That's coming 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: out the Thursday before the Cardinals game. So we're gonna 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: focus on more kind of big picture stuff, less about 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: the the upcoming game, if you will, so, Jimbob, Just 55 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has been here for seven months now, right, 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: what's something that you learned about him? Maybe like the 57 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: first or second time you met him, you saw how 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: he worked in the building that led you to believe 59 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: he could have this level of success, like right. 60 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, early, early on when we got him here 61 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: and met him and sort of got going with the 62 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 3: sort of information, he was really really inquisitive, asking questions, 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: trying to get down to the route details of each play, 64 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 3: or each concept or each protection or any of those 65 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 3: type of things. He was really wanting to make sure 66 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: that he was very thorough in understanding maybe how we 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: wanted to do things, or what options he might have 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: within a play, just all the details that come with quarterbacking. 69 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: He was very inquisitive, really looking to dive into that. 70 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: Stuff, and that's that's proven really beneficial to I think 71 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: sometimes quarterbacks have like a bit of an adjustment period, 72 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: whether it's one game, a couple of games, can even 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: be a couple of months sometimes when they're in a 74 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: new offense. But Daniel hit the ground running me literally 75 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: week one against Miami. Was that process of you know, 76 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: him being inquisitive, Like you said, how did like that 77 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: set him up to not have as big of a 78 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: learning curve? 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah? 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: I think his you know, his ability to prepare, his preparation, 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: the importance he puts on preparation is something that really 82 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: pays off for him with how he's played early this year. 83 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: You know, we go through an offseason, we go through 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: a training camp. Obviously at the quarterback position, you're learning 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: a lot of terminology. You're learning your new teammates, you're 86 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: learning maybe maybe maybe we as a coaching staff want 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: a route a certain way that's a little bit different 88 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 3: than a previous way he would have run a route 89 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 3: or thrown a ball to a guy running a route. 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: So you have to adjust to some of that stuff. 91 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: You have to kind of get used to the cultural 92 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: norms of the offense, if you will. But once you 93 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 3: get all that going, you're just going out and playing football. 94 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: And he's done a great job of preparing each week, 95 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: preparing throughout training camp, you know, to go execute that 96 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: next big assignment. Could have been a preseason game, could 97 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: have been a big scrimmage at the end of the week, 98 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: and then could have been you know, week one, week two, whatever. 99 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: So he's he's taken on each challenge and you know, 100 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: really diving into the details. And then as he you know, 101 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: has become more comfortable within the offense, he's making it 102 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: his own. He's having you know, adjustment ideas and notes 103 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: for us as a coaching staff, things we might can 104 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: do to put a guy in a better position to 105 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 3: have success or to make his life a little bit easier. 106 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: You know, all all those. 107 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: Things are great conversations between quarterbacks and coaches, and he's 108 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: done a great job of sort of having those with 109 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: us so we can all go out and perform our best. 110 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: So and it looked up Daniel's numbers when he's under pressure, 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: He's second in the end this going into Week five, 112 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: second in the NFL in completion percentage under pressure and 113 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: second in the NFL in yards per attempt under pressure. Like, baseline, 114 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: how does a. 115 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: Quarterback prepare for that? 116 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Because obviously got the red jersey on all week the 117 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: only time a quarterback is getting hit is on Sunday, 118 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: or even as the threat of getting hit is on Sunday, Like, 119 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: how does Daniel prepare Monday through Saturday to be able 120 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: to handle that pressure as well as he has? 121 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: Well? 122 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: I think it's it's there's several ways that that can 123 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: get done in an effective manner at the quarterback position, 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 3: Preparing for different opponent blitz packages, different opponent pressure problems. 125 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: Different different opponents cause different problems in different ways. It 126 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: might be schematically, it might be personnel, any of those 127 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: type of things. It might be some play we have 128 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: where he knows the ball's coming out quick, and then 129 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: we have another play where we might be holding the 130 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 3: ball and he knows how to sort of sort of 131 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: operate those two plays a little bit differently to give 132 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: himself best chance of success. But ultimately handling pressure as 133 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: a team offensive stat you know, the offensive line really 134 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: having that pocket be as clean as we can make 135 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: it and fighting through, you know, protecting these great rushers 136 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: in this league, or or some sort of really nuanced 137 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: blitz package that some of these defenses have. Our coaching 138 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: staff putting together a great plan. Coach Tony Sperando is 139 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: such a good job working with those guys and putting 140 