26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: breaking down all that went right for the Colts in

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: the season opener, all the positives that were everywhere on

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium as the Colts demolished

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: the Dolphins thirty three to eight, giving the Colts their

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: first Week one win since twenty thirteen. And Daniel Jones

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: at quarterback was spectacular in his Colts debut, Starting in

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: his first game in the regular season since last November.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: He completed seventy five percent of his passes, accounted for

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, including two rushing. He threw for two hundred

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: and seventy two yards and became just the fifth quarterback

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: in NFL history to have two hundred and fifty plus

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: passing yards and two or more rushing touchdowns in their

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: first game of a season. It was almost offensive utopia

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: for the Colts on Sunday. They scored on all seven

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: of their offensive possessions, becoming the first team since at

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: least nineteen seventy seven to score on every offensive possession

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: of a game. The Colts led twenty to nothing at halftime,

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: and they were never threatened after they built up that

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: big lead at intermission. The defense was equally as stellar

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: for the Colts, shutting out the Dolphins through three quarters.

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: The Colts held Miami to just two hundred and eleven

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: yards of offense. They forced three turnovers to go along

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: with three sacks and six quarterback hits. On the afternoon,

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: Indianapolis was plus three in the turnover differential and they

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: had seventeen points off of those takeaways by the defense.

51
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: All the newbies for the Colts that they brought in

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: in the offseason, they shined out brightly. Charvarius Ward he

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: was shutting down receivers, Cam Bindam had an interception. Tyler

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Warren chipped in with seven catches, including three on the

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: first drive of the game. Xavion Howard recovered a fumble

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: generated by Kenny Moore the second on a sack, and

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: DJ Giddins ran hard to the fourth quarter of the

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: rookie out of Kansas State, giving Jonathan Taylor a blow

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: after a workload there in the first two and a

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: half quarters by Taylor. So the Colts are one to

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: OHO for the first time in a long long time,

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: and now they set their sights on the Broncos, who

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: are also want to oh heading into week number two.

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Denver beat the Titans on Sunday despite them turning the

65
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: football over four times, and so now the Colts will

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: look for their first two to zero start since two

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: thousand and nine next Sunday with another home game at

68

Speaker 5: It was a big time special moment, you know, for

00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: was in that locker room. I know he was in

106
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: that stadium watching down on us for the whole game.

107
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: And Uh, to have that moment in the locker room

108
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,680

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,719

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: It was just a very special moment.

111
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: And I think you talked about this after the game,

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: if not, maybe on Friday. I apologize, but you you

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: commissioned a new idea this year. The Colts have a

114
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: a Jim Irsay inspired guitar that you planned to hand

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: out to a different player every week prior to the game.

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Can you tell us where you kind of came up

117
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: with that.

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 5: Idea In the spring when he passed away, you know,

119
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, you know this year is going

120
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: to be big and honoring him. And I said, what's

121
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: the way that we can honor him every single week

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: when we take that field, whether it's home or away.

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: And I know he had a passion for music, you

124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: know all his stuff that he has, his instruments, he's

125
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 5: got a band, the Jim Irsay Band, And I thought,

126
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 5: how cool would it be to make a guitar, you know,

127
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: with our totem on there that says win for Jim,

128
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: and you know, I had the help of Pete ward

129
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: Our President.

130
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: I called Pete and.

131
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 5: I said, hey, I said, I want to do this thing.

132
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: I want to keep it a surprise. I said, but

133
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 5: I want to get this guitar made. I think it'd

134
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 5: be cool to bring it everywhere. We go into the

135
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 5: locker room, put it on the guitar stand in the

136
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 5: locker room, and he.

137
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: Said, yeah, that sounds great. Let's do it.

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 5: And you know, I called him back, you know, maybe

139
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: about a month later for a training camp and I'm like, hey,

140
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: this guitar.

141
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: The guitar, I.

142
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 5: Said, just surprise. We got to make it a surprise.

143
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: He's like, all right, cool, He's like, let me know

144
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: if you need help with that. I said, oh, I

145
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: need you to help me do it because I don't

146
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: even know where to start.

147
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: How do you make a guitar?

Speaker 5: whole thing. I got we got to get the amp

161
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: amp and plug that.

162
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

163
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: In right, I mean it's the whole deal. So it's awesome.

164
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 5: And uh, like I said, it'll travel with us. You know,

165
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: he'll be a part of us all year.

166
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: So the guy that gets the guitar every week, does

167
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: he have to play guitar? How many how many guys

168
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: on the team can can strum it?

169
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.

170
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if any guys on the team played

171
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: the guitar, to be honest, I'm gonna have to ask

172
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: that question. Yeah, but yeah, I'll get it out to

173
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: a guy every Saturday night in the team meeting, kind

174
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: of talk about that guy for a little bit and

175
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: then they you know, they carried it into the stadium

176
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: on Sundays.

177
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: All right, So when you go back and you you

178
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: watch the game tape from a game like yesterday, so

179
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: much good? Right, you dominate thirty three to eight. How

180
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: much did the good outweigh the bad. I know you

181
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: watch with a very critical eye, but I mean how

182
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: pleasurable was it to to watch that film and see

183
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: all the positives right out of the gate for your

184
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: team in week one?

185
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was huge.

186
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: I think the work that we put in in training

187
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: camp was critical this year, and playing the Commoreney football

188
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 5: was a big part of this thing going into it,

189
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: and I thought our guys did a great job of it.

190
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: The three takeaways on defense and then getting seventeen points

191
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: off those turnovers was huge, and that's how you got

192
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: to play in this league, you know, take care of

193
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: the football and play Combereney football. And our guys did

194
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 5: a heck of a job executing a lot of things

195
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 5: that you know, came up in the game, and obviously

196
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: still things to clean up, as we know there always

197
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 5: will be, but our guys, like I said, all three

198
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: phases were just awesome.

199
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: You know.

