1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update, a look at the 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: latest with the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's the voice of 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, welcome into the Colts Daily Update. 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: On a Tuesday. I'm Matt Taylor. First day of November. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: The Colts had the day off today Tuesdays they're built 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: in off day during the week according to NFL rule. 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: The team is back to work tomorrow, getting ready for 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Week nine of the NFL season. Up next the New 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: England Patriots in Foxborough, as the Colts make their first 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: trek up to New England since twenty eighteen and looking 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: for their first win on the road against the Patriots 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: since two thousand and six. The Colts have lost four 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: in a row at Gillette Stadium against the Pats. A 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: lot of news today for the Colts. Big news, in fact, 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: they announced today that they have relieved Marcus Brady of 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: his duties as offensive coordinator. Brady was in his second 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: year as OC with the Colts. He took over for 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, who left to become as the Eagles head 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: coach starting in the two twenty one season. Before that, 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: he was the team's quarterbacks coach in twenty nineteen and twenty. 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, he acted as the team's assistant quarterbacks coach, 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: So this is just the latest change on offense for 23 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: the Colts. Last week, of course, they benched Matt Ryan 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: and started second year quarterback Sam Ellinger, who made his 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: first career starting last Sunday against the Washington Commanders. The 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Colts offense this season's been sluggish. They produced seventeen or 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: fewer points in five of eight games. Turnovers have hurt 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: the team all season long. They've got a negative turnover 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: margin in five of eight games this season. They are 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: O four and one in those games, and they're last 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL on total giveaways and points allowed off turnovers. 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: They've scored one or fewer touchdowns and four games on 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: the season. They were shut out by the Jaguars back 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: in Week number two, and the running game has struggled 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: this season, ranking twenty ninth and yards per game and 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: yards per attempt on the season. And the Colts have 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: failed to score on their opening drive in ten consecutive 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: games dating back to last season, just partly led to 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: them trailing at halftime in every game this season. Zac Keefer, 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: who covers the Colts. From the Athletic Today reported that 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Frank Reich will take over offensive coordinator duties for the 42 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: rest of the season. Of course, he's the head coach 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: and the play caller on offense. Nothing official on that 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: front has come from the team, come from the Colts themselves. 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: Other coaches on the staff on the offensive side of 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: the ball include Parks Frazier, who's the passing game specialist 47 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: and assistant quarterbacks coach. You've got Scott Milanovitch, who's the 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. Scottie Montgomery oversees the running backs. Chris Strausser 49 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: is the offensive line coach, and Reggie Wayne is the 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: first year wide receivers coach. And I'm sure it's all 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: hands on deck with all of those coaches having to 52 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: take on more of responsibility for the time being. And 53 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: Frank Reich is scheduled to meet with reporters tomorrow and 54 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: will undoubtedly have more on this story. Then. Today was 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the trade deadline in the NFL, and the Colts were 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: active this afternoon. Right before the deadline, at four o'clock today, 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: they traded running back Ninem Hinds to the Bufalo Bills 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: for a conditional sixth round pick in next April's draft. 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Also in return, the Colts received running back Zack Moss, 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: who's in his third season out of Utah. Moss was 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: drafting the third round by the Bills in two twenty, 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: but Hines no longer on the Colts. He was still 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: in the first year of a three year contract extension 64 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: that he's signed right before last season. The regular season, 65 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: I should say this year, he's got twenty five catches 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighty eight yards, eighteen carries on 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: the ground for thirty six averaging just over ten yards 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 1: per punt return this season as well, he was only 69 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: averaging just over six touches per game this season, but 70 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: he was a due all player for the Colts who 71 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: was used as their rotational back. Caught passes in the 72 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: slot as well, and he had that twenty two yard 73 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: catch against the Commanders last Sunday. Notched his first rushing 74 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: touchdown of the season in that game just a few 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: days ago. But he went over fifty scrimmage yards just 76 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: six times in a game since the start of the 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: two twenty one season. He reached that number only twenty 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: four times in his career with the Colts. Now that's 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: not an indictment on him. Obviously, there's a lot of 80 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,279 Speaker 1: factors that go into how he's used, like the Colts 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: rotating carouself quarterbacks. That's definitely been a factor. Jonathan Taylor's emergence, 82 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: the Colts running game last season, how it dominated down 83 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: the stretch. So some of Naim Hines's best moments in 84 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: a Colts uniform they came in twenty twenty. He had 85 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: a one hundred and fifteen yards from scrimmage against the 86 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Titans on the road on a Thursday night. Coincidentally enough, 87 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night against the Jets, he had a 88 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: big game over one hundred yards from scrimmage and a 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: thirty four yard touchdown. And then, of course on special teams. 