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: together a great plan of attack, and then the running 141 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: backs being there to pick up blitzes and sometimes they're 142 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 3: chipping helping those defensive ends. Our whole offense works to 143 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: hopefully have success in those pressure moments, whether you're bringing 144 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: a big old blitz or it's just a great pass 145 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: rush unit. That's that's the name of the game in 146 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: this league. A lot of times in the past game 147 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: and UH for us to prepare as an entire offense, UH, 148 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: we do everything we can to give that quarterback a 149 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: chance of success, and then Daniel takes it a step further, 150 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 3: given himself the best chance to have success, success within 151 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: one of our concepts or just attacking a certain defensive look. 152 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: I really like the way that you put that that 153 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of that team stat and that even 154 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: goes to coaches like you mentioned, you know, coach Sperano 155 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: being the guy who kind of takes the lead on 156 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: the protection plan. I'm curious with this co offensive coaching 157 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: staff largely being intact for three years now. You know, 158 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: obviously Ox Tandy comes in last year. What has that 159 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: allowed you guys to do collectively in terms of building 160 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: on the relationships and maybe the foundation you have there 161 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: to come up with some different ways to attack opposing defenses. 162 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think continuity has real value for us. You know, 163 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: the first year you're working with guys, maybe you know them, 164 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: maybe you don't. You're working on a new staff, You're 165 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: kind of getting used to each other, You're kind of 166 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: throwing different ideas against the wall. You're sort of seeing 167 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: how everybody reacts to things. A year two, you've got 168 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 3: a little bit more comfort going. I think at this point, 169 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: you know, We've tossed enough ideas back and forth at 170 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: each other. We've gone into enough games where we're solving 171 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: problems to try to give our guys the best chance 172 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: to have success. We've solved those problems or worked hard 173 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: to try to solve those problems enough times together that 174 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: there becomes a shorthand when we have to solve the 175 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: next problem. Okay, this is kind of like such and 176 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: such or Hey, I've got this idea. You know it's 177 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: a little off the wall. What do you guys think? 178 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: We've kind of done that enough times that you know, 179 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: we we we we look for ways to run creative 180 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 3: plays and creative ways, and uh, our guys do a 181 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: good job of sort of coming up with some good ideas. 182 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: And I think Shane Shane does such a great job 183 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: of being open minded to a creative idea that a 184 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: guy might have on the coaching staff that that puts 185 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 3: a certain player in a position to have success. And 186 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: you know, we've tried some of those over the years. 187 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 3: Now they don't all work. 188 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: So I think the Tampa one with Zaire on the 189 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: field and most topping that on fourth down. 190 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, you try to you try to 191 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: sometimes do the unexpected. Right, We're gonna go try to 192 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 3: you know, execute whatever We're gonna run the best we 193 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: can execute it. And sometimes that's a core play that 194 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: we know really really well. The defense might know it's 195 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: something we like to run, but we're gonna try to 196 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 3: out execute them. Sometimes there's gonna be those creative ones 197 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: that are sometimes fun. We try to give them goofy names, 198 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 3: and uh, the guys, the guys remember the goofy name sometimes. 199 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: And like I said, we. 200 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: Got some really creative uh game planners and creative thinkers 201 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: on our offensive staff. Are really lucky to have a 202 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: good group there. And the more we work together, uh, 203 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: you know, the more those things get get get brought 204 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: up and you know, hopefully have success. 205 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: Okay, not necessarily with the cults, because I don't want 206 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: to give it to give anything away, But what's the 207 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: weirdest name for a play you've had in your career? 208 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: That's a great that's a great question. Well, we name 209 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: them after all sorts of stuff. I think we had 210 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: one year we played in London. I was with another 211 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: team and we had I think a lot of different 212 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 3: London monuments. We had the Big Ben, we had the 213 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: I don't remember all of them, but we had I 214 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: think we were just going down the Wikipedia of London 215 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: top tourist spots and we were naming them all. 216 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: So we had we had several of those. 217 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: We'll us football coaches, Uh, sometimes we do a good 218 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: job naming plays, and sometimes we're a little bit wacky. 219 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 3: So uh, we've we've been guilty of that a little 220 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: bit around here, but it seems to be fun and 221 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 3: the guys seem to remember them. 222 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: You're not like punching it into Chad GPT and mailing 223 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: it in, You're like actually thinking about it. 224 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're thinking about it. We're trying to you know. 225 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's uh, you're playing us at a certain place, 226 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: a certain opponent in a certain city, and there's something 227 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 3: you can call about that city, or you know, you're 228 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: playing around a certain holiday or whatever. 