You know, 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 4: you might have a kerfuffle here and there during those 48 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 4: joint practice. 49 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: All those games, oh yeah, I mean you gotta you're 50 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 3: on the It's like you're on the sidelines calling the games. 51 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: I mean like calling, hey there's Rashan Perriman with an 52 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: eighteen yard you know, stuff like that. Yeah, you're gonna 53 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: be working up there as well. 54 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's competition, man, I mean, even though it's it's 55 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: not a game, even though the score is not being kept, 56 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: it's it's the heat of the battle, and you're gonna 57 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 4: have ones on ones and you're gonna want to have 58 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: guys that that show out and and do well against 59 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: a starting defense or a starting offense. So that's to 60 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: be expected. But you're right, those four night practices, those 61 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: are the highlights of training camp. And I remember the 62 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 4: night practices last year up at Grand Park. They were packed, 63 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 4: they were full of energy. Those are always a very 64 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 4: enjoyable night at camp because you got the sun setting 65 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: in the background on an Indiana night football is going on. 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 4: It's like a Tom Petty song, right, Hope is in 67 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 4: the air. It's kind of a special time. So outside 68 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: of that, most of the practices during the week they're 69 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: in the morning. I like that you're gonna have all 70 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 4: of the theme days. You're gonna have Kids Day, Youth 71 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: Sports Day, you'll have I saw Salute to Service Day, 72 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: of course, Fan Appreciation Day, and several others. So, as 73 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 4: you said, Jeffrey, the Colts are one of only a 74 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: few teams left that that still do this right, that's 75 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 4: still prioritize hosting training camp off site in front of 76 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: fans for free, and they do just a tremendous job 77 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: with it.

But we 89 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: do have some news on Colts cornerback Isaiah Rogers, who 90 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: has been suspended for the twenty two three season for 91 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: violating the NFL's policy on gambling. 92 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: The NFL takes this stuff very, very seriously. 93 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: Earlier this offseason, four Lions players and one Commander player 94 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: were suspended for gambling violations. Don't forget about Calvin Ridley 95 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: and what happened with him in a few years. Sitting 96 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: out the entire twenty twenty two season mayte it stinks. 97 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 5: I know. 98 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: Isaiah Rodgers went on social media and said, hey, I 99 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 3: take full responsibility for my actions, but what does this 100 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: mean for Isaiah and the rest of his career? 101 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: Well, we also got to mention too, Jeffrey. It also 102 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: affects another Colts player. That's where Shad Barry. He and 103 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: Rodgers have both been suspended indefinitely and at least through 104 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: the twenty twenty three season for violating the league's gambling policy, 105 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 4: and the Colts signed Barry at a defensive end off 106 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: the Jags practice squad right before the end of last season. 107 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 4: But Rogers certainly the biggest name here and it obviously 108 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: puts his career in flux. And before we go further, 109 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: I just want to say that, you know, I know 110 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 4: Isaiah to a certain extent. I think he's a good guy. 111 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: I think he's a good dude. I didn't think he 112 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: meant to harm anybody. But he just made a bad decision. 113 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: And lord knows, we've all been there, right, No one 114 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: is perfect. He just made a bad mistake. But the 115 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: NFL is pretty clear on these things, and I can 116 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 4: attest that these players do get education. They do get 117 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 4: information on the gambling policy, just like the front office 118 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: members do, just like staff members do. But this was 119 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: going to be a big year for Rogers, right. This 120 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: was the last year of his rookie contract, so he 121 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: was in ligned to possibly get extended in the offseason 122 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: if he had a good year, and he had everything 123 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 4: in front of him right, a chance to start, a 124 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 4: chance to play more than he ever had in his 125 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: first three years. I mean, we've seen players bounce back 126 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 4: from season long suspensions before, but certainly his options are 127 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: going to be more limited next offseason now because he 128 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 4: will have sat out an entire season. But again, the 129 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: NFL is pretty clear on this stuff. If you're a player, 130 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: you can't bet on the NFL. You can't bet from 131 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: the team facility. You can't bet on team trips and 132 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 4: Rogers and Barry, they've both been waived by the Colts, 133 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: so they're no longer a part of the organization, and 134 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 4: Chris Ballard put out a statement earlier this week saying 135 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: that you know, the integrity of the game is of 136 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 4: the utmost importance. The Colts will continue to educate players, coaches, 137 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 4: and staff members on the policies in place and the 138 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: consequences that occur when you violate them. 139 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 3: Okay, don't forget. We're brought to you by our friends 140 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: at FanDuel. FanDuel make every moment more Matt. I had 141 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: to do that. I just had to segue into the 142 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: FanDuel read that, because we are brought to you by FanDuel. 