you have a belief that knowing 66 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: we're a fighting team, we're just gonna fight, we're gonna 67 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: play physical, We're not going to ever give up, and 68 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: no matter what type of game we're playing. The other 69 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: team's gonna know that we're going to fight, and that's 70 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: what you want. You want guys to go out there 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: and fight, and that's what I think. The type of 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: culture that Shane is building with this team is that, Hey, 73 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: we're going to fight every single play. This is going 74 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: to be who the Indianapolis coach are. We're gonna fight offensively, defensively, 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: special teams, and we're going to fight to the end 76 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: and we don't know which play is going to be 77 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: the big play, but we're gonna fight like every play 78 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: is a big play. 79 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: Garder Mitchew completes twenty seven to forty four passes for 80 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty seven yards. He throws a touchdown 81 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: to Zach Moss. Really pretty ball, a nice wheel route 82 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: out of the backfield. You know, hit him right right 83 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: where it needed to be for Moss to go get 84 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: that touchdown over Patrick Queen in first half. But I 85 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: mentioned that Bill, he didn't turn the ball over. You know, 86 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: I should say he did throw an interception. He did 87 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: lose a fumble. The Colts recovered it, so it's sort 88 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: of a it wasn't really a turnover, but it kind 89 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: of killed a drive whatever it may be, though, Like 90 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: Gardner didn't put the ball into Harm's way. And okay, 91 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: so he had the the Orlovsky where he ran out 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: of the back. You know, his foot touched the back 93 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: of the end zone for his safety, yep. But the team, 94 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't quit on that. Like he led 95 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: the Colts back down to you know, he hit Alec 96 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: Pearson and Josh downs for a couple of completions and 97 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: they go down get the field goal for Mattcka to 98 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: send an into overtime. Like after the game, Bill, I'm 99 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: standing at the entry of the locker room, and you 100 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 3: know how Gardner like every interaction you have with him, 101 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: every time you see him on the field, he's just 102 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: like he's chill. You know, hey man, good vibes only 103 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 3: stuff like that. And it's like the look on his 104 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: face was like he looked like he was about to explode. 105 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: And when he went to go high five Cam turn 106 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: of a quarterbacks coach, I thought he was gonna break 107 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: Cam's arm off. He was like high fiving him so 108 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: hard and give him such a big hug. This meant 109 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: a lot to Gardner, Minshew, knowing that his next start 110 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: isn't guaranteed the next time he takes the field. It's 111 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: there's no guarantee when that will be. But he went 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: out there and he battled his butt off in this game. 113 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: He got hit a bunch, He got sacked five times, 114 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: Kyle Hamilton got in there three times, but he kept 115 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: getting up from those shots and ultimately he did enough 116 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: for the Colts to not only not lose this game, 117 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: but for him to go win the. 118 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: Of course, he did enough for the team to win 119 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: a game. And you know what, He's that type of 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: player that he gets excited when he goes out there 121 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: and plays football, and everyone should be excited with him 122 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 2: because he loves the game. He plays it hard, he 123 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: studies it the game so he knows it very well, 124 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: and he just enjoys playing. He's one of those guys. 125 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: It's like a little kid out there. He relas at 126 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: the time he has the opportunity to go out there 127 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: and play football, and like you said, he doesn't know 128 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: when he's going to get back out there again, and 129 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: he wants to enjoy every minute he has once he 130 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: gets out there. So he's going to be excited. You know, 131 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: he's going to high five people and try to knock 132 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: their arms off because he's excited about being out there 133 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: playing and playing with his teammates. Because he's a guy 134 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: that enjoys his teammates, and his teammates enjoy him as well. 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: So Gardner is one of those guys that I think 136 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: is he is the guy. If you're going to look 137 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: at a backup quarterback for a team, it's Gardner Minshaw's 138 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: picture right there Dictionary. So guys like him, they gravitate 139 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 2: to him, and he's a guy that, you know what, 140 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: he understands his role. He knows that Anthony Richardson is 141 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: the starting quarterback, but he knows if he gets the 142 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: opportunity to play, he has to be ready, and he's 143 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: a professional. He goes out there and play. So I 144 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: enjoy seeing Gardner out there playing. I enjoy seeing his 145 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: enthusiasm as he goes out there and plays. And I 146 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: just like his professionalism, how he prepares himself. He's ready 147 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: to play, and he's a leader. He's a leader out 148 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: there in the football field, and guys just gravitate to him. 149 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: As I said earlier, So that's good to have a 150 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: veteran quarterback as a backup and a guy that has 151 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: that type of personality, Guys that are gonna go out 152 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: there and play hard for him. 153 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: To me, Bill, this is the kind of culture building 154 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: win that really can get a coach's program. 