22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and this conversation with intrim head coach jeffs Saturday. Matt,

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, jam V. It's time now for

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: the head coaches. A report with interim head coach Jeff's

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: Saturday tonight on Colt's Happy Hour and Jeff, the guys

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: were back this week following the bye. What kind of energy,

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: what kind of attitude did you see out of the

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: team this week after a couple of days off last week? Yeah,

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: A lot of excitement, right, a lot of pop. You know.

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: I thought practice was really good throughout the week. I

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: thought the guys were really competitive, and I think it

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: was a good time for the for the bye. You know,

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: this has been a long season for them, especially with

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: all the you know, all the all the stuff with

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: with Frank and then you know, the season being disappointing

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: from a win loss perspective, all of those different thing.

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I think emotionally, it just takes a toll, so to

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: get away, get away in the building. I think gave

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: them chance to catch their breath, get get you know,

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: get kind of recalibrated a bit. But I thought this week.

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: They were focused, they were energetic, and they were competitive

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: at practice. You're sticking with Matt Ryan at quarterback. He's

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be the QB four you in Week fifteen

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Obviously, the storyline of the season the

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: turnover is the lack of ball security. You know, Matt's

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: obviously played a factor into that coming back after the bye.

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Do you sense a little bit of a chip on

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: his shoulder to prove that he's not that guy? He

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: can play clean football and better football for you down

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the stretch. Yeah, you hope, so right. I mean, anytime

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: as a competitor where you're not meeting a standard that

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: you you expect and hold yourself too, that's frustrating and disappointing.

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: And so I think he understands what he thought this

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: year was going to look like. Obviously it hasn't started

55
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: that way, and but you got four games to go

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: make it happen. And so I think when he and

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I talk about it, you know, there's there's no way

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: you win in the NFL turning it over. And whether

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: that's fumbling it or throwing interceptions, Um, you know, we

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: have to protect the football. And so that's a point

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: of emphasis for us and for everybody on the squad,

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: but he's included in that, and I think he understands

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the value of finishing strong. And for a guy who's

64
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: been around the game as long as he has, uh,

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: he understands that his portion of that is magnified because

66
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: you are the quarterback. You touch it more than anybody,

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: and so protecting that thing is vital. And you got

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: fifty two other guys. Livelihood's in your hand and you

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: need you need to treat it as such. All Right,

70
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: The Vikings are up next. They're ten and three, but

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: they've won a bunch of one score games. In fact,

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: nine of their ten wins have been by one score, Right,

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: So how do you look at that? Do you look

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: at it as impressive because they have found ways to win?

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: And that's the bottom line in the NFL? Or is it? Man?

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: They're they're just really good in the clutch, but they're

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: incredibly beatable. How do you view them? Yeah? No, I

78
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: think I think the first right, they're earlier. I think

79
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: when you think about teams being able to close tight

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: ball games, that's what separates good and great teams in

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Finding ways. It's never you know. I mean

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: we've talk about all the time, nobody draws pictures, nobody

83
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: remembers how you want them. They just look at the Hey,

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: look at the final score and move on to many

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, So you know, as you tallly him up.

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: So I think they've done a heck of a job

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: finding ways to win. And honestly, we're trying to copy that.

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: You know, we've had some some really close ball games

89
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: where we haven't come up h you know, to meet

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: that that challenge against Philly and Pittsburgh. And so when

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: when you have those type of days where you can

92
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: finish it out, finding a way is much more important

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: than how pretty it looks to everybody else, no doubt

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: about that. And they've got Justin Jefferson. This guy leads

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the NFL and receiving this season. He's coming off a

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: game last Sunday against the Lions two twenty three receiving wise,

97
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: which is a franchise record for Minnesota. Why has he

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: been able to turn himself into a superstar so quickly?

99
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: It really is unbelievable. And listen from from the media

100
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: perspective covering him the last couple of years and then

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: having to come coach against him. Uh, you know, he's

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: he's the best in the business right now. And when

103
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: you look at him and the way that he plays,

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: I bet watching the Detroit tape, I bet fifty percent

105
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: of those plays he's double covered. Like they they put

106
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: the resources on him to take him out of the game,

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: He's still making those plays. So it's like, you know,

108
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: when you think about it from a defensive perspective, how

109
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: can we limit because you know you can't shut him out, right,

110
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: It's just how do we limit explosive plays? How do

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: you limit touchdowns and those kinds of things. Because I'm

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: telling you, when I turn on the Detroit tape, I

113
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: thought they did everything I would have thought you have

114
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: to do to take him out of the game. And

115
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: then you look over and it's two twenty three and

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: he is. He's carried that offense. So he's a heck

117
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: of a ball player. We're gonna have to do. You

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: have to have a ton of communication on the back end,

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: understanding where he is, because the thing about Minnesota that

120
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: makes him different from most teams is they move him

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: all around, so he can be in the slide, he

122
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: can be outside, he can be tied he can be bunched.

123
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: How you know they'll find ways, and that he is,

124
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: that he knows all of those roles and can effectively

125
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: play out of all them just separates him again from

126
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: so many others because that's a lot of mental gym.

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: Now sticks i't think people will respect enough. Is when

128
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: you got to get in all those different spots and

129
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: coverage changes in disguises for him to be able to

130
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: adapt and make plays. He's a heck of a ball player.

