1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Football is about the jimmies and joes and exes and 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: os check New York plenty. Ain't thank you, Bruce. It's 3 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: time to get out the chockboard and diagram some plays. 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: Here's what all starts right, Here's why Jay Money chrism. 5 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: This is Inside Football with former Colts and NFL coach 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Rick Venturi. We're back again and welcome to Inside Football 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: with Rick vent Terry. I'm Matt Taylor here at Graham Park, 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: this site of Colts training camp, brought to you by 9 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: course in Fire and Security. We're going to open up 10 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: the lid of Rick vent Terry, his expertise in the 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: NFL thirty years patrolling NFL sidelines, and we're coming to 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: you immediately after the second joint practice with the Detroit Lions. 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Colts and Lions got together on Wednesday and Thursday of 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: this week ahead of their preseason game number two on 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium. So, Rick, for somebody that 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: loves football as much as you do, our joint practices, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: are they all wrapped up up in one for you. 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: They're all in the ball game. There's no question about it. 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: And I thought this you know, it's too bad on 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: the Ogletree situation, which could have happened in a mini camp. 21 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: It could have happened anywhere. But I thought the practices 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: went well. The coaching staff did a really good job 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: of tamping down what could have gotten away from him 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: yesterday and has in other camps. I thought both coaching 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: staffs and then the teams responded. I thought we got 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: great work. It was very physical for our starters, but 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: we got out of there without a lot of fighting, 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: and I think we really grow. I saw things Matt 29 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: in the last two days that basically influenced me a 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: lot better than the rest of camp combined. To tell 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: you the truth. Yeah, well you talked about Andrew Ogletree, 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: the rookie tight end out of Youngstown State. The Colts 33 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: picked him up in the draft in the sixth round 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: and unfortunate news tearing his ACL. The Colts put him 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: on IF earlier today on Thursday. I got two questions 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: for you, what does this do for the depth that 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: tight end? And then secondly, are the cults still trending 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: towards keeping four tight ends? Because if had he made 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: the team, that would have likely had been the case 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: at that tight end and those are sixty four thousand 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: dollars questions. I think the tight end room is still 42 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: very solid. I think with Moali, with Woods and with 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: grantson kind of as a hybrid, I think that's real 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: solid as it stands for them to carry four. You know, now, 45 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: if you have four talented guys, you carry four. Now, 46 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: it might be a reach, it might be a stretcher. 47 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: I like Jacobson, but he really is an ideal practice 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: squad guy really much like Moali was, because he's the 49 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: same guy coming out of college without football experience. So 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: whether or not they carry four now, I think that 51 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: would be a question asked to the rest of the team. 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Where do we need it? What's the injury factor? When 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: we get around the eleventh it's too bad because I 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: just felt like that that is a very good room. 55 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: I like those top three guys. They all bring something 56 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: to the table. But I really felt in my heart. 57 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: Now it's it's kind of an instant evaluation. It was early, 58 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: but I felt like that Ogletree had special characteristics. Now, 59 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: I know he was drafted later, but that doesn't really matter. 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: When you get here, you're here he is you know, 61 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: he's massive. He's a guy that could block on the 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: edge and yet he had great body control, and so 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: obviously it's going to be a year away now. And 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: it's really it's really sad for him because I think 65 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: he came in and in many ways, you know, it 66 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: was one of the big stories of this camp coming in. 67 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: But it's a game of attrition. It's gonna happen in 68 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: this league. You just wake up and you go the 69 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: next day and you just pour on forward. I've always 70 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: said this, and that's why this Saturday is so important 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: for the fans to watch the guys competing for jobs, 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: because the team that we started out with in August 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: is not necessarily the team we're gonna be playing with 74 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: in December. No, all these depth situations, all these backup 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: deals are really important, and a lot of them will 76 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: be established Saturday in the game. All right, let's go 77 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: back to last Saturday, that first preseason game in Buffalo. 