1 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: What's up everyone? Welcome into another episode of the Two 2 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Minute Drill podcast, presented by Nerd Wallet, Play Smart Finance Harder. 3 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm JJ Stankowitz and I'm joined again by Colts dot 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: Com writer Amanda Foster, and we're giving you all of 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: the last minute news, notes and observations we have before 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: the Colts kickoff the twenty twenty four season against the 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Houston Texans on Sunday. We've got injury updates, We've got 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: the most interesting things we learned this week from the 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Colts locker room. Let's get the podcast started, all right, Amando. 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: Only one player was ruled out on Friday. We just 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: heard from head coach Shane steichen over in the media 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: room here at the Colts facility. Wide receiver Josh Downs 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: will not play. He has an ankle injury that was 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: sustained August seventh and training camp. He didn't practice it 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: all this week. Probably not a surprise there. Maybe a 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: bit of a mild surprise though, is that Matt Gay 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: was not ruled out. Yes, shanstike and said Matt Gay 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: did kick on Friday, so that is encouraging, and that 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: sounds like that maybe has led the Colts to say, well, 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: hold on a second, he did kick today on Friday. 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: Let's address what his situation is going to be in 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours. So let's get to Josh 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: Downs first real quick though, before we get onto Mac 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: gay Amada, who fills in for Josh Downs. 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: Well, that's the. 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: Good thing in theory about Downs. His ankle injury is 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 3: not necessarily recent. So we know where the Colts are 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: going to go, and it's gonna be Adie Mitchell, Adie 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: Mitchell and Alec Pierce. And it's what we saw in 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: training camp, it's what we've seen in practice, and they're 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: gonna It's it's hard to say who specifically will fill 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 3: in for Josh Downs because the thing about this wide 33 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: receiver room is that anybody can play anywhere. And that's 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 3: something that if you ask any coach or any player 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: on this team about that room, that's the first thing 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: they're going to say, and that's what they're going to emphasize. 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 3: And so Adie Mitchell didn't really he didn't play slot 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: in college. He's learning it, he's he's kind of coming 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: into it. But he has played during camp, he's played 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: during practice, preseason, and athletically or not athletically, but kind 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 3: of the way that his body is probably better suited 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: to play on the outside theoretically, right, right, Yeah, that's 43 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 3: kind of what you would expect. But when you ask 44 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: people about him, they praise how he can quickly adapt 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: and learn and fill in in that role. And he 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: was he said he was confident about his abilities to 47 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: play in that role and learn those new situations, and 48 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: he said that there's nothing he can't physically do, so 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: clearly there's belief there. There's belief in Alec Pierce. Michael 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: Pittman Junior was taking turns in the slot too, So 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: it's just it's it's I think the what you can expect. 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: It's not going to be a set kind of one 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: person filling in for him, and that's that's kind of 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: what we've seen. That's what we'll continue to see until 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 3: Downs come back comes back. 56 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's a really good thing that the 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: Colts have that flexibility where you know, I know we've 58 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: talked about it a lot, but last year the Colts 59 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: did not have that flexibility, right, and everyone was kind 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: of stuck into the position that they were playing. This year, 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: you can put pitt in the slot because you feel 62 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: like you have more options at the Z. You know, 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: whether you put Nadie Mitchell out there, maybe you're getting 64 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Gould some snaps Ashton dueling can play anywhere. It's 65 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: a really good thing for the Colts to have that depth. 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: And I think the other point you made a man 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: do is this isn't surprising, right, like the Colts have 68 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: been preparing for this for a while now. The other 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: thing I will say is Shanstecken, did you know he 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: has sounded confident that Downs will be back sooner rather 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: than later, So hopefully this is this is just a 72 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: one week thing. Hopefully he's able to get back start 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: practicing next week before green. 74 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: Bay and another encouraging thing. And there's not really a 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: necessarily a good way to say this, because you don't 76 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: want to gloss over the fact that Downs has been 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: out and been hurt. But it hasn't necessarily felt like 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: there's a hole that the cults are missing something. Obviously 79 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: they are missing things with him not being there, because 80 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: we saw his connection with Anthony Richards and we know 81 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: what he can do on the field, but it's not 82 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: like he was gone and they were left with nobody 83 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: to step up. They had multiple people step up, and 84 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: multiple people step up in a big way. And so 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: that's another you know, going in, of course you're down 86 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: a guy, but that doesn't mean that they're scrambling. 87 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: Like you said, they've this has been the situation for 88 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: a while. 