131
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you still have to defend

132
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: the running game with Dalvin Cook and they've got feeling

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: and they've got t J. Hawkinson, one of the better

134
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: athletic tight ends. I mean, that's even more stress. No,

135
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. Again, this offense is loaded with talent,

136
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: and you think about Hockins in the addition for him

137
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: as a real pass catching threat, and I think they've

138
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: been trying to get him almost seven targets a game,

139
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: so he is fully in their game plan understanding, Hey,

140
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: this is we're gonna attack the mill to field those

141
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: seams with him and yards after the catch for him

142
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: is special. And so yeah, listen, we have our defense

143
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: has their hands full. We understand offensive, We're gonna need

144
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: to score some points to match with these guys. They're

145
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: they're a really good group. Yeah. Their defense, though, they're

146
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: having a tough goal of it. Right, they're dead last

147
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL and yards allowed and passing yards allowed.

148
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: But they've got some big names over there, right, They've

149
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: got Neil Hunter and Zadarius Smith, Kendricks Peterson and the

150
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: back and Harrison Smith in the back end. What stands

151
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: out to you about their defense because the name recognition

152
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: doesn't match up with the production. Yeah, turnovers. I mean, listen,

153
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: if you if you circled their defenses, and how can

154
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: this team be ten and three? And how can this

155
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: team be one of the best in the NFC. They

156
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: don't care about giving up yards, right, like in between

157
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: the twenties, they'll they'll let yards be had. And it

158
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of the way New England used

159
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: to play. I know the defenses are completely different, but

160
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: the style that you know, as you enter the red

161
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: zone they tighten it down and then they have a

162
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: ton of turney. I think they are a top seven

163
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: team and turnovers and listen, I don't care how good

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: you're in the NFL. If you give the ball or

165
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the other team and in their offense can go make

166
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: those you know, make those points. That's how they win games.

167
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: And so they do a really good job of bending

168
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: but not breaking. And as they tighten down, they make

169
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: big plays. And we've talked about it. We have to

170
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: limit explosive plays offensively and we can't give them explosion

171
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: of plays defensively. That's how every team they've eaten has

172
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: has allowed them to either stay in the game or

173
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: win the game. Um and and and again. Both ways.

174
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: You've seen them turn it over on and buffalo like diving,

175
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, and the ball gets you know, tipped, and

176
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're in the end zone for six.

177
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: So they find ways. Man, this is this a tough

178
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: minded group. Uh. And they finish. Jeff, final couple of

179
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: things for you, You're you're halfway through this this eight

180
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: game interim experience for you as the head coach. Now

181
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: that you're at the halfway point and you've had the

182
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: bye week and you've had some time to reflect. For you,

183
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: how much fun are you having doing this? I love it.

184
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm having an absolute blast. We need to win more

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: like that. My life much easier. Uh. The results have

186
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: not been what I've wanted, but I knew coming in

187
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: there was there was there was a significant amount to

188
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: do and and you know, not again being halfway through

189
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: the season not being able to kind of do everything

190
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: and trying to figure things out. Um, it takes time,

191
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: but I have I have loved the way that guys

192
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: have approached the coaching staff. I've enjoyed my role and

193
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: being able to try to lead these men. Unfortunately, in

194
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: two tight ones we haven't come up with a whim.

195
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: But we've given ourselves a chance in every game except Dallas, right,

196
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: and even then at the fourth quarter you're down too,

197
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: and then you know you have a just an absolute meltdown.

198
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: But the guys are fighting, man, And like I told them,

199
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: when they finally figure out how to finish these type

200
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: of games and get these wis, they'll stack so fast

201
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: you don't even realize it. But that's the point we're

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: trying to get to. Yeah, no doubt about that. That's

230
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: Happy Hour, and we're gonna roll out the blueprints for

231
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the Colts. When the Vikings have the football Minnesota checks

232
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: in ten and three and they have a very consistent offense.

233
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Gotta by Kirk Cousins who ranked seventh in the NFL

234
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: this season in passing their tenth and scoring twenty four

235
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: points per game, pretty good inside the red zone. And

236
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: their team that won't beat themselves. They only have fourteen

237
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: turnovers all season. They're nine and oh this season when

238
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: they win the turnover battle. Cousins and his eleventh season

239
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL through for a season high four twenty

240
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: five last week and they're loss against the Lions. He

241
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: ranks fourth and passing yards in team history. His main target,

242
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: young superstar Justin Jefferson. He had two twenty three receiving

243
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: last week against the Lions. That was a team record

244
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: and the most receiving yards in a game all season.

245
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: He's in his third year out of LSU holds the

246
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: NFL record for receiving yards by a player and their

247
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: first three NFL seasons simply remarkable forty five hundred yards

248
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: for his career, and he leads the NFL and receiving

249
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: yards so far this season. The running game goes through

250
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. Now in a sixth season, he has the

251
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: fourth most rushing yards in franchise history, in the fifth

252
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: most rushing yards in the NFL since the start of

253
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: last season. Although they're not running the ball very effectively

254
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: here as of late. I'm sure you're going to get

255
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: into that here in just a second. Adam Feeling and TJ.

