1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Well, welcome into instant reaction here inside the Indianapolis Colts

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: podcast and Bill, What a day. I'm Casey Valier, joined

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: by Culturing of Honor, Bill Brooks and Billy thirty three

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: to eight that I'm at a loss of words because

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: this streak that everybody has talked about, this Week one

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: streak having won since twenty thirteen, it just continues to

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: be that haze above everything. And the Colts came in

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: today and they left no doubt. It was the way

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: that I've kind of described it is they had a

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: game plan, and they executed the game plan to a

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: tee and Miami just didn't have any way to respond.

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: And the Colts from the get go, I mean, they

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: handled the game. They did everything they're supposed to do.

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: And what a great Week one victory for the Colts

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: at home.

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: A great way to start off in twenty twenty five season. Yes,

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: win the first game at home with us honoring Jim

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 2: Ersay going into the Ring of Honor, And what better

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: way to celebrate a honoring of Jim Irsay, the owner

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: of the Annapolis coach by winning the first game at

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: home against Miami Dolphins in two twenty five. So good

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: start for the Innnapolis coach, and that's what you want

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: to do. You want to start off fast in the season,

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: and it's better to start off fast and you know,

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: start off early in the season with some wins and

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: then that way at the end of the year, you're

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: not talking about, Okay, we have to win this game

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: and maybe this team has to lose this game. This

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: team has to lose this game for the coach to

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs. Now you kind of you know, basically,

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: what you want to do is control your own destiny

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: and you can help by doing that by starting off

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: fast and winning the first couple of games of the season.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: A few games as many as you can, definitely, but

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: definitely the first game of the season you want to win.

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I love that you brought that up because

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: one of the things, as you can it down the

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: stretch of the season, it always goes into your conference record.

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: If you're at that spot.

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: Where you're you're on the bubble or you're trying to

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: find ways how you can go over top of somebody else,

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: it all goes down to that AFC record. So for

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: the Colts getting not only a Week one victory, but

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: against an AFC opponent who, by all accounts, is going

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: to be a team that is probably going to be

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: knocking on the door of postseason play.

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: Especially.

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: That's essentially what we thought going into today. Now weeks

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: the football changes week two weeks. So just because the

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: Colts came out and one thirty three to eight over

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, doesn't mean that this Dolphins team, you can

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: go and write them off and they're not going to

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: be anything, because there's a lot of talent on that

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins team. So this is not at all taking

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: anything away from what they can be. But today the

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: Cults are the better team, and they proved it from

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the moment the game started all the way through and

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: you talked about Jim Mersey, we're both wearing our you know,

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: for the Boss shirts, and I thought it was the

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: best possible outcome for everything that today meant for the

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Colts to come out and just dominate, and that's what

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: they did from the opening jump. So it was an

63
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: awesome way to kick off the twenty twenty five season.

64
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: And I think we would be remiss if we didn't

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: start off by saying the start of the Daniel Jones

66
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: era in Indianapolis went off without a hitch. I mean,

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: this guy looked about as poised as it could be

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: inside that Shane Stike in offense twenty two of twenty nine,

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: two seventy two through the air, one passing touchdown, and

70
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: then we've talked about what he can do with his legs.

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: He showed those quarterbacks sneak abilities while he's able to

72
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: get two of those across the goal line for two

73
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: more rushing touchdowns. He was superb today. He was great

74
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: and it was one of those things where we hear

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the noise, he hears the noise, the team hears the

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: noise for him. I'm sure that is He's not gonna

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: say it because he is. I mean, he is a

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: true professional, but I'm sure there's a little bit of

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: a weight that just got lifted to come out here

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: and just finally real football, prove what you can do.

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: Because this is the Daniel Jones. We saw a lot

82
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: through camp and he was able to put it on

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: the football field week one.