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's totally spot on there. That the I mean, 90 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: whenever you're replacing one of your starters, you don't want 91 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: the gap to be so significant that you're like, you know, 92 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: we can't even use this package. It's good enough that 93 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: you can still kind of run your offense. You're not 94 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: gonna do the same stuff you do with Downs out 95 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: there because he's so talented, but you're gonna be okay. 96 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: And I think that's a really good point. The Matt 97 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: Gay stuff is really interesting here. Yeah, he talked with 98 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: us in the locker room on Wednesday. He sounded like 99 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: he was determined to do whatever he could to get 100 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: back out there. It doesn't want to miss any time. 101 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: But the amount of pain he was in a manda 102 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: was pretty significant. Yeah, I mean he said it cropped 103 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: up after the Colts' final preseason game against the Bengal 104 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: so the weekend after he started feeling some pain. He 105 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: got it checked out and I asked him, like, how 106 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: much pain were you in? And he said it was 107 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good amount. 108 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: So would you figure for a professional athlete's, especially when 109 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 3: you play. 110 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Football, that's a high pain thresh tolerance. You know, even 111 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: if we're talking about a kicker here. 112 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: Right, it doesn't matter you're running the NFL. And so 113 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: I don't want to mess with that. 114 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Good news in that he kicked today. Yes, So now 115 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: the Colts will kind of spend the next forty eight 116 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: or so hours evaluating it. Chainstike and wouldn't go as 117 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: far to say, Amanda that he's going to be a 118 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: game time decision, but I think you're there are gonna 119 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: be a lot of eyes on that inactive's report when 120 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: that comes out ninety minutes before kickoff, of Hey, is 121 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: Matt Gay going to be available? Is Spencer Schrader coming up? 122 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Will Spencer? I mean the Colts too, even if they 123 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: call Spencer Strader up from the practice squad tomorrow, which 124 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: you can elevate two players from the practice squad, so 125 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: they could elevate Schrader, and that if Mackay says, I'm 126 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: good to go on Sunday, Well, Schrader can be inactive. 127 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: So just just because the Colts potentially if they do 128 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: do this, they do go this route, if they do 129 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: elevate Spencer Strader, it doesn't mean he's going to kick 130 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: on Sunday. We're probably gonna go right up to that line, Amandadell, 131 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: just what have you kind of learned about Spencer Schrader 132 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: this week? There seems to be some confidence in him 133 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: based on what he did during the preseason and you know, 134 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: he's an undrafted rookie who would be making his NFL 135 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: debut if Mack Gay can't go. But seems like there's 136 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: some confidence in him in that locker room. 137 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: I mean, you you hit it on the head there. 138 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: I think there's no shortage of confidence in Schrader. And 139 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 3: that's what Steken was talking about today in his press conference. 140 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: Just everything that they saw from from Strader in the 141 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: preseason and the training camp and all of that, there's 142 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 3: no doubt that they think that he would be able 143 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: to perform if he got out there. 144 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: And the story, the Straighter story is great. 145 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: Because he's an Indiana native. He just went to school 146 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: at Notre Dame and so a lot of it's it 147 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: would be a really special. 148 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: Moment for him if he did get out there. 149 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: And I think, you know everybody, everybody's got complete faith 150 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: in him, and he's got faith in himself. If the 151 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 3: time comes, he can, he can go out there and 152 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 3: he'll be just fine. 153 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: All right. So that's kind of the biggest thing we're 154 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: going to be keeping our eye on leading up to 155 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: kickoff is the Colts kicking situation. I want to talk 156 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: about some of the most interesting things we learned in 157 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: the locker room, the most interesting discussions we had. Because 158 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: we kind of get to Friday, you're sort of looking 159 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: back on the week. What did we write, what did 160 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: we hear? Amanda, you wrote a really nice story on 161 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: Alek Peers. It's up on Colts dot Com. And I 162 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: know we've talked about this a little bit on this podcast, 163 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: but like you, coming in this year, first you're covering 164 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: the Colts, not knowing the sort of background of Alec Pearce, 165 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: just hey, okay, let's evaluate this guy. And during trend 166 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: camp he had a really good camp. Yep, what did 167 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: you learn about Alec Pearson the level of preparedness he 168 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: has for this season? Given now kind of what you 169 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: have learned about the challenges he encountered in twenty twenty three. 170 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it talking with him. 171 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 3: I talked to him two different times in the locker 172 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: room on two different days, and every every time obviously, 173 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: as it happens when you talk to somebody multiple times 174 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: and have different questions, just kept learning new little things 175 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: about him. The thing that really stood out though, in 176 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: what I think was probably kind of the most impressive, 177 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: especially knowing kind of how he struggled last year and 178 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 3: everything like that, is that his reputation among everybody is 179 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: that he stays even keeled. He doesn't get too high 180 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: or too low like he's talked about. He doesn't let 181 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: himself get necessarily too high after a couple good practices, 182 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: and he won't get too low after a bad practice. 