00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: It's Friday night and your work week is over. Get

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: back and get the latest on the Indianapolis Colts. Shot

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: at the Taylor touchdown, the ten five pick six for

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the Colts. Get up to speed on the Colts and

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: the NFL starting now, and he walks into the in

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Tone touchdown in d This is the Colts Happy Hour

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five, the

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: Fat welcome in for an hour of Colts conversation. We

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: inch closer and closer to that first preseason matchup with

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the Bills, but on a Friday night, A lot of

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: discussion regarding a Colts day off today up at Grand

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Park in Westfield and getting into a big week and

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: a burning question right here to start, well, the Colts

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: change their stance on playing time of the preseason. So

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: in the past the Colts have shied away from playing

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: their starters at length. How much of that has contributed

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: to slow starts and we've documented those. Now does Matt Ryan,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: a young pass catching group with him, defensive players in

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: a new scheme need to play more before the regular

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: season is underway. Now, I'm doubting that they will. But

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: if anything can change the outcome of what has been

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the recent past, and certainly knowing that the two road

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: games to start out Weeks one and two within the division,

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Houston and Jacksonville respectively, have to be wins, we'll see

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: what they're thinking might be. The Colts have the longest

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: active losing streak in season openers that stands at eight

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: also the worst mark in franchise history. Now Indy has

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: lost eleven of their last twelve openers, their last victory

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 1: to open a season twenty one seventeen back in twenty

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: thirteen over the Raiders. The Colts are six and eleven

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: in games played in September dating back to twenty seventeen,

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: six and eleven. So discussed that if you like at

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: JMV ten seventy, we'll get your thoughts on that. So

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: a lot to come, including more on the Colts, but

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: we always start with Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts,

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: and his conversation with Colts head coach Frank Reich. It's

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: down now for our weekly report with head coach Frank Reich. Coach.

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: First off, the pads came on this week. How did

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: you see the evolution of camp this week? With the

40
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: pads and the intensity sort of ramping up a little

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: bit right where we wanted it to be. You know,

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: they're more physical, can now finish plays a little bit

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: better in all three phases, and we got to put

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: in that work that you've got to condition yourself for

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the hitting. You've got a position battle going on there

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: at left tackle Matt Prior, you know, Bernard Riemann, rookie

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: out of Central Michigan, but it's been primarily with the

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: first team offense. How have you seen his evolution focusing

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: primarily at left tackle? How did that go for him

50
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: in the off season and then early on in camp here?

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Matt's worked very hard. He really fits in well, he

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: understands what we're trying to do. He's putting in the work.

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: He's come here and ready to work, and it's been

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: a good start to the camp. We still got a

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: ways to go as an offensive line to continue. Joe

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: and that spot right you know, I mean right now

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: it's Matt, but that's obviously an important spot for us.

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Another camp battle. Safety. You've got an interesting dynamic there

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: between Roddy McLeod and he got some run with the

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: first team defense this week and safety Nick Cross and

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. How do you prioritize the playing time?

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Is it a guy that has a ton of experience,

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: ten years in the league, over one hundred and twenty

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: starts versus a rookie that's just dripping with talent all over. Yeah,

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: we just let it play out. And Chris and I

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: must say that to ourselves ten times a day as

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about different battles. It'll play itself out. It'll

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: play itself out. We liked the competition, We like the

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: guys we got. So it's the consistency of practice, rep

70
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: after rep, practice over practice, and then you know we'll

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: make the best decision for the team. You know, you've

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: got Alec Pierce coming in as a rookie wide receiver.

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: What are some things about his game and his production

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: so far that tells you he's ahead of that that

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: rookie curve coming in as a first year player. Feel

76
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: really good about him against press coverage that's where a

77
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: lot of rookies struggle, and you know he's doing a

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: good job. It's not perfect. You know, he's gone up

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: against some good corners, but he's doing a good job there.

80
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: And then you know he's got that combination as size

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: and speed, and so he's you know, you're able to

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: go up and get the ball, get behind the defense.

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: So so far it's been a good start. Another receiver,

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Ashton Dolan, has one of the highlights of camp with

85
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: that acrobatic catch the other day. Where does your confidence

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: in him come from? What tells you he's capable and

87
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: ready for a lot more? Just what he's done since

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: he got here. He's just proving it over and over.

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: He never flinches, He steps up to the plate every time.

90
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: He's getting better every year. We have a lot of

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: confidence in him right now. You know, I know tight

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: ends are a big piece of your offense. Have you

93
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: ever had a group this this big and this tall?

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean kyl and Granson's he's the short guy and

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: he's six foot three. Where do these tight ends rank

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: in terms of your I already within the offense? Yeah,

97
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: were very feel, very good about this group. As you said,

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: it's a it's a big part of our offense. And

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: you know it starts with mos A. He's a very

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: versatile player, he's a great leader. Moe knows how to

101
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: get it done. And then you know Kylin, you can

102
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: just see he's gotten better than more confidence. And then

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: there's two young guys. I mean, I really think they're

104
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: going to contribute. You know, they both have a different

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: skill set, but at one level, when you play tight end,

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do it all. Yeah,

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: But then within that, as coaches, we have to know

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: how to utilize the little different things that each one

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: of them do. Let's go back to defense a little bit.

110
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Bobby o'karaka, how has he transformed himself as a player

111
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen until now as a fourth year guy.

112
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: I just think I see a lot better instincts. You know,

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: he always has had the mind and the body and

114
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: the athleticism, but I think he's playing with more confidence.

115
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: I think he's playing more instinctively and not just by

116
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: the book all the time. I think that's been the

117
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: big step. Now, you said that this week or the

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of camp have been all install

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: You're throwing a lot at the players, and now going forward,

120
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: maybe next week, it's all about kind of funneling that

121
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: down and getting to a point where you feel good

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: about the things that you do well. What's that process?

