00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, where he goes to the garage and gets it

47
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 6: aud like a like a camping chair.

48
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,720

Speaker 1: a lot.

50
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,080

00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,000

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,960

00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: On business or for family? I'm visiting a friend. This

58
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: is what I think of when I see us on

59
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: the couch together. It's like, what if the guy wants

60
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: to lay down to you listen to be in my

61
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: brain for five minutes.

62
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: You guys would be amazed.

63
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 6: I would love to see what would happen if Bill

64
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 6: was laying down and Matt came in. He'd be like,

65
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 6: I guess I'm out.

66
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: No, I would just I would just move a microphone,

67
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: just wake me up. All right, enough enough, We're brought

68
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: to you by Win Las Vegas. We're flying to Vegas.

69
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Bill and I here in the airport. But we've got

70
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: a lot to get into. All right, Here we go, Colts,

71
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: jag you wars. Remember you have to say jack war

72
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: wires because long story short, first year on the job,

73
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: I'm just getting roasted on Twitter, like on the sky and.

74
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, the jack wires.

75
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Okay, the Jaguars coming up on Sunday, round number two.

76
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: They beat the Colts thirty one to twenty one back

77
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: in week number one.

78
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: This is the second straight year. I hate this second

79
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: straight year that this series.

80
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: Between these two teams is over by November, and this

81
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: is going to be the first matchup between these two

82
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: teams where both teams have a winning record going into

83
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: the game since twenty ten. All Right, so the Jaguars

84
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: have been on some hard times, the Colts have been

85
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: on some hard times. Time to kind of flip the script.

86
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: We know about all the losses down there, haven't won

87
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: and you know at Jacksonville as the visiting team since

88
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, So a lot of streaks to be put

89
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: to bed. So a lot to get into here today.

90
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the quarterback situation first and foremost. Fellas,

91
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: we know about Anthony Richardson, we'll double back to that.

92
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: But our guy Minshew, Minshew mania here with the Colts.

93
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: He's going to be, you know, taking the snaps. He's

94
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback for this team for at least the next

95
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: four games. With Anthony Richardson going on, ir, what is

96
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: your confidence level, Bill Brooks and guard Minshew?

97
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: This guy's three to zero already.

98
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: This season, either coming out of the bullpen or starting

99
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: games for the Colts.

100
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: I'm confident in Gardner going out there playing for the

101
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: Coats and actually just running the offense for the Coats.

102
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 7: You know, he's done it before.

103
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: He's coming in relief before this season to with Anthony

104
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 5: unfortunately getting banged up and come in and has done

105
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 5: a nice job won the games they we had there

106
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 5: while he came in, and then also playing in Baltimore,

107
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: starting in Baltimore when Anthony couldn't play, doing a nice

108
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: job running the offense, getting guys into the plays and

109
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: of course checking out plays and thanks of that nature.

110
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: So I'm very confident. He's a guy that has done

111
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 5: it before. He's a guy that's very comfortable out there.

112
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 5: The players are confident in him, confident in him for

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 5: him to go out there. So I'm confident in the

114
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: organization and I should say, the offense going out there,

115
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 5: running the plays and hopefully be successful.

116
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: And this is juicy here.

117
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: We know about Minshew Many and Jacksonville playing the Jaguars

118
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: down there for the time as a starting quarterback against

119
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: his former team.

120
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot there is. There's a lot kind

121
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 6: of behind the scenes about this game. And it's so

122
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 6: funny because we talked to Gardner this week and he's

123
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 6: just kind of like, yeah, I mean, I had some

124
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 6: good times.

125
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: But it's just another game.

126
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: So it's it's so funny kind of the outside noise about,

127
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 6: you know, pumping what this game is.

128
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: But I agree completely with Bill.

129
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 6: I mean, the confidence level that Gardner has in his

130
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 6: play just kind of pours out to everywhere else. And

131
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 6: I think all you heard during the offseason is Gardner

132
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 6: Minshew was essentially like another coach out there. So when

133
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 6: instances like this come up and you know the comfortability

134
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 6: he has inside the Shane Stike in offense, you just

135
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: have no other reason than to be confident because you

136
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 6: heard all of that leading up to it, and then

137
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 6: now you've seen what he's been able to put forward

138
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: on tape that the confidence is there. It's one of

139
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 6: those things where, yeah, the offense is a little different.

140
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 6: There's things that Anthony he can do that Gardner can't do.

141
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: But one of the things about Gardner is he's just

142
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 6: so smart with the football, comfortable and he's comfortable within

143
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 6: the offense, comfortable with all the throws that he can make,

144
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 6: and so the confidence is there.

145
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: For sure, you know.

146
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that I'm really excited about,

147
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: is because I'm not excited, but you feel good when

148
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew goes into the game like there's no scramble,

149
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: there's no panic, there's no panic between himself, the players

150
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: around Minshew in the huddle, the coaching staff, because they've

151
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: all done this before. Stiken with Minchew a couple of times,

152
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: filling in for Jalen Hursts the last couple of years

153
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles. But really, if you go back

154
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: to the offseason, Minschew was here during the offseason workout program.

155
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: I don't want to say during OTAs, but you know

156
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 2: that that playbook install he was here for a month

157
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: before the Colts even drafted Anthony Richardson. So they were

158
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: installing a playbook and a set of plays sort of

159
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: generally speaking for whatever quarterback the Colts were going to

160
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: draft exactly, and Gardner Minshew was the guy that was

161
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: helping the rest of the skill players within this team

162
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: translate the new offense and the new terminology. So it's

163
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: not like the Colts have to just like throw the

164
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: playbook out the window. And then this week, draw up

165
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: something new, they've a They've already done it once already

166
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: this season. And B Gardner Minshew is really comfortable running

167
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: this offense and executing at a very high level, high

168
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: completion percentage, knowing where to go with the football, and

169
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: I think most importantly for both of you, zero yep turnovers,

170
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: no picks from Gardner Minshew knowing where to go with

171
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: the ball.

172
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: That's huge.

173
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, A guy that knows where to go with the ball,

174
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: guy that understands the offense. He knows when the play

175
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 5: comes in from Shane, what Shane is looking for to

176
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: do with that play, where he wants to go with it.

