1 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Well, Welcome in to Instant and Reaction in Indianapolis Colts podcast. 2 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm Casey Value, joined by Colts Ring of Honor wide 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: receiver Bill Brooks, and we are reacting to yet another 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Colts victory. They go on the road this time and 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: they defeat the Tennessee Titans forty one to twenty inside 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Bill three to zero for the 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: first time since two thousand and nine. Still yet to 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: commit a turnover, they have just one punt man. This 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Colts team, they're doing just about everything we could possibly 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: have imagined. Through three games. 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: They're doing everything they need to do to win football games. 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: They're creating turnovers, not turn over the ball, being efficient 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: on offense, putting presher on quarterbacks. From a defensive standpoint, 14 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: what more can you ask for me? They're playing well, 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: that's what you want. You have a quarterback that's taking 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: care of the football, pulling the football into the playmakers' 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: hands and then make them play. And the guys that 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: you expect to make big plays are making the big plays. 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: And that's what you want from a team. And it's 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: exciting to watch this team play each and every week. 21 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: And I'm always excited for the game to start because 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: you never know what's going to happen. But I'm excited 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: to see what the Colts have planned for that game, 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: and usually the game plans pretty good, pretty interesting, So 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: hopefully that will continue moving forward. 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely well through three games, according to our team writer Jjsankovit, 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: so if he says it, that means it has to 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: be true. The Colts have scored one hundred and three points. 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: That's the most by a Colts team since nineteen sixty seven. 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: So think about how good the Indianapolis era Colts have been. 31 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: When you think about Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. This 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: team is doing something that we have not seen in 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis era when it comes to efficiency on offense, 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: it's been pretty impressive. Like I said, it's been about 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: as perfect as you could have imagined it through three games. 36 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: But like I said, we're gonna talk about this entire performance. 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: I light a handful of things, but I think starting 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: off this week. Last week we started with Daniel Jones, 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: and arguably we could start there again, but I just 40 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: want to switch it up, just for a little variance, 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: if you don't mind. I want to start with Jonathan 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: Taylor this week. Three rushing touchdowns today, including that beautiful 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: forty six yard run where he went to the house 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: up the middle. I think I counted four tackles he 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: broke along the way. He came into the game on 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: Sunday as the NFL's leader in rushing yards and scrimmage yards. 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: He added one hundred and two on the ground today. 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: It was his fourth career game with it at least 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns. You know, people thought that they had 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: passed Jonathan Taylor's prime. I think you need to pump 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: the brakes a little bit. I think we're still in 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: the heart of that prime of Jonathan Taylor. 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: He looks very fresh. He looks like he's ready to go. 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: Looks like he's ready to go for you many years 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: to come. How he's playing out there, playing hard, playing aggressive, 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: playing fast, and it looks like he does not get tired. 57 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: You know, he. 58 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: Plays the game very hard and makes those big plays 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: for the team. And what I like about him, you know, 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: he keeps on playing and plugging and plugging and plugging. 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: He might not get that big run early on, but 62 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: then eventually he makes that big run Like he made 63 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: that forty plus yard run today, the big yards, the 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: big plays to kind of break the team's back, to 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: defeat the defense, to make them say, hey, look, you 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: know what, this guy is getting better as the game 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: goes on. He's getting stronger as the game goes on. 68 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: And that's just a big benefit for the offense because 69 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: when you have a back like that that can change 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: the game on one play, it makes it very difficult 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: for the defense to kind of game plan around who 72 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: they're going to stop because the coach right now are 73 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: spreading the ball around to a lot of different people. 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: You got the running back, and you got the wide 75 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: receivers that he's getting the ball to. But Jonathan Taylor's 76 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: just doing a nice job. But not just in the 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: run game as well. He's doing a nice job, I 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: should say, not just in the run game. He's doing 79 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: a nice job and the blitz pickups as well. He's 80 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: doing a nice job catching the ball on the backfield. 