Speaker 3: I you know, I miss it. I love football. It's

56
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 3: the best. There's nothing better than than being part of

57
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: a team. And I think football is the ultimate team game,

58
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: as we all know. But yeah, my body was just

59
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,320

00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you've I mean this sounds like

68
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: a weird question, but do you feel like you have

69
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,960

Speaker 3: So no complaints. There nothing that's you know, nagging me

75
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: too too bad. You know, there's things here and there

76
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: of course. But other than that, I you know, I

77
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't trade it, that's for sure.

78
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: What what do you miss most about the game, Like,

79
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: what's what's the hardest thing to reckon with that you

80
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: just you don't have this about football anymore because it

81
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: can't be replicated.

82
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, just the guys, you know, and just being around

83
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: the guys that you just don't realize it when you're

84
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: in it. Man, it's just you know, you're eating breakfast, lunch,

85
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: dinner with these guys most days. And the schedule, you know,

86
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: the schedule is really hard, but it's also someone telling

87
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: you where to be and what to do was comforting.

88
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: In a way. And you had it from you know,

89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: I've been doing it since. You know.

90
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: It kind of jumps into that in high school, right,

91
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: and then you get it even more so in college

92
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: and then the pros, you know, and it's just that's

93
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: what I did. I was a football player, you know,

126
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: No, I enjoy it still obviously and probably drive my

127
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: kids and my wife is crazy because I will pause

128
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: and rewind stuff and like hey, they're like, oh, let's

129
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: watch Jonathan run on this plate. No, let's watch most blocks.

130
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: Let's rewind this, and let's look at this backside cut

131
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: off by Mo like that's what sealed this run. And

132
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: you know they get it, you know, maybe a little

133
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: annoyed with me, but they they also they also let

134
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: me do it.

135
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: So it's watch this reach blockhoulder.

136
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: It's like a negative play, but I'll look at this

137
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: tight end block like that's that's what you want to do.

138
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: This is why the play work. Yeah, do you have aspirations?

139
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe get up the tellustrator and and do it.

140
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, we'll see.

141
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: I always joke with people that you know, I feel

142
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: like I got a PhD in football right by playing

143
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: this long and especially a PhD and playing tight end,

144
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: like you know, I know the position obviously from doing it.

145
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: For so long, so then it's like it's weird when

146
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: you stop because you don't use it anymore, right, So

147
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: it's trying to ways to use it.

148
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: And so it's find the outlet.

149
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I'm excited to do the show. I

150
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: think it'll be a lot of fun to talk some

151
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: football and share, you know, my thoughts on the Colts.

152
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: How hard was it, like, take me back, Maybe not

153
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: so much now, but in twenty twenty two, your first

154
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: year out, how hard was it to just sit in

155
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: the living room and watch it?

156
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it feels like because you go through

157
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: this a little bit as a player, like when you're

158
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: hurt as a player, you feel out of it, right,

159
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: you don't feel part of it, and you don't travel

160
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: with the team, and so it felt like I was

161
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: always just like an injured player because I knew everybody

162
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: on the team, knew the coaching staff in that season,

163
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: and it's like, so you feel almost like an injured

164
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: player watching from the outside end. But it was still

165
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: fun to watch the guys and get excited when you know,

166
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: my guys did good things and things like that.

167
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Well, like we said, we're kind of setting up who

168
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle is now post NFL career with the Colts.

169
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: For those that may have forgotten, I'm going to embarrass

170
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: you here, but I went back in my notes, went

171
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: back on the Matt Taylor archives of game prep here

172
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: and just kind of dug these out for those that

173
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: may have forgotten how good Jack Doyle was as a player.

174
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Let's keep in mind here among Colts tight ends all time,

175
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: my man here, number eighty four, you ranked third in

176
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: games played among all Colts tight ends. You rank third

177
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: and catches you are fifth, in receiving yards fourth and

178
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: touchdown catches third and first down receptions two Pro bowlers.

179
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: That was second all time among Colts tight ends, behind

180
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: only John mckew at five. And I found this to

181
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: be really interesting, because you know how I got my

182
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: Hoosier roots about me all right. Among Indiana natives to

183
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: ever play for the Colts, you rank first and games

184
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: played first in catches, first and touchdowns, and second in

185
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: receiving yards, behind only mister Heritage Hills himself. Kenvil Ken,

186
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean, did you realize, I mean, you

187
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: were so good man. Did you realize at the end

188
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: of your career just how high up you were among

189
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: tight ends.

190
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: Ever, No, I didn't know that stuff, so thanks for

191
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: saying that. I guess you know that's cool, but you

192
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: did it always does still we need to supply, yeah, right,

193
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: but no, yeah, you really, when you're in it, man,

194
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: you just try and play. And I really did try

195
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: to take the approach of one play at a time.

196
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, thinking of all that back, you know, I

197
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: always think on Labor Day weekend because I was a

198
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: waiver claim over Labor Day weekend, so my first day

199
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: as a cult was Labor Day. So something that that

200
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: weekend is, you know, always kind of special, yeah to

201
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: me and my wife Casey because she kind of went

202
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: through it with me, right, So it's always fun to

203
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: think back. And then you know, told me then that

204
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: it would have been a nine year career playing for

205
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: your hometown team.