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Like how collaborative is that with the staff? And then

124
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Nick Foles. Yeah, it's very collaborative by

125
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the staff. We're getting a lot of feedback from the

126
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks all the time, especially Matt. You know, I mean

127
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: it's just very important. You know, we can't go into

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: week one still trying to figure this out. You know,

129
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: we need to figure we need to figure out that

130
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: core right now, I feel like we really got a

131
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: good start on that. He's provided excellent, excellent feedback, excellent

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: vision for what he likes, and excellent assimilation into what

133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: has been our core offense as well. All right, Then

134
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Sunday coming up, it's the weekend practice, another sellout crowd,

135
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: and then a couple of practices next week in full

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: pads before you play that first preseason game against Buffalo again. Evolution,

137
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: What do you want to see from camp? What do

138
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: you want to get out of these next four days? Man,

139
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about it, Matt, like in these segments, you know,

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: these these segments that we got, Man, how everyone is

141
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: so vital and listen, we know we have not as

142
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: a team started out well for the most part in

143
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: our time here. That just cannot be the case. We

144
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: got to get the most out of these segments. We

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: got to come together as a team. We got to

146
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: develop the competitive toughness in situational football, third down, red zone,

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: be really good on special teams right from the start,

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: to carry that into Week one. So that's the way

149
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: we're approaching it. Get those to get ready for us

150
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: for the preseason games. Those preseason games are big evaluation

151
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: time right for a lot of the young guys as well.

152
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: So looking forward to it. Now, you talked about situational football.

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: It's red zone at short yardage and you're practicing those things,

154
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: but you're also not in game planning against the Colts defense.

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: Does that matter? How do you evaluate your success in

156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: practice when you're not necessarily game planning for your opponent

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: in practice, which is the Colts defense. Yeah, well it

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: definitely matters. That makes a difference because you're when you're

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: game planning it. It does help you a little bit.

160
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: But we're more looking. We know once we get into

161
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the season, we know those first couple of weeks who

162
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna face. We kind of know what they're going

163
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: to play, so we want to get reps at those plays.

164
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: So but that give and take is good. There's still

165
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a lot that you can evaluate and you still get

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: good looks at it, and then you never know. You

167
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: never You don't always have the perfect call. So we're

168
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: good with coming out and it's not always the best

169
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: call against our defense, but we still got a fine

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: ways to make it work. That's Frank Reich on the

Speaker 1: tickets are free, advanced registration will be required to attend.

206
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: for additional details as the event gets closer. I believe

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: because they just held it on Navy Pierre in Chicago

208
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: earlier this week. I know Buddy Guy was up with

209
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Jim Ersey and Ann Wilson of Hart was doing some

210
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: lead singing. Mike Mills of Rim. One of the co

211
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: founders of Rim the band, Kenny Arnoff is I think

212
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: going to be a part of this coming up in

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: September as well. It should be fantastic at Lucas Oil Stadium.

214
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: So again, the tickets are free, but you do have

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: to get yourself signed up do that. The Brandy question

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: tonight is what do you think should they play more

217
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: the regulars? I am very hesitant to say that they should,

218
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: but a change in how things have gone at the

219
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: beginning of the season and in particular in the month

220
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: of September in recent history that absolutely has to change.

221
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: We'll dive back into that question coming up in just

222
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: a minute. Also, the update on single game tickets that

223
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: are remaining for some of the games on the Colts

224
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two schedule. That and more coming up this

225
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: reminder later on tonight. The return of Bob level to

226
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Indiana Sports Talks later on tonight coming up at nine

227
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: thirty on those stations around the state with Network Indiana affiliation.

228
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: Meantime earlier in the week, It's always one of the

229
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: best conversations I have. He is fantastic, not only talking

230
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: but doing what he does on the field. Eighteen hundred

231
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: plus yards of rushing a year ago, Jonathan Taylor was outstanding.

232
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: And if you missed our conversation earlier this week, here

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: it is Jonathan Taylor joins us Now, Hello, Jonathan, how

234
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: are you? How are you? Man? This is a pleasure

235
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: to be on right back at you. How does one

236
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: raise the bar after having a spectacular productive season as

237
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: you did a year ago? Really, it's just find in

238
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: different areas in your game that past season where you

239
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: felt like you excelled in and being able to continue

240
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: to work on that and to stay sharp in your craft,

241
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: but then also really dissecting and doing some self searching

242
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: on what are some areas that I didn't excel in,

243
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: some areas that I wish I could have been a

244
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: bit better, and then being able to build your off

245
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: season playing around that to really attack that and make

246
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: that one of your strengths Jonathan Taylor's with us. I

247
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: saw you on the NFL network either over the weekend

248
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: or late last week, and you had mentioned how much

249
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: you watch tape. And I know everybody watches tape, but

250
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: you watch it apparently with more of a critical eye.

251
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily look for what you did at a

252
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: high level. You look for what you need to take

253
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: and match that particular high level. So with that in mind,

254
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: what did you see a year ago that you add,

255
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: absolutely no, you need to improve upon that. Maybe we

256
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: did not seem really just being able. What are you

257
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: doing with the ball when the play breaks down? Everyone

258
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: loves when a play is blocks perfectly, everyone is on

259
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: their assignment. But are you still able to stay pacient

260
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: and play smart football, know the down and distance, and

261
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: being able to play great football when the play breaks

262
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: down when things aren't perfectly blocked the way the play

263
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: is drawn up to be. So being able to stay calm, cool, collected,

264
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: understand the situational football that we're in. Being able to

265
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: execute still at a high level. A lot of times,

266
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I know the great backs they're able to still execute

267
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: rather than just say, oh, well, the play broke down,

268
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: so you know that one was a messed up play.

269
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Have you always been able to give yourself a very

270
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: or look at yourself on tape with a very critical eye.

