Well, I guess 20 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm still in the middle, but getting that right, just 21 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: looking back and you know, seeing some of the things 22 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: these young guys are doing and being able to say like, 23 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: oh yeah, I used to do that too, but here 24 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: try this, you know, and I can kind of relate 25 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: to both parties. You know, I can relate to my 26 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: little bit because you know, I've done it three years. 27 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: But I can also relate to the young guys because 28 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: this is their first time and I remember what it 29 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: was like when I was coming in, you know, so 30 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: it gives me a little nice middle of the road perspective. 31 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: And in a way, I mean, you're kind of not 32 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: necessarily like a rookie, but you're learning a new offense. 33 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: You got a new head coach, new offensive coordinator. Tom 34 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Manning comes back to the Colts as your tight ends coach. 35 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: How has that been to this point? 36 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 3: It's been great. You know, I know, MO new Tom. 37 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: I didn't get to know Tom until you know, just now. 38 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: But he's a great guy, great coach. I love working 39 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 3: with him and some of the new people we got 40 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: in here. They're just great all around, you know, coach, person, character, 41 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: all of that a one And yeah, I'm just you know, 42 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: it's something we say every year, but I'm excited for 43 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: this year. 44 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: You since that new energy. You know, it's one of 45 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: those things you don't ever say that last year was 46 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, it was down, but you just have that 47 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: just a new energy? What is that like? I mean, 48 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: have you noticed it every single day? 49 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: Oh? 50 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like it's like you're coming in from a 51 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: nice hot day and you just take a cool shower. 52 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: You feel JUVENI it's like that. 53 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: It's just like a fresh slate, you know, still learning 54 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: new stuff, but it feels new. It feels fresh. We're 55 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: going outside, we're repping it. 56 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: It feels good. Things are clicking. You know, there's a 57 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: little little things we got tied up, but that's just 58 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: you know, new stuff. 59 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: But as it's coming together, you're seeing the like what 60 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: the final picture could be, and that is very exciting. 61 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: Now we're talking with Kylon grantson coming into year three 62 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: here with the Colts, we're going to continue to talk 63 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: about the future. But looking at last year, you actually 64 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: led the tight end Room in receptions. But I'm sure 65 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: if you look at the stats and everything the offense, 66 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: there was just a lot of missing parts throughout. It 67 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: was tough to kind of fire. So I would say, 68 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, they say that big jump from year one 69 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: to year two was kind of a little hampered for you. 70 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: When you look at year three, what is is there 71 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: still a lot that you want to show that you 72 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: haven't really been able to display to this point. 73 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: Uh huh, absolutely, yeah. 74 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: You know, just last year, I mean there was a 75 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: lot of strife, there's a lot of adversity, a lot 76 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: of things changing, and you know, everybody could agree it 77 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: wasn't up to our standards. Fans, coaches, players, like we 78 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: all knew, like that wasn't good. 79 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: You know, that's what it. That wasn't what the. 80 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: Colt standards should have been, right, And yeah, definitely I 81 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: feel like my production was hampered. But at the same time, 82 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: I really want to be able to still use that 83 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: last year as a stepping stone to propel myself forward 84 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: into this next year and really jump off of what 85 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: you know should have been and take it taking it 86 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: forward into this next year. 87 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 2: I really hope to take a big lead forward into 88 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: the future. 89 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: Man, now, looking at upcoming here in twenty twenty three, 90 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: you got two new quarterbacks in the fold. You've got 91 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who's been inside this offense. How great has 92 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: it been for him to kind of give you some 93 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: some tools knowing this Shane Stiken kind of offense. 94 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: Oh man, it's great. You know, he's already so in 95 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: tune with it obviously. As you said, he's he's coming 96 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: up in it here. He's he came up up through 97 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: it already. So yeah, he's been a real good help 98 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: and he's he's starting to pull like advanced tech that 99 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: like you know, it's like, oh, hold on, hold on, 100 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: hold on, explain that to me going. 101 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: Here, you know. 102 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's really cool because it's kind of like 103 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: with with MO. You know, if there's some I don't understand, 104 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: he could just explain it to me and then boom, 105 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: that's that. We're onto the next. It's it's really nice 106 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: to have a VET in that sort of sense. 107 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: Right now. The other guy that you know everybody's been 108 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: talking about, you take him forth overall and Anthony Richardson 109 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: before we dive into what you've seen, did you get 110 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: into any of the draft pre draft stuff on any 111 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks at all? 112 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. 113 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: No, That's always one thing that fascinates me. We talk 114 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: to guys that already here, it's like I've been drafted. 115 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: I'm good. 116 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't need to focus on any of that. So, 117 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the buzz was exactly what you're seeing. I mean, 118 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: this guy is a freak. He's different than anything. What 119 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: have you seen to this point, you know, just a 120 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks with here in OTAs, but what have 121 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: you seen from Anthony Richardson? 122 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Here? Oh? 123 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: Man, you know, he's very like when I first came in, like, 124 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: he's a lot quieter than I thought he was. He's 125 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: a very quiet guy. But he's got a great personality. 126 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: He's a great he's a great character. Definitely big. He's 127 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: bigger than me, right, talling at me, And I was like, damn, 128 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: I hope he don't switch the tight end, you know 129 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: what I mean. But nah, big guy, big arm athletic. 130 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: But he's he's starting to pick up this offense, you know, 131 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: and and what we're seeing out there, like it's it's 132 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: really encouraging to see and just being able to work 133 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: with him, it's been a it's been a fun experience obviously, 134 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: you know, with his athleticism and makes him a dual 135 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: threat and it's very exciting to see what his ceiling 136 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: could be. 137 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Now when you look at training camp coming up real soon, 138 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna blink and it's gonna be here. 139 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: It was announced you're gonna have two joint practices. So 140 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: that's kind of where I want to end off here. 141 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: You've been through a couple of joint practices, you know 142 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: the benefits. How beneficial is it gonna be to have 143 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: two of those in this upcoming season. 144 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: It's gonna be awesome. 145 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: It's always like a game before the game, you know, 146 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: live reps and live competition is always important because there's 147 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: a difference between going against your own defense and going 148 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: against another team's defense. It's there's there's like I don't 149 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: know how to explain it, but you can see it 150 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: out there. Like the speed's different, the tempo's different, the 151 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: way we play is different because you're going to against 152 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: someone new, someone you've never seen before except for maybe 153 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: a few glimpses on film. And it just adds another factor, 154 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: you know, a little X factor that you don't really 155 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: account for, and you know, seeing how people adapt is 156 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, key, And I think that's why coaches always 157 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: emphasized that the joint practices are so important, because it 158 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: allows them to see exactly what you can do when 159 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: you're going up against another NFL athlete, and you know, 160 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 3: being able to show your stuff and being able to 161 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: do it consistently, you know, it speaks a lot to 162 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: your your you know who you are. 163 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: Well there you go, Kylon Grants. So we got mini 164 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: camp next week and then a little bit of time off. 165 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: Enjoyed that time away, and training camp will be here 166 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: before you know it. 167 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: I know, man, year three, here we come.
