Speaker 1: are going into this game four six and one after

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: their heartbreaking loss to the Eagles on Sunday. That defeat

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: now puts the Colts in tenth place in the AFC standings,

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: which is on the outside looking in on the playoff picture.

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: If the postseason started today, your division winners would be

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at eight and two, the Dolphins from the

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: AFC East at seven and three, The Titans would be

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: the three seed from the AFC South at seven and three,

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: and the Ravens the four seed from the AFC North.

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: They're winning that division with the record of seven and

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: three as well, and of course, the big reason why

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: those teams are where they are they've won close games.

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are four and two in one score games

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: this season, the Dolphins are five and one in one

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: possession games, the Titans are five and two in close games.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Thelts are four three and one in tight games, and

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: they have dropped their last two home games by identical

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: scores of seventeen sixteen to the Commanders and the Eagles.

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: The Colts defense has played very well on the season,

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: no exception on Sunday against Philadelphia. All things considered, the

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Colts did enough to win, but Philadelphia found a way

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: to scrounge out the victory on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium,

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: despite the fact the Colts led by ten going into

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but they were outscored fourteen to three

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: in the final period. The Eagles put up just seventeen

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: points for the game. That was a season low for them,

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: but it was enough to beat the Colts, who only

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: scored sixteen points. The Colts went one for three in

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the red zone on offense, they gave up four sacks,

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: and they suffered seven tackles for loss, and that's been

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: the theme all season for the Colts. Unfortunately, the defense

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: has had to shoulder a big responsibility. The Colts defense

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: has held seven teams to twenty points or less and

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: they're just three three one in those games. The Colts

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: have also held five teams to under two hundred yards

58
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: passing and they've only won one of those games. Colts

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: made a roster move today they signed defensive end college

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Kareem Off of the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Also in

61
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: the process, they waived safety Trevor denbo Kareem's in his

62
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: third year in the NFL. He's at a Notre Dame.

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: He was drafted in the fifth round by Cincinnati played

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: in all sixteen games as a rookie. Last season, he

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: played in seven games, including the Super Bowl, for the

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Bengals This year, he was signed to the practice squad

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: after spending the first half of the season on ir

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: He suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason back in August,

69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and by rule, he has to be on the Colts

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: active roster for the next three weeks, and the upcoming

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: bye week for the Colts factors into that as well

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: elsewhere with injuries for the Colts, offensive lineman Matt Prior,

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: he's out of the hospital. He was hospitalized on Sunday

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: due to an illness right before the game, and illness

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: has hit the Colts hard lately. Cornerback Kenny Moore, linebacker

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin, and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers missed varying amounts of

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: practice time last week due to illness. Also, defensive and

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Quitty pay missed the game against Philadelphia on Sunday with

79
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: an ankle and we'll see if he's back on the

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow when the Colts get back to work

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: getting ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tie for a quick

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: break here on the Colts Daily Update, we'll hear from

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: Jeff's Saturday on the loss to the Eagles and his

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the job after two weeks as the interim

85

Speaker 1: on the Colts Daily Update. Stay with us. This is

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: ninety three to five and one oh seven five the Fan.

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: We now return to the Colts Daily Update with Matt Taylor,

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: the Voice of the Colts. Welcome back. This is the

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: Colts Daily Update tonight Colts and Steelers coming up in

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: week number twelve on Monday Night Football. The Steelers are

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: three and seven after their worst start since two thousand

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: and three. They've lost four of their last five games,

94
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: and they are in danger of suffering their first losing

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: season and almost two decks. Last night on Colts Roundtable Live,

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Jeff's Saturday discussed the tough loss to the Eagles and

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: where he feels the Colts are with six games to

98
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: play and in case you missed that. Here's a sample

99
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: for you now as Saturday discusses where and how the

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Colts fell short to Philadelphia on Sunday, they just missed opportunities.