200
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones was absolutely sensational. Seventy five percent completion percentage,

201
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: no turnovers, spread the ball around seven different guys caught

202
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: a pass. It was the intermediate passing game. But he

203
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: also took some shots down the field. I think you

204
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: had eight completions for the game over fifteen yards. I mean,

205
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: what was your level of satisfaction from him making his

206
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: Colt's debut.

207
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 4: It was great.

208
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: Like I said, he kept us, stayed steady, kept us

209
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 5: on schedule, found the completions, hit the shots when they

210
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 5: were there, and then just like you said, he distributed

211
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 5: the ball to everybody. You know, if the first read

212
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: wasn't there, he got to a second, third read, sometimes

213
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 5: four to read. And I think it started up front

214
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 5: with the protection. That was one of the keys going

215
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: to this game was controlling the line of scrimmage. And

216
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 5: they got a good defensive line, and I thought our

217
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 5: O line did a hell of a job all four

218
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 5: quarters in the run and the pass game to give

219
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: him time in the pocket to be efficient as he was.

220
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: And then the guys just going making plays. There's some

221
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 5: great catches out there by a ton of guys, and

222
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 5: then they run after the catch on some of those things,

223
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 5: guys making guys miss.

224
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: It all went into it. So it was just a

225
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: total team win.

226
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: You know.

227
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: With Daniel Jones, he's worked so hard since he's been here,

228
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: right he picked up back in March. He's worked so

229
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: hard to earn the team's trust and respect. He's the

230
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: new guy, but to be fair, there's there's been a

231
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: lot of new guys around here lately. I mean, the

232
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 2: locker room's been through a lot of quarterbacks. What what

233
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: kind of work did Daniel Jones put in that regard

234
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: to be there for his team and earn that trust

235
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: and respect that you have to have to be the

236
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: starting quarterback at the beginning of a season with a

237
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: new team.

238
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he earned it quickly with his work

239
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: ethic in here, grinding early, always the last one to leave.

240
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: I think he connected with the guys really well, not

241
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: only just the offensive guys, but the defensive guys. The

242
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 5: way he communicates with those guys, and yeah, you walk

243
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: in and the cafeterias he's eating with the linebacker or

244
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 5: whoever it may be, and going out with the dvs

245
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 5: or whatever it is. So I thought he did a

246
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 5: hell of a job earning their trust, connecting with them.

247
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 5: And then just the way he prepares and the work

248
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: he puts in and the performance that he had all

249
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: through OTAs and in the training camp, and to see

250
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 5: the performance like he did have you know yesterday on Sunday,

251
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 5: it was awesome. I wasn't surprised because I know the

252
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 5: work he puts in and guys fought for him like crazy,

253
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: and he played a hell.

254
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: Of a game at Shane. Sticking with us tonight, this

255
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: is Colt Round Table Live ninety three five one seven five.

256
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: A final couple of things and we'll get into a

257
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: handful of fan questions with your coach tonight. We'll get

258
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 2: you on your way. I know you're very busy, but

259
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: the Dolphins had barely over two hundred yards of offense,

260
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: and some of that came in garbage time, right, you

261
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: know exactly what I'm talking about. What was your overall

262
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: takeaway from the defensive performance that first outing right away

263
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: with louis an Arumo guiding the strings.

264
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought from the start it was fast and

265
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 5: physical and aggressive. Lou does a great job of putting

266
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 5: those guys in position. He dialed up the pressures at

267
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 5: the right time, multiple looks on the back end, and

268
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: then the guys went out and executed and made place.

269
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: The pass rush was getting home, obviously buying him getting

270
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: the pick law two getting in on the action on

271
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: an interception. You know, Kenny coming off the edge getting

272
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: the sack, fumble and X picking that thing up. I

273
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: thought it was just awesome all around, great performance for

274
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 5: those guys.

275
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: He here's one for you. How good's Tyler Warren?

276
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: He's pretty darn.

277
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 5: Good sloaded question right obviously week one, you know, sensational,

278
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: but he was phenomenal in week one and we got

279
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: to continue that, you know, get created with him, find

280
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: ways to get into the ball each and every week

281
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 5: with the rest of the guys.

282
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: So grateful to have mon our football team, no doubt

283
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: about it.

284
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: All right, before we get into the fan questions, you

285
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: gave an injury report a little bit earlier today to

286
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: the media, and for those that you missed that and

287
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: for this audience, any updates on where you're at in

288
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: terms of health after game one.

289
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mooney is in the concussion protocol right now, so

290
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: we'll see how the week goes. And then Jalen Jones

291
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: has the hamstring, okay, and that's where it's happened. Everyone

292
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: else is pretty good.

293
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charvarius Ward there with the concussion. All right, let's

294
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: take a few questions from the fans to close out here.

295
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: Submit your thoughts and questions for head coach Shane Sticking

296
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: tonight and every Monday night hashtag Colts Roundtable. Carter has

297
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: done that, he says JT Jonathan Taylor had sixteen carries

298
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: in the first half and eighteen carries before Giddins even

299
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: had a rushing attempt. How sustainable do you think that

300
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: volume is for Taylor considering he didn't play in the

301
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, and he says, I personally expected to see

302
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: Giddins get some more early carries.

303
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see how it goes throughout the season. But

304
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: obviously JT's our guy, and if he's rolling good, if

305
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 5: he needs a breather, we'll get getting's in there. I

306
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: thought get into the good job stepping in in that

307
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: fourth quarter and making some plays.

308
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: But JT was rolling good.

309
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so we'll see how that all plays out

310
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 5: throughout the season.

311
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: All right, this is from Matt, He says, coach, the

312
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: team is playing for Jim Mersey this year. I am

313
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: all in on trying to honor him as best as

314
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: we can. How do you want to see the fan

315
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: base put all of their differing opinions aside and back

316
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: our team no matter what this season?

317
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 5: I think it's just showing up every single week for

318
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 5: us when we're at home at Lucas Soil Stadium, just

319
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: bringing the noise, bringing the energy.

320
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: Yep.

321
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 5: I know that he would want that for this football team.

