Speaker 2: a week seven victory sixteen to ten over the Miami Dolphins.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: Loaded up tonight. Per usual, We've got chats coming up

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: with Colts head coach Shane Steichen on segment one as

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: he recaps the game in detail. Then, starting in segment two,

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: analyst Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights will join the program

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: to break down the game film and discuss some of

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: the unsung heroes from Sunday's win for the Colts. But

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: we always lead off the show with the game rewind

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: Colts over the Dolphins. Both the Indie and Miami offense

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: has got off the slow starts. In fact, the two

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: teams combined for just one score in the first twenty

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: nine minutes of the game, but the Colts got on

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: the board on the final play of the first half

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: with a fifty two yard field goal by Matt Gay,

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: and Indianapolis went to the locker room break trailing ten

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: to three. The Colts defense started making plays in the

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: second half, though The Dolphins had a heavy run game

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: game plan going into this game against the Colts, but

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: running back Raheem Moster lost a fumble after linebacker segu

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Elubi stripped it from his possession, and then a Lubi

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: himself recovered the fumble and returned it inside the thirty

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: yard line. The takeaway set up Tyler Goodson's first NFL

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: touchdown with just over nine minutes to go in the

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: third quarter, and Indianapolis tied the game at ten. The

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: Colts would get another key takeaway and fumble recovery when

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: full back alec Ingold fumbled on a die play and

46
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: the strip went to Zire Franklin and the recovery went

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: to Tavan Bryan that led to a Colts field goal

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: as Indianapolis led for the first time thirteen to ten

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: and would never look back. The Dolphins trailed by six

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: with under two minutes and they were out of timeouts,

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: and Tim Boyle, who had to fill in for the

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: injured Tyler Huntley, who started the game, turned the ball

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: over on downs on a fourth and two in Colts territory,

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: which sealed the win for the Colts. Anthony Richardson returned

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: to the lineup for Indianapolis and was more effective as

56
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: a runner than a thrower. He piled up fifty seven

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: yards on thirteen carries despite completing just ten of twenty

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: four passes for one hundred and twenty nine yards, and

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: the Colts running game finished with one hundred and fifty

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: six on the ground and went over one hundred for

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: the first time without John and Taylor in the lineup.

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: And how about the day from the Colts linebackers Without EJ.

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: Speed who missed the game with a knee injury, Zaire Franklin,

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: Jalen Carlis and Grant Stewart and chegu Aluvi all stepped up.

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: Carlis was making plays before he left the game with

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: an injury in the first half. OLUVII had the huge

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: takeaway in the second half, and then Zaire Franklin rapped

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: up fifteen tackles, his fifth game with at least fifteen

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: stops since twenty twenty two, and Grant Stewart piled up

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: a staggering eighteen tackles on defense, playing on that side

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: of the ball for the first time this season, and

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: Stewart's total was the most tackles in a single game

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: by any NFL player this season, and also those stops

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: are tied for the third most by a Colt since

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four. The Colts are now four and three.

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: They've now won four of their last five, and if

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: the playoffs started today they'd be in. But now the

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: schedule heats up, starting with a trip down to Houston

79
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: in week nine. All right, ask promise. Coming up on

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: segment two tonight, I'll be joined by Colts analyst Rick

81
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: Venturi and Joe Wrights, and we're taking your sol social

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: media questions a little bit later in the show as well.

83
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: Get those in tonight starting right now using hashtag Colts

84
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: Roundtable on X and you can use that same hashtag

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: to submit those thoughts for head coach Shane Steichen, who

86
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: joins us now on this first segment tonight as he's

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: rolled into studio here, this conversation brought to you by

88
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: Citizens Energy Group. Coach, congrats on the big win knocking

89
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: off the Dolphins sixteen to ten. That makes two in

90
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: a row, four of your last five. And after watching

91
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: the game film again today, how gritty of a win

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: was that for the Colts over the Dolphins.

93
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: First and foremost, I want to give a shout out

94
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: to Grant Stewart. I mean a guy that's, you know,

95
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: a tremendous competitor and worker and gets his opportunity and

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 5: goes in and has eighteen tackles and I think he

97
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 5: played on twenty three special teams reps. Yeah, but just

98
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: a gritty win, a gritty performance our defense. You know,

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: we talked about stopping you know, Tyreek and Waddle. I

100
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: think Tyreek had one catch for eight yards and Waddle

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: had one for eleven.

102
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: I mean, so you know, and I came up the

104
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 5: big plays was huge. And then obviously offensively, when we

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 5: needed to run the football, we did a hell of

106
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 5: a job doing that. I think, you know, one fifty

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: five on the grounds. Yeah, but you know, found a

108
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: way to win that game, which was huge.

109
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, season highs in both the rushing total and the

110
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: rushing attempts. Before we go further, any injury updates, any

111
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: updates on the guys that left the game yesterday, or

112
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: any news on guys that could potentially come back starting

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: this week.

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, just car lease he'll miss some time. I'm not

115
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: going to put a timetable, but he'll miss some time.

116
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: And then optimistic for buck JT.

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Back to the offense. Two hundred and eighty four total yards,

118
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: the one touchdown, the three field goals, just four of

119
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: thirteen on third down, you had six three and ouns,

120
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: but yet you found a way to win. Like you said,

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: the running game was good. What was your overall assessment

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: of the offense scene again, again, today on tape.

123
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 5: I think just we got to find ways to get

124
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 5: into rhythm early on first and second down. You know,

125
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 5: I think I can do a better job with those

126
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 5: guys going forward. It was just one of those games,

127
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 5: it wasn't you know, Just like you said, six three

128
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 5: and outs, we got to get into rhythm on first,

129
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: second out and not put ourselves in these thres down situations. Yeah,

130
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 5: so we'll get that thing cleaned up moving forward.

131
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just said it right there. And then I

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: know after the game, you know, you were you were

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: critical of yourself, and I know you hold yourself to

134
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: a high standard. You take on that accountability. But but

135
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: why were you so down on yourself yesterday?