78 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: How pleased were you with the work that the starters 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: got in that first quarter, the starting offense and then 80 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: starting defense, takeaways by the defense, and then sort of 81 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: uneven play by those guys on offense. Well for starters, 82 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: I thought Frank did a good job of setting a 83 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: tone and the message Okay, you are gonna come and 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: you are gonna play. And I hope in a way 85 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: he does that in Week three as well, you know. 86 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 1: And so they went out there, they played a quarter. 87 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: The offense because they hadn't as many snaps, took it 88 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: on into the early into the second quarter. So I 89 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: first of all, I like the fact that we saw 90 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: them live bullets. Obviously, I look at preseason games a 91 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: little bit different. I look at them kind of in segments, 92 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I look for that. I look 93 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: for isolation of players and evaluation. Is this guy an 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: NFL player? Is this play an NFL play? Is this 95 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: guy's really struggling? This is not an NFL play? Now, 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: starting with a defense, there wasn't much not to like. 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I would say the only thing, 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: and I mentioned it the coaching staff already, the one 99 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: thing we've got to do is made sure that our 100 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: bootleg coverage and our bootleg contain is there. That was 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: an issue last year. I said it on the telecast. 102 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: They got down there because they hit that big boot 103 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: to get started, and we have got to be able 104 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: to stop that. That was really the only negative from 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: there on. I mean the five turnovers. We picked up 106 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: right where we left off a year ago. I mean 107 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: five turnovers. This defense, to me, when I look at 108 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: it in isolation, it's fast, it's very talented. I think 109 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: it's on a mission. I think with a new staff, 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: there's kind of a new kind of juice that's brought 111 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: with a new staff. I think all those factors together, 112 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: I think we're going to have some fun with it. 113 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I see, really, I see talent across the board. On defense, 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about the depth right now. I think 115 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: some depth things defensive interior. I think we got to 116 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: find it. I think the corner position we need depth. Obviously, 117 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: we lost two guys in one quarter, so corner depth 118 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: is important. But I think on the starting unit, the 119 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: only suspect or the only situation that I'm not positive 120 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: with is the third corner. I mean the otherwise this 121 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: is really good up and down. I thought Buckner and 122 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: Stewart were mid season form. I loved our safety play. 123 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: Um you know, black Men blows it up with Bobby. 124 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: In terms of getting the first turnover, Cross was outstanding. 125 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, he makes two. He makes 126 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: two touchdown saving plays in the red zone. In his 127 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: first series in football, first series in the NFL, he 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: makes two big plays in the red zone. And then 129 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: to to chronicle what you just said, great play on 130 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: the edge, shed the blocker made the play, and you 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: got Rodney, who's a really good guy that could play 132 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: either one. But I honestly believe in Blackman and Cross that, 133 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, assuming they stay healthy and they developed together, Wow, 134 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: you may be looking at two of the best safeties 135 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: in football and you're Cross, Oh yeah, absolutely this you 136 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: can First of all, Matt you can't teach that kind 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: of speed, and he has physicality with it. And then 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: we're out here on Monday. It's just in a simple 139 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: practice and there's a ball that's thrown and Blackman's in 140 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: center field, Kenny Moore tips it, he breaks from the middle, 141 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: he intercepts the ball yard from the end zone, I 142 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: mean yard from the end of sidelines and doesn't even 143 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: look like he's running. I mean, he made it look easy. 144 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: So I'm very happy there. You know, I think in 145 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: Gockway brings us edge speed, so very you know, I 146 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: feel good, obviously good about the defense offensively. Uneven was 147 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: a good term for it. But I think there's I 148 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: think you can he han't judged the cumulative because you 149 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: have two holding penalties and at offside penalty on the 150 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: one that totally destroy drives and they just kind of 151 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: distort the cumulative effect. Now what I liked, here's here's 152 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: what made me feel good. First of all, Matt was 153 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: on it. He was sharp, and when you looked at 154 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: yesterday's practice against the Lions full metal jacket, he looked tremendous. 155 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: He looks like an elite and you know, he basically 156 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: you know, he probably left a couple deeper throws on 157 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: the field, but right now, I love the quick rhythm, 158 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: get it out. The The quick out to Hines was great. Uh. 159 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: You know, I thought our running backs without JT ran 160 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: pretty well. Um and you know Pittman. Pittman shows the 161 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: physicality that he can play with. And I really even 162 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: though we got stuffed on a couple of third and twos, 163 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: but that's going to happen when you don't have options 164 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: and you're and you're just you're just lining up and running. 