322
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: And I thought the energy and the atmosphere of Luca

323
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: Soil on this past Sunday was phenomenal. We just need

324
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 5: that every Sunday and that type energy.

325
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: A couple more two more left here Joshua is asking, Hey, coach,

326
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: the team has dealt with close calls the last couple

327
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: of years, missing the playoffs. How do you think your

328
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: off season and training camp preparation helped generate Sunday's result.

329
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: You know, this offseason, my whole message of the team

330
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: was creating edge and being in great physical shape. And

331
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: you know, I've said this a few times, but we

332
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: had you know, four hundred and more reps in training

333
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: camp this season. We did a whole bunch of sudden

334
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: change drills to put those guys in those situations, and

335
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 5: they came up on Sunday. Yeah, we got the turnovers

336
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: and we got to go execut and score points off turnovers,

337
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: and that's playing compmentary football. And so I think our

338
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: guys at A had good job Week one doing that.

339
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 5: But you know, in this league you got to sustain that.

340
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: You know, you got momentum, you got to sustain it.

341
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: And it's a new week every week, so we got

342
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 5: to prepare the right way and get ready for Denver.

343
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, Chris is asking dealing with failure is hard,

344
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: but dealing with success can sometimes be harder. Sunday's game

345
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: was awesome, but it's still only one game. How do

346
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: you get the team to focus on the big picture

347
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: after such a dominating start.

348
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question.

349
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 5: I think in this league, the guys that have been

350
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: around it, no the veteran players, but the rookies, the

351
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: young players to know that, you know, this is a

352
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: tough league and you got to show up every single week.

353
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 5: And you know, I shared a thing in the team

354
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 5: meeting today. There's a little clip from Dan Jones press conference.

355
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 5: I think it was like the eleven minute mark to

356
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: like the fifty two second mark. He talked about, you know,

357
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: being in this league and learning that you've got to

358
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 5: sustain success and show up every week and prepare the

359
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 5: right way and have the right mindset to do it.

360
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 5: And I thought it was only fitting to share that,

361
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: you know, in the team meeting today because he couldn't

362
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: have said it any better.

363
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all right. The Broncos are up next. They're one

364
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: to zero as well. They beat the Titans twenty to

365
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: twelve in Week one. You played them last year, they

366
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: had six sacks on defense. What are your early part

367
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: of the week impressions, I should say of Denver?

368
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good football team.

369
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: I think offense, defense, and special teams, all three phases.

370
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: You know, got a lot of respect for their coach

371
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: and their football team, and you know what he's able

372
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: been able to do there the last couple of years

373
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: since he's been there. So it'll be a hell of

374
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 5: a chance for us. I know our guys are looking

375
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: forward to that challenge. The head rushers are good players. Yeah,

376
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: they got some weapons on offense, quarterbacks playing goodball. So

377
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: we're excited for the challenge though.

378
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: To be at home, indeed, trying to get off to

379
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,280

00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: Has your day been so far?

432
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 7: Oh, it's been absolutely great. I mean, you know, I

433
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 7: get up early and do that tape and normally it's

434
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 7: a post mortem. Today it was a joy. It was

435
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 7: absolutely a joy. I don't know, honestly, you know, since

436
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 7: I've been in broadcasting, when I've ever been more excited

437
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 7: and exhilarated, you know, from beginning to end. And you

438
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 7: and I know we both just had fun yesterday. I mean,

439
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 7: the best way I can put it is, we had

440
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 7: fun for sixty minutes.

441
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: It was a full fun sixty minutes. And week number

442
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: one for the Colts Indianapolis rolled thirty three to eight.

443
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 2: We got a lot to get into tonight coming up

444
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: on segment three. After this segment, we're gonna.

445
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: Roll out a little.

446
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: Bit called that was Fun. That's a look back at

447
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: all that went right for the Colts, and it was

448
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: a lot in game number one. We'll also question if

449
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: it's sustainable starting Week two against the Broncos. But on

450
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: this segment, we let Rick and Joe comment on their

451
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: initial reactions from the game. We call it taiale of

452
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 2: the tape.

453
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 4: Baby raising hell today.

454
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Collot, bang bang, play bang bang, keep.

455
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 3: The hammer down, keep talking to one another minute, clean

456
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: it up.

457
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: That's all.

458
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 4: Get rdy, get rdy.

459
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.

460
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: Well, the Colts again destroyed Miami thirty three to eight.

461
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: It was the first Week one win for the Colts

462
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: since twenty thirteen. Of that twenty five point margin of victory,

463
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: by the way, for the Colts, their largest one since

464
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: a thirty one to nothing win at Houston all the

465
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: way back in December of twenty twenty one one. But,

466
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: like you guys have already chronicled a little bit, we're

467
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 2: gonna have to get out that microscope to find out

468
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: any flaws from Sunday's game. Because Daniel Jones was sensational.

469
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: The Colts scored on all seven of their drives. The

470
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: defense held the Dolphins scoreless through three quarters, They created

471
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: three takeaways, they had three sacks, and then on special teams.

472
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: New kicker Spencer Strader seven for seven on his kicks,

473
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: four field goals along a forty eight. So, Joe, the

474
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: floor is yours, man, What do you want to highlight

475
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: on your tail?

476
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 4: The tape?

477
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: A lot of positives here.

478
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 6: Well, when you go to Week one in the NFL,

479
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 6: there's been fifteen games and the Vikings and Bears are

480
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 6: going to play in a little bit. But there were

481
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 6: eleven to one score games. There were three games that

482
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: somebody won in the teams and the Colts win by

483
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 6: twenty five. So there's a clear outlier, and it's great

484
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 6: to be the outlier. And what I loved Matt is

485
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 6: really won some problem areas from last year. Time of possession,

486
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 6: completion percentage, tight end catches, we're bottom of the NFL,

487
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 6: turnover margin minus three. We held the ball for thirty nine,

488
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 6: we were seventy six completion percentage, seven catches from Tyler Warren, who,

489
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 6: by the way, I think arrived in grand eos fashion.