155 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 2: To kind of take off. 156 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: You know, last week going into Houston, that's a good win. 157 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: You go on the road in the division, you win 158 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: a game that that's good no matter what the circumstances are. 159 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: But the colt should have won that game. They had 160 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: more talent on the field than the Houston Texans. Yes, 161 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens are a really good football team. They 162 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: have Lamar Jackson who is one of the best quarterbacks 163 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: in the NFL. They have talent across their defense. Yeah, 164 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: they were missing seven starters today, but you know, Zay 165 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: Flowers is a good player. Patrick Queen and Rokwon Smith 166 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: are good linebackers. You know, Jadavian Clowney's out there like that. 167 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: This is a good football team and that good call. 168 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: Mark Andrews really good player. And their head coach, John 169 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: Harbaugh is regarded as one of the best coaches in 170 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: the NFL for good reason. 171 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: Yes, this was a. 172 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: Game that you you beat the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore 173 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: by three points by just grinding and scrapping and fighting 174 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: and making plays on defense and Michael Pittman Junior's helmet 175 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: popping off and Zach Moss running on you know what, 176 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: looked to be kind of banged up. It doesn't matter. 177 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: He gets thirteen yards in overtime. Like you think of 178 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: these plays that the Colts made and the belief that 179 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: this team has not only in themselves, but in what 180 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: Shane Stikeen is preaching. Like it to me, Bill, You're 181 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 3: seeing a team that's realizing, Oh, Shane is putting us 182 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: in the best positions to succeed. He is helping us, 183 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: the culture he is establishing is helping us now win 184 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 3: football games. And we just went we beat the Baltimore 185 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 3: freaking Ravens and m at Banks Stadium. That to me, 186 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 3: this is gonna go a really long way. Even though 187 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: it's only September, it's only week three, just for this 188 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: team buying in to Shane Steiken as their head coach, 189 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 3: but to. 190 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: Have a game this early and if the guys go 191 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 2: out there and play this way and see that their 192 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: head coach is putting them, putting them in the best 193 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: position to win games, That does a lot for the 194 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: psyche of the players. The players believe that what Shane 195 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: is telling them, it's true that if we just do 196 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: the things that we know we can do, if we 197 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: prepare hard, if we practice hard and get ready for 198 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: each game and believe in ourselves and trusting one another, 199 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: trusting your teammate, trusting your coaches, that good things can happen. 200 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Now is this is going to happen every single game. 201 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: Probably not, But for the most part, it happening today 202 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: on in a road game against Baltimore. At Baltimore, who 203 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: is a real good football team. It sends a message 204 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: to the team that hey, you know what, guys, we 205 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: can go out here and play with these guys. The 206 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: coaches are going to the coaches are with us. The 207 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: coaches are going to putus in the best position to 208 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 2: win football games. We just have to go out there 209 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 2: and execute the plays and be ready to play and 210 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: be ready to fight. We can't take plays off. We 211 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: have to play every play and if we do those things, 212 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: you know what, we give ourselves a chance to win. 213 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: And that's what happened with the coach today. It went 214 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: down into overtime, but they had a chance to win, 215 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: and you know what, Matt Gay since the ball through 216 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: the uprights coach win. 217 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 3: I'm always curious of this bill because you know, to me, 218 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: as someone who never played the game like you, it's 219 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: hard to put a finger on like how much this 220 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: really means the culture stuff. But you've played it, You've 221 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: been in these situations, You've been in these locker rooms 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: on these teams where either you've had it or you 223 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: haven't had it. When you have it, the belief in 224 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: the head coach, that top down belief that goes both 225 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: ways on this like how much does that really matter? 226 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: How much does that impact you as a player individually 227 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: and then as a team to have that belief. 228 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: Look, we're all the players are human. We're all human. 229 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 2: And you know when someone tells you something and it 230 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: actually happens and it becomes true, and the coaches are 231 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: telling you one thing and you go ahead and execute 232 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: it and do what the coach is asking to do 233 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: and you see success out of that. It gives you 234 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: a belief. And there's gonna be times throughout the week, 235 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: throughout the season where is gonna be tired. You know 236 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: you're going to feel like I don't want to go 237 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 2: through this today. You know, I want to get passed today. 