1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Colts camp is back. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: Welcome to another daily update here at Graham Park in Westfield. 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 2: It's brought to you by course En Firron Security JJ Stangowitz. 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: Along as always, I'm Matt Taylor recapping the day. The 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 2: Colts practice earlier this morning from about ten to eleven fifteen, 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: and today was the first day in pad. So a 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: very physical practice today for the Colts, says you can 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: assume joining us on today's update. In just a moment, 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: linebacker Shaquiel Leonard he was back to practice again today. 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Everything continues to point in the right direction for him. JJ, 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: my friend, Like we said, the pads were on today 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: where we were overall takeaways from a very spirited day 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: of practice here. 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 3: Today, Yeah, it was physical out there. You could tell 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: guys are excited to get the pads. On second play 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: of practice in eleven on eleven, Sire Franklin just lit. 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: Up Zach Moss. 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, on a quick little checkdown and that was sort 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 3: of that was sort of the tone setter for the day. 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,639 Speaker 3: I thought, you know, EJ Speed got physical in there 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: on a couple plays. 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: He did. 23 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, good day for both the offense 24 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: and defense. I thought you saw some things we should 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: probably lead off to with the news on Anthony Richardson. 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: He did not participate in practice today. Uh, he had 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 3: a procedure done on his nose. Shane Stiken said that 28 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: was done to just help him breathe better. He's expected 29 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: back on Tuesday. If he is not back on Tuesday, 30 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: he will be back on Thursday. So not a big deal, 31 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: you know, misses a day of practice hopefully nothing more. 32 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but something. 33 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: You know, when the Colts got him in there, they 34 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: decided we should probably go correct this. They did it 35 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: on Sunday is when he had the procedure, and again 36 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: he should be back Tuesday, and if not Tuesday, he'll 37 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: be back Thursday. 38 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: And that meant Gardner Minshew took all the first team 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: reps today and seven on seven and eleven on eleven work. 40 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: There were three periods a day of eleven on eleven 41 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: offense versus defense. Anything looked different or some subtle changes 42 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: within the offense with Minshew and full pads. 43 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Not a ton. 44 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: I think just the physicality of some of the run 45 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: plays you could start to notice, you know, I honestly, 46 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: I usually don't even take notes on run plays when 47 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: they're no pads because it's hard for me to tell 48 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: from the sideline was this a good player or not. 49 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: You know, we saw, you know, a couple of runs. 50 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: I think Evan hallowed a pretty solid day out there. 51 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: You know, Zach Moss had a couple of plays. He 52 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: wound up leaving practice. Shane Stecken said he had an 53 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 3: arm injuried into the full details on that, but he 54 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: did wind up leaving practice early. 55 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: Good day. 56 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 3: I thought for Darryl Baker Junior, the second year cornerback, 57 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: he had a couple PBUs. 58 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, he continues to trend to be very much in 59 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: the conversation to start at corner. 60 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: Real physical PBUs too, Like he took advantage of the 61 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 3: pads being on. I thought, yeah, and got in there 62 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 3: in some seven on seven work. You know, still know Juju, Brent, 63 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: still know Darius Rush. They are still both out. Brents 64 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: as a hamstring. Rush has a shoulder, so Baker, you know, 65 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: whether that's because he's out there, because those two guys 66 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 3: are out, doesn't matter, doesn't or not, It doesn't matter. 67 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: He's been making a pretty solid impression so far throughout camp. 68 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter how you get there, Just get 69 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: there and taking you full advantage of those reps and 70 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: that opportunit unity and a chance to play and to shine. 71 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: Will Mallory, Colt's fifth round pick out of Miami, had 72 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: tight end. He came off of pup today. That was 73 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: another newsworthy note going into practice today. He missed most 74 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: of the offseason workout program, the OTAs in the mini 75 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: camp with that foot injury. How is he moving around today? 76 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: I saw him catch a pass from Sam Ellen. 77 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: Look pretty good. Yeah, I was early on. 78 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 3: I think that was one of his first plays in 79 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: eleven on eleven They got the ball to him. You know, 80 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: you can see the speed that he has for a 81 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: guy of his size. That's why the Colts drafted him. 82 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: You know. Good to see him out there still showing that, 83 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: even coming off the foot injury he had during rookie 84 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: minute camp. 85 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Shack Leonard's coming up in just a second. 