490
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 6: He's going to be a star in this league. And

491
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 6: we're plus three and turnovers and so what I love

492
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 6: is all these off season things, the changes. What do

493
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 6: you want things to look like? What's going to be different.

494
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 6: We executed them, and my quick three things from the

495
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: game won credit to the players and the coaches. They

496
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 6: were ready to play physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. They started fast.

497
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 6: All the things that Shane Steichen talked about in training camp,

498
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 6: switching it up, more aggressive, more hitting, more team periods,

499
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 6: more live periods.

500
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: They were ready to go.

501
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 6: And when you go to the offensive side of the ball,

502
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 6: just the diversity we had in offense, all the different formations,

503
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 6: the motions. In the run game. We were pulling guys

504
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 6: almost every play. We were bringing tight ends back and

505
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 6: receivers back to crackback or wham, you know that backside

506
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 6: defensive end. All those different wrinkles, even though you're running

507
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 6: the same type of plays that puts the defense in

508
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 6: conflict and they're back playing on their heels and we're

509
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 6: playing aggressive, and especially the RPO game, which you know,

510
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 6: run pass options, so you're gonna hand the ball off

511
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 6: to Jonathan Taylor, you're reading the defense. If the linebackers

512
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 6: come up or they're free, then you pull it and

513
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 6: throw it. We did that early and often, and Daniel

514
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 6: Jones made almost every correct decision in the game. Really

515
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 6: credited him his first game in the Colts uniform for

516
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 6: just being a tremendous colonel there, you know, for the

517
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 6: troops in the huddle, and then on defense, I just

518
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: loved watching just how different it felt, how aggressive we

519
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 6: were on defense, playing tight coverage. Early in the game,

520
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 6: Miami's got the ball and they're in an empty formation

521
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 6: and we got seven guys mugged up at the line

522
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 6: of scrimmage. We dropped three guys out, so we still

523
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 6: have a four man rush, But what the that's do?

524
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 6: That puts the offensive line in conflict. Now they're thinking

525
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 6: more and they're worried less about the guy that they're blocking.

526
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 6: I just loved everything about the new defensive scheme. I

527
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 6: thought Lou called a tremendous game, and I'm just really

528
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: looking forward to watching the Colts build on this. All

529
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 6: the different packages, the exotics, the blitzes, all the different

530
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 6: types of coverage that they're going to play this year.

531
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 6: I just really felt Matt watching the game and then

532
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 6: rewatching this morning.

533
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 4: It's kind of a.

534
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 6: New look Colts, kind of a new era, a new quarterback,

535
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 6: and that's just exciting because of how well you played,

536
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 6: but then also what you can build on and what

537
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 6: this team can be as the season goes on.

538
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was really I just had a blast at

539
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 7: the game. I just absolutely loved the annihilation of the Dolphins.

540
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 7: To tell you the truth, you know, I thought, without question,

541
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 7: we looked like a contender. I mean, we looked good,

542
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 7: we looked well constructed, we looked very well coached, and

543
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 7: our players played on fire. There's no doubt about it.

544
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: I think I was probably more invested in this game

545
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 7: in this beginning than any other game I've been a

546
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 7: part of it. Part of it was the tribute to Jimmy,

547
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 7: my good friend. Part of it was how I so

548
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 7: much endorsed what we did the offseason. And I'm not

549
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 7: trying to be self serving here, but you know, I

550
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 7: totally totally endorsed the defense and changes with Luke coming

551
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 7: in and the type of players we brought in to

552
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 7: patch up that secondary. I totally endorsed Danny Jones from

553
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 7: the time that we signed him to midway through training camp,

554
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 7: when there was no doubt in my mind. Now, there's

555
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 7: gonna be some guys on the bandwagon after the day,

556
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 7: but there weren't many. To be honest with you, I was,

557
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 7: you know, I would I did old man jumping jacks

558
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 7: when the God of football allowed Warren to fall into

559
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 7: our place. And then the final thing is, I've been

560
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: telling everybody this is a team without a lot of

561
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 7: weaknesses when we get the rest of it. And to

562
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 7: be honest with you, you knew in the first two possessions,

563
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 7: one on offense and one on defense, you knew that

564
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 7: we were ready to roll. I mean, we were ready

565
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 7: to go. And we were a completely new team, you know,

566
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 7: with the transition and ownership. I don't think there's any

567
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 7: question that this was a new beginning. And yes, I

568
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 7: think my good friend up there in heaven someplace, I

569
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 7: think he really smiled. I think he really smiled at

570
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 7: this one. I mean I think this one really made

571
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 7: him feel good. And as I said after the game

572
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 7: last night, you know, the leader of the band is gone, ye,

573
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: but the legacy is just beginning and just starting. And

574
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 7: I just look for the twenty five colts. There's no

575
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 7: reason in my book why you know, why this team

576
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 7: can't be a real contender. What a great way to

577
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 7: start it. Just totally exciting. I know, it picked up

578
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 7: a city, It's picked up everyone. There might even be

579
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 7: miles shock about it, but in the end, I think

580
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 7: everybody's on board.