183 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: He did say he gets really upset when he doesn't 184 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: meet his own expectations, and obviously that's going to push you, 185 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: as it would anybody, but only to a certain extent 186 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: before he kind of washes it away. And I think 187 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: knowing that and knowing his approach and that's what everybody 188 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: knows him as that kind of person, it makes a 189 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: lot of sense that he has turned into this player 190 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: that everybody's talking about as who could have a lot 191 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 3: of potential because he's had so many good days and 192 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: he had such a good preseason because he's not focused 193 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: on the past. 194 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: But he's also so he's not focused on kind of. 195 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: His not great performance last year, but he's also not 196 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: necessarily ultra focused on how good he was during training camp. 197 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: He's still going in with that same mindset of the 198 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: one thing, he's not a long term goal guy, except 199 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: for the fact that he wants the Colts to make 200 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: the playoffs, and so he's gonna do He said he 201 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: would do whatever he had to do to have that happen. 202 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: But he's also just gonna take it kind of every 203 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: rep like one rep at a time, not think too 204 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: much about anything else. And he talked about this in 205 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: training camp. Just he's gotten stronger in the off season. 206 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: He's improved at running his routes and kind of being 207 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: able to play in more areas than just downfield, which 208 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: everybody knows him as a big downfield guy. But and 209 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: so I talked to Ashton Doolan as well, who is 210 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: always they've shared lockers since Pierce got to the Colts, 211 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 3: and Ashton's always just a really insightful guy to talk 212 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: to if you want to learn about somebody else, especially 213 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: And I kind of I asked him as like, so 214 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: everybody's talking about Alec right now or when did it? 215 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 3: Kind of hate you that, like, oh, Alec is set 216 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: up for a good season, and Ashton kind of leafed, 217 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 3: He's like, I've always seen that since he showed up 218 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 3: as a rookie, Like this is you're seeing this consistency. 219 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: I've seen this the entire time, and I think it's 220 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 3: just now now Pierce is kind of in the spotlight, 221 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 3: if you will, not not as much as a lot 222 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 3: of these other guys are, but it's coming to light 223 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: a little bit more. 224 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: I think he's earned his way back in there. 225 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 226 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 227 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: And the Ashton who's like, nothing's really different, but the 228 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: thing that is going to be different. And I think 229 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: why eyes are maybe a little bit more on Pierce 230 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: is because Anthony Richardson is going to be the quarterback. 231 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: And then it was coming. 232 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 3: It was I was leading up to it because now 233 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: you've got this quarterback who can really fit Alex's skill set, 234 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: which we haven't necessarily seen in the past as much. 235 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: And I think that's why you know, you ask, like, 236 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: what are the expectations for Pierce? Why should we be 237 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: confident in Alec Pierce? And it's because he's going in 238 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 3: with the right mindset. But he's also got somebody that 239 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: he can connect with who's willing to launch those balls downfield. 240 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: And we've seen how fast and how strong Alec is 241 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: in fighting for catches and that he can get up 242 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: in the air, he can catch a ball if it's 243 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: like anywhere in his range, and so that with Anthony Richardson, 244 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 3: I think there's no reason not to have high expectations 245 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: for that combination to get things done. 246 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: There's been nothing that we've seen leading up to the 247 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: season that would tamper your belief that those guys are 248 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: gonna have a good connection. And I think that's really 249 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: encouraging because I think a lot of people went into 250 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: the training camp being like, all right, well, you know, 251 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: let's see ad Mitchell beat out Alec Pearson. 252 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: That was the entire storyline, right. 253 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: But that didn't happen, and it turns out those guys 254 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: are both gonna have roles in the Colts offense all 255 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: r It's something that I thought was interesting was kind 256 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: of asking around the locker room about the young defensive 257 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: backs and the challenge they have going up against Stefan Diggs, Tank, 258 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: Dell Nicocollins, c J. Stroud, Like a lot of people 259 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: are big names, are a lot of big names, and 260 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are fairly assuming that 261 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: the US and Texans are going to have one of 262 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: the best offenses in the NFL, especially when it comes 263 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: to throwing the ball. But the thing that I kept 264 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: hearing from guys around the locker room a is like 265 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: the mentality that that those young corners have your juju, Brents, 266 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Jones, Dallas Flowers, your safety's Nick Cross in there. 