143 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: So it is a fine line. Guys are saying, hey, 144 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: we want you part of our company. If you will, 145 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: we want you part of our You know what rain 146 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 3: the NFL has over sports in America, especially in around 147 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: the world, and we want FanDuel there and DraftKings and 148 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: everything else. 149 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: You just can't bet on it. 150 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the bottom line, is like you've got 151 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 3: to split that right down the middle and say, hey, 152 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: I understand they have an agreement with them, their partners, whatever, 153 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: but when it comes to doing that and you play 154 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 3: in the league, it ain't happen. What does this mean 155 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: for our roster depth at cornerback? I hate to go there, Maddy, 156 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: but let's go. We got ball games starting up in 157 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: a few months. 158 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 159 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 4: No, I mean the Colts are are. They're thin at 160 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 4: that position when it comes to experience. And that's not 161 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: necessarily a bad thing, because I think they have a 162 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: lot of young, up and coming talent. But that's just 163 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: the reality of where they're at right now. So you 164 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 4: look at it. Kenny Moore the second, he's really the 165 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: only Colts cornerback that has started consistently in the NFL, 166 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 4: and he's primarily a nickel corner. So that means the 167 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: Colts could have two new outside corners for next season, right. 168 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: You got Dallas Flowers. He played a lot of corner 169 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: at the end of last season because of injuries, and 170 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: he played well. He held his own and I think 171 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: he's developing. You've got Tony Brown and Darryl Baker junior. 172 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: They're both veterans, but they've never really been consistent starters 173 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 4: in the NFL. And then you've got the highly touted 174 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: rookies who the Colts took in the draft, right Juju, Brince, 175 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 4: Darius Rush, Jalen Jones, you know Brent's and Rush. They 176 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 4: missed some time in the offseason workout prog due to injuries. 177 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 4: But I did the math the other day. I talked 178 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: about this earlier this week on our podcast. But Kenny Moore, 179 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: the second Jeffrey, he accounts for eighty one percent of 180 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: the NFL snaps returning at cornerback on the Colts roster 181 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 4: for next season. So long story short, it's a wide 182 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: open competition for the two starting outside corner spots, and 183 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: I have no idea how to handicap that because I 184 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: think it's gonna evolve as the season progresses as well. 185 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: So certainly that's up in the air. But the secondary 186 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 4: in general, it's gonna look much different compared to last 187 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: season because Rodney McLeod and Brandon Fason, they both left 188 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: the team in free agency. The Colts traded Stefan Gilmour 189 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 4: to Dallas. They moved Julian Blackman from free safety to 190 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: strong safety in the offseason, and then you've got Daniel Scott, 191 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 4: who they also took in the draft. He's part of that. 192 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 4: They drafted him at safety. He's gonna miss the entire 193 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: season after tearing his ACL and OTA. So again, long 194 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 4: story short, the secondary is anybody's guest right now. That's 195 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 4: one of the biggest up in the air things for 196 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: this team going into training camp. 197 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: This is the last word. That's Matt Taylor Boyce the Colts. 198 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: I'm Jeffrey Gorman week in and week out, getting you 199 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: ready for in this case, training camp. 200 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: Maddi. 201 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: We went all over the positions on the field recently, 202 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: but now we got to talk about the defensive line. Now, 203 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: I want to talk about a couple guys in particular. 204 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: Is this a big year for Quitty Pay and Dioha Dangbo, who, 205 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: by the way, we're going to hear from after a 206 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 3: break in a minute, dioa Dangbo going in and I 207 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: think's going to have an incredible year. But listen, last 208 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: year this defensive line they recorded forty four sacks mate 209 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: the second highest total in franchise history. Talk about Quitty 210 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: Pay and Dio in particular and the step that they're 211 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: going to. 212 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 2: Take this year. 213 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're going to take big steps, and 214 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: quite frankly, I think the Colts needed. I think they're 215 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: counting on that because they invested highly in those guys 216 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago with their two first picks 217 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 4: in the draft, and so for both guys, year three 218 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 4: for them, and that's where you see defensive ends kind 219 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 4: of really start to take off. And I think that 220 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 4: could be the case for both of these guys who 221 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: have shown great flashes in their first two years. They've 222 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: had big moments so far in their careers. But Dio 223 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 4: really came on at the end of last season when 224 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: his playing time ramped up because of the injury to 225 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 4: Taekwon Lewis. That's when he was getting on the field more, 226 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: staying on the field, getting more comfortable just by playing right. 