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, when you when you turn it back on,

102
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: there were um, you know there there there are so

103
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: many plays out there to be had and to be made,

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, you know, I talked to the

105
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: guys post game in the locker room just about execution

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: and what differentiates you know, teams that are nine and

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: one and and teams that are below five hundred or

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: you know, the margin is very small, and it's it's

109
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: about execution in moments of games. And so we had

110
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of plays that could be made. Whether it

111
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: was whether it was a you know, penalties, whether it

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: was missed assignments, whether it was a drop, whether it

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: was a missfield goal. You know, there are a number

114
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: of different things that you go through and say, had

115
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: that been different, it's a completely different game. And that's

116
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: we've practiced really well, and it's being able to trans

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: you know, transition from the practice field to the game

118
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: field and make sure that we understand listen, here's the

119
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be simple. It's going to be fast, but

120
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: execution is ultimately the key. Uh, And we just didn't

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: we didn't execute in in enough place. And you've been

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: part of everything as a player. You've been part of

123
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: games like last week in Las Vegas and certainly games

124
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: like Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. What was your message

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: to the guys? I mean, you know that they they

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: fought their tales off at the end of the day, right,

127
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: there's there There are no moral victories in the NFL,

128
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: no exactly. And listen, nobody in there felt good. Oh man,

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: we get you know that that that doesn't exist in

130
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, right, And I told them we have the

131
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: right guys in this locker room. Like you, you trust

132
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: each other. The effort has been just insanely good. Like

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: I I the way they practiced, the way they hit

134
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday, the way they played all four quarters.

135
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: There's never there is never an effort issue. And as

136
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I want, I mean, it's it's I I appreciate that

137
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: there are no loafs, right. I mean, when you watched

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: the table, there's nobody who's who are taking plays off

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: or not putting in what they're supposed to be doing. Again,

140
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: there there is a fine line of making sure that

141
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: you execute just your job and don't try to overdo

142
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: and overplay because these guys they care that much, and

143
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: so M definitely appreciative of the effort that the guys

144
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: put out there. Again, as I looked at the game

145
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: even this morning, and we're going through it as a

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: staff man with a minute twenty and a time out down,

147
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, down one point, I still there. There was

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: no part of that game that I felt like we

149
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: were outplayed. You know, we just didn't do enough to

150
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: make it. And so ultimately you do get outplayed because

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: you don't make enough plays to win in the end,

152
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and so m Philly did. And we didn't know Jonathan

153
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: Taylor had forty seven rushing yards in that first drive

154
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: of the game and then obviously tough sledding after that,

155
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: averaged only two point three per carry the rest of

156
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the game after the first drive. What made it difficult

157
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball against Philadelphia after that opening series, Yeah,

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: they had, they had They ran a bunch of eight

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: man and and plus boxes, right, so they're bringing guys down.

160
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: So there's you know, there's there. It's either a difficult

161
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: block at the second level or a free hat. Um

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: and and and again, you know, they did a really

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: nice job of um of coming down late in late

164
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: in the in the in the play clock, so you know,

165
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: as a play cocks coming down, they did a nice

166
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: job of getting down there. And again when there were

167
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: plays to be made, um, you know, we didn't execute.

168
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: So there were things that there were answers that we had. Uh,

169
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're not gonna get away. We understand

170
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: how our offense is going to run through. We're not

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna get away from You're not going to scare us

172
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: out of running the football. You can't be And again,

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I know two point eight yards doesn't sound you know,

174
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: like you want to keep going. But the realities if

175
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: you looked at Washington the week before, there was a

176
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: lot of you know, the three yard type carry. So

177
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: you understand the way defenses play you it's not always

178
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: gonna be big runs, but if you do split one,

179
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be enormous to be explosive play. And if

180
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: you hit something behind it, they're gonna be um exposed

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: as well. But again it's about executing when those moments

182
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: happen and those plays are allowed. Uh and we just

183
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: didn't make enough. That's interim coach Jeff Saturday with US

184
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: tonight on Colts Roundtable Live. The defense. You hold the

185
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Eagles to seventeen points, that's a season low for them.

186
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: That that's a winning number by NFL standards, Right, So

187
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: how do you rate the overall defensive game when you

188
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: put up a great number, But at the end of

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: the day, you just have to do what you have

190
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: to do that day to win the game. Yeah, I know,

191
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: I think from that, from that persuaded, that's a winning performance,

192
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: right when you if you stacked up and told me, hey,

193
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: you're they're gonna hold them to seventeen points, I would

194
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: have told you we're gonna win. Right. So yeah, And

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: people always go, well, you know, it's always a defensive

196
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: job to give up fewer I get it, and um,

197
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: but they they did a They did a fantastic job

198
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: Gus and his staff about making sure the guys played fast.

199
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: It was a simple play. I mean, you think three

200
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: of the guys didn't practice because of illness and they

201
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: still came out and we're able to execute. I thought

202
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: they gave Philly all that they wanted and you know,

203
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: they're still disappointed because they gave up a touchdown late

204
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: and you know, we had to lead and didn't close

205
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: it out. But but football is three phases, and all

206
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: three phases have to step up and do what they

207
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: have to do to execute. And so I think that

208
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: the defense gave us a chance to win. We didn't

209
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: execute in the other two phases, and that's where we

210
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: have to improve if we want to beat teams like Philly.

