1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: Football is about the jimmies and joes and exes and 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: oh's check New York vot plenty. Ain't thank you, Bruce. 3 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: It's time to get out the chopboard and diagram some plays. 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: Here's what all starts right here. That's why jam money, Chris. 5 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: This is Inside Football with former Colts and NFL coach 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: Rick Venturi. We are back for week two in another 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: installment of Inside Football here with rick Vin Turrey. Thanks 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: for coming back. I'm Matt Taylor, and of course the 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: Colts trying to move on from their first tie since 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: moving to Indianapolis in nineteen eighty four. The Colts and 11 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Texans played to a drawl in Week one twenty to twenty, 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: and we're gonna break that down and also move on 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up in week number two 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: this weekend in Northern Florida with Rick Venturry, who has 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: nearly thirty years on the sidelines as a coach. RV. 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: Welcome back, and I guess after breaking down the film 17 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: a few days later, do you feel better or do 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: you feel worse about the Colts tying the Texans compared 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: to that feeling you had immediately after the draw on Sunday. Well, 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: I probably feel better as the week went on because 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I think with the exception of missing the kick, we 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: actually ended it on a really good note. And you know, 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: and for twenty five minutes at the end of the game, 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: inclusive of the ten minute overtime, I mean, I thought 25 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: we played like we can play. I mean, we look 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: like the team that we expected, and we basically won 27 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: that phase of the game seventeen to nothing. So I 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: guess in the end it ended better. In terms of execution. 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: You always talk about execution, and there was, you know, 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: the first thirty five minutes of the game or forty 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: five minutes of the game, it was just we didn't execute, 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: we didn't do simple things. Well was so disappoint pointing, 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: But we did finish on a much higher note if 34 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: you just evaluate execution. I will tell you this. It's 35 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: just as a sidebar. You know, I'm always very conservative 36 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: in terms of changing the game and changing rules and 37 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: changing overtime rules and doing this. But I'm not sure 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you shouldn't play until 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: it's over, until there is a victor eyes Honest to god, 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: I didn't think I would say that, but first of all, ties, 41 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, ties after the ten minutes are so rare. 42 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean the last one. My god, I was a 43 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: rookie coach in the NFL in nineteen eighty two. That's 44 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: forty years ago. So it doesn't happen that much. It's 45 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: not like you're gonna wear guys out until the end. 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: And I don't know, necessarily, maybe there would be an 47 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: alteration after the ten minutes, maybe a get more like 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: high school or college. But you know, at the end 49 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: of the day, I mean, you know, really and truly 50 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: I think that you I think there ought to be 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: an outcome at the end of the game, a winner loss. Well, 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: that's certainly been changed for the playoffs. Yeah, well, I mean, 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: obviously you have to have a winner in the playoffs, 54 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: but in terms of the format, that overtime format has 55 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: been changed for the postseason. But kind of like the 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: fact that there is a tie. I mean, think about 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: all the things that I mean, the ties are so rare. 58 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: Think about all the things that have to happen in 59 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: order for a game to be tied. That's that's kind 60 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: of why I like the fact that if no one's 61 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: up to the task to win a game, out right 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: in regulation and overtime. From a player's safety standpoint, seventy minutes. 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: To me, that's plenty considering now we're playing seventeen games 64 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: in the regular season. Matt. We give them the ball 65 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: twice on their forty right, right, this starts what I'm saying. 66 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: They can't score, right, and the culture field goal right. 67 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Credit to our defense, you know, credit to the defense 68 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: that we didn't make it, and then we we miss 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: a chip shot. I just I just feel like, you know, 70 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: if it's good enough for the playoffs at some point, 71 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, I just think it's so rare, it's not 72 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: going to happen that much. Let's play it on out. 73 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: But what the hell, let's get into this, Jackson questioning, Yeah, 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much to build on from this game. Rick, 75 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Let's start on offense, then we'll go to defense. But 76 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: when the Colts had the ball, they still did some 77 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: things well, I mean a lot of things. Well, thirty 78 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: three first downs, most as a franchise since two thousand, 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: five hundred and seventeen yards of offense. That leads the 80 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: NFL through one game. Matt Ryan, a three hundred yard passer. 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor ran for a buck sixty Michael Pittman Junior 82 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards in receiving Naim Hines was a 83 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: matchup problem for the Texans in Week one. Tell me 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the good and the not so good from Houston on 85 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: offense from the first game, Well, you're exactly right. I 86 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: mean it was really a big day offensively. If you 87 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: look at it statistically, the thirty three first downs, five 88 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen yards and that's three forty passing and 89 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: one seventy seven. When do you not win a game? 90 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: You know, when you have that much yard it's just 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. And one thing I did, like one thing 92 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: that we've been pour at, one thing that really reversed 93 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: itself Sunday was fourth quarter dominance. We've been just the 94 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: opposite on that, so you know, I like that part 95 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: of it. You you chronicled in a way. I mean 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: JT was sensational. Again. He just he just stacks games 97 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: on top of games. I mean there's no there's no 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: fluke in his play. He's a guy that you know, 99 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: you give him the ball and he puts your team 100 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: on his back. You know. Pittman just continues to grow 101 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: into that top tier receiver in the NFL. He's improved 102 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: as much as anybody that I've seen around here in 103 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: a long time. We did find good ways to use Hines. 