238 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: But the coach will give you a word, to say 239 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: something to you about the game, about the week, or 240 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: whatever it may be, and then you're rejuvenated again to 241 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: go out. You know what, the coach believes in me. 242 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: He believes in us. You know what, he said this 243 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 2: before and this is what happened. We had success with this. 244 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: Now he's telling us this again. You know what, I 245 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: don't have any reason to doubt him about this. So 246 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: it does a lot for you, guys. That gives you 247 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: a positive energy that when you come into the building 248 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: on a Monday, on a Wednesday, on a Thursday or Friday, 249 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: that you know what, we're putting in time in preparation 250 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: to be successful on Sunday or Monday or whenever we're 251 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: going to play the football game. And we believe in 252 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: the coach. And you know what, then after that, all 253 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: the coach has to do is say, hey, guys, we 254 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: go ahead and do this. He doesn't have to really 255 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: explain it to you. You're gonna believe anyway. You just 256 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: go out there and do it. And knowing that you 257 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: know what, he has our back, Shane has our back. 258 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: And we're going to go out there and perform to 259 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: the best out of our ability. And that's what the 260 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: guys did today. I mean, the guys fought today. I 261 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: looked at this game like it was like a twelve 262 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: or fifteen round boxing match. It just went all the 263 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: way to the distance. And the guys who kept up 264 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 2: on fighting. You know, hey, Baltimore came out throwing blows 265 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: and they score early in the game, and then the 266 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 2: coaches kept on fighting and fighting and fighting and eventually 267 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: wore Baltimore down and got the field goal to win 268 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: the game. 269 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: A couple of guys want to highlight on offense for 270 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: individual efforts in this game. Zach Moss, what more can 271 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: you say about this guy? I mean, thirty carries, that's 272 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: a career high, one hundred and twenty two yards, that's 273 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: a career high, catches, a seventeen yard touchdown. The runs 274 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,359 Speaker 3: he had at the end of the game were crucial 275 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: in why the Colts won this game. And you know, 276 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: he had to come out a couple times because it 277 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: looked like he got a little bit banged up. But 278 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: he said after the game, there is no way I 279 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: can never quit on these guys. I wasn't coming out 280 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: of this game. And you know, I asked Garder Mitschew 281 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: about it after the game, and he said that Zach 282 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: Moss just kind of embodies what this team is about 283 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: right now. He's just a gritty dude who fights for 284 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: those extra yards and he's physical and he's tough, and 285 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: he's a guy who I can tell his teammates really 286 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: really appreciate the kind of player that he is and 287 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: what he brings to this team. 288 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, they really are doing well. The players happened today 289 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: and if I'm not mistaken, I think he had a 290 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: run around the left side and I think J David 291 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: and Clowney had him for a loss, and yeah, he 292 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: broke out of that tackle and I think he gained 293 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: about five yards. I'm not sure exactly how much. 294 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: That should have been a loss of like four and 295 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: he turned it into a gain of five nuts. 296 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: So to me, that shows you what type of player 297 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: he is, and that play, to me, showed me a 298 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: lot about Zack Moss. And Zach Moss is just a fighter. 299 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: He's not going to give up no matter what happens, 300 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: and he's just going to grind it out, grind it 301 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: out and try to get positive yards. And you know 302 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: we mentioned this before. When the off the line sees 303 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: that that gives them energy, that gives them, that gives 304 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: them exciting knowing that, hey, this guy's is gonna work. 305 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: He's going to try to make every yard that he 306 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: can to get us in good field position, gain yards 307 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: to get positive yards. And he just fought all day 308 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: today and you said, you know I had with thirty carries. 309 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: I mean that is a lot for a young man 310 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: and basically his second aim back and you're having thirty carries. 311 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: Hats off to him, because you know what, thirty carries 312 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty two yards. That man ran 313 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: extremely hard today. And the offensive line loves that. They 314 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: love that, you know what, they can kind of go 315 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: out there and be physical with the defensive line and 316 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: then they have a back that's going to be physical 317 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: with them that's going to gain those extra yards, those 318 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: positive yards, and and and and put them in good, 319 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: good field position to good plays to be able to 320 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: get more plays down down down the road and get 321 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: positive yards. So that is something that the office line 322 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: loves and that goes well in a long ways on 323 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: the offense. 