256
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: Howkinson at tight end really good complimentary pieces, and the

257
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: passing game for cousins. So what else do we need

258
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: to know about the vikings on offense going into this

259
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: game in week fifteen? I think the number one must

260
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: is we can't let this running game get a going

261
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: at all. And now one A or I'll call it

262
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: number two, but it's one A being because you have

263
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: to do this simultaneously. Is we have to schematically take

264
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: away Jefferson. You know as much as I as much

265
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: as I like Gilmore, and I think he could do

266
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: a good job. You know, in parts of this game,

267
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do is they move. They do a

268
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: great job of moving Jefferson. This is the Bill Wolsh stuff.

269
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: They will do a great job of movin Jefferson around

270
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: so that you can you can't ensure that one guy

271
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: has him, and then they're gonna line him up in

272
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: bunches and stacks so that you can't get your hands

273
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: on him. You can't get the free access. They will

274
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: get him free access into the secondary. So you have

275
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to have a scheme where you always have a trap

276
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: on him. Okay, you can't. If you think you're gonna

277
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: play him all day, then you need to be coaching

278
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: on Friday night NAT, not on Sunday afternoon. Is the

279
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: guy's ninety nine catches, fifteen hundred yards, fifteen two and

280
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: six and six touchdowns. So you know, like I said,

281
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand

282
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: is you have to stop Dalvin Cook and you have

283
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: to stop Jefferson period. And I believe you can stop

284
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: those two schematically. But remember it's got to be schematically.

285
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: On Jefferson. I don't think you're gonna be able to

286
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: play him one on one all day. And then number three,

287
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean you got to handle the Hockinson's particularly Hockinson

288
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: becomes important on third down. Jefferson's number one on third down,

289
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: Hawkinson's number two, but you got to handle him with

290
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: talent and physicality. You know, same thing with Theland You're

291
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: gonna have to double the other guy. So you're gonna

292
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: have to handle those two guys that way. I think

293
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: the other thing, and I've kind of mentioned it in

294
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the philosophy section, is you really have to do a

295
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: good job of this week against their stacks and bunches

296
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: and coves and motion and all that stuff, because they're

297
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna get you to lose men if you're not careful.

298
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: You have to be able to sort all those things out.

299
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: And then number four, and really this should go with

300
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: one and two again. As I said, you stop two

301
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: guys and you affect the third. You stop Cook and

302
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: you stop Jefferson, and then you affect Cousins and force

303
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: him into a bad game. The first thing you got

304
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: to do with Cousins, I've said this every time we've

305
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: ever played him wherever he was, is you have to

306
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: close off his edges. He's an exceptional guy on the

307
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: move to the outside on boots. He's made a living

308
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: with this. You know, O'Connell coached him. O'Connell was the

309
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: quarterback coach in Washington back in two seventeen, and I

310
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: can remember him playing back there for Jay Gruden, running

311
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: those boots all the time. You've got to close off

312
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: the edges and don't let him get out there because

313
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: he will destroy you if you let him do that.

314
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Keep the pocket dirty. I do think that he's a

315
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: competitive guy, and he's a tough guy, but I do

316
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: think he starts to backfoot things. In other words, he

317
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: will stop stepping into him if the pocket is dirty. Okay.

318
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to do against him, and

319
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: against this team, not just him, is I want to

320
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: blitz the hell out of him Matt. First of all,

321
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: Cook is a poor protector. Okay, you can run over

322
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: Cook with a linebacker. And then the other thing is

323
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: once you eat up to help for those offensive linemen,

324
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: then everybody else is one on one. So I want

325
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: to do that. Here's how I think of Here's what

326
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I think of cousin. I think he's you know, and

327
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you realize this or not, but

328
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: he's had more hits and more pressures than anybody in

329
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the league this year. So I mean they are poorous

330
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: if you get the advantage and take away their bread

331
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: and butter. I've always thought in cousins that he's highly paid,

332
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: he's often hit okay, and he has the absolute worst

333
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: face and body language in the league. So you know,

334
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: get up there and destroy him and make that sour

335
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: puss look bad all day. I don't know where we

336
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: go from that, but I love it. That's good stuff

337
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: right there. That's that's on the field. That's also diagnoses

338
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: off the field right there. Body language with Rick Van

339
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Terry here on Insight Football. All right, well, let's shift

340
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: over to the Vikings on defense. And as we said,

341
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: this unit might be there, it might end up being

342
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: I should say they're achilles heel because you know, the

343
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: offense is putting up points, they're finding ways to win

344
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: close games. But the Vikings come into this game dead

345
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: last and total defense, giving up over four hundred yards

346
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: per game on average. They're also dead last in passing defense,

347
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: giving up two eighty seven through the air a game,

348
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: and they've allowed five straight quarterbacks to throw for at

349
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: least three hundred yards. That's also a dubious franchise record.

350
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: And they're giving up big plays on a consistent basis.

351
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: They've allowed fifty one completions over twenty yards. That's second

352
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: to last in the NFL. That might be good news

353
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: for a Colts offense that's trying to push the ball

354
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: down the field here in the last four games of

355
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: the season. But despite all of that, Ricky, they've got

356
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on that side of the ball

357
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: individually speaking, right, Daniel Hunter seven sacks. He's ninth or

358
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: has the ninth most sacks among active players since twenty sixteen.