104 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: You saw, you saw the matchup problem that he gives people. 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: I mean he was able to make critical one on 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: one beating people one on one and making critical catches, 107 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: you know, late in the game. And I actually thought, 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: and this is just me, I actually thought our offensive 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: line was fairly solid. I mean, we didn't get the 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty seventeen yards by accident, and really 111 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: there was only one on true sack. The one sack 112 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: was a bootleg run down, you know, which was just 113 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: a good play by Jerry Hughes. But there was really 114 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: only one legitimate sack in the game. And you know, 115 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: you have fifty throws, so I mean, that's not all 116 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: that bad. I thought we blocked the run pretty well. 117 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: I thought our tight ends did fine. I thought they 118 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: blocked well within the running game scheme. They weren't featured 119 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: much in the passing game. That did what they were asked. 120 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: But you know, I thought those obviously were the good things, 121 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, the bad things, you know, you know, all 122 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: with the exceptions of the place kick. The bad things 123 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: offensively just all happened in that first part of it. 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: We just can't. You can't have three botch snaps. I mean, 125 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: and you're talking about one pro bowler to another pro bowler. 126 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's like you don't see it 127 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: in sixth grade football. That's just absolutely it didn't happen 128 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: during training camp either. That's the execution you're talking about, 129 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: whether it's tightness at the game, whatever it is. You know, 130 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: two turnovers, you know, one good play by Jerry Hughes, 131 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: second one unforced there on the snap. You know, we 132 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: talked about this. This got us in trouble early. Lack 133 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: of finishes. Um, you know we we had several opportunities 134 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: inside their forty uh, didn't finish with scores two for 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: five at the end of the day. On the red zone, 136 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know we can't drop passes. I mean, 137 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: if you catch either one of the if if if 138 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: if Pierce catches a lay up there, if if Duelan 139 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: catches the ball late, um, you know, the game's over. 140 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you just have to make two routine plays 141 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: and it's over. Um the fourth and two and I've 142 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: talked to frank about this. I I was for going 143 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: for it. You know, you can you can dice that 144 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: up anyway you want to. Um, I felt like, hey, 145 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: I think I felt like he did that if we 146 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: got the seven there and put him down ten nothing, 147 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: that they would probably fold emotionally. But I just I 148 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: totally did not like the play call. I don't like 149 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: finesse wildcat in a critical situation. If you want to 150 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: use it fourth, you know, first in goal as a 151 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: change up, something to confuse him, I'm fine with that. 152 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: But on fourth and two my thinking is players over 153 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: plays gets your either your best whatever, your best players 154 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: to Taylor or whatever, your best players to Pittman, you know, 155 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: and basically run it. And then I would say that 156 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: the you know, the final thing I don't think was 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: necessarily a problem in this game, but I think it 158 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: could be a problem is we do we are going 159 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: to have to diversify the offense something. There's some guys 160 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: have to you know, have to be featured at some point. 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to see Paris Campbell play more 162 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: way more overdueling, and you know, if Paris isn't quite ready, 163 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: which I know that was an anomaly. He never dropped 164 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the balls in preseason. But if he's nervous, if he's 165 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: not ready to get strong in there strong. It's not 166 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: too big for strong. He goes in there and does 167 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: whatever we ask. So you know, it was a tale 168 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: of two cities. First forty five minutes, like you said, 169 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: all about bad execution, We execute the last twenty five 170 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: and dominant the game. All right. On defense, same kind 171 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: of thing. He's kind of started off good, then slow, 172 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: then good again. They gave up some yards and points 173 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: in the middle quarters, but exceptional in the fourth quarter 174 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: and and overtime, especially after special teams kept putting the 175 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: defense in a bad spot. Quittypey had two sacks and 176 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: overtime his first career multi sack game. EJ. Speed had 177 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: his first career sack induced a fumble striped sack picked 178 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: up by Forrest Buckner. Zaire Franklin played really tough led 179 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: the Colts and tackles with eight. They held the ground 180 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: game in check from Houston, giving up only about seventy 181 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: seven yards. So your pluses and minuses from the defense 182 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: in Gus Bradley's debut with the Colts, Yeah, from the 183 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, from that point that hack makes the Hawk 184 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: makes the great punt down to the one that Steward 185 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: goes down and downs. From that point on, I think 186 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: that was six minutes to go in the third quarter. 187 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: You know, from that time to the end of the overtime, 188 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: it was shut down defense and they were, you know, 189 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: a lot of tough situation. As I said, you know, 190 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the ball started at their forty near their forty three 191 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: times in that period that you know, basically was a 192 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: sudden death period, and the defense held. You know, I thought, 193 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: you know, obviously it was great to see Quitty come 194 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: on late. We didn't have much pressure during the game, 195 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: but at the end there when we needed it. It 196 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: was really good to see him win the one on ones, 197 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: and he did win the one on ones basically with 198 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Howard to get it. I thought Speed's overall play and 199 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: then the strip sack was outstanding. You said it, Franklin, 200 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: I think is playing really tough there in the middle. 