Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts now. Here's the voice of

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Welcome into the Colts Daily Updates

Speaker 1: next fifteen minutes. Coming up tonight, we're gonna hear from

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Parks Frasier, offensive play caller now for the Colts, on

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: his first game on Sunday against the Raiders. Also, we'll

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: hear from interim head coach Jeff's Saturday, who became the

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: first interim head coach for the Colts to win his

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: first game on the job since Ron Meyer back in

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. Colts are off today. They'll hit the

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow for the first time this week as

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: they begin preparing now for the eight and one Philadelphia Eagles.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Philly lost last night on Monday Night Football. They were

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: upset in a major way by Division rival Washington. The

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Eagles only had the ball for just over nineteen minutes

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: for the entire game, They committed four turnovers, and they

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: couldn't slow down the Commander's methodical offense and the ground game.

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: The Colts. Meanwhile, they're four to five and one on

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the season, currently in tenth place in the AFC. They

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: snapped a three game losing skid last weekend in Las Vegas,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: topping the Raiders twenty five to twenty and the offense

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: played it's best football in a long time against scoring

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: twenty five points. They went over four hundred yards for

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the game, they were balanced over two hundred yards passing

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: two hundred yards rushing for the first time this season,

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: and dialing up the plays last week was assistant quarterbacks

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: coach Parks Frasier, who will handle those duties for the

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: rest of the season, and he simplified the playbook, committed

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: bodies inside the pass protection game, helped Matt Ryan get

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: the ball out quicker, and definitely the Colts took advantage

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: of the Raiders in the run pass option game as well.

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: And he was masterful in the final minute of the

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: half dialing up plays, Parks Frasier. That is, he got

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: the ball with fifty eight seconds to play until halftime,

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the Colts went down the field kicked the fuel goal

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: right before intermission, and today Parks Frasier discussed why he

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: was so comfortable calm plays in that situation. That's one

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: section of the game plan that I have been heavily

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: involved in really the last couple of years is two

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: minute and so when we got the two minute drive

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the half, I felt pretty confident

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: in you know, the communication from me to Matt and

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: then from the staff to myself, and then obviously from

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Jeff communicating to all of us. But felt really good

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: about that the execution, the way the players handled it.

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, thought that using the time out when we did,

48
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: and then you know, communicating to JT on the second run,

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: just that we were going to try to get down

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: to a certain yard line and get down lets bang

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: of time out. Just thought the players executed it perfectly,

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, to have a first

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: time play call or first time head coach. That gave

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: us a lot of confidence knowing that we could get

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: that done. That's Parks Frasier, and he was also eased

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: in his role by quarterback Matt Ryan, who took over

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback duties on Sunday. It always helps when you

58
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's top ten all time in every

59
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: passing category. He's seen everything in fifteen years on the

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: job of the National Football League and Frasier talked about

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: his confidence in Matt Ryan, especially in end of half

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: of game scenarios. When when we got Matt that was

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: one of the first things that we did was go

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: back and watch, you know, all of his film from

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: last year, previous years. What was he successful at, what

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: was he not successful at? What do we want to

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: implement and one of the things that he's obviously extremely

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: talented in his two minute and always has been. So

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: we were collaborative because that's something that we've felt like

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: we've been good at an indie in the past a

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: couple of years as well, So it was collaborative, but

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: there's definitely some things that we brought to the to

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: our operation that he's done in the past that has

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: helped and has feel like he's given his confidence in

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: two minute operation with him at the you know running it.

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: That's Parks Phrasier on Matt Ryan in the clutch and Ryan,

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: by the way, engineered his fifth fourth quarter comeback and

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: fourth game winning drive of the season. His game winning

79
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: drive total is now sixth all time in NFL history.

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: How about the Colts defense continues to answer the bell

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: every single week. They held the Raiders to just twenty points,

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: and the Colts have shut down six teams this season

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: at a ten to twenty points or less. On the year,

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the Colts ranked fourth in total defense this season, giving

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: up just over three hundred yards per game, their second

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: and rushing average at three point seven against, and their

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL on third down giving up just

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: thirty three percent conversion rate, and they've got a stiff

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: challenge coming up on Sunday, no doubt about that against

90
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They are third in scoring, rushing for about

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty yards per game with Miles Sanders

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: as their primary running back, and they're potent through the

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: air with quarterback Jalen Hurts and Colts killer A. J.

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Brown at receiver. The former Tennessee Titan will come back

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: to Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday in an Eagle's uniform.

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: The Commanders. Last night, though, proved that Philly's not invincible.