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, what we saw through camp was a guy that

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: was poised out there in the football field, the guy

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: that had a command of the offense out in the

87
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: football field. During training camp, when he was out there

88
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: and a guy that knew where to go with the ball,

89
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: and a guy that also knew what play to put

90
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: the team in if it was a call out there

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: that wasn't the best play for the offense.

92
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: So he's a guy that has experience.

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: The guy that went out there and had a command

94
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: of the offense, knew what he wanted to do. And

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: the thing that I like outside of is poised and

96
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: being calm out there is when there wasn't anything opened

97
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: down the field, he just checked it down. Yes, he

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: threw it to Jonathan Taylor one time and Jonathan Taylor

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: made a guy miss and got a first down from it.

100
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: And those are things you want to see from your quarterback.

101
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: You want to see your quarterback say there's nothing downfield,

102
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm take what the defense gives me and then let

103
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: the playmakers make some plays. Jonathan Taylor made a play.

104
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: There also a quarterback that say, hey, look this is

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: a play the coaches gave me, but this is not

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: maybe the best situation for us, So that night might

107
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: not be the best protection. Let me change the protection,

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: might not be the best play. Let me change the

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: play and put us in a better play. So we

110
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: can be successful and keep the drive moving. And to me,

111
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: those things is what Daniel Jones showed us today out

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: there in the football field. And to me, that this

113
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: comes from him being poised out there in the football field,

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: having a command of the offense, understanding the offense, knowing

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: what he wanted to do, and also knowing what the

116
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: defense was trying to take away from him. Give Daniel

117
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: Jones a lot of credit completing seventy five percent of

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: his passes out there, Yeah, rushing for two touchdowns, and

119
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: to me, I also liked him spreading the ball around

120
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: to different players, giving the balls around the different players

121
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: so they can make plays, and not doing anything out

122
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: of the ordinary for Daniel Jones, staying within himself. A

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: lot of things that Dann Jones did today, we're just

124
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: perfect for Daniel Jones and he needs to continue to

125
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: do that going on throughout the season.

126
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about seventy five percent completion percentage,

127
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the efficiens. The efficiency of the offense today was well

128
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: documented because the Colts became the first team since nineteen

129
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: seventy seven. This is, according to ESPN Stats, first team

130
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy seven to score on all seven possessions,

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: they had the ball seven times. They put points on

132
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: the board all seven of those three touchdowns four field goals.

133
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: There's not much else you can do. The only thing

134
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: better is seven touchdowns exactly. And you know what, I'm

135
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: sure that's what they're when they go to the drawing board.

136
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: That's what they're going to try to do. Hey, next week,

137
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's take these these four these four times we didn't

138
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: score touchdowns and find a way to make a touchdowns.

139
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to bring up that

140
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: you mentioned is spreading the ball around. We saw everything

141
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: that we're going to see and more out of Tyler Warren.

142
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: He looked every bit the part of the first round.

143
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: But before we touch on him, I want to you

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: mentioned it. I mean, you saw Michael Pittman make his

145
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: impact on the game. Alec Pierce was able to make

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: his hit impact on you know they people have criticized

147
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones for not being able to go deep. A

148
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: great ball down the scene was able to get Alec

149
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce open. We saw ad Ni Mitchell make some plays,

150
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: Josh Downs make some plays. But you mentioned Jonathan Taylor.

151
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had three receptions today, all of last year,

152
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: he had just two games where he had multiple receptions.

153
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: So Jonathan Taylor is a weapon. However, you get him

154
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: the football, so being able to utilize you as you

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: mentioned those checkdowns, Jonathan Taylor is a weapon being able

156
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: to get him the football. There's never a wrong combination

157
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: with that.

158
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: Exactly. You basically want the ball in his hands. Yes,

159
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: that's the bottom.

160
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: How he gets the ball in his hands, that's gonna

161
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: be up to the offensive coordinator Shan styk In and

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: how they do it in regards to no what we

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: want to hand the ball to him, We want to

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: pitch the ball to him, want to throw the ball

165
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: to him, whatever it is.

166
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: But if you get the ball.