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 5: Just because obviously head coach, but you know, being on

137
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 5: the offensive side of the football a lot as well

138
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: as you know, wanting to score points and having you know,

139
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: six three and outs, Yeah, isn't up to the standard

140
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: that we want to play at. So that's why when

141
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 5: you know, when things go bad offensively, I'll be the

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: first admit that it wasn't good.

143
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: Enough by me.

144
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson came back after missing the previous two games.

145
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: How did he look to you?

146
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: I thought he was you know, he ran the ball well.

147
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: You know, he got to have some tough situations, you know,

148
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 5: there in the pocket at times, but he looked explosive,

149
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: made some you know, some big plays down the field

150
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: when he had the opportunity, you know, the one to

151
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 5: Pittman right before half was huge, and then did some

152
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 5: good things in the in the red zone run of

153
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 5: the football. But I you know, I thought he looked

154
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: good running around out there.

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

156
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: He had fifty seven rushing yards thirteen carries. He was

157
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: your leading rusher yesterday. Was everything open to him? Did

158
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: you have any reservations about the play calling, considering being

159
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: banged up a little bit.

160
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it was all open. You know, he was

161
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: feeling good going into the game, so the whole playbook

162
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: was open going to that game.

163
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to the running game with the running backs,

164
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: big games out of Tyler Goodson, Trey Sermon did a

165
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: nice job. Are you pleased with what you're getting out

166
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: of those two guys steadying the ship without number twenty

167
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: eight on the field.

168
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely. I think those guys compliment each other really well.

169
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: You know, good he's a speed guy, you know that

170
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: can really go. And then Trey's got good you know,

171
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 5: speed to power, fighting through breaking tackles. So I think

172
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 5: those guys have been complimenting each other really well in

173
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 5: JT's absence. You know, I thought good he did some

174
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: really good things. Obviously, had an explosive run around the edge,

175
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: you got his first career touchdown. And then Trey, you

176
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: know at the end of the game there that one

177
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 5: drive we had where you ended up getting a field goal.

178
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: He had some good gritty runs down in there, getting

179
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: that thing down in there into the red zone.

180
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: It's Shane sticking with us tonight. This is Colt's around

181
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: Table live here on ninety five, three five and one

182
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: oh seven five the fan and going over to the

183
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. You already mentioned Grant Stewart,

184
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: but I mean everybody, Zaire Franklin stepped up. Shahula Lubi

185
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: had the big play.

186
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

187
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned Jalen Carlis before his injury. How impressed were

188
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: you with the depth of the linebacking corps.

189
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: It was impressive, you know, obviously losing a guy like e. J. Hurtz,

190
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: you know, because he's a tremendous player, but all those

191
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 5: guys stepping up, like you said, I mean it was.

192
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: It was impressive to watch. You know, those guys were

193
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: flying around to the football, making tackles, obviously forcing the

194
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: fumbles there. You know, Zayer got the strip, you know,

195
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 5: down there in the red zone, which was huge. And

196
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 5: then Julian came up and a Loubi gets you know,

197
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 5: it's kind of a bang bang and the ball comes

198
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 5: out and a Loubi gets up and he turned into

199
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 5: running back there, you know, cutting back across the grain

200
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: a little bit. But it was it was fun to

201
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 5: say he.

202
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: Was slashing man. Oh yeah, all right, you're four and three.

203
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: You've won four of your last five.

204
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

205
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: You also lead the NFL in one score games. All

206
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: seven games have come down to the wire eight points

207
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: or less. What what do you point to that's giving

208
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: you success lately in all these tight games.

209
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: I think it's playing smart, you know, playing fundamentally said

210
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: it's smart. You know a lot of these games do

211
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: come down to one score. I don't know we were

212
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: number one in that category, but I think, you know,

213
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, it's it's someone you know,

214
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: the play doesn't care who makes it, and someone's gonna

215
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: step up and the play's gonna come to them, and

216
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 5: they're going to step up and make a play when

217
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 5: we need it and and playing smart in the in

218
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 5: the crunch time for sure.

219
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: All right, Shane Stike in with us Colts Roundtable Live.

220
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: Let's take a few questions from fans to close it

221
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: out here. Submit those in tonight and every Monday night

222
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: with head coach Shane Stiking with the hashtag Colts Roundtable

223
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: on X. Baxter is up first, He says, AR a

224
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: little inaccurate yesterday, but he also threw the ball into

225
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: Harm's way a little bit. How concerned are you over

226
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: his decision making at this point in the season.

227
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm not overly concerned. I think you know,

228
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: we go through this process and you keep getting those reps,

229
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: and you go through to certain situations, and the more

230
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 5: you see, the more you're gonna play and learn. And

231
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: we just got to keep putting them in those situations

232
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: and practice much we can. And then as long as

233
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 5: he keep seeing him in the game, you know he

234
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: continue to develop and get better.

235
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: But all right, this is from the Unstable Blues asking

236
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: about Grant Stewart. Never been given the chance before this

237
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: game to play on defense. His energy is infectious and

238
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: elevates everybody around him. Why not have him play a

239
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: little bit more on defense potentially.

240
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: You know what, after that performance, obviously it's worth the discussion.

241
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: Everything's on the table.

242
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what he does, his energy is infectious,

243
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 5: and it's how he plays, how he practices. You know,

244
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 5: he's like the energizer bunny out there on the practice field. Yeah,

245
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 5: and he's given one hundred and ten percent effort every

246
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 5: single time he steps on that field. So it was

247
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: really impressive to see his performance yesterday.

248
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: All Right, Nick is asking how did we shut off

249
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Watta, Like you said, only two

250
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: catches combined for the game by those guys.

251
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: You know, let's credit to Gus and the defensive staff

252
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: and the DBS. They came up with a great plan,

253
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: you know to stop those guys. And again credit to

254
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 5: those guys coming up with that play. And like I said, Tyrek,

255
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 5: I think he had one for eight and Waddle had

256
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 5: one for eleven, you know, two of the best in

257
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 5: the league. So it was a big time performance by

258
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: our DBS and Gus and Milo and all those guys.