177
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: Maybe he's setting up another play down the road. So

178
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: he understands that. He understands Shane's thinking. He's been with

179
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: Shane for a while, so you understand that. So that's

180
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 5: good for the Coats offense and I think players feel

181
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: comfortable with that knowing that that, Hey, this guy's gonna

182
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: put us in the right positions. He's gonna get the

183
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: ball where he needs to get the ball to and

184
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 5: Shan's going to do the best that he can because

185
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: he knows Gardner streps, he knows Gardner's weaknesses and he's

186
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: gonna put Gardener in a position to hopefully be successful.

187
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: How about this for a level of irony.

188
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: We talk about the streak and all those losses in Jacksonville.

189
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: The Colts are trying to break that with the guy

190
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 2: that gave the Colts to losses.

191
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: And Gardner Minshew.

192
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 6: It's funny you say that, because that's honestly was about

193
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 6: to say about Gardner Minshew is.

194
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: We have seen it from the other side.

195
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty.

196
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 6: We watched Gardner Minshew come in and it was surgical.

197
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: It's surgical.

198
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 6: I mean, there was you know, that whole death by

199
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 6: a thousand cuts Like that is what Gardner Minshew is.

200
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 6: He may not have bomb after bomb after bomb, but

201
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you look down to the stat

202
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 6: sheet and you're like, he completed eighty five percent of

203
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 6: his passes for two forty and two touchdowns.

204
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: We lost.

205
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 6: That is what Gardner Minshew is. And yeah, maybe the

206
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 6: stats when you look at him, it's not leveled out

207
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 6: to what I just said, but he has been everything

208
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 6: that we saw and he has been that for the Colts.

209
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 5: But there's also a possibility that yeah, he can throw

210
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 5: this five yard pass here, ten yard pass here, But

211
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: if he gets to the right person and they break

212
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 5: a tackle, you're just likely to catch and maybe that

213
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: five yard pass turns into a thirty five yard pass

214
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 5: that you know he runs down the field and get

215
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 5: thirty yards.

216
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: After the catch.

217
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's like we said after the Baltimore game, no

218
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: matter what your philosophy is, no matter what style of

219
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: quarterback you are, in every game, you're gonna have to

220
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: make three to four throws to win the game. And

221
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: he did that against the Ravens. He's going to have

222
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: to do that on Sunday. And the good thing is, Bill,

223
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: we know he can't do it exactly.

224
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: You know he can do it, and that's why we

225
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: talked about the confidence. You feel confident that he can

226
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: do it and that, you know what, when it comes

227
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: down to it, he can make those plays. So you

228
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 5: feel confident going out there that, hey, look we have

229
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 5: a chance to win a football game. And that's all

230
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: you want as any player going out there playing game.

231
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 5: Give a a chance. And the players are going out

232
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: there give the team a chance to win football game.

233
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's double back to Anthony Richardson again. We

234
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: know he's on injured reserve that came out this week.

235
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: That means he's gonna miss at least the next four games.

236
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: We don't know if he's gonna have to have surgery,

237
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: We don't know if the injury is gonna linger past

238
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: the minimum requirement of missing time on injured reserve. The

239
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: earliest he can come back is Week ten overseas in

240
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: Germany against the New England Patriots. This news also means

241
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: he will have missed five of the first nine games

242
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: of the season and parts of three others. With all

243
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: these other minor injuries that he has dealt with, the concussion, now,

244
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: the shoulder, we had, the knee back in Week one

245
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bill with that news is sort

246
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: of in the backdrop. How worried are you or are

247
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: you worried about these injuries stunting his growth because of

248
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: the time that he's going to miss this season as

249
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,239
Speaker 2: a rookie.

250
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: I'm concerned, but I'm not overly concerned because from what

251
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 5: I've seen from when he first got here, how he's

252
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 5: developed and how he's grown, I think that he's done

253
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: that tremendously. I mean, he's grown a lot in that

254
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 5: period of time, So I think this time here, yes,

255
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 5: it's going to hurt him a little bit, I believe,

256
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: just not having those reps and experience, because one of

257
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 5: the things I think that might hurt him is he

258
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 5: won't have played another team early. At least he wouldn't

259
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: have played another team twice. So this if you got

260
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 5: a chance to play Jacksonville, he was playing Jacksonville twice

261
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: more unlikely.

262
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 7: They're going to do a couple of things.

263
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 5: Different probably than did the first that he hasn't seen

264
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: react to you exactly. So that's a growth opportunity for

265
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: a young man to have, but he's not going to

266
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 5: have that right away. So I think things like that's

267
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: going to hurt him a little bit, But I think overall,

268
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: I think it's not going to hurt him too much.

269
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: But I would love to have seen him, of course

270
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: play this week.

271
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: No, I agree.

272
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 6: The biggest thing for me is just we knew this

273
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 6: year was about getting the as much experience as he can,

274
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 6: as much reps that he can get, And that's the

275
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 6: biggest thing for me, because I think we'd all agree

276
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: that what we.

277
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: Saw to this point was probably ahead of schedule.

278
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 6: Thought that I thought he played a lot better than

279
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 6: what maybe we had anticipated.

280
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: There there has been no deer in the headline right.

281
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: It hasn't looked too big for him.

282
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 6: And we weren't sure what there was going to be

283
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 6: because you had all the you know, he's only played

284
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 6: thirteen games all of that, so there was that lead

285
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 6: up that you thought it was going to take him

286
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 6: a while to get there, and I think we saw

287
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 6: him kind of get to that step a little quicker

288
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 6: than we wanted. But there's still a lot of growth

289
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 6: to be made because you see it all the times

290
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: the guy has as you mentioned, their first time out,

291
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 6: it's oh wow, I didn't know that this guy could

292
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 6: do that. So you see the changes. So I like

293
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 6: what you said about not being able to see Jacksonville twice.

294
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 6: Those are the things that you wish he would have

295
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: been able to experience. So I think, mainly for me,

296
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: I'm not worried long term about the injuries at this

297
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 6: point because I think all of them were football injuries.

298
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 6: I don't think he was one of those things he

299
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 6: was doing too much with any of these injuries that

300
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 6: it caused it to be here or the way is

301
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 6: style of play. But I just think just from time

302
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 6: on task as Matt likes to use, that's what you're

303
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 6: missing out of that's you, that's your.