201 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: Gilmore is really really playing up to his reputation. And 202 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: I really like the fact that there were a lot 203 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: of periods in that game, particularly on the man coverages, 204 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: where we flopped him and basically we matched him to 205 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: Cook's side. I think that's going to be really important 206 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: to put him on the go to guy as we 207 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: get going forward. Stuart is really good and I can't 208 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: I've always say I can't say enough about his play, 209 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: but his third and one stop there at the end 210 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: before the Love he punted on fourth down, really was 211 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: a great play. And it's even better play when I 212 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: watch it on tape because when they run the little 213 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: zone play to their right, they actually have it blocked. 214 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: They're easily going to get a yard easily, and Stewart 215 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: comes around the center we call it a swim technique, 216 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: comes around the centers center's left side and cuts it 217 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: over to his left and makes that stop actually for 218 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: a yard loss or a little bit of a loss. 219 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: And that's when Love he decided not to give the 220 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: game up and punted. But it would have been a 221 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: moot point if Stewart doesn't make that great play, because 222 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: they're going to be first down right there with a 223 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: whole new set of downs to go. I thought Cross 224 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: had a very good start in his opener in the 225 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: overall run defense seventy seven yards. You gotta like that. 226 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: So again, from six minutes to go in the third 227 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: quarter to the end of the overtime. It was shut down, 228 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: all right, oo and one for the Colts after a 229 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: week one, So let's head to the Jaguars. They're up 230 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: next in week number two. Let's turn the page and 231 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: talk about it, because it's back to back AFC South 232 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: road games for the Colts to start the season. The 233 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars lost to the Commanders last week twenty eight to 234 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: twenty two. And for what it's worth, Rick, the Jags 235 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: have lost seventeen straight games to NFC teams in eighteen 236 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: straight games on the road. Now, I know Sunday will 237 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: be neither. It's an AFC South game for the Colts 238 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: and Jaguars, and it's a home game for Jacksonville. But 239 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: they were three and fourteen last season, finished last in 240 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: the AFC South and with the worst record in football, 241 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: and they still split the season series last year with 242 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: the Colts. The home team won every game. We know 243 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: about Week eighteen. We know about the fact that the 244 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Colts have not topped the Jaguars on the road since 245 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. They've got a new head coach in Doug Peterson. 246 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: He won a Super Bowl with the Eagles. Frank Reich 247 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator on that tea. Trevor Lawrence is 248 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: back for year number two, and they've really bolstered the 249 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: team around him. They've added Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, 250 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: tight end Evan Ingram, cornerback Darius Williams, right guard Brandon Schurf, 251 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: linebackers Foyer Olacone, Trey Von Walker, the first overall pick 252 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd. All of those guys rick make this team 253 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: significantly better. So what else stands out to you about 254 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: the Jaguars heading into a pivotal Week two as we 255 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: take a look at them on the big picture. Well, 256 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: I think the two things that you have to concern 257 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: yourself with if you're coaching the game is, first of all, 258 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: you know you've chronicled all the acquisitions they've made, and 259 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: they have to me they have more potential game changing 260 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: players than the Texans do. The Texans play very well collectively, 261 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: they got a great three quarters out of their quarterback. 262 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: But I think the Jaguars have more guys between the 263 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: offense and the defense than can affect the game. They're 264 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: going to be improved because of those acquisitions, and I 265 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: think because of the majority of the quarterback now maybe 266 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: even most importantly, which you could put number one. It's 267 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: basically hiring a real professional football coach. I don't think 268 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: there's any doubt about it. You bring in you bring 269 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: in Doug Peterson, who basically has won a Super Bowl. 270 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: I think his record is something around forty six and forty. 271 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: But he brings a real professional into what was total dysfunction. 272 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: There's no question about that. So I see a vastly 273 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: improved team. The Commander's game was theirs to be had. 274 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: They had him twenty two to fourteen, and basically the 275 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: Commanders pulled it out. They threw a hope to hell 276 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: at the end. Dotson makes a phenomenal catch at the 277 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: very end and they lose the ball game. But basically 278 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: they it was their game to win. I think number 279 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: two is history. Is history, it means something. In the 280 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: last four games, you know, they've won two of them, 281 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: even though they haven't beat hardly anyone else. They beat 282 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the Colts twice and in both cases they dominated the game. 283 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: In the first game last year, we were one play 284 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: away from losing that game. So we have really struggled 285 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: with the matchup with this team. So I don't you know, 286 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a very I won't say dangerous game. 287 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: I think we got to quit talk in that way. 288 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: I think what it is is another big NFL game 289 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: that we've struggled in, and we've struggled down there, so 290 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, we really have to have our a game. 291 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: We've got to clean up a lot of things that 292 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: you know weren't there. But this is a This is 293 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: just a much much better team than I think than 294 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: they were last year. I think they'll win significantly more games, 295 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: no question about that. I said they're deceptively loaded on offense, 296 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: and that's where we're going to talk about right now. 297 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Let's break out the blueprints and begin with the Jags 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: when they have the