259
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Let's squeeze in two more. Here Miles is asking do

260
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: you feel like you're stepping up in competition this this

261
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: weekend with the Texans And what do we need to

262
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: learn from week one's loss in order to change the

263
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: outcome this weekend.

264
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think with anything, anytime you have a division opponent,

265
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: you know, those games are a little bigger. You know,

266
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: obviously you want to win the championships, you got to

267
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: win division games, and so you know, I obviously going

268
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 5: down to Houston, we know it's going to be another

269
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: tight game. These division games are all tight. It's gonna

270
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: be a four quarter fight. And we'll go back and

271
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: look at that first game obviously today and tomorrow and

272
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: throughout the week see what we can get better from that,

273
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: and obviously self scot our stuff going into this game

274
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 5: because we know how big this one.

275
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: Is, right all right?

276
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: John is asking this is not really a question, but

277
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: he says, I love when you change personnel on the

278
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: field in order to make the other team call a

279
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 2: time out. I was really big late in the game

280
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: for the Dolphins who are out of time out because

281
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: they had to spin one late in the game when

282
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: the Colts fake going for it on fourth down. So

283
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: I think that's more of a statement but you have

284
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: a little bit of a grint on your face. You

285
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: like doing that kind of stuff that that's big in

286
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: terms of the outcome of the game.

287
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: Now I do. I think there's a time and a place.

288
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: You know, you got to play the game within the

289
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 5: game as a coach too, you know. I mean it's

290
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: not just calling ball plays and coaching guys up. It's

291
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: all those little details within the game to try to

292
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: give your you know, your team an advantage, and you're

293
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 5: trying to repete on every single play and obviously for

294
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 5: them to burn a time out if you look back,

295
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 5: obviously it was it was critical at the end of

296
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 5: the game, you know, when they got the ball back

297
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: with no timeouts.

298
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: So it was big indeed.

299
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: All right, Texans up next, Like we talked about, really

300
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: important game inside the AFC South. A win for the

301
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: Colts would put them at five and three, a loss

302
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: would drop the Texans to five and three. So very

303
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: important game. You're fired up for that. Oh, just your

304
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: early week thoughts here on this matchup the rematch if

305
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: you will.

306
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we know they're a good football team. You know,

307
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 5: they got talent on both sides of the football. It

308
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 5: will be a heck of a challenge for us, and

309
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: I know our guys are gonna prepare like crazy this

310
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: week because it'll be a good atmosphere there obviously going

311
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: on the road against them, so uh well, our guys

312
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 5: will be ready to go. We'll be excited, and like

313
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: I said, it comes down to that preparation and then

314
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,040

00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: the former Colts Rick vent Turrey, former Colts offensive lineman

361
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights, and before we say hi to them, just

362
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: from a housekeeping standpoint, bit of news here, the NFL

363
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: announced today that the Week nine game between the Colts

364
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: and the Vikings has been flexed to Sunday Night Football.

365
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: That's coming up on Sunday, November three at eight twenty

366
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: Eastern time. That's now the new kickoff for that game.

367
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: The game was originally scheduled the kickoff at one o'clock,

368
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: and the game will now be broadcasted on NBC Television. Wise,

369
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: so that now means the Colts have two primetime games

370
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: this year, the other coming up at least as of

371
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: right now, the other being Sunday on November seventeenth, Sunday

372
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: Night Football against the Jets. All right, let's welcome in

373
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: Rick Venturian. Joe writes, Joe, how are you, my friend?

374
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: And how is your Sunday? I know you've got a

375
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: chance to reconnect with a former teammate and Dallas Clark.

376
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: I know you're excited about that. You guys spoke. He

377
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: was a guest on the pregame show on Sunday.

378
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was, Matt great win. I know we'll get

379
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: into the details. Wasn't pretty, but a win's a win.

380
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: And I knew we were gonna win the game because

381
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: it was a ring of honor game, and you know,

382
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: just knowing, you know, kind of as a player, when

383
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: you have that aura greatness back in the building, you

384
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: know that Peyton's there, and Reggie and Edge and Freeny

385
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: and Saturday and mathis and of course Dallas Clark, who

386
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: we were honoring forty four. And you know, Doll and

387
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: I played together for a couple of years. And I

388
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: said this on the pregame show. There's guys that are

389
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: great players that aren't great teammates, and there's guys that

390
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: are great teammates that aren't great players. Dallas was the

391
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: unique combination of both, and he was so good to

392
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: me when I was a young guy in the practice squad.

393
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: I remember one time after a training camp practice when

394
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: I was getting destroyed by Freeny and he was just

395
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: recking us and he's tackled tight end drills and I

396
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: went to Dallas, you know in Anderson dorm room when

397
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: he's making a peanut butter sandwich and kind of apologized

398
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: to him because I was making him look bad on film.

399
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I'll be better, and he goes, look,

400
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: just stop it right there. This is day three of camp.

401
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: You're a young player, You're gonna get a lot better.

402
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 3: You're gonna be a great player for this organization and

403
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: we need you. And I shared that with Dallas, and

404
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: of course he didn't remember it at all, but that

405
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 3: meant so much to me as a young player when

406
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: you have a Hall of famer that takes time out

407
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: to spend a young guy, spend time with a young

408
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: guy in the practice squad and really build up his confidence.

409
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: So it was great to see Dallas. Great to see

410
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: him go in the Ring of Honor where he'll now

411
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: be inshrine forever inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

412
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, really, really cool story there, Joe. I appreciate you

413
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: saying that. Yeah, Rick, and Dallas is one of those

414
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: guys we talked to him over the summer. He was

415
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: tackled to death because he used to be that guy,

416
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: that youngster that would go to the visiting stadium and

417
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: would look up the afters and say, Okay, who's this,

418
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: who's that? You know, who's this guy that's enshrined in

419
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: this team's Hall of Fame or that team's Ring of Honor.

420
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: And now he's one of those guys. Rick, You're not

421
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: going to find a more appreciative guy for this honor

422
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: than Dallas Clark. It was awesome to see him back

423
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: in the in the building yesterday.