304
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: And premium players a premium position. Or I could just

305
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: get that tattooed on my forehead. I think we know, man,

306
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, we get it all right.

307
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I don't disagree with you. I guess

308
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm more concerned. I'm not as concerned with the time

309
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: that he's gonna miss, because he has looked good, and

310
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: he has looked ahead of schedule.

311
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: There have been no like, oh my gosh, he's a

312
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: rookie type of moments.

313
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: But what I am concerned is that, hopefully that these

314
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: injuries when we when we look back on the season,

315
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: hopefully what we can say and discern is that, you know,

316
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: these injuries just came on football plays, and you know

317
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: all of them independently of one another, are coincidences, and

318
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: that they just don't take away from his natural abilities

319
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: and your usage of those abilities and the reasons bill

320
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: why you drafted him fourth overall in the first place.

321
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: I think that's what I'm most concerned about. Hopefully these injuries,

322
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Hopefully these injuries don't end up defining him in the

323
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: early part of his career.

324
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

325
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 7: Hopefully it doesn't.

326
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't you want this young man to

327
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: have the opportunity to go out there and play. You

328
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 5: want this young man to go out there, have the

329
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 5: opportunity to develop as a quarterback, knowing the talent that

330
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: he has from a physical standpoint, and knowing that the

331
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: game does not seem too big for him. You want

332
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: the best of this young man because you could see

333
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: that wow, once he gets it and he has all

334
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: the experience that he needs, you see nothing but greatnesside

335
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: of this. It's gonna be great. So you want that

336
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 5: to happen. Of course, we want to happen yesterday, but

337
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 5: it's not gonna happen yesterday. But you know what you

338
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: want to progress and you don't want anything to stunt

339
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: that growth. So hopefully he'll heal, hopefully four weeks and

340
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: he'll be ready to go. But we'll have to wait

341
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: and see.

342
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: Yep, no no doubt about that. By the way, Dio

343
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: at Dangbo is coming up. He's going to join us

344
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: here on the podcast shortly. He's coming off two really

345
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: good games, a career game against the Rams and then

346
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: obviously did the dirty work that really doesn't show up

347
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: in the box score against the Tennessee Titans.

348
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: He's going to join us in just a handful of minutes.

349
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: But before we get to die, I want to talk

350
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: about a good problem to have right now. We talk

351
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: about the quarterback situation in the backfield. Behind those quarterbacks

352
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: in this case Gardner Minshew. Colts have a really good

353
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: problem Zach Moss and now Jonathan Taylor. Taylor getting his

354
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: first you know, extended run in practice this week, going

355
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: through a full week of practice. You know, yesterday Wednesday

356
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: was a full padded practice. That was the first time

357
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: that he had experienced that this year. You know, you

358
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: look at it. Since Week one against the Jacksonville Jaguars,

359
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: the Colts are averaging what is it like, a buck

360
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: forty seven on the ground, which is the sixth best

361
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: rushing attack since the start of week two. Obviously, in

362
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: week one, the Colts didn't have Jonathan Taylor, they didn't

363
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: have Zach Moss. Now they've got both, And what do

364
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: you do with Zach Moss? I mean, how do you know, seriously,

365
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: how do you take this guy off of the field.

366
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: I know, Jonathan Taylor's ramping up here, and Jonathan Taylor's

367
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor. He's in a you know, an elite bucket

368
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: if you will, with only a handful of other players

369
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

370
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Bill and Casey.

371
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: But how do you how do you take Zach Moss

372
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: off the field given his production and just doing everything

373
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: right since the end of last year.

374
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: Right now, right now, of course, you have to leave

375
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 5: him in there to play because you're wrapping up JT.

376
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: But I think it's gonna be one of those things

377
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: as the season goes on, whoever has a hot hand, Yeah, yeah,

378
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: play the hot hand. If Zach Moss has a hot hand, well,

379
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: Zach Moss might get more carries. JT has a hot hand.

380
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 5: J T gets more carries. And I think that is

381
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 5: a good thing to have and to do because if

382
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: you look at it, if you go through the rest

383
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: of the season, it's a long season.

384
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 7: We all know it's a long season.

385
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 5: And if one guy's having a hot hand one week,

386
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 5: next week, maybe another guy's having a hot hand, so

387
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 5: they getting the ball. So you actually other guys getting

388
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: arrest so to speak. You're not using them up throughout

389
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: the season. So by the end of the season, these

390
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 5: guys will have fresh legs and be ready to go.

391
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 5: So whoever has a hot hand at the end of

392
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: the season will be fresh and be able to provide

393
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 5: enough punch in the running game to make some big

394
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 5: yards for the office.

395
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: And Shane steiken said that at the beginning of the season,

396
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: when they didn't have Moss and they didn't have Taylor,

397
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: you know that mix of Dion Jackson and Evan Hole,

398
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: when it was going to be running back by committee.

399
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: That's what Shane Steikin said, is going to be whoever's

400
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: got the hot hand, whoever starts fast, that's who we're

401
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: rolling with. And again, I don't care if it's Jonathan

402
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 2: Taylor or Emmitt Smith or the Gail Sayers.

403
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: I Zach Moss.

404
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: No, Zack Moss deserves to be given the first crack

405
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: at going hot that day.

406
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 6: I love that you said that because that's what he

407
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 6: does deserve. You are a spot on with that, because

408
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 6: he has answered every bell that you have thrown at him.

409
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 6: I mean, Zach Moss has done everything right. And last

410
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 6: week you have all of the buzz with Jonathan Taylor

411
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 6: is back.

412
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: How is Zack Moss.

413
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 6: Going to respond? And he goes out and responds by

414
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 6: running for a Buck sixty and a couple touchdowns, So

415
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 6: I'd say that's a pretty impressive way to respond. I

416
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: don't want to bring up the past, but it's almost

417
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: like we never got to see what that tandem of

418
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 6: Marlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor.

419
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: I thought you were going somewhere else.

420
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: No, but like those two we heard before the season

421
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 6: it was going to be one A, one B. And

422
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 6: I'm not necessarily saying that, you know, Zach Moss is

423
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 6: Marlon Mack because they're different runners.

424
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 3: But I think we've established what Zach Moss.