324 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: Two other guys that want to highlight here on offense, 325 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: both of whom have played every single snap all Lady four. 326 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: Wesley French stepping in for Ryan Kelly. If you look 327 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: at you know, I was kind of watching some of 328 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: the postgame celebration of from the press com the press 329 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 3: box and Matcay is getting mobbed, but like so is 330 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: Wesley French. I mean, that was really cool to see. 331 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: I mean, he was a guy who comes in undrafted 332 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: free agent last year, his first career start. You know, 333 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: I'm sure if you turned on the tape you can 334 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 3: you can find some stuff like you can with every 335 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 3: offensive lineman. But just watching it at first, I didn't 336 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: notice him getting like, you know, his butt kicked every 337 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 3: single play. I thought it looked pretty solid from where 338 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: I was at. And again, like this is a tough 339 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: Ravens team to go in there as a rookie center 340 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: where you've got to get the protections right. They're gonna 341 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 3: send all these exotic blitzes and fire zones and you know, 342 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 3: simulated pressure stuff like that. You know, I thought it 343 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: was a you know, overall pretty solid day for him, 344 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: and good for him for getting out there the way 345 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 3: he did. And then the other guy is Michael Pittman Jr. 346 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 3: He played all eighty four snaps. He literally did not 347 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 3: come off the field in this game. Bill and the 348 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: catch he had in overtime to flip field position, you 349 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: know what, the Colts backed up near the Ravens goal line, 350 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: Gardner throws up, throws a ball up to him. Pitt 351 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 3: comes down that his helmet comes flying off. Just an 352 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 3: absolutely unreal catch by a guy who just he makes 353 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: plays like this where it's like, you know what, Like 354 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: he has that mentality of I'm going to be the 355 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: more physical guy in this play and like that. You know, 356 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: it's it's sort of kind of a cliche, but it's 357 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: like a that's my ball mentality, Like you you see 358 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: that on a Pittman and it's not a surprise anymore. 359 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 3: And he does stuff like this. 360 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: This is this is a Pittman type of game. It's 361 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: gonna be physical, a tough game out there. I think 362 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: he thrives in games like this. He loves to play 363 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 2: in the games where he knows it's going to be 364 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: physical and Baltimore is a physical team and he knows that, 365 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 2: but that one play for Pittman to go down there 366 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: and go up with two people around him, and the 367 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: guy going up trying to strip the ball out but 368 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: he he hits Pittman in the helmet and the helmet's 369 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: helmet comes off and everything. And you know, if a 370 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 2: pit to go up there and not just catch the ball, 371 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 2: they have the stration and go up there and catch 372 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: the ball, but to hold on to the ball knowing 373 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: that you know what they're they're going to try to 374 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: strip the ball once he comes down with it. So 375 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: and for him to hold onto the ball, give him 376 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: a lot of credit. That was That was a nice 377 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: catch by Pitt and good to see him going out there, 378 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: but him playing all those snaps, you know what I 379 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: mean that that's great for Pitt. But that's that to me, 380 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: that is Pit. That that's who he is. He wants 381 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: to go out there and play in every single play. 382 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: He wants to go out there and block when he 383 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: needs to block, or go out there and make those 384 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: tough catches over the middle. If it's a third and three, 385 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: third and four, or if the quarterback's in trouble and 386 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: he's scrambling, he's looking for someone, Pitt wants to be 387 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: that guy to get open and so the quarterback can 388 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: throwing the ball and he makes those tough catches to 389 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: hopefully keep the drive going. So to me, this is 390 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: a typical pit. You know, we've seen it before and 391 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: you know we'll probably see it again. But give pitt 392 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: a lot of credit for going out there and playing 393 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: as hard as he did and playing all those snaps. 394 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, fourth court in and overtime, Michael Pittman Jr. Caught 395 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: four catches for fifty one yards. Flipping it over to 396 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: the Colts defense. You know, this game started off with 397 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson just disen up the Colts defense five for 398 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: five forty five yards, four rushes for twenty six yards 399 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 3: on the first drive, including an eight yard touchdown, and 400 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: you're kind of sitting there being like, okay, like what's 401 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: what's the counter punch? The CounterPunch was the Ravens couldn't 402 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: hang out with the football. The I mean, the Colts 403 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: did a great job of playing to the conditions on defense, 404 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 3: forcing three fumbles in the first half. The Ravens also 405 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: had an aborted snap that Sam Mustaf kind of dirted 406 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: at Lamar Jackson's feet that led to a team sack. 407 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: That was the fourth fumble in there. 