424
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And he caught as many passes as our

425
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: tight ends did yesterday. To be honest with you, but

426
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: I think you know, I always the way I always

427
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 4: looked at Dallas, and of course I always looked at

428
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: it from a different prism. I looked at it from

429
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 4: defensing these guys during that era, and I always looked

430
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: at him as if he completed the offense. And this

431
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: is what I mean. You know, you had two Hall

432
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: of famers on the outside in Harrison and Reggie should Be.

433
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 4: You had two Hall of famers out there. One of

434
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 4: the greatest quarterbacks of all times. You got a really

435
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: good left tackle, and you got a Hall of Fame

436
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: running back. So you had all these issues, okay, to

437
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: defend from a defensive standpoint, so you're going to play

438
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 4: a lot of split safety coverage. You could get a

439
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 4: lot of roles and things like that. And just when

440
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: you did that, basically Dallas what could eat you alive

441
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: on that inside And so when you went to take

442
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: away the rest of that stuff, he was the guy

443
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: that could creash you. And he had a tremendous eye

444
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: to eye contact with Peyton. They could look at where

445
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: the safety was playing, and they could and they could

446
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: break the route without even saying anything, just looking at

447
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 4: one another. And they I remember we were playing them

448
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: one time in quarters, and I was leaning that safety

449
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 4: outside to try to get some help on those outside guys,

450
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: and he took that corner pattern and increased it right

451
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 4: back inside. So again I always felt like he was

452
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: the completion of that team.

453
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Well said right there again, Rick Venturi, Joe Wrights, and

454
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: fantastic day honoring Dallas Clark, nineteenth member to go into

455
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: the Colts Ring of Honor. So great to see him

456
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: and great to see all the legends back at Lucas

457
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: Oi Stadium on Sunday. All right, we got a lot

458
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: of big agenda tonight. The rest of the way with

00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: a segment we'd like to call the tail of the tape.

Speaker 2: Get rdy, get rdy, Yeah, yeah, all right, Joe, writes.

467
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson started the game after missing the last two

468
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: games with his oblique injury. He was more effective, obviously

469
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: as a runner than a thrower. Yesterday and the defense

470
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: came away with two takeaways. The offense cashed in for

471
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: ten points off of turnovers, and the Colts held the

472
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins scoreless in the second half as they dealt with

473
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: quarterback issues between Tyler Huntley and Tim Boyle. But a

474
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: win is a win. It wasn't pretty, like we said, Joe,

475
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: So the floor is yours. What did you discover about

476
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: this game after watching the game film on your own

477
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: on the tail of the tape.

478
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, watching a real time during the game, I felt

479
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: like after we got that turnover and got the score

480
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: to ten to ten, you know, I looked at my

481
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: son and said, this is a race to seventeen because

482
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: I really felt like a touchdown was going to win it.

483
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: And we got to sixteen and Miami made a little

484
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: bit interesting at the end. But you know, credit Shane

485
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: for his innovation running the offense back out forcing them

486
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: to call that time out. That was huge, I mean

487
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: absolutely huge as we ran down the clock. But if

488
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: you look at the stats, I mean they were pretty even.

489
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: You know, both teams ran for a bunch of yards.

490
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: Miami was four point seven on the ground. Still too

491
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: much on first down, you know, especially when they were

492
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: kind of attacking our edges that that problem resurfaced a

493
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 3: little bit. We were both one to three in the

494
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 3: red zone both you know, thirty percent is on third down.

495
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: It came to down to the turnovers, and it came

496
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: down to the two huge plays and you know, Franklin

497
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: punching it out, but then you know a Loubi I

498
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: mean for him to rip the ball out and recover

499
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: it in a pile like that, you know, and get

500
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: the ball, and that's just a tremendous play. And again,

501
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: the NFL so often comes down to turnovers. They had

502
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: one more US and that was the difference in the game. Offensively, obviously,

503
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 3: we sputtered early on, and you know, it felt like

504
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: Richardson it took him a little bit of time to

505
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: kind of get his timing back after missing those couple

506
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: of weeks. I will say two things. One, that drive

507
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: before halftime was huge to go in with that field

508
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: goal and hit Pittman down on that deep crosser and

509
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: then get to ten three, especially because Miami was getting

510
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: the ball. I really felt that that was a hidden

511
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: key momentum wise in the game. And you know, I'll

512
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: say this about Richardson every time he plays, He plays

513
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: better in the fourth quarter, and so for me, how

514
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 3: do we capture that fourth quarter urgency, you know, that

515
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: excitement with him and get that to start out the game,

516
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: because that's kind of been the trend so far. It's

517
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: been slow, really slow first starts, a lot of three

518
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: and outs, you know, through the first half. But he

519
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: gets better and plays better in the fourth quarter. We

520
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: got to be able to capture that kind of fourth

521
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 3: quarter offense when we go there. But you saw it

522
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: show up, just the respect that they have for him

523
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: running the ball. I mean, when Goodson had that seven

524
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: yard touchdown, you know there were three guys committed to

525
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: him if he was going to pull that ball on

526
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: the zone read down on the goal line. We talked

527
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: about red zone and how we struggled last week running

528
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: the ball in the red zone. Completely different story with

529
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: number five right there. So overall, like you said, Matt,

530
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: a win is a win. We get to four and three,

531
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 3: we get above five hundred. But now these next five games,

532
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: this is real football, and we're playing some real quarterbacks

533
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: and some really good NFL teams, and we're going to

534
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 3: find out how good we are right now. And what

535
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 3: I've been calling this gauntlet from the end of October

536
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: through our last game, you know, against the Lions here

537
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: right before Thanksgiving in November.

538
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, my take is, thank God for the fourth quarter.

539
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 4: We won in Tennessee ten to zero and we won

540
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 4: this week six to zero. That's two wins, you know,

541
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 4: with shutouts in the fourth quarter and the ability to

542
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 4: score points and to get us to four and three

543
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: and get us in great position, albeit versus a woeful

544
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: offensive team. Again, we ground it out, ground out sixty

545
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: minutes and there's something to be said for that. I'm

546
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: going to close with that in a minute. The game really,

547
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: Joe said it. There's not a heck of a lot

548
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: of difference in the stats, but it really and I

549
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: always say this, you win the turnover battle in the NFL,

550
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna win ninety five percent of those games. And

551
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 4: the two turnovers really by the two Colt defenders was everything.