271
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I definitely have, just because it's it's your resume. It's

272
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: what you're putting on film. It's almost like when you

273
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: go into a job interview and they say, hey, you know,

274
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: we took a look at your resume and we really

275
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed everything that we saw. And essence, this is what

276
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: you're putting on tape for your team, your teammates, your coaches,

277
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: the front office. That's your resume. What are you doing

278
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: on Sundays? What are you doing in practice? What are

279
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: you putting on tape? So you always want to make

280
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: sure you're putting your best foot forward. Jonathan Taylor is

281
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: with us too. The thing that I really admire about

282
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: you and you talked about getting your degree at Wisconsin

283
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: in philosophy and how you view that or how you

284
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: implement that in your daily routine. And I mentioned routine

285
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: because of this, you like to you put together a

286
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: kind of a list of things to do right. I mean,

287
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: you have a plan each and every day for yourself

288
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: as a part of this career in football. That you

289
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: have right, Yes, it's always critical to have a plan.

290
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: When you go to build a house, you never go

291
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: in with a blind eye. You always you have a

292
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: blueprian an architect, and you build a plan together and

293
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: you map it out before you even lay one piece

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: of wood down, one piece of stone, whatever it may be.

295
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: So you always want to go into anything that you're

296
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: doing with the plan. What was your plan today? My

297
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: plan today was to come in make sure that I

298
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: got all my preparation in. It was a bit of

299
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a lighter day, so all of my body worked prep

300
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: and being able to just really make sure I'm locked

301
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: in for this lighter day we had. It may not

302
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: be a physical day, but these are critical days the

303
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: mental prep. The mental aspect is a huge part of football.

304
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: So whenever you get a chance to rest your body

305
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: and not put as much strain on it, and you

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: have a chance to stress your mental it's actually almost

307
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: really as important as a physical day. So making sure

308
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: that I was locked in on anything that may have been,

309
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of on edge, making sure that I

310
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: was secure with everything that we had going on today

311
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: so that I'd be able to really attack the day today.

312
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: John the tail of the Cults on the Andy More

313
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Automotive Group potline. I want to knock on wood because

314
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm superstitious you have been incredibly durable, not just so

315
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: far here an indie, but over your football playing career.

316
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: What do you equate that too. What you're talking about

317
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: here is that a part of the routine, your durability

318
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: and production is that because of your routine implementation day

319
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: after day, really having a plan each and every single

320
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: day on what to attack as far as body work wise,

321
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: what can you do in order to one mitigate your

322
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: injury risk as much as possible? And two what are

323
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: you doing to better yourself in a sentence, whether that

324
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: making sure you have a more doorsuslection, make sure your

325
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: hips are more mobiles. So all of these things play

326
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: a part on making sure that your body is able

327
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: to withstand the really force that you put on it

328
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: each and every single day, every single week throughout this season.

329
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: And I think it's imperative that guys are really staying

330
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: in tune to that because this is a physical game

331
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: and over time, not being able to stay in tune

332
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: with your body, it's bound to break down. So Jonathan

333
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Taylor of the Colts on the Andy Moore a Montive

334
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Group potline. Do you have a threshold like your go

335
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Obviously you put up in incredible numbers over eighteen hundred

336
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Do you have a thought in your mind

337
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: where you can get in a given season and how

338
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: many carries that you would need to get there? Oh,

339
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: you never know how many carries you're going to have

340
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: each season. That's why it's it's imperative in the off

341
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: season to make sure that you are maximizing each and

342
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: every single day that you have in the off season

343
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: to prepare for any kind of workload that you may get.

344
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: Whether it may be JC, we need you to run

345
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards this game, or JC, we need

346
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: you to block this mic linebacker fifteen times this game

347
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: and we'll win the game. So, no matter what your

348
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: task is, you just need to make sure that you're

349
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: preparing in the off season each and every single day

350
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: for any kind of workloads you may get. Do you

351
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: have a perfect number of carries per game that you

352
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: would like to see? Do you think it's just optimum

353
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: for you in general? Is there a number? Oh? Well,

354
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: if coach comes to me and he says j T

355
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: will give you one carry this game and we'll win

356
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: the game. I'm off for it. Whatever it takes for

357
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: us to win the game. That's what I'm willing and

358
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: able to do for the team. He is Jonathan Taylor,

359
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: the coach joining us. I'm assuming you probably noticed this

360
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: because you look at the numbers and you're watching film,

361
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: and we'll get into some of the other stuff you

362
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: do as far as you know, maintain that level of

363
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: durability in a second. But have you noticed the numbers

364
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: with your new quarterback, Matt Ryan, what he has had

365
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: over his career when he has had a good running game.

366
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Is that anything that you've talked about with your new quarterback? Oh,

367
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: I meant Matt's amazing and just the way he demands

368
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: excellence from others but himself as well. I mean, you

369
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: guys should see how he's critical of himself. As we

370
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: just mentioned how I'm critical of myself and watching film,

371
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: he's very critical of himself. So just being able to

372
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: make sure that we're all on one page and on

373
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: one accord, because Matt Ryan is just the kind of guy.

374
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: You know. He is on his pe than his cues.

375
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: Every time he steps on the field, every time he

376
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: steps in the meeting room, and it makes you want

377
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: to make sure you're at your best every single time.

378
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: So being able to be by his side has been amazing.

379
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: I've been able to learn so much from him as well,

380
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: with his experience. I mean, there's not much he hasn't seen,

381
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: so just being able to be on one page with

382
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: him has been awesome. But what's the first thing as

383
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: far as his leadership quality? When was that apparent to

384
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: you when you first met him? Really, the first time

385
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: was when he came into the building and I first

386
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: met him, and you know, of course, you know, it's

387
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: an honor, Matt Ryan to meet you. It's a pleasure.

388
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get out there and work with you.

389
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: And his first thing was, you know, I can't wait

390
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: to get better with you. It wasn't I've already arrived, Yeah,

391
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait to work with you, JT. It was

392
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get better with you. So he

393
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: came in with a mindset of I've been sixteen plus years,

394
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: but I still haven't arrived yet. So that's when I

395
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: knew the kind of leader that he was. He's still

396
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: growing and trying to learn to this day, and I

397
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: would imagine you guys, You and you guys as a team,

398
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: you would know if there was some leadership being tossed

399
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: out there that was a little bit forced. It sounded

400
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: like from day number one he came in and and

401
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: you know he leads, and everybody you know truly understood

402
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: it and certainly bought into it immediately. And you know

403
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't always happen. I'm assuming in the locker room

404
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: like that. No, Matt Ryan, you just feel that presence

405
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: that he has that energy as I know that I'm

406
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: here to work every single day. I know I'm your quarterback,

407
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: and I know you guys are looking towards me to

408
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: lead you guys. But we're going to do this together.