211
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to a few fan questions here

212
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: before I wrap up. If again, if you have a

213
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: question for Interham head coach chefs Saturday, tonight and every

214
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Monday night on Colts Roundtable Live tweeted in using hashtag

215
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: Colts Roundtable. Jared is up first tonight, coach, after two

216
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: games in for you, is the head coaching opportunity what

217
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: you thought it was going to be when you agreed

218
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: to take the job. Yeah, No, I came in eyes

219
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: wide open. I understood where we were as a football

220
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: team and the struggles and the strengths of it, and yeah,

221
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: felt felt fully prepared to be able to take on

222
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: the challenge. I have truly enjoyed my time. Uh, it

223
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: has been an absolute blast going into locker room with

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: the guys and being you know, with the staff. Everybody

225
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: has been, um, been better than I deserve, and so

226
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: I have. I have greatly appreciated everybody, the effort, the energy,

227
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: the excitement, um, and so no I have uh there

228
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: there has been. There has been no part of this

229
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: where I have been uh second guessing it in the least.

230
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: Nick is up next. What did you make of our

231
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: pass rush coach? We were we playing contain on the

232
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: outside to make sure Hurts didn't beat us more than

233
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: he did with his rushing ability. Yeah, no, you mean Russia.

234
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Lane integrity is vital when you're playing against Hurts, and

235
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: so you know it's not going to be a free

236
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: for all, um, you know, for for you as you

237
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: would get prepared for like a stationary quarterback so um.

238
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: And as much as they use quarterback draw and quarterback

239
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: run and even quarterback lead, Um, you can't just you know,

240
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: pin your ears back and go because they're not scared

241
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: on a third and six to have a QB draw.

242
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: So I thought, again, our defense did a really nice job,

243
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: whether it be stunts up front or movement up front,

244
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: to make sure we tried to trap him in and

245
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: keep him in the pocket, and that if he was

246
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: going to try to get us with his legs rally

247
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: and tackle. Again, that's a big man, you know. You know,

248
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: he's a strong runner and a very physical runner if

249
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: he needs to be, and then he threatens you with

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: his arm as well. So I thought the defense had

251
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: a good plan. They executed it, got enough pressure on him,

252
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: got a strip sack obviously in the first play of

253
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the second half, which is enormous, And so I thought

254
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: in moments where they could, they did a good job.

255
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: But some of it you have to limit just for

256
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you don't want to give a

257
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: big play as opposed to keeping somebody in there for

258
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: a two or three yard game. All right. The Steelers

259
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: are next. They're having a tough season. They're three and seven.

260
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: They are in danger of suffering their first losing season

261
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: since the two thousand and three season. That's just how

262
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: good they've been as a franchise, right. The Colts have

263
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: lost seven straight games to Pittsburgh. Interesting note here, the

264
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: last time the Colts beat the Steelers two thousand and eight,

265
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: Jeff's Saturday was the starting center in that game for

266
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: the Colts. So what do you see from the Steelers

267
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: when you examine them here early in the week going

268
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: into this Monday night game. Yeah, obviously, listen, this is

269
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: one of the better defenses in the league, and everybody

270
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: knows that that hasn't changed in the decades that you're

271
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: talking about of how good they are. Their offense started

272
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: slow this year, actually the last two weeks or three

273
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: weeks maybe now their their offense has really picked it up.

274
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: They're starting to find form with a rookie quarterback, obviously

275
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. They have explosive wide receivers that can make

276
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: plays and yards after catch. They can be special, and

277
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: their offensive line gets gets uh, gets attacked quite a bit.

278
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: But they're much better pass blockers than people give them

279
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: credit for. A very good offensive line coach, and so

280
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: they understand with Harris being at a running back, if

281
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: they give him a small gap, he can make you pay. So, uh,

282
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: this is no small task. We know what's what's at

283
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: stake and what's it in front of us, and we

284
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: got to go out and execute again. Um, you know,

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: we need to go play our style football whoever the

286
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: opponent is. You know, we can't we can't worry about

287
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: the decal. We gotta go focus on ourselves, get better

288
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: this week of practice and then hopefully come out and

289
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: execute on Monday night. That's Jeff Saturday. That's from last