359
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: Darius Smith, a defensive end, leads the NFL with seventy

360
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures forty nine quarterback hurries. Jordan Hicks Eric Kendricks.

361
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: Two really good veteran linebackers, Patrick Peterson and Harrison Smith

362
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: veteran members in that secondary. I mean, Peterson's gone to

363
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: eight Pro Bowls. Smith's gone to six Pro Bowls. Rick

364
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: Why have the Vikings been so flimsy on defense despite

365
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: some big names on that side of the ball for them?

366
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: You know, I think of I think of Tom Cruise's

367
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: line in Maverick when they ask him that question, and

368
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: he said, it's one of life's mystery. Good. It really

369
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: is a mystery. And I'll tell you what a mystery

370
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: on a little simple game that I play when I

371
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: when I when I do the depth chart, and then

372
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: I do the depth chart before I start looking at tape,

373
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: and I have all the numbers and everybody in front

374
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: of me hand done old school number one pencil. And

375
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: then when I finish, I go around and I give

376
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: color codes to different people's blues for blue chip for

377
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: really good, and then you know, I'll circle guys that

378
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: I think are solid players, maybe not great players, but

379
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: solid and on defense, I have seven circles. I mean,

380
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: now that that's that's just kind of validating what you

381
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: had to say. I mean, they have enough talent that

382
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: they should be better than they are, but they they

383
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: have just really struggled totally and it's gotten worse and worse,

384
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: and I think they've lost some confidence. Their weakness is

385
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: overall defense and past defense, they have survived on two things,

386
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: you know, takeaways and getting after the quarterbacks if they

387
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: get ahead. I mean, keeping them at a disadvantage is

388
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: so important because this is a bad defensive team. Period.

389
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: They're schematically poor, they're disjointed, they don't play well together,

390
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: they make mistakes, and then they really even though I

391
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: can put seven circles, they don't have the ambient players, Matt,

392
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: there's not you know, I can put the circles, but

393
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't put any blue over there. There's nobody that

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: even though numbers are decent, there's nobody that I'm going

395
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: to just lose a lot of sleepovers. So I mean

396
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: that is the issue. All right. The Colts offensive must okay.

397
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: I think number one, you've got to dominate first down

398
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: and that's a mix. That's a mix of run the

399
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: quick rhythm. I like the RPOs to play actions. Again,

400
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: if they stay in at over defense, which they're gonna,

401
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: you want to go right into that open side with

402
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan and just keep powering the three on the other side.

403
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: If they go sink, just power the heck out of it.

404
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: But again, keep the RPOs going with Matt, keep the

405
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: play action going, no question about that. But you've got

406
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: to win first down, and if we're going to be successful,

407
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: we have to establish Jonathan Taylor right off the bat

408
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: to keep their defensive line on its heels. Number two,

409
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: we definitely have to control the edges, particularly if in

410
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: fact we get to second and long or a third

411
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: and long. You know, there's no question that Smith and

412
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: Hunter are very, very solid. You're talking about seventeen sacks

413
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: between the two of them. Hunter will always be on

414
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: the edge and Smith will be both on the edge

415
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: and inside as a spinner. We've got to do a

416
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: really good job on those guys. We've had our issues.

417
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: We have to know when to help and don't let

418
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: guys out there one on one. Don't let them a

419
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: bad defense beat us with something that we know is

420
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: our liability and their strength. You just you can't let

421
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: that happen coaching wise. And then this is what you're

422
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: going to expect. This is something that we've shown all

423
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: kinds of issues and they do pretty well. And that's

424
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: expect them to walk up on third down into those

425
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: a gaps with their linebackers with Hicks, you know, basically

426
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: basically with Hicks in that situation and and Kendrick, they're

427
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna walk up there and they're gonna try to attract you,

428
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: and they're gonna then come smoking off the edge. And

429
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: that's where we've had so much trouble. Teams that make

430
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: us block inside, get us attracted inside, and then come

431
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: off the edge. So all that number two, number one

432
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: is running, Number two is protect it. Really then number

433
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: three we've got to attack that two corner and I

434
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: want to get out for him with Pierce, just like

435
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I said Pierce last week on their weakest corner. Same

436
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: thing here. You know wherever Peterson's lining up, whether he's

437
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: matching or whether he's staying on the right side, we

438
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: want to go after the other guy, and we want

439
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: to go after him a lot, because that's how you

440
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: get points. It doesn't matter whether it's Scaley or Damseler.

441
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: Both guys are limited and will give up explosive plays

442
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: and they'll both struggle with Pierce. And then I think

443
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: number four, and I think this is the key is

444
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: in a game like this, we've got to take care

445
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: of the ball. We've talked about all season long. If

446
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: there's one thing that's cost us this season, it's been

447
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: given the ball away. There's no doubt about it. Fumbles

448
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: and picks have defined us and killed us in twenty two.

449
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: And their strength, really, other than the two great players

450
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: at receiver and running back, is really turnover ratio. They've

451
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: played clean. We have to play clean. We got to

452
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings at their own game again. I think

453
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: the remainder of this season, the last four. If we're

454
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen, it's gonna spin on our ball security.