581
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: No question about it. Well said right there. That's Rick

582
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Venturi Joe Wrights for that. That's the tale the tape

Speaker 2: right for the Colts in game number one and also

00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,480

Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts. I'm Matt Taylor here, joined now by

612
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Rick Venturion Joe Wrights. On the last segment, we looked

613
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: at the film and we discussed all that went right

614
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: for the Colts in week one. But let's take a

615
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: deeper dive now and discuss if it's sustainable. This segment,

616
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: I'm calling that was fun, so many fun things, Like

617
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: you talked about Joe Wrights at the beginning of the

618
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: show back in segment number two, but it was really

619
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: fun to see Daniel Jones just completely ball out on Sunday, right,

620
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: I Mean, every reason Shane Steiken decided to roll with

621
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: him at quarterback was on display in Week number one,

622
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his passes two seventy two through

623
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 2: the air, accounting for three touchdowns. Seven different receivers caught

624
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: a pass. He pushed the ball down the field. I mean,

625
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: he averaged over nine yards per attempt yesterday. That was

626
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: the third highest single game rate of his career in

627
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: the NFL, which dates back to twenty nineteen. And that

628
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: was sort of a question mark, you know going into

629
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: the season, is you know, we knew Daniel Jones was

630
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: going to be accurate. We knew he was going to complete,

631
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, the high completion throws to keep the Colts

632
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: on schedule, down in distance, But what about the big

633
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: plays and the winning throws that every quarterback has to

634
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: make throughout the course of sixty minutes In the NFL,

635
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: the Colts were able to generate eight passing plays that

636
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: gained fifteen or more yards, which really stressed the Dolphins

637
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: on defense. So Joe Daniel Jones was fun on Sunday,

638
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: no doubt about that. But is that version of Daniel Jones.

639
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: Is that where we're going to see all season? How

640
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: sustainable was Sunday?

641
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: Oh?

642
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 6: I think for sure, Matt, and I think the first

643
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 6: thing you saw was just the operation, a clean operation,

644
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 6: going up, changing protections, getting the Colts in the right plays.

645
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 6: I mean, that's won all the pre snap stuff. And

646
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 6: then when you go to post snap, he was making

647
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 6: the right decisions early in the game on the run

648
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 6: the RPOs, when to pull the ball, when to throw

649
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 6: it for easy completions. His legs underrated. I mean two

650
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 6: touchdown runs. He had that scamper for eleven yards there,

651
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 6: which was big, But he's a guy that has, you know,

652
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 6: kind of that sneaky athleticism. You forget about him back there,

653
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: but on third and four, third and five, he's somebody

654
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 6: running the ball that defenses have to account for. And

655
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 6: then I thought he was really accurate down the field.

656
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the marquee throw for me was

657
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 6: that Pittman kind of cheer out early for the touchdown

658
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 6: when when he let that ball go, I mean, Pittman

659
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 6: hadn't even made his second move yet to streak down

660
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 6: the field and he let that ball fly hit him

661
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 6: right on the fingertips and he just rolled right into

662
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 6: the end zone untouched. So I thought Daniel Jones played phenomenal.

663
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 6: And what I'm most excited about, Matt is just it

664
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 6: gives the team in the city a chance to rally

665
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 6: around this guy. He's named the starter after the quarterback

666
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 6: petition and then he goes out and plays like that.

667
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: And I know the guys in the locker room believed

668
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 6: in him, but now you have all the fans in

669
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 6: the city that's like, all right, this is our guy.

670
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: And if he plays like that right there, I mean

671
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 6: you're talking, like coach said, about a legit contender. So

672
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 6: hats off to Daniel Jones. He carried the day in

673
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 6: the offense and just tremendous individual performance.

674
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about Rick.

675
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: I know you are very much on board with Daniel

676
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: Jones being named the starter going into the season, But

677
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: after what you saw on week number one, how much

678
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: more solidified are you thinking in terms of your confidence

679
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: and your belief in this guy?

680
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 7: Oh? Very much so. I mean, you know, first of all,

681
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: one of my questions going into the season was can

682
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 7: Daniel recapture what he was in twenty two? You go

683
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 7: back to twenty two, he led a very average team

684
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 7: to a nine to six and one got him into

685
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 7: playoffs through at sixty seven percent, fifteen to five touchdowns

686
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 7: to interceptions thirty two hundred yards and then he ran

687
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 7: for seven hundred and seven TVs. So there was a

688
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 7: ceiling there that can get you there, that can get

689
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 7: you to the promised land. And my biggest question was

690
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 7: the Colts be able to renew that, you know, that

691
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 7: fragile ego, that that he didn't have success for a

692
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 7: couple of years, and they certainly are able to do that,

693
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 7: you know, and all the things that I saw, and

694
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 7: I saw it early in training camp, there wasn't much

695
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 7: doubt in me from the very beginning that he had

696
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 7: it back. First of all, he is in total control

697
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 7: at the line of scrimmage. He's in total control of

698
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 7: the offense, whether it be checks. You know, he had

699
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 7: a big play on the cadence situation. He's tremendously accurate

700
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 7: Sunday pinpoint accuracy. You know, particularly in the middle of

701
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 7: the fields. You saw more balls completed between the numbers

702
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 7: and we've probably seen in about three years. You know,

703
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 7: the tight end is going to catch a million balls

704
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 7: with him. He has a really good touch. You know,

705
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 7: his vision out to Jonathan Taylor on a couple of

706
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 7: late checkdowns where he went through the progression and able

707
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 7: to put it right on the spot for Jonathan looking

708
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 7: at him. I don't think there's any question. And what

709
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 7: I liked, and I mentioned it to you right away,

710
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 7: and that first series is that he pushed the ball

711
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 7: last night. He pushed the ball on the wheel route,

712
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 7: the first wheel route, the layer route to Warren. He

713
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 7: then attempted, even though we didn't get it, but he's

714
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 7: throw a fifty to fifty ball up to Pittman, which

715
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 7: you have to do.

716
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: You know.

717
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 7: He hit the thirty six yard fade on the fifty

718
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 7: to fifty ball to Pierce and then the twenty four

719
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 7: yard touchdown up on a kind of a busted coverage

720
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 7: to Pittman. So he did everything, and I think more

721
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 7: what I liked was there was a little bit more

722
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 7: gunslinger early, you know, from that regard, and Joe's absolutely right,

723
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 7: and we've known that said we saw him in twenty

724
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 7: two against US. He ran for ninety yards and two touchdowns.