409
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the best that I can and

410
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: everything that I've learned in my experience to help you guys,

411
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: to help lead you guys. But I'm still learning as well.

412
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: So when when you have a guy like that, it's man,

413
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: I want to do everything I can to make sure

414
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: that I'm at my best with this guy because he's

415
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: he's already way ahead of where I'm at and he's

416
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: still trying to learn. So that tells me that I

417
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: have a long way to go. So that kind of

418
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: leadership when you're pulling and bringing guys with you. I mean,

419
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: that's that's what you want in locker room. The league's

420
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: leading rusher in twenty twenty one is Jonathan Taylor of

421
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: the Colts, who's on the Dymore Automotive Group. Potline you.

422
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned your durability, which is absolutely again knock on

423
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: wood amazing. You're somebody that you do a lot of work,

424
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: not just physically with your body, but you do a

425
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of work right to understand your body, pressure points,

426
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: things that maybe others before you haven't done. If you

427
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind, I'd like you to maybe break into a

428
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: little bit of how in tune you are with your

429
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: body and just how much smarter you try to be

430
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: with that in mind as you get older. Oh, I'm

431
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: super in tune to my body. You know. Anytime you

432
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: go into the training room, anytime you're working on your body.

433
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I love to learn all the the terminology as far

434
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: as ligaments, muscles, trigger points, anything that I'm getting worked on.

435
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: So that is easier for me to communicate with my

436
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: team the training room to say, hey, I think this

437
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: is what's going on, rather than going in and you know,

438
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys do the basic I'm kind of feeling,

439
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, this area right here, this is what it

440
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: feels like a little bit. But rather than that, I

441
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: can go in and say, hey, I believe it's this

442
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: muscle right here, or I believe it's this ligament, but

443
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, can you take a check? This is what

444
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. So now we're able to be more efficient

445
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: with our time and we're able to get a lot

446
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: more done. So I just feel like if guys are

447
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: able to really be in tream with their body, they

448
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: can be a lot more efficient with their time when

449
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: they're making sure their bodies are in tube and running

450
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: backs get beat up, you know. Obviously we had one

451
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: here in the latter portion of his career and Frank

452
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: Dore that went on and on and on. But running

453
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: backs like that that had that longevity a few and

454
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: far between. You think that the work that you're doing

455
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: right now to understand, especially the soft tissue situation in

456
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: your body, can lead to that longevity that not a

457
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: lot of running backs and at least in the last

458
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: ten years of recent history of end I would hope.

459
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: So that's the goal. So I'm going to continue to

460
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: stay on this plan and hopefully that's where it leads.

461
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor with us on the Endy Moore Automotive Group potline,

462
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: how long did the end of the season fade with

463
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: this team during the regular season? Hang with you in

464
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: the off season. I just believe it. It stayed with

465
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: everybody throughout the off season as a as a reminder,

466
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: not as you know, thinking about it vividly day in

467
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: and day out, but as a small reminder in your

468
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: back of your head. So, hey, let's make sure I'm

470
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: I can, so when the time comes, I'm able to

471
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: execute no matter the situation, no matter where we're at,

472
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: no matter who we're playing, what we're doing, I'm able

473
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: to execute because I I thank that working in the

474
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: off season. I know I have and I know I'm

475

Speaker 1: you good to see Matt? Thanks for having me guys. Absolutely,

514
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: what's it like being up here? I know you come

515
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis for the combine and and other events, but

516
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: now that you've seen Grand Park, what are your first

517
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: impressions of camp? I'm moving out here, man. It's a

518
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: great setup, perfect weather, great, great little facility here. Yeah,

519
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: it's a little slice of the heartland. Absolutely, Yeah, it

520
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: was good to watch the team that gets a good

521
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: work in. Sure they keep it pretty light. You know,

522
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: it wasn't an overly long practice. Yeah. Yeah, that was

523
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of good observations to be made, all right.

524
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: First impressions though, of the offense under Matt Ryan. What

525
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: did you take away today when you watch practice? So yeah,

526
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: I kind of thought the defense played pretty well today.

527
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just me. Yeah, no, you're not wrong.

528
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily think they had a ton of explosive plays.

529
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: I know they're doing a lot of red zone work today.

530
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: First thing is that stood out those nihiem Hines to me,

531
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: I just it seems like a Nihim Hines offense. Because

532
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's great at the screen game. So obviously he's

533
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: not the number one option. That's Jonathan Taylor and maybe

534
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. But what he had forty catches last year,

535
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: that's going up. I don't think there was any doubt

536
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: about that, and so I'm interested in that dynamic is

537
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: how it works with Taylor, and I think they do.

538
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: I think they are mindful here of wanting to get

539
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: his work to low down a little bit, sure to

540
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: preserve him, but they also know he's a special guy

541
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: who can handle it. So I'm interested in that balance,

542
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know, be interesting to see

543
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: if like the speed they have on the outside is enough.

544
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, they have some guys that are intriguing Paris Campbell.

545
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: You know, Alec Pierce coming in. We know he's fast,

546
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: you know, can they stretch the field enough? You know,

547
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: we know what Michael Pittman can do with his size,

548
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: but do they have enough speed to break you down?

549
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm interested in that, Jeremy. I'm curious as you go

550
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: around different camps over the next couple of weeks, what

551
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: are you looking to learn about a team and what

552
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: sort of just like things are you trying to pick

553
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: out when you're you're here for a day or two.

554
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: So it's sort of low hanging fruit, but we do,

555
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, try to get whatever nuggets we can.

