Speaker 1: and eight last year, the Houston Texans were four and thirteen.

Speaker 1: and February without football, no stretch between now and the

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: new year. We will not have more than two days

00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: without an NFL game. So you got basically Tuesday and Wednesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday,

Speaker 1: you got college football, Friday, you got high school football.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: So I see what you mean there. Let's let's say Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and hey we get into little maction. Yeah here, since

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: we live in the Eastern time zone, I just don't

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: sleep you and you're you gotta stop, you gotta I

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: don't like you. Gotta give that one up. It's it's coming,

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: it's here. It's not going anywhere. Oh I wish it were. Yeah,

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: you gotta give that one. You could go central. That's yeah,

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: it's the only thing. All right. I'm with you. All Right.

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: We do have football tonight, We've got football on Sunday.

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: Rams and Bills tonight, Colts and Texans Sunday. Let's talk

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, we we mentioned briefly that eight

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: game losing streak. Obviously it's fuel to the fire. Um,

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: but but how are they consumed with it this week

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: in terms of using it as motivation but not letting

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: it be paralysis by a now in that they've heard

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: about it four thousand times between the end of last

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: offseason and this season. I don't even think it's fuel

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: because for so many the guys on this team, it's

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: not relevant. It's not relevant to Matt Ryan, it's not

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: relevant to ste find Gilmour, Unique and Gockway, Alec Pierce.

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, these guys who are new on this team.

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. And no one on this team has

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: lost eight straight openers. You know that there's not a

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: guy in this team who now, guys like Ryan Kelly

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: who've been here for a little longer have not won

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: an opener, and that it probably is maybe a little

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: more motivating to those guys. So this is this is

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: one game. It's against the Houston Texans, and the biggest

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: motivation is that it is a divisional game to open

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: the season. It's not we got to right the wrongs

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: of the past, it's we got to win this game

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: because it's a divisional game. And that's where it comes from.

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: In terms of readiness. I wrote about this on Colts

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: dot Com this week. Mayte that because the Colts had

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: such a heightened sense of urgency during training camp, like

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: from day one of training camp, these guys were on

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: it in terms of practicing hard and not wasting any time.

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: They don't have to flip a switch. I was talking

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: to Zayre Franklin about this during the week and I

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: was like, you know, could it be the case sometimes

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: that you get to you get to week one and

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, man, like we really got to turn

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: it on because it kind of dipped a little bit

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: during training camp. And he said, you know, that's not

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: the case with this team. It never dipped during walkthroughs,

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: during practices, during meetings. The energy, the engagement was always

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: at a really good level, and that sets this team

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: up very well for week one in the start of

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, I would even say that there was

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: a heightened you know, intensity about the offseason workout program

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: really since guys reported back in April and May getting

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: ready for you know, the lead into training camp, and

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: obviously that would evolve into the lead in for the

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: start of the season. Let's talk about this game. Last year,

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: the Texans, they had the worst defense in the NFL

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: in terms of stopping the run. Jonathan Taylor in two

80
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: games had two hundred and eighty eight rushing yards against

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: the Texans. In fact, in the last game against the

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Texans to that second meeting in December of last year.

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had more rushing yards than the Texans had

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: total yards in that game, just complete domination by the Colts.

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: They won thirty one to nothing in a game that

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: wasn't even that close. Rebuilt a tad Texans defense. They've

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: got a new secondary. The front seven looks pretty formidable.

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: Are the Texans capable of slowing down Jonathan Taylor to

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: a reasonable degree in this game? Yeah, they're capable. They're

90
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: an NFL team, And you know you mentioned that front

91
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: seven guys like you know, Gruger Hill, the linebacker, you

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: know some of their ads, you know their edge defenders

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Grennard, Jerry Hughes as a veteran who has

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: been around for a while. MALIEK. Collins at defensive tackles

95
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: a solid player. So there's there's not like a complete

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: lack of talent on this Houston Texans team. Having said that,

97
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: I think the Colts feel pretty good about where their

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: run game is at. Even though Jonathan Taylor hasn't played

99
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: a game since, you know, the end of last season.

100
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: The offensive line played in practice together pretty much as

101
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: a whole for the vast majority of training camp really

102
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: until that last week when Ryan Kelly miss some time

103
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: with COVID. That really portends itself well for the offensive

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: line getting off to a strong start to the season

105
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: because last year, remember the line struggled a bit early

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: on until they kind of found their groove maybe later

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: in the season, and that line was not there was

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: no continuity in training camp with that line. There was

109
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: one guy who practiced every day and it was Mark Lewinsky,

110
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: the right guard, so he ain't here and he's not here.

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: This year, all five guys on that line took part

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: in all but two training camp practices. So that's a

113
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: really good sign again for the Colts being able to

114
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: get out to a strong start, especially upfront. All right,

115
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: let's talk about the rest of that injury report. Colts

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: practice again today, by the way, that's JJ Stankovitz. I'm

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor here on the Colts Dally update on ninety

118
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: three five and one seven five the Fan. Another pretty

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: clean injury report for the Colts today, just like yesterday,

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: which is drastically different from this time last year when

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the Colts are going into week number one, I think

122
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: on Friday leading into the game, they ruled out three guys,

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: had a handful more questionable. It's the exact opposite in

124
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: a good way this year. Yeah, you know, Shaquille Leonard

125
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was limited today.