229 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of different reasons to remember 230 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: things and. 231 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: And ultimately, uh, you know, we play, we sort of 232 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 3: game plan each week, and sometimes we put something up 233 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: that our guys have to remember within that week and 234 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: it might be a short, short term only memory thing, 235 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: so we just need them to remember such and such 236 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: as the play. 237 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: So sometimes the goofy or the name of the better. 238 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to the coaching continuity because 239 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about those creative ideas, right, You've got you know, 240 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: you Shane, Tom Manning, Tony Spierrano Junior. How has that 241 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: continuity helped you come up with these creative ways to 242 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: use Tyler Warren this season? 243 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 244 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: We uh, you know, when we were you know, doing 245 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: our scouting work as a coaching staff looking at all 246 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,359 Speaker 3: the guys in the draft and sort of evaluating everybody. 247 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, we were really. 248 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: Excited about Tyler for a lot of reasons. But you know, 249 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: we had a lot of discussions about Okay, now, you know, 250 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: I think if we get Tyler Warren, we might could 251 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: do this, and maybe he can do this, and I 252 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 3: think he can do that, and let's try him on this. 253 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: You know, those guys are those guys are really creative 254 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: with with you know, ways to attack a defense. Could 255 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: be a play action pass, it might just be a 256 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: run play where you know, to pretty versatile as a blocker, 257 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: and there's things he can do. So, you know, we 258 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: we kind of have no shortage of ideas and you know, 259 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: Tyler's a very versatile young tight end who can do 260 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: a lot of things. Well, it's exciting to draw plays 261 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: up for him, you know, sort of put him in 262 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: position to have success. And sometimes you try something, you go, gosh, 263 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: I hope he can do this. Well you go practice it, 264 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: and you know, I look pretty good. 265 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: Let's do it. You know, that's a good play. 266 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: So we're we're sort of trying to be open minded 267 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: and creative with all our guys. 268 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: But he's been. He's been fun to work with this year. 269 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: That way. 270 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: I think even in my decade or so covering the NFL, 271 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: sometimes when I hear a player is versatile, that almost 272 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: is like a oh, it's almost like a lead balloon 273 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: for some coaching staffs who aren't able to tap into 274 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: what like makes the player great. In addition to that versatility, 275 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: what about Tyler has allowed you guys to say, yes, 276 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: he can be versatile and he can go succeed whether 277 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: he's playing in line tight end, he's split out wide, 278 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: he's in the slot, he's in the backfield at fullback, 279 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: he's taken a direct snap. Well, you know, however you 280 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: might use him. 281 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, first thing is, you know, I want to give 282 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: him a lot of credit just for a young man. 283 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: For a young tight end in this league, sometimes it 284 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: can be mentally a lot that could be a lot 285 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: of learning going on the tight end position. I don't 286 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 3: think fans at home realize how complex that position is. 287 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: You're the steepest learning curve in the NFL. 288 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 3: You got to run block like an offensive lineman. You 289 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 3: got to run routes like a receiver. You got to 290 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: understand the protection game like an offensive line. You know, 291 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 3: you got to be able to make all the calls 292 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: and understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. 293 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: Tyler's done such a great job of coming in not 294 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: only learning, you know, sort of our system, but learning 295 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 3: all the different nuances that come within. 296 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: All. 297 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: Right, if the defensive end lines up, head up, you 298 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: gotta do this. If he's outside, you gotta do this well. 299 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: If the linebacker blitzes, you got to do that. You know, 300 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: all these things happen at the tight end position. And 301 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 3: he's really done a good job of being able to 302 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 3: manage all that information and go out and play good football. 303 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 3: So that that gives us confidence to try him in 304 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 3: some different spots, to put him in some different areas. 305 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: So him being able to sort of manage all that information, 306 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: and we're really lucky to have a whole tight end 307 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: room full of those type of really intelligent guys that 308 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: can manage all that and work together sort of managing 309 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: all that as a group. That it puts his imposition 310 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: to let him try certain things. And so, you know, 311 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: maybe he's been in the backfield a little bit as 312 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 3: a full back as a run blocker, and now we 313 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: try the past play we hit against Denver, you know, 314 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: and he's got the physical ability to slip that linebacker, 315 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: which not all sort of big guys have. 316 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: That's not easy to do for a big guy. 317 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 3: So we'll try to highlight his strengths as a player, 318 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: but it's his mentality and the way he prepares and 319 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: the way he goes about sort of learning what we're 320 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: doing and learning what his opponent's going to do that 321 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: gives us the opportunity to do that. A lot of 322 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: credit to him for that. 323 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: This is an offense that has a lot of versatle weapons. 