167
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Into Jonathan Taylor's hands, he can do a lot of

168
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: things with that ball, and he's definitely can make a

169
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: lot of people miss. He could run people over and

170
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: he could run by people. So that's what you want

171
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: to do, because Jonathan Taylor is gonna be one of

172
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: those guys that they're gonna use quite a bit this season.

173
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: It was running the ball, but also in the passing game.

174
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: You know, people don't think that you know what, that

175
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor probably can catch the ball that well or whatever.

176
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't catch the ball a lot.

177
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: But I think, you know, in this offense, you'll see

178
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 2: them try to use Jonathan Taylor Moore in different ways,

179
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: and one of the ways might be just throwing the

180
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: ball to him if nothing else is opened down the field,

181
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: him being a check down, him being able to catch

182
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: the ball. And then to me, I think, if you

183
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: get the ball in his hands in space, oh yeah,

184
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: the defense is going to be in trouble.

185
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: And I mean one of the guys that I want

186
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: to go to after Jonathan Taylor, you talk about getting

187
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: the ball in space. We saw Tyler Warren do some

188
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: things today that we were kind of waiting for it

189
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: during the preseason and it's like, oh, he's out of

190
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: the game. We don't get to see the evolution of

191
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: that play. But Tyler Warren made his presence known. Seven

192
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: catches for seventy six yards. Safe to say the rookie

193
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: had a pretty nice debut.

194
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty sick. Tyler warrenon did a nice job today.

195
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: You know, in the first game in the National Football League,

196
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: playing at home, you know, on the first play, go

197
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: the go to Tyler Warren to catch the ball. I

198
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 2: know as a receiver, me, I love that if I

199
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: didn't get the ball in my hands in the first

200
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: two or three players of the game get hit a

201
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: couple of times, I feel like I'm into the game

202
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: right away. So you know, Tyler Warren got involved in

203
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: the game right away the first play of the game

204
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: for the coach on offense and you know, man, nice

205
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: catch and run. And then after that, just whenever he

206
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones saw that, you know what, Tyler Warren was

207
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: open or the play call for the ball go to

208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren. He got the ball to Tyler Warren. Tyler

209
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: Waran catched the ball, hold on to the ball, ran

210
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: hard ran a couple of people over and I think

211
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: also to me, I think it was passing the Ferance

212
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: and then play Tyler Warren. I think the I was

213
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: passing the France. I don't think it was anything no

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: fea getting tangled up or whatever. I just thought I

215
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: was passing the France. And if the guy didn't interfere

216
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: with Warren, that would have been a touchdown for taylawano

217
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: have been his first touchdown in the National Football League.

218
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: But I think he's gonna get his first touchdown that's

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: the football league soon, very.

220
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: Soon, completely agree with that.

221
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: And we also saw Tyler Warren line up at full

222
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: back yeah, and get a really nice first down three

223
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: yards in the game today too, So that was that

224
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. And then the last guy

225
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: I want to touch on is Michael Pittman Junior. We

226
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: haven't really mentioned his name too much during the offseason,

227
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: mainly because it's been all about the quarterback and then

228
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: lou An Arumo's new defense. But I thought Michael Pittman

229
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: did exactly what Michael Pittman does. He came out, he

230
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: was that number one weapon in the receiving game outside

231
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: of I know Tyler Warren's a tight end, but I'm

232
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: gonna throw him in that lumpet. But Michael Pittman six catches,

233
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: he was able to get into the end zone. That

234
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: nice play down down the right side line, but six catches,

235
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: eighty yards in a touchdown. Michael Pittman Junior, you know,

236
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: he's looking like he's gonna thrive pretty well with Daniel

237
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Jones under center.

238
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we weren't talking about Michael Pittman because

239
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman was doing what Michael Pittman does. Right, he's

240
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: making his catches, he's making the plays that we think

241
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: he could make, and he's doing a nice job out there.