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles suffered their first loss despite being ten and

98
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: a half point favorites at home, and this week, the

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Eagles traveled to the Colts for the first time since

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: the two fourteen season. Ay last night on Colts Roundtable Live,

101
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: interhim head coach Jeff Saturday joined the show. He was

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: honest and refreshing as always. In case you missed that,

103
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: uh the full interview in the full show, it's up

104
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: you right now. It's Coach Saturday opened up about what

107
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: the win on Sunday in Las Vegas meant to him

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: and his first time out with the Colts. It was

109
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: so much fun, you know, just um, I was so

110
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: excited for for the men and the uh you know this,

111
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and and you know, everybody, everybody in

112
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: the building. I mean you you just know how many

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: people have been working and pushing and striving, uh for

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: for uh you know, for a successful uh you know

115
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: outing and and to have that the first one out

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: was was spectacular. I loved that. I was so fired up,

117
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: um and again the celebration, the hugs, the congrats to

118
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: each other, the plane ride home. Man, it's it's why

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: you love ball, man. I mean, you know, there's there

120
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: there's no feeling in the world like it, and so

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: it was it was really tremendous. What was going through

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: your mind as you took the field, as you're running

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: to take the field, running out of the tunnel as

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: a coach for the first time, what was going through

125
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: your mind in that moment, Let's go. I couldn't get

126
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: here fast enough. I was like, man, I was I was. Yeah.

127
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: I was so tired of meetings and press conferences and

128
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: everything else. I tell everybody in the world goes quiet

129
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: when I hit that grass, and it's my favorite time.

130
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: And so when we walked down that field. You know,

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: it was funny. Last night in the press conferent out

132
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: of the game, somebody asked me, you know, kind of

133
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: about my day, and I talked about just my typical

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: you know. I woke up, my wife and I taught,

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: we prayed, and I watched church on TV or you know,

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: on my phone. And then I go down and they

137
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: were like, were you really nervous? And I was very frowzy.

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: I was really at peace. I felt like we had

139
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: an excellent plan. I felt like all the coaches were

140
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: extremely prepared. I felt like the players were prepared as

141
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: they could be, and now you gotta go out and execute,

142
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: and some days it works out, some days it doesn't.

143
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: But there was nothing that was. There's no area of

144
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: preparation that I felt like we had missed. And I

145
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: think that gave me a ton of confidence in so

146
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: much appreciation for our coaching staff, all three phases, bubbagus

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: his staff and and and obviously Parks h taking over

148
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: at at um you know, play calling. I mean it

149
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: just it. I could not have felt more confident in

150
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: the plan in place, and just so grateful they extually

151
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the players execute it the way they did. How did

152
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the game go for you in terms of operation and

153
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: mechanics and voices in the headset? Looking at the replays

154
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: the challenge flags, how did that go for you there? Yeah?

155
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: Actually really good. There's a couple of errors that I

156
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: think I made. Uh one early um uh alec uh

157
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: you know. We it was a I think it was

158
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: a first third down and he catches it, but the

159
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: ball kind of comes out right there, and uh, I,

160
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't as used to the headset, you know,

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: so I thought it was I'm yelling, you know, to attack,

162
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, and trying to get to the line of

163
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: scrimmage and let's get a playoff and we're screaming that.

164
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: But I couldn't get it communicated and and uh so

165
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: so you know felt like I, you know, I kind

166
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: of missed on that when and we talked about that

167
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: process actually this morning. UM, and it was one of

168
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: those things that even if I did not sure it

169
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: would have changed anything, but just you know, how could

170
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I improve from from those things? I felt like, Um,

171
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: we did a really good job executing timeouts, the challenge,

172
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, we had one challenge there early. George does

173
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: a great job up top. In my ear, I feel

174
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: very confident he's gonna give me the right information. And

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: John up there as well. Those guys do a great

176
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: job from an analytical perspective of hey, here's where we are. Um.

177
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: And then the execution the end of the first half

178
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: I thought was phenomenal. You know, we we get down

179
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: to get to get the field goal, trying to go

180
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: two for one, right, make a field goal, and then

181
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: and come back out and score on the opening draft

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: of the second half, but JT going down with with

183
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, three seconds to bust a time out

184
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: to get the field goal. UM, those were all I

185
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: thought really well done. And so again, you know, there's

186
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: always areas of improvement that we can make. But felt

187
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: like for the first run out. Not sure it could

188
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: have been better. Yea, Jeff Saturdays with Us tonight on

189
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: Colts Roundtable Live. You brought him up, Parks Frasier. How

190
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: did it go for him? Fantastic? Man, I mean listen,

191
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: you know um again falling under the category of you

192
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: know this is this is was his first time as well.

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: I thought all of the staff had him as prepared

194
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: as he could possibly be. I thought he was. He

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: was very um, he was very processed, driven, He understood

196
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: what he was looking for. Why all the communication from

197
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: the headsets of hey, who's in the game, what formation?

198
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Where are we yet? What are they doing to it?

199
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: All that information he was getting and downloading in a

200
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: perfect time, uh, in between series and then he has

201
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: his plays and um, guys gave great confirmation over the

202
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: headsets of what they liked, what they didn't like. And

203
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: from you know, from a play calling perspective, you want

204
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: to be armed with all the information you can have

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: because ultimately you're gonna make the call. And we all

206
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: told Parks that that man, we believe in your bro

207
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: We were we're gonna We're gonna ride where you were not.

