00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: again later on this evening, the first of two in fact,

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: this weekend to back to back in Houston for the

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: Pacers tonight back at home just right down Georgia Street

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: here at Gambridge Field House tomorrow night against the Orlando Magic.

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: Here's the burning question of the week. Are you ready

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the Coats gonna win in Las Vegas behind a fifth

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter comeback from Matt Ryan of the season. Matt

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: Ryan back in the conversation about being the quarterback in

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, This may make my head hurt with

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: your reaction to this, that's the case. Do the Colts

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: still need to address the quarterback position in the draft.

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: This is really going to make my head hurt. Could

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: you get away by signing another veteran during free agency?

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: That is your burning question? So I guess what it

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: comes down to. Go to see if Casey value. Do

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you think Matt Ryan is anything more than the starting

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: quarterback for the remainder of the season at JMB ten seventy.

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead and send that to me. Tell me what

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: you think, you guys know what I think they got

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: to go out and draft a quarterback. But we'll see

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: what you think about that. That is tonight's burning question,

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: as we always start, it is Voice of the Colts

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and his conversation with a week plus deep

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: now and a first win of his career as an

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: interim head coach. So the Colts Jeff Saturday, Matt, all right,

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: thank you, jam Va. It's time now for the head

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Coaches report tonight on Colts Happy Hour with interim head

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: coach Jeff's Saturday And Jeff, certainly this week was more

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: normal for you than last week. Have you settled into

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: the job to this point? Have you found a degree

52
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: of normalcy yet? Yeah? I felt like offensively we were

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: much further ahead we had. We had done some stuff

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: on Friday, obviously getting ready for this week kind of

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: so just the normal sea of getting to a regular schedule,

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: having all day Monday to game plan and prep for

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: those things, and you know, he just gives you more hours.

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it felt like we were definitely ahead in

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: our progression, more of more from a staff perspective than

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: a player perspective, But yeah, made made a lot of difference.

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: You turned their offense back over to Matt Ryan at quarterback.

62
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Kind of a two parter. What did you make of

63
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: his performance in Las Vegas and how impressed have you

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: been with how he's handled his situation the last couple

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, listen, he I thought he did a

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: fantastic job in Vegas. I thought he commanded the offense

67
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: extremely well understood when you know when to put pressure

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: on him when not too got the ball out of

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: his hand on time, all of the things that we

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: had talked about leading up of just making sure that

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: we all play in phase and that we understand how

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: this offense functions best. But he did a really good

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: job and not putting too much on himself. You know

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: that that's all ways. He's don't worry when you talk

75
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: about like how he's handled it. He's handled like a

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: pros pro right he was. He was in Sam's corner,

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: did a great job with Sam of helping him get

78
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: prepped and get ready to play. I felt like both

79
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: Sam and Nick did the same for Matt, but not

80
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: trying to do too much right on one guy can't

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: win and lose games, and so let let's go out

82
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: there and be a part of this and just play

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: your role. And I thought he did that exceptionally well,

84
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: because when you're coming back and you kind of feel

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: like you may have something to prove, you know what

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that was my big concern. But man, he

87
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: he didn't fall for the trap, and I thought he

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: did a really good job. The offensive line played very

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: well as well. Can you pinpoint why that group succeeded

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: against the Raiders and is that transferable going forward? Yeah?

91
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: I thought Strauss did a great job with him last week,

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, really keen and on the details of what

93
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: we need to do against Vegas, making sure guys understood,

94
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, the way that we wanted to attack him,

95
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: what was important, you know, what were the I call

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: him vital points, you know what, what's vital for us

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that we have to that we have

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: to get accomplished. I thought he did a really nice

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: job of that. I thought the guy's week of practice

100
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: leading up, I saw them gain confidence throughout the week,

101
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: you know, trying different techniques, making sure they were you know,

102
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: they weren't afraid to try some new stuff if they

103
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: wanted to. And it just breeds that confidence that when

104
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: you get into the game, you're prepped for it. It's

105
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: not all gonna be perfect. Listen, we all you know,

106
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: we're all gonna have bad plays. It's how quickly can

107
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: you get rid of them? I equate the old line

108
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: to defensive backs. Right, we're the only guys who got

109
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: to play going backwards a lot, and the only time

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: you get highlights when you do something bad, it's right,

111
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: So it's like, just just just get rid of it.

112
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next play. And I thought

113
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: those guys did it, did well in all phases of that.

114
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: Also on offense, Parks Frasier, the offensive play caller, he's

115
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: got one game under his belt. What's the next step

116
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: for him, especially in this game against the Eagles where

117
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: their head coach Nick Sirianni has intimate knowledge and understanding

118
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: of the Colts offense. Yeah, no, absolutely, And listen, I'm

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: sure they have. I'm sure there's been a lot of

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: communication with guys on this former staff that are you know,

121
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: having conversations. But you know, we've we've all told parts,

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: he's got to call the game as he sees fit. Right,

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: We've all we've all contributed throughout the week of what

124
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: we think will be effective against this football team. We'll

125
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: put it all together in the plan and complete it today.