455
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: It's Rickman Cherry, Matt Taylor right there, Uncle Tappy Hour

456
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: ninety three five, one oh seven five. A fan coming

457
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: up here, top of the hour, Pacer pregame show. Pacers

458
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: on the road in Cleveland coming up later off the

489
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: and Lindsay, you've had thirteen weeks to digest this Cults

490
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: team on a national level. What's your stance on where

491
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: the Cults are at right now, sitting four eight and

492
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: one coming off the bye. Well, I have questions for

493
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: you guys, Fireway. I don't know what to make I

494
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of this team from a

495
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: national stampoint. I mean, obviously everybody in the world has

496
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Jeff Saturday hire, you know, but from

497
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: a play on the field standpoint, I feel like the

498
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: team that you guys cover has been just the most

499
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: perplexing team in the NFL. Right the offensive line not

500
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: looking like the offensive line that I think most people

501
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: were expecting to. I would have never never guessed that

502
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was going to look the way that he

503
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: would have looked. I mean, you know, you you expect

504
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: some like depreciation of talent, I suppose, but I feel

505
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: like the Colts have been the hardest team to figure

506
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: out this year and didn't. But what's also so weird

507
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: is you guys know, is that then all of a sudden,

508
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: they're a game when it all kind of clicks and

509
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, maybe they're onto something, and then the

510
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: next game comes along and you're like, oh, nope, nope,

511
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't onto something, and so I I

512
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. The Colts despite their struggles

513
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: of late, I guess all season long. Really you think about,

514
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: my goodness, the win over Kansas City, it feels like

515
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: it was a lifetime away. And then they, you know,

516
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: had it so close until under two minutes to go

517
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. You gave yourself an opportunity until the fourth

518
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: quarter against Dallas. But the Colts are they still have

519
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: a chance, a very outside looking in chance of getting

520
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: into the postseason because the AFC South is one of

521
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: the weakest divisions in football. When you look at how

522
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: things have shaken out. Tennessee certainly does not look like

523
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: the Titans of the past, and they've endured their own

524
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: turmoil this season. But with Tennessee, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and Houston

525
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: among the division, who is the most promising moving into

526
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: the final quarter of this season that has an opportunity

527
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: to show what they're made of in this final month

528
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: of the regular season and then also kind of declare

529
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: themselves a contender. As we start to already turn the

530
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: page and look ahead to twenty twenty three. I feel

531
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: like I have the most optimism right now for Jacksonville.

532
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: I that I like it interesting. Is that shocking? I'm

533
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: surprised a little bit about the shock that attached to

534
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: that reaction. Well, just I mean just because record wise,

535
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: we're just so used to top ten picks and top

536
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: five picks, and I mean they've certainly got head coach

537
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: figured out in quarterback figured out. Everything else is sort

538
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: of gray vy on those potatoes. Yeah, And I think

539
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: that's part of it. Like if you look at the

540
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: play of Trevor Lawrence and the last month and a half,

541
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: so the game against Detroit was not good for Jacksonville

542
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: at all. I think that we're continuing to talk about

543
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Detroit in a way that might be off nationally. I

544
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: think that if you look at like the deeper metrics

545
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: on Detroit, what you'll find is that in terms of

546
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: DVOA or expected points added, things that really dive down

547
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: into what individual teams and players are doing on individual situations,

548
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: what they should be expected to, and what they're doing,

549
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: You'll find that Detroit since Week nine has actually started

550
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: playing pretty well on the defensive side of the ball too.

551
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: It's not just on the offensive side of the ball.

552
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: So the offense for the Lions is number five expected

553
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: points added per play in that time, number one in

554
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: drop back EPA, but the defense is the sixteenth best

555
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: EPA per play. Since Week nine, they were dead left

556
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: like obviously the worst we've swung through eight. So I

557
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: think that, you know, obviously, if the Jacksonville Jaguars are

558
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: a good team, then you want to overcome that. But

559
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: I think that looking at them and saying, oh, they've

560
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: laid an egg against Detroit, they couldn't even get done

561
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: against Detroit, I think that we need to kind of

562
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: pivot our narrative with Detroit a little bit and catch

563
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: up to the fact that they're actually playing much better

564
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball they're in Detroit. So

565
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: that said, I think the fact that we've seen we've

566
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: seen more of like the highlight version of Trevor Lawrence

567
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,239
Speaker 1: that we expected to see in the back half of

568
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: the season this year. I think that he's playing much better.

569
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I think that they have some pieces that makes sense

570
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: to build off of offensively, and I think that they're

571
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: they're a team that I feel like has the best

572
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Tennessee. Look, they are what they

573
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: are right like, they're Derrick Henry on offense. They don't

574
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: have any kind of passing game attached to them. And

575
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: I think that Jacksonville is the team that really has

576
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: the best shot in the division if they were to

577
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: eke out. And I haven't pulled up the schedules for

578
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: all of the teams in the AFCY South to see

579
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: who they really have to play down the stretch and

580
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: how realistic it is so they could potentially overcome Tennessee.

581
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: But I think that they are a team to point

582
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: to in the AFC South that says, Okay, this is

583
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: the one that's headed in the right direction going into

584
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: next season. And then also I think if they were

585
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: to make it to the postseason somehow, they're the team

586
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: that would have the best shot at knocking someone off.