81 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: So he's doing it all and that's what you want 82 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: from a back. You want a back that can go 83 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: out there and play all three downs. He can catch 84 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: the ball of the backfield. He could run the ball 85 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: on first or second down, but he also can be 86 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: a pass protector for the quarterback if he has to 87 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: go back and pass the ball downfield. So give Jonathan 88 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: Taylor a lot of credit for what he's doing out 89 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: there in the football field, being aggressive, running hard and 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: getting his pads low and then running behind the offensive line. 91 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 2: Give the offense line a lot of credit because they're 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: making the holes for Jonathan Taylor, and they're also doing 93 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: a good job pass protecting for Daniel Jones. 94 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Now, absolutely, I want to bring up the offensive line 95 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: in just a second, but I want to touch on 96 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: one more thing with Jonathan Taylor. We talked about it 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: in our local pregame show bill about the amount of 98 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: carries that Jonathan Taylor had to this point today he 99 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: made the most out of just seventeen carries. Now, part 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: of it was because of the game, you were able 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: to kind of spread the wealth a little bit and 102 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: give him a little bit of a break. But how 103 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: beneficial is that just seventeen carries, still going over one 104 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: hundred yards, not missing anything offensively. But in some ways 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: you're able to kind of give him a little bit 106 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: of rest, give those legs some rest as you look 107 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: forward to what this team is hoping to do. Especially, 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: you know at three and zero, you're looking at this 109 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: team being a playoff caliber kind of team. You want 110 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor fresh for the end of the season. So 111 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: being able to sprinkle in some of these games where 112 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: it's just seventeen carries, that's a really good thing for 113 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: this offense. 114 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: Exactly. 115 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: It's a very good thing when you get you're running back, 116 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: your your bellcow can go out there and play and 117 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: make some big plays and decisive plays in the game, 118 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: and he does not have to have a lot of carries, 119 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: a lot of wear and tear on his legs. That's 120 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: just a plus for at the end of the season 121 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: when you might need him to you know, hopefully secure 122 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: a playoff spot or when you're in the playoffs. You 123 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: have a guy that's fresh, he's ready to go, a 124 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: guy that has taken care of himself all through training camp. 125 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: He hopefully will take care of himself, which I believe 126 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: he will and he always does. He has done it 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 2: in the past, take care of himself during the season. 128 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: So at the end of the season he is fresh. 129 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: At the end of those games, he is fresh, so 130 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: he could make those big plays, and that's what you 131 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: want hopefully you don't, you know, have to use him 132 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: a whole lot, and usually that starts with being aggressive 133 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: early in the game, making the big players earlier in 134 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: the game. 135 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: But the way they. 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: Use Jonathan Taylor today, as you say, not alive carries 137 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: that way. He didn't have to run the ball a 138 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: whole lot and you wear him out early in the season. 139 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: That's a big plus for this offense. You want a 140 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: fresh team at the end of the season, and having 141 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: the fresh Jonathan Taylor will only be a bonus for 142 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: this team. 143 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, And in that running game, we did see 144 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Goodson make his season debut today. He missed the 145 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: first two games with an elbow injur that is suffered 146 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: there late in the preseason. So it was good to 147 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: see Tyler Goodson back on the on the on the 148 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: field for the Colts, especially what he adds from a 149 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: special team standpoint. He is one of the key pieces 150 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: on the special teams, but also being able to be 151 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: a guy that can you know, sub in and give 152 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor a rest here or there. I want to 153 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: dive into Daniel Jones, but I really do want to 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: go back with what you talked about with the offensive line. 155 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: You know, they I don't think are getting nearly the 156 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: credit they deserve because of you know, not only just 157 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: you know that in the run game they're giving Jonathan 158 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Taylor some great holes, but also yet another clean game 159 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: from a sack perspective. In the passing game, they're keeping 160 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: the pocket clean. Daniel Jones is being able to, you know, 161 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: effectively work through his progressions and run the offense like 162 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: it's supposed to. Because of how well this offensive line 163 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: has played, you got to give them a lot of credit. 