ball. But they had the worst 299 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: offense last year in the NFL, scoring under fifteen points 300 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: per game. They weren't spectacular and running or throwing the 301 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: ball twenty eighth on third down, twenty ninth and red zone, 302 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: so not very good in situational football. The offense didn't 303 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: do the defense many favors throughout the season because they 304 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: went three and out twenty six percent of the time. 305 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: That was thirty first. The defense was on the field 306 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: for about thirty three minutes per game. However, this offseason 307 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: they've added Press Taylor. He's the offensive coordinator. He was 308 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: on the Colts offensive coaching staff last year. Zay Jones 309 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: through free agency, Christian Kirk massive deal and free agency, 310 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram as a tight end. James Robinson his back 311 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: after finishing last year on IR with a torn achilles, 312 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: and then Travis Etn missed all of last season as 313 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: a rookie with a Liz Frank injury. He's back. He's 314 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: sort of like their version of Naem Hines as a 315 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: pass catcher and a runner. So give us your muss 316 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: on defense for the Colts to take advantage of the 317 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: Jaguars in this game. Rick, Yeah, I think that. I 318 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: think you're exactly right. I think what's kind of hidden 319 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: here is they're getting two impressive players back. You know 320 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: that were there and that we're both injured a year ago. 321 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question that Robinson is a very, 322 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: very good back. This is I think the only kid 323 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: ever to be an undrafted free agent to gain a 324 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: thousand yards. I mean, remember he had a thousand yards game, 325 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: thousand yards season into twenty and then missed the majority 326 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: of last season at the end, missed the whole season, 327 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: and it gives them two complimentary backs. Robinson is a 328 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: real slasher. He's really key. Can he can bang it 329 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: up in there, but we learned in that first game 330 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: in two and twenty he is dangerous to bounce to 331 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: the outside. He's got great vision, he's short, he's compacted, 332 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: but he sees the gaps. He can bounce it and 333 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: at the end is very much like Hines. He's a 334 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: space player. They're going to run him on more perimeter stuff, screens, 335 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: things that create space with him because he is a 336 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: home run hitter if he gets it out there. So 337 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, just by addition from their own team, they've 338 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: really improved their running back situation, you know, tenfold. Now 339 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: in terms of receiver, you're exactly right. You know, the 340 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: their go to guy, and I think he's still the 341 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: go to guy. But their go to guy a year 342 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: ago was Marvin Jones, who's been around a long time. 343 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: Marvin had seventy three catches a year ago. Now, they 344 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: went out and they got Christian Kirk. Remember now, and 345 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: people criticize the deal, but Christian had seventy seven catches 346 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: a year ago. And then they add Zay Jones, who 347 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: had forty seven catches and he had a really big 348 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: game against the Colts last year with the Raiders A 349 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: Jones A big game, absolutely, and so you know when 350 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: you when you add all that up, I think I 351 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: did it. It's it's three guys with one hundred and 352 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: ninety seven catch his thirty three hundred yards and ten touchdowns. 353 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: So you know they they've made strides there. Ingram is 354 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: a very good athlete. You know, they've tried to fix 355 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line. They paid Schurf at right guard quite 356 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: a bit of money. They drafted fort and really high 357 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: at center, and so you know they have Robinson at 358 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 1: one guard at tackle, Taylor at the other. Those are 359 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: investment players. So on offense there there's there's a lot 360 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: of tools there. Now the biggest key is who is 361 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: the quarterback? Okay, Lawrence is a guy who has immense talent. 362 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean he has physical tools, you know, similar to 363 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Now that'll sound her radical, but he's huge. 364 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: He can throw it a mile, he can run it 365 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: a mile. This is a guy with immense talent. This 366 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: is a guy, though at this stage in his career, 367 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: has those up and downs. Now against us, the best 368 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: game of his career through for seventy two percent. He 369 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: was eight for sixteen on third down, he had one 370 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: hundred and eleven passer rating twenty three of thirty two. 371 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he was two touchdown passes. He was tremendous, 372 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Now, he's capable of those things, 373 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: but he's also capable of inconsistencies. He's a guy who 374 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: comes out of the college spread offense. He wasn't asked 375 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: to do a bunch of reading and true drop back passing. 376 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: He's more of a zone read bootleg guy. And so 377 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: that's the part of his game that is underdeveloped and 378 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: gets him in trouble. Okay, in terms of the must 379 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: when you look at him number one, to me, you've 380 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: got to be disciplined and you have to stop those 381 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: two runners. You gotta keep disciplined all the way because 382 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: both those guys, if you lose an edge, they can 383 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: pop it to the outside and go. Robinson is a slasher. 