587
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: And also not for nothing, but like you know, net

588
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: points on the season, they're at zero, which is growth,

589
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: but also it's the best in the Apecy South. Everybody

590
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: else's net negative. Yeah, So you got Cowboys at home

591
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys this Sunday, at the Jets, Texans on

592
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: January first, and then closing out the season against the

593
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: Titans on January eighth. So there you go. That's the

594
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: look at the final four for the Jaguars as we

595
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: look ahead to this Saturday for the Colts. The Vikings

596
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: are up next. Lindsay, this is a simple question, but

597
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: a loaded question. Are the Are the Vikings good? I

598
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: mean they're they're ten and three, but but nine one

599
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: score wins? What do you make of them? Are are

600
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: they any good? Are they just kind of you know,

601
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: a mirage to this point? Yeah, somebody I was talking

602
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: to somebody this past week and they said that they

603
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: went and looked at one score games and if you

604
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: flipped the result of one score games, because that's obviously

605
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of a volatile thing, it on either way that

606
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: there's a scenario in which they have one win, Yeah,

607
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: they're like one and eleven or something if you flipped it.

608
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: So but I also think again going to things like

609
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: DVOA hetty. I haven't looked at it again since last

610
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: week's or this past weekend's game against the Lions, but

611
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: in terms of DVO eight going into that game, because

612
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: when the line for the Vikings Lions game came out,

613
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: I think everyone was just shocked, right, like, how are

614
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: the Lions favored in this game with five wins going

615
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: up against ten win Vikings squad, like, what is Vegas doing?

616
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I was like, well, they're obviously doing something.

617
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where I came up with the

618
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Lions DVOA stuff and the fact that looking at it,

619
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: the Lions are playing better well. The Vikings are in

620
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 1: like the load of mid twenties in every category in

621
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: terms of DVOA across the board, So there really aren't

622
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: any you know, statistics that would point to get the

623
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: Vikings are just playing really good ball. You have to

624
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: give them credit for winning those games, though there's something

625
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: to be said for that. But if you're trying to

626
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: be predictive and say like is this team really good,

627
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: is this team going to continue this, or is this

628
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: a super volatile thing that we've been looking at to

629
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: this point, I think you have to point a volatility

630
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: on behalf of the Vikings as opposed to just really

631
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: good quality play. And then you look at like the

632
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: quarterback play, like her Cousins is not having a good year,

633
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: but they're winning games, but he's not been particularly good

634
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: and nor particularly consistent. So I would say going into

635
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: this week that the Vikings look like a scary team

636
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: to go up against, particularly for a team that has

637
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: had the lack of success that the Colts have had

638
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: this year. But I think you have to look at

639
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: it as a game that is potentially winnable because they

640
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: just don't think. I don't think that the Vikings are

641
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: as good as their record is, because they certainly have

642
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: the weapons who could just step up and take over

643
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, welcome back, Colts. Happy Hour. The form

00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: most points allowed in franchise history. When was the last

647
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,360

648
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,080

Speaker 1: it's going well. We're super excited to be back in Indianapolis,

677
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: and uh, overall, obviously there's some some place here and

678
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: there that would like to have back, but at the

679
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, I think it's going pretty good. Yeah, alright.

680
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Doubling back to last week, a bye week, how how

681
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: did you spend the bye week kind of a quasi

682
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: week off. I know you don't completely detach, but how

683
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: did you use the week off to your advantage? Just

684
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: sometime do a relax get away, spend time with the family,

685
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: which was really nice, and uh to try to take

686
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: a breath and get ready to come back again for

687
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: the last four games. And you're a family man, right,

688
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: talk it up. You've got a ten month old daughter

689
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: and also one on the way, right, yep, absolutely fantastic

690
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: river and uh one on the way. We're gonna wait

691
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: to see what he or she is, and uh, we're

692
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: very excited. I don't know how people do that, I

693
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: gotta know, but but good for you. That's that's really exciting.

694
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: So in the spring, right, that'll be announced in the

695
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: spring in April. Fantastic all right. Also within this season,

696
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: you are seven for ten over fifty yards. Your seven

697
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: makes in fact over fifty yards this season ties a

698
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: franchise record with Adam vinet Terry. What's your confidence level

699
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: right now would you go out to attempt a fifty

700
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: yard fuel goal? What's that confidence level in yourself to

701
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: go out there and get the job done in that regard? Yeah,

702
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a confidence in myself, But mainly

703
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a confidence, um just in our operation. We've got

704
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: a great snap and hold and Matt and Luke to

705
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: a great job with that. So honestly, going over fifty

706
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: it's to me, it's just like any other kick. You're

707
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: just going out there for one goal, to make the

708
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: kick in whatever way possible. Not like you said, you

709
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: came here in week two, that synergy between snapper and holder,

710
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: Matt Hawk the holder, Luke Rhodes the snapper. How long

711
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: does that take to feel really comfortable and in sync

712
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: with with those two other guys that make that triangle

713
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: if you will want a pat or a fuel goal, Yeah, absolutely,

714
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a big part of it for sure. I'd

715
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: say overall takes a few weeks, but um, they've done

716
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic job here, so even a week one. Felt

717
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: confident going into the into Jacksonville the first week, so

718
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: they did a great job making feel comfortab I've worked

719
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: with Luke before. Is my first time meeting Matt so yeah,

720
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: um felt comfortable, felt super comfortable being back in endy

721
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: two and being in the same place I've kicked before.