425
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 6: Can be and you know what Jonathan Taylor can be

426
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 6: as well, and I kind of think that that might

427
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 6: be what you're getting. You're getting a couple guys that

428
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 6: you're not necessarily you're going to be riding the hot hand,

429
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 6: and Jonathan Taylor at the end of the day, Jonathan Taylor,

430
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 6: as you mentioned, he's elite. So when Jonathan Taylor is

431
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 6: back to one hundred percent Jonathan Taylor, there is a

432
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: little something there. But it may be one of those

433
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 6: things to not overlook the fact that maybe three or

434
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 6: four series of a game that Zack Moss is the guy,

435
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 6: and that is something that I don't think you thought

436
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 6: when this trade happened last year. I don't think anybody

437
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 6: thought that was what you're going to see. But Zack

438
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 6: Moss has put his name in that conversation that it's

439
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 6: hard to take him off the field.

440
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 7: Well, whatever they do. To be honest with you, it's

441
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 7: a good problem to hap.

442
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great problem.

443
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: We have two running backs like that in the backfield,

444
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 5: and then hopefully Anthony is healthy and when he gets

445
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 5: back and possibly you know, he can run the ball

446
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: as well. That's a good problem to have in the backfield.

447
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about not averaging ninety nine yards per

448
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: game by Zack Moss. Since the end of last year

449
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 2: and seven games with the Colts, he's averaging almost one

450
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 2: hundred yards.

451
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: He's over one hundred and three of.

452
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: His last five games dating back to Week eighteen of

453
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: last season, he's played at least eighty percent of the

454
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: snaps and each of the last four games he's got

455
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: ninety eight carries in the last month, averaging twenty two

456
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 2: per game. I mean it's working, Yeah, it's working in

457
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: he should be rewarded for that.

458
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 7: I think he has one one hundred eleven yards per game.

459
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, per game.

460
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I mean the guy's playing well.

461
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: And also it all.

462
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 6: Goes back to the offensive line has played so well

463
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 6: that that is another thing that I'm excited for because

464
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 6: this offensive line a couple of years ago. I think

465
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 6: last year we would all agree it was a down year.

466
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 6: We saw that, but when Jonathan Taylor is at his best,

467
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 6: this was the offensive line that was in place for

468
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 6: the most part. So that is one of the things

469
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: that I'm looking forward to, is this offensive line playing

470
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 6: at the level they're playing at. Adding Taylor to that mix,

471
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 6: it's a good problem to have.

472
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: All right.

473
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: Another storyline for this game. On Sunday, we talked about

474
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: the Colts running game. What about the passing defense? All Right,

475
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: the Jaguars boast maybe one of the most diverse passing

476
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: attacks in the NFL with the with the weapons at

477
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: receiver with Zay Jones and Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, They've

478
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: got Evan Ingram, they got etn out of the backfield

479
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: who can catch the ball. The Colts so far this

480
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: year they have allowed four one hundred yard receivers, including

481
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley in game number one. He also scored a

482
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: touchdown against the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, and we

483
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: talked about the newness for the Colts in the backfield

484
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 2: on offense, with the running attack with Taylor and Moss,

485
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: They're going to look different in the secondary this going

486
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: around compared to Week one. Now you've got Juju Brintz

487
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: and now you've got Jalen Jones. You've got two rookies

488
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: trying to slow down that very diverse passing attack for Jacksonville. Casey,

489
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: what is your level of confidence and optimism that the

490
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: big plays that have been a problem.

491
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: So far this year?

492
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: In fact, the Colts have allowed twenty three passes over

493
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: twenty yards, which is dead last in the NFL. How

494
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: can they make sure that Trevor Lawrence doesn't go deep

495
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: on them on Sunday.

496
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.

497
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say it's a concern, but it's definitely something

498
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: that kind of, you know, piques my interest to pay

499
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 6: attention to, because that's the biggest thing is when you

500
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 6: have It's not just the one hundred yard receivers, it's

501
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 6: when they're getting them and how big I mean, like

502
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 6: the moments. I just think back to the most recent

503
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 6: loss against the Rams, the amount of big plays that

504
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: they made were just.

505
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: It was Nikua's catch to set up Yes, that first

506
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: completion and overtime, it just changed everything.

507
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: When the plays are happening.

508
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 6: So it's almost one of those things where Calvin Ridley

509
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 6: is an elite player he's going to get Like last week,

510
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 6: DeAndre Hopkins had a great game, but I think you

511
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 6: were able to limit in other areas so that that

512
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: one thing didn't just blow everything else open. We talked

513
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 6: about the Rams game. I mean also their running game

514
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 6: was so dynamic and made everything you know over the top.

515
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: So I think that is what you have to do.

516
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 6: You talked about Travis etn he is a great player.

517
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 6: You've got to be able to if it's if it's

518
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 6: limiting that way, when those big plays do happen, it

519
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 6: doesn't cripple you. That's the biggest thing for me is

520
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 6: you've got to make them. I don't know what the

521
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 6: best way to do it is, but you've got to

522
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 6: make sure that Trevor Lawrence is it's either their running

523
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 6: game that is doing the bulk or their passing game.

524
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 6: You can't have them both. And I think that is

525
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 6: the real question. It is upfront is going to be

526
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 6: huge in this game. The defensive line is going to

527
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 6: set the tone because if you're limiting their rush game,

528
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 6: I think it gives the guys on the back end

529
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 6: a little bit less time that they're all of that plays.

530
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 6: So I think, yes, the secondary, it's different. It's going

531
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 6: to give you a little bit of a pause just

532
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 6: because you aren't exactly sure how it's going to match up.

533
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 6: But it just all goes back to that defensive front

534
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 6: being so important this week.

535
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you alas it's gone with the

536
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: defensive front that the defensive front's going to have to

537
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 5: play big this week. They're going to have to not

538
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 5: only just get pressure on Trevor Lawrence hopefully just rupt

539
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 5: the passing game, but also as well as you slow

540
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 5: down that running game. But I think we all thought

541
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 5: that going into this year that this was going to

542
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 5: be a work in private with one secondary with the

543
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 5: young dbs stuff like that. Of course, wasn't kind of

544
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 5: anyone getting injured with Dallas Flowers getting injured. But now

545
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 5: Juju Brants and Jalen Jones.

546
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 7: Been back there.