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: But in reality, you have to have a feel for

127
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: the game, and we'll all help get him information. We'll

128
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: help give him. Hey, here's where we feel like our

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: matchups are best. We're gonna give you and get him

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: as much info as possible and then allow the game

131
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: to come to him. And you know, I think when

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: you get into quote calling plays, the reality is the

133
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: way that you have it simplified makes the game pace

134
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: go quicker. And I thought he did a really good job,

135
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping we'd do the same this week. Now.

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: The Eagles coming into this game, they're eight and one,

137
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: and I know they stubbed their toe last time out

138
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: against the Commanders on Monday Night football. But when you

139
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: turn the tape on on Philadelphia, do they look like

140
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: an eight and one team? I mean, do they look

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: like contenders? Absolutely? Listen, this this football team is uh,

142
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, if they're not the top team in the NFL,

143
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: they're they're up there. So um, when I was when

144
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: I was working with ESPN, I would tell you they

145
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: were probably the best team upfront offensive line and defensive line.

146
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: They can attack you their physical Uh, they're smart, and savvy.

147
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: They have explosive players with ag on the outside, and

148
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Smith can do it. I know Goddard's down, but their

149
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: backup tight ends can go when their running backs can go.

150
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: And then you add Hurts, who is a guy who

151
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: can throw it and beat you. You know, he's beat

152
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: teams from the pocket, and he's beat teams with his legs,

153
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: so our defense has their work cut out for him.

154
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: You flip it over. It's it's the most turnover driven

155
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: football team in the NFL. Like they get them, they

156
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: they practice it. They punched the ball, they tipped the balls,

157
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: and and tips and overthrows. You know, uh, defense always

158
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: say that, you know, we got to get those. So

159
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: um they've done in every phase of the game, which

160
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: would tend to believe that's how you get to eight

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: and one. They've checked every box, So we got to

162
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: work cut out. Listen, I'm not gonna mix words. This

163
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: is a this is an excellent football team, and our

164
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: execution is going to be the only thing that can

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: keep us in it. When you go up against the

166
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 1: quarterback like Jalen Hurts, who can beat you with his feet,

167
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: with his legs, he's just as dangerous in that department

168
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: as he is throwing the football. What are the key

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: principles of slowing a guy like that down who can

170
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: create an explosive plays in several different ways. The line's

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: got to control the line of scrimmage. I mean, ultimately,

172
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. If the d line

173
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: can can can post up and make Hurts slow down right,

174
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: make a cut a line of scrimmage, or have to

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: bend back or move around and keep him kind of

176
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: trapped in there. I think that that that's that's always

177
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of the key when you get you know, you

178
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: get guys who are equally dangerous legs and arm and

179
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: so um. You want to make him for you want

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: to force him to throw the ball on the run.

181
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's just stats, right, Like it's harder for

182
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: most guys to the ball on the run and they listen,

183
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: he's still gonna make his fair share. I mean that's

184
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: just reality. But if you can get him moving, you know,

185
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: either direction, just and try to mess up the timing

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: of the throws and the timing of the routes, that's

187
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you got to do. Third down

188
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: is enormous. Like getting off the field on third down

189
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: can't live with a ton of conversion. So um, you know,

190
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I think I think the defense has done a good

191
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: job of trying to simplify it. But ultimately execution is

192
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: going to be the key. But that defensive front is

193
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be huge for us. All right, Lastly, coach,

194
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: what other keys do you have for this game? In

195
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: order for the Colts to get the win against Philadelphia,

196
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: got to be physical. I thought I thought last week

197
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: the most physical team won and and you know, after

198
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: Philly's game against the Commanders, you know, they've been talked

199
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: at all week, and uh, I said it early. I

200
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: was like, you know, the the the there's a proverb

201
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: in the Bible that talks about you know, uh, fire,

202
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: refine silver or you know, test silver, praise, test the

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: hearts of man. And so the reality is we've heard praise,

204
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: they've heard the negative, right, and so but you got

205
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: you got to go back to back. We gotta stack

206
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: wins and make sure that we're we're going through our process.

207
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: But this team will come out. They're gonna come out

208
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: ready to rock, and they're a physical football team and

209
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: they want to get back to that. We have to

210
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: we have to meet that intensity, no doubt about it.

211
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: That's the Head Coaches Report with Interram head coach Jeff Saturday,

257
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,960

Speaker 1: the Colts. And from the radio booth, it is the

259
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor and Rick Venturi right

260
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: now to tell us all we need to know. Matt,

261
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Jane Beats time for Inside Football

262
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: with Rick Venturi here a part of Colts Happy Hour

263
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

264
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: Let's talk about how the Colts knock off the eight

265
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: and one Eagles. Let's find out with Rick vent Terry

266
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: on the blueprints. Rick, let's start first with a Philly offense.

267
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: They've got rising star Jalen Hurts at quarterback. He's one

268
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: of only four NFL quarterbacks this season to record twenty

269
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: or more total touchdowns, and he ranks fifth in total

270
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: yards per game on the season, and as you said,

271
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: very dangerous as a runner and a passer. Miles Sanders

272
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: on pace for a one thousand yards season at the

273
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: running back position, already has six touchdowns. He's a slash yer,

274
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: he can cut, he can burst for big plays. A. J. Brown,

275
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: the former Titan, the Colts killer, came over in a

276
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: trade during the first round of the draft, and he's

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: blended in seamlessly there in the city of brotherly Love.