384 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, he had six yard average last week at 385 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: n had eleven yard average when they carried the football. So, 386 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean, these are two really good backs. If they 387 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: get running the ball, you know, just like last week, 388 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: it will take it takes pressure away from off the 389 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: quarterback and the offensive line. Another guy to be really 390 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: alert for. And this guy turned around the first game 391 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: last year. Thank goodness, we held on and won it, 392 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: but we were starting to dominate the game. And if 393 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: you remember, Agnew came in number thirty nine, they ran 394 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: him on a sweep and he ran like sixty yards 395 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: for touchdowns, a long run for a touchdown. So you 396 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: have to be alert when Agnew is in the game 397 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: for gadgets, okay, quick screens, reverses plays that he can 398 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: come back in the backfill and run. He's kind of 399 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: a he's kind of a hybrid half a wide out, 400 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: half a running back. But again, you want to stop 401 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: that running game cold. I think if we can get 402 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: this team into a one dimensional game, I think all 403 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: their awards from the quarterback to the offensive line will 404 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: will come out right away. Number two and this is 405 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: really critical. There's two things really critical in this game. 406 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: And I didn't get into the defensive negatives, but I'm 407 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: going to hit just a couple of them to make 408 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 1: sure that we haven't fixed one. We have not been 409 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: a good team against bootleg quarterbacks. Boot quarterbacks who can 410 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: fake it and get out on the edge and then 411 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: we have this was disgraceful last week, the two touchdown 412 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: passes to Howard. We have to fix that seam coverage. 413 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: When you're in three dep you have to have somebody 414 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: that either runs with the seam underneath or reroutes the seam. 415 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: You cannot let this happen. And I warned them it 416 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: happened against Tampa, and you got to make sure that's fixed. 417 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: But so the first thing coming all the way back 418 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: on that, the second must is you have to set 419 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: the edge on this kit. You don't want to let 420 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: him get out. They're gonna threaten you with that bootleg 421 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: right off the bat. They're gonna come out hard on 422 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: a boot eight to his right or boot nine to 423 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: his left, and they come out hard with it, and 424 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: he will throw the crossing patterns, he'll throw the outcut 425 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: to play side. But if you don't defend him, he's 426 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: a kid that can run for thirty yards, not for 427 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: five and step out of bounds. He can go and 428 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: he will take it down in there. And the other 429 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: reason it's not just stopping that play. You don't want 430 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: to let him get out there and gain confidence because 431 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: he's very comfortable out on the edge. That's what he 432 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: did in college. He ran those zone reads, he ran 433 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: those bootlegs, he ran those rollouts, and he is really comfortable. 434 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: And if you don't deny that early in the game, 435 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: then he builds confidence like he did in that game 436 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: last year, and then everything he does gets better. So 437 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 1: I can't emphasize setting the edge. If we have to 438 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: bring five early and literally set it, that's fine with me. 439 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: But I don't want this kid to get any confidence 440 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: because he you know, because he can get out on 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: the edge. Now. Once we do that, I mean, his 442 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: inconsistencies will come out and he can he I've seen him. 443 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: I saw him unravel last week and when they had 444 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: to lead, he threw a terrible interception. I mean, I 445 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: think if you again, if you keep him in the 446 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: pocket and pressure him inside on there what I'm going 447 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: to talk about that in a minute. On their offensive line, 448 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: I think that he gets that deer in the headlight look, 449 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: he can get confused. I don't think he's processed the 450 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: NFL game yet even now, and I think he'll give 451 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: the ball away. But again, it all starts with clothesing 452 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: his edges and cutting his legs off. Make him be 453 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: a true NFL quarterback for four quarters and I think 454 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: will be okay number three. These receivers are what they 455 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: are is basically, they're all possession guys. They're all very 456 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: good route runners. They're real solid NFL receivers with good hands. 457 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: They can finish plays, they and run routes. None of 458 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: them are burners. Okay, none of them are burners. So 459 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: to me, what we want to do is we want 460 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: to really close these guys down. We want to really 461 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: I like a lot of press coverage. I want to 462 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: play sticky on these guys. I don't want to get 463 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: them here. I don't want to play scared. If you 464 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: play scared and play a lot of soft zones, they're 465 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: gonna find those spots in there and they're gonna catch 466 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: the football, you know, and again they use them all. 467 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: It's it's it's pretty balanced right now, you know. I 468 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones had six in Zay Jones I think had six, 469 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: and then and then Kirk Head four or something like that. 470 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: But they had sixteen catches between them. But again, crowd them, 471 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: don't be afraid, don't be afraid to blitz and press 472 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: and make it really really tough on those guys. I 473 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, smother these receivers, 474 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: don't let them get going. And then I think number 475 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: four is you got to select actively and creatively attack 476 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Now I wouldn't be afraid of 477 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: a lot of five man rush here because again you 478 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: get edge setters, and then you don't give up any 479 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: rush lanes inside to the runner. The other thing I 480 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: like is I want to create the one on ones inside. 481 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: They are decent at tackle, although I think Robinson he 482 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: had a lot of trouble at left tackle last week 483 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: with movement. If you start up and come in on him. 484 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: He's always had trouble with athleticism. So and Gokuy has 485 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: got to get some moves going this week. Start him up, 486 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: come back under. On the other side, you just have 487 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: to relentlessly work on Taylor. Taylor's a talent, he was 488 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: a high draft pick, but he gets lazy feet late 489 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: in the down and so Quitty's a good matchup for 490 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: him because Quitty is relentless and you just have to 491 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: keep coming. But that's the highlight of their team. Where 492 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: I think they really struggle is inside. And it doesn't 493 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: matter whether it's Bart or Shatley, it's going to be 494 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: one of the two of them. They go back and 495 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: fourth at left guard, but that is their number one weakness. 