Speaker 2: Welcome back, man. How are we doing today?

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: I'm doing good, you know. I was close to ir

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 4: there with the back, but we're not going into tent yet.

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 4: We're ready to go. That win nothing like a win,

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: as you know, that was so much fun. That's what

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: we work for. Every effort that we put in three

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five days a year is really all

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 4: about winning, and so winning is really really fun and

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: the no question about it. That was such a good

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: feeling coming out of there.

33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: So you're saying, through two games, the cults are breaking

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: your back, right, they're giving you a tinges.

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: In the back.

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: Actually, in a way they did. I was so intense

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: for that first game and we were on there a

38
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: little bit. We're on the air a lot longer now,

39
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: which I enjoy, and I was so tensed up and

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: I was hunched over, focused on the game. And they

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 4: actually think that I spasm the back, if you can

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: believe that. My wife keeps saying, you want this young

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: quarterback to play so well, she said, you tensed up,

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 4: and you know what, I think she's got a point.

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: Well, we got to get you off the ir now

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: that that four week period can't come soon enough. We've

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: got to get you off the injured reserve and back

48
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: to practice. And then back on the game field here.

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: So all right, let's recap the Texans game here quickly.

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: A lot to talk about, obviously as we get into

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: the blueprints coming up against the Ravens. But I mean,

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: you love the fact that the Colts took care of

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: business against a you know, an inferior team.

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: It was thirty one to twenty.

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: But if you watch the game, and you studied the game,

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: and you watch the film, really the score was not

57
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: really even that close. But there's always things to learn

58
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: from and a win and a loss. So give us

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: the pluses, give us the minuses from the Houston game.

60
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: For the Colts, well, the pluses is just like you said,

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: you never apologize for a win. I mean you there

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: is not a team, including the Houston team, that can't

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: beat you on a give them Sunday. So you have

64
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 4: to take care of business. You know, I thought that

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: we really Shane had them ready. I thought we came

66
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: out on fire and basically hit him in mouth right

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 4: off the bat, broke their will early, which I had

68
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: hoped for. But we did it. And you know, we

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 4: went in there just established ourselves from beginning to end.

70
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: As you said, we dominated certainly from for three quarters,

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: that's for sure. I thought a couple of things. I thought,

72
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: first of all, our quarterbacking was terrific both you know,

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: ar got us off to a great start with his

74
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: legs I mean two just phenomenal touchdowns within about a minute.

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: I mean, which is struck. I mean it was like lightning,

76
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: you know. And then Gardner came in it was nineteen

77
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: for twenty three did his you know, death by a

78
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: thousand paper cuts, and so I think, you know, we

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: got really good quarterback play. I thought Moss came in

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: and gave us a banger, which we really need to

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: keep Monest inside. In our offensive line, I thought did

82
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: really well. You know, we had enough yards rushing and

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: no sacks, so those three things were critical. I thought

84
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: our coaching staff did the best job to me technically

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: and running a game plan that I've seen in a

86
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: long time. In the first half, I thought Sheen did

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: a great job of adapting in immediately changing gears. You know,

88
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: when he lost Anthony and he went right to Minshew.

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: Now he's he does have an advantage and he's done

90
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: that before. But that was that, you know, that goes

91
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: totally different, that goes from you know, a NCAA quarterback

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: run centric, you know, to to to a classic NFL

93
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: offense with a sprinkling of NCAA and that is not easy.

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: And to me, he made that transition like nothing ever happened.

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: And of course that's that's why we wanted him, you know,

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: but he really showed the flexibility under fire. You know. Defensively,

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: we did what we had to do. There was two

98
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: things that you had to do in this game. I

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: can pick things clean, but there was two objectives and

100
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: that was to totally stop the run and pierce Well,

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: you can check that box. You know, he had two

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: point one yards rushing and I knew that if we

103
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: did that and got them into a dropback game, that

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: we would be able to get after their quarterback and

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: particularly get after their offensive line. In the six sacks

106
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: were you know, indicative of that. So again, check the boxes.

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: A lot of things we can correct on both sides.

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: We'll talk a little bit about that, but by and large,

109
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: we came in there. You know, we saw we came

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: we conquered whatever, and I was I was really proud

111
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: of it. But I really enjoyed the football, I think,

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: and you know, I talked about Shane. I think that

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: Gus did more in the first half than he's normally done.

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: He did mix a little bit of coverage. We got

115
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: a little cover two in there, a little cover eight.

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: That's important to me because if you sit there in

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: single high all day, those corners are gonna wear out,

118
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 4: then they're gonna get them. And so I like that

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: sprinkling of two. There was a cover eight, which is

120
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: at least closing the week side. And then he just

121
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: brought the heat, and I wanted to see that heat.

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 4: And you know, right off the bat, he's bringing that heat,

123
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: and you know we get a you know, we get

124
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of sacks. He's blitzing six and playing zone

125
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: where the quarterback is confused. So again I thought that

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: was really really good. Yet the guy I want to

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: mention on defense, I think two guys. Obviously Stewart just

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: stuffed the running game. I just stuffed it, but two

129
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: guys up front that really are becoming impactive. One guy

130
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: who I didn't feel at all in preseason was Ebukhan.

131
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 4: I thought Ebukhan's first start, first legitimate sack off the edge,

132
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: and I mean it was him, and of course a

133
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 4: deo knocked it out. But the sacks started with Ebukhon

134
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 4: and he's he's showing me something off the edge, and

135
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: then I think Quitty, you know, he's had two sacks

136
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: now in two weeks. He's given us that power rusher

137
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: on the other side. So you know, I'm, you know,

138
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 4: really happy with that development because I always look at

139
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: when we get out of the game, what do we

140
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: make sure we have to correct so that it doesn't

141
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: come back and bite us, you know, And what is

142
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 4: starting to really look good? And obviously we'll get into

143
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: it because I think we really have to feature him

144
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: then on offense. You know, I think that the emergence

145
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: of Downs can be a huge, huge thing going forward.

146
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he is a master. You hear me say

147
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: it all the time. The swing down that three to

148
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: four to seven. They can't cover him. They just can't

149
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: cover him. And he's got to be even more of

150
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: a factor. But to me, Moss coming in and doing

151
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: what he was doing in Downs, coming in and doing

152
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: what he did, really I think to me gives us

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: a couple of weapons going forward.