242
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: And this being Mike, just being Michael Pittman. And today

243
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: he came out and he was Michael Pittman today and

244
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: he did the things that he he needed to do

245
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: out there. And the touchdown play was a nice play

246
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: where I think they went back to cover too as

247
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: far as Miami's defense, and I think it looked like

248
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: he was supposed to run out and up as far

249
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: as Michael Pittman kind of went out, and it's up

250
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: the sideline there and the safety was half half the

251
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: feel over there. That's to say that he's playing cover

252
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: two up there. And then Michael Pittman was in that

253
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: hole right there. Daniel Jones just threw the ball, hit

254
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: him in, hit him in that hole right there, walked

255
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: into the end zone. So nice play by Michael Pittman

256
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: other players. Of course, he caught the ball and got

257
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: tackled and got hit, but he did what Michael Pittman does,

258
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: play the physical type of game, catch the ball of

259
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: the middle, take the tough hits, keep the chains moved,

260
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: and has played good good football catch the ball and

261
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: being open target for the quarterback.

262
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Now, one final thing before we move to the defense,

263
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: because the defense had a really, really nice day. I

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: want to talk about the protection for Daniel Jones because

265
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you knew what you had in Quentin Nelson, Braden Smith,

266
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman, because those guys are established NFL, I mean

267
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: some of them.

268
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: I mean Quinton Nelson, you could.

269
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: Arguably the best guard in football, So you knew what

270
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: you were going to expect out of those guys. But

271
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: guys like Mackinsolve is playing right guard for the first

272
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: time in his career. Tanner Bornerlini stepping in is the

273
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: full time center.

274
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: I thought the.

275
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Protection today was really really good. We had one sack,

276
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits. But I thought the running lanes were

277
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: really really nice when they needed to be. And for

278
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: the most part, Daniel Jones was able to do what

279
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: he wanted to do from a passing standpoint because the

280
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: protection was so good.

281
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: Exactly, and I thought I did a nice job. He

282
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: had time to throw the ball back there. Now, yes,

283
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: he was pressured a couple of times and he got

284
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: all of the pocket and he scrambled a few times,

285
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: But for the most part, he had time to throw

286
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: the ball, get the ball to the receivers. The officer

287
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: line did a nice job for protecting Daniel Jones and

288
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: giving him some time to throw the ball, but also

289
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: open up some holes as you mentioned, Casey, for Jonathan Taylor.

290
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: Taylor had seventy one yards rushing the ball in eighteen

291
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: carries and get Into had forty one yards on twelve carries.

292
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: So they did a nice job of opening some holes

293
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: for those guys to run the ball and be a

294
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: fishing out there in the football field. And to me,

295
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: I think they were overlooked today. Everyone talked about Daniel

296
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: Jones and what they did the defense did as far

297
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: as creating turnovers, yes, both are true, but also give

298
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: credit to the office line how they play today. Kudos

299
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: to Gonzalvez out there and Bordolini playing today. I know

300
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: they've played in the past, but playing out there today.

301
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 3: Bullets whit bullets.

302
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it was good to see those guys do well.

303
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: And taking over out there and just making sure that

304
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: they did a nice job of protecting Daniel Jones and

305
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: the holes for the running backs.

306
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: That's bill some Casey value part of instant reaction here

307
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Following the Colts thirty three to eight victory over the Dolphins.

308
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Flipping over the defense, it was a great day for

309
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: lou Anarumo in his debut in a Colts you know,

310
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: as the Colts defensive play caller. The defense had three turnovers,

311
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: three sacks, and I want to list out the drives

312
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: in order for what the Dolphins did. Okay, started off

313
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: first drive interception, second drive fumble, third drive punt, fourth

314
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: drive interception, fifth drive turnover on downs. They scored on

315
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: the sixth drive and the seventh drive was an end

316
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: of the game where they just essentially ran out the clock.