408 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: But you know, Juju. 409 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: Brent's coming in there and punching the ball out on 410 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 3: Kenyan Drake, Like, what a play for him in his 411 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 3: first NFL game. You got Samson Ebcov, who's been awesome 412 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: to start the season, coming in there getting a strip sack. 413 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: Baltimore winds up recovering it, but you just you know 414 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: you're getting the ball out, and that put a cap 415 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: on what the Ravens were able to do in the 416 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: first half. Lamar only completed two more passes the rest 417 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: of the first half and he rushed one time the 418 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 3: rest of the first half after that first drive, and 419 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: that kind of flipped it. And after the game, talking 420 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: to some guys in the locker room, what they all said, Bill, 421 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: was it the Juju forced fumble that flipped the game 422 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: for them? Because if you remember on that play Kenny 423 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 3: and Drake, He's going twenty thirty yards downfield after the 424 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 3: catchy and Baltimore is about to get it in the 425 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 3: Colts red zone and Juju comes from behind and just 426 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 3: Tomahawk chops that thing out. That really flipped this game 427 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 3: and gave that Colts defense a lot of belief and 428 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the Ravens got kind of stuck 429 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: in the mud the rest of the half. 430 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, only did Juju knock the ball out, but he 431 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: recovered it as well. So I mean for Juju to 432 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 2: go down there and and do that, and and and uh, 433 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: you know, Drake was Drake had made it about to 434 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: make a big play and going down the field. But 435 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: give you do credit for punching it out and recovering 436 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: the football. But it also gave it the Coats defense 437 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: some energy, as people said, you know, it gives them 438 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: energy that Hey, look know what we got to turnover. 439 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: We got the ball back to our offense. We prevent 440 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: them from scoring a touchdown or getting any more points. 441 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: That's going to That's a good thing because you know, 442 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: earlier in the game, Uh, Baltimore went down and scored 443 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: you know, fairly easy, I would say, on the twelve 444 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: play drive at the habit at their one of the 445 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: opening drives. So it was good for the Coats to 446 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: bounce back, created turnover, get the ball, and you know 447 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: throughout the game the rest of the game, the guys 448 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: did a good job. And you you talked about it 449 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: a second ago about the force fumbels with the two 450 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: other force fumbles that the Coats had and and recovering 451 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: one of them. So it was good that the Colts 452 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: made those plays and continue to create turnovers and hopefully 453 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: get the ball back to the offense so they can 454 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: go down there and score. But be a team that, 455 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: you know, create turnovers and calls havoc for other offenses 456 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 2: and make them know that, hey, look, you know what, 457 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 2: if you guys don't want to take care of the ball, 458 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: believe me, we'll take it from you and we'll give 459 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: it back to our offense. 460 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 3: The fourth quarter and overtime defense the Colts had bill 461 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 3: was outstanding. So and I mentioned what Lamar did to 462 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: start the game. Third quarter, the Ravens kind of find 463 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 3: something in the run game. Lamar leads and down he 464 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: scores another touchdown on a quarterback draw. But then in 465 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter in overtime, Lamar Jackson went eight for 466 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: fifteen on eighteen dropacks. He was sacked twice and it 467 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: wasn't the Lamar Jackson were used to. He did rush 468 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: five times for thirty six yards, but the Colts really 469 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: shut down Lamar Jackson when it counted on defense. And 470 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 3: there's a play where Lamar took it on a designed 471 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: run and Julian Blackman gets him like this is like 472 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: open field, but you know, kind of in the backfield. 473 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 3: Julian comes down. Julian a great game today. Twelve tackles 474 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: by the way he tackles Lamar, and like we have 475 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 3: a highlight of it that I saw where you can 476 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: see the look on Lamar's face and he is he 477 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 3: slams the turf. He's so mad that he didn't break that, 478 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: and you could just sense like he was getting frustrated. 479 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: He was getting frankly pissed off that it wasn't working. 480 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: And this Colt's defense got after him with pressure. They 481 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 3: didn't let him throw the ball downfield. He only attempted 482 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 3: two passes that travel twenty more yards bey on the 483 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. So good job by the Colts corners 484 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: and safeties to keep a lid on this Ravens offense 485 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: throughout the game. And then again, I mean in overtime, 486 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: when Devin Duverne had that big punt return, you're thinking, 487 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 3: all right, they got justin Tucker. They probably only need 488 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: about like twelve yards right to get in the field 489 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: goal range and then Tucker can go win it, and Colt's. 490 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: Got to stop I mean it was. 491 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: You got the ball on the uh, you know, the 492 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: the Indie forty eight to start it off, third and 493 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: sixth and he throws incomplete to Jay Flowers And that 494 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: was the first one. The second one he threw in 495 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: complete to Isaiah Likely excuse me, threw in complete again 496 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: to Zay Flowers. That was on fourth and three near midfield, 497 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 3: and like its Colts defense just they got to it. 498 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 3: I think they got to Lamar Jackson in this game 499 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: because collectively, the pass rush and the pass coverage were 500 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 3: tied in so well in. 501 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 2: This game that. 502 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 3: They didn't allow Lamar to kind of be a creator. 