496 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: Get Buckner on him, you know, let's let's be creative 497 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: in that front with some rush plan and get Buckner 498 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: on a mismatch there. I think Fortner is going to 499 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: be a good center, but he's struggling because of inexperience. 500 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: He's only in his second game. And then Surf is 501 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: a better run blocker. He's a road grading run blocker, 502 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: but he struggles with movements. So again, I wouldn't be 503 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: afraid of bring five, set the edges on the outside 504 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: and then twist and turn those inside three and I 505 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: think you'll be able to get after this quarterback and 506 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: force him into interceptions. You can. The biggest thing here 507 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: is control first down, force them into one dimensional, second 508 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: and long, third and long. I think you'll get the turnovers. 509 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: Remember they were thirty second in turnover differential a year ago, 510 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: and we have to we have to make them fulfill 511 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: that number. Yeah, and Trevor Lawrence led the NFL at 512 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: least tied for dead last in the NFL in interceptions 513 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: thrown last year with seventeen of them. That's Rick vent Terry. 514 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: This is inside football, and let's talk about the Jaguars now. 515 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: On defense, they've got a new coordinator on that side 516 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: of the ball as well, Mike Caldwell, someone that you 517 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: know very well, former Buccaneers linebacker coach. That unit was 518 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: unspectacular last season. They were mediocre and defending the run 519 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: and the pass. They gave up sixty seven big plays 520 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: over twenty yards. As you said, they were minus twenty 521 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: in the turnover margin. They only had nine takeaways on 522 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: defense all season. Both of those figures were dead last 523 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. However, if you look at him personally 524 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: or individually, they've got guys that can wreck the game. 525 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen sacked the Colts twice last year. He has 526 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty and a half sacks for his career since twenty nineteen. 527 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: Trey Von Walker, the first pick in the draft out 528 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: of Georgia, had a sack, a pick, and a tackle 529 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: for loss against the Commanders last year in his first 530 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: ever game. Linebacker foy Yer Olacon led the NFL and 531 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: tackles with one hundred and ninety two of them last season. 532 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: He also had three picks and also too the back 533 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: end in that secondary. It's what I'm calling again, deceptively talented. 534 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: With Shaquille Griffin, Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco and ray Sean Jenkins. 535 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: Rick give us the must for the Colts offense to 536 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: get off to a good start and beat this revamp 537 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. Yeah, you're right about that. I mean, that 538 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: was a good rundown on this team. Mike Callwell, who 539 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: worked with Peterson in Philadelphia, as you said, was the 540 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: assistant to Todd Bowles in Tampa, so he has a real, 541 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: real background. He actually played for me in ninety four 542 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: ninety five as a young will linebacker with the Cleveland Browns. 543 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: Mike is a real smart guy and he really has 544 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: them flying around. If you look at them play defense, 545 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: they are really flying around. And you're right, this is 546 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: a team that is assembling and the system works when 547 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: you when you have you know, were records, you end 548 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: up drafting really high and if you're smart with what 549 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: you do, which they have been, you're going to assemble 550 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: some talent. There's no question about it. And believe it 551 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: or not, despite those terrible statistics, they have played good 552 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: up front against us. Last year, they played extremely well 553 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: up front. They handled us in a lot of situations 554 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: last week and that last year, and that's you know, 555 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: that scares me a little bit in that regard. And 556 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: I think when you when you look at their front, 557 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Alan is a premier Sam backer. He's all. 558 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: He's kind of a throwback thirty four guy. He can play. 559 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: He can stand up and play that Sam tough backer. 560 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: He can put his hand in the dirt and rush 561 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: on the edge. And again he sacked us a year ago. 562 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: He was a thorn in our side. And then they 563 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: go out in draft Walker number one deep pick in 564 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: the draft, and you know he's brought great athleticism from Georgia. 565 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: He can rush on the outside, they can kick him in. 566 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. Great debut sack, tackle for loss, and 567 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: interception all. You know, that's a hat trick in his 568 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: first ballgame. And then guys that I think are kind 569 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: of deceptively good is Smoot. When they get on third 570 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: and long and he goes in and plays tackle. And 571 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: now they've taken Arlen Key, who was a bust at 572 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: defensive end and they've kind of moved him into the 573 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: tackle position. When they get in those third down deals 574 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: and so it's a pretty presentable rush, which I'm going 575 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: to get into here in a minute. It good linebackers, 576 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: like you said, lacun it was the leading tackler. You know. 577 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: They drafted Lloyd really high second pick. He can go, movement, 578 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: can go. They're good there, and you're exactly right. It 579 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: is an underrated secondary with two pretty good corners, you know, 580 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: in Campbell and Griffin. Williams is okay. I think he's 581 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: just okay at the nickel, and then their safeties are 582 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: very tough. I think they're vulnerable inside to the past, 583 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: but they're very, very tough now philosophically what they do, 584 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: and this is important to know because I think it 585 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: dictates how you attack them. If you're in your base 586 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: personnel and they're in their basic defense okay, non nickel defense, 587 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of what we call 588 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: double sink, and they did that a year ago. Calwell 589 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: loves it. And when we say double sink fans, what 590 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: we mean is two guys on the edge, and that 591 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: will be Walker, and that will be Alan and then 592 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: the big three inside, which is Hamilton, Vadakuzi and Robertson 593 