206
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't have believed you. So so what

207
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: a fun run?

208
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is me talking right. I know

209
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to say this, and I don't want

210
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: to embarrass you, but again, I remember after you retired,

211
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: if you look at a criteria and a none of

212
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: official criteria for cult ring of honor, I mean you

213
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: check every box, Honest to god, you do. Yeah, hometown kid, durability, sustainability, production.

225
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600

226
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: You're here, Okay, You're finally here. There's a lot of

227
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: stuff yet that you have to go through to finally

228
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: get to the point where you can start game planning

229
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: and getting ready for the start of the regular season

230
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640

233
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: you said, going through training camp is training camp, right,

234
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 3: it gets monotonous, It's it's tough, it's mentally exhausting, it's

235
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 3: obviously physically exhausting.

236
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,439

245
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: you get the anxiety, start getting the nerves when you

246
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: start watching. You know, I remember, you know, when I

247
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 3: was playing, I'd always watch I'd always kind of start watching.

248
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880

251
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: How I'm gonna block this guy.

252
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: You know, you get those nerves and then you and

253
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: then you gain confidence through the week as as you

254
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: as you practice and do the reps and see the

255
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: plays and the schemes that the coaches have come up with,

256
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: right so it's just it's just the best man and

257

Speaker 3: football is the best and and and I can't wait

258
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: for it to get going.

259
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Who is a guy if you don't mind sharing, who

260
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: was a guy that maybe gave you some of that trepidation?

263
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: like to watch it and I'd watch, you know, obviously

264
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: the guy I'd be blocking mainly, the guys I'd be

265
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: blocking mainly, and then watching who was gonna cover me

266
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: and different things like that, and then even watching special

267

271
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: block right, not so much covers wasn't as important, but

272
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: always watching the guy who could up and under right,

273
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: and there's always a good guy, so.

274

Speaker 2: Focusing in on that.

275
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: But I always watch the guys that see you know,

276
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: guys are some guys are more physical, right like the

277

Speaker 3: the week so that when I'm practicing, I know, hey,

282
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: I got to really emphasize my footwork this week. If

283
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 3: I'm playing a guy that's more finesse, verse, if I'm

284
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,559

00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: position groups and as an offense. But how much film

297
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: study has to happen on your own, on your own

298
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: time in the evening.

299
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,480

305
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: a little bit less as a week goes on, because

306
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: you didn't want to watch too you know for me personally,

307
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: and every guy's different, but I didn't want to watch

308
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: too much and be overthinking right when I'm out there.

309

00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: five when you're in the building right there's you're practicing.

312
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: You know, you probably got to work out in there,

313
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: you gotta get treatment, you gotta eat lunch, Yeah, you

314
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: got it. And then it's like you have to watch

315
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: your practice right with your coaches and watch how that goes.

316
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: So there's only so much time you can get to

317
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: watch the opponent, right the coach is gonna have cut

318
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: ups for you and things like that. But being able

319
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: to just sit down and watch a whole game by yourself,

320
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: I think is really important.

321
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: So trying to watch.

322
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: Three games that usually the three previous games throughout that

323
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: week is very important in seeing who you're playing.

324
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: There are these old stories out there about how Peyton

325
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: Maning would go back and he would find out who

326
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator was. If he was a new guy,

327
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: he'd go back to you know, where he was and

328
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: the previous stops. Or if he was an O scene college,

329
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I could go back to, you know, if he was

330
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator at Tennessee or something. Right, just something

331
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: crazy like that. As a as a tight end, I mean,

332
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: do you is it that nuts?

333
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be. It can be. You know, you

334
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: see the DC.

335
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: You know, obviously I'm thinking from the offense side and

336
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: going against a defensive corner, so you see where the

337
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: DC's been, yeah, and who he's played, you know, who

338
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: he's coached with and who he worked under, right, and

339
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: then maybe like say he worked under a guy that

340
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: we played last year. I would watch that game against us, right,

341
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: and so things like that, you can pick up things

342
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: that kind of worked for them and and things the

343
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: wh'll probably try to use it to attack us in

344
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: the upcoming game. So, yeah, it is the coaching world

345
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: and the football world is very small, and everybody's kind

346
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: of intertwined in a way. So you got to kind

347
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: of find where where guys are intertwined, and so you

348
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: can find, you know, ways that they had success against you,

349
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: so you can, you know, try and counter it.

350
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: You know, one last thing about Week one prep that

351
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: I always find just fascinating because I think it's independent

352
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: to Week one, maybe more so than any other weeks, right,

353
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: because in the spring you've got three four weeks oh too,

354
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: and the mini camp, and then in the offseats excuse me,

355
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: than the summertime, you've got three four weeks of training camp,

356
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the joint practices, preseason games. But you know, the joint

357
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: practices and even training camp, it's not full speed, it's

358
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: not full tackle. Preseason games, the starters, the front line

359
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: guys are only playing a couple of series, depending on

360
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: the game and depending on the coach. Point is you go.