503 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 3: And then the Colts kept him in the pocket for 504 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: the most part in this game to where he wasn't 505 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 3: able to break out and scramble and make an explosive 506 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 3: play with his legs. 507 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Lamark go a little frustrated today because 508 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure he expected more from himself and more from 509 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: the offense to be able to move the ball down 510 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 2: the field. And I think after, you know, maybe moving 511 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: the ball down the field earlier in the game and 512 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown, he probably thought, you know what, this 513 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: is going to be a game where we can move 514 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 2: the ball at will whenever we want. But give the 515 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 2: Coats defense credit. You know, they kept on fighting. You know, 516 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: they say, okay, you guys won that you went down 517 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: and scored, but we're going to keep on fighting. And 518 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: the coach did that. They kept on fighting, playing hard, 519 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: hitting hard, playing physical. They weren't going to give up. 520 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: And I think that's just, you know, that says a 521 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 2: lot about this type of uh, the type of players 522 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: that the Coats have on defense, Guys that are going 523 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: to be physical. That guy's going to be fast and 524 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: not going to give up. E J. Speed, playing fast, 525 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: playing hard as a Franklin making big plays. I thought 526 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: Juju played a nice game, you know. So you had 527 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: a lot of guys out there playing good football for 528 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: the defense and just playing hard and not giving up. 529 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: So I think a lot of the credit needs to 530 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: go to the defense of how they frustrated Lamar Jackson. 531 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: Tire Franklin fifteen tackles. He has forty five on the 532 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 3: season now through three games. 533 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: I'm laughing. I'm not laughing yet at it, but it's 534 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: just it's just forty five tackles after three games, or 535 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: forty forty six or whatever it is. Forty five forty 536 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 2: six tackles after three games. 537 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 3: Unbelievable, you know, like a good like one hundred tackles 538 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: is usually like, ah, that's a pretty good season. He's 539 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: like almost halfway there through three games exactly. 540 00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: And EJ. 541 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: I know I say it like every week, but like 542 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: every time he's on the field, he makes a play 543 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: the TfL. He had the two play sequence. I wrote 544 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 3: about this on Colts dot Com. But it was early 545 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: in the third quarter and Lamar finally was able to 546 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 3: like he broke contained. He had a scramble opportunity on 547 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 3: second and twelve and z tackled him after an eleven 548 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 3: yard game like just short of the line of scrimmage. 549 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: The Ravens go to their heavy personnel package and they 550 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: bring in a six offensive linemen. They forget to block EJ. Speed, 551 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: he goes into the backfield. They tackles Gus Edward for 552 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 3: a two yard loss, and the Ravens at the punt. 553 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: And I use those two plays just as a example 554 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 3: of like this defense when all right, hey, the D line, 555 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: maybe they got a little bit too far upfield, maybe 556 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 3: someone wasn't as disciplined as they needed to be in 557 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: their rush lane, Lamar got out. You know what, Zire 558 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: picked those guys up who frequently pick him up and 559 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 3: give him opportunities to go and make plays in the 560 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: run game that d line and then the next play, 561 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 3: e J. Speed gets a two yard TfL that forces 562 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 3: a punt. If he gets a just a tackle for 563 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 3: no game, Baltimore probably goes for it. And the Ravens 564 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: are one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL 565 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. You give him two 566 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 3: chances to gain in yard, you expect them to get it, 567 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 3: but EJ. Speed made sure they couldn't even do that. 568 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: So and then you're seeing I think Juju Bred's had 569 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: a big impact on this game, not just with the 570 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: forced fumble, but like the physical mentality that he brought 571 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: to that that corner spot that Gus Bradley likes to 572 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: have that guy get up and press, and like Juju 573 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 3: didn't back down from anything in this game, the way 574 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: that he defended that pass. Uh there was a throw 575 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 3: to Mark Andrews and down right like he didn't back 576 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 3: away from that challenge. And I and even if you 577 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: watch the forced fumble, like Zay Flowers tries to block 578 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 3: Juju but Juju's got probably six inches and fifty pounds 579 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: on Zame Flowers and just bounced off him like it 580 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: was like it was like nothing. 581 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: Yep. 582 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 3: I like, I really like the mentality and just that 583 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 3: that edge. But Juju brought an edge to this defense today. 584 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: He played hard. He played physical today. And I thought, 585 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: you know, like on the first pass, I thought, when 586 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: Za Flowers caught the ball and was going for the 587 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 2: first down or there on the sideline earlier in the game, Uh, 588 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: Juju came up and made a hit on him, and 589 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: actually he looked like, actually he didn't make the first 590 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: down like that. He Juju hit him and held him 591 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: short of the first down. But it was a good physical, 592 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 2: hard Yes, it's a good, good physical hit by Juju. 593 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: And that's what you want to see someone that has 594 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: that size. He has length that makes it very difficult 595 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: for receivers and tight ends as far as going out 596 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: to catch balls to really create separation from the defender. 