1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: You, you know, more of a big picture thing, but 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: you know this league. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 2: You've been around this league a long time, and how 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: quickly things can go from up to down and down 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: to up. You know, the last time you guys saw 6 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: these Colts two years ago was a party over in 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: that stadium. And now two years later, you guys are 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: going through, you know, a really difficult stretch just in 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: terms of bigger picture for you and what you've seen 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: in this league. How do you ride that idea of 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: how things can change week to week but also year 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: a year, and how you just kind of when it 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 2: gets away from you or when it's rolling, it's you 14 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 2: can see both sides in this league on it really. 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: On a weekly basis. I think you tried to the 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: best you can. 17 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 3: Just stay in the present, whether you're high, whether you're up, 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: whether you're down. Just staying in the present. I think 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 3: that's probably the most important thing for our players. You know, 20 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: continue to improve, continue to find things that we can 21 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: always get better at. And then you know, you got 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: to be able to when things get tough. You really 23 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: found out a lot about yourself, So you continue to study, 24 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 3: you continue to work through a build those relationships because 25 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 3: that pays off for you in the end. 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Down the road. 27 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 2: Last week your offensive line had Jake at the guard 28 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: and this week's who knows what because it looks like 29 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: John michael Is, you know, he's walking in boot the 30 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: other day. 31 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, how much change are you going to see 32 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:21,639 Speaker 1: this week? 33 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to speak on the 34 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: injury status of it. They can hit that for you, 35 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 3: but whoever's in there, we'll be ready. We'll be ready 36 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: to rock and roll. Karen does a great job with 37 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: that group. 38 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: James. Again, there's those guys prepared. 39 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 3: Whether it's guys that have been here for a while 40 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: or guys who were just stepping in. Young guys, old guys, 41 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: older guys, you should say, but they do a good job. 42 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 3: They do a really good job with that. 43 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Get those guys prepared. Jake, Oh yeah, Jake was the 44 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: bright spot for me. 45 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: I think seeing a guy, you know step in, young 46 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: guys step in, played physical. Sure, there were things that 47 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: you can get better at, think plays that maybe he 48 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: missed here or there, but overall I thought it was 49 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: a good big step. 50 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: Forward for him. The rest you love the league, the 51 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: lost money, Yeah, I. 52 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: Mean, Malik Leak does a lot of really good things, 53 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: and I think some things obviously has been really productive 54 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: on the field, but off the field, in the meetings, 55 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: you know, studying, we'll put him a lot of different positions, 56 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: and he's absorbed all that information from coach Grow and 57 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 3: the coaching staff and just you know, kind of put 58 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: his little stamp on it, which is which is always 59 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: pretty cool. But but yeah, we asked him do a 60 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: lot inside play inside outside of multiple positions, motions, shifts, 61 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, and played. You know, we had certain things 62 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: where he was the wildcat throwing a pass and just 63 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 3: making good decisions on that too early in the season. 64 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: So you know, we've asked him to do a lot. 65 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: So for a young player, that's impressive. 66 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: Why do you think the uh, the yards perception, the 67 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: ability to get the ball down the field to him 68 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: hasn't come as consistently And it's probably he. 69 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: Would like or you would like either. 70 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: I would say it's it's a combination. 71 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a combination of either, you know, 72 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: catching those balls downfield, which he's done, you know, he's done, 73 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: had a pretty good production down downfield. But then it's 74 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: also the catch and runs, you know, hitting them in 75 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 3: stride and you know, put them in the right spot 76 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: where you can make plays after the catch, breaking tackles. 77 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: It's it's a lot of things and that's that's whether 78 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: it's protection, whether it's throw, whether it's the route depth, 79 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: all those things kind of affect that part portion of it. 80 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: So it's hard to pinpoint one thing because football is 81 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: so flexible and to give them play all those things 82 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: could be you know a little bit different. 83 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: You look at a thousand yards as an accomplishment or 84 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: a hundred catches I. 85 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: Mean of you, Yeah, I mean we're not really looking 86 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: at like those stats per se for like a benchmark. 87 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: We're just trying to get wins and that's. 88 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: Whatever whatever we got to do to find a way 89 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: to win, whether it's rushing the ball for a bunch 90 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: of yards or throwing the ball, whatever that combination is, 91 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: you know. 92 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: Find a way to win. 93 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: What's on on how helpful is it to have someone 94 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: who's been a receiver has play running back? But obviously 95 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: if that touchdown cash, howful has it been in this 96 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: offense where you can use it in so many ways? 97 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: He's been able to produce like you have so far? 98 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tyronds done a really good job in that 99 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: room with Devin Singletary kind of the leader of that 100 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: room and a long time vet, been in this offense 101 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: for a while, and so you know, Tracy's in a 102 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: really nice job just you know, kind of following along, 103 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: learning his footsteps, learning his routine. He's starting to figure 104 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: out figure it out as a pro. And he's had 105 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: a lot of carries. I think to date he's had 106 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: more carries this year than he had these two previous 107 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: years combined in college. 108 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: So you know that's. 109 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Also a part of it that you got to you know, 110 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: take into account as a coach and evaluate. But again, 111 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: he's done a really nice job of handling all of it. 112 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 3: And when he can play out on the back like that, 113 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 3: that total catch is that just like, hey, now do 114 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 3: you catch on the back. 115 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: But he showed they can feed down and that's right, 116 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: that's right. 117 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: And he had that skill set coming out of college 118 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: and which is why, you know, which is why we 119 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: loved him coming out and so you know, you can 120 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: continue to develop that, right He's still there's still portions 121 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 3: of that of his game that we can develop