278
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: He's tied for the fifth most receiving touchdowns of the

279
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: NFL with six and ranked second and yards per catch

280
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: this season at over sixteen. A big blow to them.

281
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard got banged up on Monday night against the Commanders.

282
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: He's not going to play on Sunday. Very athletic and

283
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: dangerous tight end. This is a very very good offense

284
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a great test, great challenge there

285
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: for the Colts. The Colts defense ranks top five in

286
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: the NFL as well. This is good on good when

287
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles have the football here, absolutely and you know,

288
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator, what I look at them they

289
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: really stress you. Number one, we have to defend Sanders

290
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: on those inside zone plays. We can't overload the defense

291
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: outside and let him split it and then Gainwell will

292
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: come in on third down and run the passing offense.

293
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Number fourteen. Now, as I said, it's a direct running game,

294
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: but it isn't like you could just pack everybody in there,

295
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: because here comes, here comes the fake of the zone read,

296
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: here comes the RPO on the outside. So it's really

297
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: important that our interior linemen and we're good at now

298
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: this is our wheelhouse, Buckner and Stewart and our two

299
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: inside linebackers really play good inside. Those are the guys

300
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: that have to play great inside on Sanders because your

301
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: ends have to play with real discipline. They can't fly

302
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: down close down every time we hand the ball off

303
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: to Sanders. They have to play squaring down. And then

304
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: your safeties in corners got to be able to tackle

305
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: on the edge, and you're going to have to play

306
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: x amount of man to man coverage no matter what

307
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: you call it, because your secondary has got to be involved.

308
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: But number one, you've got to be able to handle

309
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: those direct drums because if they can run those and

310
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: sometimes when they get in trouble. They just come back

311
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: to that. They just feed it to Sanders. So number one,

312
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: you can't let him going north and south. Number two,

313
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: you've got to set the edge on Hurts. Now most

314
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: of the time that will be either with it and

315
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: who's outside or a safety coming down off the edge

316
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: or a nickel or somebody like that, because he is

317
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: going to run it. He in certain situations, he's going

318
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: to run a lot. If he's in the red zone,

319
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: you have to treat him like another running back because

320
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: then all the NCAA designers come in. So you've got

321
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: to be really you cannot let them beat you on

322
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: the blackboard with those designer runs, and he'll run them all.

323
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: So again, it's direct runs by your interior players. It's

324
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: in discipline and safety's tackling on the edge on the

325
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: NCAA part of it. Okay, number three, we've got to

326
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: have a really good plan and a lot of it's

327
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: going to come down to being able to play tough

328
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: one on one and obviously Gilmore will you know, will

329
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: be challenged. But we can't let a J. Brown go wild.

330
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: You know. Again, the Steelers, he just killed the Steelers.

331
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: He beat Witherspoon their corner like he just beat them

332
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: like a drum. I don't think that can happen with us.

333
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I think Gilmore is a good match. But because of

334
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the versatility of their offense on the edge of the quarterback,

335
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: there's going to be x amount of man coverage out there,

336
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: and we got to do a real good job on Aj.

337
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: You got to keep him under control, nothing easy, don't

338
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: let him get over the top. He's very good and

339
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: you've seen this. He's very good on the fifty fifty ball.

340
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: Gilmore is very good on the fifty fifty ball. So

341
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: it'll be a really good match, but you have to

342
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: stop him. And then number two, you've got to have

343
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: a scheme, particularly on third down, on those third and

344
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: five to sevens, that's when Smith is really going to

345
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: get there. Now Smith can run, Smith can really go,

346
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: but he's more where AJ is, more outside the numbers.

347
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Smith is more of a crease numbers to numbers guy.

348
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: And then, as I said, he's become this schematic guy.

349
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: When the third and six, he'll be in a stack.

350
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: He'll stack release and run an option. You know, he's

351
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: the guy that they want to go to. Now, security

352
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: blanket for for the quarterback has been got it and

353
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: he's gone, and I think that helps us. Now, I

354
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised I'm going to pull another name out

355
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: of the hat. I be surprised that the third wide receiver,

356
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal, Okay, who we know well, doesn't now take

357
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: on a little bit bigger role. His role has really

358
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: been subdued because Goddard was one of the three amigos,

359
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: all three guys having over forty catchers. I think the

360
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: two guys they'll use to pick up slack and passing

361
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: downs will be Pascal who will become the third receiver

362
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: and can kind of he kind of plays a semi

363
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: tight end type receiver, so I look for that. I'm

364
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: anticipating that and then Gain well, you know the running backs,

365
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think I think that's it from

366
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: a receiver standpoint. Then I think the biggest key issue

367
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: I talked about stopping him on the NCAA, and this

368
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: is hurts at the number two must was control the

369
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: NCAA part of it. But I think number four, the

370
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: other thing that's really critical is when you do get

371
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: him in passing downs, you want to keep him in.