361
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I think the last Colts game in the regular season

362
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: was January sixth, January seventh, somewhere in there, this past January.

363
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: So you're basically going about nine months as an offensive

364
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: guys a tight end between playing a full four quarters,

365
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: flat out sixty to seventy plays. You're doing that for

366
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: the first time in nine months? Like, how hard is

367
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: that to do?

368
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

369
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: How much of a shock?

370
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: Is you know, you get a shock to you when

371
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: you're in it. You're fine, right because you've done the

372
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: work to prepare, you know, physically and conditioning and things

373
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: like that, and you'll get that at drenaline rush and

374
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: you'll feel out of breath after the first drive or whatever.

375
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: But then you come back around, but you are way

376
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: more sore. You know, people think you're more sore, as

377
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: in you are because injuries pile up at the end

378
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: of season. But after week one and week two, that's

379
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: when I was most sore, right, because it's like your

380
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: body hasn't calloused yet up to like the hitting and

381
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: the and the repetitiveness of it. And like you said,

382
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: playing sixty seventy snaps, there's a little bit of wear and.

383
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: Tear on there.

384
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: So it's it's fun to kind of get those first

385
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: couple of weeks out of the way so you can

386
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: kind of get calloused up and be in the routine,

387
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: be in the rhythm of playing football, you know, the

388
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: way it's supposed to be played.

389
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Do you like how most teams treat the preseason in

390
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: terms of playing time and a ramp up or is

391
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: it or is there something to that? Did you feel

392
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: as a player, you were adequately prepared to go all

393
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: out week one.

394
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I did.

395
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: I did, And I think we played a little more.

396
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a selling on. We played more when

397
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: I played, you know, yeah, back in my day. But

398
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: that no, I don't know. I think every guy is

399
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: such a hot It is a hot topic, and every

400
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: and everyone. It's so hard because there's not a one

401
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: size fits all, right, and every guy's different, and some

402
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 3: guys need more than others. I feel like if I

403
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: was getting my joint practices and and you know, getting

404
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 3: a lot of reps there and was healthy through training camp,

405
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: it was okay to do a couple series and I

406
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: felt I felt ready, right because I didn't want to

407
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: get hurt in preseason either, right, and then you know,

408
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: jeopardize the season.

409
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: So it's a fine line.

410
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 3: And then maybe some younger guys probably do need a

411
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: little more burnt. And I can't speak from a defensive guy,

412
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: because tackling is the job of a defensive player, right,

413
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: I mean at the end of the day, right, So

414
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: how do you replicate that versu an offensive player? You know,

415
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: replicating the blocking doesn't really change, and catching pass doesn't

416
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: really change, or trying to get open doesn't really change,

417
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: you know, from practice to a game. So I think

418
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: maybe defensive players could probably use a little more. The

419
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: defensiveuys are gonna be mad at me saying that they

420
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 3: should they should play more in preseason.

421
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: Than the offense.

422
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: Well, is an issue always and for everybody, right, But

423
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: then you come back and say, you know, ball scary

424
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: is an issue for an offensive guy because he hasn't

425
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: been tackled. You know, you'll see that'll happen. There will

426
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: be fumbles in week one, right, That's just what it is.

427
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Because injuries are always magnified week one. Everbody likes to say, well,

428
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: this is why guys are getting hurt, and it's so

429
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: it's football.

430
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the injury rate is one hundred percent. That's what

431
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: I would say, right, someone you always get hurt at

432
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: some point, but they yeah, I don't know. Like I says,

433
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: I think it's important for the job, the job of

434
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: the coaches and you know, the front office to come

435
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: up with a plan for each individual guy, right, And

436
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: I think that's the hard part. And like I said,

437
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: it's not a one size fits all and you got

438
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: to talk to the player too, and finding out what

439
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: they kind of need and going through preseason no doubt.

440
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: Well said, all right, let's talk about this season on offense.

441
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Let's go back to your wheelhouse. We're not talking tact

442
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: with Yeah, Jack Doyle, that far all right, Daniel Jones

443
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: is going to become the eleventh different quarterback to start

444
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: for this team in a game since the twenty nineteen season.

445
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: In case you had forgot my man, Jack Doyle here

446
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about working and preparing with quarterbacks.

447
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: Here's a list of Jack Doyle quarterbacks that he worked

448
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: with your career. Twelve different names.

449
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I said, I don't know if I can name him

450
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: off the top.

451
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, there's twelve different guys on that list. Yeah,

452

Speaker 1: twenty thirteen to twenty twenty one.

454
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: This is great.

455
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Any names on there that ring a bell or like

456
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: I forgot about that guy?

457
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: Maybe?

458
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the jo the Josh Freeman, Ryan Linley game. Yeah,

459
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the fifteen the red zone guy. Right, Well,

460
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: one guy was two minute yeah, and then the other

461
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: guy was kind of like bass plays. Yeah, It's like

462
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: Josh was the bass plays and then Lenley ran the

463
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: two minute and we.