556
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: But night, he minds, yeah, exactly exactly. So because we

557
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: do a big file, myself and Dan Graziano, we combine

558
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: on some of our camp trips and just say here's

559
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: some things we either learned or or talk to somebody about,

560
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: or we're just watched from an observation standpoint, and you

561
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: try to put it all together. Like last year, I

562
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: remember going to Rams camp and Cooper cut. Like. I'm

563
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: no mad football scientists by any stretch, but I'm like,

564
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: why is Cooper Cup catching literally every pass in this practice?

565
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, the guy's gonna catch one hundred twenty balls

566
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 1: next year? And he did? He did. Yeah, So you're

567
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: almost kind of looking for the next the next Cooper Cup,

568
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: not that there is one, but just the next sort

569
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: of breakout guy. Yeah. Um, so that I'm looking for that,

570
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 1: And I'm looking for trend stories. Whatever I'm working on,

571
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: I'm looking for news. You know, are they going to

572
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: get the Quinn Nelson deal done in the next day

573
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: or two while I'm here? Probably not, But like you know,

574
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: you're keeping track of stuff like that. Jeremy, speaking of

575
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: you know, storylines and things like that. Where where do

576
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: you have the Colts in the hierarchy of the AFC

577
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: South going into this season? So? Are they the favorite

578
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: in your opinion in the AFC South? I would so

579
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm torn on that because I would say from a

580
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: roster standpoint, maybe yeah, I would make that argument right now.

581
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: I just I've always been bullish on their roster. I

582
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: think they have enough to be a fit to be

583
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: called a favorite. But remime me, whins the last division title?

584
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: Yeah it's been a while, man, I just like, why

585
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: aren't they getting it done? Every team has won one

586
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: since then. Yeah, So that's that's my only hold up, Like,

587
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: why is any getting done? Maybe this is the year

588
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: they know, they feel like they have the quarterback to

589
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: do it, to put it all together. Um, you know

590
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: the plays that they might have missed last year. You

591
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: know they feel like Matt Wall missed those, and you

592
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: know the offense will have a little more structure to

593
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: it probably. So from that standpoint, I see it. You know,

594
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: there's enough pedigree if you're ranking talent based on position

595
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: and players and blue chip players like they have it,

596
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, So I like it from that standpoint, So

597
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: I would go I would roll with that. Well, when

598
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: you have conversations with folks around the league, what have

599
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: you heard about Matt Ryan and the fit here with

600
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Frank Reich? Just the fit here culturally from a leadership standpoint,

601
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: and how the culture able to get that deal done. Yeah,

602
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: the fit is seamless. You know, people I talked to

603
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: look at the fit as ideals and especially for what

604
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: they got for him. They did really didn't give up

605
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: very much. Yeah, So the question is just, uh, you know,

606
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: his game holding up. And I think that's been a

607
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: question for a year or two. And I don't know

608
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: if all that is fair. Like he can still play.

609
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: I think that's obvious. Um, you know, they're questions about

610
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: the arm strength hasn't diminished some some of those things.

611
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: So can that hold up? You know, he is he

612
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: d He's always been durable, but can can the body

613
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: hold up and be mobile enough when you need him

614
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: to be to make plays? That's really more of the

615
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: question than the fit. I think the fits tremendous, But

616
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's not Philip Rivers. Like when Philip came

617
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: here two years ago, he was very statuesque in the pocket.

618
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: We've seen Ryan Mpson Playzer's rolling out and you're still

619
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: seeing the athleticism. Obviously it's not where it was when

620
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: he was twenty eight, but it still is showing up.

621
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: Just from a meshing standpoint with Frank Reich too. Um,

622
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: you know that's something that I've had conversations with folks

623
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: cover the league nationally. They've said, you know, like, well,

624
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: we can't wait to see what Matt Ryan can do

625
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich. Are you kind of hearing similar things there?

626
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I think so all the Arthur Smith is pretty good too,

627
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Like he's you know, and he's been around some good

628
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: offensive minds and he's shown when he's around that he

629
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: plays well right Arthur Smith, Kyle Shanahan. So if you're

630
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: with the right guy, it works, you know, um, and

631
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: he's got the running game now to work around it.

632
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: I think probably one of the better offensive lines he's had,

633
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: which will make a difference. I think his mobility, or

634
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: the questions about his mobility were sort of compromised by

635
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta's moving parts right, not only with overall talent, but

636
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. I think the Atlanta will be

637
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: a little bitter this year there. But you know, there

638
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: were some issues before and so it makes him look

639
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: maybe more immobile than he is. I don't think he's

640
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna win the game, you know, running to the sideline

641
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: throwing sixty five yards on a rope, But yeah, he

642
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: can move around a little bit. I am eager to

643
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: see that. Jeremy Fowler is our guest covers the NFL

644
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: for ESPN ESPN dot com, and you hear him on

645
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio, and you're dialed in the league in terms

646
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: of contracts and who's getting one in pay days and

647
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: things like that. Jeremy, what do you make of the

648
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: receivers from the two nineteen draft class basically saying here's

649
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: what we want and for the most part, those guys

650
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: got it. Is is that trending either positively or negatively

651
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: around the NFL? How is it going to affect roster construction?

652
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty shocking. I'm a little surprised they all

653
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: got what they wanted, the good players. But you see

654
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: so many he was coming in the draft every year.

655
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm surprised more of these teams didn't say, well, we're

656
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: just gonna wait because we'll draft a guy, right. But

657
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: now it does depend on the player. You know, Tennessee

658
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: made that choice with j Brown. No matter how much

659
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: they love DJ Brown, they're just like, it's just from

660
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: a cost analysis standpoint, doesn't make sense for us to

661
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: give you twenty five million dollars a year, So they

662
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: went drafted somebody else. They could suffer a little bit

663
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: as a result, you know. Yeah, but I think the

664
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: structure of their offense, they feel like for what they do,

665
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: they can get somebody to at least fill that role,

666
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: maybe not as good, but do some of the same

667
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: functions where some of the other players I think you

668
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they're It's like any position, right,

669
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: if you're if you can do everything and you're sort

670
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: of like scheme transcendent, you know, can't lose type option,

671
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: then you get paid. I think we saw that with

672
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. Is he that guy though, Like I don't

673
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: think he's that guy? Which one I mean? I mean

674
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: in terms of like you you can't replace him? Well,

675
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: Debo and DK Metcalf. I do think the two guys

676
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: have got paid. I think they're kind of irreplaceable if

677
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: you do, just because they're so unique. Yeah, now you

678
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: can try to draft another Debo, but he's for what

679
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, I'm saying, maybe I get eighty percent

680
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: of that and I don't have to pay. That's that's

681
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: the calculation. That's why I'm twenty five million dollars a year.

