They beat the 49 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: Falcons thirty one twenty five in overtime in Week ten 50 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: in front of an enthusiastic and racous German crowd of 51 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand strong. The highlights of the game include 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: the Colts dominating time of possession and yardage, but not 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: being able to the finish off drives consistently. Throughout the 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: course of the day. The Colts had plenty of drives 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: that reached Falcons territory, but turnovers on downs, fumbles, and 56 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: missfield goals kept the Colts point total down for most 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: of the game. In the second half, the Colts relied 58 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: on Jonathan Taylor on the ground, and he delivered boy. 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: He rushed for an astonishing two hundred and forty four 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: yards on thirty two carries, three rushing touchdowns, the second 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: of which broke Hall of Famer Edgrin James Franchise record 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: for career rushing touchdowns, and the third of which won 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: the game for the Colts in overtime. So let's take 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: a look at Taylor's accomplishments one by one here in order. 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: He posted a career high and a franchise record two 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six scrimmage yards, as he also added 67 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: forty two yards receiving. His two hundred and forty four 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: rushing yards are the second most he's had in a 69 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: game and the second most in Colts history. On top 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: of setting the Colts career rushing touchdown mark, he also 71 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: now has seventeen scrimmage touchdowns this season, the most through 72 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: ten games by any NFL player since Todd Gurley in 73 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. He now has the most two hundred yard 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: rushing games in Colt's history with three, and with the 75 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: Monster Game on Sunday, he's now over one thousand rushing 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: yards already on the season. He's accomplished that for the 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: fourth time in his career, and Taylor's three touchdowns in 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: Germany marked his fifth game this season with at least 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: three scrimmage touchdowns. He becomes the fourth player in NFL 80 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: history with at least three touchdowns in five games in 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: a single season, joining Pro Football Hall of famers Ladanian, Tomlinson, 82 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: Marshall Falk and Chuck Foreman. There's plenty more, but you 83 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: get the idea, right, I mean, Jonathan Taylor's really stinking good. Elsewhere. 84 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Warren had a huge impact on the game as well. 85 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: He hauled in eight catches for ninety nine yards, both 86 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: career highs, and he had more than just a few 87 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: clutch catches in the fourth quarter, in and overtime. He 88 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: was instrumental in the Colts win. The Colts defense also 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: created a strip sack fumble recovery on the first Atlanta 90 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: drive of the game, and for the day, the Colts 91 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: held Michael Pennix Junior to a season low forty two 92 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: percent in the passing game, and the Falcons were zero 93 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: for eight on third down. So now the Colts head 94 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: into their bye week with an NFL best eight and 95 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: two record, a two and a half game lead over 96 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the five and four Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South, 97 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: and the eight wins for the Colts this year already 98 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: matches their win total from all of last season. So 99 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: seven games to go. But now the Colts get some 100 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: rest before they start the home stretch. All right, let's 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: get into the meat of our show now, Joining me 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: now in studio, as he always does on Monday nights. Here, 103 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: he settled in. He's in the booth. Head coach Shane Steichen, 104 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts with us, Coach, 105 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: what a win. What is your level of pride in 106 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: this group after finding a way to win in overtime 107 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: in Berlin after trailing late in the fourth quarter. 108 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: I mean our team has been great. 109 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 5: I mean the grittiness and the toughness they played with 110 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: to find a way there in overtime. It was a 111 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 5: back and forth game. I think Atlanta's a good football team. 112 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 5: They did some good things on offense and defense. 113 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: But our guys just kept. 114 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 5: Fighting and swinging and obviously when we had our opportunity 115 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 5: in overtime to get it done, we got it done. 116 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 5: Zaire came out big with the TfL and then the 117 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 5: sack on third down to get us the ball back, 118 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 5: and then you know, Daniel hitting Tyler Warren on the 119 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 5: you know, the sale route there was huge to get 120 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 5: us into range, and then JT finishing off with the 121 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: O line finishing the way we did. Just a tremendous 122 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 5: win by our football team, and obviously, like you said, 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 5: the atmosphere there was great. 124 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about that. We're going to talk about 125 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: that more in detail coming up. But as it relates 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: to the game, you said, the Falcons, especially on defense, 127 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: they battled their tails off, but you were still able 128 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: to score thirty one points on him. But it certainly 129 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: didn't come easy. Seven times you reached at least their 130 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: thirty five yard line, four times you reached the red zone. 131 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: But you know, things just kept popping up, a miss 132 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: field goal, to turnovers on downs, a loss fumble. How 133 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: tough was it to score and finish some of those 134 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: drives against that really good Falcons defense. 135 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, Like I said, I think credit to them, 136 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: they did a really good job. 137 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 5: And I think, you know, those are the you know, 138 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 5: we're gonna have games like that sometimes where you got 139 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 5: to overcome the adversity. And I thought our guys didn't 140 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 5: blink the whole game and bounce back and found away 141 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 5: there at the end. In all three phases, I thought 142 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 5: our kicking game was great, The special teams were awesome 143 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: getting the returns that we did, the defense, you know, 144 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 5: holding them to they didn't convert a third down. They 145 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: were zero for eight on third down, So it all 146 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 5: played in and everyone did their part to find a 147 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: way to win. 148 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, I thought Daniel Jones played pretty well. I mean, 149 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: I know the Falcons were making a concerted effort to 150 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: come after him and put pressure on him. He was 151 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: sacked seven times, but you know, within that he wisely 152 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: used his feet more than just a couple of times. 153 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Seven carries for fifty three yards. How did you see 154 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: him handle the pressure yesterday from Atlanta? And how important 155 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: is his mobility for the success of this offense based 156 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: on how most defenses want to play you. 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, no, it's big. 158 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: Anytime you know you can create the scrambl plays like 159 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 5: that when the pocket does get muddy is huge. I 160 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 5: mean the third and twenty one there at the end 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 5: of the game, to scramble and get nineteen yards and 162 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 5: get it to the fourth and two was one of 163 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 5: the biggest plays in the game. And I thought he 164 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 5: did a heck of a job of seeing the void 165 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: there when he stepped up in the pocket to go 166 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: get that done. So yeah, I thought he did some 167 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 5: really good things in that game. And obviously the game, 168 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 5: you know, the winning drive there in overtime, yeah, was huge. 169 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: I mean, just stay in the. 170 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 5: Pocket and delivered that ball in just a phenomenal catch 171 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: by Tyler and then, like I said, you know, finishing 172 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 5: off the right way running it to score. 