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the end of the day, a really good

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: win for the Colts. They were well prepared, they were

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: well coached. They came out on fire, They had a

157
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 3: sense of urgency. The quarterbacks played really, really well. Speaking

158
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: of that, we'll find out more about Anthony Richardson later

159
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: today and later this week. We're taping this on Wednesday

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: morning for full disclosure. So inevitably there's going to be

161
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: some news that comes out on that quarterback front that

162
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: we just don't have right now. So if Richardson does

163
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: not pass through the concussion protocol in time for playing

164
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday, Rick or the Colts just deemed the fact

165
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have enough practice reps this week going

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: into the game, they certainly feel comfortable turning the offense

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: over to Gardner Minshew. He completed eighty three percent of

168
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: his passes last week. He started twenty four games in

169
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: his career. How different would the offense have to look

170
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: and adapt to Minshew on Sunday compared to what Colts

171
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: fans are used to seeing in the first two games

172
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: with Richardson getting the starts.

173
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think we've seen a lot of Gardner

174
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 4: in the preseason and now, so I think we do

175
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: know what to expect. I will say this though, we're

176
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 4: looking at a much different defensive unit. It's not necessarily

177
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: full of ambient players, but it's full of two tile

178
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: in all players, which we'll get into. And they really

179
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: do a great job and they give you a lot

180
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: of volume.

181
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: Lot.

182
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: Where Houston just sat in one front all day, this

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: will be They'll be coming from all over. They'll be

184
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: in all kinds of matchup covers. Just they have a

185
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: great third down blitz package where you know, they bring

186
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: they bring Queen and Rohan Smith up and tight and

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 4: then they they come or they bloods. I mean, it's

188
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: a very sophisticated game plan that will be difficult for

189
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: AR five because he hasn't seen that complexity yet. The

190
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 4: game plan definitely is very very different, you know, with

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 4: or without ar With with with Anthony, you're you're a

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: defensive You're you're nervous as hell. His legs are you know,

193
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: basically they're phenomenal. I don't think anybody runs with the

194
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: power and the pure speed he does to the outside.

195
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: And because of that, you're really really concerned. I mean

196
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: you almost have to play eight and a half in

197
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: between the numbers because you have to stop him, and

198
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: then he has an effect on the coverage Matt because

199
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: he's you don't want to play some sophisticated back to

200
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: the ball coverage just because if he takes off and runs.

201
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: You know, you saw what happened on the quarterback draw.

202
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: If we had them all spread out and boom, he

203
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: runs through there, and I mean it was he could

204
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: have run to Thibodeaux, Louisiana. To be honest with you,

205
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 4: it was just amazing. And so as a defensive coordinator,

206
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 4: he's limiting to you in a way because of his

207
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: superior athleticism and add libability and everybody knows he can

208
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: throw the ball deep. Now see when you get Gardner,

209
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: it's exactly the opposite. You're really not concerned. Even though

210
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: he's a decent athlete, you're not concerned about him ever

211
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: beating you. Particularly with the quarterback designers, which are so

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: big for us now, you know, and those type of things,

213
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: they're just not there. Gardner makes a living with, you know,

214
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: basically complimenting the running game with quick RPOs, run pass options,

215
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: quick not run run options like Anthony runs. RPOs to

216
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: me are run pass options and that's you know, that's

217
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: a run I did with a quick game, and he

218
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: was very effective. You know, Shane, you used a lot

219
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: of quick screens, which kind of gave us an outside

220
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: running game, you know, in those type of things. He

221
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 4: did zing a couple in there, but he's really a

222
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: rhythmic first second level thrower. Doesn't really throw the ball

223
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: deep really well. But he if you I call Gardner

224
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: and I don't, I'm just trying to define it. I

225
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: really like him, I always have. But he is a

226
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: what I call a context quarterback. So he may look

227
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: good one week, and if you play a certain kind

228
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 4: of defense, a lot of press, you know, a lot

229
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 4: of and you stop the running game and you force

230
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: him to make big throws downfield, you know that's going

231
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 4: to be a game he doesn't look as good, to

232
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: be honest with you, And so what I think is important,

233
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: and we're going to get a lot of bear front.

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: I mean, Houston, trust me, I'm just shocked. I mean,

235
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: it's like they haven't watched film for two years. They

236
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: never gotten bare until the last series of the game

237
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: when it was over. They stayed in that overall day.

238
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: And if team do that to us, we'll pound them

239
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: with our offensive line in that bubble, which we did.

240
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: But this team is going to be in bear. So

241
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: two things are going to be really really critical. Number one,

242
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: we have to run better schematically with the running game

243
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: versus Bear. And what I mean by that is we

244
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 4: can't make a living with zone runs like we did

245
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 4: last week. Last week we played it. You know, they

246
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: went over. We pounded the bubble right down to that

247
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: leven yard touchdown. We just pounded them. Our old line

248
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: just got afrohim. But when you get in Bear, it's

249
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 4: a whole different situation. They packed the inside, so they

250
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 4: forced you to run off tackle. But you can't run

251
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: off tackle without gap blocking. So we need to do

252
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: some gap blocking. We need to lose. We need to

253
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: use grantson inside the box, some to be like a

254
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: full back, some leads, some powers, and even some three

255
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: whams where you bring him in. Jack Doyle unfortunately is

256
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: not here, but he would be able to do that

257
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: stuff really really well. So I think what I'm trying

258
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 4: to say is that you have to keep the running

259
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 4: game alive without the threat of the outside. So that's

260
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: challenge number one, and then challenge number two. They know, minshew,

261
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna sit down on routes this week. They're not

262
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: gonna play soft and let you throw all that quick

263
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: screen and that quick stuff. So they're gonna be compressing

264
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 4: your pass offense. They're gonna be down and they're gonna

265
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 4: be all over you. And so to me, what's important

266
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: is the RPO game this week. We really need to

267
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: do it from bunches and outside stacks, and we want

268
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: to get downs in the position to get it. But

269
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: what we want to do is that takes that press

270
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: off of him, so the blockers then can get up

271
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: on them, and that gives him a little space to

272
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 4: catch the ball and move because otherwise, if you just

273
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: if we play stand still, I do believe that they'll

274
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 4: press us. And then the other thing that Gardner has

275
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 4: to do, and whether we like it or not, is

276
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a game. Is not like Houston.