682
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: That's why I'm surprised that all these Tennessee was the

683
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: only one that that opted for the other way, right,

684
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm surprised more teams didn't do that. Like, if there

685
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: are five receivers that got paid four or five. I'm

686
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: surprised that three of them didn't opt for Tennessee's plan

687
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: right ended up only being one. I'm just shocked because

688
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: every year the draft is so loaded with receivers, and

689
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: these guys are saying, we want the second contracts right now.

690
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: I just don't know if you can afford to pay

691
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: your quarterback thirty and your top wide receiver twenty five

692
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: because the rest of your team is going to be

693
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: dollar general. Well, that's true. I did talk to a

694
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach about this recently, though. He said, like

695
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: the really good ones, like if you have a unique trait,

696
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: whether it's speed or just ability to get open more

697
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: and more, you're drawing a larger percentage of the defense

698
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: to you, right, whether it's two guys or even three

699
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: guys in some cases, Like if you look at it

700
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, then that equals money. Like if you

701
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: can take twenty percent of the defense, that's that's worth

702
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money if you look at it that way.

703
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: So I thought that was interesting. There's a good way

704
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: to look at it. But I you know, I don't

705
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: know if all those guys do that on a consistent basis.

706
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: We know, like a Tyrek Hill does that because of

707
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: his speed. But and he got an up seeing contracts,

708
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, so yeah, But I mean like Green you know,

709
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay in Kansas City. I forgot about them. They did,

710
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: they did go to Tennessee route. It's it's interesting, I think, Um,

711
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: it really depends on your philosophy and how much you

712
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: evaluate and care for homegrown talent. I got' say Michael Pittman,

713
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: he becomes a huge star. Chris Ballard has shown he

714
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: likes to pay his guys as opposed to somebody else's guys,

715
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: So maybe he would pay that massive price for a

716
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: guy like that. You're talking about Tennessee and nat and

717
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: making that decision with A J. Brown. What's your sense

718
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: of the plan they have, because it seems like to

719
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: me they they have started to an act more of

720
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: a long term plan of kind of shifting what direction

721
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: they might be going as a franchise. But you trade

722
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: a J. Brown, you replace them with Traylon Burke's in

723
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: the first round. You know some other things with where

724
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Tannehill is in his career, where Derrick Henry is in

725
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: that contract. What do you think John Robinson's plan is there,

726
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: and what's your sense of kind of what their direction is. See,

727
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that's a rebuilding suggestion, not rebuilding,

728
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: but almost like retooling on the fly. Yeah. Maybe I

729
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: think part of it is just for as much as

730
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: they liked AJ Brown, that offense with the running back

731
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: and the quarterback you have, I just don't think you

732
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: need a receiver to run a hundred different routes and

733
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: you target them twenty times. So I think because of that,

734
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: they said, Okay, well it's hard to pay twenty five

735
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: million dollars for that, no matter how much we love

736
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. So I think it's more down to

737
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: that where they feel like they can they can still

738
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: manufacture points thinking Okay, we didn't pay the money to Brown,

739
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: so maybe we take a little bit of a step back.

740
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: But they also have a lot of guys they need

741
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: to pay. They're similar to Indian that way, where they

742
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, they drafted some good players. I do think

743
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Henry will get another deal at some point.

744
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons is a guy you have to pay. They

745
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: just paid Harold Landry. Yeah, if you don't pay Simmons,

746
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: now you gotta pay them next year. They have some

747
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: really good mid round picks that they have to pay

748
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen at some point. So I think part

749
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: of it's like you're just budgeting for that. You can

750
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: only pay so many stars. It's really six or seven

751
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: guys max. So do they take a step back this

752
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: year or do you see them still being kind of

753
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: that top level competitive team in the AFC South. I

754
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: just have a hard time ever counting them out. And

755
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: you saw last year, right, but the way they were

756
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: just dominating good teams of time. All they did was

757
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: win playoff caliber games. Yeah, and then sometimes they fall flat, right,

758
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: So you'll get that unpredictable game or two from them.

759
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: But I think the culture they've established a Mike Rabel

760
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: is strong enough where even if they take a step back,

761
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: you'll be minor, all right. Last one for me, Jeremy Fowler,

762
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: is our guests. You've been so gracious with your time.

763
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: I know you've got a run, but looking at this

764
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: AFC conference, have you ever seen anything like this? I mean,

765
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: as of right now, who do you cross off in

766
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: terms of not being a viable playoff contender? There's sixteen

767
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: teams here Jeremy. I think everybody has a legitimate chance

768
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: because of the quarterbacks, the young quarterbacks, and just the

769
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: parody in this league seems to all reside on the

770
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: af c's ledger of things, if you will, right, Like,

771
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm literally looking at the AFC teams right now. I

772
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: mean the Jets. Maybe maybe you cross out the Jets,

773
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: but I've even talked to some execs who think like

774
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: they could be a sneaky playoff team, right. Um, you know,

775
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville could be a year away. Houston's pretty clearly a

776
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: year away. So you know, Pittsburgh paying how you feel

777
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: about them, right, But I would say they're at least

778
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: twelve teams that are really really hard to cross off. Yeah,

779
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, and only seven make it. New England still

780
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: seems in a bit of a transitional phase, right. Um. Yeah,

781
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: it's tough. I mean it's the AFC West. You gotta

782
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: think at least two teams get out from there. Uh

783
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: and if and if two don't, they're gonna be two

784
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: good teams, right maybe Raiders or Broncos like teams that

785
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: probably should make it. So Uh, it's it's an issue.