208
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: And a second guess that there's nothing easy about that job,

209
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: and we all understood and um but I felt like

210
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: again that just the all the pieces and parts around

211
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: it really helped him excel. And then he he shined. Man,

212
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: he was. I thought he did a great job, and

213
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I was really so happy for him because, um, you know,

214
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: young and and all the you know, again, I'm gonna

215
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: bring all kinds of criticism anyway, but you know, to

216
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: have a guy like him step up, Yeah, people were

217
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: taking shots, I'm sure all the way around. But man,

218
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: good good for him that he had a great outing. Yeah,

219
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. That's Jeff Saturday, interim head coach

220
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts, here on Colts Roundtable Live. Got

221
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: time for a few fan questions, Perfect Trusco. If you

222
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: want to interact with Jeff here on Colts Roundtable Live,

223
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: hit us up on Twitter hashtag Colts Roundtable. Michael's done that, coach.

224
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: He's asking, why did you make the decision to go

225
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: back to Matt Ryan? Will that be a permanent move

226
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: the rest of the season at quarterback? Well? We, uh,

227
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: you know I had when when I came in on Monday,

228
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: you know, he was on the injury report and I

229
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: didn't know how injured he was with his shoulder. I knew,

230
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: I asked him Tuesday. I believe if he had thrown,

231
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: he hadn't thrown. And so I asked him, you know

232
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: what what you know when he was gonna do it?

233
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: And he told me he was gonna do it soon.

234
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: And then so Sam takes all the all the reps

235
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and um, so I had watched Sam and

236
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: then Matt told me he felt good, and uh, I

237
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: wanted to see him practice, so you know, from a

238
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: volume throwing perspective, I wanted him to take the lions

239
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: share the reps. And I can't remember specifically, but I know,

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: I know he took the majority whatever that whatever that

241
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: number is, I don't know exactly, but it was a lot,

242
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: and I told him to take it and go with it.

243
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: And man, he had a he had a really good

244
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: day and it was a strong day. And uh, Friday

245
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: came back and backed it up. I didn't make any change.

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: I wanted him to do it again to see how

247
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: he would respond. I knew Friday. I thought that was

248
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: our best practice. Coming off the field, Um, I felt like, man,

249
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: we we we got a shot here, right, We we've

250
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: installed two days. This day was really crisp flying around

251
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and so you know, from from that perspective, I thought

252
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: he had a heck of a day and I and

253
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Sam was a pro about it. I just I feel

254
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: like Matt gives us the best chance to win right now,

255
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: and he, you know, he's like, coach, I'm all in

256
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: no matter what it is. I'm so grateful for him.

257
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: And so that's how it was made again. Jeff Saturday

258
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: with us here on Colts Roundtable Live. Let's go to

259
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: John's question. Coach. He's asking, and I think you talked

260
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: about this a little bit just in passing there a

261
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: few moments ago. How did you handle the critics of

262
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: the Colts and their decision to hire you through no

263
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: fault of your own taking this job? Yeah, you know,

264
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of those things, man. From my

265
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: faith perspective, you know, the Lord's my defender, right, I

266
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: don't have to go out and defend anything. I know

267
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: why I made the decision I made, right. I know

268
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: how much I care about this organization, about this community

269
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: that includes players, coach, front office, equipment, training room, media

270
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: like you. You name it, right. My adulthood was forged

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: here and my life and I all over three of

272
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: our children were born here, like this place matters to me,

273
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: man and I and so I have no regrets about

274
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the decision I made. I made it u after a

275
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: prayer and talking to my wife, and again felt like,

276
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity. I've never heard of a

277
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: player having the opportunity to be a head coach. I

278
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: had seen it happen in other leagues, you know, whether baseball, basketball.

279
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: I had not seen that happen from a football perspective.

280
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna miss on it. I wasn't going to

281
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: bypass it. And and so I feel very convicted that

282
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: that I can help this this organization turn it around

283
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: this season. And I'm comfortable with whatever happens. I really

284
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: am in a really good place, and my wife and

285
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: my family are. And as far as the critics, man,

286
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: God bless them, bro. Like whatever they think that they're

287
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: right to their opinion. I'm sure they have strong conviction

288
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, I'm not calling for advice, right,

289
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: so it doesn't it doesn't really affect what I'm gonna do.

290
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: And again I don't say that, like, but I'm just

291
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: being honest, like, that's who I am as as a person,

292
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it, and that doesn't change how much

293
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: I like those people if we're friends, because I haven't

294
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: watched it or paid attention to it. But you know,

295
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: whoever it is, that will not affect how I'll look

296
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: upon them. That's Colts Interim head coach Jeff's Saturday. That's