547
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 5: Those guys, you know they're going to have to step

548
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: up and make plays. Now, is it going to be

549
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 5: a lying experience for those guys. Yes, it will be

550
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: because they didn't play against Jacksonville the first week, so

551
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 5: it's going to be a larning experience for those guys.

552
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 5: But I think a big key to me is those

553
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 5: guys up front putting pressure on Trevor Lawrence and also

554
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 5: also making Travis nt and earn those yards and running

555
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 5: the ball. Then also putting them behind the change, behind

556
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 5: the sticks, put them third and long, you know, make

557
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: it where you know they're passing the ball. So there's

558
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 5: some things that you can do to help those young

559
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: guys in the back.

560
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence really good throwing the ball down the field,

561
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: high completion percentage, pushing the ball down the field, a

562
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: pass rating of one thirty seven point nine on deep

563
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: balls this season. Those are balls that travel at least

564
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: twenty yards down the field. That's the highest in the NFL.

565
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: And against the Colts, I'm.

566
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: Tired of it, all right.

567
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: I'm tired of Trevor Lawrence completing for his career against

568
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: the Colts seventy one percent of his passes. He's gone

569
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: over seventy percent completion percentage in four of five career

570
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: games against the Colts, and he was at a career

571
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 2: high ninety percent against the Colts in Week six of

572
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: last season.

573
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: Now, the Colts won that game, but Trevor Lawrence.

574
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 7: Wasn't the reason they lost.

575
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: He saves his best for the Colts and they got

576
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: to do something about that. So, Trevor Lawrence, you cannot

577
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 2: have a big game if the Colts pass rush to

578
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: your point.

579
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: Does their job?

580
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: Make him hitch a little bit, make him pause, make

581
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: sure that delivery has slowed down just a little bit.

582
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: That's where the pass rush comes into play. Dioa Dangbo

583
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: is part of that, and he joined myself in Bill

584
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: Brooks earlier today on the Official Colts Podcast as promised,

585
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: joining us now in studio number fifty four for your

586
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts us at the defensive end position. We're talking

587
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: about Dio a dang Bo here in studio today.

588
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,640

589
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: Man?

00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: How are you? Thanks for the time?

591
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 4: No, thank you, It was great to be here.

592
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely. How are you feeling?

593
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: How was the team feeling coming off that monster victory

594
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

595
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 8: Man, We're feeling great, you know, playing with a lot

596
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 8: of confidence, playing hard, playing physical, and you know, we're

597
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 8: excited for the opportunity this week. We got a great

598
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 8: opportunity against another divisional opponent, and we want to go

599
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 8: down there and bring the physicality down there.

600
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

601
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean it looks like you're not even taking any

602
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: time off. You're fresh off the walkthrough. I know you

603
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: got a little sweat brow working right. I know you

604
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: got a little perspiration. The cleats are still.

605
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: You can appreciate that. Ready got straight from work onto

606
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: the podcast.

607
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: Man.

608
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: That's dedication, sir. It's good stuff right there.

609
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

610
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: Now, Matt talked about the defense came a big last week,

611
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 5: and last week there was a big play on fourth

612
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: and one. The defense went made a big stop. You

613
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: were out there on that play. Tell us what you

614
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: saw in that play?

615
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we're in our kind of our heavy front,

616
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 8: kind of our goal line front. I'm out here on

617
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 8: the tight end and a nine technique, and you know,

618
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 8: my job's just to set the edge, close that D

619
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 8: gap or sea gap as much as I can and

620
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 8: boss naps. I strike the tight end, set the edge,

621
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 8: peaking my eyes outside to just you know, show color

622
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 8: and make sure he doesn't try to bounce outside and

623
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 8: see him cut up and I just hear a loud bang.

624
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 8: He's on the ground and Z's jumping around celebrating. So yeah,

625
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 8: it was a great feeling just to know that we're

626
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 8: getting off the field and you know, giving ourselves a

627
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 8: chance to win.

628
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: You know, watching films so far this year, I watch

629
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: yourself and Samson Abacom and Quitty Pay.

630
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: You guys have to deal with so much.

631
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: You have to read and react and process so much

632
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: and such a short amount of time.

633
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, looking at.

634
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: A play, you know, a toss sweep if you will,

635
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: to Derrick Henry, you're the defensive end, you know, the

636
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: the guard or the tackle over you goes to the

637
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: next level. You're crashing down, you're setting the like you said,

638
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: and here comes like either I think it was like

639
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: a full back or an h back and offset guy

640
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: in the backfield just coming in and cutting you.

641
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: That has to suck. I mean, I mean you have to.

642
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right there to make a play and

643
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 2: then a guy just takes your knees out. But that's

644
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: that's necessary for you to be able to do that

645
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: and be in that right position for the linebackers to

646
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: make place right. That's that's a lot of dirty work

647
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: that a lot of people don't really appreciate or notice.

648
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, there's a lot of you know work that

649
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 8: goes on praised. You know, in D line sometimes you're

650
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 8: just taking on double teams. It might look like you're

651
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 8: blocked in, but another guy running free.

652
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: And you did your job on that play and you're

653
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: doing your.

654
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: Job the end of the day, So you know, getting

655
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: cut always sucks.

656
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 5: You play both inside and outside as well. Do you

657
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: prefer one or the other? And if you do, why now?

658
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 8: I like playing both honestly. That's been something I've pretty

659
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 8: much been able to do throughout my career in college

660
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 8: as well, play inside and out. You know, you get

661
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 8: different matchups, you get to see different guys, and you

662
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 8: know a lot of times you get to find the

663
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 8: weekly into the line. So it's fine playing inside it

664
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 8: out and being able to have that versatility and being

665
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 8: able to move around the line.

666
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: And not just anybody can do that. Bill, Yeah, that's

667
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: say for the special people.

668
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 7: Now, well, I was going to ask how difficult is that?

669
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 5: You know, you're at one moment you're inside and all

670
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you know, you go and you're playing outside.

671
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 5: So how difficult is that on defensive line to make

672
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 5: that adjustment during a game.

673
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely during the game as well as just the

674
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 8: preparation leading up to the game. You know, you can't

675
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 8: really just focus on one lineman. You got to, you know,

676
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 8: have the scouting looks on all five linemen. Yeah, there's

677
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 8: definitely some challenges as far as moving in and out

678
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 8: and the speed of the game. Things happen a lot faster.