164 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Casey, And going back to what you said earlier, 165 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: the offensive line never gets any credit, you know, all 166 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: the time, all the time you talk about the offensive line, 167 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: and if there's a penalty, a holding or something like 168 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: that they've done, or they man downfield or something like that, 169 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: but they hoighly ever get any credit. But give those 170 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: guys some credit. They are doing a nice job of 171 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: protecting Daniel Jones. Yes, Daniel Jones did have to do 172 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: some scrambling today, but you know what, his legs got 173 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: him out of trouble. He made some positive plays out 174 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: of some players that you know went a little rye 175 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: out there in the field today. But you know, that's 176 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: part of the NFL. That's part of the game. That's 177 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: the quarterbacks have to do. They have to make sure 178 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: they can scramble move around the pocket to avoid some 179 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: of those those hits and tackles and being sacked. But 180 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: give it off the line credit for doing a good 181 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: job of not only protecting Daniel Jones, but also open 182 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 2: up the hose for Jonathan Taylor, because without those guys 183 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: up front, you can't run the ball, and running the 184 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: ball is very important to this offense. And then of 185 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: course you can't protect, can't keep people out of the backfield. 186 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: And when Dan Jones just try to throw and have 187 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: people in his face, it's not gonna be an effective 188 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: passing game. So give those guys a front credit. They 189 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: don't get any credit. They'll only get noticed when they 190 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: make a mistake. So give them credit right now as 191 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 2: they're doing a good job for the Indianapolis Colts. 192 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: Now sticking there with the credit that I'm sure that 193 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is giving them all the credit, because that's 194 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: kind of the guy that we have become accustomed to 195 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: in Daniel Jones. He doesn't want to take any of 196 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: the you know, the gratification He is ready to praise 197 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: everybody else, but yet another solid game. So I'm gonna 198 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: give Daniel Jones his flowers. Seventy two percent completion again today, 199 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight passing yards, another touchdown. He 200 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: just looks so incredibly comfortable inside this offense. I mean, 201 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: it's been one of those things. Are you surprised? And 202 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: how comfortable he looks through three games? It looks like 203 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: he's been inside this offense for multiple years. 204 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by his demeanor, because he was that 205 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: way when he came into the building I first got here. 206 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: But I'm surprised the way he has the command of 207 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: the offense already just being here a few months, having 208 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: a command of the offense, knowing where to go with 209 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: the ball, knowing what plays to call when maybe the 210 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: first play that he had or he got in from 211 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: the sideline might not have been the best play against 212 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: a certain defense. Being able to change the play, being 213 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: able to change the protection and do it, you know, 214 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: relatively easy and comfortable out there. 215 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: So I am surprised about that. 216 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: But when he's out there, he looks calm, cool and collected, 217 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: and as a player, another player out there, you like 218 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: to see that in your quarterback. Your quarterbacks out there, 219 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: he has to make decisions, he has to make some 220 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: important decisions out there. 221 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 3: You want someone that's calm, cool. 222 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: And can make a good decision with all the information 223 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: he's gathering at that moment for a split second, make 224 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: a good decision so they can put you in the 225 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: right play to be successful. So I'm happy that he's 226 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: doing that. It's good for the team. And that's just 227 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. I mean, you know, he's he's little, literally 228 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 2: has a little vanilla ice in him. 229 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: So he's I say vanilla ice, meaning. 230 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: He's calm, he's cool, he's not letting anything get to him. 231 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: So it's good to see him out there playing that way. 232 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: And it's nice that he's going out there playing and 233 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: doing a good job. 234 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: Now through three games, he's got eight hundred and sixteen 235 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: passing yards. That is the most within the first three 236 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: games of a season since Andrew Luck in twenty sixteen 237 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: when he threw for nine thirteen yards. And one of 238 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: the knocks on Daniel Jones kind of heading into the 239 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season was not pushing the ball down 240 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: the field. So I did some research myself here, Bill, 241 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: listen to these numbers. Okay, he completed eighteen passes today. 242 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: Nine of those passes went for at least fifteen yards. 243 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: The Colts averaged nine point one yards per gained per 244 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: pass play, yet again over nine yards per attempt in 245 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: the third game. Here for Daniel Jones with the Colts 246 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: kind of continuing to kind of bury that notion that 247 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't push the ball down the field. 