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: Harriffs who played really well against US last year. And 594 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: then the two linebackers, and what they do is they 595 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: cover your guards and centers, and what that does is 596 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: that freezes everybody and lefts those linebackers run to the ball. 597 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: Now you avoid coverage because those two guys up front 598 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: that are on the outside are either rush or they're 599 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: dropping from tough spots, so they're vulnerable to the fast, 600 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: but they're very very hard to run on. And then 601 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: if you go Nickel, then Williams comes in the game. 602 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: They'll keep those guys. It's if it's a first down, 603 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: but if third down, they bring in what I call 604 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: the NASCAR package, which is really for them four defensive ends, 605 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: and then it's a little bit different look. And Mike 606 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: really he really played Vanilla in the summer. I mean, 607 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: I think the coverage scheme was really really simple, but 608 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: they really expanded it in the opener. I mean, there 609 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: was a lot more sophistication in the coverage. If they 610 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: get to second and third down where they get some advantage, 611 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But to me, okay, here 612 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: are the must you know, I honest to God with Jonathan, 613 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: of course, you know, we always have to we always 614 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: have to be able to run the football. I mean, 615 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: he is our bell cow. He is a sensational player, 616 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: and there's a couple of ways to run it against them. 617 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: I think when they're in their overdefense, which is primarily 618 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: their nickel Okay, then you want to run at that 619 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: open side bubble, just like most people do. You want 620 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: to pound it right in there in the bubble, right 621 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: at those linebackers. That's the vulnerability. When they're in their 622 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: double sync, which is in our regular stuff, then you 623 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: have to beat that off tackle directly. It's hard to 624 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: run inside because they cover anybody, and it's not easy 625 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: to run outside because they free the linebackers up. So 626 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: what you want to do is you want to stab 627 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: right in the c gap with powers in leads and 628 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: counter trays and get right up in there in that hole. Now, 629 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: my thinking is, if I'm playing this game on offense, 630 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to play the what I call wrong. What 631 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: do I mean by play wrong? If we're in base Okay, 632 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: when we're in base, when we have our tight ends 633 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: in the game, I really want to be thrown the football. 634 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: I want to make it tough for those outside backers 635 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: to get out in their coverage. They'll play a lot 636 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: of one free or they'll play a three without a dropper, 637 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: a fire zone three, so they're really vulnerable to the past. 638 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: The play pass will suck up seven on the outside. 639 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: It's almost always one on one on first down. And 640 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: even though I respect the corners, I think you have 641 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: to go on them, you know, dots and beat Campbell 642 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: a couple of times. Uh you know, they beat Griffin 643 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: a couple of times in the Washington game. So I 644 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: think when if you when you go with your regular personnel, 645 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: I think that's really where you want to throw the 646 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: rock on first down. And then when you go in 647 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: your nickel, when they've got their nickel out there and 648 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: they're expecting pass and they're rushing the passer, that's when 649 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: you want to run it. That's what That's what I 650 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: mean by by play them wrong. And you may really 651 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: emphasize nickel this week three wide receivers or at least 652 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: times in the game with Jonathan because if they go nickel, 653 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: they really reduce the amount of heavy front they play. 654 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: So I think you got to bang away, you got 655 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: to make that running game go, You got to dominate 656 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: the front. But I think you have to be smart 657 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: and versus that double sync. Don't don't be stubborn. Now again, 658 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: Number two I think on those early downs is where 659 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: you have to gash them with the play action because 660 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: again they're thinking run. They gotta stop Jonathan, they gotta 661 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: fire up there. They got to get linebackers and safeties involved. 662 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be areas behind them, and that's where we 663 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: have to also challenge the corners. And I'm going to 664 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: go back to this because I think in the long run, 665 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: we gone it. We didn't do it Sunday. We're gonna 666 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: have to challenge those corners on the outside. Or what's 667 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen is we're gonna get in this routine and 668 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: it's sometimes successful. But if you end up playing that 669 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: game just so tight and never threatening that outside, it 670 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: will catch up with you against smart coordinators and so 671 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: forth and so on. There's also some things to do 672 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: smart wise when you're in your when they're in their 673 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: base defense. Use a lot of slot formation, two receivers together. 674 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: Now why do I say that, because if they're in 675 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: man coverage, what happens the corners have to come over 676 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: and the corners will show you man versus his own. 677 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: So if you're going to be in your two tight endsets, 678 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: getting your two tight endsets with a slot so that 679 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: Matt knows ahead of time, he'll have a good idea 680 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: whether he's looking at man or zone. And then when 681 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: you're in nickel and you're in three wide receivers, motion 682 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: the slot across early and let him reset. And if 683 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: that nickel goes with him, he's going to tell you something. 684 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: So those are just two things to give Matt a 685 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: good pre snap look when he's checking with me. Number three, 686 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: we've got to really protect it. The best thing to do, 687 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, I said it last week, I say it 688 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: every week, but this is really critical is try to 689 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: keep these guys out of that NASCAR package. And you 690 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: do that by moving the ball, sticking him on first 691 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: and second down. But now let's say we get behind 692 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: an account. Really got to do a great job of protection. 