277
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a game again where they're going

278
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: to try to force you to throw it outside and

279
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: if we're going to score points, we're gonna have to

280
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 4: take our shots. Now, remember a lot of times when

281
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: teams are pressing, the fade is thrown quickly. It's not

282
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: It isn't thrown like sixty yards downfield. What you want

283
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: to do is you want to throw that ball on

284
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: a line at about thirty five, which he can do,

285
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: and so you run a little play action and then boom,

286
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: get it out there quick. But we have to take

287
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: our shots, Matt, because this team, and particularly without without

288
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: ar if he isn't there to stretch their edges, this

289
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 4: team is going to pack us tight and maybe take

290
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: away the basic running game. So you know, that's how

291
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: I see it, and that's you know, I look at

292
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: it from the prison of a you know, of a

293
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator, no.

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: Doubt about it. All right, let's get ready for the

295
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. They're up next in Week three and they're

296
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: two and oh for the first time since twenty twenty,

297
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: looking for their first three and oh start since twenty sixteen.

298
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: And when you think of the Ravens as a franchise,

299
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: you think of physical fcality, you think of consistency. They

300
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: have the fourth most wins in the NFL since two

301
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: thousand and the fourth most winning seasons in that time

302
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: as well, and they're also one of five teams to

303
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: earn at least four playoff berths over the past five seasons,

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: along with Kansas City, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Seattle. And that

305
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: consistency well, primarily comes from their head coach John Harball

306
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: in its sixteenth year at the Helm. He is the

307
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: third longest tenured head coach in the NFL, behind only

308
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin. He's the club's all time

309
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: winning as coach, owns the sixth best winning percentage among

310
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: active NFL head coaches. Their offense is known for their

311
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: ability to run the football spearheaded by dual threat Lamar

312
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: Jackson who's turning into a great passer, as well the defense.

313
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: They don't give up points, they don't give up big plays,

314
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: they don't give up big games on the ground. And

315
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: you fully predict Rick as you said, they're gonna give

316
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: the Colt some of that look and the baar defense

317
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: that they struggled with against Jacksonville in Week number one.

318
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: So what else stands out to you about the raven

319
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: the two and oh Baltimore Ravens heading into the big picture?

320
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: No, well done, my friend, I mean, you know, I

321
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: you know, Da Costa has done a great job of

322
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: carrying on from the great Ozzie Newsom as GM. Ozzie

323
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: Newsom may be the best GM that's ever been in

324
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: this league. In a personal friend, but Da Costa has

325
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: done a good job. You know what always stands out

326
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: to me about Harbaugh's, as you said, the consistency. You know,

327
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: he's had ten playoff teams out of fifteen that he's

328
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: been there, he's won a World championship, and he's been

329
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: coach of the Year, So you know, that kind of

330
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: says it all. You're exactly right. I look at Baltimore

331
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: in the big picture as a very very good team

332
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 4: that's very very well coached. I don't look at necessarily

333
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: as a great team, which is, you know, to me,

334
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: our advantage. I mean, they have a couple of great elements,

335
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: but really their whole is greater than its part, which is,

336
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: you know, it's a tribute to them, but it also

337
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: makes them vulnerable. You're exactly right when you look at

338
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: the offense, you know, very much like John Harbaugh, you

339
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: have a former MVP of this league. You know, a

340
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: kid that's turned into a terrific passer. I think he's

341
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: at seventy four percent coming after two games. I mean,

342
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 4: and we saw that in game in that second half

343
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 4: when we played him a few years back, we had

344
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: him pretty bottled up and he ended up throwing the

345
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: ball out of the pocket much better. And not thought

346
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: he could. He is a tremendous player. You know, he's

347
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: a guy like we see these other guys like Jalen

348
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 4: and himself and you know ar to b and you know,

349
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: he is a guy that they run critical designers. But

350
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: when they run the designers where we have to be smart,

351
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: you know it's going to be in our red zone,

352
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 4: it's going to be in the fourth quarter, it's going

353
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: to be in a critical fourth and two. They don't

354
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 4: waste him on that stuff in non critical situations. But

355
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: he is great. I would add to that he is

356
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: the best playground quarterback in the league. And I mean

357
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: that nothing but a compliment because he's the guy that

358
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 4: when it comes to scrambling, it's like Mahomes will run

359
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: really to throw, He'll run if he has to. Anthony

360
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: right now is more of a power forward on the edge.

361
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: But what he does is he can't run, scramble and

362
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: run seventy yards. I mean, he is a guy that

363
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: when it comes to really running, pass, run and run.

364
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: He's got to be the premier playground player in the league.

365
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 4: I think when you look at him now, they do

366
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 4: and I'll get into this at the end, but they

367
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 4: they've got some key guys out. If Stanley, you know,

368
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: he didn't, he would ended up not playing last week

369
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: at left tackle, you know. And then their center he

370
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: didn't play, Linderbum didn't play, and that's two critical guys.

371
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 4: And then of course I don't think Beckham will play

372
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: the Dobbins's course out for the season, and then they're

373
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: only really good corner Humphreys out. So there's some real

374
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: vulnerabilities here if we have the ability to take care

375
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: of it. But offensively, along with Jackson, you know, they

376
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: have a solid running game. Now he's the center focus,

377
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: but they've always been you know, top five, three, one,

378
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 4: five whatever, and they got decent running game, you know,

379
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 4: with Edwards and with Hill and an offensive line that

380
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: blocks it well. They also give you a lot of looks.

381
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 4: They're not gonna just be in one dimension. There'll be

382
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: three wives, but the next thing, you know, they'll be

383
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: three tight ends. They give you both heavy and open.

384
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: I think where they've really helped themselves now, I think

385
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: we caught a break here is when they went out

386
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 4: and god Beckham and when they drafted Flowers, I think

387
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 4: they really improved their ability to strike quick and to

388
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: open the field. Now you know Beckham is a deep

389
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: feel we know what kind of catcher. He is. Fifty

390
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: to fifty guy. But without him, but the guy, and

391
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 4: they call him that. His own teams have nicknamed him that.