227 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: He had five sacks last season, four of them came 228 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: in the last four games of the season when he 229 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: was basically, you know, a pseudo starter. So I think 230 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: now that he's starting to feel one hundred percent healthy 231 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,359 Speaker 4: and starting to feel more himself coming out of Vanderbilt 232 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: before that achilles injury that hampered his rookie season, I 233 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: think he's ready to take off. And then you got quit. 234 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 4: He had six sacs last season, but he missed five 235 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 4: games with that ankle problem. Jeffrey, I think he could 236 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 4: have started with ten sacks last season if he was 237 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 4: fully healthy. So I think both guys need to have 238 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 4: big years, and the Colts need them to have big 239 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 4: years because of what they can do and what they 240 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: need to do to compliment the interior pass rush from 241 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: their studs like the Forest Buckner and Grover Stewart. If 242 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 4: you've got the inside pass rush plus the outside pass rush, 243 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 4: and thirty quarterbacks have nowhere to go. And that's what 244 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 4: the Colts are consistently looking out of or trying to 245 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 4: get out of their front seven and pass rush for 246 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: next season. 247 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: Mate Janik and Goatway Gone had a nice year for 248 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: the Colts last year. But a new free agent that 249 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: is in there, Samson Abu Kom talk about him what 250 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: he brings to this defense. 251 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he can be pretty impactful for next 252 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: season because I mean the Colts sought him out pretty 253 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: early on in free agency and made him a priority 254 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: to bring him in very quickly to the Colts. I 255 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 4: mean last year with the forty nine ers had a 256 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 4: career year, five sacks, seven tackles for loss. He had 257 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: forty eight total pressures last season too. Don't overlook that 258 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: that's a total that would have ranked second on the Colts, 259 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: behind only to Forest Buckner. So he's been a pretty 260 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 4: consistent player. You know, he hasn't really been a ten 261 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: sack a season type of guy. But I think he's 262 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: got a chance to be more impactful, if you will, 263 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 4: if that makes sense, more impactful through sixty minutes than 264 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 4: Unique Gockway was last season because he can play the 265 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 4: run well, he can set the edge, and I think 266 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 4: just if you watch his tape, he's more of an impactful, 267 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 4: consistent disruptor than the Colts have had the last couple 268 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 4: of years on the edge. 269 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: Excited about this defensive line unit, mate.

I love that going 302 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: into his third season compared to his first two seasons 303 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 3: in the NFL. 304 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 5: It feels completely different. It's by nine and day. I mean, 305 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 5: obviously coming in as a rookie, everything's new, and then 306 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 5: obviously injured, things are a little different. But I mean 307 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 5: the last two years there's been a lot of growing 308 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 5: and a lot of work that's been done here in 309 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 5: the facility. So I mean just those hours and then 310 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 5: time on the field. I feel extremely comfortable going in, 311 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 5: going through this offseason and right just comfortable with the guys, 312 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 5: comfortable in the scheme, and then just comfortable around the 313 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 5: city and then the building. 314 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 4: How's your off season been to this point? Where do 315 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 4: you feel like you're getting better from last year? 316 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 5: I mean I feel ten times stronger, more explosive. I mean, 317 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 5: like I said coming off the injury. Even through last season, 318 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 5: you know, it's still things that are lingering with, not 319 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 5: necessarily just the injury, but your entire body and the balance. So, 320 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: I mean, I haven't felt this good in a long time. Really. Yeah. 321 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: So I'm feeling really good right now and I'm excited 322 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 5: for this. 323 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 4: Is it safe to say that we haven't seen the 324 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 4: one percent fully ready to go dio a Dangbo yet 325 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 4: through two seasons? 326 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 5: I think so, I think that's safe to say. So 327 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 5: I'm excited to be able to put that on display 328 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 5: this year for sure. 329 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: That's Dio Danngbo with us for you coming back again, 330 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 4: and this is your third year, but this is your 331 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: second season in the Gus Bradley defense. How important was 332 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 4: it for you to have Gus and Nate Ali, your 333 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 4: position coach, come back for another run in Indianapolis. You 334 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 4: were in danger of having a third defensive coordinator in 335 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: three years dating back to your time in college at Vanderbilt. 