597 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: If the defender used to say his length to his advantage, 598 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 2: and Juju he did that today. I mean, I thought 599 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: he played well, he played hard, he played physical, and 600 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: that's what you want to see, you know, you want 601 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: to see a young guy play hard and play physical, 602 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: you know what, he's going to make mistakes out there. 603 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: But I've always been told if you're gonna make mistakes, 604 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: make mistakes playing fast, don't make mistakes second guests in 605 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: yourself or playing slow. And Juju, he played fast. And 606 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: I'm not saying he made mistakes. I don't know. I 607 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: would have to watch the whole game from both the 608 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 2: end zone view and of course from the sideline. But 609 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: from what I saw out there in the football field, 610 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: Juju played fast today. He played fast and hard and 611 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: played physical, and I just liked the way he was 612 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: throwing his body around and making those plays. And for 613 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: someone that has that length and using it to his advantage, 614 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: that's going to go a long way for that young man. 615 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: So hopefully he continues to grow and continues to play, 616 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: and of course stays healthy and be able to get 617 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: a lot of playing time and go out there and 618 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: hopefully he can produce, because I thought he played pretty 619 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 2: well today. 620 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 3: Real quick quick. He pay had another sack. He's up 621 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 3: to three on the season. Samson nevercom had another sack. 622 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: He now is too forced fumble two TFLs. Those two 623 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 3: guys playing really well at defensive end for the Colts. 624 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: All right, let's talk a little bit about Matt Gay. Now, Bill, 625 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: this is why you pay a kicker. 626 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Matt Gay hits. 627 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: He hits four field goals of forty or more yard 628 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: or fifty or more yards. That is an NFL record. 629 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 3: That's not just a Colts record. That is an NFL record. 630 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: To make four field goals of fifty or more yards 631 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: in a game, including the game winner, and including a 632 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: game tire with about a minute to go in the 633 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. These weren't just him hitting field goals. These 634 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: are him hitting pressure packed field goals. And I kind 635 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: of asked him after the game about this, and I 636 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 3: wanted to get your perspective, Bill, Like, as a kicker, 637 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: you know, you probably feel a little bit of pressure. Obviously, 638 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 3: you want to win the game. You want to do 639 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: your job. But like in a game like this where 640 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 3: you look over and everybody who's been on the field, 641 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 3: their white jersey is just covered in mud and grass stains, 642 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: and like everyone is just they've they've played their butts 643 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 3: off for eighty four snaps on offense or seventy two 644 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 3: snaps on defense. And I just imagine, like as a kicker, 645 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 3: you don't want to let those guys down in your 646 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 3: clean white jersey. And for mackay to go out there 647 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 3: and make those kicks, that gives the offense so much 648 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 3: confidence that, Okay, hey, going forward, if we want to 649 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,959 Speaker 3: get points on the drive, Yeah, we want to get 650 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 3: in the end zone on every drive obviously, but you 651 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 3: know what, if we make it to the thirty five 652 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 3: yard line, we trust that McKay is going to knock 653 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 3: on through the uprights. We're gonna get three points and 654 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 3: come out of that drive feeling good about ourselves. 655 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: Definitely. I mean that does a lot for the offense, 656 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 2: and it gives the offense a lot of confidence going 657 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 2: down knowing that, hey, look, if we want to get points, 658 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: we don't have to drive the ball all the way 659 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: down to maybe the fifteen yard line or a ten 660 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 2: yard line in order to get a field goal, you know, 661 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: for the kicker to make it. But we can get 662 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: to the thirty five yard line and we have a 663 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 2: kicker that can make fifty plus yard field goals and 664 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: we'll be fine with that, you know what, because we 665 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: have confidence that he can do it. And for Matt 666 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 2: to go out there today and kick a thirty one 667 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 2: yard field goal, a fifty four yard field goal, fifty 668 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 2: three yard field goal, another fifty three yard field goal, 669 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 2: and the last field goal a fifty three yard field goal. 670 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: That does a lot for the offense having confidence and 671 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 2: the kicker going out there and performing and being able 672 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 2: to get points for the offense. So, you know what, 673 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 2: even though he went out there with that clean white 674 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: jersey and clean pants, believe me, the guys respect that, 675 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 2: respect him and have a lot of confidence in him 676 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 2: going out there, and they believe in him. And you know, 677 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: for a kicker to do that, I know he feels 678 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: good for him to do that. There's a lot of 679 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: pressure on the kicker when you're going out there because 680 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 2: all eyes are on you to make that field goal. 681 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 2: And for him to come through like that for four 682 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: fifty plus yard field goals out there in the game 683 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 2: when there was raining earlier, so I'm sure the field 684 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: was probably a little damp. The footing they looked fine 685 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: out there, but it still could have been a little treacherous, 686 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure. But you know what, for him to go 687 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 2: out there and just focus on what he needed to do, 688 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: and as I hear him heart him in the interview. 