324 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: You know, whether it's what Pitt does, Alic does, josh 325 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: Ad JT, you know, whoever it might be. How has 326 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Tyler helped maybe unlock those guys' skill sets and like 327 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: the versatile things they can do within this offense to 328 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: an even higher level this year. 329 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: I think it's you know, the past game is a 330 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: little bit about matchups. You know, how does the defense 331 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: match up with the offense, especially in those really really 332 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: key downs and distances, or the red zone or the 333 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: third downs, those type of things. And when you add 334 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: a sort of matchup problem against the defense, now that 335 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: changes all the other matchups or that lessons maybe some 336 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: of the double teams on another receiver, some of the 337 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: you know, sometimes these deep safeties will lean one way 338 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: or the other, they'll cheat to one side or the other, 339 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: and now they can't quite do that as much, or 340 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: they have to really sort of focus on him a 341 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: little bit more. So we hope that, you know, each 342 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: eligible receiver that we run out there on a route 343 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: is a real threat to the defense, and they are 344 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: worried about those guys, and our guys obviously have different 345 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: strengths and weaknesses and would try to, you know, sort 346 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 3: of play to their strengths. But to have you know, 347 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 3: just one extra guy doing such a great job getting 348 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: open and sort of making those tough catches when his 349 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: numbers called, he's been really good. I think for everybody, 350 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: the ball gets spread around. I know it's good for 351 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: a quarterback to have, you know, as many additional targets 352 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: as we can put out there that are gonna go 353 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: get open on their route and be where they're supposed 354 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 3: to be. 355 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: The better when you're designing plays and you know you're 356 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: meeting during the week about the run game, how comforting 357 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: is it to have a running back like Jonathan Taylor 358 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: You can say, Okay, this is blocked up to do this, 359 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: and then he can go do that like he did, 360 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: you know against Tennessee on that iceop point. 361 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the name of the game in the run game. 362 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: You know, we our guys do such a great job 363 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: of game planning. They work really really hard to put 364 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: our guys up front in a great position to sort 365 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: of block with certain leverage or have a certain advantage 366 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: on their block up front. 367 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: And all that's done. 368 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: To give our running back a chance to sort of 369 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: get through the initial part of the line of scrimmage, 370 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: right that sort of first level defensive line, that second 371 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: level with the linebackers, and then we're counting on the 372 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: receivers to get those blocks downfield. But you can't block 373 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 3: all eleven. Right, we're doing everything we can to get 374 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: our running back as far as we can downfield. But 375 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: in this league sometimes that's not that's four or five 376 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: six yards and then it's on the running back and 377 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 3: that's where JT's fun. Right, That's where that's where those 378 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 3: big runs happen. And we go, well, we didn't draw 379 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: up that spin move, we didn't draw u him missing 380 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: those three. You know, he's he's he's so dynamic, he's 381 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: so explosive. Yeah, that's absolutely exciting as a coaching staff 382 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: drawing up run plays or you know, I'm sure for 383 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 3: Shane calling a run and going, let's see what happens here. 384 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 3: You know, we like the run scheme, we like our 385 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: guys up front blocking it and then shoot, if we 386 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 3: get a little crease here, let's see what ja T can. 387 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: Do on this play. That's that's really fun for us. 388 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: What is something that you've learned about Shane in now 389 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: three years working as his offensive coordinator that I don't know, 390 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: maybe would surprising people. 391 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, A couple of things come to mind. One, you know, 392 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 3: fans at home don't always see the behind the scenes 393 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: right around here, and you know I would just I've 394 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 3: been really, it's been really fun to watch Shane coach 395 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: the guys and and and I've been really impressed or 396 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: just impressed the wrong word. I've been really it's been 397 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 3: really intriguing to watch how much he cares about our guys, 398 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: how how into each and every guy on our roster. 399 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: He is, you know, as a whether. 400 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: They're a young player who's really developing their career, they're 401 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: an older vet who's got a lot of pelts on 402 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 3: the wall in this league. Shane does such a great 403 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 3: job connecting with all those guys, and he really cares 404 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 3: about their success. He's really, uh, you know, really deeply 405 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: intricately involved in caring about their success. And then schematically, 406 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: I would say just how aggressive he is, you know, 407 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 3: Shane Shane. Shane Shane is aggressive. He calls plays aggressively. 