464
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 2: Won that game. Yeah you did.

465
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 3: We won that week seventeen, that was against the Titans.

466
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: The Titans, I remember that. Yeah there, you know, that's crazy.

467
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: Charlie Whitehurst was always hilarious. Hilarious, man, hilarious. So that's

468
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: a fun list.

469
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's just to go to. That just goes to

470
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: show you that you know a thing or two about

471
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: working with different guys and what it takes to get

472
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: up to speed with a new quarterback. So walk us

473
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: through the process of what the skilled players on offense

474
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: are going through and what they have been going through

475
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: since March when Daniel Jones was signed and then went

476
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: through the o TA process and really indoctrinated himself pretty

477
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: well into this offense. What what has Daniel Jones done

478
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: to impress you? And how are all the other guys

479
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: on the offense skill player wise, you know, doing their

480
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: part to make sure that he has a good start

481
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: to decison.

482
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

483
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 3: The first way Daniel has impressed me is he's earned

484
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: the respect of the guys, you know, talking to the

485
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: guys like they're all in right, I mean all in

486
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 3: on him, and he's earned that from his work, right.

487
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: I think that's been the first thing, that's the first

488
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: way to earn respect from your teammates is to get

489
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: in there and work and to and to know what

490
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: you're doing right and and and be able to put

491
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: guys in the right positions to have successful place and

492
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: and and working with a new guy and trying to

493
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: figure out you just try to figure out what he

494
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: likes right and in ways you can help him because

495
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: the quarterback position is so hard and there's so much

496
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: on their plate. So what can I do to kind

497
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: of help you man? And and in turn, he's going

498
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 3: to do things to help me to get open and

499
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: and put me in the right position. So so I

500
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: think that's what guys like at Michael Pittman, who's who's

501
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 3: played with you know, he's been here since what you say,

502
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: since nineteen it's been how many different quarterbacks, Yeah, eleven,

503
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: So Pitt's you know, pitt came in twenty so he's

504
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: played with He's a perfect example of guy that's played

505
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: with a bunch of different quarterbacks. And just try to

506
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 3: figure out how how he likes how you come out

507
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: of breaks right, and and what's that little indicator he

508
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: likes to see when you're coming out of the break right,

509
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: so he knows when the you know, let go of

510
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: the ball, and and just seeing how he sees coverages

511
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: and and and what he expects from you. You know,

512
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: it's just different things like that, And that all comes

513
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: down to communication, right, So you got to be able

514
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: to talk to the guy and not come off a

515
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: certain way, right, and be able to get on the

516
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: same page.

517
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: Right. How about this angle though I never played in

518
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, played college football D three guy, right, It's

519
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: it's way lower, but I think it's still kind of

520
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the same where a senior year, we have a kid

521
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: come in, didn't play quarterback, but he played a really

522
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: important position. He transfers in he was going to play

523
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: a big time role on the team, and it just

524
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: took us a while to trust him, right, It took

525
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: us a while to kind of like believe him and

526
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: respect him. And he had to put in the work.

527
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: Into this kid's credit, he did. He worked his tail

528
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: off right, and by the time we were ready to

529
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: go and we the you know, the bullets were flying

530
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: after Labor Day like he was one of us.

531
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: Right.

532
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: So, Daniel Jones, in terms of that, how has he

533
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: shown you that he's come in he's the new guy,

534
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to bust his tail to earn

535
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: that respect. And how as as a former player, what

536
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: did you need to see in order for you to

537
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: give that to someone like Daniel?

538
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think Daniel's done everything right to this point, right,

539
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: and earning the respect and the word trust that's huge

540
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 3: in football, right as a teammate, And there's nothing more

541
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: important than being trusted by your teammates. And he's done

542
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: everything he can and how he's worked and how he's prepared,

543
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: but there's still the next step of doing it in

544
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: week one right and doing it when the you know,

545
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 3: live bullets are flying, right, they always say right and

546
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: in a real game, And and I have full faith

547
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: that's what he's gonna do. He's gonna earn the trust

548
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: of the guys by how he by how he plays

549
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: on Sunday and getting them in the right play and

550
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: his you know, his leadership out there. You know that

551
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: all things that fall on the quarterback, right, and he's

552
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: gonna do it with his guys, right, It's.

553
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: Not just him out there, right.

554
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: You know, great leaders in Quinton are going to lead

555
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 3: the way to and and Pitt and Jonathan On all.

556
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: You know, speaking of guys on office, they're gonna they're

557
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 3: gonna rally around him too and get that group to

558
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: to be together, right, and and that's that's a that's

559
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 3: a tough team to play when when when when you're

560
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: playing together like that.

561
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, this is something we've talked all off season

562
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: about when it comes down to the quarterback battle and

563
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: this position competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones is

564
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: who can be the more consistent guy across the board?

565
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: You know everything that encompasses playing quarterback, but I think

566
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: specifically to the biggest thing is probably ball placement and

567
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: overall accuracy in the passing game.

568
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: Correct.