86 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: You don't want to miss that conversation. 87 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: Man. 88 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: He was really really insightful, pretty honest, and again just 89 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: shedding a lot of light on all that he's been 90 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: through the last couple of years with the surgeries and 91 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: you know what it's meant to him to get back 92 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: on the field, but defensively, JJ, in what areas are 93 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: you noticing the defense maybe being ahead of the curve 94 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: a little bit schematically and comfort wise this year with 95 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: the core of that defense coming back for you number 96 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: two under Gus Bradley. 97 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, it starts to me with 98 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: Kenny Moore the second that he looks like a completely 99 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: different player in there. You know, he's making plays on 100 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: the ball consistently, has been shining throughout practice of these 101 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: first four practices. 102 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: Start to them. 103 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: But I think the defensive line I noticed him a 104 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: lot more today. You know, it's sort of throughout camp 105 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: you've started to notice the pass rush just being a 106 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: collective effort. I think that's been really encouraging that it 107 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: hasn't been you know, one guy's been winning a bunch, 108 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: it's been you know, here's a play where you know 109 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: Quity pay wins or his player with Dio Dangbo DeForest Buckner. 110 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: You know some of the guys going further down the 111 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 3: depth chart, like out of Tommy why at a bare 112 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: Jennard Avery, some of these guys who are you know, 113 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: fighting for roster spots or roles on this team. I 114 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: think the collective pass rush, and again it's it's sometimes 115 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 3: hard to identify that right because no one you can't 116 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: hit the quarterback, and sometimes you get these plays where, 117 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: you know, I think today Sam Ellinger had won where 118 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: he you know, he he kind of rolled out and 119 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: contact and it's sort of like he probably would have 120 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: been sacked play, but you play on and he had 121 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: a big completion and it's sort of like, yeah, it's 122 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: good for Sam, like, you know, getting that work, good 123 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: for the receiver, but in game action, like he's probably 124 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: on the ground. Yeah, because the pass rush is pretty good. 125 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: So I think you're starting to see that develop. You know, again, 126 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: the Colts want to develop those eight guys an eight 127 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: man rotation with their pass rush, and I'm seeing some 128 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 3: decent signs of that so far, even with Samson Ebicom 129 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: still being out with hamstringing. 130 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 131 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: Somebody that's incredibly excited to be back on the field 132 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: in this defense year number two under Gus Bradley. That 133 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: is Shaquille Leonard, the Colts All Pro linebacker. Earlier after practice, 134 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: he joined myself and Jeffrey Gorman to talk about how 135 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: therapeutic it's been for him this so far this camp, 136 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: and to be back on the field enjoying football once 137 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: more with his teammates. 138 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 5: We are joined now by a familiar face, a fan favorite, 139 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 5: a leader on this football team. You've been moving around 140 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 5: well this camp, but Shaquille Leonard, it's been a minute 141 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: since you've been on his football field.

You know, wheneverever it was 347 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 6: my time to play. You know, he cheered for me. 348 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 6: Then last year I had an opportunity to cheer for him. 349 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 6: You know, I was so happy for him. And you know, 350 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 6: our games two different style games. You know, he's a 351 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 6: downhill head hunter. 352 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: You know I'm more. So let me get into one. 353 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 6: Let's say I can take the ball away and we 354 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 6: kind of calm back each other that way, Like I 355 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 6: asked him, hey, how do you what do you see here? 356 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 4: And what makes you play faster downhill? 357 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 6: Then he asked me, hey, how do you make a 358 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 6: quarterback throw to where you want to make the quarterback 359 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 6: to throw? So we kind of, you know, work off 360 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 6: that we sit beside each other and meeting, so we 361 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 6: constantly talking, were constantly communicating, because that's what it's gonna 362 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 6: take on the field. If we got a linebacker that 363 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 6: you can trust on the field. Man, you're just like 364 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 6: playing backyard football because even in the scheme, you can 365 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 6: say you that you have a gap. If you got 366 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 6: a linebacker, you say Hey, I'm just about to trust 367 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 6: my instincts. 368 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: I'm gonna hit this gap and that boom. He's covering 369 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: you your hey gap. Man. 370 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 6: That's one thing about you know, us two just being 371 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 6: together for so long. 372 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 4: So man, I'm ready.