689 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: He kind of he's in the blackout mode where he 690 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 2: just went out there and just thought about just doing 691 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 2: his thing and let the ball go and kicking it 692 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 2: and not really focusing on anything, you know, any external things, 693 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 2: but just going out there kicking it. Give the man credit. 694 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 2: That's a tough, tough position because you don't get out 695 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 2: there often, and then when you do get out there, 696 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 2: you have to perform. And he performed very well today 697 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 2: for I think that was closed with four fifty plus 698 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 2: yard field goals today against Baltimore and at M and 699 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 2: T Banks Stadium. 700 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 3: It's funny though, I talked to a lot roads after 701 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 3: the game and I was just like, did you look 702 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 3: at Matt Gay like before he went out for that 703 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 3: field goal? And he was like no, Like it was 704 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 3: just we went out there, we went through our operation, 705 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 3: we kicked the ball and it went in and like 706 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 3: I kind of asked him, I was like, isn't that 707 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 3: the sign band of like a really good kicking battery 708 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 3: And he's like, yeah, absolutely, Like you know, there's no 709 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 3: like Okay, let's see, like how you know, how's Matt 710 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 3: what's look in his eyes? 711 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: Like, you know, is he is he confident? 712 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: It's like, no, he's good, just the like normal like 713 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 3: you're kicking it in the first quarter. And I think 714 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 3: that's something that you know, we could we kind of 715 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 3: learned about Matt Gay and we knew he had proven 716 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 3: to be one of the more clutch kickers INDI NFL. 717 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 3: He's twelve or fourteen in his career in the playoffs, 718 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 3: He's made every single pat in the playoffs. He's now 719 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 3: made his last seven kicks of fifty or more yards. 720 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 3: He just like he and he said it, he's almost 721 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 3: like unconscious where you go out there and you're not 722 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 3: thinking about, oh, man, like hope, you know, hope I 723 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 3: make this. You know, it's just sort of like all right, 724 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 3: just jug out there and just like we've been doing, 725 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 3: let's go go make this kick and we expect to 726 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 3: do it. I think that that's that's a mentality build 727 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 3: that I think like us normal people like me just 728 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 3: like don't understand like the mentality of oh my god, 729 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 3: there's a lot riding on this moment, but yeah, we're good. 730 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 3: They nothing, nothing notable happening here in my brain just 731 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 3: for our usual usual process. That's something that's like kind 732 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 3: of hard to understand. If you aren't an athlete or 733 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 3: a former athlete. 734 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 2: Well, it's it's hard to understand, but it's really not 735 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 2: that hard to understand because these guys rep that so 736 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 2: many times. I mean, you know, you got a snap er, 737 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 2: you have the holder, and you have the kicker, and 738 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: they do this so many times. They go over it 739 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: in their head, they go over it and just maybe 740 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 2: on walking through, not actually kicking the football, but just 741 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 2: thinking about it. And they go over it and over 742 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 2: it and over it, and after a while it becomes 743 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 2: second nature. I mean, you just go out there and 744 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 2: you just you just do it. You know it's going 745 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 2: to be a good snap. You know it's going to 746 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: be a good hole. And all you have to do 747 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 2: is a kicker is go out there and just put 748 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 2: your foot through the ball. I mean, I make it 749 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: sound simple. It's not simple at all, but that's their 750 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 2: mentality because they rep it so many times. And then 751 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 2: besides that, they trust one another. They trust the operation 752 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 2: that it's going to work out fine. You know, the 753 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 2: holder trust holder and kicker trust the rest of the 754 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 2: line there to block keep people out. You know, they 755 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 2: trust the snapper that the ball is going to be 756 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: right there, and you know what that the holder the 757 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 2: lasers are going to be pointing towards the goal posts, 758 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 2: you know, and so they don't have to worry about 759 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 2: trying to you know, spend the laces away from the 760 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 2: kicker or things like that. They have that down to 761 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 2: almost a science where they can do that, and it's 762 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 2: it's pretty neat to see when they go out there. 763 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 2: They just go out there, jog out there, and they relaxed, calm, cool, 764 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 2: and then this kick it through or whatever they need 765 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: to do, and when the ball goes through, they're like, yeah, 766 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 2: well that's what we expected. Really, So it's nice to 767 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 2: see when the operation works that smoothly and works that consistently. 768 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 2: And they did that today. It was very consistent today 769 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 2: the operation for kick and field goals and get those 770 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 2: guys a lot of credit and the Coats needed today 771 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 2: because it was a tough, tough game. 772 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 3: All right, Well what a game it was, Bill twenty 773 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 3: two to nineteen.
