1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199 Speaker 1: Thanks Aaron, Steve, how you doing good? Are you doing today? 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Doing really well? I'm ready to talk some Colts, Um, 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: so I want to ask about Jonathan Taylor as you 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: started to study the Colts. Yeah, what what are some 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: of the things you're you've been seeing that have led 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: to his production? Which is no one's produced more right, yeah, no, uh, 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: his production is yeah off the charts relative to a 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of other players in the league 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: right now. Um, obviously playing at a high level, a 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: lot of things are clicking for this offense, which, um, 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: you know, not taking away from him as a very 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: good player, but you know, once all that stuff starts 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: starts working really well, then you know it's tough to 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: stop him. And if you put all your eggs into 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: into stopping that that that problem, then it's going to 16 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 1: open up problems other places. So they're doing a lot 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: of stuff well, but um, for him specifically, you know, 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: he runs really hard, he's a tough guy to tackle, 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: he's got he's got a really good speed, um and 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: you know he's complimented very well by by Hines. So uh, 21 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: you know they got they got two good backs that um, 22 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: they do have some similarities but they also got got 23 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: some differences to make them challenging to to defend. And 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: then they put them both out on the field and 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: and that's another problem in itself. So um, they got 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot of different options there with that. And uh, 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, obviously really it usually starts uh starts up 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: front with the old line and giving those guys a 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: chance to even get going. So you know, you you 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: pick where you want to start on that one. But 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: they're all they're all a problem that that we need 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: to be ready to face. So um, so they do 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: put them out there at the same time. Huh yeah, yeah, 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, that's uh, you know, definitely one of their 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: one of their groups there with um with those two 36 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: guys in there, and again both both very versatile, um 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, splitting hines out and get them out of 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: the backfield, um or putting them both in the back 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: field and running some some space plays or just you know, 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: some runs, RPOs and stuff like that. So they they 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: do a good job with that stuff. Um. Well, I 42 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: got a lot to prepare for him. And what type 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: of ball is Carson Wentz playing From what you've seen 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: in your film review, Yeah, he's playing very very efficient Um, 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: you know he has a real strong arm. He's always 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: been a been a big, strong quarterback for them. Um. 47 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: So he he does a good job distributing the ball 48 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: um to the tight ends, the receivers, the backs. Um, 49 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: like I said, runs a runs an efficient offense, and 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: and they get they get out to a quick lead. 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Um early in the game. They score a lot of 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: points early. Which Dan, when you're playing from ahead, you 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: got the whole playbook open to you. Um. So uh, 54 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: you know, run game, pass game, all the alternative plays 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: instead of you know, playing from behind and having to 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: play catch up where most teams generally fall back on 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: the pass game. Um, but you know that hasn't hasn't 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: been much of a problem for them this year. They 59 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: jump out to a quick start and um, you know, 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: defense gives them a lot of a lot of opportunities 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: with the way that they're taking the ball away. So 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: very good in all three phases. Obviously, my man Bubba 63 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: doing a great job over there pulling everything together between 64 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: offense and defense. So um yeah, they're they're a very 65 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: good team. Um. And it all, it all ties them 66 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: together for me, all three phases. We've got a Karen 67 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: next go ahead, Karen, Hey, Steve, how's it going going great? 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Um, I asked 69 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: one of my questions. But good thing. I have a 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: couple more up my sleeve. Here we go. U. If 71 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: you were to say, right now, heading into week fifteen, 72 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: m the biggest reason for for you having like the 73 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: best defense allowing just fifteen points a game? What would 74 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: you what would you say? The biggest factor is for 75 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: that happening? Um? Yeah, I mean I think that, Uh, 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not too caught up in the stats 77 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: and and stuff like that. You know, if other teams 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: had a lower number of points than our number could change. 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: It just happens to be the lowest today. But that stuff, 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: that stuff changes pretty quickly. UM. But I think that, 81 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, the credit really goes to the players, um, 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: and the and the way that they're playing. Um, they're 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: playing together. Um, they're playing for each other. And uh, 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you can underestimate the importance of that. 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: And and the camaraderie that those guys have is is 86 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: something that's, uh that's fun to watch as a coach. 87 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: And uh, those guys know each other's strengths and weaknesses. 88 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: And playing unselfishly to put put other guys in spots. Um, 89 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: you know that that definitely helps the success of the team. 90 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: I think, yeah. Would you say that kind of the 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: buying factor to what each part has to do to 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: be successful and and how that's worked out collectively is 93 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: part of the reason for the success of the unit. Um. Yeah, 94 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. UM, I wouldn't really describe 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: it as buying into anything. I'm not sure what they're 96 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: buying into. They're just you know, realizing that that there's 97 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there on the field that 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: can they can make plays and um, not chasing plays 99 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: for for individual success, but you know, doing their job 100 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: and doing what they need to do, and usually the 101 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: plays end up, you know, being made by a lot 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: of different people. Um. When when that stuff happens? So, UM, 103 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Personally, I haven't tried to sell them 104 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: on buying into anything. It's really just understanding what we're 105 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: all trying to accomplish, UM as a unit. And I 106 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: think the plays will come great. Thank you, Steve, Thank you. 107 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: Back to back to Mike Race go ahead, Mike, all right, 108 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: thanks So Steve, this is like a bigger picture question, Like, 109 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: I was shocked when I saw that this the first 110 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: time the Patriots are going back to the Indie since 111 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, because I remember it seemed like 112 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: every year like back in like the two thousands, you 113 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, be like every year almost or at least 114 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: it felt like that. So my question too is what 115 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: do you remember about Patriots Colts from like that time 116 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, um, oh yeah, that was uh yeah, that 117 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: was one of the the bigger, bigger robberies. Um really 118 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: going back to when I think they were in the 119 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: AFC East before they reuh you know, restructured the divisions 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So um back when when we 121 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: got here in two thousand, we you know, were division 122 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: rivals and then they split it up. Um once they 123 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: reform out of that stuff, and then you know, always 124 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: the top teams in the in the conference playing against 125 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: each other. So that was very very frequent, um uh 126 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, games against each other, and then you know, 127 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: more often than not saw each other again in the postseason. 128 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: So it felt like it felt like that game was 129 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: happening happening a lot, even though we weren't in the 130 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: same division. Um yeah, I don't know, I definitely remember 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: some some very memorable games against against those older Colts teams.