173 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 174 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: I mean you talked about it after the game as well. 175 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you turn that offense over to the running 176 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: game in the second half, running to finish off the game. 177 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: Taylor rushes for over one hundred and seventy yards in 178 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: the second half. Why did you make it a point 179 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: there to feature the running game pass halftime a little 180 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: bit more? I mean, what was it about the Falcons 181 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: and the way they were playing you where you said, 182 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: all right, we're just gonna negate some of that pressure 183 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: and run the ball at him and see if it works. 184 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: And it certainly did. 185 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 5: I think you know, you kind of feel the game 187 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 5: as a play caller there. And I thought JT was 188 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 5: running hard. I thought our guys were blocking hard, and 189 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 5: we were getting the six seven yard runs and then 190 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 5: obviously we popped the big eighty three hard run there. Yeah, 191 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 5: and the fourth quarter was huge, and we just kept 192 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 5: chipping away at it and our guys up front were 193 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 5: blocking and JT was running his tail off and it 194 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 5: was it was fun to watch. 195 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: All right, obligatory. Jonathan Taylor questions here yesterday sets the 196 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: Colts record for career rushing touchdowns. He's got sixty six 197 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: in just six years. He went over seven thousand career 198 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: rushing yards. I mean, those numbers are just staggering. Leads 199 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, and rushing touchdowns leads the NFL and scrimmage touchdowns. 200 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: What was going through your mind when he's ripping off 201 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: that eighty three yard run? An epic score, but it's 202 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: also an epic record on his way to the end zone. 203 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: Were you able to put all those things into perspective 204 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: as he's doing it, watching it there in Berlin. 205 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 3: Not not not not what it was happening. 206 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 5: I mean, when you're on the sidelines and you see 207 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 5: him pop down the sidelines, I'm just running down the 208 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 5: sidelines with them saying. 209 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: Score, go score, go score, go go go. 210 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying there. And then obviously that's. 211 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Why you're so famous on NFL films. 212 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 5: And then and then but after the game, when you 213 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: look back at it and the numbers that he put up, 214 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: it's just been it's been so fun to be a 215 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 5: part of. To watch what he's doing right now, yeah, 216 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 5: and the Colts organization and our football team. The way 217 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 5: he's playing. I mean, it's it's really special. 218 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: Do you think people understand as it relates to Jonathan Taylor? 219 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Do you think they're on they understand what they're watching? 220 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 6: You know. 221 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: The reason why I asked that is because you know, 222 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: you're around him every day. Yeah, you know, I'm in 223 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: the minutia. I'm covering it every day and I'm comparing 224 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: him to all time greats and he's breaking all these 225 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: records and reaching these milestones. But do you think people 226 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: really understand just the greatness that we're seeing in the 227 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: present moment here. 228 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 5: If they don't understand, I think they need to start 229 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: to understanding. I mean, what he's doing right now is spectacular. 230 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: I mean he's creating history right now, which is awesome. 231 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 5: And when you're a part of it, you're in the moment, 232 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, You're in the moment, you're 233 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 5: watching it and it is special and you got to 234 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 5: embrace that. 235 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: You know. 236 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 5: Sometimes you look back and as you go through your 237 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 5: you know the history of NFL, and you see some 238 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 5: of these great runners that do what they do and 239 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 5: to be witness in it firsthand, and being a part 240 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 5: of it. 241 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 3: It's phenomenal, you know. 242 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: With his long runs, he's got this willingness. I don't 243 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: know if that's the right word, but he's got this 244 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: trust to cut it outside. Because of the belief that 245 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: he has on the perimeter, he's going to get great 246 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: blocks on the outside from guys like Tyler Warren and 247 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: Pierce and Pittman. I mean, those guys are just off 248 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: the charts for you in that regard. They were key 249 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: on that eighty three yard run. He saw the Pierce 250 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: block on the way to the end zone for Taylor 251 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: on that long touchdown run. How much credit should those guys, 252 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: those skill players get around Taylor for his greatness this season. 253 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's all encompassing. I mean, obviously it 254 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,479 Speaker 5: starts up front, but those perimeter blocks by the wideouts 255 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 5: out there, they're just as big, you know, because when 256 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 5: he does pop it on the perimeter, we need those 257 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 5: blocks on the outside to free those big runs. 258 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: And yeah, those guys, like. 259 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 5: You said, I have just been doing a phenomenal job for us, 260 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: you know, to break those home run runs. 261 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned Tyler Warren a little bit earlier. By 262 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: the way, Shane stiking with us here on Colts Round 263 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: Table live tonight, Tyler Warren ninety nine yards receiving. But 264 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: he was a beast on the ground, the great block 265 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: on the game winning touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor there 266 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: in the overtime. How impressed are you with his clutch ability? 267 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a rookie making these fourth down catches, 268 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: these fourth quarter catches and overtime over the shoulder grabs. 269 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, a rookie doesn't produce you know that fluently 270 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: if you will, this early on in the season, those 271 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: big time clutch moments. 272 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he showed up obviously when we needed him. 273 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 5: He's been showing up for us all year. But in 274 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 5: those clutch moments, that's big, and especially for a rookie, 275 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 5: you know, to put the ball in his hands in 276 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 5: those situations the fourth and two there, Yeah, obviously the 277 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: big catch, like we talked about earlier and overtime, the 278 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 5: way he was able to get his hands up over 279 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 5: that thing and reel it in and get both feet 280 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: down on the sideline was just tremendous. And those are 281 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 5: the type of plays you need, you know, from your 282 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: big time players. 283 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: And obviously being a rookie. He's one of our big 284 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: time players. 285 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: No doubt about it. All Right, last couple of questions 286 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: before I get into the fan questions, I do want 287 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: to ask you about the trip. 288 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: All right. 289 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: What was your impression of the energy in the stadium. 290 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it felt like it felt like a super 291 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: Bowl game. It felt like a playoff game. It was loud, 292 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: and everybody there. Shane was just happy to be there, 293 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: to be watching American football. 294 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. 295 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: It really was amazing to play in that stadium.

Obviously, first NFL game played over 305 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 5: there in that stadium was really historic and just you know, 306 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 5: very thankful and privilege, you know, to be a. 307 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: Part of that. 308 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: But those things aren't happening during time outs. I mean 309 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: they are, but they're also bleeding over to the game. 310 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: You're trying to call plays when people are singing John 311 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: denver Man, how tough is that seventy five thousand strong 312 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: with a chorus?