317
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: That is efficient. We knew that lou Anarumo's defense was

318
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: going to look different from what we've seen the last

319
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: handful of years, but I don't know if we thought

320
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: that was coming. But boy, that defense a lot of

321
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: new pieces, especially in the secondary, you know, highlighted by

322
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Scharvarius Ward, cam Bine them, Xavian Howard, but boy, they

323
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: all made an impact, cam buying them. First interception in

324
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: a in a culture uniform came on that first defensive series.

325
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: You saw Xavieran Howard recover the fumble on the second.

326
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: So these guys came in and they executed lose defense

327
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: to a t today and it was very very impressive,

328
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: you know.

329
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: Coming into the year, to me, that was the thing

330
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: that was I was interested. And everyone was talking about

331
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: the quarterback competition. Yes, everyone should be talking about that

332
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: because that's very important, but I wanted to see what

333
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: the defense was gonna do. I want to see how

334
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: that was going to change and how they were going

335
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: to perform out there in the football field against whoever

336
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: they were going to play, and for them to come

337
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: out to play as as aggressive as they did today,

338
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: create those turnovers and not only that, the offense capitalize

339
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: on those turnovers. Yeah, that was big. That was very

340
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: good complimentary football. But give the defense credit. You know,

341
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: you had buy with their interception, you have Xavier and

342
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: Higher with the fumble recovery, you have.

343
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: Lots of exactly.

344
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: So you had guys making players and that's what you

345
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: want to see. You want to see guys make players

346
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: out there. And to me, it looks like those guys

347
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: are having fun, right and they're playing aggressive, having fun.

348
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: Defenses like to play aggressive. They like to be aggressive

349
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: and get after the offense, and today you saw that

350
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: and it was good to seeing those guys being aggressive

351
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: and not just being aggressive, but being smart. There was

352
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: a play out there earlier in the game where the

353
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: coach did bring a blitz and the various ward was

354
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: playing off and but he didn't drop back. He just

355
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: stood there because he knew that the rusher was going

356
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: to get to the quarterback. So when the ball was

357
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: thrown out, he broke on the ball. He didn't make

358
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: a player on the ball.

359
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: But he tackled a guy for four or five yards.

360
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: But to me, that's an experienced player out there, look

361
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: knowing that, hey, they're going to get to him, so

362
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: the quarterback is going to have to kick the ball out,

363
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: so they have to throw it in front of me,

364
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: and he came up and made a nice play and

365
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: made a tackle. So to me, that was fun to

366
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: see those guys playing good football and aggressive football and

367
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: fun football.

368
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: No, it was they were flying around. I mean, you

369
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: talk about war, talk about buying them. They were all

370
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: over the place buying them. Interception, two passes defense. You

371
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: mentioned lat To his first career interception, But I want

372
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to talk about a guy getting back on the field.

373
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: Samson Ebacom, Yep, he gets credit for the sack he

374
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: led the team with three quarterback hits. I thought it

375
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: was really really and now the cover it was more

376
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: of like a coverage sack that he gets credit for,

377
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: but he was able to be in the right place

378
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: at the right time. But just for him getting out

379
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: on the field after what he dealt with a year

380
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: ago and being able just to kind of put his

381
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: staple on the game, I thought that was very Ultimately,

382
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: this defensive line group is going to be deep.

383
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we saw J T.

384
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: Twey moloaw a healthy scratch today the second round pick,

385
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: and that's because of what this depth can do. But

386
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: I thought getting Samson out there today was really really

387
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: good to see him out there making an impact.

388
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: It's good to have him back out there. You know,

389
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: a guy that went through a tough injury last year

390
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: and rehab the whole year and the whole offseason to

391
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: get back and to see him get back out there,

392
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure for him, he was, you know, chomping at

393
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: the bit to get back out here, wanted to get

394
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: back out there, and he did get back out there

395
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: and make make some plays. So it's good to see

396
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: him out there and being a contributor out there because.

397
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 4: You know, you're gonna need guys like that.