165 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: But I thought also Pierce looked good as the game 166 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: went on. In the route track, he ran an out 167 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: cut and then he ran that dig and he full 168 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: hands catch and he put on a show out here yesterday. 169 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: So I felt actually good about that. You know, I 170 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: think Duelan played pretty well. We got to get more 171 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: out of Campbell, there's no question about it. And I 172 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: think we got to get more out of our offensive 173 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: line in the sense that the penalty is really hurt. 174 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, the Kelly holding penalty really set us back. 175 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: Ended a drive and then you know we're one yard 176 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: away and Braden jumps outside. Can't do that. Those you 177 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: five yard penalty in the red zone is a killer. 178 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: The only concern I have, and it's the elephant in 179 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: a room, is I thought, prior to look bad on 180 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: the sack, you know that he got he got hold 181 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: and sack. I thought. I thought he really struggled with 182 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: that inside move. I was really happy to see Ryman 183 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: play forty five plays the most. I think that battle 184 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: will go on. I think that I don't think that's 185 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: a done deal yet. I think that will go on. So, 186 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: you know, but I thought the rest of it. The 187 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: tight end room was outstanding. I mean, the tight end 188 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: room was outstanding, so you know, I liked it. I 189 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: would say the big thing is depth in the interior line. 190 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: That's what we got to find. A couple guys there. 191 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: I think Ryman is going to give us that left tackle, 192 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: but right now that depth in the offensive line has 193 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: got to step it up. So as it's safe to say, 194 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: then after two days of joint practices, you feel better 195 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: about this Colt's team than you did before the practices. 196 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: I definitely feel better, and the reason for that is 197 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: that I felt like that our passing game, which is 198 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: really the key to our success, we are going to 199 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball. I mean, with our 200 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: offensive line, with JT and Hines, We're going to run 201 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, I'm not worried about that. But 202 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: as we found out last year, if you can't pass it, 203 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: if you can't stretch the field, you end up playing 204 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: on a shrunken field. A condensed field. Numbers to numbers 205 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: and they take away JT. So I was really happy. 206 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: I thought our receivers yesterday had by far substantially the 207 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: best day of the camp. I mean, I thought, you know, 208 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: Pittman was solid, he was tough, he had a good 209 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: double move for a big play, and I thought Pierce 210 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: tore it up. I mean, you know, Pierce showed you 211 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: what that top end speed means. I mean, he got 212 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: on top of him and one on one, and then 213 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: he showed you the other thing that he possesses is 214 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: he's got ball skills. He can make the tough catch, 215 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: he can make the adjustment catch. You saw it down 216 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: in the red zone. He made a terrific catch. And 217 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: I thought Dulan had his big boy pants on yesterday. 218 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Dulan as a unique guy. I think he's a you know, 219 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: we you and I've talked about this before. He's an 220 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: outstanding slot type of kid. He can get in and 221 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: run the pivots. He's I think he's gonna be really effective, 222 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: you know on at third and three where they take 223 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: away your outside guys. He's gonna be really effective on 224 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: the options and what we call the jerk routes and 225 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: all that type, the pivots, all that kind of stuff. 226 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: And then I think we got we just gotta get 227 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: I think we have to have some more design plays 228 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: and we got we gotta get Paris going because and 229 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: and Paris basically you got to get him going into 230 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: a deep part of the field. He's he's not really 231 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: a refined receiver, but he can run away from people. 