392
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 4: They call him the human joystick. Is Flowers number four,

393
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: the rookie. I mean, his kid is tremendous. Last week

394
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: they used him outside a little bit and he caught

395
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 4: a big post. But Matt where he is dangerous on

396
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: the catch and run place to me, to me, Downs

397
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: remembers it reminds me of him. He's he'll catch the draft.

398
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: I can run for it. I think he has something

399
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: like I want to say, seventy eight yards of yak

400
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 4: are ready, so tremendous with ball in hand, really good

401
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 4: on third and four to five. I mean he's really

402
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: now become the go to guy. And without Beckham he'll

403
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: be all over and then the key guy you got

404
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 4: to be alert for. And we know this. We learned

405
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: our lesson is Andrews is really a good player. He's

406
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 4: really to me in that top three guys tight ends

407
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 4: in the league. His numbers, his numbers, you know, prove it.

408
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: I think he has three hundred and forty one catches,

409
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: and I know he has thirty five touchdowns, and that

410
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 4: thirty five touchdowns is everything, and he's the security blanket

411
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: he you know, he's the guy that you know they

412
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: like to just throw over the middle on early downs.

413
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: We got to do a much better job of matching

414
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: those inside patterns, right. And then he's really good in

415
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: the red zone. So again the underneath coverage has to

416
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: match him on the field, and our safety has really

417
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 4: got to be alert for him in the red zone.

418
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 4: And then we have to have a play for Flowers,

419
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: no question about that. And then on defense, again, the

420
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: holes much greater than the parts, don't have the ambience,

421
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 4: but they play really well together. And I think Mike

422
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 4: McDonald does a great job on defense. He's a disciple

423
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: Matt of Wink Martindale. So when you think of that,

424
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: you think of volume and you think of pressure, and

425
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 4: I'm always kind of amazed that they're able to coach it.

426
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: It's one thing to have it in the playbook. It's

427
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: another thing to be able to use it. Although I

428
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: think they're a little bit Belichick like in that you

429
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: get the specific game plan, it's not necessarily the whole playbook.

430
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 4: You're going to get what they think stops you. You know,

431
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: it's kind of a combination of modern and combination of old.

432
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: But you know, they're really good. They're best players at

433
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: this point in time are the two linebackers Rowan Smith

434
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 4: and Queen. Those two guys are really good in the

435
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: stacks and they really affect you on the blitz game.

436
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: You know, I think they're front is good. I don't

437
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: think it's great. They got a bunch of interchangeable edge guys.

438
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 4: Clowney's there, you know, I think Clowney has about forty

439
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: four career sacks. There's nobody that really scares them. But

440
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: they can all run the edge, you know, their safeties.

441
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: I really like Hamilton, but I think they've put Washington.

442
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: They're starting Nickel on IR, so look for Hamilton. He

443
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 4: drops down and becomes the nickel. I think he will

444
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 4: become the nickel this week. Their biggest achilles heel again,

445
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: a lot of volume, a lot of different stuff. Is

446
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 4: they're really below average at corner when they lost Humphreys.

447
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: Humphreys is the top guy. He's premier guy. You know,

448
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: he's he's right up there with Latimore and some of

449
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 4: those guys. But he's out with a foot surgery. So

450
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: now you know, you go to Darby, you go to Stevens,

451
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 4: you go to you Sin and this is where they

452
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 4: have the biggest amount of trouble. And that's why now

453
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: they'll help them if you get pass first down. That's

454
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: why first down is so important, because they'll stop, they'll

455
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: try to stop the run, and they'll leave those guys

456
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 4: alone on first and you just you're gonna have to

457
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: beat them out there, really, because they'll strategically stop most

458
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 4: of the rest of it. And you're gonna have to

459
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 4: beat them out there because and that is their weakness,

460
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: that will be their achilles heel as the season goes on.

461
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: So you know, a couple good special teams. Guys Duvernet

462
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: has great speed, the kid from Texas and he can

463
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 4: return it. And you know Tucker is money. So you

464
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: know it's a very good team. It isn't a great

465
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: or unbeatable team, no doubt.

466
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's bust out the blueprints.

467
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: Let's start first with the Colts defense against Lamar Jackson

468
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: and that Ravens offense. And the Ravens so far they're

469
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: putting up twenty six points per game through a couple

470
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: of weeks, very balanced between the run and the past pass.

471
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: I should say they're also really good and situational football

472
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: so far number one and third down number four in

473
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: red zone offense. It all starts with dual threat quarterback

474
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, the twenty nineteen NFL MVP, turning into a

475
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 3: very accurate passer. In fact, through two games games he

476
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 3: ranked second in the NFL and completion percentage, behind only

477
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: Josh Allen at seventy four percent. And the last time

478
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: the Colts faced him twenty twenty one, it was a nightmare,

479
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: ended up setting a single game franchise record for passing

480
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: four hundred and forty two yards four touchdowns in the

481
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: second half in overtime of that game, and last week,

482
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: Jackson became just the fifth player in NFL history to

483
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 3: post at least one hundred passing touchdowns and twenty five

484
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns in the first six years of his NFL career.

485
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: He's got plenty of options and this is probably Rick

486
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 3: the deepest supporting cast that he's ever had, with Mark Andrews,

487
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: Zay Flowers, Nelson, Aguilar, Odell Beckham, who I think has

488
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: a chance to play this week. With that ankle Rashad

489
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: Bateman coming off of foot injury, but he's in that

490
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: lineup as well. So a really stiff test for the

491
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: Colts defense and their secondary rick. A Colts defense that's

492
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: giving up nearly seventy percent completion percentage and two and

493
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: eighty seven passing yards per game so far in the season.

494
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 3: All due respect to Houston, this is a much more

495
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: difficult challenge coming up this Sunday.