You know, Robinson's a 345 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 5: hell of a running back, and I thought our guys 346 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 5: did a really good job there. I think they had 347 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 5: I mean one twenty on the ground, you know, two 348 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: hundred and ninety yards a total offense, so to hold 349 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 5: you know, both those runners and the other runners a 350 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 5: hell of a runner too. 351 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: I thought I was er. 352 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought our d line did a real nice 353 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: job there. 354 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: All right. Daniel's up now he's asking how did Sauce 355 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: Gardner look to you in his first game? And how 356 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: much does he need the bye week to get further 357 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: up to speed with the defense? 358 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: You know, I thought he looked awesome. 359 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 5: He's a very intelligent player too, and so he came 360 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 5: in obviously learning the playbook, learned a lot, you know, 361 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 5: in a short amount of time, so it'll be good 362 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 5: have the buye to keep studying and studying. But watching 363 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 5: his first performance with us, you could just see the 364 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 5: stickiness and coverage. You know, he was all over it, 365 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 5: almost had a pick six there, jumped a route. Yeah, 366 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 5: I mean, he's just a tremendous talent. We're very fortunate 367 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 5: to have him on our team. 368 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: All right, this one coming from Randy. Last one here. 369 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: We've allowed twelve sacks in the last two games after 370 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: giving up just nine sacks in the first eight. I 371 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: know you talked about this earlier with the media, but 372 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: the question here is what are the biggest factors into 373 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: why we've seen our protection decrease recently. 374 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think every sack has a story, you know. 375 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: I think, you know, sometimes a guy does get beat 376 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 5: by other times, you know, it's the play call, Like 377 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 5: I got to do a better job of calling it 378 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 5: to put our guys in position so those don't happen, 379 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 5: you know. I Mean there's other times where you know, 380 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 5: Daniel scrambles out of the pocket and he runs one 381 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 5: yard behind the line of scrimmage and that counts as 382 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 5: a sack. 383 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: So all those things play into it. 384 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 5: But obviously we just got to get some things cleaned up, 385 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 5: and it starts with myself. 386 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: All Right, the bye week is here, and you still 387 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: have stuff to balance, right, even though there's no game, 388 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: there's still plenty to do. I think that's a little 389 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: bit of a misnomer out there. You've got a self scout, 390 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: you've got to get a leg up on the Chiefs, 391 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: but you also need to get away a little bit. 392 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: So what's the order in which you try to do 393 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: those things? 394 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: Self scout first, obviously locking in on that stuff, looking 395 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 5: at some tendencies, and then start looking at the Chiefs 396 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 5: a little bit, and then obviously try to you know, 397 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 5: spend some time with the family and get a little 398 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 5: bit of time with them before we start on Kansas 399 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 5: City next week. 400 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely, how much do you think the team needs the buy? 401 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 3: Right? 402 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: They're eight and two, they're off to a fantastic start. 403 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: I get that, but you guys have been at this 404 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: now NonStop since what July twenty fourth. 405 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's always good to, you know, get 406 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 5: off your feet for a little bit, get some time 407 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 5: away from it, and you know, guys got nis and 408 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 5: bruises and stuff. It gives them, you know, an extra 409 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 5: week to heal up and stuff. Obviously heading into a 410 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 5: big game against Kansas City. 411 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: All right, Shane Stiking with us on Colts Round Table Live.

And I think when you think 479 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 7: about the impact of Bjorn Werner, you think about Bernard 480 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 7: Ryman being from Austria. You know, it's interesting. I caught 481 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 7: up with Bernard after the game on the plane just 482 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 7: told him, Hey, I'm so happy for and he was 483 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 7: telling me about you know, he came to an International 484 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 7: Series game in London, you know when he was a 485 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 7: kid and kind of his love for the sport, which 486 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 7: I didn't realize. But you see how the NFL is 487 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 7: growing internationally. And again, Berlin was a great host. The 488 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 7: Colts did an unbelievable job just fan engagement, audio signings, 489 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 7: and you know Matt and coach, you know, they just 490 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 7: they just want to be a part of it. So 491 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 7: you're signing Browns jerseys and Packers jerseys and baseball jerseys 492 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 7: and NBA jerseys but it's just neat to see, you know, 493 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 7: how much they love and appreciate being there. And then 494 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 7: yesterday in Olympics Stadium, I mean that was just so 495 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 7: neat when you think about the history and everything that 496 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 7: was there, and the nineteen thirty six Olympics and Jesse 497 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 7: Owens and Nazi Germany and you know, Matt where we 498 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 7: were stationed was probably about ten fifteen feet above where 499 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: you know, Adolf Hitler's you know, kind of platform was 500 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 7: when he would take in those games. So I just 501 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 7: got chills walking into that stadium. And then for the fans, 502 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 7: it was a blast. And my wife, you know, she's 503 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 7: texted me during the game, She's like, are they cheering 504 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 7: for the Colts or the Falcons. I'm like, hey, babe, 505 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 7: they're just cheering for whoever. They're cheering for themselves, singing 506 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 7: Country Roads take Me Home. But the spectacle right of 507 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 7: you know, the American national anthem and the German national 508 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 7: anthem and the flags on the field, it felt to 509 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 7: me like somewhere in between a playoff game and a 510 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 7: Super Bowl tight feel. And I think anytime as a 511 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 7: player or coach you can get the chance to be 512 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 7: on the national stage it's something and you want to 513 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 7: show out, but then when you get a global Isaaco 514 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 7: on the international stage. So it was just an unbelievable 515 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 7: three days culminated with a fantastic football game. Very happy 516 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 7: for the players, coaches, and the entire Colts organization because 517 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 7: the Colts certainly did their part to spread the game well. 518 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 7: And after two wins in the last three years in Germany, 519 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 7: I think that country of Germany there's gonna be a 520 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 7: lot more Colts fans for generations to come. 521 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of blue all over the city of 522 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: Berlin all three days, you know, Friday, Saturday, and certainly 523 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday at Olympic Stadium. That's incredibly well said Joe, writes, 524 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: Rick van Turrey, you are the star of the postgame show. 525 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for filling in there with Bill Brooks 526 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: unable to do that show. He had to have presidence 527 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: obviously on the trip with the Colts in Germany. But 528 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: we certainly missed you overseas RV. But how did Sunday 529 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: go for you? Recapping the game in real time and 530 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: talk to the fans and celebrating eight wins for the 531 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: Colts out of their first ten games. 