408 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 3: He's relentless, uh calling those plays and and sort of 409 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: putting plays on the call sheet and game planning them up. 410 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: He's gonna be aggressive to try to go score a 411 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: bunch of points. And that's been fun fun to work with. 412 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned him being aggressive, because I think 413 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: sometimes this gets this next thing I'm gonna say gets 414 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: lost in or like aggressiveness gets lost in this someone. 415 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: I had Daniel Jones back here before the season. I 416 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 1: was asking him about Shane and how Shane almost sometimes 417 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: just he keeps it simple, like, Hey, this is going 418 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: to work, let's go do it. They do this, we 419 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: do that. And what Daniel said is there's a lot 420 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: of genius in that simplicity. I think sometimes when you 421 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: hear simplicity, you think it's DNK and dunk. You know, 422 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: we'll take what's there, but it is aggressive. How does 423 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: Shane balance being you know, the simplest solution is going 424 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: to work, but we can still be aggressive, Like, how 425 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: have you seen him balance those two things? 426 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 427 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 3: You always want to, uh, you know, as we go 428 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 3: to game planning an opponent, you want to put our 429 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: guys in a great position to have success, and you 430 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: want to have some really core concepts you you can 431 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 3: sort of lay your head on and just feel great 432 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: about and go execute. But you don't want the defense 433 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 3: to always know they're coming, so you have to do 434 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: a lot of sort of unique formational things. You have 435 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: to put guys in different spots. You know, we all 436 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 3: grew up in high school running just old school four 437 00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: verticals like past game. 438 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 2: That's a good pass. We'll shoot. 439 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 3: We still all run it in the NFL. It's a 440 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 3: good pass. There's nothing wrong with it. But we might 441 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: have to format it a little bit. We might have 442 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: to do a unique shift in motion. And maybe last 443 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: week Josh Downs was here, but we got to put 444 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: Josh Downs over here this week. But the quarterback might 445 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: read it just the same and he might go attack 446 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: the defense just the same. And maybe there's some weeks 447 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: where we love that concept so much or whatever concept 448 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 3: so much that we put it up three or four 449 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: different times on the call sheet. But we have different 450 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 3: ways to do it. So it might be simple for 451 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 3: our guys. They're learning the same play four different times 452 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: within a week, but they're in different spots. It presents 453 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 3: differently to the defense. And then within that simplicity, we 454 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 3: try to have the creative plays we talked about earlier 455 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: that they do keep the defense off card, Like, shoot, hey, 456 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: we know they kind of like this concept and that concept, 457 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: and this guy's gonna run some of these routes, and 458 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 3: that guy's gonna run some of those routes, but you 459 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: want to hit them with something they don't know it's coming. Also, 460 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 3: and it's a mix of those two sort of thought 461 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: processes that Shane so good at. 462 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: I want to get you out here on this is 463 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: year sixteen for you in the NFL. 464 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 2: Is that right? Sounds right? I'll go with it. 465 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: If you've ever had someone come to you, you know, 466 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: whether they're you know it's still in college or even 467 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: in high school and say, hey, like you've been doing 468 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: it for a while in the NFL, how can I 469 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: break in? What do I need to do or what 470 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: does it take to be a coach in the NFL? 471 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: You know, you're someone who's been an offensive assistant to 472 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, been a quarterbacks coach, an offensive coordinator or 473 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: running backs coach. What do you tell those people when 474 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: they you know, if you've ever been asked that question 475 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: of what does it take? 476 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, you know, if you if you'll if 477 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 3: you love coaching and you really want to get involved 478 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: with coaching, the first thing I would say is, you know, 479 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 3: coach whatever level you can coach in the moment, you know, 480 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: don't wait till next year. Hey it's midway through.

I love coaching. 483 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: I want to go get out there and coach a 484 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: little bit. You know, don't be afraid to get started, 485 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: and don't be afraid to get started tomorrow, because you know, 486 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 3: anybody can use a good coach that's really into getting 487 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: their players better. And when it comes to sort of 488 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: you know, rising through the ranks or getting into different levels, 489 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: I would say, you know, attack each opportunity that you 490 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 3: have to get to know different people to create those 491 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: types of relationships. There's so many different things going on 492 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: at different levels of football these days. College football has 493 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: a much bigger staff than they used to have. I 494 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 3: broke in as a graduate assistant, and I was the 495 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: only graduate assistant right there was me and another guy. Well, 496 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: now there's a bunch of people working on a college staff, 497 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of different sort of jobs that 498 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: can be done. 499 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: And once you you. 500 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: Know, sort of get your opportunity, which