90 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, you can't forget that two punt return 91 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: touchdown game against the Panther, setting a franchise record with 92 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety five yards on punt returns, including 93 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: an eighty four in a seventy one yard score, becoming 94 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: just the fifth player in NFL history with a pair 95 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: of seventy plus punt return touchdowns in the same game. So, 96 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: with Hines gone, the Colts have Jonathan Taylor, Dion Jackson, 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: Zack Moss, and DeVante Price and Philip Lindsay on the 98 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: practice squad as well at the running back position. So 99 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: best of luck to nine Hines in Buffalo. A class act, 100 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: great guy inside the Colts locker rooms, stand up representative 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: of the Colts organization, and a great player who can 102 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: impact the game in a lot of different ways. As 103 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: for where the Colts are at right now, they sit 104 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: at three four and one on the season. They've lost 105 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: back to back games. They're two games and a tiebreaker 106 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: back of the Titans for the top spot in the 107 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: AFC South, and this week will continue to be about 108 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: fine tuning the offense around quarterback Sam Ellinger, who made 109 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: his first career start on Sunday in that loss to 110 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: the Commanders, and again the Colts will have to delegate 111 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: responsibilities around the offensive coaching staff now that Marcus Brady's 112 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: no longer with a team as offensive coordinator. On Sunday, 113 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: Sam through for two hundred and one yards, completed seventy 114 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: three percent of his passes, didn't throw a pick, and 115 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: last night on Colts Roundtable Live, Frank Reich talked about 116 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: Sam's fur start and what he took from it. I 117 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: thought he played well. Just as importantly, I thought he 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: looked poised in the pocket and he never felt like 119 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: he was rattled. I thought he saw the field very well. 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: You know, made all kinds of throw and made the 121 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: deep throws, made the short throws. He scrambled at the 122 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: right times. I thought, I thought he did well. How 123 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: did you see him grow even during the game as 124 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: he kind of settled in and got more comfortable. Yeah, 125 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: just you know, made a couple of plays out of 126 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: the pocket, and you know, it was and obviously the 127 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: deep ball you know, to Alec was was really nice 128 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: and you could just feel like he was in command 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: as the game went on. That's Frank Reich on Sam 130 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Ellinger and the Colts will try to capitalize more than 131 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: they did against the Commanders. On offense, they were able 132 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: to move the ball between the twenties, but Colts had 133 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: a difficult time navigating in and around the red zone. 134 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: The Colts had six drives reach at least the Washington 135 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: twenty eight yard line. They settled for three field goals, 136 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: turn it over twice on fumbles, and only scored one touchdown. 137 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: Another Colts news news that came out on Monday, terrible 138 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: news for defensive lineman Tykwon Lewis. His season is over 139 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and it comes nearly one year to the day after 140 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: his two twenty one season, and it's the same injury. 141 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: He ruptured his left poteller tendon in the fourth quarter 142 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: on Sunday. He's going to have to have surgery on that. 143 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: And it was October thirty first last year, Halloween two 144 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: twenty one when he ruptured his right pateler tendon against 145 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, and you just feel for him again. 146 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: He's another great guy inside this Colts locker room, filled 147 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: with character, a lot of personality. He was injured on 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: the first downplay during the Commander's game winning drive late 149 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: in the game, and just really bad timing for Tykwon Lewis. 150 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: He signed a one year contract in the off season 151 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: and we'll be a free agent in the spring. Along 152 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: with placing Lewis on IR, the Colts also activated safety 153 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: Trevor Denbo from IR and release punter Nolan Cooney from 154 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: the practice squad. Lewis has lost another blow to the 155 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: defensive line that had been playing well the last three 156 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: weeks without Quitty pay And we'll see if Quitty pay 157 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: can get back on the practice field this week. He's 158 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: been on the sidelines, if you will, the last couple 159 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: of weeks, dealing with an ankle injury. As we sat 160 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: up next the Patriots, they've won three of their last four. 161 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: There are four and four on the season. They're currently 162 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: in last place and a very competitive AFC East Division. 163 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: They beat the Jets last week twenty two to seventeen, 164 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: and last night on Colt's Roundtable Live, Rick Venturrey gave 165 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: his quick scouting report on the Patriots through eight games. 166 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: This is not your father's Patriot team. This is a 167 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: mediocre four and four team that is one in three 168 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 1: in Foxborough. Now, what you gotta know is that Belichick 169 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: now has obviously become the second second leading, second winning 170 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: ast coach in NFL history. So he's gonna have his 171 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: team ready. And the most important thing that you got 172 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: to do here early in the week is figure out 173 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: ex exactly what your deficiencies are, because if you don't 174 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: know what your deficiencies are, you'll know by the end 175 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: of the first quarter. Net weeks, he's got a scratch 176 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: word itches. I mean, he's gonna be specifically game plan 177 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: for you so you it's very important that you anticipate 178 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: exactly what he's gonna do, and it's going to be 179 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: based on your assets and liabilities, and be ready for 180 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: him and going there and play. That's Rick Venturry and 181 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: that was last night from Colts Roundtable Live and what 182 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: he was referring to there earlier as Bill Belichick notching 183 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: his three hundred and twenty fifth career win as a 184 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: head coach, which moves him into sole possession of second 185 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: place all time, surpassing George Hallis. Belichick also in second 186 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: place for the most regular season wins by a head 187 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: coach with only one team. Belichick now has two hundred 188 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: and fifty eight regular season wins with the Patriots, one 189 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: better than Don Shula's total with the Miami Dolphins. Hallis 190 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: holds that record with three hundred and eighteen win ends 191 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: with the Bears. Obviously, a very busy day with the Colts. 192 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: A lot of news and a lot to digest. Again, 193 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Marcus Brady no longer the offensive coordinator for the Colts. 194 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: We'll have more on that all week long as we 195 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: progress and get closer to Week nine against the Patriots. 196 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: The Official Colts podcasts from earlier Today.