786
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the the NFC, if you're if you're you know,

787
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: Tampa or the Rams. You're pretty happy because it's it's

788
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: much more frontloaded than the AFC. Question about that, all right,

789
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler, where are you ahead of two next? So

790
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: AC North might swing down to the Titans for a

791
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: day if I get time, But I think right now

792
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying go to Cincinnati. Got one more day of

793
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the Colts and then AFC North Fangals, Steelers, Browns. He's

794
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: on the movie do you get Do you get a

795
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: break at all? I mean when you're touring as many

796
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: camps as you can over the course of a month

797
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: or so, what I mean, how long are you on

798
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, it's not that bad. It's im right now.

799
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm only doing seven teams, so that's manageable. You know,

800
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: you want to get home to your family and all that,

801
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: so you don't know to be too long. But this

802
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: is a fun time because this is like when it's there,

803
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's not the pressure of the games yet.

804
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,880

836
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: receiver Paris Campbell. Case We're live out here at Grand

837
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: Park and we are joined by Colts wide receiver number one,

838
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell. Paris, how are you doing great? Man? How

839
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: about just so, oh, I'm doing great, can't complain. We're

840
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: a handful of days into camp here and one of

841
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: the things we have noticed is the connection between you

842
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 1: and a new quarterback to this Colts offense and Matt Ryan.

843
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive connection you have to this point in camp. Yeah. Yeah,

844
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's been fun, man, and you know that

845
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: connection isn't just starting. You know, that's something we've built

846
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: doing in the offseason and you know, just getting those

847
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: extra reps and you know, before OTAs we were out

848
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: there throwing, and then after OTAs, before camp, we were throwing.

849
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: So you know, we've put in a lot of working,

850
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: a lot of time. So now I want to talk

851
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, that's one of the things that

852
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: he mentioned, how he was going to kind of take

853
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: select groups during that during that summer period. And how

854
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: many different times did you guys throw? So we threw

855
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: about four or five times before OTAs and then obviously

856
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: worked all throughout OTAs and then at th O Tiers

857
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: we got in another three sessions before camp, so we've

858
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: we got some pretty good work. Now I want to

859
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: go a little more inside, you know, maybe outside of football.

860
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: What is Matt Ryan like a guy? I mean, what

861
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: have you learned from him just maybe outside of the

862
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: game of football. Yeah, man, he's dude. First of all,

863
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: he's just an outstanding person to be around. Yeah. Obviously

864
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: he's a family man. You know, his wife and his

865
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: two twin boys. Um, you know, he's a man of God.

866
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: I mean he's everything you wanted a person. Obviously, everything

867
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: you want a quarterback as well. But um, you know

868
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: he's he's taking time, you know, like just away from

869
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: football to kind of get to know us and you know,

870
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: getting our families and you know kind of spend that

871
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: extra time with us and just you know, hanging out. Um,

872
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, you know, we're pairs,

873
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: were teammates, but that goes, you know, much longer than

874
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: football does. I mean, I know, the natural comparison. When

875
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: you look at the guy who's here a couple of

876
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: years ago, do you see similarities between him and Philip Rivers? Yeah? Absolutely, Um,

877
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, just that veteran mindset that they both have. Um,

878
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of like they're almost like always a step

879
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: ahead of the defense, you know, just their ability to

880
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: see stuff before it unfolds. Um. And then you know,

881
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: just like holding us accountable, you know what I mean,

882
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: Like just um, you know, him being his veteran self

883
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: accountability goes a long way with him and um, just

884
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: like his presence and just overall everything that he brings

885
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: to the game and brings his offense. It's like it

886
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: makes you want to, you know, just make plays for him,

887
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: just because you know he's such a great guy. We're

888
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: talking with Paris Campbell out here at Grand Park. One

889
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: of the things you mentioned was, you know, last year

890
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: you had the injury that happened, but you were able

891
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: to get back towards the end of the year, and

892
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: it was one of your first off seasons healthy. Looking

893
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: back at how you feeling, how how are we feeling now?

894
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: I feel great. Uh, it's it's it's crazy because like

895
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: you said, like I went, uh, you know, two whole

896
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: seasons without having you know, a real or three whole

897
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: seasons without having a real off season, right, um. You know,

898
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: So being able to have that under my belt was huge. Um.

899
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: I was able to you know, go out to Arizona

900
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: and train a little bit and uh kind of get

901
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: away from Indy. Uh, and I having to be here,

902
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing rehab. But I was good man. I

903
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: feel great. Um, you know obviously you know it's early

904
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: in the year and I got to continue to take

905
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: care of my body and do those seas necessary so

906
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: that I can hold up it with a stand the

907
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: whole season. I know. One of the things we talked

908
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: to you during that Ota period that there's a lot

909
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: that you haven't shown. You know, there's a lot of

910
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: Colts fans out there that just don't know much about

911
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell. What are you hoping to show them here?

912
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two. Shoot, just I'm a I'm a

913
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: reliable guy, man. I think I just want to be

914
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: one of those guys when you talk about the closes offense.

915
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure they mentioned my

916
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: name and I want to show them that playmaking ability

917
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: that I have. Obviously, you know, uh, you know, I

918
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: want to show that to the fans into the world,

919
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: but you know, I want to prove that to my

920
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: teammates and my coaches every single day as well. Shoot,

921
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: improve it to myself. You know, I know what I'm

922
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: capable of, but it's it's up to me to go

923
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: out there every day improve it. Well, one of the

924
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: things you talk about showing, you know, what you can prove.

925
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of been something that the national and a

926
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: little bit of the local media has talked about how

927
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: this wide receiver group it's young and kind of unproven.