532 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 4: Well, it was great for me, great to work with Greg, 533 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 4: and really it was an honor to you know, to 534 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 4: touch base with the fans, which I really don't get 535 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: to do that much of. And obviously the result just 536 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 4: made it beautiful. And my view from here was what 537 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: an event. I mean, obviously I didn't have to go 538 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 4: through the pain of travel and preparedness that you guys did. 539 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: But when you watch that thing, it just it's almost 540 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: the impact that reminds you of a playoff game. It's 541 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: just absolutely crazy to see that. And of course I'm 542 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 4: of of the age, you know, I'm looking at eighty 543 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: and I was born in forty six, right after the 544 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: Second World War, so you know, we were brought up 545 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 4: with those visions and to see that German flag and 546 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: the American flag before the game, just I was taken 547 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 4: back by it, honestly, and just the buzz, the buzz 548 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 4: of the game, and obviously it couldn't have ended better 549 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 4: for us, but I just thought it was just so impactful. Yeah, 550 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: hard to express it, really. 551 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's something that I will 552 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: never forget. It was an electric atmosphere. It was so 553 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: energetic and so enthusiastic and so loud. Like you said, Joe, 554 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: they were cheering about everything. They were cheering about first 555 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: downs or third down stops, or fuel goals or second 556 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: and five. They brought the noise. All right, we got 557 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: a lot to get into tonight. Of course, coming up 558 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: on segment three, we've got the bye week meter. All right, 559 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: These are a few areas and instances to highlight for 560 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: the Colts, and we're going to discuss where they rank 561 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: on the bye week meter here, red, yellow, or green. 562 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: You get the idea which ones are positives and which 563 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: ones are negatives on that. So we'll take a look 564 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: at a couple of areas for the Colts now that 565 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: they have a week off here in week number eleven. 566 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: Then in segment four, we're taking your social media questions 567 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: on the mail bag. Hashtag Colts Roundtable is the best 568 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: way to do that. You can reach us on with 569 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: that hashtag. But on this segment we always let Rick 570 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: and Joe comment on their initial reactions from the game. 571 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: It's time for the Tale of the tape. 572 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: Baby raising hell today. 573 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 5: Okay, go fallas bang bang player bang bang, keep. 574 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 6: The hammer down, keep talking to one another, man to 575 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 6: clean it up. 576 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 3: That's all. 577 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 4: Get rdy, get righty. 578 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: The Colts are eight and two, still in first place 579 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: in the AFC South and the AFC heading into the 580 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: by They won a thrilling overtime game against the Falcons 581 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: in Berlin and Jonathan Taylor the star of the game, 582 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: rushing for two hundred and forty four yards, the second 583 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: highest total of his career, the second highest total in 584 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: Colts history. He also rushed for three touchdowns, including the 585 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: game winner. They are in overtime. Sunday, he passed Edrin 586 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 1: James for the most rushing touchdowns in team history. He 587 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: now has sixty six of them. And then the defense 588 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: held Michael Pennix to a season low forty two percent 589 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: and gave up just two hundred and ninety yards of 590 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: total offense to Atlanta. So, Joe, feel free to start 591 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: us off here, man, what is your tail of the tape? 592 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: After a win for the Colts in Germany. 593 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, my number one key going into the game 594 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 7: was whatever it takes. And these international games, for a 595 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 7: variety of reasons, matt often are very close. I think 596 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 7: they favor the underdog. They usually just seem to be 597 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 7: tight games. And you know, the game started out as 598 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 7: a track meeting. I mean they were the Falcons were 599 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 7: going fast and we were scoring two play drives and 600 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 7: it was boom, boom boom, and then it kind of 601 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 7: slowed to a lull, and I think Atlanta, you know, 602 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 7: they started heating us up a little bit. Obviously we'll 603 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 7: get into that pass protection wise, but you know, one 604 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 7: comment I had from watching it and talking to some players, 605 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 7: you know, the field because conditions are just different over there. 606 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 7: It wasn't raining, but with all the do there and 607 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 7: how overcast it was, it was wet. I think you 608 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 7: saw that with drop passes and just kind of some 609 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 7: loose ball security all around. But I really felt like 610 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 7: going into halftime when we came out and Atlanta you know, 611 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 7: sacked us again. Whatever team was playing downhill and what 612 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 7: I mean by running the ball hard downhill or when 613 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 7: they were blitz and they were bringing everybody and they 614 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 7: were just trying to collapse the pocket. But it's hard 615 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 7: on those field and those surfaces when you're wearing seven 616 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 7: stud cleats and things differently really to kind of secure 617 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 7: the pocket, if that makes sense, more so than playing 618 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 7: on your normal turf surface. But I love what Shane 619 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 7: Stiken did. He just said you know what, we're a 620 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 7: little unsettled offensively, We're gonna settle down and we're just 621 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 7: gonna start pounding JT. And boy did we do that. 622 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 7: And just like he always does, he goes, he goes, 623 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 7: he goes, and boom, you break the big one. And 624 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 7: that eighty three yard run was something certainly special, especially 625 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 7: when you think about breaking Edgerrin james franchise record. You know, Matt, 626 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 7: your your call was just unbelievable there and then but 627 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 7: we and then but the Falcons came down and they 628 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 7: raned on us and scored, and that field goal late 629 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 7: and I wanted to play I want to highlight third 630 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 7: and twenty one. After the sack, Joan scrambles from nineteen 631 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 7: yard gets it all the way back and that allows 632 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 7: that big completion to warn there to keep the game alive. 