569
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: And you know, the Colts were just as a former

570
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: tight end I knew this probably drove you crazy last year,

571
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: is that they were just void of major production last

572
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: year in the in the middle of the field. Yeah,

573
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: and the intermediate part of the past game, like that

574
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty yard range down the field between the

575
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: numbers or tight ends typically feast. How do you think

576
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones kind of fixed that problem?

577
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

578
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 3: I I well, I think every quarterback has a preference, right,

579
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: and I think some guys like to, you know, throw

580
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: more on the outside. Some guys like to throw more

581
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: on the inside. I always liked playing with the guys

582
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: who like to throw more on the inside, right, because

583
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 3: that's where you know, the tight ends and running backs

584
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: are getting a lot of touches and and you know,

585
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: some guys like inbreakers, some guys like out. So every

586
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 3: quarterback is different, right, and how they and how they preference,

587
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: how they want an offense to go. But you look

588
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: at Daniel's history and he does have a you know,

589
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: a history of passing to the tight end. So I

590
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a great comfort for him. No

591
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: one obviously having Tyler, and Tyler's been super impressive in

592
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: the preseason, and the sky's.

593
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: The limit for him.

594
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: But even don't sleep on Mo most most a vet man,

595
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: he's a pros pro. He's gonna block his butt off, right,

596
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: and he can slip out there and still make plays

597
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: in the passing game. And Will Mallory I think does

598
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: a great job.

599
00:24:59,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: I really do.

600
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 3: I think he can be a third down guy that

601
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: can come in there and get open and do a

602
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of different things. And then Drew's

603
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: kind of cut from the same Closs, same cloth as

604
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: mor and A and a physical guy who we can

605
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: who we can get get the ball to and play action.

606
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 3: So I think Daniel's history of throwing to the tight

607
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: end in turn is gonna you know, help the tight

608
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 3: end position, you know, improve those numbers, right, And I

609
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: think those guys did a great job blocking last year.

610
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: So you get caught up in the in the passing

611
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: game numbers and things like that, which I get, you know,

612
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: you got.

613
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: To do both.

614
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I think I think those guys will well,

615
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: I think it was a bit circumstantial in the way

616
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: things kind of went last year.

617
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: No doubt about me. Thirty nine catches last year for

618
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: a little bit under five hundred yards collectively from the

619
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: Colts tight end, right, I think obviously with Tyler Warren's

620
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: presence here and now we're going to talk about him

621
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: more detail coming up in just a second, But I

622
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: do want to get your take on Anthony richardson quarterback

623
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: number two now, again, as a former player, is a

624
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: guy that's been you know, you've been through nine years

625
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: of game installs and regular their season weeks. For those

626
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: that don't know that, the backup quarterback typically doesn't get

627
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: no any Yeah, no very much first team run with

628
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the starting offense. So you know they've they've talked today

629
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: being Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard like he's got to

630
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: continue to prove and he showed a lot of growth,

631
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: a lot of development, but still has some ways to

632
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: go right now that he is the backup quarterback and

633
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: is not going to split up those reps with the

634
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: first team with with Daniel Jones. How does I mean, objectively,

635
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: how does Anthony Richardson continue to get better?

636
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I'll speak from experience on this

637
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: and a guy who was you know, he's one of

638
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: my best friends, so it's easy to talking to. Jacoby

639
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: Brissette was a guy who you know, he played that

640
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: quarterback two role, yeah a lot, but also that quarterback

641
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: one role a lot. And what Jacoby did you know,

642
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: because he wasn't getting the first team reps. And this

643
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: would be my advice to Anthony because that's a tough

644
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 3: pill to swall Right, I think Anthony did a ton

645
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: of things to improve, like he said, Matt, and you know,

646
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 3: he got beat out in the competition. That's just the

647
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: reality of playing an NFL. Right, But I think if

648
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 3: he can get those, he'd get you know, you get

649
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: guys after practice, right, you get the practice squad guys,

650
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: you get the young guys right, and you run through

651
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: the reps you're missing, right, and just getting those throws in,

652
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: getting those looks in, you know, saying hey, this is

653
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: the third down play we're running this week, and they're

654
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: gonna play you know, two man, how are we gonna

655
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: run this route? How's it gonna look. Let's get a

656
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: live rep at it, you know, after practice. So just

657
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: taking you know, and that's ten to fifteen minutes of

658
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: work after practice, not a lot, but it's gonna really

659
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: help him, you know, stay sharp mentally and because you're

660
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: one play away as the quarterback too, and being prepared

661
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: for the game because like you said, there's just not

662
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: enough time for him to get reps you know, in

663
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: practice with with with the first team offense. So taking

664
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: the young guys out there and getting extra reps and

665
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: running the plays that you're running that week, that would

666
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 3: be my advice, Anthony. Do that after practice, you know,

667
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: on you know, on Wednesday with the base run and

668
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: base pass stuff. Do it on Thursday with the you know,

669
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: the third down stuff, and do it on Friday with

670
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: the red zone stuff and just take ten to fifteen minutes.