372
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I would rather have him thrown out of the pocket,

373
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: then I would scre ambling around, running around, because when

374
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: he gets out there, first of all, he can take

375
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: it as long as he has to take it, and

376
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: he throws exceptionally well as the new modern day quarterback

377
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: does on the run. I think what's really important is

378
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: you condense him in that pocket and you cut down

379
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: any escape lanes. What our ends can't do this week.

380
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: You can't just rush up field and run past the quarterback.

381
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: On a quarterback like this, we always just to say,

382
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: never get deeper than quarterback depth. If you can cut

383
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: the angle and get him, fine, but if not, don't

384
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: keep running because if you keep running, you're going to

385
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: open up those inside lanes. Don't get just started underneath.

386
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: Don't have three to one side and one to the

387
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: other side. Good balance, rush, close, condense. I notice a

388
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: falling off of accuracy when he's in the pocket and

389
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: it is condensed. So I think that's really really critical

390
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: in that regard. They have a couple of linemen. I

391
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: would work on the one thing. You know, I think

392
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: the weakest part of their offensive line is there left tackle.

393
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: A lotta I think you can get to him, but

394
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: the guy you gotta work on and I think you

395
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: because you've got to keep your ends closed, is you

396
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: gotta get Buckner on Somalo, the right guard number fifty six.

397
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: I think he is the week sister. I don't think

398
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: he can handle Buckner. I'm not sure I would play

399
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: one down this game without Buckner on him. But again,

400
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: the biggest thing kind of starts and ends with hurts.

401
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: That's Rick Venturi. I'm Matt Taylor. This is Inside Football

402
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: breaking down the blueprints for the Colts to beat the Eagles.

403
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: Let's roll over to the Philadelphia defense. This unit now

404
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: mastermind by a former Colts secondary coach, Jonathan Gannon at

405
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and the Eagles rick giving up only about

406
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: eighteen points per game, despite the thirty two they allowed

407
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: on Monday to Washington. They are elite, elite and slowing

408
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: teams down through the air. They've held four teams to

409
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards on the season through the air.

410
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: They rank third in total yards. They have the fourth

411
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: most sacks in the NFL. And it all starts up front.

412
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham at defensive end. He's been there for thirteen seasons.

413
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: He owns the fourth most sacks and Eagles history with

414
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: sixty two. They also have mainstays Fletcher Cox and Josh Sweat.

415
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Jay Von Hargrave and Assan Reddick have combined for thirteen

416
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: and a half sacks on the season, and then there

417
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: in the secondary, they're pretty multiple. They rely on Darius

418
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: Slay at the cornerback position and they've got a star

419
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: at safety, c J. Gardner. Johnson leads the NFL with

420
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: a career high six picks on the season, and in fact,

421
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: he's the only Eagle since the nineteen seventy merger to

422
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: record five consecutive games with a pick, and he's the

423
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: first safety in the NFL to accomplish that since twenty fifteen.

424
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: So that's the layout for the Eagles on defense, Rick,

425
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: what else stands out to you about Philly on tape?

426
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: On defense? First of all, you're going to be looking

427
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: at an over defense or a double sinc defense, okay,

428
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: And so you have to have some audibles in your

429
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: running game. If they're in the over defense, which means

430
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: that they've shifted over to the tight end, you want

431
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: to bang that thing weak and you want to bang

432
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: it quick. You want to get in at bubble and

433
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: you want to pound that football. Again, the way that

434
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: Washington took that ball for forty minutes is they played

435
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: mask ball and gap ball, and we have to do

436
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: the same thing. Now we're not as good as they

437
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: are in gap ball, but we can play mashball by

438
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: mask ball. I mean, they just ran it direct, wedged

439
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: it with their offensive line, pushed it and they didn't

440
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: get big yardage, but they kept it moving. Then when

441
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: you know, then when Philadelphia jumped into their double sink,

442
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: then they ran the off tackle powers, the off tackle ots.

443
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: That's when they gapped them. So it's a combination in

444
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: my world of mushball, you know, mask ball, which is straightforward,

445
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: and then gap ball when they get in that double sink.

446
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: And I really think that's critical. I think, you know, again,

447
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: they banged out one hundred and fifty two yards forty minutes.

448
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: That wasn't by accident, So it's really important. We did

449
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: re establish Jonathan last week. I think it's going to

450
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: be much tougher this week, but I think there's some

451
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: degree we have to do the same thing. I think

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: number two. I talked about all their strengths. I think

453
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: their biggest weakness is Bradberry at the right corner, and

454
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they undress their corners almost every first

455
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: and second down. You almost know that on first and

456
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: second and five or less that those corners are either

457
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: man demand by themselves or zone by themselves. There's very

458
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: seldom do they get help. They don't play a lot

459
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: of two unless it's third down, and even their four

460
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: they don't help them. And when they do roll one

461
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: way or another, it's always weak. So you can safely

462
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: say Michael always is to say, I want I want

463
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: situations that are always or never. Okay, I don't want

464
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: anything in between. That wasn't analytical, but it's what a

465
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: great coach said. And so what I'm saying is you