679
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 8: Inside there's a lot more chaos inside and on the

680
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 8: edge there's a lot more space, and it's just understanding

681
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 8: how to utilize your strengths and your strengths in both situations.

682
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: That's dio edangbo with us.

683
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: So I know every game of the NFL is is

684
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: very very physical, right, That's that's an understatement, but I

685
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: think I think that game last Sunday was ultra physical.

686
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: After a game like that, how do you feel?

687
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean first night, it's not the best, but

688
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 8: you know, you go back to your routine of recovering

689
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 8: whatever that is, ice tubs, you know, getting in the

690
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 8: training room, stretching. Yeah, so you go back in your

691
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 8: routine and you know, you take care of your body

692
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 8: as much as you can. You get ready for practice

693
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 8: on Wednesday.

694
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: How long does it take you, normally throughout the course

695
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: of the week to feel normal or good again for

696
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: the next upcoming game.

697
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, depend on the game. It could be anywhere from

698
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: three days. So right before the game.

699
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: How do you feel now, I'm feeling good?

700
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Good? You're feeling last week?

701
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 8: You know, you know it's still early in the season,

702
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 8: you know, Sure, towards the end of the season, those

703
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 8: days start stacking up. You just got to stay on

704
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: top of it, honestly, staying on top of the recovery

705
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 8: and the stretching and stuff like that.

706
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: Sure.

707
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

708
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: Now you're in your third year here at the ended

709
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: up as Coats and you've grown definitely. What are the

710
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 5: biggest areas where you've grown? Acid hat have grown at

711
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 5: being a player here with the Colts.

712
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 8: I think just my confidence on the field, as far

713
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 8: as knowing what I'm supposed to do, being in the

714
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 8: right place, and all my understanding my ability. I think

715
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 8: that's been able to I've been able to increase my

716
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 8: physicality and my playmaking through just time on the grass

717
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 8: and increase confidence out there.

718
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

719
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: You and I talked in the offseason during the spring,

720
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: and you made a great point. I mean twenty twenty one,

721
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: you come in in the pre draft process, you have

722
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: that injury with the achilles, and it kind of lingers

723
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: into last year. But I mean towards the end of

724
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: last season you were just a beast, you know, I

725
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: think four sacks in the last quarter of the season

726
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: last year. You're continuing that at the early part of

727
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 2: this season. Do you feel like this is the best

728
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: stretch of football you've been able to show since you've

729
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: been with the Colts in the NFL here so far,

730
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: just in terms of health and feeling like you're at

731
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: your best being able to show all that you can do.

732
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I do feel that way.

733
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 8: The goal is always to get better, so you know,

734
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 8: hopefully every you know, kind of quarter of a season

735
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 8: is better than the previous. So that's kind of my

736
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 8: goal is just to continually, you know, increase and build

737
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 8: that one percent every day and just see the results

738
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 8: at the end.

739
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 4: Of the season.

740
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: I'll say, I mean, you go back a couple weeks ago,

741
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Bill Week four, career high seven tackles as a defensive end,

742
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: a tackle for loss, a sack and a half against

743
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: the Rams, a pass defence, a force fumble. I mean,

744
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: the only thing you didn't do that game is like

745
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: cook everybody dinner. I think afterwards, what did that game?

746
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: That was your best game? And you've backed it up

747
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: with some great plays against Tennessee last week as well,

748
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: some stuff that doesn't just show up in the box

749
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: score like we talked about. But what is a stretch

750
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: like the last couple of weeks? What does that do

751
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: for your confidence?

752
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

753
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 8: I mean, like I said, you know, the confidence just

754
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 8: keeps growing. Yeah, with increased production, increased play, it just grows.

755
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 8: And even more so, honestly, it just reinforces what I

756
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 8: know about myself and reinforces my own understanding of what

757
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 8: I can bring to the game and my abilities on

758
00:32:59,680 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 8: the field.

759
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 5: I want to talk about this week's opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

760
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 5: You've played them already once this year. What do you

761
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 5: see in their offense, especially coming up this week against

762
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 5: them down there in Jacksonville.

763
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they have an explosive offense. They have

764
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 8: a lot of playmakers up front, or they have a

765
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 8: lot of playmakers on the team on the offense, you know,

766
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 8: from the running backs to the receivers, and then they

767
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 8: obviously have a great quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. So you know,

768
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 8: we have our work cut out for us, and that's

769
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 8: something we're prepared for and we're excited for for the opportunity.

770
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 8: So just to go out there and play our game,

771
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 8: play physical, play fast, and ball out.

772
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: How tired are you of hearing about this streak of

773
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: not being able to win in Jacksonville?

774
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 8: Man, I don't even think about it, honestly. You know,

775
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 8: any given Sunday, at the end of the day, you

776
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 8: know it's some people call it a curse, you know,

777
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 8: streak or whatever. But at the end of the day,

778
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 8: you know we're looking to end that this week, you know,

779
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 8: with this game, and we're just really just focusing on this,

780
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 8: honing in on this one game.

781
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you right there. That's a great answer. It's

782
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: going to be there until it's not.

783
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: But I love the fact that you just don't dwell

784
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: on it and doesn't consume you. Guys in last year's game,

785
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: the game in twenty fifteen, the game in twenty seventeen,

786
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with this game here in twenty

787
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: twenty three. I want to go back to your defensive coordinator,

788
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: Gus Bradley, Actually, this week I don't know if you

789
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: caught it. He said that they're asking more of you

790
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 2: this season. You are delivering, there's no doubt about that.

791
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 2: But he said that you have an edge about you,

792
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: that you have developed an edge that maybe wasn't there

793
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 2: earlier in your career.

794
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: What do you think he means by that?

795
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, once again, I feel like it just

796
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 8: comes back to that confidence piece. I feel like early

797
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 8: in my career, I was just kind of figuring things out,

798
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 8: trying to figure out where I belong and you know,

799
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 8: what I can do on the field and if I

800
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 8: can do it, you know, coming to the NFL and

801
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 8: then also being an injury, coming off of injury, just

802
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 8: kind of trying to figure out my body again. And

803
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 8: now I feel a lot more confident and that's allowed

804
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 8: me to play more physical, play faster and just at

805
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 8: times dominate the game. So that's something I'm just looking

806
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 8: to find more consistency.