232 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: So but I was really happy and I thought the 233 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: protection was good, and I thought Matt was on fire. 234 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean he had he had wild throws yesterday. I 235 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: mean that, I mean, you know, and he I mean 236 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: he didn't leave anything on the field yet, no question 237 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, I know you're more focused on the 238 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Colts defense today on Thursday as we take this right now. 239 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: So you talked about Paris, You talked about Alec Pierce 240 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: really taking the necessary steps every single day in practice, 241 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: this being his rookie season. Across the board, if you 242 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: look at it holistically from the receiver standpoint, in these 243 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: joint practices this week, where the receiver is able to 244 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: take the necessary jumps and take those steps to where 245 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: they need to be going into the regular season, because 246 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: the Colts are banking on these young guys and we 247 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: still don't know which of those young guys is going 248 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: to fill out the back end of the roster. Oh, 249 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know as well as I do. You've 250 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: done this for a long time now, is is we're 251 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: not going to know that till September eleventh, because once 252 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: you get to that game speed, there's you know, there's 253 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: different speeds. There's preseason speed, game speed, December speed, playoffs speed, 254 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: there's four different speeds in the National Football League. So 255 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: we won't know. But I felt like that our three 256 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: guys yesterday, I will say three guys yesterday played at 257 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: a good NFL level, and that started with Pittman, Pierce 258 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: and Dueling. You know, I still haven't felt parish yet, 259 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: but those three guys I felt like I could play with. 260 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: And then when you add the changeup set with Hines 261 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: and Taylor together, which we're not seeing. We're seeing it 262 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: in practice, we're not seeing it in the games. I 263 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: think that gives you a whole nother dimension. And one 264 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: of the plays that I really liked that is kind 265 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: of a throwaway, nobody even talks about it was the 266 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: seven yard out to Hines down in the red zone. Now, 267 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: why did I like it Because think of him in 268 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: there with Taylor, think of him against linebackers, and think 269 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan going back and getting it out right now, boom, 270 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: right now, right now, and he could catch and run it. 271 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: He just ran out of room. But I mean, and 272 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: so to me, that gives you another dimension along with 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: your receiver corps. So you know, I think, you know, 274 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: I just saw some things out here that I really liked. 275 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: How about the offensive line for the Colts. How did 276 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: they fare against ay a pretty formidable defensive line from Detroit. Yeah, 277 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, here's here's what I saw today. I didn't 278 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think they fared pretty well. We did 279 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: struggle a little bit on the pass rush. I mean 280 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, even Nelson had a little trouble 281 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: with McNeil inside when we won't see that Saturday. But 282 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: McNeil is a tremendous I didn't realize how quick he was, 283 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: and the first time Nelson got up there, McNeil kind 284 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: of flashed by him. Now now Q short it up, 285 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, And that's why these 286 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: practices are so good. You realize, all of a sudden, 287 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: Hey man, this is a different world. You know. I 288 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: thought prior had trouble with Chuck Harris. I did, I 289 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: really did. And the rest of the way we held 290 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: up pretty good, held up pretty good. And like I said, 291 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: we're not running the ball as well right now as 292 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to. And it's not a 293 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: concern of mine. My biggest concern is can we throw 294 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: it to win when they make us throw it to win. 295 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: So why don't you have a concern over the running game? 296 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: That's just something Well, I just think that I think 297 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: our offensive line is very good and really Prior his 298 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: issue is not the running game. I mean Prior as 299 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: a road grader. You if you run behind Quentin and Prior, 300 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get movement. But my concern about priors pass 301 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: protection against great athletes on that side. Uh, And then 302 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: you have Jonathan Taylor, who's the best player in the league, 303 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and then I think and then 304 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: you you know, now being able to use him in 305 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: hinds together you pick up some other runs too. So again, 306 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: I think our offensive line is built, you know, I 307 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: think our tight ends will block the edge good enough. 308 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: Certainly Moe has come along, and I think Johnny can 309 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: do that too. You know, whether Grantson's a little bit 310 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: more of a hybrid, but I mean I just see 311 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: no reason, and our receivers will mix it up, they'll 312 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: get in a block. Let's go to things that you 313 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: saw today on defense. What about the pass rush from 314 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: the Colts. Did they win consistently for your liking? You know, 315 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't a great day. It wasn't a bad day. 316 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Kind of what I saw today was individuals. Again, I 317 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: thought I didn't think we were as good and this 318 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: is hard to judge without having the tape in front 319 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: of you. I didn't think we were as good on 320 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: the run as I'd like us to be. I thought 321 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: they Detroit did a