496
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 4: Well, like I told you as we were walking out

497
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: of the stadium and we're going from the shallow into

498
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 4: the deep end. There no doubt about that. And the

499
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 4: numbers that you posted, I'm really glad you did. I

500
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 4: didn't realize they were even that good, but I did

501
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 4: learn my lesson. I thought, if we kept, if we

502
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: cut off his legs, that in that last game that

503
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: we played, that if we cut off his legs, we

504
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: would beat him. And he proved to me that he

505
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 4: is really a top flight passer, tremendous accuracy, as you said,

506
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: two games, seventy four percent. So you know, and that's

507
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: again some good defenses. That's Cincinnati. That's pretty dog one

508
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: good right off the bat, and you know, in terms

509
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 4: of them, when you really talk about the blueprint and

510
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: what you have to do. Number one. I mean, and

511
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 4: you got to put this in red letters. I mean,

512
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 4: you gotta control Jackson. That doesn't mean you can stop

513
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: him cold, but you have to troll him and keep

514
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 4: him out of the big play situations. As I said earlier,

515
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: the best playground player in the league, and particularly when

516
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: you get in that orange which I call thirty in

517
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 4: to the red zone, which is twenty in. That's where

518
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 4: they're going to use them in the fourth quarter when

519
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: they need a play and it's on the line. You know,

520
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, critical third and fourth downs. I

521
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: think what's really important is you really have to be

522
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: disciplined on the edge. But with him, you can't void rustlings.

523
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 4: In other words, I don't want you to slow down

524
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: and not play, but I can't, for instance, have three

525
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: rushlers that end up to one side of the ball

526
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 4: and only won the other side, because he'll take that

527
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: and he'll turn that into a punt return. So discipline,

528
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: as well as ability up front, which I think we're getting,

529
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: is really really quick critical. I think we have to

530
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: be ready for designer runs and know when they're going

531
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: to come, and you really have to be ready for him.

532
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 4: Like I said, in that orange and red zone, you

533
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 4: got to play him first. In that situation, you just

534
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: have to play him first. And what you want to do,

535
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 4: I think with the passing game, even though he's good

536
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 4: back there, you want to compress the pocket. And you know,

537
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 4: particularly if Stanley isn't there and their center isn't there,

538
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 4: you know, I think you can do that. I think

539
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: you can compress him and really close it in on

540
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 4: and make him throw out of a well. And I

541
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: think that you mix everything. You mix four man rushes,

542
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 4: five man rushes where there's no levels. And then I

543
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: think if you play and we did it last week,

544
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: I like six man. I like six man blitz on

545
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 4: third down, but I like it with his zone, like

546
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 4: we play not man where if he breaks it, he's gone.

547
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: But if you play that little bit of zone and

548
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 4: we play like we rush six, we play two underneath

549
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: and three deep, and that doesn't seem sound on the blackboard,

550
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: but I think that would be effective. And then occasionally

551
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: you just give him a change up. You go with

552
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: four and then loose you use athletic linebacker. I don't

553
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 4: say it's a spy where you sit back. It's one

554
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: where you hug right in behind those rushers and if

555
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 4: he makes a move, you're ready to take him right there.

556
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 4: So you know, it really comes down number one, you

557
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: got to control Jackson. Number two, you can't go to

558
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: sleep on their basic running game because it's a little

559
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 4: bit better than you think, and you know they'll give you.

560
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: Like I said, the reason it's tough at times is

561
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: they'll be in three wives and the next time they'll

562
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: be in like twenty two personnel with two tight ends,

563
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 4: you know, a full back in there, and they'll run

564
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 4: all kinds of plays. I mean, they're not a zone

565
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: team only they all gap block you. They'll power. Ricard

566
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: is so valuable to them, their fullback. I mean, he's

567
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: the guy that actually was a defensive tackle in college.

568
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: But he is what I'd love to have him on

569
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: our team because what he gives you is versus the bear.

570
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 4: He gives you the lead blocker. He came in and

571
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: blocked on a three technique last week on a wham,

572
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 4: and I mean it was the biggest run of the game.

573
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: And he leads on the counters and he's gonna be

574
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: around the running game, that's for sure. So you know,

575
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: and we got to know their running backs. I think

576
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 4: it's important that you know him, not so much for

577
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 4: the calls, but for the players to be smart. Edwards

578
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: Gus Now with Dobbins out, Gus is a slasher, He's

579
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 4: the power banger inside. He's very similar to Moss. And

580
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 4: then when they put Justice Hill in there, he's the quicker.

581
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 4: He can get to the edge. He's a one cut

582
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: and burst guy. Know what they're gonna do. And then

583
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 4: number three, you gotta control their money receivers. Now, I

584
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: think even if Beckham plays, I don't think he'll be

585
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: full speed. I just don't. You know, if he does,

586
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: you know, you got to protect deep In on the

587
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty. But you got to have a plan

588
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 4: for Flowers now because he is gonna be with you know,

589
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: you know, with with Beckham, Nick Flowers is going to

590
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: be the primary guy. He already in two games has

591
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: thirteen for one and seventy eight yards of yak. I mean,

592
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: and they did you know, normally you think of him

593
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: as a slot, but last week when Beckham went out,

594
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: they put him out at X through a big post

595
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: that he went up and got it. So you know,

596
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: I think there isn't any question. I want to smother him.

597
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: Other words, he is a guy I want to press.

598
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: I want to be all over him. It's kind of

599
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: like I call him the Jordan rules. He's a guy

600
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: you want to prevent from getting the ball. You don't

601
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 4: want to let him get the ball and the play.

602
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 4: You want to defend him without the ball at all times.

603
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 4: That's the guy we got to have a plan for.

604
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: And then you got to control in a way. But

605
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: I don't think you have to double him, but you

606
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: have to control Andrews in two situations out on the field,

607
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: first down, second down, third down, whatever. He is a

608
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: good possession guy inside the numbers, and he does a

609
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 4: lot of hooking and over and our linebackers, who he

610
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: will be primarily the function of on the field, they

611
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: got to match his patterns. They just can't let him

612
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 4: find holes and pitch and cats like they do against

613
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: That's one of my criticisms is we've got to play

614
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: more match underneath and not let those pitch and cats

615
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: that that's seventy percent like you're talking about, that's just

616
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: too high. And then the second part, and this is

617
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: where our safeties I think come into it. When they

618
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: get into red zone. Okay, again, that's where Andrews shines.