267 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Like something that Zaire told me is he's like, essentially, 268 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: as long as I know, you're gonna fight with me 269 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: and you're gonna do whatever it takes to go out 270 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: there and be at your best. Like we can work 271 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: on the rest, we can work on the rest. But 272 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: he's like, I know all those guys have the right 273 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: mentality to go out there, and you know, you like 274 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: hearing that from a teammate, you got to obviously see 275 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: it now play out in a game. But the other 276 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: thing is it's it's DeForest Buckner it's Shanestike, and it's 277 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: everyone's saying, we just we got to put pressure on CJ. 278 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: Stroud. 279 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: So I love doing this, Like two days before the 280 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: season starts, I discover something new about the twenty twenty 281 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: three Colts, Like this is like one of my probably 282 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: the last thing that I'll discover about the twenty twenty 283 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: three Colts. But like I looked it up today, which 284 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: again feels like kind of late. Right, yeah, like little 285 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: cramming here. 286 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: But the twenty twenty four season hasn't started yet, so it. 287 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Has started two teams, maybe four teams by the time. 288 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: You were right, but not for the not for the Colts. 289 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: So last year, when the Colts got pressure on opposing quarterbacks, 290 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: they allowed opposing passers to average five point two yards 291 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: per pass attempt. That was the seventh lowest in the NFL. 292 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: Under pressure, the Colts only allowed sixteen explosive plays when 293 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: putting an opposing quarterback under pressure, That was the third 294 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: fewest total in the NFL. And they allowed a passer 295 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: rating of fifty four point one when other opposing quarterbacks 296 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: are under pressure. That was third lowest. So when the 297 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: Colts got pressure on opposing quarterbacks, this was a top 298 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: ten defense in terms of controlling the pass when they 299 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: didn't get pressure on quarterbacks. You can see where this 300 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: is going. Eight point one yards per pass attempt allowed 301 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: that's twenty seventh, eighty explosive plays allowed that's thirtieth, and 302 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: a passer rating of exactly one hundred that was sixteenth. Yeah, 303 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: the problem, Amanda is the Colts were twenty six in 304 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: the NFL and pressure rate in twenty twenty three. They 305 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: and I've talked about this on like every single time 306 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: I opened my mouth about the Cults. It's like pressure rate, 307 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: that's the thing. 308 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: That's it. 309 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: It is it though, it is, yeah, because if you 310 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: look at what the Colts defense was able to do 311 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: last year, it wasn't like the defense is getting pressure 312 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you had like all 313 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: these like oh my god, there goes another ball over 314 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: their heads. That that happened a couple of times, but 315 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: it didn't happen so consistently that it was a problem. 316 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: So if you can up that pressure rate to where 317 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: it needs to go, and starting against CJ. Stroud, who, 318 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: by the way, when he was under pressure last year, 319 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: he averaged six yards per attempt. That was twenty a 320 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: th out of thirty three qualified quarterbacks under pressure. That 321 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: was pretty low. But he was at nine point two 322 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: yards per past attempt twenty he wasn't under pressure, that was 323 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: second highest. So getting pressure on CJ. Stroud That is 324 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: where this game for me starts. Yep, for the Colts 325 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: and just hearing guys talk about, look, we got to 326 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: support our dbs because you know, upfront is where this 327 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: team strength is and should be, and it's start. It's 328 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: going to start with with DeForest Buckner, with Quitty Pay, 329 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: with Dio Dangbo, and with Layatu Latu transition. 330 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: Speaking of defense, yes, I mean at NFL debut and 331 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: you're going up against a team like Houston with that 332 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: sort of offense. Is is big for anybody, especially kind 333 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: of with the expectations I think that are on Lats 334 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: with the way that he's been talked about, But it is. 335 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: It's interesting because there's a sense of unfinished business with 336 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: the guys who were here last year, kind of about 337 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: the way the season ended playing the Texans, everything like that, 338 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 3: given everything that happened. But Lot two, he's coming in, 339 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,119 Speaker 3: he doesn't he doesn't. 340 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: Know about that. He you know, he wasn't on the Colts. 341 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: Last year, obviously, And it's it's interesting because he's known 342 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: everybody's talked about how he has always been asking questions, 343 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: wants to learn everything he can, talking to everybody about 344 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: everything except that except the history, except the Houston game, 345 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: except kind of the off the field emotions around everything 346 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: like that. He didn't ask about it, nobody really volunteered 347 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: anything about it, and that in talking to him, that's 348 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: kind of how he wanted it to be. You know, 349 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: he's obviously asking guys like to Forest, like, tell me 350 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: about how CJ moves in the pocket, tell me about 351 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: this O line? 352 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: What am I? 353 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: What am I supposed to be looking for? How can 354 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: I win all these one on one battles with whoever 355 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: I face? Everything like that. But everything he knows about 356 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: Houston he's gonna apply on the football field, and he 357 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 3: didn't really that the other side of like Colts versus 358 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: Texans in the Week one matchup is not on his mind. 359 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: He's not he's not focused on that, and I think 360 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: that is great. 