398
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: You gotta need as many guys on the defensive line,

399
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: so you can have rotate guys in and out so

400
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: to give some guys some rest. So hopefully that front,

401
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: the front line guys at the end of the game

402
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: are fresh, ready to go, and they could put some

403
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback. So it's good to see Sampson

404
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: out there and you know he can make plays, and

405
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: you want guys like that, and like I said, it's

406
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: great to see a lot to make a play and

407
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: the rest of the defensive line make players out there.

408
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: Now, one of the things that did kind of ring

409
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: true like last year, now it wasn't to the degree,

410
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: was the Colts being able to hold in check Tyreek

411
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: Hill and Jalen Waddle. Last year it was two receptions

412
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards combined. These two guys are elite, so

413
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: being able to do that for a second time is

414
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: pretty impossible. But I think this that line's pretty good.

415
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: They both had four catches and they combined for seventy yards,

416
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: So that is eight catches for seventy yards out of

417
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. Very very impressive because one

418
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: of the things that we were maybe not questioning, but

419
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: we were anxious to kind of see was Howard Xavian

420
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Howard's legs hold up against these speed merchants on the

421
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: end Sharvarius Ward, Kennymore. These guys were up to the

422
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: task and they held these guys in check. And I

423
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: thought that Tua in the offense just looked one tick

424
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: off all game because of what the Colts defense was

425
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: able to do.

426
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were.

427
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: I think the Dolphins' offense was out of sync. And

428
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 2: I think they were out of sync not because they

429
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: were out of sync, because more of what the Coast.

430
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: Defense was doing right to their offense.

431
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: So give those guys credit for what they were doing

432
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: to kind of disrupt the Miami offense. And I think

433
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: we said in the pregame showed that, you know last

434
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: year that those guys didn't have big games, and you

435
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: know the reason was Tour wasn't there last year. And

436
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if the coach can do the same

437
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: thing this year, but we just didn't want them to

438
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: have any explosive plays. They didn't have any explosive plays

439
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: and they only had seventy yards. When you keep those

440
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: two guys for seventy yards. That is a win. Credit

441
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: the second day of the Indianappis coach. Credit for the

442
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: defensive line of the Indianapolis coach, and credit also the linebackers.

443
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: It's a whole defense.

444
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: Get them all credit for what they did today to

445
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: hold those two guys and check and do a nice

446
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: job out in the football field.

447
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: Because when you can hold.

448
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: Those two guys, especially Tyreek Kill that can take the

449
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: top off any team in the National Football League and

450
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: keep him in check, that's a big plus for your

451
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: defense and it says something about your defense. And then

452
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: for the guys to go out there and execute the

453
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: game plan that Lou had to keep those guys in check.

454
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 4: Kudos to those guys.

455
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: So it's a full, complete win.

456
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: We heard Shane Taigen talking about that, how it's a

457
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: complete team win.

458
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: There.

459
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: It took all three phases time possession Colts thirty eight

460
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: forty three to Miami's twenty one seventeen. We talked about

461
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: those three turnovers they turned it into seventeen points on

462
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: the offensive side of it, But let's talk about that

463
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: third phase. And I thought Spencer Schrader but he was

464
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: impressive today. You know, he was kind of the unproven

465
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: guy because he had just five kicks all of last year,

466
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: came in today and was a perfect four for four

467
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: from field goals, knocked down all three extra points, so

468
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: all seven of the opportunities that he got, and just

469
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: me looking at it, it was right down Broadway. Yeah,

470
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: every kick was right on the money. So very impressive

471
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: day out of Spencer Strader. Kind of his first time

472
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: as a full time kicker, and he made the most

473
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: of his opportunities today.

474
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

475
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you get in in the area where

476
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: you know what, you're in field goal range whatever, maybe

477
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: fifty yards, forty five yards, whatever, you want to feel

478
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: confident that you know what you have at least three points.

479
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: And with Straighter doing what he did today for or

480
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: four gottenfield Grange made those kicks.