552
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no doubt about it, you know, and

553
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: I really commend the others again, you know, Goodson dueling

554
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 4: and then you go on defense and Stewart Alubi. Those

555
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 4: guys did great things in that game and they were

556
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: really responsible, you know, those two turnovers. Just going back

557
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 4: to them. That's really that was a swing of ten

558
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: to fourteen points. You know, we get one Alubi takes

559
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: it down inside the red zone and we score seven.

560
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 4: And then the strip you know down you know by

561
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 4: Zaire down in our own red zone prevented at least

562
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: at least three and maybe seven. So there's definitely a

563
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: swing of ten points on those two plays. Just remember

564
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 4: what I always say, turnover z erase a lot of issues. Okay,

565
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: on offense, we did find a running game. Now when

566
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 4: Richardson plays, it's a different running game. It's and we

567
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: don't need as much variation with the running backs when

568
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: he's there because it's the NCAAA type of stuff. You know,

569
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: he obviously shows what he can do. His threat changes

570
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: the game. The running backs are mostly running against light

571
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: boxes in that zone read and we have to keep

572
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: doing that. I thought he redeemed himself. The kid does

573
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 4: have one thing that's really important at quarterback. He has

574
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: selective amnesia. Even if he starts bad, he doesn't linger

575
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: on it. He keeps playing. That's a really important quality.

576
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 4: I thought he redeemed himself in the fourth quarter, you know,

577
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: throwing for four to five critical plays and you know,

578
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 4: really doing well. Overall, our passing game is really bad

579
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 4: at sub part ten of twenty five inaccuracies. We had

580
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble with separation. I knew their back

581
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 4: end was good, but they played they did a really

582
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: good job poor blitz control all day. And the worst

583
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: part about it is, you know, and I predicted this

584
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: before the game with richardson downs goes on the witness

585
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: protection program and that can't be. We've got to make

586
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 4: sure that we shore that up defensively again, good second half,

587
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 4: you know, shut them down, shut them out. The two

588
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: turnovers game changers. Still a lot of bad, bad football,

589
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: I mean, gaying holes in there one hundred and eighty

590
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: eight yards and if it wasn't for penalties, it'd be

591
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 4: two fifty. And that's not sustainable if you play really,

592
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: really good teams. And you know, with mixing coming up,

593
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: that has to be taken care of in that respect.

594
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: You know, I thought the young linebackers stepped in, did

595
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: a good job, got a pretty good job out of

596
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 4: the secondary. Played a lot of soft coverage and they

597
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: weren't going to push it deep. You could tell after

598
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 4: the first quarter. Even with those great receivers, they were

599
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 4: going to try to win it and not lose it.

600
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: And I thought, on a negative note, I thought it

601
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 4: might have been the worst, one of the worst defensive

602
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 4: line performances I've seen in a long time on the run,

603
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 4: just terrible. I thought that great to see Gay come

604
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: back and hit those I think psychologically that was tremendous,

605
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 4: you know, for him, for me, for you, and for

606
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 4: all the cult nation. And you know, particularly that one

607
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: outside the fifty board. We needed that and we needed

608
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: all three of them.

609
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

610
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: Now, one thing I'll say, you know, these aren't beautiful wins,

611
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 4: but they're wins, and they all count one. It's shit,

612
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: they all count one, no matter what. And I do

613
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: believe that when you're when you're playing a little bit underwhelming,

614
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 4: when you're not playing your best, but you win close games,

615
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: I think something special comes with that. There's a special

616
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 4: confidence that comes that you know you can play well

617
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, and I think that can propel

618
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: you to the next level. And we've seen flashes of

619
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: good play by this team in every aspect. So what

620
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: it really comes down to is putting it together and

621
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,240

649
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: betting partner of the Indianapolis Colts. All right, let's talk

650
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: about some superhero capes. As we teased in the previous segment. Now,

651
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: the win for the Colts a complete team effort, had

652
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: several unsung heroes stepping up in a big way on Sunday,

653
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: and players that don't normally have huge roles took on

654
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: extra responsibility against the Dolphins, namely linebacker Grant Stewart, running

655
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: back Tyler Goodson, and kicker Matt Gas. So let's hand

656
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: out some superhero capes one by one, and Joey begin

657
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: with Grant Stewart because up until yesterday he hadn't played

658
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 2: a snap all season on defense, but with EJ. Speed

659
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: out and a knee injury to Jalen Carlies if he

660
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: had to step up in a big way. And not

661
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: only did he play, he was a difference maker, totaling

662
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: a single game career high in tackles with eighteen of them.

663
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: He also had a tackle for loss and a special

664
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: team stop too. His tackle total is the most by

665
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: a Cults player since Shaq Leonard had nineteen at a

666
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: game in his rookie year back in twenty eighteen, and

667
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: it's also tied for the third most by a Cult

668
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: player since nineteen eighty four. So how about my man

669
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Grant Stewart. Also, Schaghu Alubi deserves hi credit as well,

670
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: helping fill in for EJ. Speed Again, it was kind

671
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: of all hands on deck, but Alubi had one of

672
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: the biggest player the game, had that force fumble on

673
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: Raheem Moster then recovered it himself, took it back eighteen

674
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: yards set up a touchdown for the Colts. So, Joe,

675
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: what kind of kudos are we looking at here between

676
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: Grant Stewart and shagu Aloubi stepping up big time for

677
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: the Colts on defense.

678
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: Matt superhero. Indeed, when you talk about those guys, I

679
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: ain't calling them backup linebackers because you know the standards

680
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: a standard and they played like starters. And I think

681
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: what's most impressive for me about Stuart is it's one

682
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 3: thing Matt and coach knows this. If you're a backup,

683
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: but you know the starter's hurt all week and you're

684
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: going into it and you know that you're starting, that's

685
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: completely different than all of a sudden early in the game,

686
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: Carliz goes out and says, hey, buddy, you're up. And

687
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: if you haven't prepared like a starter, if you haven't

688
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: watched film like a starter, if you haven't been on

689
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: the game plan like a starter, it's going to show

690
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: up on tape. But that shows the preparation that Stuart has.