361 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. Like he's coming in without taking 362 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: on the baggage that everyone else kind of kind of has. 363 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: And maybe baggage is not the right word there, but like, 364 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of those players, like Michael Pittman's 365 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: talked about it like the scars of last year, like 366 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: it's still kind of eats at them a little bit. Yeah, 367 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: a lot too coming in and being like no, Like 368 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: I just want to know how do I beat Laramie. 369 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: He's one of the best left tackles in the NFL. 370 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: Teach me how to do that. Whatever happened last year 371 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: doesn't apply here. And I think just that kind of 372 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: fresh approach to it is really nice to have in 373 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: the locker room. A man. The last thing I want 374 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: to talk about here, We're finally going to get to 375 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: know what Anthony Richardson looks like in a real game. Yes, 376 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, just it's been so long. It'll have been 377 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: eleven months. We'll have spent by the time the game 378 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: kicks off on Sunday, we'll have spent eleven months being like, 379 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: wonder what this is gonna look like. That's that's such 380 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: a long time. Eleven months. Yeah, the thing I wonder. 381 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: And Stephen Holder from ESPN, he actually just tweeted this, 382 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: and I think it's a really good point that the 383 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: Colts kind of retained this element of surprise with Richardson 384 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: because he didn't play so much last year. Oh yeah, 385 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: there isn't all that much film on him, and the 386 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: Colts offense never really grew into what it could have 387 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: been with Richardson back there. It was very much like 388 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: four games you sort of started to see an identity, 389 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: but then you didn't really see it. 390 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 2: To snap Nathan Taylor like everything, yeah, yeah. 391 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: You didn't get any of that. So this is just 392 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: like what does this look like? I cannot wait to 393 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: find that out on Sunday. And it's gonna evolve. It's 394 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna keep on evolving, Like you know, I asked Jonathan Taylor, 395 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: like how does it how does your relationship with Anthony 396 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: grow during the season, And he gave a really interesting 397 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: answer just about like, well, it's gonna start happening where 398 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to counter what defensive coordinators are doing. 399 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: So how do we you know, Anthony and Jonathan, how 400 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: do they figure out what to do when a coordinator 401 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: does something else that's different to them? And this is 402 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of this evolving process, like what we 403 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: see on Sunday might not be what we see all 404 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: year but man, it's just gonna be good to see 405 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: it on Sunday. 406 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think what you've got to keep in mind, 407 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 3: and I think are people are talking about this is 408 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: that it's not gonna be perfect and the Colts are 409 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: going to struggle, and there is like that element of surprise, 410 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 3: and everybody's talked about what Anthony Richardson can do, and 411 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 3: you have eleven months to talk about that, and it's 412 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: there's not really a whole lot of negatives per se 413 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: that you can bring up. But you know, he's entering 414 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 3: his second year in the NFL. It's not gonna be 415 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 3: all sunshine and rain rose and as the defense, as 416 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 3: opponents and defensive coordinators learn him and have more film 417 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: on him, and Jonathan Taylor and him working with all 418 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: the wide receivers and tight ends and everybody, he's going 419 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: to have to adapt and I think that's going to 420 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: be just as interesting as seeing him go out there 421 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: for the first time, and like you said, kind of 422 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 3: being able to see that growth, because everybody's talked about 423 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 3: how much he was able to grow off the field 424 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 3: when he was injured. Just kind of watching and learning 425 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: from that from a distance, and now he's going to 426 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 3: kind of be able to do the same thing, but 427 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: every week as he's playing on the field, and so 428 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: that's I think maybe the most exciting thing for me 429 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: is to just see how that transition kind of happens 430 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: in real time and not necessarily going from Okay, eleven 431 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 3: months ago, here's what he looked like on the field. 432 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: Now here's what he looks like on the field, And yeah, 433 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: he's learned all of these different things, but there's that 434 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: gap where you don't get to see it evolve before 435 00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: your own eyes. 436 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a fascinating season of Colts Football 437 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: at All kicks off on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. 438 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: We'll be back next week here with a new episode 439 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: of the two Minute Drill podcast presented by nerd Wallet, 440 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: Play smart, finance, Harder.