671
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: And you're also getting those practice squad guys and those

672
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: younger guys who are one play away too, the reps

673
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: of what it's going to look like, because they're not

674
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 3: getting in practice either. Like you said, there's just not

675
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: enough time. So there's ways to continue to develop and

676
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: continue to improve yourself. And and like I said, I

677
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: think Anthony's done everything right, and you know, up to

678
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: this point, I think that's the next step he can take,

679
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: and he's.

680
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: Probably already doing it right.

681
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: But that's just that's just what I've seen from a

682
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: guy like Jacoby who who handled that role like a pro.

683
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's something in you know that that

684
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: can help him improve.

685
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, great perspective right there, because you're right, but Jacoby

686
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Brissette was always one play away. Yeah, and it's fluctuated

687
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: so often up and down the roster in terms of

688
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: QB one, QB two. Yeah, and uh, you know that

689
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: that's one hundred percent. Great great analogy right there. All right,

690
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about what you came for, all right,

691
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about tight end. Yeah, let's do it right first,

692
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: of all, Tyler Warren was drafted in the first round.

693
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: We all know about his credentials in the resume coming

694
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: out of Penn State, over one hundred catches, let the

695
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: big ten, led the you know lead Penn State, set

696
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of records there. But he's wearing number eighty four.

697
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?

698
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: I love it, man, that's the tight end number. Good

699
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: with that.

700
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm good with it. I you know, I don't. It's

701
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: not my number, you know, I don't. You know, so

702
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: and word before me. I think it was Tammy Ward

703
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: before me, which I actually played with his brother at

704
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: Western Kentucky. So that's you know, speaking of the football

705
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: small world. But he uh, but no, I'm super fired

706
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: up about it. I already told my kids. You know,

707
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: obviously we got a lot of eighty fourgers. He same,

708
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: let's get the duct tape out right, well cover up

709
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: that Doyle right Warren on the back. No, but it'll

710
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: be I'm super excited, obviously, Like you said, that's what

711
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: I'm here for. I'm super excited, uh to watch Tyler

712
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: play this year. And he seems like such a great

713
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: you know, I keep saying, kid, but you know, young man,

714
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: and he's just he's just you know, the whole package, right,

715
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: and it's just I'm fired up for it.

716
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: What is his biggest acclamation to the NFL?

717
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: Right?

718
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: If you could give him one piece of advice as

719
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: a rookie as it relates to all that's on his

720
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: plate playing tight end he's got. I mean, I think

721
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: he probably has more on his plate and the normal

722
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: tight end because of all that he can do and

723
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: versatility and lining him up different places. But what what

724
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: one piece of advice would you give him to help

725
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: him as a rookie?

726
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, one play at a time. It sounds like cliche

727
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: and simple and coach talk or whatever you want to

728
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: call it, but I truly played my best ball because

729
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: you can get swirling in your head as a young player,

730
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: right and and thinking too much about all the different stuff,

731
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: you know, Like you said, he's probably got a lot

732
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: on his plate for a rookie, and and the way

733
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: they can move him around, and I'm sure there's tons

734
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: of Shane's got a ton of plans for how they

735
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: how they can put them in different spots. But just

736
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: playing one play at a time, right, man? It Football

737
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: is simple, simplify you know, all the stuff that's going

738
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: to kind of being put on you and just one

739
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: play at a time, and that's just and that goes

740
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: to practice too, and it goes to you know, it's

741
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: one play at a time on Wednesday at practice, right

742
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: and then and then worry about the next play. You know,

743
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: it's coach talk, but it's real. And I feel like

744
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: that's when I played my best ball is when I

745
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: when I kept it simple and focused on that, you know,

746
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: one play at a time mentality.

747
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, you just brought up something that I think

748
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: is fascinating and I think we're already starting to see

749
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: it in training camp, the versatility and the creativity of

750
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the usage of Tyler Warren at Penn State. Lines up

751
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: at tight end, they line him up in the slot,

752
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: they line them up at full back, they line them

753
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: up as a quarterback as a wildcat. Of course, he

754
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: was a finalist for the Paul Horning Award Nation's most

755
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: Versatile Player last year. He was the only college football

756
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: tight end last year to line up at quarterback on

757
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: thirty plus snaps in the backfield. Wow, So just just

758
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: how how crazy do you think this could potentially be?

759
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: With him where he's he's like bugs Bunny playing the

760
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: gas house gorilla, like all over the field.

761
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: You don't know where he's gonna be.

762
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: No, that's that's why tight ends the best, right right there.

763
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: You just you can play anywhere. You get to play

764
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: every part of.

765
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: Football, right as players play tight end.

766
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, because you get and then you can

767
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: play some special teams. You can go tackle somebody too,

768
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: like you know, you get to do everything. You're get

769
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: to do everything. So that's why tight ends best. I'll

770
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: keep saying it on this show.

771
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: Over and over.

772
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I think Shane's a brilliant offensive mind

773
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: and gonna use that versatility. I think it will grow

774
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: as the season goes on. I don't know if maybe

775
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: a wrinkle here or there in Week one, who knows,

776
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: But I think those are things you can use in

777
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: the red zone. It's it's it's tough to score in

778
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: the red zone right in the NFL.