691
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: And you know, outside of Indianapolis and Westfield of training camp,

692
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: not a lot of people know that name. But I

693
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: tell you why. I know we've all watched him a ton.

694
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: He's a thumper. He's not afraid to hit you. He's

695
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: going to take on that guard straight on and knock

696
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: him back and make the play. What impressed me most

697
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: is how well he played in space, chasing down plays,

698
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: sideline to sideline. He's got that long hair out of

699
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: the helmet, and he played like his hair was on

700
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: fire all afternoon. It was great to see. I mean

701
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: he was all over the field and we talked about

702
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: eighteen tackles for a guy that's playing his first ever

703
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: snap in a game. Are you kidding me? Coach, I

704
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: know you'd want to coach him on that defensive side

705
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: of the football.

706
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 4: Well, he's a real banger. And if you've been out

707
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: to practice every day and you've watched him in preseason games,

708
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: this guy has always produced. As Ron Meyer used to say,

709
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 4: he is a rolling ball of Butcher knaws. This guy.

710
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 4: He is fast and he is explosive, and you've seen

711
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 4: that on special teams. I thought two great plays of note.

712
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: I thought running Huntley down in space, he really closed.

713
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: If you look at that, he really closes and makes

714
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: a superb open field tackle. And then the big hit

715
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 4: on Ingol. You know that ends up causing the fumble.

716
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: It didn't cause it, but he stands him up, he

717
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: assaults him. If you do that at twelve o'clock at

718
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: night and broad Ruffle, you're you get arrested on that.

719
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 4: I mean, he just assaulted him and held him up there.

720
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: You know, let Zaire knock it off. But that was

721
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: that was two plays. Want to step up in the

722
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: hole and blow and then the and then the space play.

723
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 4: So I think he did a terrific job. You know,

724
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 4: I knew he was going to play a lot because

725
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 4: we were they were going to be in the base

726
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: defense more than ever with twenty one personnel, so he

727
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: was definitely definitely ready. And Alube, you know, Olivia has

728
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: always been a playmaker. You know, per plays a little bit.

729
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: He reminds me a little bit of Lewis, you know,

730
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: whenever whenever he's in there, he makes the play. He

731
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: finds a way to do that. And you know, he

732
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: was opportunistic. Blackman made a good tackle on that play

733
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: and he came out on a late strip and then

734
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 4: returned it really well. So, you know, and I think

735
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 4: kudos too, kudos goes to Ballard. First of all, Ballard's

736
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: others have really made the difference here in the last

737
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: two weeks. I've pointed them all out, but I mean

738
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 4: we've had guys that are low roster guys that have

739
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: played really well the last two weeks, and that that's

740
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 4: roster soundness. And then give you know, give Richard Smith

741
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: a little credit. You know, at linebacker. I mean to

742
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: get these guys ready, you know, almost everybody he's ever

743
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 4: had has risen from the ashes, low draft picks, whatever,

744
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: and have played really, really well. And he is the

745
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: longest he has the longest years active in the National

746
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 4: Football League as assistant. So those guys don't get a

747
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 4: lot of credit. But everybody that he's touched has actually

748
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 4: reached their maximum output.

749
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. And speaking of reaching their

750
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: full potential, Tyler Goodson. All right, So the Colts finish

751
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: with the ground game of one hundred and fifty six

752
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: yards on thirty six carries rick both of those number

753
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: season highs for the season and carrying the weight for

754
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: the offense was the ground game because of the up

755
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 2: and down nature of Anthony Richardson. So Jonathan Taylor didn't

756
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: play for the third straight game out with his ankle,

757
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: but the run game cracked one hundred yard level for

758
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: the first time this season without him in the lineup,

759
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: so that was good to see. But Tyler Goodson, he

760
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: received the most carries among running backs. He had fourteen

761
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: brought explosion to the Colts ground game and in the

762
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: last three games he has three runs of at least

763
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: seventeen yards scored his first career NFL touchdown on Sunday.

764
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: So you love the production on the field, but he

765
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: also just deserves a ton of praise because he steps

766
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: in without Jonathan Taylor handles himself an incredibly class manner,

767
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: especially when you factor in how the end of last

768
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: year ended right that fourth down drop against the Texans

769
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen. Since then, Rick, he's been nothing but

770
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: class on and off the field. You have to feel

771
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: really good about the way he stepped up in the

772
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: last couple of games.

773
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 4: Yes, he is, and he has definitely washed that memory away.

774
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. You know, we talked about this,

775
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 4: you and I off air before the game. He has

776
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: caught my eye almost from the beginning of training camp.

777
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 4: He has always been that playmaker. He is a terrific guy.

778
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: If you can get him some space, if you can

779
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 4: get him a crack. You know, just remember a week

780
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 4: ago he has a forty one yard kickoff return that

781
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 4: gets called back because of a penalty. I mean, this

782
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 4: kid is in twenty seven carries, he's averaging four point seven.

783
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 4: I mean, he has done a really good job. Again,

784
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: he's not a power player, but he's a vision, cut

785
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 4: and space guy, really and truly can go. You know,

786
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: his first he's got to feel great about that, his

787
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 4: first NFL touchdown, which we really needed. And again, just

788
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 4: a terrific player right now is really filled in. And

789
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 4: just to mention another guy, because Shane did this without

790
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 4: you know, without even being asked unsolicited. You know, I

791
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 4: think you got to give Sermon a little credit. Sermon

792
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 4: came in there in that fourth quarter, in that four

793
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 4: minute drill, and he made a couple of runs where

794
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: there wasn't anything there and he helped keep that ball

795
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: moving that we kept the ball for four minutes before

796
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: the field goal. Still that you know, if it wasn't

797
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 4: for that time out, you know, it still was shaky

798
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 4: at the end, but we did hold the ball and

799
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: Sermon was a big part of that.