722
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: So Chase McLoughlin is with us Colts kicker. I know

723
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: you've probably answered this question before, but whenever I get

724
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to kickers, I always like to

725
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: ask them. For you, what is the definition of a

726
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: perfect hold. It's a different for every guy. That's some

727
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: guys like a little more laying, a little more forward. Honestly,

728
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: a perfect holds one that ends up with a kick

729
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: going in. So you got to do your job right

730
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: to make it a good hold. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I mean,

731
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's it's it's a three man job. Yeah.

732
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: Obviously kickers get a lot of attention on that, but

733
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: we all know that it's it's not just one guy

734
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: that can make or break it. It's it's the whole operation.

735
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Going back to those fifty yard fuel goals, you mean,

736
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of our audience

737
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: will never know the adrenaline or the feeling of hitting

738
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: a big fifty yard fuel goal. What is that like

739
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: when you see the ball go through the uprights when

740
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: you hit it from fifty plus? What goes through your mind? Yeah,

741
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a good feeling. I mean, yeah,

742
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: you kind of just I personally, I take my steps back,

743
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: give my thanks to God, and let it go. And

744
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: the first thing to do is I think, Matt high

745
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: five the guys and yeah, just praise God again after

746
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: that and just yeah, I'd say, any any big kick,

747
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: any kick in the fourth quarter for that matter, and yeah,

748
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: depending on distance, but especially fifty plus in the fourth

749
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: quarter is always a good feeling. And any kick going

750
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: in is a great feeling. The team put some points

751
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: on the board, for sure, no doubt about that. Well,

752
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: what's your approach on a fifty yard fuel goal or

753
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: a long fuel goal compared to a shorter fuel goal.

754
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: Do you have to hit the ball differently or aim

755
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: at the ball differently? Yeah, it's not. It's the same

756
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of repetition, so the same routine for the kick.

757
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: Nothing really changes there. If you get really far back,

758
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: A lot of guys if they're right footed, it'll naturally

759
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: tail a little bit left, so you can aim if

760
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: you're further away a little bit more right to fade

761
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: left on you. But no, basically, just leave everything the same.

762
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: If you if you're over here, if you're thinking you

763
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: need to change something, then then something's wrong. You just

764
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: need to keep it the same. And if you're hitting

765
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: it good from forty five, it'll be good from fifty five.

766
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: That's Chase McLoughlin with US Colts kicker. By the way,

767
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: Chase is the first Colts kicker. I don't know if

768
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: you knew this or not, but you are the first

769
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: Colts kicker to make a fifty yard fuel goal in

770
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: three straight games. I did not know, So, I mean,

771
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: I know for you, you didn't want to see that

772
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: by week. You wanted to keep it going in terms

773
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: of the streak and keep that momentum working. But do

774
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: you have a range before every game? Like, do you

775
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: have a feel before the game where you go to

776
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Bubba or Jeff Saturday and say this is where I

777
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: feel really good today in terms of distance? Yeah, so

778
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: every game, it's obviously depends on the weather. We're a plan.

779
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: If it's inside, it keeps it pretty simple for us.

780
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, we go through our our warm up looking Matt,

781
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: excuse me, and just see where we're feeling good from.

782
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: Um it's different every day. It's surrentum, like I said,

783
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: based on the weather and where we're kicking at right. Um. Yeah,

784
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: we go through each warm up, kicking both directions, feeling

785
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: out when if there is any and get a good

786
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: feel for what the range is Bubbo, talk about it,

787
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: what we feel comfortable at, and we give yeah, the

788
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: range for the day, and then if we got to

789
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: have it right, usually some a Gennal wins pumping if

790
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 1: we got to have it, so we'll add a couple

791
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: more yards. So there you go, There you go. And

792
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated by this because kickers are obviously in

793
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: a different um, I mean, they're one of the most

794
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: important positions on a team, but it's such a unique position.

795
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: There is kicking shape if you will, you know, how

796
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: how do you keep yourself in great conditioning kicking shape?

797
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: If that makes sense? Yeah. A big part of it

798
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: is is kicking is not a natural motion, so right,

799
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: it's not a unilateral motion, and like running or cutting

800
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: or something like that, you're you're planting really hard on

801
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: one foot swinging with the other, so your body, your

802
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 1: hips especially get really out of rhythm. So rusty and Sam,

803
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: they've done a great job here to keep my hips

804
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: in check. It keeps making sure they're at the right

805
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: angles and everything's even. But yeah, it's it's definitely a

806
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: different shape than a wide receiver rapper se because they

807
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: have to do a lot of running, a lot less

808
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: running here. But m yeah, it's just a different type

809
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: of maintenance. You make sure your body's in checking and

810
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: feeling good. See to me, I just heard lots of

811
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: trips to the chiropractor. Like that's what I heard you say.

812
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: Like for me, you know, like if I try to

813
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: do what you do one time, my hips, my back

814
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: would be all out of whack. I'd have to go

815
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,959
Speaker 1: see the chiropractor. Chropractor was my best friend of the season.