779
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: It's hard.

780
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 3: So ways we can use that versatility and getting Tyler

781
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, you know, advantageous matchups against certain guys will

782
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: be huge, you.

783
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: Know, going into the draft. Again, I don't want to

784
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: make you feel uncomfortable, but going into the draft, Chris

785
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: Ballard said before they drafted Tyler Warren they were on

786
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: the lookout for a do it all tight end, and

787
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: he said, we haven't had one of those guys since

788
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. Jack Doyle retired in twenty twenty one.

789
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, thanks, Chris, make it feel good. Yeah, it's good.

790
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: We're still you.

791
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's good. You know, it's it's it's you

792
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: know it. It was a fun run. And you know,

793
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: I just tried to play football the way it's supposed

794
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: to be played, and however it shook out a shook out,

795
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: So so yeah, it's a thanks for the compliment. Yeah,

796
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell Chris.

797
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about to put a bow on

798
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: this first episode here, Uh, the Dolphins come in. You

799
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: know that there's such a different team with Tua compared

800
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: to when they didn't have him last year. He missed

801
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: six games last year. Record wise, they weren't very good.

802
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: They only scored thirteen points per game last year when

803
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: he was out of the lineup, compared to about twenty

804
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: five points per game when he was in the lineup.

805
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: And you know, Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill obviously much

806
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: different players. They have a much different impact when they've

807
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: got their starting quarterback out there. He's deadly accurate seventy

808
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: two percent last year led the NFL and completion percentage.

809
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: So he's just one of the more deceptively good and

810
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: underrated quarterbacks in the NFL. But you know, the story

811
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: on him has obviously been concussions and injuries and things

812
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: like that. But I want to talk about the global

813
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: sense of this game. How much we talked about the

814
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: preparation that goes into it, but you're also doing it

815
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: for the first time in nine plus months. Yeah, how

816
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: much more juice, how much more anxiety, how much more

817
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: jitters as they're involved in Week one compared to any

818
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: other game of the season.

819
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it almost feels like, you know, the juice or

820
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 3: you know that, like you said, anxiety, it feels like

821
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 3: a playoff game.

822
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: It really does. That's how you feel.

823
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: You get so up for it, and it's finding ways

824
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: to calm yourself down and and like I said, play

825
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 3: that one play at a time mentality and not not

826
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: get in, you know, get over hyped and trying to

827
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: do too much and just doing your job right and

828
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 3: doing the role that the team's asking you to do.

829
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: And that's the that's gonna be the challenge for both teams, right,

830
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: and trying to play within themselves and you know, execute

831
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: the play to the best of their ability.

832
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: Colts have lost eleven or I should say have not won,

833
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: because there's a difference. Have not won eleven straight? Yeah,

834
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: eleven straight Week one games. Of course, the infamous tie

835
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I think it was a Week

836
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: one game against the Houston Texans. Unfortunately you are part

837
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: of eight of those. How I mean, how sick are

838
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: you talking?

839
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: Sick and tired? You know what I mean?

840
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: Sick and tired? Man, It's just I don't know. And

841
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: like you said, I remember getting asked it as a player,

842
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: and now you knowswer I know that the guys are

843
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: getting I know the guys are geting asked about it

844
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 3: this week, right. It's just it's just one of those deals.

845
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, And it's and like you said, you

846
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: just you just try to put that in the back

847
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: of your head. You know a lot of the guys,

848
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: you know, they're only part of so many of those, right,

849
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 3: so you know, you don't think about it that way,

850
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: and you just try to go out there and execute

851
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 3: man and let the chips fall where they may. You know,

852
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: you always you know, there's always the saying, you know,

853
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 3: stay in the process, right, and then the results will

854
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: be what the results are. So if guys can do that,

855
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: if the Colts can do that, you know we'll we'll

856
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: find a way to get it done.

857
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: You know.

858
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: Last thing, how nerve wracking can be weak? Can week

859
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: one be? You know, my guy Rick Van Turry likes

860
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: always say that that week one as a coach is

861
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: like equal parts Christmas Day, equal parts Halloween. At least

862
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: it could be right because Christmas Day, we got these news.

863
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Here's these new free agent guys, here's these draft picks.

864
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got. Let's see what they can do. Yeah,

865
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, let's unwrap them and see if we can

866
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: put batteries in them and play with them all day. Yeah,

867
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: but it could also be Halloween where it's like, oh man,

868
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: we drilled this all off season long. We thought we

869
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: were good here, we thought we had enough depth. All

870
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden blam, Yeah, yeah, this isn't going well.

871
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: Like how how weird can that?

872
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

873
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: It is in the course of a game.

874
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: It is so weird in the first game, and then

875
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: in the first couple of weeks, right, and and then

876
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 3: there's the overreaction to that too. And you don't really

877
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: know who you are till about midway through a season anyways, right,

878
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: so you know you pump them, you try to, you know,

879
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: as a player. In mind, this is a marathon, right,

880
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 3: it's not a sprint. It's not all about week one.