248 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, then I can push the ball down 249 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: the field. He can throw the ball down the field 250 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: when needed. And you know, he can make the intermediate throws, 251 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: he can make the short throws, he can make all 252 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: the throws. 253 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 3: He can make the touch throws. 254 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 2: We have to just kind of layer it over a linebacker, 255 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: layer over to the second level or whatever level he 256 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 2: needs to lay it to so he can make all 257 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: the throws. So, you know, if people talk about that, 258 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 2: but I just think you have a quarterback that is 259 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: so calm, cool in the pocket. He doesn't let things 260 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: bother him. He can make all the throws. He knows 261 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: he can make all the throws, and he's very athletic. 262 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: So you see him out there playing. He does his job. 263 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: He does a nice job. And he can make the throw. 264 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 2: So I don't know where that came from, maybe because 265 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: of the stats in the past, but he can make 266 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: all the throws. And you want a quarterback that can 267 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: make all the throws because now the defense can't really 268 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: defend you one way saying, Okay, we want to keep 269 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: everything in front of us because we know he can't 270 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: go deep, but he can go deep. 271 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: So they have to play him honest and they. 272 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: Have to play him straight up because he can make 273 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: deep throws, he can make the intermediate throws, they can 274 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: make the short throws. And I think that's one of 275 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: the many things that this offense does well that makes 276 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: it difficult for defense to try to defend. 277 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,119 Speaker 3: They don't know exactly where. 278 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: The ball is going to, whom is going to, what 279 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 2: level is going to, And the coach could make all 280 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: those plays short, intermediate. 281 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: And long now and a couple of those numbers could 282 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: be a little bit different as well. The deep ball 283 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: that he had to Alec Pierce that we saw alec 284 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: years going into concussion protocol, that one was really close 285 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: to being a completion. And then another one that I 286 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: always talk about, those bonus hidden yards, and it was 287 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: that big play to Ady Mitchell where he threw it 288 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: near the end zone. There was a pass interference call, 289 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: so you know it's a thirty plus yard penalty that 290 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: the Colts are able to get into, you know, inside 291 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the five off of that. So those don't count when 292 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: it comes into the passing yards and all of that. 293 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: But those are some of those hitting yard hidden yardages 294 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: that are also very very key to what you're able 295 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: to do. Being able to push the ball down the field. 296 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: It's one of those things a defense, like you said, 297 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: they have to play you straight up. Now, one of 298 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: the things we've talked about is spreading the ball around. 299 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: We saw again today five players have at least two catches. 300 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman led the team six catches for seventy three 301 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. This offense, I feel like the 302 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: reason they've been so effective is because of that, the 303 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: ability to spread the ball around. And we saw that 304 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: yet again again today. 305 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's what you want. 306 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: You want to spread the ball around because you know 307 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: Daniel's going to take what the defense gives them. And 308 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: you know a play might be designed for Michael Pittman, 309 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: but you know what they have it defended. 310 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: Pretty well, well, I'm gonna go to Tyler Warren. 311 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give the ball to Tyler Warren so he 312 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: can make a play, but it might be my second read. 313 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: So you know, it's a good thing that you know, 314 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones does a good job of springing the ball around. 315 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: And it's good that the receivers are running an alert 316 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: on every route because that's one thing that I played 317 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: with the coach that always told me everyone running, everyone alert, 318 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: not knowing where the ball is gonna come. Because yes, 319 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: there are plays designed to go to certain people right, 320 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: but you know what, if they have the right defense 321 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: at that time and the quarterback reads it, he has 322 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: to go to his second read and maybe to his 323 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: third read. Those are things that mean that, you know what, 324 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: you have to be alert when the plays being called. 325 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: You have to run your route like you're wanting no 326 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: matterew their first read, second read, third read or whatever. 