807
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: And in my play. Now.

808
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 7: You talk about gaining more confidence in your play.

809
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 5: Has there been anyone to help you along and your

810
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 5: growth as far as a player on that defensive line,

811
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 5: especially here from the Colts.

812
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we have a great veteran players on

813
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 8: our d line with you know, Buck and Grove and

814
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 8: Samson and then guys you know like Quitty that I

815
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 8: came in with, you know, seeing him grow and them

816
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 8: understanding the position I came from, and you know, helping

817
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 8: me grow as well. And then Coach Ali and Coach

818
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 8: Rates helping me out as well, whether it's in film

819
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 8: or on the field, and just keeping me motivated and

820
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 8: keeping me directed in the right path, on the right path.

821
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: That's Dio dangbo with us.

822
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: And we talked about all the things you have to

823
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: to know and dissect and read and compute, and a

824
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: short amount of time, Travis etn you talked about the

825
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: playmakers that the Jaguars have.

826
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: This dude's fast. He also loves to cut it back.

827
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 2: How aware do you have to be of staying true

828
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: to your you know, discipline If the play is going

829
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: away from you, keep those shoulder square to the line

830
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: of screamage because this dude's gonna cut it back and

831
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: you got to be there to make a play right right.

832
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: You know.

833
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 8: Coach Olie always says backside, the backside wins championships. So oh,

834
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 8: I like that you got straight on the backside because

835
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 8: he's a guy who likes to cut it outside, cut

836
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 8: it back and you know, kind of make make plays

837
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 8: happen with his feet. You got to say disciplined to

838
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 8: your guy, and you got to continue to strain, and

839
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 8: you can't you can't kind of start watching the game.

840
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: You can't ssume anyone, Yeah, for sure, for sure.

841
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 8: So at the end of the day, you want to

842
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 8: keep him bottled up and not let a guy like

843
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 8: that go.

844
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: In no doubt.

845
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 5: Now, last week was a big game at home division opponent.

846
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 5: We all know that you beat the Titans, good game.

847
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: Now you get a go on the road another division opponent.

848
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 5: What's the vibe in the locker room right now? Knowing

849
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 5: how big this game is going down to Jacksonville.

850
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 8: I think there's just a lot of excitement, a lot

851
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 8: of excitement to get to Sunday and be able to

852
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 8: go out there and dominate. You know, at the end

853
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 8: of the day, division games count as too. You know,

854
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 8: those are the games that get you the championships and

855
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 8: get you to the play offs. So we understand the

856
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 8: challenge we have in front of us, and I think

857
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 8: we're extremely ready for the test.

858
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hot, too, It's gonna be smoking.

859
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: Now you're used to that in the SEC here, But

860
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: I mean, do you have to do anything different leading

861
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: up to the game, hydrate or take care of your

862
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: body maybe on a different level this week compared to

863
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: maybe just playing you know, in the in the perfect

864
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: ac if you will, of Lucas Oil Stadium.

865
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jacksonville's got a humid, a humid, uh human stadium

866
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 8: down there.

867
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, they do have a pool though they maybe

868
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: maybe between this first and second quarner to a cannon ball.

869
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, So just I mean, staying on top of your hydration, uh,

870
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 8: focusing on that a little extra this week, understanding the

871
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 8: climate change or what you're going into.

872
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 5: What do you prefer hot? Cold in between uh sixty?

873
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 8: I like playing football in Texas, Yeah, one hundred and

874
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 8: degree weather stuff like that.

875
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: So I'm used to that good. Yeah, humidity not so much.

876
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, but you had it down in Texas. I

877
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 5: mean it was pretty humid.

878
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 4: Dallas, is you so? And so?

879
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 8: Now Houston and Tennessee playing at the SEC, that's where

880
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 8: a lot of the humidity is a lot of the

881
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 8: humidity games.

882
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm going rapid fire to close out.

Speaker 2: You go with that, going rapid fire. Just a couple

884
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,160

Speaker 4: The locker room, Uh, definitely Grove bro.

893
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I've heard that. I've heard he's an instigator too, Like

894
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: he likes to poke the bear.

895
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: He likes to poke the b and he's the guy

896
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: that'll just go there too, Like he doesn't even care.

897
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 8: He doesn't care. He'll get under your skin and you

898
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 8: know he'll let you be mad at him. It's hard

899
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 8: to stay.

900
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Mad at exactly.

901
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, you know, he's

902
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: one of the funniest guys.

903
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, and last one the best sack dance

904
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 2: in the NFL besides your own.

905
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: Who's that like? You know that?

906
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: I admire that guy's production on the field and also

907
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: the celebration after the sack.

908
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, right now, I think Ada Hutchinson has a funny

909
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 8: side dance.

910
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: What does he do? I don't even know if there's

911
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: a little he does.

912
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 8: It's just funny watching it. I don't know if it's

913
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 8: the best sack dance, but it's the funniest one.

914
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 5: All right, fair enough, Well, hopefully I'll have one question

915
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 5: for you. All right, who's the biggest prankster in the

916
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: locker room? Grove is a practice and in.

917
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: Open mic night coming up for Grover Stewart. We'll all

918
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: be there throwing tomatoes at him right there. Well, hopefully

919
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: we see some of those sack dances from Dio Dangbo

920
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: coming up this weekend, getting the face of Trevor Lawrence,

921
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 2: break the streak and another division win man.

922
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time, good.

923
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 4: Luck, Thank you.

924
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 2: Let's see that sack dance coming up on Sunday, Dio

925
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: at Dangbo. Maybe quitt he pays back, Maybe he can

926
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: clear concussion protocol. We'll find out more about that later

927
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: this weekend. Samson, Ebicom, everybody across the board's got to

928
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: do their job against the Jaguars on Sunday for the

929
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 2: Colts to break this eight game losing skid on the

930
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 2: road to the Jaguars. As the visiting team. And with

931
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: that streak, the Colts have been outscored two thirty two

932
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 2: to one oh four. The Colts have lost a turnover

933
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: battle in that time sixteen to four. I mean, football

934
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: is not a hard game to figure out sometimes if

935
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: you don't, if you take care of the ball, you're

936
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 2: gonna have a good chance to win. And the Colts

937
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: have not been doing that against the Jaguars on the road.