693 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: I need even keep people in a little bit at times, 694 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: because you're gonna be looking at Alan on one side, 695 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at Walker on the other side, 696 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at Smooth at tackle, and you're 697 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna be looking at Key in there and sometimes Chason, 698 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: I'll spell one of those guys, Matt. Every one of 699 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: those guys is a unique high draft pick. I mean, 700 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: Key wasn't end who failed, but now at tackle he 701 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: looks totally different. So the protection is gonna We're gonna 702 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: be taxed much more in this ball game. Last week 703 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: it was Jerry Hughes and nobody. This week, they've got 704 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: guys that can challenge you. So you have to do 705 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: a really good job. You know, Braden Smith has to 706 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: improve from last week. I thought overall, the protection wasn't bad. 707 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, I think Frank was smart. 708 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: He used Ryman Summity game. He said he was going 709 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: to do that. He did that. I thought Prior held 710 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: up pretty well. But everybody's going to get a stress 711 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: package here if we get behind in the camp account 712 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: and then of course anticipate blitzays. We have had trouble 713 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: with that second wave, and that's where Lloyd is really good, 714 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: the rookie out of Utah. He will come late and 715 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: he is very dangerous. And then I think, you know 716 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: number four, it's kind of a general thing, but it's 717 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: let's start fast. Let's just let's constantly stay ahead in 718 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: the count and don't don't give them a physical advantage. 719 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: If you get behind an account, they get their best, 720 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: fastest personality game. But number two, don't give them a 721 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: mental advantage. The biggest thing that we did with the 722 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: Texts and Sunday is by not finish them off early. 723 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: We gave them that that hang on the vine mentality 724 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: until they finally ran out of gas at the end 725 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: of seven innings. They were done. But that's what happens, 726 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: and that's what happened in Game seventeen last year. They 727 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: go down and score right away, they're high five and say, hey, 728 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: we're hey, we're not going home. We're a great team here, 729 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: and you have to get that mentality, keep them off 730 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: balance and just get after them with all you have, 731 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: get them on their heels, you know, mix it up 732 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: on first down so that you're not predictable, and just 733 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: rip the hell out of them, all right, Rick Venturry 734 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: on the Blueprints, Oh and D to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. 735 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: Here on Inside Football with RV to close out Rick. Obviously, 736 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: we we've talked about it. The Colts can play so 737 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: much better executional wise. They left a lot of points 738 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 1: on the field in Game one, but it is only 739 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: one game and one game does not a season make. 740 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: And now it's another huge AFC South game, and the 741 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: schedule is front loaded with AFC South games, which means 742 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: you've got to get these when you can, knowing there's 743 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: not a lot of margin for air towards the back 744 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: end of the season after Halloween. The Colts have to 745 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: get this one rick while they hopefully improved greatly from 746 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: week one to week two and make that big jump 747 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: that teams typically make from game one to game two. Yeah, 748 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: this is you know, you live in this league, you 749 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: live in one week capsules, and it's got to be 750 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: total focus. This has been a nemesis to hell with that, 751 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: let's fix that. Versus the Jags. You just kind of 752 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: mentioned that there's an old adage in football that I 753 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: totally believe exists is that you generally make more improvement 754 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: between game one and game two than the rest of 755 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: the season combined. And I think because of the way 756 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: the games change, lack of off season, lack of heavy contact, 757 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: very little preseason play, I think, and I said this 758 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: a million times in a preseason, We're not going to 759 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: know about this team till we play a really game. 760 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: We play a game for sixty minutes. Well, hell, we 761 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: played one for seventy minutes. But what it does is 762 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: it proves to you what you have to work on, 763 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 1: what are your flaws, what are your baselines, and normally 764 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: you make a gigantic improvement. And for us that has 765 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: to be a reality. Just remember this. The tie was 766 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: good in this sense. A loss would have been catastrophic. 767 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: A win this week in Jacksonville and you control all 768 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: the South again. The biggest thing is play with energy 769 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: and confidence. Don't go in there worried about it. It 770 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: just seems to me like sometimes when we go into 771 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: a must game against a perceived lesser opponent. I don't 772 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: know if it's playing tight, but we don't seem to 773 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: play with that confidence and flow early in the game. 774 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: Let's get going to hell with all that. Put that 775 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: behind us. Don't let them breathe dominate first down on 776 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. They're better when they can 777 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: get specialized people in the game or they're dealing with 778 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,919 Speaker 1: third and two. Make sure that we win that first down. 779 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: This is our time to play to our posential. The 780 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: time is now, The time is absolutely now. We dodged 781 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: a bullet because nobody won in the South last week. 782 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: So now we're starting the season again in Jacksonville, make 783 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: it count yep, no question, everybody gets the Mulligan winless 784 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: in the AFC South going into week number two across 785 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: the board, Rick vent Zury Inside Football, great breakdown on 786 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: the Jaguars and Rick, bring that sunscreen man, you know 787 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: all about that floor to sun now all right, let's go.

But right now 790 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, really more than our opponent, more 791 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: than anything else.