619
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: That's the thirty five touchdowns. Most of them are red

620
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: zone touchdowns. And what our safeties have to have to

621
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: do is never go to sleep because they'll run like

622
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: a little snag pattern underneath and all of a sudden

623
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 4: Andrews will just sneak to the corner. So again, linebackers

624
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: underneath early and then back in the back end on

625
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 4: red zone alert for those corner routes and those seam routes. Okay,

626
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: and again I think the biggest thing too at the

627
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: end here number five is create turnovers. They've never been

628
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 4: a big turnover ratio victor. They've always been about the

629
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: middle of the pack. You know, Lamar's had two fumbles

630
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: in two weeks, and you know that comes a lot

631
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: of times on the scrambles. He does carry it like

632
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: a loaf of bread. I mean he really does. And

633
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: he's had a couple knocked outs. So I think, really,

634
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: if I think the two things, the two issues that

635
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: I would say are going to be most important in

636
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 4: this game is creating turnovers and winning the fourth quarter. Yeah,

637
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: you know last week there was concession yardage, but we

638
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: still you know, we went from a three possession game

639
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 4: if you know, if they make the field goal, if

640
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 4: we don't block it or push it back and they

641
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: miss it. I mean, we go from a three possession

642
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: game to one possession game simply in the fourth quarter.

643
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 4: And I don't want to overdo it, but I'm going

644
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: to overdo it. We've been outscored twenty four to zero

645
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. Now, you know, in a game

646
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: like this one, it'll be everything.

647
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that.

648
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: That's one of those things where you ask yourself, you know,

649
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: that's in that bucket of you know things. Can the

650
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: cults afford to keep doing certain things in the fourth quarter? Yeah, definitely.

651
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: You know, outscore twenty four to zero. Like you said,

652
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: it was ten to nothing in the fourth quarter the

653
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: other day in Houston. All right, let's switch over to

654
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: the Colts offense against the Ravens defense. Let's talk about

655
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: the blueprint there by the way, This is Inside Football

656
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: with Rick finn Turrey, I'm Matt Taylor, and the Ravens.

657
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 3: So far in the season, Rick, they are top ten

658
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: in points allowed at sixteen point five, rushing yards allowed

659
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: and also yards given up at two seventy five. A game,

660
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: and neither the Texans nor the Bengals their first two opponents.

661
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: They've been able to muster seventy five rushing yards against

662
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: this Baltimore front. They've got a very good pass rush.

663
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: In fact, they've racked up at least two sacks and

664
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: fourteen straight games dating back to last season, which is

665
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: the longest streak in the NFL. And their front seven

666
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: is now spearheaded by the linebackers Rokwan Smith and Patrick

667
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: Queen Smith, the former Bear, he's got the second most

668
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: tackles in the NFL among linebackers dating back to twenty eighteen,

669
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: and then Queen. Last year, he joined Ray Lewis and CJ.

670
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: Moseley as the only Ravens ever to record multiple seasons

671
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: with at least one hundred tackles, one force fumble in

672
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: a fumble recovery, So a very impactful player there. And

673
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: their secondary features Marcus Williams at safety, who has the

674
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 3: seventh most interceptions in the NFL among active safeties since

675
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen with nineteen of them, and then at cornerback

676
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: if he's healthy, Marlin Humphrey can be a playmaker. He's

677
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: a takeaway artist. He has double digit interceptions and force

678
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 3: fumbles in his career. But we'll be watching him on

679
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: the injury report this week. So how much better of

680
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 3: a challenge will this be for the Colts on Sunday

681
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 3: compared to last week in Houston.

682
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: Well, it'll be a huge challenge. I think it starts

683
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: really and they've got, like I said, they don't have

684
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: necessarily that ambient guy, although I think I think Queen

685
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 4: and Smith are close. It's just hard stack linebackers don't

686
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: have the impact on a game that rushers or corners.

687
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 4: That's where you want your ambient guys is on the

688
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: edge or at corner, and I don't see that. But

689
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 4: what I see is not a lot of ambience. But

690
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: I see a ton of two tile in all guys.

691
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean they don't. They also don't have a bunch

692
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: of liabilities. They only have a couple, and uh, you know,

693
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: I see it that way. But I think when you

694
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 4: combined a bunch of good players with the scheme you know,

695
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 4: which is both complex and it has pressure and it

696
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 4: has the illusion of pressure, I think they get a

697
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 4: lot of mileage. And they've got it over the years

698
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: they've actually played. You know, this type of game all

699
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 4: the way back to Rex Ryan, way back with the

700
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 4: World Championship. So this is how they play. You're gonna

701
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 4: see more volume in this game, although it will be

702
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 4: game specific. I think this is one of those games

703
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: that and I always whenever we played against Belichick, I

704
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: always told our guys, you're gonna find out exactly if

705
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 4: you have any weaknesses. You're gonna find out in the

706
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 4: first quarter where they are. But also you make quick decisions,

707
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 4: and I think Shane is good at this is you

708
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 4: figure out exactly how they're gonna play us early and

709
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 4: then you get ready to counter in that regard. But

710
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: you're gonna get they try to on first down. I'll

711
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 4: just give you some general things and then get into

712
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: the get into the musk. They what they really want

713
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 4: to do on first down is totally shut you down.

714
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 4: And they're gonna get in like the barefront with press.

715
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna bring single what I call cats and dogs.

716
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 4: They're gonna bring single cat and single dog. A cat

717
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 4: is bringing somebody off the edge. It could be an

718
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: outside backer, could be a nickel, could be a safety. Uh.

719
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 4: And what they're trying to do is dis erupt you

720
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: on first down. You don't get after your run, get

721
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: after your play action. Uh, they'll bring one of those

722
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 4: backers all of a sudden, just the fifth guy, all

723
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 4: of a sudden, he'll just calm, he'll be rushing. And

724
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 4: then when they get in the second down, they give

725
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 4: you a lot of that Cover four family this, you know,

726
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 4: quarter quarter, quarter quarter half. You know, a lot of

727
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 4: tight matchup underneath their old school that way kind of

728
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: my school really, And they do a really good job.

729
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 4: Now what they did last week, and I think you'd

730
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 4: see more of this with Gardner than than you would

731
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: with Anthony is they played a lot of Cover two

732
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: against Burrow, and they played a lot of sophisticated too.

733
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 4: They didn't just play one way. They played a regular two.