800
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

801
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all right, Joe, how big is the cape for

802
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: Tyler Goodson in your eyes?

803
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: He's true? In my opinion, Matt, he's established himself as

804
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 3: our clear number two back at least running the football,

805
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: and now you can't just put him on the field

806
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 3: versus run plays. You got to break tendencies, et cetera.

807
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 3: But he has that explosion when he catches the ball

808
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: that again he's going to take something that might be

809
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 3: one or two yards and he's going to rip it.

810
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: And along with Goodson and again, these guys got to

811
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: hold down the four till we get the premiere Jonathan

812
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 3: Taylor back, which hopefully is sooner than later. Shout out

813
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 3: to Trey Sermon. Coach mentioned him running the ball late

814
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: in the game. Let's talk about his pass protection and

815
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 3: why he's so key. Is really that three down back

816
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: in Shane's offense when Ryman was blocking Chop Robinson there

817
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 3: on the left side and Sermon came up and chipped

818
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: him and gave him a shot to the ribs. It

819
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: caused him to leave the game. That's that type of

820
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 3: physicality and the attitude that you want to have. And

821
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: I love to see that the offensive lineman. I mean,

822
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: he just took out Robinson right there on that left side.

823
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: So I think both backs have really done well in

824
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 3: JT's absence, and again let's give them both the cape.

825
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: But let's hopefully we get our superhero back sooner than later,

826
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: because again, part of the beauty of Richardson and his

827
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: explosive running the ball is the explosiveness of Jonathan Taylor.

828
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: But again, Miami's pass defense is really good. Now they're

829
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: number one in the NFL. And I give Shane credit

830
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 3: for keeping the ball on the ground, doing what we

831
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: needed to do and grinding out this game. But again,

832
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: shout out to Sermon and shout out number one Cape

833
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: to Goodson for them getting those tough yards against that

834
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 3: Miami defense.

835
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, all right, Our last Cape that we're

836
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: going to hand out here goes to Matt Gay on

837
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: special teams. Incredibly reliable on Sunday, made all of his kicks,

838
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: including a season high three for three on field goals,

839
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: knocked down a huge Sea He's in long fifty two

840
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: yarder there at the end of the first half to

841
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: give the Colts some life and some points going into

842
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: the locker room. It was Matt's first make, by the

843
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: way this season over fifty yards, and after starting the

844
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: season three for five with a couple of misses over fifty,

845
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: he's bounced back in a big way these last three games.

846
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: He's perfect seven for seven on field goals since Week five. Joe,

847
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: So in your eyes as met Gay back as he

848
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: back to being mister clutch, making a big kick for

849
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: the Colts in a big moment there at the end

850
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: of the first half.

851
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh he's back, and it was so great to see

852
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: over fifty. I think that fifty yard line field goal

853
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 3: in today's NFL was really a line of demarcation. And again,

854
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 3: he was having an okay season before. He had been

855
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: coming on the last couple weeks, as you said, four

856
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 3: for four over the last two but he hadn't made

857
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 3: one from fifty yet. And what I loved is that

858
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: thing was right down the middle. It wasn't wobbly, It

859
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: didn't just sneak through the uprights. It didn't bounce the

860
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 3: upright and hit in or bounce off like Miami's kicker did.

861
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: But that's great to see because Matt Gay is one

862
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 3: of the premier kickers in the league. And again the

863
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 3: Colts are grinding out these wins with complimentary football Matt.

864
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: Just like last week Rego AFC Special Teams Player of

865
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: the Week, this week you give a game ball in

866
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 3: a Superhero cape to Matt Gay. This team is finding

867
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: ways to win when our offense or maybe our defense

868
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: isn't at his best. In the kicking game, again often

869
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: not talked about, but just as important in football it's

870
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 3: a third of the game, those special teams yards and

871
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: most importantly, those points give Gay the cape. That was

872
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 3: awesome to see, especially booming that one from fifty plus.

873
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, confidence is everything, you know, it's everything in sports,

874
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 4: and particularly with the skill of kicking, maybe more important

875
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 4: than any position there on the football field. And I think,

876
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, particularly the idea of the fifty plus obviously

877
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: we needed it. The three points really made the difference.

878
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: By the end of the game. We went in happy

879
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: from that standpoint. But I think for him it's the confidence.

880
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 4: It's you know, it's getting that first pickle out of

881
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: the jar, but if you're not careful, it has become

882
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 4: a mental block. And I feel like making that first one,

883
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 4: getting that pickle out of the jar, he's gonna be

884
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 4: in good shape. He's gonna be the guy we thought

885
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: he was, you know. And you gotta give stike In

886
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 4: a little credit. What Stikeen does a really good job

887
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 4: of is he protects his players and coaches. In other words,

888
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 4: when he was struggling, you know, it's always I have

889
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 4: total confidence. Our defense is number thirty two, but I

890
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 4: have total confidence, you know. And when Richardson goes ten

891
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: for twenty five. He says it's on me, it's not

892
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 4: on him, And you know, you know, I think that

893
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 4: kind of stuff probably helped Matt along the way, no.

894
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: Question about that. Yeah, the pickle definitely out of the jar.

895
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: Now for Mat Gay good sign right there. That's a

922
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 2: Adam is up first here. He's asking, Hey, Joe Wrights,

923
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: I know Richardson has to play in order to get

924
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 2: better and to develop, but when will we quote unquote

925
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: know what he is as it relates to being a

926
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: steady NFL franchise quarterback.

927
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: That's a great question, Adam, And I know we're in

928
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 3: such an impatient society, but in my opinion, you're gonna

929
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 3: know a lot more in February than you know now.

930
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: And the reality is he's only played, you know, basically

931
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 3: half the year in terms of games. And I think

932
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: what gets lost is he had the injury last year,

933
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 3: and of course he can watch film and you can

934
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 3: learn from watching the film, but there's nothing like being

935
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: on the grass. And he missed that whole season of practice.