pretty good job of running the 322 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: ball now on loose plays. With one exception, they got 323 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: one big play on face on it looked like there 324 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a coverage like a coverage 325 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: mishap between him Um and the and the strong safety 326 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: cook I. I don't know if it was a mistake 327 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: or they just beat us. But other than that, I 328 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: thought we really moved around against wide plays. We got 329 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: so much speed, you know, in space, and I think 330 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: our our perimeter just runs so well. Um, I didn't 331 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: think we got tremendous pressure today. But I'll tell you 332 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: the guy that really the couple guys that really you know, 333 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Buckner's gonna give it to you. They have a hard 334 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: time block in Buckner. I mean, they even and they've 335 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: got top offensive Lindman. They have like four number one 336 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: draft picks, I mean, and they're pretty good players. I 337 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: mean so there some one on ones were good tests today. 338 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: Um uh, I think that one of the underrated guys 339 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: on his team is Grover. You know, I'll tell you what. 340 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. That guy is ready to go. I 341 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: thought he was outstanding Saturday. And I'm not so sure 342 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: that we may give up on him too fast as 343 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. I'm not sure sometimes that we need 344 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: to take him. Yeah. Really and here and here's why 345 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: I said. I watched him today and in a couple 346 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: of one on ones, I mean he drove. He drove 347 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: the blocker. That's what the big noise was down there 348 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: is he took the center, and I mean he knocked 349 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: him five year, he knocked him beyond the barriers in 350 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: one on ones. If Grover's Stewart is under your pad, 351 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: say you're done later. And you know, I sometimes I think, Matt, 352 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's just like having a speed end 353 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: and in Gockway and a power end in pay. I 354 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: don't think it's all bad to have that speed rusher, 355 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: because Buckner's really isn't a speed guy and then a 356 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: power guy who just destroys the pocket. Now, not all 357 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: the time. The other kid that I think has looked 358 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: very Can I predict how you're gonna say, is Lewis? Oh, 359 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say R J. McIntosh. Oh No, 360 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: Well he wasn't there. He wasn't there to day, he 361 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: was out today. But he's had a very good camp. 362 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: He really has. Macintosh has been one of the surprises 363 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: of the camp. But Lewis, I tell you, if you 364 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: didn't tell me, if somebody didn't know that he had 365 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: a serious knee operation, you would not know it. And 366 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: he was right back in there today. I don't know 367 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: if they're going to turn him loose Saturday or not. 368 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: I hope so, you know, I because he is, you know, 369 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: to me other than that front four. He needs to play. 370 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean he is to me right in there with 371 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: those guys. You know, if you're gonna put a fourth 372 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: rusher in the game right now and take and take 373 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: our nose tackle out, take Krover out, it's gotta be Lewis. Yeah, 374 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: and going back to safety. Because I know we talked 375 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: about Nick Cross, but are you done there? Does Cross 376 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: still need to play in the preseason in order for 377 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: you to feel comfortable about him going September. I would 378 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: have no trouble playing him, I would not the whole 379 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: game obviously, but you know, I think guys like that 380 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: that you you know, and particularly said because you have 381 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: another safety if he got nicked, you know, I just 382 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: think playing just makes those guys better, you know. And 383 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm I would not hesitate to play him some war, 384 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: even though I think he's going to be in the 385 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: starting lineup. The other guy that needs to play until 386 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: his tongue drops out is Odangbo. I mean, he's a 387 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: guy that counting on, you know, to be that fourth rusher, 388 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, being that utry type player. But we haven't 389 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: got it yet. We just haven't got it. And I 390 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: mean the only way we're gonna get it is to 391 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: put him in there and have them play play play. 392 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, our edge guys a Dentibo and Klein, they 393 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: showed us some depth. What I haven't seen is the 394 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: interior depth. Now Johnson was a little better today, but 395 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the same kind of interior pressure that 396 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: we saw edge pressure from backup guys now linebackers. We 397 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys battling for jobs, you know, 398 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: for particularly special teams jobs you got you know, Doman 399 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: and what you know, Weatherford I mean you got those guys. 400 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, those are battles for those bottom positions. I'll 401 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: tell you another another great play today by one of 402 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: our top linebackers, DJ sped another big interception in the 403 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: red zone on the energy. We're very athletic at linebacker, 404 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: really athletic even without Leonard right, Yes, they'll know word 405 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: on Shaquille Leonard as he remains on pup. And then 406 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: the only other major injury for the Colts again is 407 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: Drew Ogletree, who went down with a torn acl yesterday. 