725
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 7: This guy can run. He comes out right now on

726
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 7: that boot leg and he can one thing Danny can do,

727
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 7: and we've seen it all training camp. He can really

728
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 7: throw it on the run. He can throw accurately on

729
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 7: the run. You know, they start to start the game

730
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 7: with a boot. You know, he comes out of there

731
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 7: and he gets it in there. You know, we're in

732
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 7: a situation. I think it was like second and twenty

733
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 7: five or something, and he gets like twelve of them

734
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 7: back on a scramble. So, you know, I don't think

735
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 7: there's any question about that. You know, we really have

736
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 7: a chance. This guy's only twenty seven years old. All

737
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 7: I've heard about for the last three weeks is what

738
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 7: he can't do. You know, I really got kind of

739
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 7: sick of it. So I was just elated that he

740
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 7: not only did what I expected, he probably went on

741
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 7: and beyond it.

742
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's some more fan buy in after

743
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: what they saw on Sunday week number one out of

744
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Perhaps the bandwagon is growing a little bit

745
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: after what he was able to display. This is Colts

746
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: Round Table Live tonight on ninety three five and one

747
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: oh seven five the Fan. We're talking Colts with Joe

748
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: Wrights and Rick vent TERI I'm Matt Taylor recapping the

749
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: big win for the Colts thirty three to eight over

750
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, and this segment is called that was fun.

751
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: It was really fun on Sunday to see the Colts

752
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: defense Rick terrorized to and that Dolphins offense. The Colts

753
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: held Miami to just two hundred and eleven yards of offense.

754
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: Colts forced three turnovers, three sacks, six quarterback hits. The

755
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: Colts were plus three and turnover differential seventeen points off

756
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: of takeaways and lou Anarumo Rick his unpredictability secondary blitzes

757
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: that produced sacks. You had defensive ends syncing into coverage

758
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: with the with the interception from Layatu Latu, and then

759
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: you had just a great job overall limiting big time playmakers.

760
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle combined for just seventy yards

761
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 2: of offense. And when the Colts were to play a

762
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: team like the Dolphins last year, routine lye We've talked

763
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: about this at nauseum, the other team's best player would

764
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: seemingly have a big game against the Colts defense. So

765
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: the Colts beating a legitimate quarterback is something that they've

766
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: really haven't done a whole lot of in the past

767
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: few years. But again, they had their way with Tua

768
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: in Week one.

769
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: Rick.

770
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: So the Colts defense certainly fun on Sunday, But is

771
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: that kind of confusion that they displayed is that going forward?

772
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 7: Oh? I think it definitely is. If you've studied him

773
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 7: over the years, it's there. And when he had good players,

774
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 7: when he had solid players, you know, he was right

775
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 7: at the top of the league. He took him to

776
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 7: the super Bowl. Really, and you know, I've seen it

777
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 7: in training camp. I was so in favor of this.

778
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 7: You know, I watched five or six years of vanilla

779
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 7: remedial coverages, remedial fronts, really not a proactive approach, just

780
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 7: kind of a bend and break. And in this league,

781
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 7: when you bend and break, you are definitely going to break,

782
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 7: you know. And Lou comes in with a very complex system,

783
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 7: and the NFL is about complex systems. It's not a

784
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 7: simplicity game. It can't be, or else they're going to

785
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 7: pick you apart. He brings in the complexity and what

786
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 7: I call proactive defense. He's going to be in your face.

787
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 7: He is going to play aggressive, he's going to play

788
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 7: to take it away. He's not going to sit there

789
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 7: and hope and contain and you know, keep it in

790
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 7: front and all that stuff. He is going to try

791
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 7: to take it away. Now he will do it different ways.

792
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 7: And that's why the complexity is there. It the complexity

793
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 7: shrinks by the week. In other words, by the week

794
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 7: you have a certain part of your complex system that

795
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 7: you're going to plug in. And that's what we call

796
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 7: game specifics. You know, like I think that Miami really

797
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: anticipated a lot more man to man coverage than they

798
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 7: got and instead what he did this week he mixed

799
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 7: the Manda man in zone. But what he did when

800
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 7: he played zone it was really tight. But more importantly,

801
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 7: what he did is he gave him the bluff and

802
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 7: blitz game. In other words, he got up. You know,

803
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 7: he gave you the He gave you the seven and

804
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 7: eight man front. Sometimes they came sometimes they came out.

805
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 7: He gave you different kinds of zones. You know, he

806
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 7: starts the game with a with a nickel blitz. It's

807
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 7: a force fumble, which is the standard of his. He

808
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 7: comes back with the safety blitz on a sack. You know,

809
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 7: he gets an interception on a basic zone because does

810
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 7: a good job of getting underneath it makes him loft

811
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 7: it up to bind them. So I think what he

812
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: did is he played Miami a little bit different than

813
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 7: they expected to be played with an I call a

814
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 7: bluff blitz, you know, and show give you that, give

815
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 7: you that loaded look and either come out or come

816
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 7: And yet most of the time it was only four

817
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 7: or five man rush, but he gave you the illusion

818
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 7: of all that other stuff and totally confuse them. I mean, honestly,

819
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 7: when you hold them to one hundred and thirteen yards passing,

820
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 7: I think that's what tool had. You're there, They're not

821
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 7: gonna beat you with those two dollars receivers going for

822
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 7: seventy yards. It was it was really over now. And

823
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 7: now I haven't watched Denver as hard as I have

824
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 7: and watched them yesterday. You know, I think he'll probably

825
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 7: play Denver different because and that's the beauty of his

826
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 7: complex system is you're going to see a true game

827
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 7: plan week after week after week. You're not gonna You're

828
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 7: gonna look at some weeks and it's gonna look totally

829
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 7: different than the next week. So nobody's more enthusied about

830
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 7: it than me.

831
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 6: I guarantee you, yeah, Coach just a dovetill real quick

832
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 6: when you have all of those guys up on the

833
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 6: line of scrimmage, seven eight guys, the conflict you have

834
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 6: as an offensive lineman and the quarterback in terms of

835
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 6: who's gonna come and who's not. And then the other

836
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 6: thing that's hidden in that is during the week. So

837
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 6: when Denver turns on the tape, now, all of a sudden,

838
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 6: they gotta have extra protection meetings, extra discussions, Well what

839
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 6: if they do this, what if they do that? And

840
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 6: that's a bunch of time spending worrying about what the

841
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 6: opposing team might do versus working on our own offense.