928
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: Does that give you a little extra fire to kind

929
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: of go out there and just kind of, you know,

930
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: show people there's a little bit more here than what

931
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: you're seeing. Absolutely, you know, as many people would play

932
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: that played this game at this level, you know, obviously

933
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: it comes with critics and uh, you know, it comes

934
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: with social media just the time where now in this world,

935
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: social media is a huge thing. And you know, any

936
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: player that says they don't see that stuff, they don't

937
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: listen to that stuff their lining because it's everywhere U.

938
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, so definitely U not only motivation for me,

939
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: but I think it's motivation for our group. Uh you know,

940
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: we we see those things, were read those things, and

941
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: you know it kind of just adds to the chip

942
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: on our shoulder that we already had. One of the

943
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: guys is brand new into this system. You got Alec

944
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: Pierce comes in as a rookie. You know, what have

945
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: you seen from him? I know we're very early into

946
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: this process, but what have you seen from him so far?

947
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: Man explosive? You know, he's really explosive. He's a smart kid.

948
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: A lot a lot of the stuff that he knows

949
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of stuff that he sees is something

950
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't think every average rookie sees and can feel

951
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: and play, you know what I mean. I think that's rare.

952
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: One thing that I always noticed just his body control.

953
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: Uh you know, sometimes he'll be in a route and

954
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: it looks like he's like all over the place. Where's

955
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: about to slip, but his ability to just gain that

956
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: body control back and like go up and make a

957
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: crazy grab like it's insane. I think that's one thing.

958
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: Like his athleticism goes a long way. And um, you

959
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: know not, I don't. I don't think people have you know,

960
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: gotten a chance to see that because it's early, but

961
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: I think I'll see it every single day now. One

962
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: of the things this team was active during the off season.

963
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: They added a handful of pieces on defense. I mean,

964
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Stefan Gilmour who were going

965
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: with up against every single day. How much is that

966
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna make you guys better? Oh, it's it's it's gonna

967
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: be night and day man. And I mean obviously, you

968
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: know we had Kenny Moore just these past making us better.

969
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: But um, you know those two guys, and then you're

970
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: bringing Rodney McCloud another veteran Brandon facing and yeah, all

971
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: these guys and it's gonna be huge for us. Just

972
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: I talked to Pitt about this all, like all the time,

973
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: because me and Pitt are always talking about how we

974
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: can beat these guys each and every day. And you know,

975
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: I grow up to Stefan Gilmore asking well, what did

976
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: you see on this roud? What was the difference between

977
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: this and that day? And you know, he's giving me

978
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: feedback back. So I think that's good for me just

979
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: because I can take that into the season when I

980
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: go against you know, top top guys. But you know,

981
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: people forget Stefan Gumer was the best corner in the

982
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: league years ago exactly. Like like I think, honestly like

983
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: just getting those reps aicainst those guys, like come game time.

984
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's gonna be easy, but

985
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be prepared for sure. We're talking

986
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: with Paris Campbell out here at Grand Park and training camp.

987
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: One of the guys is kind of maybe not necessarily

988
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: a new addition to you, but Naim Hines is gonna

989
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: be utilized a little more in the passing game. What

990
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: does that add I mean, you get a guy like him,

991
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: you put you on the field along with Pitt and

992
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, that's pretty four elusive guys out there. Yeah. Man,

993
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun definitely. Uh you know, like like

994
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: like I said, like people are gonna want to watch

995
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: this coach offense and what not. Him brings to this

996
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: offense is dynamic, like just get the ball in his hands, man,

997
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: and the thing it was not him like he can

998
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: do he can do everything he can obviously, you know,

999
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: he can tope the rock, we can hand and give

1000
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: him handoffs. But he can also get in the slot

1001
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: and run routes. And I think that, um, that's something

1002
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: within him that's very valuable because not a lot of

1003
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: guys can you know, play both positions and you know,

1004
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: be able to get in the slot and actually run routes.

1005
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: And me and not him, like me and him are

1006
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: so locked in because you know, we look at ourselves

1007
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: as the two speechers of his offense, right so we

1008
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: got kind of like a little sonic and shadow thing

1009
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: going on right now though. But it's cool, man, I'm

1010
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: excited for not him and um, I think you know,

1011
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: the more we utilize him is it's gonna be it's

1012
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna be hard defenses to stop us. Well, find a

1013
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: couple of things with Paris Campbell out here, we've seen

1014
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, pretty packed houses a couple of times out

1015
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: here Graham Park. How much can you feed off that energy?

1016
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Kind of gearing into twenty twenty two, finally kind of

1017
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: a normal season for the first time in a couple

1018
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: of years. Man, it's fun. It makes these you know,

1019
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: these long camp days worth it, you know, getting out

1020
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: there with the fans man and being able to you know,

1021
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: interact with them and engage with them, and you know

1022
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: they come to support us. Man, they want to see

1023
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: plays being may they want to you know, just feel involved.

1024
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: And I think that that energizes us too, because you know,

1025
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: I camp gets long. That it's five weeks long, you

1026
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So once we're in that in

1027
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: that three week four we rangeing, we got there and

1028
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: see the fans, man, it just makes it makes it fun. Now.

1029
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: One of the things that we heard Michael Pittman talk about,

1030
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: you got a new wide receiver's coach in there and

1031
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne. He says he wasn't super familiar with Reggie's career.

1032
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: How familiar were you with Reggie? And also what can

1033
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: you learn from Reggie as he walks by us? I

1034
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: was I was ever familiar to him? And Marv Man right,

1035
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: and you know I'm I'm four hours up the road

1036
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: right exactly. Yeah, definitely, Uh, you know, watch those guys

1037
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: and um, like my thing is with Reggie like it's

1038
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: it's just such a different dynamic because he played this

1039
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: game and he played that at a very very high level.

1040
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this dude is about to be a Hall

1041
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: of Famer, so right, Like just a knowledge that he

1042
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: brings to the game and him being able to translate

1043
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: something to us but then take it to the field

1044
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 1: and actually show us. I think it goes a long

1045
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: way and it's gonna be huge for us. Like we

1046
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: got a young group, but learning from a guy like Reggie,

1047
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it easy. Coach Wide Receiver Paris Campbell