if you work 501 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: hard enough, you can get an opportunity somewhere. When you 502 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 3: knock that out of the park, the next opportunity shows 503 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 3: up and you just kind of keep going. It's it's 504 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: been a really fun lifestyle to coach football. I think 505 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 3: it is at any level. So I would say, just shoot, 506 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: get started tomorrow. Wherever you can go help, go help, 507 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 3: and you know, go with opportunities when they show up. 508 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: What about handling like a setback or something, because and 509 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: this is more a micro run, but I think you've 510 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: told the story of the time that Peyton asked you 511 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 1: to find like a certain some team you guys are playing, 512 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: go find a certain blitz package or something, and you 513 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: were like, I couldn't find it. Tell me if I'm 514 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: telling the story right, I couldn't find it. And he 515 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: comes in and he says, no, here I found it. 516 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, there's an all. I learned a good Peyton 517 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 3: Vanning lesson. I don't know when I learned it, but 518 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: it took me a little while because I had some 519 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: of these types of stories, but with Peyton and guys 520 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: that prepare to the level that Peyton did. I was 521 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: a young coach and I thought I knew how to 522 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: go look for a certain blitz and gosh, I'm gonna 523 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: go find this thing. Hey, have there been any I 524 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: don't remember what it was, maybe corner blitzes. Have they 525 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 3: blitzed the corner at all? And I went and did 526 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: whatever I did as a young coach, and I came back, 527 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 3: I said, nope, they have not blitzed. The corner doesn't exist, 528 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: and he goes, all right, go to Miami play thirty 529 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 3: eight from last year and there's a corner blitz. 530 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: You know. 531 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 3: So you kind of learned to say, try to be 532 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 3: careful saying always and never and you know it has 533 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 3: never happened. But you know, we're all learning. We're all, 534 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully lifelong learners in this profession. And shoot, 535 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: that's the benefit of having a quarterback to preparers like 536 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: Peyton Manning. Those guys hold you to a certain standard. 537 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 3: And I learned a ton, you know, going through that process, 538 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 3: and shoot, I got a lot better for it because 539 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: I learned how to check that tape a little bit closer, 540 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: and the next time around, I was more accurate when 541 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 3: I said those types of things. So you get better 542 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 3: from those setbacks, You learn from those things, and they're 543 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: ultimately really good for you. 544 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: I will say always here, always a pleasure in talking 545 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: to you, Jim Bob, Thanks for joining me here on 546 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: the podcast. Yes, Sane, appreciate you having it all right 547 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: back here on the Colt Show. It's time for the 548 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: Colt Show. Mailbag presented by Microsoft Surface co Pilot plus 549 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: pc achieving greatness with real time AI insights from the 550 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: field to the front office. Microsoft Surface co Pilot plus 551 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: PCs are transforming how the Indianapolis Colts win. All right, 552 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: Today's question comes from Adam Weddell from Indianapolis, and he asks, 553 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing too many holding calls on massive plays. How 554 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: do the Colts fix this in practice? So Adam's right. 555 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: The Colts lead the NFL through five weeks with fifteen 556 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: holding penalties, so right, right there, I mean, this is 557 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: a problem. The Colts have been penalized on holding calls 558 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: more than you would reasonably expect. 559 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: Here. 560 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: The interesting thing though, is holding calls are up across 561 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: the NFL this year. So this year through week five, 562 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety seven offensive holding penalties have been called. 563 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: Not all of those have been have been accepted, but 564 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: that's how many times that a holding flag has been thrown. 565 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: That's the highest total the NFL is seen through week 566 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: five since twenty nineteen. Last year there were two hundred 567 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: and thirty eight. The year prior to thirty three, two 568 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: oh seven, two forty one, one sixty five, and then 569 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, three hundred forty nine, so that's the 570 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: last time I was this high through five weeks. Notably, 571 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: I thought about this as like, well, how many teams 572 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: are on by? Four teams are on by in week five, 573 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: so not like you know, an abnormally low total of 574 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: teams on a buy A couple of things here, the 575 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: holding offensive holding penalties in terms of Pro Football Focus 576 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: as database, they do count on kick returns, and with 577 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: the way the NFL is designed kind of the new 578 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: kick returns, so there are more returns. I would anticipate 579 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: that would be some of the reason why holding calls 580 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: are up. The Colts have two holding penalties on returns. 