633 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 7: And and then you had the coin toss malfunction where 634 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 7: we call it we take the ball, no Atlanta, they 635 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 7: get a call it as a visiting team, they take 636 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 7: the ball. And then that pass interference which was bogus 637 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 7: on Mooney. You know, he just completely ran over blackmen. 638 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 7: They called it on us, but Zi H. Franklin really 639 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 7: stepped up and then we gave it to JT and 640 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 7: it was a beautiful thing to watch it just boom 641 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 7: boom boom for the walk off rushing touchdown. So all 642 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 7: in all, there's a lot of things to fix, but 643 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 7: I think in those games, whatever it takes to win. 644 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 7: But I think you really saw the Colts for a 645 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 7: lot of different I mean, offensively, as long as we 646 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 7: don't turn the ball over and we shore some things 647 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 7: up in protection, we're going to score thirty forty points 648 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 7: a game. And when you get into games like that, Matt, 649 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 7: this will be my last comment. December football. January football, 650 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 7: bad elements, tough weather, you're playing outside, having the offensive 651 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 7: line the Colts do, having the blockers and Pittman and Warren, 652 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 7: especially when Warren goes that fullback position, and then having 653 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 7: the premiere running back in the NFL like Jonathan Taylor. 654 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 7: That makes me really excited because that last couple drives 655 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 7: that was January football ish, if you know what I'm saying, 656 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 7: where the Falcons knew were running the ball and there 657 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 7: was nothing they could do to stop it. 658 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, Sunday and Berlin just reminded me of a lesson 659 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 4: that I learned back in nineteen eighty two as a 660 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 4: rookie NFL coach. And that is no matter at what 661 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 4: time you play the game or what continent you play 662 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 4: it on. It is so hard to win an NFL game, 663 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 4: you know, despite being substantially and statistically the better team, 664 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 4: Atlanta took us to the mat. They took us to 665 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 4: the last one hundred seconds of an upset. But in 666 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 4: that one hundred seconds and in that overtime, every single 667 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 4: aspect of this team showed its character, its ability to 668 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 4: pull victory from the jaws of defeat. You know, despite 669 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 4: our own self destruction with sacks, turnovers, penalties, poor third 670 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 4: down efficiency, crunch tang, the Colts prevailed. Jonathan continues his 671 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 4: historic season two forty four eighty two total. It's just 672 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 4: unbelievable what he's doing. In three tds, Warren was mister 673 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 4: clutch again between the two of them, almost four hundred 674 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 4: yards and you know again, and then Danny bloodied and 675 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 4: taken a beating that he took. You know, as you 676 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 4: guys have chronicled, the nineteen yard run saved the game 677 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 4: third and twenty one and we're not in field goal range. 678 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 4: That saved the game, no question about it. Special teams terrific. 679 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 4: You know, Dulan basically downs and then Abdullah the return 680 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 4: game set the table. Abdullah's run back to midfield, there 681 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 4: is no question, set the table and badually just even 682 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 4: though he was uneven when he had to put it through. 683 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 4: He did the defense which was which uneven all day long, 684 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: didn't stop the run, but they stopped Pannix in the overtime, 685 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 4: they shut him down. They had a really good day 686 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 4: on third down, and then in the final analysis we 687 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 4: rode jt As coach Lombardi would say, we ran to win. 688 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 4: You know, I think some things that I took out 689 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 4: of it because I don't think you could be in 690 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 4: a happiness camp. I think you savor the victory and 691 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 4: certainly savor the eight and two, but I think your 692 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 4: mind has to be on the big prize now, and 693 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 4: there's certain things that are good and certain things that 694 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 4: have to be fixed. I think number one the first 695 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 4: thing that stood out, and Joe alluded to it. I 696 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 4: felt consciously at eight fifty five in the third quarter 697 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 4: that Shane made the decision that we were shaky in 698 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 4: protection with Danny was shaky, and now it was time 699 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: to ride the big horse and basically, we rode Jonathan 700 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 4: and he turned it into bully ball, running the football. 701 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 4: If he needed to throw, he threw it to his 702 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 4: other ambient and Warren. But by and large, he took 703 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 4: over the game. He took over the front and I 704 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 4: thought that's a credit to him in terms of in 705 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 4: game field. You can have all the analytics in the world, 706 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 4: but at some point you have to have really good 707 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 4: in game feel and that shows his growth as a 708 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 4: head coach. Now, some things that I think you have 709 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 4: to address. I think this is the second game out 710 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 4: of three where we don't have a good sense of 711 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 4: urgency before the half. I thought we wasted time, and 712 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 4: even if you want to be the last guy out, 713 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 4: you don't do it early in the drive. You get 714 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,239 Speaker 4: down there and it's easy to stall when you get 715 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 4: in their territory. And you know, obviously we ended up 716 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 4: with a sack and an interception, but I thought we 717 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 4: started to drive lethargic, just like we did two weeks ago. 718 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 4: The one hundred and forty yards rushing on defense will 719 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 4: catch up to us. We've got to figure out, without Buckner, 720 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: how we're going to fix that. That can't continue. And 721 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 4: then the seven sacks on Sunday twelve in the last 722 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 4: two weeks. That is not winning, is not sustainable with that, 723 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 4: that has to change. We'll talk about as we go 724 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 4: on again. Enjoy and savor this great win and this 725 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 4: spectacle and the eight and two, but think big prize 726 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 4: and what improvements that you have to make. That's what 727 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 4: Dubai Week is for, right, You think improvements and you 728 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 4: got to take it. You got to think about it, 729 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 4: and you got to take it to get there. 730 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: All right, that's the tail of the tape with Rick 731 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: Venturrey and Joe Wrights.