466
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: pretty much know that your strong side corner, whoever that

467
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: receiver is, is going to be one on one. So

468
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I would like, I'm going after Bradberry. I'm telling you,

469
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: I know I respect that front. They could stifle us,

470
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: they really could, and you can't be stubborn, but they

471
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: have a week sister in Bradberry. I want to go

472
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: after him now. I want to go after him with

473
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: Piercer Campbell. I don't as much as I like Pittman,

474
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: that's not the idea. I want to put the speed

475
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: over there. I saw him get ripped. I saw him

476
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: get ripped. You know, in games, I want to go

477
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: right after him on that right side. So I think

478
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: that's the key. And if I have to go strong

479
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: formation to the left to make sure I get that,

480
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. The number three, I think play

481
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: acts and misdirection is good against them. Now, with that,

482
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: you have to max protect because of that five man front,

483
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: but because they bring five most of the time, that

484
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: means they're only three under. That means they're only like

485
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: three under and three deep. So if you can get

486
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: those linebackers, those three guys moving one way, and even

487
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: when they're in cover four there's only three guys short.

488
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: If you can get a move in one may and

489
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: come across the grain or run even with Matt, run

490
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of a half boot half roll and

491
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: run those snapouts on cover four out into the flat,

492
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: I think you can totally and you know, and then

493
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: sometimes they try to drop those ends, but those ends

494
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: dropping from the line of scrimmage they get they get distorted.

495
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I think those misdirection, passes, boots, play action,

496
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: all those kinds of things are really good. And then

497
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: number four. In all of these again, you could go one, two, three,

498
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: four and make them all number one. We have got

499
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: to protect the passer here. This is a much greater challenge,

500
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know, and I don't I don't want

501
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: to be disrespectful, but the Raiders are the worst coach

502
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: defense and the worst talented defense. They can't rush the passer.

503
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: They're the last in passing their past percentage against his

504
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: last they're the worst. Now you're stepping up in class

505
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: and you've got some front guys and they haven't even

506
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: hardly played Quinn at all, and he they just acquired

507
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: him two weeks ago. But you talked about all those guys.

508
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: This is number three in the league, twenty nine sacks.

509
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: They're all guys. You know that that scares you a

510
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: little bit. You got Cox and Hargraves inside. You got

511
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: Graham who can play outside, who kicks inside. He got sweat,

512
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: he's a good power rusher off the edge. And then

513
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: you got rid of who they move around, who's really

514
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: really fast. So you know again what you know again,

515
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: Parks has got to do a good job, and it

516
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: may have to be different than he did last week.

517
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: Because No. Two teams are the same, but he's got

518
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: a command first down. We don't want to get in

519
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: disadvantage situations because our defensive line could you know, you know,

520
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: right now it's Cinderella and you know we look good,

521
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: but against certain teams you get behind into camp and

522
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: he's Cinderella. That coach can turn into a pumpkin and

523
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: a hurry. So you know, I think you have to

524
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: own first down. I'd say the two guys though, right

525
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: now that you really have to block because they're just

526
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: on fire. And there isn't no disrespect to Fletcher Cox.

527
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm even saying it, but Hard Graves

528
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: is playing as good as I've ever seen him in

529
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: the league right now, and right now he's primarily on

530
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: our right guard. So it'll be a challenge there for

531
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: the rookie and then a radical definitely be a challenge

532
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: for Ryman on the left side, that is Rick Mcherry

533
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,199

00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: see my boy get the job, I have to, you know,

576
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: abort all missions. I gotta go to support my man.

577
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: This is like this is big, you know, somebody who

578
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: played with to see them getting these positions and the

579
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: organizations that a family just like, man, I gotta I

580
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: gotta be there for this cause we're gonna get that victory.

581
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be right there to support my boy

582
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: because you know it's only right. It's ed you and

583
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: James with us. Was he a guy that you played

584
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: with in the past that maybe you thought one of

585
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: these days could do what he's doing right now and

586
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL. But I'm not surprised, you know,

587
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. You never know what what direction everybody's going,

588
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised because if you be around and

589
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: you're in those locker rooms and you know, you start

590
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: develop these relationships and you're having these conversations. Certain people

591
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: know the game, and the people that know the game

592
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: and they're actually likable people and people that you can

593
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: get along with. You know, those right there, those are

594
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: the things that separate certain people. Some people know the game,

595
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: but they can't get on people. Some two get old

596
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: people they don't know the game. But you're somebody that

597
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: has an it factor that everybody loves that nobody's really

598
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: has a problem with that, and Gud goes and does

599
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: his works Like Shadi wasn't a drafted players already came

600
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: and putting that work in and earned everything. So man,

Speaker 1: you know, the classic game in Orlando, and I love

614
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: to be There's the family atmosphere is good bye, it's

615
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: good energy. And if you ever get a chance to

616
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: come to an HDTU game and hang out, man as

617
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: the time of your life. Man, I'm telling you. So

618
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: that's where as that's where you're going to be coming

619
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: up this weekend. Now, are you going to try to

620
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: make a game back up here before the end of

621
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: the season two. I was assuming that we probably would

622
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: see some some of the former Jeff Saturday teammates up

623
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: here because of that debut on Sunday. Well, I can't

624
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: speak for anybody else, you know, but I'm I'm never

625
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: too far away. And if the Big Man says the plane,

626
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm on my way, you know, that's how I move.