842
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 6: So I think that stuff is gonna help week to

843
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 6: week because teams are gonna have to prepare for one

844
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 6: hundred different things. You're only gonna run five or six

845
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 6: of them. Yeah, but that's a lot extra time you're

846
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: worrying about the opponent and not yourself to get better.

847
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: That's a great point, a lot of time on task

848
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 2: for things that you might see from lou An Arumo

849
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: now and that Colts defense last thing here on that

850
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: was fun again with Rick Ventury and Joe Wrights on.

851
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor Joe Tyler Warren was an absolute joy to

852
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: watch on Sunday Man. I mean, he recorded the second

853
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: most receiving yards by a Colts rookie tight end in

854
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 2: the first career start. Evan catches seventy six yards three

855
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: catches on that opening drive of the game. He also

856
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: took a handoff up the middle as a full back,

857
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: converting a first down. He threw a great open field

858
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: block on a Jonathan Taylor catch on the second drive

859
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: of the game for the Colts. So again, his usage

860
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: on offense was really fun to see. So do you

861
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: think games like that for Tyler Warren are in the

862
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: cards all season long? That's gonna be the norm from

863
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 2: number eighty four?

864
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 7: I do.

865
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 4: Warren does not seem like a rookie.

866
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 6: If you watch the tape, you would not say that

867
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 6: he's a rookie playing in his first NFL game. But

868
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 6: the ability to catch the ball and run afterwards, and

869
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 6: what I love is he's always seeking contact. He ain't

870
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 6: trying to run out of bounds, He's trying to run

871
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 6: you over. And then what you can do in the

872
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 6: blocking scheme, you can line him up. He's strong enough

873
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 6: to hold up at the point at the why, but

874
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 6: then to your point you can put him back in

875
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 6: the backfield. He can wham guys, he can seal the

876
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 6: edge and then you give him the hand off there

877
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 6: on that full back dive for three yards in roll.

878
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 6: So Warren was awesome. He is an old school throwback player,

879
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: somebody I love watching yesterday Matt and Colts fans are

880
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 6: gonna love watching him for years to come.

881
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no question in my mind the gods of

882
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 7: football delivered us a gift on draft day. I mean

883
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 7: we were doing jumpin' jacks on John Draft Day when

884
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 7: he fell to us. And I mean he he has

885
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 7: just come in and not only been that three down

886
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 7: star we thought he would be. He is every day

887
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 7: you go out there and he exceeds expectations. I mean

888
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 7: he really does. Uh. You know, I said a week ago,

889
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 7: we have two ambient players. We've got a lot of

890
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 7: good players, got two ambient players, I said, Jonathan Taylor

891
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 7: and Tyler Warren, who hasn't played it down yet. And

892
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 7: so you know, he he he made us all happy.

893
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 7: And I'll tell you he just gives you such a

894
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 7: problem on defense. I mentioned it before. You have a

895
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 7: really good stationary tight end in mo Aali And now

896
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 7: when he's in a game, with Moali. I mean, you're

897
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 7: you don't know if it's going to be two tight

898
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 7: ends run or or you don't know if it's gonna

899
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 7: be like three wives because he's a hybrid. As Joe said,

900
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 7: you can you know he's in the backfield, he's spread

901
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 7: out wide, he's in the stack. You know he's a

902
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 7: screen guy. I mean, he he could. He does it. Also,

903
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 7: you you have to figure out what am I gonna

904
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 7: do on defense when these two guys, you know, are

905
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 7: really in the game together. So you know, I just

906
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 7: I just see barring injury. I I really honestly see nothing,

907
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 7: you know, but greatness coming from him because he's one

908
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 7: of those rare guys that has all the tools, but

909
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 7: he has that free agent mentality. I mean, he is

910
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 7: going to fight you to the death, tough as hell,

911
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 7: as Joe said, yack guy, great receiver, hands wise. And

912
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 7: I tell you what, I pulled my left thigh. I couldn't.

913
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 7: I can hardly walk today. It's pulled because I jumped

914
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 7: for joy when he made that play in the fourth quarter,

915
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 7: caught that little flat pass and he broke those ankles

916
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 7: of those two Dolphins who fell down when he stopped

917
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 7: and started and then he ran through the next guy.

918
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 7: I mean, hanks to god that you know, that's one

919
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 7: of that that's opening day. That's one of the best

920
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 7: moves we've seen. It tied end forever.

921
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,080

958
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: couple of them, and these are juicy, SOEs are some

959
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: of the best ones here. Rick, this is up first

960
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: for you. This is a mission from Eric. He's asking,

961
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: all right, So what is it about lou Anrumo's defense

962
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: that allows it to be games specific? What do we

963
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: do on Sunday that we didn't show in the preseason? Also,

964
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: what is it about our secondary that made it really

965
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: tough on the Dolphins?

966
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 7: Well, I think the first thing about lou Is, and

967
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 7: I used this term before, is complexity. Okay. In other words,

968
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 7: he is going to teach a volume of defense to

969
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 7: that group. They're gonna they're gonna get in the off season,

970
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 7: they're gonna get it in training camp. They're gonna get

971
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 7: a volume of defenses from heavy man demand coverage to

972
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 7: matchup zones uh, to blitzes two different fronts. Uh. You

973
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 7: know the situations where they get into those heavy loads

974
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 7: and bluff heavy loads and blitz So there is a

975
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 7: big volume to his complexity. Now, what he's gonna do

976
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 7: is he's gonna pick and choose out of that volume

977
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 7: what we're gonna use against the Dolphins. This is what

978
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 7: we want to give Tua. Now we get to nick

979
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 7: those in that team and a little bit different type

980
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 7: of team. This is what we're going to do here.