816
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: There you go. I like to hear that. And you've

817
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: talked openly about this before. You've had quite the NFL

818
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: journey right since you've broken into the league in twenty nineteen,

819
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: you've been cut eight times in three seasons. Prior to

820
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: coming back to the Colts, you had to stop in

821
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis in twenty nineteen towards the end of that season.

822
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: How hard has that been on you and your family?

823
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: For those that don't really realize the harshness of the

824
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: business of football, how tough is it to move around

825
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: and continue to chase this career. Yeah, it's been a

826
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: it's been a big part of I can't think my

827
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: wife enough for being there, being a great support for me.

828
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, after we were here in Indy, it just

829
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: felt like home to us. My wife's from Chicago, so

830
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: a couple hours away and close to her family, and

831
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: like I said, we just loved love the people here,

832
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: love the area, just loved everything about the city. So

833
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: we decided to plant some roots here. But um, yeah,

834
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean a big part of it is just still

835
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: believing in yourself, like I said, having faith in God

836
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 1: that He's got a plan for you, and just believing

837
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: in that and taking one one step at a time.

838
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: It certainly is a fun, crazy story because, like you said,

839
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: after Indianapolis in twenty nineteen, you had stops in Minnesota, Jacksonville,

840
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: the Jets in Cleveland, and you still made Indianapolis home.

841
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: In fact, during training camp, the culture literally practicing what

842
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: a mile down the road from you in Westfield at

843
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: got Graham Park, and there you are just continuing to

844
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: work and train and wait for your phone to call it,

845
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: for your phone to ring. I should say, yeah, absolutely, Yeah,

846
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: we're like fifteen minutes from Graham Park and it's crazy,

847
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: too much ranting in the off season. And it's a

848
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: great facility and just like like I said, great great

849
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: city that we love being a part of, no question

850
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: about it. Chase McLoughlin is with us. All right, you've

851
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: kicked in Minnesota a couple of times, in fact, each

852
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: of the last two years. How do you like kicking there?

853
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: Where does that rank in terms of setting and an

854
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: optimal kicking venues? Definitely needs stadium obviously, any indoor is

855
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: a great kicking venue. But yeah, they got great fans.

856
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: They bring great energy, a great atmosphere to the game,

857
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's fun to go in there and come

858
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: home with a win. Yeah, you talked about it a a

859
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean every game is different in terms

860
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: of range, But when you're kicking indoors versus outdoors, how

861
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: does that change your approach and what you're factoring in

862
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: with your kicks? I'd say the biggest thing it changes

863
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: is probably just your aiming point. You don't have to

864
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: account for when that day, so basically just see how

865
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: your ball is flying that day and just played off

866
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: of that. Absolutely, Chase McLoughlin with us again. He is

867
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: twenty two for twenty seven this year on fuel goals,

868
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a pat knock on wood. I know you're

869
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: going to continue to knock those down, and seven for

870
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: ten this year over fifty yards, which ties a franchise

871
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: record with Adam Vinatari. Chase, thanks so much for coming

872
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: down today. Appreciate it. Continued success and happy holidays. Absolutely,

873
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: Mary Christmas, and thanks for having me. Chase McLoughlin, the

874
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: place kicker, and Matt Taylor right there on Colt's Happy

875
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: Hour ninety three five one or seven five the fan

876
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: top of the hour. It is the Pacer pregame show

877
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: seven thirty. The dial it up here because you got

878
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: the Pacers and the Cavaliers. Should be a fun one

879
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: tonight because the Cavaliers are straight good. The first year

880
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: of Donovan Mitchell, there a potent lineup. I believe all

881
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: five starters average in double figures and at the top

882
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: of the list Mitchell's nearly thirty a game and Darius

883
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: Garland's over twenty a game right then. And then you

884
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: have Evan Mobiley, a couple of bigs, and Jared Allen

885
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: in the fourteen to fifteen rains. So that is going

886
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: to be a big challenge for the Pacers coming up

887
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: later off the night. All the action right here begins

888
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,279

00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: welcome back. The Chaparral has been a great location for

894
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: the bud Lightblue Friday and hopefully a location weekend come

895
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: back to. You know, it's kind of funny. I was

896
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: just talking to somebody out there and this back in

897
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: the day, this location was one of the Burger chefs

898
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: here in the Indianapolis area. I did not know that

899
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: Emerson and Southeastern is our location today. And I've had

900
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: a blast with people here. I love it. And I

901
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: mentioned this off the air a little bit earlier when

902
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: I was given away Colts tickets. I love because we

903
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: have a great mixture on this show on Butterlight Blue

904
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: Fridays of those that follow us and go to everything,

905
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: and those because we're in their area come out because

906
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: of that and come out for the first time before that.

907
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: And that's why I love seeing the first timers get

908
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: out here and win some tickets. You can say what

909
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: you want about the disappointing season of the Colts, but

910
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: that Monday nighter is still going to be a blast.

911
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's still Monday Night football here, still reason

912
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: to go down there and hang out. Maybe you get

913
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: hit up Bulls Eye as well. Maybe I can next

914
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: week for your Christmas gift, help you hit up Bulls

915
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: Eye if you will. But now, it's always good to

916
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: come out to a new place and see a lot