627
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Does that? Now? What do you expect to get a

628
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: call from the big Man to send the plane down there?

629
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: I would assume. So nah, na na, It's like it

630
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: happens when it happens. I don't expect nothing, but I'm

631
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: always available for the right thing. I just think the

632
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: team overall played and then after the game, we saw

633
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the video of you and Jeff celebrate and enjoying that

634
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: that first win. What you think about how he looked

635
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline, his demeanor, and how the team performed,

636
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: because that was edg and that was a chaotic week.

637
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean it really was leading up to that game,

638
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: and it seemed like everything went about as well, including

639
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the win, as you could ask it was normal if

640
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: he did everything that every other coach does. The difference

641
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: is is just Saturday, and it's not a coach that

642
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: has been around for a long time. You know. He

643
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: did everything, and I was actually impressed with his pregame speech,

644
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: the way he rallied the troops. He got everybody together.

645
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: If you didn't know anything about football, or he didn't

646
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: know anything about experiencing anything, you're walk in the locker room,

647
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: you're left out of that motivated and the guys, they

648
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: was all in. So whatever he did, he did it

649
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: was supposed to do, and he did it just like

650
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: a coach would do. So Edger and James the Hall

651
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: of Famer with the Spey, Andy Moral, Automotive Crew, potline,

652
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: edge Moves, hashtag edge Moves. We're gonna get that thing

653
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: started on Twitter coming up in in just a bit.

654
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming you've seen the finished product here of

655
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: a Football Life a Premier's Friday on the NFL Network.

656
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: What's your favorite parts, I guess of your football life

657
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: that we're going to see coming up on Friday. I

658
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's one part that truly take it as

659
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: a favorite. I think it's the journey you know the journey.

660
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: You know, the journey is when I look back on it.

661
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: A lot of times, when you're in the midst of

662
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: living and you're looking at and you're just living life,

663
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: you don't really reflect too much. But then when they

664
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: start putting these football life or when you start going

665
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: through these series where it started document things, it's like, okay, yeah, hey,

666
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: it's pretty inspirational to see all the different things you

667
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: go through to get to where you're trying to get to.

668
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: And they did a great job, did you because you

669
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: seem like, to me, somebody that soaks up absolutely everything.

670
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you wish you could double back

671
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: and and relive it again because you didn't get to

672
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: feel it as much as you did when you were

673
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: living in the moment na not too many things, Like

674
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: every one thing kind of builds on the other, yea.

675
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: So it's all part of the journey, you know, it's

676
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: all part of the journey. So I can't say one

677
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: thing because where I was at this time in my life,

678
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, now I'm in a different space. So you

679
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: just enjoy every space that you're in. That's how I

680
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: try to look at I enjoy every space and now

681
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I celebrate more of the small victories now because I

682
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: was doing some I was doing some top nine things.

683
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, you break records or you're doing all and

684
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: for me it was like all we gotta go work tomorrow,

685
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: or are we just looking forward to the next day

686
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: or you're always looking at the next move. But now

687
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I kind of you know, I sit back with my kids.

688
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: I celebrate the touchdown, like enjoy the things that they're doing,

689
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: because I really I never got a chance to do

690
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: those things because I was on a mission. You know,

691
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: a man on a mission, you don't have time to

692
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: be sit back and sitting on these or or anything.

693
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: You get any of those accomplishments. She said, hey, what's next,

694
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: What's next? And that was always the mindset. How are

695
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: you as a sports dad? I'm a great sports dad.

696
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: It's like I don't I don't bother my kids during

697
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: the game. Hey, we do all our work through the week,

698
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: through your preparation. When it comes game time, you know,

699
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: I take my notes and when the game's over, they

700
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: get a text message with everything they did wrong most

701
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: of the time, and the day they did right, they

702
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: expect to do it right. Everything they did that can

703
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: make them better. And after that, whenever they come to me,

704
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: that's when we talk about it. And I just keep

705
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: moving on. But I enjoy the moments. It's a football life.

706
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: On Friday, Hall of Famer Edger and James kind enough

707
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: to join us on the Anymore Automotive Group Potline nine

708
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: o'clock on the NFL Network Friday night. Peton Manningus said

709
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: this a number of times, and it's in this as well.

710
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: You were the best teammate he had ever had. So

711
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: what makes a great teammate in your estimation, be there

712
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: for your teammates and no matter what, and you just

713
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: go out and do your job. You do your job,

714
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: and you compliment each other. You know when it's time

715
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: to pass, I know it's time to block. You know

716
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: a lot of time in this position, you know you

717
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: want to put the ball in your hands a lot.