On the last segment, 762 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: the fellas looked at the game film from week ten. 763 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: Now it's time to roll out a little bit of 764 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: a self scout evaluation before we begin to the bye week. 765 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: Meter I do want to ask you guys this question, 766 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: right because oftentimes teams talk about, hey, we're on the 767 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: by it's time to take a self scout during the bye. So, Joe, 768 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: what does this self scout consist of? Are they game 769 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: planning to play themselves hypothetically or are they self scouting 770 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: certain position groups, certain skill sets, tendencies. What does a 771 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: self scout look like for NFL teams on the buy 772 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: for sure? 773 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 7: And coach will talk to it as the coaching perspective. 774 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 7: As a player, you're going back and watching your individual technique. Okay, 775 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 7: where have I played well the first half of the season. 776 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 7: Where have I struggled as alignment? Where have I given 777 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 7: up a sack or a pressure or been loose? And 778 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 7: you watch those plays and is it my footwork? Is 779 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 7: it my hand placement? Because when you get going on 780 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 7: the hamster wheel, sometimes you get game slippage. In terms 781 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 7: of your individual technique. Players usually meet with your position coaches. 782 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 7: They'll give you a couple tips their thought. You'll watch 783 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 7: your own film. But it's a good way to evaluate 784 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 7: how can I get my individual technique better so I 785 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,439 Speaker 7: can best help the team. But coach, I know, self 786 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 7: scout usually is more coaching wise. So if you're Jim 787 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 7: Bob Cooter, lou An Roumo, what are those coaches doing 788 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 7: this week to prepare for the back half of the season. 789 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 4: Well, basically, self scouting is ongoing. You do a week 790 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 4: to week to week to week. If you're waiting till now, 791 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 4: you're probably in trouble. But normally that part of the 792 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 4: game is done by your defensive assistance and your offensive assistance. 793 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 4: You know, your lower ring guys who are really responsible 794 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 4: for those numbers, and what you see. What the bye 795 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 4: week gives you is a chance to sit down as 796 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 4: a staff now and it gives you an opportunity to 797 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 4: one evaluate your weaknesses. Where are we where are we struggling? 798 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 4: What is our predictability? I think that's a very important thing. 799 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 4: You know, are we blitzing all the time on third down? 800 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 4: What is our ten and see sheet as they look 801 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 4: at us. That's a big evaluation, you know, And then 802 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 4: obviously you come up with the solutions as you go forward, 803 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 4: you know, with all those things in mind, tendencies, weaknesses 804 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 4: and predictability tables. But at the same time you have 805 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 4: a chance to talk about what you're looking at in 806 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 4: this final eight weeks, you know, particularly teams like Kansas 807 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 4: City and Seattle, who are you know, top tier teams, 808 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 4: particularly Seattle who we don't know much about. So huge 809 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 4: week here. This used to be a bit of a 810 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 4: practice week also for our young players, but that's kind 811 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 4: of gone south. So you know, this is just a 812 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 4: time and this is an absolutely perfect thank god we 813 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 4: ended it with a win, but this is a perfect 814 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 4: time for a buye. 815 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. So that good little segue 816 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: there that brings us to the bye week meter here. 817 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: So ten games for the Colts eight and two start. 818 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 1: What I'm going to do is roll out a couple 819 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: of areas for the team now that we're on the 820 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: by and you fellas discuss if these areas need to 821 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: land in the green area, yellow or red area. Green 822 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 1: is good, yellow somewhere in the middle, and red means 823 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: it needs major addressing during the bye week. So let's 824 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: go rapid fire here. Let's go to Joe. You're first 825 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: up here talking about ball security. Okay, so through eight weeks, 826 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: the Colts had just one loss, fumble and three picks. 827 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: But Joe, after Sunday's game in Berlin, they've now committed 828 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: seven interceptions and four fumbles, nearly tripling the total over 829 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: just two weeks. So where does the Colt's ball security 830 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,800 Speaker 1: rank on the bye week meter? Joe, Red, yellow or green? 831 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 7: I'm going yellow, Matt. Now, two games is a trend, 832 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 7: and that's concerning. But I'm going yellow still because through 833 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 7: the first eight you protected it so well. But here's 834 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 7: the bottom line. Our offense is so efficient running the 835 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 7: ball and throwing the ball with Danny that turnovers is 836 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 7: really the only thing that's going to hamstring us. And 837 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 7: so we got to be tighter with the ball. And 838 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 7: whether that's protection, just individual guys, better ball, all security, 839 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 7: no throwing interceptions. If we take care of the ball, Matt, 840 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 7: we're gonna put up thirty game. We're gonna be really 841 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 7: hard to beat. So yellow for me on this one. 842 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to protection up front. On Sunday, 843 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: the Colts offensive line allowed seven sacks to the very 844 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: blitz happy Falcons. Daniel Jones, Now Rick Vanentury's been sacked 845 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: twelve times in the last two weeks in Pittsburgh and 846 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: in Berlin. Now, the difference in Week ten compared to 847 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: Week nine in Pittsburgh for Daniel Jones was his ability 848 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: to escape the pocket pick up yards with his legs. 849 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: He had seven carries for fifty three yards against the Falcons, 850 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: so that kind of kept the Colts on schedule a 851 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: little bit. But the Colts allowed nine sacks in the 852 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: first eight games, but twelve in the last two. Rick, 853 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: So where does the Colts' pass rush protection rank on 854 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: the bye week meter? For you? Is it red, yellow 855 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: or green? 856 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 4: Yeah? Now for me? For me, because of that disparity, 857 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 4: this is a writ this can't happen. This will cost 858 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 4: us where we want to go. And it's two different 859 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 4: types of issues. Week ago at Pittsburgh, it was simply 860 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 4: getting beat one on one on the edge. I think 861 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 4: both the staff and the and the offensive line underestimated 862 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 4: how good those edge guys were. And basically now that 863 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 4: they not only got three sacks, they had two turnovers 864 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 4: on strip sacks and those were all edge individuals. Those 865 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 4: were on the offensive line. This week it was on 866 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 4: the coordination between backs offensive lines, tight ends, and receivers. 867 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 4: This was a big blitz week. The blitz got us 868 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 4: several times. You know, basically, he was running for his life. 869 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 4: And the problem with this, the reason that I'm giving 870 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 4: it a red is I know Steve Spagnola very well. 871 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 4: I've worked with him, I mean he and this is 872 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 4: a copycat lead. Everything that's happened to you in the 873 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 4: last two weeks is going to be digested over and 874 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 4: over and you're going to get replays. So you either 875 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 4: fix it, particularly against Kansas City, or you die. 876 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: All right, bye week meter right there, that's great stuff. 