881
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: But it feels really good to start one to zero

882
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: compared to oh and one, right, So, yeah, I think

883
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 3: it's it's the Colts, you know. You know, we made

884
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: a bunch of splashes here in free agent and and

885
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: then obviously and in the draft pick. So it's it's

886
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun to see to see them,

887
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: you know, you know, like you said, let those toys

888
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 3: go and see what we got.

889
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: And uh, I can't wait for it to get here.

890
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm pumped, man, I'm I'm so excited for in in

891
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: in that vein. I'm so excited for Sunday and the

892
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: secondary all these new toys. Yeah, I mean, do you

893
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: still think that's the strength of the team, Even though

894
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: it's not the guys we thought it was going to

895
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: be at the start of training, it's still a strength

896
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: based on the reinforcement.

897
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolute moves they.

898
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: Made to bring in Xavian Howard and Charbarius Warm and

899
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: they're making a trade for a guy like for blackmen

900
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: coming over from Minnesota.

901
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you go and you test it right away, right,

902
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: going against the Dolphins, right and Waddle and Hill on

903
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: the outside, and and you know, if we can limit

904
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: the explosive plays, right, I think that's gonna give us

905
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: a really good chance to to to.

906
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: Come out on top on Sunday.

907
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 3: And uh and yeah, so so letting the strength of

908
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: the secondary, I think we still have strength up front too,

909
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: and and and guys like the forest and and and

910
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: big grove in there.

911
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: You know, we got to stop the run.

912
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: That's the first thing, right, So big grove in the backfield,

913
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: that's what I always say. So I'm really excited to

914

Speaker 1: we're gonna close out with a little segment called you

930
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: don't Know Jack? All right again, Jack Doyle retired nine

931
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: years with the Colts, two time pro bowler. But let's

932
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: talk about Jack the guy, all right, So let's find

933
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: out a little bit more about him personally. And you

934
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this a handful of times,

935
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: which means you've talked about this probably one hundred times. Yeah,

936
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: throughout your your career and your time with the Colts.

937
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: Here.

938
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Uh, but you know these are gonna be fun. These

939
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: are going to be you know, get to know you pieces.

940
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: But I thought we would go with the softball yeah

941
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: on this first one here, first question is how much

942
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: pride did you take being you know, from Indianapolis. You

943
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: played all your career outside of like what a week

944
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: with the Titan Indianapolis Colts. Yeah, so how much did

945
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: you enjoy that, and what were the challenges with it,

946
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: How much balancing did you have to do between Colts career,

947
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: but also family and friends that were, no doubt, probably

948
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: unintentionally kind of nabing at you a little bit, trying

949
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: to get your time and your attention and tickets and

950
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: things like that throughout the course of your time with

951
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the Colts.

952
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: I mean, first off, when a dream come true? Right?

953
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: You know, as a player, I really tried hard to

954
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: focus on my job and not even think about, Hey,

955
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: you're playing for the Colts, right, I mean, tell a

956
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: twelve year old Jack that.

957
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he wouldn't believe you were the kid that

958
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: had the Rye Dell plastic helmets.

959
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. I mean we were out there running.

960
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: I always tell the story, you know, front of yard football.

961
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 3: We used to always run the comebacks like Reggie Wayne

962
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 3: always ran right, and we'd run those comebacks and try

963
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 3: and do the light hands right and throwing line drives

964
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: at each other, hitting each other in the face because

965
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: we couldn't do late hands like Reggie Wayne. But but no,

966
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: I mean, what had dream come true? And as a player,

967
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: I really tried not to think about it. And it

968
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: was hard not to, but I really tried to just

969
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 3: focus on my job. But reflecting on it being done now,

970
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to even put it into words, Matt.

971
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 3: You know how special it was and how special it

972
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 3: was for my whole family and getting played for the

973
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: hometown team and then getting to still be here and

974
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: raise my family here and you know, you could have

975
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: been it could have been anywhere. So so yeah, what

976
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 3: a special ride it was.

977
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: Was it hard? I mean when you would hit free agency,

978
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: was it hard to kind of take because it's a business.

979
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: It's a bottom line, dude, Yeah, forget that, right, and

980
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: those specific moments anyways, right, Yeah, no, there was one.

981
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 3: I almost hit free agency one time, would have been

982
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 3: after the sixteen season, I think, but never officially hit it.

983
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was hard, Like you know, that's why

984
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: I used Buddy Baker. I stayed out of it, right

985
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: if my agent handled all that, But it was hard

986
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 3: to I didn't want to go anywhere, right, you know

987
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: I could say that now, you know, I wanted to

988
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: be here. That's you know, this is where my you know,

989
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 3: my kids, grandparents are here, you know, family's here. So

990
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 3: it's like that that just made too much sense, but

991
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: you know what a special ride it was. Wish it

992
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: could have, Wish it could have, you know, wish we

993
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: could have got a super Bowl here and there and there.

994
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: But you know it was still a lot of fun.

995
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And this was fun as well.