126
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: The real thing is going to be what his game

127
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: status will be on Friday. If I had to guess,

128
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: you're probably questionable. And it sounds like the Colts to

129
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: kind of take this thing down to that ninety minute

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: mark before kickoff when you have to announce your inactives,

131
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: and you know there is the possibility too that Shaquille

132
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Leonard could be on a snap count in this game.

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: Frank Reich sort of floated that idea, you know, not

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of fully formed earlier in the week. Shaquille, what

135
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: do you make of that? I mean, is that is

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: that something that is in the best interest of the

137
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: team with him being out there? I mean, you always

138
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: want to get Shaquille Leonard on the field if you can,

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: but you also need to be smart about it that

140
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to push him into doing something that

141
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: could because you still got sixty games. It's a long season,

142
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and you want to make sure that he is he

143
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: is going to be healthy, and he is the best

144
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: chance of being healthy for the entire season. Having said that,

145
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: if there is an opportunity to get him on the

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: field where you say, all right, you know, maybe maybe

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: you're you're out here for these ten to fifteen plays,

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I think you do that because he's one of the

149
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: best linebackers in the NFL. And you know, Shiquille was

150
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: asked today like are you okay with that? And he said,

151
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm if I'm gonna go, I want

152
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: to go. But with also kind of the caveat that

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: he's going to do it's in the best interest of

154
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the team and what the coaches and trainers recommend for it.

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just say, I mean Frank floated this

156
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: out earlier in the week that let's just say he's

157
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: eighty percent. If you get to eighty percent, that's good

158
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: enough to kind of find a way to go out

159
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: and play winning football. I guarantee you he's played a

160
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: lot of games and played at a high level and

161
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: made a big impact playing at eighty percent or maybe

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: sometimes lowering what he's been for he said today he

163
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: probably was below. Yeah, I mean that that's the issue

164
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: was last year, you get you get in some of

165
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: those games he was below eighty percent and he's still

166
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: for state fumbles. Sure like this, I mean, he's he's

167
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: a remarkable It wasn't just last year as well, right,

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: it is dating back to his rookie year. So he

169
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: said his body feels better than it has in a

170
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: really long time. He still is working through some stiffness

171
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: that comes with again, you know, getting back out there

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: on the practice field. So we'll see where this is at.

173
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: But I do think probably, you know, keep an eye

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: on again the injury report and the game status on Friday,

175
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: and then inactives when those come out on Sunday. This

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: is the Colts Daily Update. JJ Stangovitz. I'm Matt Taylor.

177
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: All right, finally another storyline going into this game. The

178
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Cults are going to start two rookies, one on offense,

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: the other on defense. Alec Pierce, a receiver. Nick Cross

180
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: will start at age twenty one and one day. Pretty

181
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: cool story one. What are your expectations for those two

182
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: guys playing big roles in the bright lights? The Cults

183
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: are asking a lot of them right away. Yeah, you know,

184
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: as it relates to both those guys, I don't think

185
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: you're super worried about the moment being too big for them.

186
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Nick Cross came in his first training camp practice. On

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: the first play of seven on seven, he picked off

188
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Alec Pierce played in the College Football Playoff

189
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: last year with Cincinnati, and those two guys have It's

190
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: been so cool to watch them ascend during training camp

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: where you know, you kind of you know, for Alec,

192
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: it started off a little bit slow, like Reggie Wayne

193
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: equated it to, like you're kind of ironing out some

194
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: of the wrinkles. But then when those got ironed out,

195
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: you started to see Alec Pierce, that trend went up,

196
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: and it went up in a really high way. For

197
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Nick Cross, he started out really strong, and then Gus

198
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Bradley really he challenged him before that first preseason game

199
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: that week and hey, you need to really focus in

200
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: this week and really keep that strong. Gus Bradley said,

201
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: he did that. He goes out in that preseason game

202
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, has a fantastic game, keeps that going and

203
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: that same level of focus going for the rest of

204
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: training camp. Those two guys, I think you expect really

205
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: big things out of them this year, starting with this

206
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: game and then the other guy I want to throw

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: in there is Gilanni Woods, who after the injury to

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Drew Ogletree, you really started to see Gilanni takeoff too.

209
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: He started to getting more comfortable right exactly. And you're

210
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: seeing the work he got in with Matt Ryan, you know,

211
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: some of the detail that they're getting down that dude,

212
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, sixty seven a red zone weapon. You know,

213
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: even though he may not be a starter on the

214
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: depth chart, he will probably play a pretty significant role

215
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: this year. Indeed. JJ Stangovitz from Colts dot com The

216
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Coults Marble at, what are you writing about this weekend? So?

217
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I got a pretty cool story up on Colts dot

218
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: com right now. I just published a Thursday I talked

219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: to the Colts four Atlanta area natives about growing up

220
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan as their hero and got some really

221
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: interesting stories in there. Matt Ryan spoke at Dion Jackson's

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: high school graduation. Gilanni Woods owned Matt Ryan Jersey growing

223
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: up and as a quarterback in the Atlanta area, just

224
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: idolized the guy. But that you know, then you talk

225
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: to these guys about this guy's your childhood hero, and

226
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: now it's like, but okay, hold on a second. You

227

229
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: on that, you know, guys like Rodrigo Blankenship and Brandon

230
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: Fayson who's from the area too, was a really interesting story.

231
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed going and talking to it, talking to

232
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: those guys about it. Just another way to think about

233
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: how the Colts are viewing. Matt Ryan and of his

234
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,840