936
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 3: So you know, really his biggest issues in terms of

937
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 3: reading defenses and accuracy on those short and intermediate throws,

938
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 3: he just hasn't had a lot of time. So again,

939
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 3: I know fans don't want to hear it, but you

940
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: got to be patient. You got to let it play out,

941
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 3: see how the rest of the season goes. But I

942
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: think you'll know a lot more in February than you

943
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 3: know here sitting here, you know, in late October.

944
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's certainly fair there. Okay, this is Myron. Myron

945
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: is asking hey, Rick, what can we do differently on

946
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: defense to get better against the run? We seem to

947
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 2: routinely give up too many favorable runs to keep teams

948
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: sustaining drives.

949
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would have had two fifty if not for

950
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 4: penalties one eight eight. This was a team that averaged

951
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: thirty nine coming in. You know, number one, if we

952
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 4: get Buckner back, that'll certainly be a help. Because right now,

953
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 4: if you take Grover out of the equation. Up front,

954
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 4: what you have is a lot of Olympians and no anchors.

955
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 4: You have no real football anchors. Pay is close, but

956
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 4: the rest of them they get blown around, they get

957
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 4: reached as it was one of the worst defensive line

958
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: performances that I've seen. Really, it would be hard to

959
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: play linebacker behind that. And the second thing is we

960
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: attract the runs. You know, not simply because we've played

961
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 4: against bad quarterbacks. That has something to do with it,

962
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: but more importantly, they know where we're going to be.

963
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 4: For forty two games. We've lined up in that static

964
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 4: over we don't move it. We don't which means bring

965
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 4: the five technique underneath, we don't pirate, which means bring

966
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: the tight side tackle and end on a slant. When

967
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 4: you're playing with guys that are subpar, you can't just

968
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 4: sit there and take it. You got to move them.

969
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 4: You can't just sit there. And we've done it for

970
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 4: forty two weeks. And basically what happens is everybody knows

971
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 4: where you're going to be, so they come out, they

972
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 4: drive it into bubble. And then what this team did

973
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 4: with their twenty one personnel is they would motion or

974
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: shift the y over and create a bigger bubble, and

975
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: they had a lead back er within Gold all the time.

976
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: They just hammered right in there because they know where

977
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 4: you're going to be. We didn't start moving and shift

978
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: with them till the second half. So you know, it's

979
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 4: a combination players and a combination scheme. But with Joe

980
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 4: mixing coming up this week, we better fix that one.

981
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: Yep, no question about it, all right. The mailbag segment

982

987
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: come back. The Texans are up next. They're five and two,

988
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: but they did lose to the Packers yesterday, so Sunday's

989
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: game is a very big one for the Colts, who

990
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 2: looked to win the AFC South for the first time

991
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: since twenty fourteen. A win would go a long way

992
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: and accomplishing that, so we'll talk about the matchup, break

993
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: down the standings, and get you on the way to

1008
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: Sunday for the Colts. Week number eight, the Texans and

1009
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: the Colts get together for the second time this season.

1010
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: The Texans are in first place in the AFC South

1011
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: five and two. The Colts are just a game back

1012
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: at four and three, so they could be tied at

1013
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 2: the end of Week eight. Coming up this Sunday down

1014
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 2: in Houston and Joe for you, I know it's a

1015
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: big step here. The Colts are over five hundred for

1016
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: the first time. And now, like you said earlier, it

1017
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: feels like they're embarking on their toughest part of the schedule.

1018
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: Two weeks on the road, coming up against some really

1019
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: good offenses, and maybe one of the biggest games of

1020
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: the year here now Texans at their place on Sunday,

1021
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: could be a potential statement game for the Colts if

1022
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 2: all goes well.

1023
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm ready for Houston. We obviously beat him

1024
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: last year down there, lost the heartbreaker. Last year, lost

1025
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: a heartbreaker again. They do'll complete that unbelievable pass to

1026
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 3: Nico Collins were winning that football game. But I know

1027
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: the Texans are five and two, Matt, but you know

1028
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 3: they beat the Bears by six. They have a late

1029
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 3: touchdown to beat the Jags. I don't think they're the

1030
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 3: apple of everybody's eye, like the national media wants to

1031
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: make them. And we got a great opportunity to go

1032
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 3: down there, beat them on their home field, get tied

1033
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 3: up in the division, and make this thing a race

1034
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: with two months to go. But Coach, what do you

1035
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 3: think about Houston? Watching them on film here over the

1036
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 3: last month or so since we played them.

1037
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 4: Well, they've got good numbers, and I think the perception

1038
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 4: is not necessarily the reality here. I think, you know,

1039
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 4: I think first of all, they really have one issue

1040
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 4: that really helps us is Collins is going to be

1041
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 4: on ir He's been the Colts killer, he's been the

1042
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 4: one big play guy for him and he's not there.

1043
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 4: So that takes a lot away from their offense. Of course,

1044
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 4: we've got to stop Mixon. We can't let Mixon do

1045
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: what he did to us last week. But you know what,

1046
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 4: in reality, here's perception versus reality. The last two games

1047
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 4: we lost one by two and one by four. I mean,

1048
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 4: the point differential is so close. All we have to

1049
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 4: do is take all our really good flashes and we

1050
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 4: see them up and down both sides of the ball.

1051
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: Take those flashes, make them a sixty minute game, and

1052
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 4: we win the game, and we take over the AFC

1053
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 4: South again in Houston.

1054
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 3: Yep.

1055
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Now, two things to keep in mind there the Colts,

1056
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: they have played the most one score games in the

1057
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: NFL this season. And for Houston, to your point, Rick,

1058
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 2: they have a different point differential. I should say, on

1059
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 2: the season of plus six, that's it, so very winnable

1060
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: game coming up on Sunday for the Colts.

1061
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, there's no doubt in my mind. I feel good

1062
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 4: about it as well. And I think there's, like I

1063
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 4: said before, there's something about playing not to your best

1064
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 4: but winning, and there's just something that comes with that.

1065
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 4: It's a different it's a unique kind of confidence.

1066
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt about it. And right now the Colts

1067
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: have it. We'll see if it translates into week eight

1068
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: down in Houston. That's all the time we've got tonight,

1069
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: Joe and Rick. Fantastic job shate you guys. Always enjoy
