1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Hey, Mike, how are you doing today. I'm doing well. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm curious how you prepare for a quarterback has played 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: just one NFL game. Do you go back to you know, 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: college film or how do you handle that. That's a 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: great question, Karen. You know, he's played him one regular 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: season game, but he's also played in a couple of 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: preseason games, so it's good to see his you know, 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: activity in those games. You know, obviously there are different situations, 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: there are different players on the field, but you can 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: get a field for the quarterback in there. You know, 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: he's played that entire game, so you can kind of 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: get a field for him there. Again, we'll see what 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: it is on Sunday. You know, he's a talented guy. 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: Excited to play against him. Do you consider him a 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: threat to run or what? What do you detect about 16 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: his mobility? He's definitely a mobile quarterback. You know, he's 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: got some good off of us him to him, he's 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: got some good pocket poise as well. You know, if 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: you watch him in the game and in the preseason, 20 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: he does a really nice job of stepping up in 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: the pocket, staying discipline, and keeping his eyes downfield, going 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: through his reads right but if there's green grass, of 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: course he's gonna take it. Yeah, more so him, they'd 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: say Matt Ryan. So it's a completely different type of 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: challenge with Ellen Drew. Would you say, well, you know, 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: I think if Matt had a good opportunity to run, 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: he would take it, knowing his skill set. And you 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: know Sam knows his skill set a little bit better, 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: so he got a little bit more athleticism. He'll take that, 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, when he's got the chance. Yeah. As for 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: their threats Pittman, I mean, what do you see from 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: their wideouts? Yeah, so Michael Pittman, you know we saw 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: him last year. You know, he's a really big, physical, 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: you know receiver. You know, he's very good on those 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: intermediate routes, you know those pop passes, you know, the 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: routes over the middle. He's a strong guy, so he 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: can make contested catches. You know, he's tough. He can 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: take a hit, so it's not like you're going to 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: dislodge the ball from him. You know, he's definitely a 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: threat out there really wherever he is. You know, he 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: could be at the Z, he could be in the slot, 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: and he can be the backside X as well. So 43 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: Knowing where he is is an important thing for us. 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Knowing where Paris Campbell is as well, because he's extremely explosive. 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's fast. You know, he's got good ability 46 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: to get vertical in the defense. So knowing where those 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: two guys is really important. And I'm not going to 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: forget about you know, Alec Pierce either. You know, the rookie, 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: he's pretty good. You know, if you watch him, he's 50 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: got a lot of downfield targets, you know, but he's 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: also got a decent amount of shortain or media targets. 52 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: You know, he can run rounds at all three levels. 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: So you know, this is a good group to go 54 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: up against. I'm excited for the opportunity, right for our 55 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: guys who go out there and compete against him. You know, 56 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: it should be a good show for those guys. But 57 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: getting after it when last one if you don't mind 58 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit off the wall. But 59 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, trade deadline day can be nervous, nerve wracking 60 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: a bit for some of the players. Is it different 61 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: for the coaches or do you you know, is there 62 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: any apprehension over who you might have or lose on 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: a day like this. I mean, Karen, anybody can get traded. 64 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if they can get me for a vending machine, 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: you know that probably has happened before. So you know, 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I really don't look too much into it. You know, 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: you take each day as it comes, and you know 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know, it's part of 69 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the league. It's a business at that point. You know, 70 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I love all of our guys. Sorry, got a bug 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: in here. I love all of our guys. You know, 72 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: as a group, something happens, it'd be a business decision 73 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: and wouldn't have to be anything to do with players. 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: And then for the Indianapolis Colts, you know they just 75 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: had a well again sorry the book. They just had 76 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: a staff move as well. So anything can happen in 77 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: this business. It is what it is. It's a business. Great, 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: thank you for entertaining me, No problem. I was enjoying 79 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: our conversations. We could go right to Mike Race go 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: ahead and Mike, all right, thanks Aaron, Mike, I just 81 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: popped on. Have you we've been gone through the Colts 82 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: yet or are we? I did? I did? I Nope, nope, nope. 83 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I want to keep you efficient and there's no need 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: I can I can catch up on it. How are 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: you doing. I'm good, good, Yeah, it's it's a great day. Um, 86 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: you know I'm here. So that's kind of going back 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: to our previous conversation there you go, all right, Well, 88 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: I just want to check in and say hello and 89 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: just sort of looking ahead to the Cult style of 90 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: play offensively, Yeah, what stands what stands out to you 91 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: in terms of their style of play? Uh, you know, 92 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna see a little bit different of an offense 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: than we've seen. Um, you know, we saw a different 94 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: type of offense with Mat Ryan. You know that you 95 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: see with Sam. You know it is it falls under 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: the same tree obviously, but Sam does some things better 97 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: than Matt does. Matt obviously does things better than Sam does. 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: But Sam is still a very dangerous quarterback. So really, 99 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: you have to prepare for a lot. You're not really 100 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: sure what you're gonna get, especially with you know, the 101 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: recent staff change that they've had. I can't you know, 102 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: they can really come out here and do anything. You know, 103 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: if you go back to last year's game as well, 104 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: you know they can go back to that game plan. 105 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: So got our hands full with our preparation, but we're 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity as always, right, it's another day, right, 107 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: we get a chance to go out there and play 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So I'm thankful for that, and I can't 109 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: wait for our guys to go out there and compete. 110 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: They runs support from Jack stood out to me a 111 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: little bit in the last game, and I'm wondering what 112 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: you've seen from him in that area in terms of 113 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: growth from when you got him to where we sit now. Yeah, 114 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: So look, what we're looking for is consistency. Can you 115 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: do it down in and down out? So one two 116 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: games not enough. We got to be able to be consistent. 117 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: And that's all aspects of our game right on the field, 118 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: off the field, all that can bind. Right. You have 119 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 1: to be able to do things at consistent level because 120 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: the play in this league, right, this is the league 121 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: of not for long. So consistency is key, right, not 122 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: only for your professional growth, but for your personal growth 123 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: as well. Not just talking about Jack, talking about everyone 124 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: works for me, Mike, I appreciate it. Might I might 125 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: be swayed by one play there, you know, when he 126 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: came off the edge and might have been unblocked on 127 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: that but still made the tackle. But yeah, no, it 128 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: was a good play. But one play is one play, 129 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, we need I see what you're saying. I 130 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: see what you're saying on that. So yeah, and I 131 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: would say that for any of our guys as well. 132 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't just you know, single out Jack on that. 133 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate the conversation as always. Yeah, it's good to 134 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: hear from you, Mike. You look like you're doing good hack, 135 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: always talking ball. What could be better? You're gonna get 136 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: a mustache. It's November, man, come on, man, it doesn't 137 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't look good, you know. And then you're 138 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: like halfway through and you're trying to be on TV 139 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: and it's distracting. Oh sorry, you got the TV deal, 140 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, and no one's listening to what you say. 141 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: They're looking at the stubble, you know. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, Hey, 142 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't see any other hands raised going once, twice, 143 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: three times, Karen, Mike, thank you very much. I appreciate 144 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: a great week.