981
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 7: And also and I got to give Chris Ballard and

982
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 7: him credit is they did a great job of changing

983
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 7: the complete way that we think of as our corners. Okay,

984
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 7: rather than worry about length for some reason length was

985
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 7: a big deal. Is that they've gone out and got

986
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 7: number one experienced guys that have proven it. But they've

987
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 7: got Manda man guys, smaller, quicker guys that can play

988
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 7: a lot of Man. Not that you're going to play

989
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 7: man every down, but when you have to in critical situations,

990
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 7: you can do it. And so going out and getting

991
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 7: a Ward, you know, going out and getting a terrific

992
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 7: free safety in buying them. Then right to the last

993
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 7: ten days of training camp, we bring in Howard, who's

994
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 7: a multiple pro bowler like Ward, and then we take Blackman,

995
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 7: who's a hell of a swing corner who can also

996
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 7: play the nickel. Some thing happens to Kenny, you know.

997
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 7: And you add that now with a guy like Cross

998
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 7: who really is emerging. He emerged last year. So I

999
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 7: think the combination of building this secondary with a type

1000
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 7: of player that you can play much more aggressive with,

1001
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 7: plus the complexity which then equals very very game specific

1002
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 7: game plans. You know, I can't wait and we can

1003
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 7: talk about it. I can't wait to see what he

1004
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 7: does against Denver because it's a very different team than

1005
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 7: this one.

1006
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 2: All right, that's Rick vent Terry here on the mail bag.

1007
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights is standing by as well. This one is

1008
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: Taylor made for you. Joseph Nicholas is asking again hashtag

1009
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: Colts round Table on X. He wonders, Hey, Joe, how

1010
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: did the new starters along the offensive line great?

1011
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 4: Out?

1012
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: Tanner Bordolini at center and Matt Gonzalveez got his first

1013
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: career start at right guard.

1014
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 4: I thought they played well and played winning football.

1015
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 6: I think for Bordolini running the operation, getting the right

1016
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 6: IDs in the run game and what you're going to

1017
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 6: do in pass protection, I thought he did a nice job.

1018
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 6: Gonzalvez is a road grader. I love that we pulled

1019
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 6: him a lot. You're pulling him on the trap plays

1020
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 6: and the counterplays and just getting that body when we

1021
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 6: run left behind Ryman and Nelson and you bring three

1022
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 6: thirty Gonzalvez around there pulling.

1023
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 4: That's pretty formidable right there.

1024
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 6: And I think something that they'll work on and improve

1025
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 6: is they did give up a little bit of leakage

1026
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 6: sometimes in the past game, especially with twists right teams

1027
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 6: you know are gonna twist those defensive linemen and try

1028
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 6: to you know, create space and create alleys to get

1029
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 6: after the quarterback. That's something that they'll work on to

1030
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 6: get to improve. But for their first start, you know,

1031
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 6: really together in there. Those two guys after losing, Kelly

1032
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 6: and Fries, I thought they did a really nice job

1033
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 6: and that was really positive to see, to go along

1034
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 6: with the other three Vets we got in the offensive line.

1035
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, that's the mailbag segment tonight with all

1036

1068
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: closing arguments as we wrap things up and look ahead

1069
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 2: to week number two. The Colts played as close to

1070
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 2: perfect as you can here in the modern day NFL.

1071
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: I've all controlled them. They didn't turn the football over.

1072
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: Defense was great with the three takeaways, and again those

1073
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 2: new faces the Colts picked up in the offseason shined

1074
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: very brightly. So what are your closing remarks for Sunday.

1075
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great win in the city of Indianapolis

1076
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 6: is celebrating today, but the coaches, the leaders in a

1077
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 6: locker room, that's where the message is, Hey, fellas, is

1078
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 6: just one win. We got sixteen other games and we

1079
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 6: have to have the same preparation and process that led

1080
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 6: us to play really, really well in Week one. And

1081
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 6: I think with Denver coming into town, there shouldn't be

1082
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 6: any extra motivation. That was a game last year that

1083
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 6: this team had and we kind of gave the game

1084
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 6: away to Denver and they end up being the playoffs

1085
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 6: instead of us. So I think a lot of motivation,

1086
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 6: a lot on the line against a formidable opponent and

1087
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 6: AFC opponent, somebody that may be there at the end

1088
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 6: of the season when you're talking about playoff situations. But coach,

1089
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 6: I know you've watched more film on the Broncos than me.

1090
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 6: So what are your early thoughts on Denver?

1091
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 7: Well in watching them and then you know, car carrying

1092
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 7: last season into yesterday, what you're facing in Denver is

1093
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 7: an elite defense. I mean elite. A lot of people

1094
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 7: think that they may be the best defense in the league.

1095
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 7: I'm not going to argue with that yet. I can't

1096
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 7: wait to see it live. You know, they ended up

1097
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 7: with six sacks yesterday. They didn't get up a touchdown

1098
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 7: even though their offense was struggling. They held Tennessee without

1099
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 7: a touchdown and they had six sacks. They've got a

1100
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,919
Speaker 7: bunch of front guys, great edge guys coming from all

1101
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 7: over their offense struggle. They got the running game. Actually,

1102
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 7: the running game bailed them out in the fourth quarter.

1103
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 7: And there is a you know, Nix is one of

1104
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 7: those guys that you know he has some elite skills.

1105
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 7: The Knicks to Sutton combination is dangerous. He is reckless

1106
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 7: with the ball. Though, if you remember Joe, you're talking

1107
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 7: about that game that we should have won. You know,

1108
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 7: he had three interceptions. He threw three to us and

1109
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 7: he threw two yesterday, so you know, we got to

1110
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 7: be ready, cranked up. You know, totally new game plan

1111
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 7: for both of these teams, and the biggest challenge is

1112
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 7: going to be moving the ball on that defense.

1113
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 4: I love it.

1114
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: That's quick scouting report on the Broncos from Rick vent

1115
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: Turre Denver victorious in week number one. They knocked off

1116
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: the Titan yesterday, so a little bit of help inside

1117
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: the division for the Colts. But it's all the time

1118
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: we've got tonight, Joe and Rick.

1119