481
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: That's great, that's what you want. Yeah.

482
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm sure the coachs wish they couldn't score

483
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: touchdowns on all those possessions, but when you can, it's

484
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. In the national football teams are too

485
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: good to let you score every time you get within

486
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: the twenty yard line or in forty or fifty yard

487
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: lines out forty yards out, let's you say, and you know,

488
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: with straighter being that good, looks like he has the

489
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: confidence that, you know what, anytime I go out there,

490
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a kick.

491
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: And that's what you want you as an offense.

492
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: You see your kicker with that much confidence, you know that, Okay,

493
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: if we don't get a touchdown, we at least have

494
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: three points. And that goes a long ways for how

495
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: Shane calls his game right as well, knowing that, hey,

496
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: if we're in a position where we can score three points,

497
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: maybe we do take a chance of trying to score

498
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: a touchdown because we know that, you know what, the

499
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 2: quarterback's not gonna put the ball in Harm's away and

500
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: we know if it's an incomplete pass or we don't

501
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 2: get enough for a first down, we got three points

502
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: at least, So as good as see straight and make

503
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: those kicks, n be as confident. And as you said,

504
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: right down.

505
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 3: Broadway, Yeah, right down Broadway. That is absolutely right. Now.

506
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: Finally, here, Bill, I want to talk very briefly about

507
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: what we saw at halftime, one of the coolest moments

508
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: for all of us. We missed Jim dearly, but Jim

509
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: was inducted as the twentieth member of the Indianapolis Colts

510
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, joining yourself. I know you were on

511
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: the field with you know, the Colts legends, you know,

512
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Bill Pollian, Marvin, Redg Dallas, Clark, Edrin James.

513
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: I mean, all these guys that are just and I thought.

514
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: In some ways it's so meaningful because Jim is already there.

515
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Jim has always been there, Like he's you know, he's

516
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: putting these guys in the ring, but he's already part

517
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, and now he's gonna be forever enshrined

518
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: right next to all the greats that he helped bring to

519
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: this city put in that Ring of Honor. It was

520
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: it was an awesome halftime ceremony, and you know, it

521
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: was such a great way to cap it off for

522
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Jim with the roof open and you know, him looking

523
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: down on us is pretty cool.

524
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

525
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: Jim had a hand on every one of us being here, Yes,

526
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: playing for the Colts and going out there and playing

527
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: on the football field for the city, for the community.

528
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: For the Indianapolis Colts.

529
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: And it's just great knowing that, you know what, this

530
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,280

Speaker 2: players that you know what, he's being inducted into the

533
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,239

534
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: the Colts, is the shoe. Yeah, he is the horseshoe.

535
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: So for him to go on the Ring of Honor,

536
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: it is just great. And to see all the guys

537
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: come back to be a part of that, and for

538
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: the girls Carly, Casey, Kaylin out there just and you know,

539
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: of course representing the family and Jim going in, it

540
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: just was a special moment, uh, to see him go

541
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: in and for the guys to be back. And you know,

542
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: we've talked about it what Jim meant to each and

543
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: every one of us, and the guys just were always

544
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: saying that, you know, yes, Jim was the you know,

545
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: my my time, he was a general manager and Jim

546
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: was the owner. But Jim really we didn't look at

547
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: Jim as you know, general manager owner.

548
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: Right because he treated us like you know, we're friends,

549
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 4: were treat us like his family.

550
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the way he talked to us, and it

551
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: was just he's just a special guy in that he

552
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: always cared about people and wanted to do the best

553
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: and he tried to help people as much as he can,

554
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: and so it was a special feeling today. It was,

555
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of it kind of bittersweet, one

556
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 2: of those things where it's great for him to go

557
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: in because he more than deserves it to go in,

558
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: but it was sad that he's not here and we

559
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: miss him. I wish he was here. But it was

560
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: a great, great ceremony and everyone did a nice job.

561
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240

Speaker 2: for the fans and to see it and applied Jim.