734
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 4: They played like a two slice where they give you

735
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: a three deep look and then they run out of

736
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: there and then nickel goes to the half. Now, they

737
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 4: may be limited on that because I think Hamilton is

738
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 4: going to come in at the nickel, and once he

739
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 4: goes to the nickel, it's a little bit different. I

740
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 4: really like Hamilton, but Hamilton's the guy they use sometimes

741
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 4: in the like a like a middle linebacker and the

742
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 4: runner or sometimes he'll slice to the flat and he

743
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 4: gives them a lot of variety. They may not have

744
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 4: all that, but I do see more two against a

745
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 4: guy like Minshew who's really not a runner and not

746
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 4: and doesn't like to really push it downfield and cover

747
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: two chokes off her underneath stuff. And then on third

748
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 4: down you'll get all those coverages. But what you get

749
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: on third down is the volume becomes the blitzer bluff package.

750
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 4: And that by that I mean they'll walk up those guys.

751
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 4: They'll walk up Queen, you know, and they'll walk up Smith.

752
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes they do it from over and it's a single

753
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: I call that mug when you mug up front, and

754
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 4: then sometimes it's a double mug where both of those

755
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 4: guys are inside there. Now sometimes they'll bring them. Sometimes

756
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: it'll be one. Sometimes they'll get up and they'll they'll

757
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: bail out, and then they'll bring edge pressure. So you

758
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 4: really have to know what you're doing on protection. You

759
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 4: can't you can't ever have a mistake. And my suggestion

760
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 4: is make sure that you protect from inside out, that

761
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 4: you never let a straight line blitzer inside if they're

762
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 4: going to come. If you've got to let a guy open,

763
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: he's got to come from the outside, which gives your

764
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: quarterback time to at least release it. You know, the

765
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 4: Colts were masters of that with Howard Mudd and with

766
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning back there, and I think that's really key again,

767
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: particularly when you're playing with a young quarterback. The problem

768
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 4: for Richardson won't be talent, it'll be reading the volume.

769
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 4: He's never seen this. And then the problem for Minshew

770
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 4: is they're gonna They're gonna play a lot of cover too,

771
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna press and they're gonna get after them. So

772
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, there's issues, but we can we can overcome them,

773
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 4: I think from a must standpoint. I think, first of

774
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 4: all our offense, and I said this before when you

775
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: brought up the question of Minshew versus ar in this game,

776
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: is we have to have a good legitimate run plan

777
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 4: against Bears. We we have not had that, and we

778
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: really have to have it, particularly if Minshew ends up,

779
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: you know, getting the control. You know, and again I've

780
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 4: gone through it many times. I know with the solution

781
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 4: because I remember when Bear was popular and what drove

782
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 4: it out, and it's gap blocking, it's off tackle stuff,

783
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: it's wham stuff. It's it's leads and powers and if

784
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 4: you don't. If we're just limited to zone with no

785
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: quarterback to the outside, I guarantee it'll look like it

786
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: did last year. Uh. If they give us a bubble,

787
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: obviously we wanna we want to pound that bubble. But uh,

788
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 4: you know again, all those things, powers, whams, all those

789
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 4: things have to be in there. And just the point

790
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm making is with Gardner in there, you don't have

791
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: If if a R's in there, you can run the

792
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: edge and stretch it. You know his They're gonna be nervous,

793
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: they're gonna be playing very very controlled on the edge,

794
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 4: but they ain't gonna worry about it with Gardner. So

795
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: that's that's that running game, a legit running game, not

796
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 4: just a quarterback running game is critical Number two. I

797
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 4: think this is critical. Whoever the quarterback is. We gotta

798
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 4: get after their corners on first down, push it deepen

799
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 4: outside the numbers. Now I sound like a broken record,

800
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 4: and it didn't matter against Houston, but it will matter

801
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 4: against teams like this because they're gonna play as smart.

802
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 4: They're gonna they're gonna basically compress or inside and set

803
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 4: the edge. And what's what you're gonna have to do

804
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: And The way they do that though, is on first down,

805
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 4: they do play single high, they do play man to

806
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 4: man cover. They don't play a ton of two or

807
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: four on first down, And so that gives Pierce and

808
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 4: Pittman the one on one that you need, and you

809
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: just got to air it out. You got to air

810
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 4: it out early. And if you can get a play,

811
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 4: get a pi and even if you're incomplete early, you're

812
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 4: gonna widen the defense and get them out of that

813
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 4: eight and a half in the middle, and it's gonna

814
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: help you. So I think critically, you have to get

815
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 4: after Darby, you have to get after Stevens, and you

816
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 4: have to get after y'all sin. Those three guys are

817
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 4: subpar players on the outside, and so you have to

818
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: come out of there. We have to win there. Number three,

819
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 4: I think we have to handle their edge rushers. I

820
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 4: don't think there's a great one there. You know, Clowny's

821
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 4: a little bit up in the you know, he still

822
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 4: has it. Ojabo, Robinson, oh Way, Harrison, Clowney. There's like

823
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 4: five guys that are interchangeable, and they use a ton

824
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 4: of guys they always have. If you try to just

825
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 4: study their personnel, just no numbers because they're gonna all

826
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 4: over and all those guys can really run the edge.

827
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 4: They're all athletic. None of them, you know, none of

828
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 4: them are real established rushers, with the exception of Clowney.

829
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 4: He's the one that has forty four sacks, and he

830
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 4: had one last week. But last week it was an

831
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 4: effort sack, second effort. But and our tackles did a

832
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: great job. I mean, Will Anderson, I don't even know

833
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 4: if he was in the game last week. I mean

834
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 4: we stuffed those two edge guys and that was their strength.

835
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 4: And give our offensive tackles a lot of credit on that.

836
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 4: I think number four. Third down is going to be

837
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: critical how you handle it, and of course the best

838
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 4: way to handle it is stay out of third and

839
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: long if we can, you know, if we don't make

840
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 4: it on first down, let's have a real positive play

841
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: a get that play on second down where we get

842
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 4: ourselves in a third and three. All that exotic stuff,

843
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 4: all that blitz are bluff. All the stuff that they do,

844
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 4: the blitz or illusion of blitzes really happens on third

845
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: and long. And again, this is where they're two top players.