408 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: Kind of talked about this a little bit before, but 409 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: as we kind of close out here, the last couple 410 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: of things, Rick, who are the players that are on 411 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: your radar now that you did not know their name 412 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: or their number in late July? Well, you know, yeah, 413 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a good question. Um. I would 414 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: say that, you know, there's a couple of guys that 415 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: it's just about injuries, a couple of guys that are 416 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: and these these are not under the radar players, but 417 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know where they were going to be. And 418 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: that's Lewis and Black. I mean, those two guys unbelievable, 419 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: I mean unbelievable. I would say the two linebackers that 420 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: I think are fighting for a job that weren't on 421 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: my on my radar. I mean I knew they were 422 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: on the roster. Um is a dominant weather fifty. I think, 423 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think those guys, by nature of their 424 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: practice and their talent have have really made an impact. Um. 425 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: I think Denbo had an impact on special teams. He 426 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: didn't play in on defense, was all over the special teams. Uh. 427 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: You know, So I think that I think a kid 428 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: that we have to really look at. He hasn't he 429 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: hasn't caught the major attention. I think he's caught the 430 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: staff's attention. UM is Flowers and number third because I 431 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: think it's going to be really important. You know, you 432 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: don't think much of that fourth corner. Then all of 433 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, you get in a game and you lose 434 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: two and three. That's what happened in Baltimore. I mean 435 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: we you know, we lose Rogers, you know, and we 436 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: lose faces one quarter. So now we're struggling for the 437 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: fourth corner. Uh. I think Flowers, this is my personal opinion, 438 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: has the most talent. Now he's very young and he 439 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: may not be ready. Um. You know, Chelsea's a guy 440 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: that has been hurt, but he's been a very valuable 441 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: guy here because he's another kid that can play the 442 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: nickel and the corner. And if you remember last year 443 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: he played a lot, you know, I mean we'd be 444 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: up there in the games on the line we go, 445 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: there's old forty seven. He's out there again. Yeah, and 446 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: the kid that they're working a lot because he's also 447 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: a Nichols Brown thirty eight. Ye, So Brown is another guy. See, 448 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: it's really important when you get into that fourth and 449 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: fifth guy. You've got to have some versatility. You've got 450 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: to be able to play the outside question and kick 451 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: in and nickels question, you know, and that may hurt 452 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: a guy like Flowers in the beginning. Yeah, that'd be 453 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: Tony Brown. He wears eight cornerback out of Alabama. Bounced 454 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: around from a couple of different teams in the NFL 455 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: so far in his career. Lastly, as we close out, 456 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: do you have any goals anything that you want to 457 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: see accomplish in the preseason game on Saturday. Well, we're 458 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna scoop my intro Sunday. Here's what I 459 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: don't mean to do that here's what I'm I'm still 460 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: gonna watch. Here's what I'm looking for. Okay, I think 461 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: that the first The first thing we're looking for is 462 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: key backup players and potential starters quick and roster depth. 463 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: Now when I talk about key guys, it's guys like Ryman, 464 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: Patman Strong. Okay, We're looking at guys that you know 465 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: need to really help us. And then on defense, depending 466 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: on their health, is Odengbo and Lewis those guys really 467 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: and then we want to establish the depth. We want 468 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: to be looking at that defensive interior and those corners. 469 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: Then number two, you want your special teams to be 470 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: special because in a game like this, most of your 471 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: special teams guys are starting, they're players, and so you 472 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: want that to establish itself and be really good. And 473 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: then my third one is Enjoy Ellinger because you know 474 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: he is mister August and in games like this where 475 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: your offensive backups are shaky sometimes and protection, he just 476 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: makes it an exciting days he does. You know, it's 477 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: a it's he's a guy's a game. I don't know 478 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: exactly what his status ever is gonna be, but he 479 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: is fun to go out and watch in preseason all. 480 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to scoop You're open there, but I 481 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: appreciate you doing that.