581 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: They are the one that called back. Ashton Dulan's touchdown 582 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: against the Raiders was one of those two. But outside 583 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: of that, the Colts have been penalized for holding quite 584 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: a bit this year. And like to the question of 585 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: how do you fix it, like all of that was 586 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: to say, this isn't a referee problem. The refs are 587 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: emphasizing this, and it's not like I can't believe they're 588 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: emphasizing holding there. This is just what happens in the 589 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: NFL some years, holding is emphasized some years, a different 590 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: penalty is emphasized and it's not the reps doing their 591 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: job poorly. It's teams are going to have to adapt 592 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: to it. So for the Colts, yes, they've been penalized 593 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: quite a bit for holding. How do you fix it? 594 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: I think it goes into technique, It goes into just 595 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: kind of the you know, the details of these things 596 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: is something Chainstike has talked about. But I think it 597 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: also just goes into knowing that reps are looking for this. 598 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Colts can kind of get 599 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: that cleaned up. Because I talked about it previously with 600 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: the Colts in the red zone where they had a 601 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: number of drives torpedoed by holding penalties in the red zone. 602 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: Against the Raiders, at least they had one holding penalty 603 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: when they got down into the red zone. They were 604 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: able to overcome that with that awesome play that Josh 605 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: Downs made where he kind of spun away from a 606 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: defender then hit an actual spin move to pick up 607 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: the first down on third and twelve. Culture of the 608 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: punch it in after that. So yeah, Adam, really good question. 609 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: I Also I was thinking about this too because I 610 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: was watching the Chiefs Jags game on Monday, and I 611 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: was like, man, there are a lot of holding penalties 612 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: being called in this game, so it's already kind of 613 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: in my head. Adam then might maybe found a way 614 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: to get into my brain a little bit with that question. 615 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: But really good one there. Again, more holding penalties are 616 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: being called league wide this year. The Colts are just 617 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: going to have to adapt to that being the reality. 618 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 2: Again. 619 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: You can submit your questions to the Colts Show Mailbag 620 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: at Colts dot com slash mail bag right here in 621 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: the YouTube comments of this episode, or through social media. 622 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: I'll get to some other questions on Colts dot Com 623 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday. Here for the mailbag. All right, let's talk 624 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: about Week six. Did you see how the Arizona Cardinals 625 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: lost in Week five? I'm sure you have by now. 626 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: An absolutely chaotic loss for the Cardinals. Amar Demurcado. They're 627 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: running back who's in there? Because James Connor and Trade Benson, 628 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: their top two running backs, are hurt. He does the 629 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: thing where he drops the ball before the goal line. Unfortunately, 630 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: we have some experience with that here in Indianapolis. That 631 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: would have put the Cardinals up I believe twenty seven 632 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: to six late or is sometime in the second half. Instead, 633 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: they do not. The Titans are able to get back 634 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: into the game on probably the weirdest touchdown I've ever seen, 635 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: where cam Ward throws an interception, there's a fumble, the 636 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: ball gets, you know, squirted into the end zone, Tyler 637 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Lockett falls on it. Just a weird game, but Arizona 638 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: this year has played some weird games, and every single 639 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: Cardinals game this year has been decided by one score. 640 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: They are two wins, which came in the first two 641 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They beat New Orleans by seven, 642 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: in Carolina by five. They then lost to the forty 643 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: nine ers by one, the Seahawks by three, and the 644 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: Titans by one. So Shane Steiken said it earlier this week, 645 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, a couple bounces go the Cardinals way and 646 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: their record is flip. They could be coming in here 647 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: four and one just as easily as two and three. 648 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: So what do the Cardinals do well? I think defensively 649 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: is where I would start. They don't get a ton 650 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: of sacks, they don't turn the ball all over a ton, 651 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: but they're just really sound, and I think that's that's 652 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: kind of a typical Jonathan Gannon defense. He and Shane 653 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: Styke can work together in Philadelphia. Jonathan Gannon used to 654 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: be here as defensive backs coach under Matt Eberflus. They're 655 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: sound in the way they play. They're good against the run. 656 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: They're seventh and rushing yards per play at three point 657 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: nine yards per carry allowed. They spent a lot of 658 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: resources this offseason to shore up their defense and make 659 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: that a strength of their team on that side of 660 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: the ball. So they're gonna be a tough challenge. I mean, 661 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: look there, they're only allowing nineteen point two points per game. 662 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: That's fourth in the NFL, right behind the Colts who 663 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: are third at seventeen point eight points allowed per game. 664 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be easy sledding against this team. 665 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Putting up forty points is gonna be tough. Putting up 666 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: thirty three points or forty one points is gonna be 667 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: tough in this game. This might be a game where 668 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: the Colts do need to grind it out a little bit, 669 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: and you know, we'll see if Arizona is able to 670 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: get you know, some stops on the ground. Now, we're 671 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: just full disclosure. We're taping this before the first injury 672 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: report of the week comes out. So the last that 673 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: I heard information wise was that Jonathan Gannon would be 674 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: monitoring Kyler Murray's foot injury. It knocked him out of 675 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: the game against Tennessee for a couple of plays. He 676 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: came