846
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 4: Smith and Queen are really involved in the blitz and

847
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 4: bail package. So I would say this, make sure, as

848
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 4: I said earlier, make sure a we can protect it inside,

849
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 4: you know, no direct hits, no direct hits inside, you know,

850
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 4: scan to the outside, bluff radar and blitz package. And

851
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 4: I think we have to do a great effort both

852
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 4: on the RPO game and on the third down. We

853
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: have to get downs the ball downs and Richardson are

854
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 4: the two best playmakers. They're on another level. And if

855
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 4: you kind of look at at downs, if I were

856
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 4: the Colts, I'd take a look at how Baltimore is

857
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 4: using Flowers because they're very similar, and he is. He's

858
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 4: under used at this point. I understand because he's a rookie,

859
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 4: ye and they didn't know but after last week, and

860
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 4: I've said it all along that he was going to

861
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 4: be a master a third down. But he has got

862
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: to have ball in hand, you know, And if Richardson

863
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 4: isn't there, then he definitely has to have ball in

864
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 4: hand because he's the only playmate or that you really

865
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 4: have creator I won't say playmaker, but creator, you know.

866
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 4: And then you always talk about this and the two

867
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: areas that they are just phenomenon. So it's going to

868
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 4: be a challenge. You know, you got to play great

869
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 4: in those specialized situations third down, you got to play

870
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: good with the ball in red zone, and they're you know, top,

871
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: they're elite, and you have to really make this happen.

872
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 4: And then at the end you have to win the

873
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 4: turnover battle.

874
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 3: All right, Rick Venturi right there inside Football the blueprints,

875
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: the skinny on how the Colts can top the Ravens

876
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 3: in week number three and to close out Rick, it

877
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 3: was funny after the after the game on Monday Monday night,

878
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: we talk with Shane Stikeen on Colts Round Table Live

879
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: and I asked him how long he allows himself to

880
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 3: enjoy a win. And you can appreciate this as a

881
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 3: former coach, he said about three hours. Three hours is

882
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 3: always he's given himself to enjoy a victory in the

883
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: National Football League. So I mean that's that's kind of

884
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 3: right on par with you. And that basically means by

885
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 3: the time the it's landed in Indianapolis, his mind was

886
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 3: on to Baltimore, which is just disgusting, but that's how

887
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: it goes. But the Ravens, as we've said that they

888
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 3: provide a tougher test for the Colts than the one

889
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 3: they saw last Sunday. How important will it be to

890
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 3: start fast send a message to the Ravens on the

891
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 3: road in that stadium that you're for real and you

892
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: can dominate in the trenches like you did in week two.

893
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it. I'm just gonna dovetail off

894
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 4: what you said and what Shane said. You know again,

895
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 4: always savor a win. They don't come easy.

896
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, but never.

897
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 4: I always put it this way, never take a deep breath.

898
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 4: And there's a tendency to do that because we have

899
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: so much scrutiny now in the NFL, it's twenty seven coverage.

900
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 4: You get over praised when you win, and you get

901
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 4: over destroyed when you lose. And it's human nature, you know.

902
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 4: If you haven't won a lot, and then all of

903
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 4: a sudden you win one, you take a deep breath

904
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 4: and say I'm okay. And you just can't do that again.

905
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 4: You said it, we're going from swimming or within the

906
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 4: shallow end. You know we're gonna have to swim in

907
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 4: the deep end, both tactically and physically. You know, the

908
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 4: good news for us though, to me, and I've said

909
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 4: this two or three times today, is the Baltimore hole

910
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 4: is greater than the parts, and they don't. You know,

911
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 4: you take Jackson, you know, and you take Flowers out

912
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: of there. You know, they don't have a bustload of

913
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: great players. So you know, show up fast like we

914
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 4: did against the Texans, and I agree with you. Send

915
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 4: the message to the Ravens that you're for real. And

916
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 4: also quiet down that houstile crowd now that Baltimore I

917
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 4: coach with the Baltimore Colts there, I've been back several times.

918
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 4: That can be a very hostile and mean crowd. To

919
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 4: tell you the truth, Limit Jackson, Limit Jackson and compress

920
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 4: and force him into mistakes and turnovers. Got to take

921
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 4: care of Flowers and Andrews. We got to run the ball.

922
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 4: Two things we got to do on offense, and that's

923
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 4: why scheme matters. We have to run the football and

924
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: we have to create big plays on the corner. I

925
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 4: think this though, here's where I think we're better than

926
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 4: they are as a team. I think what's number one

927
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 4: is we need to dominate both fronts on both sides

928
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 4: of the ball, the hell with volume. I think we're

929
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 4: better both in our defensive line, in our offensive line,

930
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 4: and I think dominating the fronts is critical, and particularly

931
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 4: on first down. If we can stay out a disadvantage,

932
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: we'll play all day. And then somehow you got to

933
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 4: be the best red zone team out there and win

934
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 4: the turnover battles. Again, they are a good team, I

935
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 4: don't really think they're a great team. And then what

936
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 4: you have to do is the hell with the you know,

937
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 4: the hell. I've talked a lot about design, but make

938
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 4: this a street fight, not a chess match. That's and

939
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: that's what I'm talking about. The front I don't believe

940
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 4: these are your father's Ravens. I don't think you know

941
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 4: this is Ray Lewis and them go into me with

942
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 4: the belief that you can do it and make it

943
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 4: a reality.

944
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 3: Good home field advantage, like you said under John Harball,

945
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 3: which you have to go back two thousand and eight,

946
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: the Ravens own the NFL's third best home winning percentage.

947
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: In that time, they are eighty eight and thirty four

948
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 3: at M and T Bank Stadium, and in fact, in

949
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 3: their eighty eight wins in that span, their margin of

950
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 3: victory has been thirteen point eight points per game, so

951
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 3: they're winning by almost two touchdowns and the Colts have

952
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 3: lost three in a row to the Ravens in Baltimore,

953
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 3: looking for their first road win against the Ravens since

954
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: two thousand and nine. Let's get it done on Sunday.

955
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: That's Rick Ventury with the blueprints on how.

956
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 2: To do it. RV.

00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: get a win on Sunday.

962
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: My man in the charm City.

963
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's a hostile place. I've lived there at the

964
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 4: blue collar tough with ball Town. And my biggest challenge

965
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 4: won't be the game. It's just those steps on the

966
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 4: both ways. They'll get it will be are you help

967
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 4: me up the steps? We'll be fine.

968

Speaker 2: We'll get at.

969