877 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights. I'm Matt Taylor. Let's talk 878 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor. Okay, it's just a matter of how 879 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: green this is. Ten games on the season, he's over 880 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards. He's got fifteen rushing touchdowns. He's averaging 881 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen scrimmage yards per game for crying 882 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,399 Speaker 1: out loud, and six yards per touch. He's the first 883 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: running back this season to eclipse one thousand rushing yards. 884 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: It marks his fourth season over one thousand yards for 885 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: his career, and again past Egrin James for the most 886 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: rushing yards or I should say most rushing touchdowns. I 887 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: beg your pardon in club history. So again, Joe, where's 888 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor on the bye week meter? Is it green? 889 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: Is it neon green? Is it freshly mode grass in 890 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: the month of May? Green? How green is this meter? 891 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: For jat here at the bye week already over eleven 892 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground. 893 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 7: You can give me any green you want there, man, 894 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 7: I'm gonna go the color of money green though, because 895 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 7: he has been money. He has been the guy to 896 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 7: be counted on. In just a couple things about Taylor. 897 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 7: I mean, two thousand yard season certainly in play, and 898 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 7: he's also got two receiving touchdowns, so when you think 899 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 7: about seventeen total touchdowns, he's on pace for twenty nine 900 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 7: thirty touchdowns. You know, LT's got the all time season 901 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 7: record at thirty one. I think he said in six 902 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 7: or oh seven, and that's something a lot of people 903 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 7: thought would never be touched. But that's certainly in play too, 904 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 7: So you can give them any green you want on 905 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 7: that one. Matt, that's probably the easiest question you'll ever 906 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 7: ask me, and I appreciate easiness. 907 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: Of that question. I just put it on a team man, 908 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: like you're in t ball, Go ahead and whack it 909 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 1: over the fence there, all right, last one, Rick fin Terry, 910 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the rushing defense on the bye week 911 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,280 Speaker 1: meter here a right, the rushing defense. It's been pretty 912 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: stout all season, but it's going to be put to 913 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: the test over the next three games. It was on 914 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: Sunday and Berlin, but without DeForest Buckner now on ir 915 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: he's going to miss the next three games with a 916 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: neck injury. The Colts haven't allowed a one hundred yard 917 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: rushier all season. The Colts against the run at the 918 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: by green, yellow or red here. 919 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 4: Well without nor to me, it's ruby red. It is 920 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 4: as red as you could be. You've given me the 921 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 4: two things that I think are the most important fixes 922 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 4: for the Colts, both the you know, the offensive protection, 923 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 4: the sack issue, and the run defensive issue. I think 924 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 4: those are the two biggest things that you've got to 925 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 4: come up with a fix. 926 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 3: Here. 927 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 4: Over the weekend, one hundred and forty runs and they 928 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 4: just ran through us on that last drive. That drive 929 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 4: could have ended it for us. They just scored too fast. 930 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, but basically we are really 931 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 4: struggling like I was afraid we would. You know, I 932 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 4: give it to Loulu tried a lot of stuff. He 933 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 4: tried a lot of bear defense. But you know, I 934 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 4: think we've got to look at some different players and 935 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 4: some different things. I think number one, I think we 936 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 4: have to have more linebacker fires on first down because 937 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 4: those back those those defensive linemen other than Grover get washed. 938 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 4: And so I think you have to you have to 939 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 4: create the fill with inside fires and then bring Kenny 940 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,959 Speaker 4: off the edge and slant away so that you get 941 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 4: movement in there and penetration. Uh, because right now they're 942 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 4: just they're they're either dublin the three or running into 943 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 4: the bubble. And and honestly, uh, you know, I'm I'm 944 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 4: surprised that Atlanta really didn't come out and do that more. 945 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 4: I think Gallimore right now is a liability. I think 946 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 4: Addie is much better. Uh, but he's also the better 947 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 4: pass rusher, so you want him around for sub situations. 948 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 4: The other kid that I probably would take a look at, 949 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 4: and that's zat I. I I think Tua Meloa. I 950 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 4: think basically he's done a really good job moving him 951 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 4: inside on the pass rush. I mean he came around 952 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 4: on another on another tech stunt or another tom stunt 953 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 4: with the other tackle with Addie, and he came around 954 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 4: and you know, forced a big play. Uh uh there 955 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 4: early he forced the the roughing the passer penalty and 956 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 4: not roughing the pastor the intentional grounding. And so I 957 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 4: I just think he's kind of a physical kid. I 958 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 4: may run, I may try him a little bit at 959 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 4: the three some, you know, because I just think, you know, 960 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 4: between him and Addie, those are the two guys you're 961 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 4: left to play with. Yeah, and you got to help 962 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 4: them schematically, but they you know, they gotta they they've 963 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 4: got to get big because again copycat league that you know, 964 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 4: they're gonna come right at you. 965 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: All right, that's the rushing defense, Joe writes. Let's close 966 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: with you on the passing defense. They came into the game, 967 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: uh in week ten before they played the Falcons ranking 968 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: twenty sixth in the NFL against the pass. But on 969 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: Sunday they forced Michael Pennox into a season low forty 970 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: two percent completion percentage. And then coming out of the bye, 971 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: the Colts are gonna have, hopefully knock On Wood, a 972 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: healthy Tarvarius Ward and Sauce Gardner now in the secondary. 973 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: So where is the Colts passing defense on that by 974 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: week meter? For you, Joe Wrights, is it red, yellow 975 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: or green? With seven games to go? 976 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 7: I'm going yellow and we just got to get some 977 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 7: guys healthy. Ward comes back after the bye, and you 978 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,959 Speaker 7: saw what they were moving London around. They were trying 979 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 7: to motion him, get him in the slot. So he 980 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 7: was off of Gardner. But you think when he comes back, man, 981 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,799 Speaker 7: you think about him and Sauce and Ken anymore, who's 982 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 7: an elite nickel and buying him and crossing the secondary. 983 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 7: I would argue we could have the best secondary in 984 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 7: the NFL. Win healthy, and that sticky coverage is gonna 985 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,479 Speaker 7: help the pass rush get even better. So I'm really 986 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 7: excited to see about where our past defense is gonna go. 987 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 7: The yellow is just the caution to just get guys 988 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 7: healthy and keep them healthy. It was good to see 989 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 7: Jones continue to play yesterday, but that's gonna be something 990 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 7: because thing you think about, you're gonna play some of 991 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 7: these top quarterbacks in the playoffs in the AFC, and 992 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 7: you're gonna have to shut down their passing game if 993 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 7: you're gonna want to survive. 994 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 3: Move on in advance. 995 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: Good stuff right there, Joe Writs and Rick vent Urry 996 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: on the bye week meter after ten games for the 997 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, and that segment brought to you by Hotbox Pizza. 998 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 1: Now when the Colts score, so do you check out 999 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 1: your favorite hot Box location for fifty percent off your 1000 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: entire order.