I know you're pressed for time. 375 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with us, Shack. 376 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: Congratulations on just your spirit back. Love having you back 377 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: on the field and that smiling face. So continue success, 378 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: have a great rest of camp. 379 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: Yes, sir, thank you again. 380 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: That's Shaquille Leonard from early today here at Colts Camp 381 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Gorman. I'm Matt Taylor. We're back once again 382 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: at camp JJ Stangowitz here at Graham Park Training Camp. 383 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: Brought to by Course and Fire and Security. You know 384 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: we asked this question, Jj. It's very important in Shaq's 385 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: mind to come back and be a playmaker within this defense. 386 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: Ghana Stefan Gilmour. Ghana is Rodney McLeod unique and Gocway 387 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: Bobby ocaract linebacker. Right, the meat of this defense is 388 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: still here, right, you still love Grover Stewart and DeForest 389 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: Buckner and Kenny Moore and Zaire Franklin after the season 390 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: that he had last year. But playmaking ability is very 391 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: big and Shaq thinks that he can come back and 392 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: do that considering all that talent that left the door 393 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: in the offseason. 394 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: And think about it this way too, that this Colts 395 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: defense last year was for the most part solid. They 396 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: tailed off toward the end of the season. You know, 397 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: some extenuating circumstances there you can help you write it off, 398 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: But for the most part, they played solid, sound defense. 399 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: They didn't have you know, let up a lot of 400 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: explosive plays. They defended the run really well, but they 401 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: didn't take the ball away. And you know, you get 402 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: shock out there and keep people out of the end 403 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: zone in red zone, right, yeah, that you know, those 404 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: are two things that you get shack in there. If 405 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: he doesn't take the ball away, he's i mean, you 406 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: get that condensed space in the red zone and guy 407 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: who's got arms you know, as big as a semi truck, Like, 408 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: it's kind of hard to throw the ball against him 409 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 3: in the red zone. So, uh, you know that that 410 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: to me, if he continues to trend in the right direction, 411 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: those are two areas where it's just right off the 412 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: bat if he's on the field, the Colts are going 413 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 3: to be better in those areas. And you know, look, 414 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: this is a defense that I think might need to 415 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: shoulder some of the load if and when Anthony Richardson 416 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 3: comes in. You know, you probably don't want Anthony getting 417 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: in shootouts right off the back. 418 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're giving up twenty eight points per game, 419 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough. 420 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: That's a lot for a rookie quarterback to have the face. 421 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: But if you can give him a shot to win 422 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: these games, and you know, maybe you win it twenty 423 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: one seventeen or twenty four to twenty or you know, 424 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: seventeen thirteen, and maybe it's not the most sexy final score, 425 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 3: but man, every player will tell you, Matt, it's much 426 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: easier and much better to make correct after a win 427 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 3: than a loss. Just the mood is better. Yeah, you 428 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 3: feel better about yourself even if your play maybe wasn't 429 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 3: up to the standard. The vibe in the building is better. 430 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: The Colts defense is going to need to shoulder quite 431 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: a bit of that. And again that goes back to 432 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: if you get Shack Leonard out there, this defense is 433 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: gonna have a better shot at being that kind of 434 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: force within the building that will help Anthony Richardson development 435 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: just by kind of yeah, its own presence. 436 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, just always being in games, right, Yes, that's so important. 437 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: You know. 438 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: I just always feel like you have a shot and 439 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: the defense can do their part to make that happen. 440 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: All right. 441 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: To close out here, JJ, maybe putting you on the 442 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: spot a little bit. 443 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: But some of those under the radar guys, those guys. 444 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: That are going to be scratching and clawn for playing 445 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: time and roster spots, those preseason games are going to 446 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: be so vital for them. Who are some guys that 447 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: are kind of catching your eye early on in this 448 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: camp that maybe we're not on your radar in the spring. 449 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 3: Ethan for Nia had a pretty nice catch today on 450 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 3: a deep ball eighty four. Yeah, he's a guy who 451 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 3: was on the practice squad last year all of last year. 452 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: All of last year. He got called up for I 453 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 3: think one or two games. You know, a guy you 454 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: could probably contribute on special teams. But I kind of 455 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: noticed a little bit from him, you know, talking about 456 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 3: the corners again, Daryl Baker Junior going back to him, 457 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: but he's not really under the radar. 458 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: He's the first team defense. 459 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: Those are kind of two guys who've I've kind of 460 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 3: jotted down in my notebook, one on each side of 461 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 3: the ball, but just something that's sort of under the radar. 462 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 3: It's just good to see like Rigo Sanchoz back out there. 463 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: You know he's a punter, and you know, whatever you 464 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 3: may say about that in terms of you know, he's 465 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: under the radar, but the Colts haven't had to worry 466 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: about who their punter is. And again, you're talking about games. 467 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 3: If these games are going to be close, and maybe 468 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: on the lower scoring end, if you have a rookie 469 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 3: quarterback in there, it's gonna take everyone and field position 470 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 3: is going to be incredibly important. And if your offense 471 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: is not able to drive downfield a bunch, Hey, having 472 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: a good punter and Rigo Sanchez back out there, that's sneaky. 473 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: Little good at the directional punto yea, it changes the 474 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: landscape of a game. All right, nugget alert here, Rigoberto Sanchez. 475 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: To your point, he's placed nearly forty percent of his 476 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: career punts inside the opponent's twenty yards. That seems pretty good, 477 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: Pretty darn good and he's top the forty percent mark 478 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: and three of his five NFL seasons his last year 479 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: obviously was twenty twenty one. Just so psychologically good to 480 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: see him out here after tearing that Achilles right here 481 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: at Graham Park last year during training camp.