938
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: In fact, the Colts have turned it over at least

939
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: twice and Jacksonville and seven of the last eight meetings

940
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: on the road against the Jaguars.

941
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: So here we go.

942
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 2: Time now for our final call as we're back here

943
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 2: again with Bill and Casey. I'm Matt Taylor Casey. Your

944
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: final call on what the Colts must do to win

945
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 2: this game and get rid of this magic that the

946
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: Jags have over the Colts.

947
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: So bind is time of possession.

948
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 6: I think that has been an area we've talked about

949
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 6: all season long. I think if the Colts offensively can

950
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 6: just get ahead of the chains and eat the clock,

951
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 6: let Minshew.

952
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 3: Just be as we talk.

953
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 4: You talked about.

954
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 3: Surgical and methodical and all of that.

955
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 6: If you can let Minshew establish the tempo play the

956
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 6: offense like he and Shane Styken want to play it.

957
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 6: I love the Colts' odds if you can maintain if

958
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 6: you win the time of possession this week. Turnovers are

959
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 6: key too, I mean that's that is the biggest thing.

960
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 6: You talked about, the turnovers. But for me, Colts are

961
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 6: three and zero this year with no turnovers. By the way, yes,

962
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 6: so I am Those are my two big stats. It's

963
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 6: time of possession and turnovers. And I think if you

964
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 6: look at the box score after the game, if the

965
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 6: Colts win time of possession in a turnover battle, I

966
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 6: think the Colts come out on See.

967
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't like how smart you are because that was mine.

968
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 3: That was yours.

969
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I am sorry, I don't like it.

970
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jaguars have the fourth highest time of possession

971
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL this season and normally top is kind

972
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: of it's a misleading stat but I think you're exactly

973
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: right in a game like this. They had the ball

974
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 2: for thirty eight minutes last week and they're winning London

975
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 2: against the Bills thirty eight And they've been over thirty

976
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: two minutes a time of possession and four or five

977
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 2: games and you know, you go back to week one,

978
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: they had fourteen possessions against the Colts in week one.

979
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: That's a lot of lot. That's a lot of possessions.

980
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: I mean, both teams had the ball a lot, but

981
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: I mean I think Casey's right win the turnover battle

982
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: time at possession and Gardner Minshew can just hopefully a

983
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 2: lot of stab, lot of a lot of jabs throughout

984
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: the course of that game, right, Yeah, a lot of

985
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: backbreaking third down conversions for the Colts.

986
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 5: For me, it's gonna be as you said, Casey, turnovers.

987
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 5: Just not turn the ball over and create create some turnovers. Yeah,

988
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 5: get some turnovers yourself. And then after that, for me,

989
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 5: it's red zone. I want to see the Coast convert

990
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 5: in the red zone. There've got many times where they're

991
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 5: gonna need to convert and score some touchdowns in the

992
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 5: red zone because you know what, Jacksonville, they do have

993
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 5: weapons out there.

994
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 7: Give those guys career. They have a lot of weapons

995
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 7: out there.

996
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 5: So we're going to need to convert some of those

997
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 5: red zone trips, hopefully into touchdowns, and then hopefully we

998
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 5: can convert some of those takeaways and the touchdowns as well.

999
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 5: So those are the two for me red zone and turnovers.

1000
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: There you go, Billy, I know you don't and you're

1001
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: not gonna like this here.

1002
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 4: But it's.

1003
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: Here we go kind of a must dub, kind of

1004
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: an MW. Maybe I know it's Week six, but again,

1005
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: the fact that you're not playing the Jaguars for the

1006
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: rest of the season after Sunday three and one. If

1007
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: you get this win, you're three and one in the division.

1008
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: You would split the season series with the Jaguars. You

1009
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: would have the early season tiebreak right on Jacksonville. Given

1010
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: the fact that they would have two division losses, Colts

1011
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: would only have one. But then if the Jaguars get

1012
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: this win, they're in first place in the division. I

1013
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: know there's a long way to go, but they will

1014
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: have swept the Colts. They would hold the tiebreaker. So

1015
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: the same thing kind of works in reverse. Man, this

1016
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 2: is it just feels like a bigger game than most.

1017
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: That's what I thought last week. I thought that next

1018
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: no Bills.

1019
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 6: Like yeah, I thought last week, these next two games

1020
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 6: are going to not necessarily define the year, but they're

1021
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 6: going to be highlighted very very highly.

1022
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: And that's I mean.

1023
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 6: They Colts got they did what they had to do

1024
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 6: last week, got the win at home, they ended all

1025
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 6: the streaks, and I think that's the way it's got

1026
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 6: to continue this week. In the streak that we've I'm

1027
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 6: so tired of saying that it's been two since twenty fourteen,

1028
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 6: the Colts have lost in Jacksonville. Like, I'm ready for

1029
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 6: that to be over and and you you mentioned it

1030
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 6: at the top there. I mean it is when it

1031
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 6: look at the division, this game is huge because it

1032
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 6: does all of that you said. It gives you the

1033
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 6: tie break, and ultimately it means that you cannot finish

1034
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 6: less than five hundred in the division with already having

1035
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 6: three victories this early.

1036
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 3: It is huge. It is huge.

1037
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, monster, monster game.

1038
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 7: It's important.

1039
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: It's important. He won't say. You won't say, just wait

1040
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: for your playing over there all right now.

1041
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 5: It's not to Houston, in my opinions, is not a

1042
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 5: must win, but it's a very important game. It's because

1043
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 5: of division games, a division game, and as you you said,

1044
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 5: all the stats in regards to what our record would

1045
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 5: be in division, what our overall record would be, what

1046
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 5: Jacksonville's record would be, and head to head and all

1047
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 5: those things is very important for the coast, go out

1048
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 5: and play well. And for me, not just that, but

1049
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 5: the backup last week's win.

1050
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: I totally agree, backup last week's you have to have

1051
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 2: the same edge about you exactly.

1052
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: Win backup that.

1053
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 5: Win with a win on the road against a division opponent.

1054
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 5: To me, I think is big.

1055
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 7: So I call this not it must win, but a

1056
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 7: very very important get.

1057
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: Much I can accept. Okay, I'll take you all right,

1058
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: I'll take what we can get right there.