All Right, Kyle is up first on 1025 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: his submission on X. He's wanting to know how legitimate 1026 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 1: of a deep playoff team are we after an eight 1027 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: and two start, Jill Wrights, what are the things that 1028 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: could potentially hold us back in January? 1029 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we are legit, and I think it's 1030 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 7: because we're playing complimentary football. The kicking game was outstanding 1031 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 7: yesterday with the returns. Offensively, we have so much balance 1032 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,919 Speaker 7: and like we saw, you have the ability to run 1033 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 7: the football when you need to and when other teams 1034 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 7: think that you need it. And we got to shore 1035 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 7: up some areas on defense. But you know, there's no 1036 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 7: reason the Colts can't make a deep run. What's interesting, 1037 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 7: Matt in the AFC, you know, preseason people would probably say, well, 1038 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 7: the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Bills, they're probably the three 1039 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 7: favorites on paper, right neither one of them is leading 1040 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 7: their division right now, you know, the Patriots are up 1041 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 7: there and the Broncos. And so my point is these 1042 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 7: last seven games, every win is so important because there's 1043 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 7: a big difference in being the one seed or the 1044 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 7: two seed or the four, the five in terms of 1045 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 7: getting more of those games at Lucas Oil where we're 1046 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 7: playing really well in front of our fans. So it's 1047 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 7: going to be exciting spring here to the finish, and 1048 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 7: no bigger one and no greater tests than to go 1049 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,959 Speaker 7: into Kansas City coming off that box. 1050 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a huge game after some rest 1051 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: time for the Colts. All right, let's go to Cordon 1052 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: got time for one more here. Let's go to his 1053 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: question for Rick finn Terry. He's asking, Hey, Rick, do 1054 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: you think our pass rush is good enough to sustain 1055 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 1: without DeForest Buckner for the next couple of weeks. So 1056 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: we talked about Buckner's absence against the run, but what 1057 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: about the pass Because you could argue from a consistency standpoint, 1058 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: I should say DeForest Buckner has been the Colts' best 1059 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: pass rusher despite him playing defensive tackle, not defensive end. 1060 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, I mean, great, great comment, in an accurate comment. 1061 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 4: You know, there's no question about you know, we lost 1062 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,240 Speaker 4: our best pass rusher and we took a big hit period. 1063 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 4: But to me, first down is more of a concern 1064 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 4: because that's an known down. You don't know if it's 1065 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 4: pass or run, so you have to play I won't 1066 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 4: say vanilla, but you have to play straight up up 1067 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,720 Speaker 4: in a lot of different situations, and sometimes you can't 1068 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 4: do a hell of a lot right there. Now, I 1069 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 4: think some things are gonna help us, and I think 1070 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 4: the pass rush is sustainable. And the reason I say that, 1071 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 4: I think when we go to Kansas City, we're gonna 1072 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 4: end up, all things being right, we're gonna end up 1073 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 4: with Ward, We're gonna end up with Sauce, and we're 1074 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 4: gonna end up with Kenny at corner and two good safeties. 1075 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 4: We're gonna end up with a shutdown secondary that can 1076 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 4: play a ton of man and that can buy some time. 1077 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 4: I think the other thing is, you know, I think 1078 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 4: we're coming up with a better combination. You know, you 1079 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 4: get a lot too up that one edge, pay turn 1080 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 4: it loose on the other edge, and then you're playing 1081 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,760 Speaker 4: with Addie and JT inside, and I like those two guys. 1082 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 4: I think those guys are really improving. You watch them 1083 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 4: run the stunt, and I think JT is really effective 1084 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 4: inside much more than outside right now. And the other 1085 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 4: thing that's really important. I used to tell my guys 1086 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 4: all the time, if you get me to third and seven, 1087 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 4: meaning you play really good on first down, like Joe's 1088 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 4: talking about, you get me to third and seven, I 1089 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 4: will get you off the field with scheme. And Lou 1090 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 4: did that yesterday. He was really creative. He had everybody up. 1091 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 4: He was playing that eight man up. You know, the 1092 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 4: first time he blitzes, he gets a strip sack with 1093 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 4: buying him, and then a lot of the game it's 1094 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 4: blitz one, it's dropped, it's bluff and schematically he shout 1095 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 4: him out. I mean they were zero for eight on 1096 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 4: third down. Matter of fact, one of the most interesting 1097 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 4: things at the end of three quarters, neither team had 1098 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 4: made a third down conversion. That is unbelievable. But at 1099 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 4: the end of the day, they were zero for eight 1100 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 4: on third down, including the overtime that stopped him. And 1101 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 4: to me, what that shows you is, if we can 1102 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 4: get that tight secondary, you can be a lot more 1103 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 4: creative in what I call the known down, which is 1104 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 4: third and seven plus you create that for lou I 1105 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 4: guarantee you he's going to get you off the field. 1106 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: All right, it's the mailbag segment right there with Rick 1107 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Venturi and right part of Colts Round Table Live Tonight. 1108 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: That segment also brought to you by McDonald's. The Colts 1109 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns yesterday in Germany. That means you can 1110 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: grab a free ten piece of Big Nuggets for the 1111 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: upcoming week with a two dollars minimum purchase only inside 1112 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: the McDonald's app. All right, we're kind of up against it. 1113 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 1: We got to go quick. When we come back, we'll 1114 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: wrap up the show and also talk with Rick Venturi 1115 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: and Joe Wrights about an eight and two start for 1116 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: the Colts.

And secondly, tell me the most enjoyable parts 1138 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: for you so far of this cult season after an 1139 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: eight and two start after the first ten games. 1140 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 7: Yeah for me. We'll shift in basketball here with the kids, 1141 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 7: so their football season's over and so getting on the hardwood. 1142 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 7: And you know, the first day a high school practice 1143 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,800 Speaker 7: starts tonight, so it's fitting. The snow's on the ground 1144 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,919 Speaker 7: and you got some hints of winter here, so it'll 1145 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,919 Speaker 7: be some hoop season for us at the Rights House. 1146 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,359 Speaker 7: But for me, Matt, to think about this team, you're 1147 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 7: the number one seed in the AFC if it ended 1148 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 7: right now going into the bye week, which is awesome. 1149 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 7: You've put yourself in a position to have a really 1150 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 7: special season. But that's my message is let's not be 1151 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 7: satisfied with being eight and two. Let's really look hard 1152 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 7: at ourselves. Get back in the building Monday. You've got 1153 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 7: a great opponent coming up in Kansas City, and you've 1154 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 7: got the chance to go on the road against a 1155 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 7: team that everybody's expecting. Why not then go back to 1156 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 7: the Super Bowl and really make another statement. So that's 1157 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 7: awful exciting. But coach, I know the Chiefs record isn't great, 1158 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 7: but they've been playing much better as of late. How 1159 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 7: tough a game is that going to be? And what's 1160 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,479 Speaker 7: your early scout on KC? 1161 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm I'm with you.