718
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: But if you play for the coach, you know, and

719
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: you have a great quarterback and great receivers, you know,

720
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: you'll be silly to set up that think you're going

721
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: to carry the ball all the time. You got to

722
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: be willing to shoe up there and protect this person

723
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: and make sure these things happen. And for me, I

724
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: just always just did my job, and I got a

725
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: great appreciation for a person like Payton that really loved

726
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: the game. Learned a lot about the game from paying

727
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: because Payton really loves the game, you know, and that's

728
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: something that's not coming. You know, everybody don't love the

729
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: game like Payton loves the game. Yeah, well, who who'd

730
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: you learned the most from when you were here? From

731
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: a teammates standpoint Edrew, I think we learned from each other. No,

732
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: because everything compliments each other, like you know, the pass

733
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: and the run. It always everything fed off each other,

734
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: you know. So you have so much that you I mean,

735
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: so many different people you encounter, So it's a multiple.

736
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many people that you deal with.

737
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: You can't just say just one person. You know, if

738
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: there was a group after so Edrin James, the Hall

739
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: of Famer via the Andy Moore or the Moni group potline,

740
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: it's funny just Saturday in that post game um the

741
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: speech to the team after the win, talked about victory Monday?

742
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: Was there anything better than victory Monday? When you were

743
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: a player, man, he caught at the right time, and

744
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: when you look, you look forward to victory Monday. You know,

745
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: victory money makes the steason so much better. You know,

746
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: you come in with that extra motivation. It gives you

747
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: that extra sponse to go out and win. So there's

748
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: nothing like victory Monday. You know, That's that's I think

749
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: if you ask any football player, I think that's the

750
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: best day of the year of victory Monday. You guys

751
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: had great coaches, whether it was you know, Tone Dungee

752
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: or Tom Moore, you know, just really anybody supports staff

753
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: or whatever. When you were here, did you notice that

754
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday may have taken away some of your coaches

755
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: when you're playing alongside him and put into good use

756
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: in his coaching debut this past weekend. Any any tidy

757
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: quotes or anything like that that stood out to you,

758
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: absolutely so. As he said who goes the hardest the longest?

759
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: More popped up in my head. That's what Tom Moore's words,

760
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: and man said, I didn't know what Hey, all you

761
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta do is do what the Grays do and you

762
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: will be okay. And that's what sad. He didn't try

763
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: to reinvent the wheel and shrink that playbook. Let's play fast,

764
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: let's play tough, Let's get out here and do what

765
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: we do. And that's coach football. Man. It seems like

766
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: too it could be easy to lose somebody if your

767
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: phony and you're up there for a while, you know,

768
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: preaching and doing your thing. It just seemed like you're right.

769
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he kept it simple. I thought the Colts

770
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: kept it simple on Sunday, as simple as possible as

771
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: they could with a new play caller with a new

772
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: head coach. And I thought it worked out great in

773
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Vegas that way, of course, man less is more man like.

774
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: Why you go get this dominant football player and you

775
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: make him have to do all the thinking, all this thinking.

776
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, football is about reacting. You know, play fast, react,

777
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: do what you've been doing since you was a kid.

778
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: Let's not over analyze this thing. Let's just play some hardball.

779
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: The man in front of me, long as I beat him,

780
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: were winning, you know. And that's how that's the mentality.

781
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: But when you go through and you have to do

782
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: all these exces and those and complicated, and I have

783
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: to do all this thinking, I'm gonna move a little

784
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: bit slower. But when you take all the thinking out

785
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: of it and and you just simplify, that's what football is

786
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: That's that's what it's about. That's why you work so hard.

787
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: It becomes stronger, faster and become you know, more in

788
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,720

853
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: know for you know, for our organization and something for

854
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: us to build on, you know, moving forward. Right loaded

855
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: question here, I know, what has it been like to

856
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: be you the last eleven days or so? Because I

857
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: know you've been your listen. I know you're close with

858
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: head coach Frank Reich. Yeah, you know, Jeff Saturday comes

859
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: in and you respect the heck out of him. Changes

860
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: all around you. How have you as a leader on

861
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: this team? How have you processed all of this? Um? Honestly,

862
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: just taking a day by day. Um, that's really just

863
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: how I do. Just putting out you know, whatever fire

864
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: that I can as they come along. Understand that, you know,

865
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect. But at the end of the day,

866
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: making sure that I still take care of myself, because

867
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, the best version of me is gonna be

868
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: the best version of everybody else. So just definitely, I

869
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: guess the way I was doing it, just making sure

870
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: that I had a little bit of me time, just

871
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: kind of reflect, you know, recover, recuper right, um, just

872
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: so when I came into building and when I needed

873
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: to be, you know, with the guys, I could be

874
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: the person that didn't need me to be. How difficult

875
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: is it to to carve out Zaire's time, right, because

876
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: you're you're balancing, you're still a dad and a husband, right,

877
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's tough. Yeah, you gotta steal it.

878
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: You gotta steal it. H My fiance, she always yells

879
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: at me every time I'm sitting in the car, and

880
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: I'll be like, look, I'm coming in, I'm coming in.

881
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: But uh no, it's always it's always good obviously seeing

882
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: your son that it's just like it's like charging out

883
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: my battery, you know. Every time I get to go

884
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: home and hold them and just spend playtime with him

885
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff that just makes me feel better,

886
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: makes all the world's problems just kind of see so

887
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: definitely gotta you know, get your little one on one time.