327 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: And that's very important for the receivers to do. And 328 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: that helps Daniel Jones to be able to go back 329 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: there read a defense and knowing that the guys are 330 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: going to be in the right spot at the right 331 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: time when he needs to throw the ball. If his 332 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: first read is not there, or if his second reads 333 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: not there, if his third reason not there. And I 334 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: thought A d Mitchell did a good job on that play. 335 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: You're talking about coming back for the ball right, being 336 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: alert for the ball being there, but coming back towards 337 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: the ball so then they can get that pass interference. 338 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: Now, one final thing on Daniel Jones is his third 339 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: straight game without a turnover. The Colts haven't even had 340 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: a fumble. You know, that's one of the things that's 341 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: like a lot of times, you know, you'll see a 342 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: team they'll have a fumble, they recover it, it still goes. 343 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: They don't even have a fumble to this point through 344 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: three games, Daniel Jones, it's been pretty remarkable. No interceptions, 345 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: no turnovers at all, pretty remarkable clip that he's working 346 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: at right now and not putting the ball in harms 347 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: away and. 348 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: That's very important. You don't want to turn the ball over. 349 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: And you know something that the Colts really really emphasized 350 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: of making sure that they hold onto the ball, don't 351 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: turn the ball over and try to create turnovers from 352 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint, but for the quarterback not to throw 353 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: any inceptions, not to put the ball in Harm's way. 354 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: It's a big plus for the offer and for the teams. 355 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: You want to give yourself the best chance to move 356 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: the ball down the field and score points, and one 357 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: of the ways you can do that is making sure 358 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: you protect the ball, keep the ball in your hands 359 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: in regards to the offense, and not turning the ball over. 360 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: And they're doing that. Dan Jones is not putting the 361 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: ball in Harm's way. The guys that are catching the 362 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: ball and run with the ball are holding onto the ball, 363 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: and of course the running backs are holding onto the 364 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: ball as well, and that's what you want. Don't turn 365 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: the ball over. And we talk about turnovers and turnover differential. 366 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: That's one of the best indicators to dictate games that 367 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: are won and lost by turnover differential. When you don't 368 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: turn the ball over, you give yourself an opportunity to 369 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: win football games. And right now the Coats have not 370 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: turned the ball over and they've won three games and 371 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: they they got to turn over. They've gotten a turnover 372 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: in each of the three games they've played, so they're 373 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: plus on a turnover differential and that's a big bullet 374 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: for this team to hopefully continue that and hopefully they'll 375 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: help them win some football games. 376 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: That's a perfect segue, Bill. It's like you knew what 377 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: I was going to go to next, because we've got 378 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: to give the defense some flowers. Today they held the 379 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: Titans under three hundred yards of total offense. And it 380 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: all started with Kenny Moore having, you know, the way 381 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: to open up the game. He had a awesome pick 382 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: six on that opening drive by the Titans. It's his 383 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: fourth career pick six for Kenny Moore. Pretty impressive, you know, 384 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: way to start the game. We're gonna keep you updated 385 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: on the status of Kenny. He left the game with 386 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: a calf injury today. But when you talk about this team, maybe, 387 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, some people might have said it's a trap 388 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: game because of where the Titans were and all that. 389 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: I know, one of the things that you mentioned is 390 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: it's only a trap game if the team lets it 391 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: be a trap game. And right off the back Kennymore 392 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: on that opening possession, you know, is able to read 393 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: read the eyes of cam Ward, get in that passing 394 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: lane and take it to the house to start the 395 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: game off seven nothing with the Colts. 396 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, defense stepped up on the first possession of the 397 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: game when they were out there, and you know, cam 398 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: Ward made a pass. I don't know if he didn't 399 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: see Kenny or not or whatever. Kenny did a good 400 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 2: job of hiding himself and kind of coming out there 401 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 2: and making a big play and then taking it to 402 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: the house a pick six. 403 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: That's huge. Get off to a fast start. 404 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: The coach talked about he wanted the team to get 405 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: off to a fast start. 406 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 3: They did. 407 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: You want you get off to a fast start. You 408 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: score seven points before you eat, before your offense even 409 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: has the ball, that's a big bonus. And then you 410 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: go out there and you play and you do a 411 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: good job the rest of the game, especially right before halftime, 412 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 2: and then you score again getting the ball on the 413 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: beginning of the second half, your first offensive possession in 414 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: the second half, you score. So those some big plays. 