back and he finished the game. But Kyler Murray 677 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: this year is having a very interesting season. So he's 678 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: sixty He's completing sixty eight percent of his passes. That's 679 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: a really high rate. But he's averaging just six yards 680 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: per attempt, which is thirty second out of forty quarterbacks 681 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: with twenty five or more attempts this year. He's gonna scramble, right, 682 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: we know that about Kyler. He's got the third most 683 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: scrambles in the NFL is seventeen. All the other thing 684 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: we know about Kyler he's not very tall, So get 685 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: your hands up. Kyler Murray seven batted passes this year, 686 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: tied for the most in the NFL. The Colts did 687 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: a really good job with that against the Raiders last 688 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: year because they kind of knew Geno Smith was gonna 689 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: throw a little bit low, especially down on the red zone. 690 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: That's how Grover Stewart got his hand up knocked that 691 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: pass in the year that Layoutu Latu interception intercepted Murray 692 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: though he's not gonna give you the ball a whole 693 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: lot six lowest turnover worthy play rate in the NFL. 694 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: He is the eighth lowest big time throw rate, so 695 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: he's not taking a ton of risks. I don't know 696 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: if that benefits the Cardinals or not, but it does mean, hey, 697 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: you might not be able to get the ball away 698 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: from Arizona a whole lot. You're gonna have to make 699 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: some stops, probably on third down in this game. Cardinal's 700 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: not very explosive on offense twenty eighth and explosive pass 701 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: play rate this year. They do a decent job protecting Kyler, 702 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: and Kyler I think does a good job protecting himself. 703 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: Their top ten and pressure rate allowed. And then you 704 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: know Marvin Harrison Junior is he's extremely talented. The production 705 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: hasn't been I think what people thought. I was surprised 706 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: to learn this. So he had ninety eight yards against 707 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: the Titans in Week four. That's the third most receiving 708 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: yards he's had in a game in his career, ninety eight. 709 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: He's a better player than that. You gotta be aware 710 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: of him. Certainly gotta be aware of Trey mcbridey leads 711 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals with forty two targets and twenty nine receptions 712 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: at tight end. It's gonna be interesting game. I mean, 713 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen and Jonathan Gannon know each other really well. 714 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: They know each other's tendencies, what they like to do. 715 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: This is going to be a challenge for the Colts 716 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: to overcome. You know, Look, you're riding high at four 717 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: and one. You just beat the snot out of the Raiders. 718 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: Now you got a Cardinals team that's coming in that 719 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: is gonna be down a little bit after losing that 720 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: game to Tennessee. But you gotta be able to take 721 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: care of business here. You got to know this is 722 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: not the You shouldn't expect this to be a blowout. 723 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: You should expect this to be a four quarter game. 724 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: I think the Colts expect every game to be a 725 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: four quarter game. 726 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 2: It's just so. 727 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: It turns out that three of their five games this 728 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: year have not been four quarter games, which is pretty wild. Yeah, 729 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: just gonna be an interesting challenge here for the Colts 730 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday against Arizona. Look, you win this game, you 731 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: come out of at five and one, you go back 732 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: to La feeling really good about yourself, and I mean, look, 733 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: now you got to keep pace with the Jaguars. They're 734 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: just like, straight up, I don't you know. We had 735 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: Robert Mason the pod last week and I asked him 736 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: about the Jags and he brought up turnover lock and 737 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: how maybe they're they're getting, you know, some bounces to 738 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: go their way. But watching that game against the Chiefs 739 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: where they they maybe got lucky at the end where 740 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: Trevor fell down and still was able to get in 741 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: the end zone for the game winning touchdown. But Jacksonville 742 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: kind of got jobbed a little bit on the pass 743 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: interference that they didn't call that led to Trevor's interception. 744 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: They probably got jobbed a little bit on an OPI 745 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: call that the officials waved off down at the goal 746 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: line for Kansas City. So Jags are gonna be right 747 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: there this year. 748 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 2: I think. 749 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: I think I feel pretty comfortable saying that. And look, 750 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: no one with the Colts, like no coaches or players 751 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: are thinking this, but like I'm thinking it. You don't 752 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: want to go to Jacksonville onto seven seventh and needing 753 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: to win that game because the Colts have not won 754 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville in a long time. And by the way, 755 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: if you need to win that game, that means not 756 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: only are you good, but the Jags are good. 757 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 2: So we'll see. 758 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far ahead of myself 759 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: with that one, but I can't stop thinking about just man, 760 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Colts are off to this great start 761 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: and then the Jaguars are right there. So keep pace 762 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: with the Jags. This week, go beat Arizona and well again, 763 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: we'll feel pretty good going to LA. That's gonna do it. 764 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: This episode of the Cult Show, we are presented by 765 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Microsoft Surface Copilot plus PC.