888
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: No job about that. That's well said, right there, Zaire

889
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: Franklin with US Colts linebacker. Now on the other side

890
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: of the coin, How have you seen the locker room

891
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: respond to Jeff Saturday? Um, honestly, it's just been a

892
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: breath of fresh air, you know, just having that you know,

893
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: that brand new perspective somebody from who loves the organization,

894
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: cares a lot about the team. Um, but you know,

895
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: they're just kind of coming in and giving their opinion

896
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: on things and kind of you know, leading us in

897
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: a different type of direction. Uh, it's been great. You know,

898
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: I think the guys have really been responding to Jeff. Um.

899
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: You know, he's a great leader, um obvious. So he's

900
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: been a leader of a leader of men for a

901
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: long time, and I think it just kind of shows

902
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: and how he's able to just get everybody to riley

903
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: behind him. How much does his former playing experience, how

904
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: much does that matter? He's in the ring of honor.

905
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the greatest cults of all time.

906
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: How much does that matter in terms of your respect

907
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: and your approach for him, well, I think you know,

908
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: anytime you have like a player coach, I feel like

909
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: it always helps a lot because you know, first of all,

910
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: they've been in your shoes, and for you know, a

911
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: guy like Jeff to have done it in our shoes

912
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: and this building and at a high level for such

913
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: a long period of time, it just kind of makes

914
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: the things that he said, the little nuggets that he

915
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: give hit a little bit of different. I'm just because

916
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: he understands what it feels like to be us, and

917
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: I definitely just think it plays into his advantage. So

918
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: is it safe to say that things have settled down

919
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: a little bit after the last couple of weeks with changes?

920
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, do things feel a little bit normal? I

921
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: guess if that's the right word to use. Well, you know, obviously,

922
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, Jeff has his own way of doing things.

923
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to get into a rhythm and

924
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: a routine with him. You know, this is our second

925
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: weekend with him. Still a couple of little tweaks and

926
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: different things here and there, But obviously, just after that

927
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: roller coast of the last few weeks, is good to

928
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: kind of just settle in and let us get our

929
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: feet planning and let's start building up. How has he

930
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: changed up practice or has he? Yeah? I mean I

931
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: think for him, it's just you know, getting offensive, you know,

932
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: reps um, you know, for us, And it's just I

933
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: think at the end of it too, just for him

934
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: holding everybody accountable, like straight up, like look, defense, you guys,

935
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: you know, you guys, give up some exposed to plays here.

936
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: He can't do that. Special teams, Look, let's lock in,

937
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: let's take care of this. And offense, you know, obviously

938
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: he's over there, you know, getting up that those guys

939
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: the whole practice. So I think just the way he

940
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: kind of approaches it, how he just kind of straight

941
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: up and no accountability for everybody, you know, throughout, I

942
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: think that just makes the biggest difference. That's weird to say, gosh,

943
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: dar twenty eighteen, five years ago, but that's where we are.

944
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: But the point is, you're having one heck of a season.

945
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: You're on the cusp of one hundred tackles. You already

946
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: have a career high in that department. You are second

947
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL and total tackles. What are some things

948
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: that have allowed you to kind of break out and

949
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: have this you know career campaign that you're on. Honestly,

950
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: I would just say, you know, the relationship I was

951
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: able to start to build with the coaches Um, coach

952
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: Smith and coach Bradley, I'm specifically just you know, them

953
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: trusting me with the game plan, trusting me to kind

954
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: of lead the defense, and you know, just kind of

955
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: be that voice out there to kind of help them,

956
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: help help me settle in. And honestly, just my teammates.

957
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, when you've got big Grove, you got Buck

958
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: playing the where they are. Obviously Bobby's coming on, and

959
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: then you know Kenny and Gilly and those guys in

960
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: the back ends. Yeah, obviously just you know, I'm just

961
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: one part of the defense. But you know, thankful I've

962
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: just been able to accel that doing my job and

963
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: making plays. That's sayre Franklin with us now this defense

964
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 1: fourth right now in total defense. And I think the

965
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: points allowed number, it's good, but I think it's deceptive.

966
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: I think it's even better right because of you know,

967
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: points allowed off of turnovers. You guys have been on

968
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: some short fields, the offense has some you know, direct touchdowns.

969
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: They've allowed on pick sixes and things like that. We

970
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: don't need to get into it. But you guys are

971
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: having a fantastic season to this point, and really specifically

972
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: these last four games are giving up only about twenty

973
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: points per game in the stress and you know, holding

974
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: down good offenses like New England and the Raiders. Why

975
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: is this defense sort of coming together and peaking midway

976
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: point of the season Week nine, ten eleven. Here, Like

977
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: I think, like I said before, I think it's just

978
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: guys getting comfortable with each other, Guys getting comfortable in

979
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: the roads that they're in and just excelling, you know,

980
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: doing their job. Everybody's doing their one eleventh, trusting the plan,

981
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: trusting our coaches, trusting your teammates to be where they're

982
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Be fast, and let's make these plays.