415 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: But Kenny made a nice play, and that's what you want. 416 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 2: You want to see guys making big players. You get 417 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: a turnover and you capitalize on that turnof by getting 418 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: seven points. 419 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 3: A big bonus for the team and definitely a big 420 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 3: bonus for the offense. 421 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: And of course it's good for the defense to get 422 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: those players they love to get get have an opportunity 423 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: or get into the end zone and do their little 424 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 2: dance or whatever they want to do and have fun. 425 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: And it's good for the team to have fun. 426 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: Let those guys enjoy making big plays and they put 427 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: in a lot of hard work, so they need to 428 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: enjoy some of the fruits of the labor. And that 429 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: was a big, big bonus for the Coast defense and. 430 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: One of the areas we touched on all week that 431 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: was kind of a must for this Colts defense was 432 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: abled was getting pressure on the young rookie quarterback. They 433 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: had allowed eleven sacks through two games, and the sack 434 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: parade kind of continued. The Colts had four sacks Taekwon Lewis. 435 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: He had two of them, tying a career high. They 436 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: also had seven quarterback hits. So very productive day for 437 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: the Colts being able to create that pressure and making 438 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: things a little bit more challenging for cam Ward as 439 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: a rookie. 440 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you want to do. You got a 441 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: rookie back there. You know that he's a good athlete. 442 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: He can move in the pocket that he could hurt 443 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: you if he does get out of the pocket and run. 444 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: He doesn't usually like to run. 445 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: He likes to throw the ball when he scrambles back, 446 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: scrambles back there. But you know what, the Coast got 447 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: pressure on him, sacked them four times. You know that 448 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 2: he was sacked eleven times in the previous two weeks. 449 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: So it was good to see the Coast get some 450 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 2: pressure on him, make some gets, some quarterback hits on him. 451 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: Those are things you want to do to a young quarterback. 452 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: You want to try to confuse him, make him a 453 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 2: little hesitant back there and throwing the balls or in 454 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: his decision making. And the coach did that. So you 455 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: saw that with the sacks, the quarterback hits and the 456 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 2: pressures that they got on him. So it's important for 457 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: the team to continue that. Playing a big team next 458 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: week and the Los Angeles ram with Matthew Stafford. No, 459 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: I'm not sure you're gonna be able to fool him. 460 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: He's been around long enough, he's seen quite a bit 461 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: out there. But you can still try to get pressure 462 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 2: on from a physical standpoint, just just beat the guy 463 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: across from hopefully you can get a chance to get 464 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: to him. But today's game, the Coast did a nice 465 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: job of puting some pressure on the young guy back there. 466 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: And I know the young guy will get better. 467 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: He's a good athlete, he will play better, but the 468 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: Coast did a nice job of frustrating him and getting 469 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: to him today. 470 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: Now, one final thing on the defense that I was 471 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: very impressed with was against the run. That was one 472 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: of the things we'd seen some run leakage if you 473 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: will heading into you know, the game on Sunday, but 474 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard was the guy he had to shut down 475 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: and he had just forty five yards on sixteen carries. 476 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: I know he had the one yard touchdown, but ultimately 477 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: he had just had two point eight yards per carry, 478 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: and as a team they averaged three point seven yards 479 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: per carry. But in large party was all kind of 480 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: based on the twenty seven yard run by Julius Chestnut 481 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: to kind of help everything out. So if you get 482 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: rid of that one run play, it was twenty two 483 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: carries for fifty nine yards on the ground. So that 484 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: is a very very good day in the run defense 485 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: for the Colts. 486 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: Very good day in a run defense, and a lot 487 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 2: of teams are going to try to, you know, if 488 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: the Coast keep on playing like they have been with 489 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 2: the offense being efficient as it has been, the team's 490 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: going to try to find a way to keep the 491 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: Coast offense on the sideline, and one of the ways 492 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 2: you gotta do that is by running the ball. So 493 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: it's imperative that the Coast defense get ready for teams 494 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: are gonna run the ball against him and play the 495 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: run well. And today they did that. They played the 496 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: run well against a running back. To me, I think 497 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: is very versatile back that you can run the ball. 498 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: He had over a thousand yards last year running for 499 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. He cut over forty passes as well 500 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: for the Tennessee Titans last year, so it was a 501 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: it's a very versatile back that could make some big plays. 