336 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 4: How important was that for you that stability within the 337 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 4: coaching staff. 338 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's really great to be able to 339 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 5: come into something that you're already familiar with and you 340 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 5: kind of have a year of learning and going through 341 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 5: the growing pains of in a new system, which was 342 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 5: something that was different for everybody in the building. So 343 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 5: I feel like as the defense, we're really excited for 344 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 5: this year and really confident in our ability to improve 345 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 5: from last year. Improve within this scheme and within this defense. 346 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: You find the terminology is down. You find yourself playing 347 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 4: faster and free er, so to speak. Is that fair 348 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 4: to say? 349 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely. I mean when you know it like it's 350 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 5: in the back of your hand, you're able to play 351 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 5: free and think about the things that are going to 352 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 5: help you win rather than think about what you need 353 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: to do when a play. So I think that'll be 354 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 5: something that's important for everybody on the defense. 355 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: That's Dio Dangbo with this Cults defensive lineman. As you said, 356 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: you know, you feel like you haven't been able to 357 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: put out your best output because of injuries and some 358 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 4: lingering things. But last year you had a career high 359 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 4: five sacks, including three and a half in the last 360 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 4: couple of weeks of the season. Where did you feel 361 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: like you were kind of hitting your stride or get 362 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: maybe getting into a zone towards the end of last season. 363 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I feel like I started to get 364 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 5: more confident about halfway through the season, and I think 365 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 5: the last four games I felt the ability to dominate 366 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: at times, so and that's who I felt like I 367 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 5: was in college, and I feel like some of those 368 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 5: feelings so that you get being on the field and 369 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 5: the comfortability and the muscle memory started to come back, 370 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 5: so right, I think that started to show up at that. 371 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: Of the year and in the playing time too. The 372 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 4: playing time for you towards the end of last season 373 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 4: really ramped up. How much did that matter? Just physically 374 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: being on the field and getting more comfortable just because 375 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 4: you're in between those white lines, you're not on the sidelines. 376 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean being able to play that many snaps 377 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 5: obviously you're getting comfortable way faster, and it's just the 378 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 5: opportunity to make plays and know that you're being trusted 379 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 5: to be out here and not kind of going in 380 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 5: here and going in there. So knowing that you're going 381 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 5: to be out there and you're trusted to be out here, 382 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 5: and being able to play your game right and perform 383 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 5: at a high level. 384 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: You know, this year, new face and hopefully it's a 385 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 4: big time contributor, just like yourself. Samson ebicom it comes 386 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 4: over in free agency. What do you like about his game? 387 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 4: What do you appreciate about his style of play at 388 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 4: the defensive end position. 389 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we watched a lot of him on 390 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 5: tape last year just scouting other years, so sure I 391 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: was already familiar with his game and he always popped 392 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 5: off the tape. So now being able to see him 393 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 5: in the building and see how he works and kind 394 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 5: of his process has definitely been a help. Just as 395 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 5: I'm growing through my career and heading towards being more 396 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 5: of a vet instead of a new player, right, So 397 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 5: kind of just going through that transition period, it's been 398 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 5: a huge hope to be able to see different guys 399 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 5: in different styles of how they work in different places. 400 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 4: You know, within that staying with your teammates at a Tamawah, 401 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 4: at a bar A who the Colts drafted on Day 402 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 4: three of the draft, at a Northwestern coming out, he's 403 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 4: kind of like that tweener guy just like you. You know, 404 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 4: you can play all over the defensive line. That's what 405 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 4: he did at Northwestern in college. How can you help him? 406 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: What what pieces of advice can you give him? Since 407 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 4: you guys are similar type players, and again your rookie 408 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 4: season was not that long ago. 409 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just some of the things that the 410 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 5: growing pains are coming in as a rookie and just 411 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 5: trying to find your feet and find your confidence of 412 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 5: trying to be that player that got you here and 413 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 5: growing into a player that you know that everybody believes 414 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 5: you can be.