502 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: But the Coast did a nice job in the run 503 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: game of slowing him down, keeping him boxing, so he 504 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: didn't really make too many big plays out there. So 505 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: he had what look, you said, two point eight yards 506 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 2: will carry a total of forty five yards, So it 507 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: was good that they did a good job. Yes, the 508 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: one guy had a twenty seven yard run, Chestnut had 509 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: a twenty seven yard your run. But you know what, 510 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: if you keep those to a minimum, those runs, that's 511 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: gonna play well for the Coast defense. 512 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 3: And then when you can't run the ball. 513 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: Then the next thing you have to do is pass 514 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: the ball and then hopefully those guys on the outside 515 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: quit he pay and you have a lot two lot too. 516 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 2: You can pin their ears back and hopefully get after 517 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 2: some quarterbacks when you know you're gonna pass it. On 518 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 2: passing downs a thirty long, then that would be big 519 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: because if you if you're successful first and second down 520 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: it slowing down the run and making it third and long, 521 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: third and eight, third and nine, pretty much have a 522 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: good feeling that they're going to pass the ball and 523 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 2: then you can let those guys just go after the 524 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: quarterback and get after him. So good job by a 525 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 2: defensive line and the defense as a whole playing them 526 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: run against the Tennessee Titans. 527 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: All right, a couple things before we wrap up here. 528 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: You know we're gonna continue to monitor the status of 529 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore who left with the calf injury, and Alec 530 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Pierce who left with the concussion. If you want to 531 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: check on any of that, you can always visit a 532 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: Colts dot com or any of the Colts social media 533 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: channels will have you covered on that. But looking at 534 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: this Colts victory, they currently sit atop the AFC South 535 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: all by themselves at three and zero. The Jaguars defeated 536 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: the Texans. Now the jag sit at two and one 537 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: and both the Texans and Titans at zero. Win three 538 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: inside the division. The Colts' next test as they'll travel 539 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles next Sunday to take the Los Angeles 540 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: Rams on. They lost a tough game against the Eagles 541 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: in Week three, so the Rams are two to one 542 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: heading into week four. And Bill, I know the way 543 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: that you kind of look at the schedule, it's all 544 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: based in quarters. After today the Colts have officially won 545 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the first quarter. They start three to zero. It's a 546 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: pretty darn good start. 547 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a real start, good start, and you want that. 548 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: You want to play well in the beginning of the season, 549 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: and so when it comes to the NFCY, I'm not 550 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: saying you can relax or do anything like that at 551 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: the end of the season, but you still want to 552 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 2: build off the beginning of the season and build off 553 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: that and play well at the end of the year. 554 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: But to win the first quarter is big, especially against 555 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: three AFC opponents and one division opponent. That goes a 556 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: long way in regardless to tie breakers. Near the end 557 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 2: of the season when you have to figure out, you know, 558 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: the positioning or who wins the division or where you 559 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 2: position that in the playoffs. So very important for the 560 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: Coast to win these games against some AFC opponents and 561 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: a division opponent. But yes, the Coats have won the 562 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: first quarter. It'd be real nice to go four and oh. Yes, 563 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: it will a quarter, It'll be real nice. So can't 564 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: rest on these the what they have done in the 565 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: past three weeks. Nick can enjoy the flight home tonight, 566 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: have a good time, go home, enjoy the time with 567 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: your family and your friends and your loved ones.

That's a 571 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 3: good sign. 572 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: Hopefully they can be four and oh and then go 573 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: on to the next quarter starting and fresh and hopefully 574 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: build off with the first. 575 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Quarter absolutely well. As Bill just said, the Colts have 576 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: won the first quarter. As they sit three and oh 577 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: through the first three games, we'll have you locked in 578 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: on everything you need to know about the Colts and 579 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: Rams as they prepare for next Sunday out in Los Angeles. 580 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: But like I said, three and oh Colts after a 581 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: forty one to twenty victory inside Nashville against the Tennessee Titans. 582 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: For Bill Brooks, I'm Casey Valier.
