47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: of camp been like for you? And I guess more specifically,

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: what's something you've been able to do this training camp

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: that like you just were not able to do as

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: a rookie for whatever reason. Because rookie, you're kind of

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: drinking through a fire hose. You're coming off the off

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: season where you're training for the comment all, Like, what's

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: something that maybe you've been able to do this year

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: than you weren't able to do last year?

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: Oh? I say, probably be composed and kind of relax,

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: a little common to chaos. You know. The first time

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: we went around this thing, like everything was like a

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: freight train. It felt like I never stopped, even when

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: I got a chance to go to sleep. It felt

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: like I just hit the ground running every day and

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: you know, I never really got time to like really

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: you know, just just be calm, and you know, so

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: I feel like this go around, you know, things are

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: obviously slowing down a little bit. You know. Second year,

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: I'm just I just really feel a lot more comfortable,

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: to say the least. That's that's that's been the biggest

67
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 3: difference from last year to this year.

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: So like what does that look like then, that you know, calmness,

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: being more comfortable in those like quiet moments. If you

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: were talking about last year, you know, you'd go to

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: sleep and it was still just.

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: Like going, Yeah, a lot of fear of the unknown

73
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: from last year and kind of this year it's just

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: you know, going attacking everything day by day, but more

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: so like meeting by meeting, walked through by walkthrough, practice

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: by practice, trying to just soak up all the information

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: that I can so that when I go out on

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: the field, you know, I'm ready to I'm ready to play,

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: and you know, just just the little things like you know,

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: eating the right things, you know, eating at the right time,

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: you know, just taking care of my body a lot differently.

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: You know now I'm you know, second time around. You know,

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: last year I got the OTAs, then training camp, So

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: that's two times we installed plays. Now we got OTAs

85
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: and training camp again. So now I know what the

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: plays are. Now I'm focused on how am I gonna

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: execute and why I'm doing what I'm doing.

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: So it's not like you know, when the QB calls

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: out to play in the huddle, yeah, are you thinking?

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: Like what are you thinking about now that maybe you

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: weren't able to think about last.

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, Okay, is it? Is it gonna be? Cover one,

93
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: cover three, Cover two, cover four, Cover two? Man Like,

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: now I'm thinking, Okay, how am I gonna execute this?

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: Instead of hold on what do I got? I got

96
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: a hand? Oh? Okay, wait what coverage is it? Then? Boss?

97
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: Now now it's just now you're just playing off for

98
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: sure athleticism and skill.

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Who maybe helped you out or has helped you out

00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: setting where it felt you know, kind of like Friday

142
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: night lights, going out there making those kind of plays.

143

Speaker 1: Like, what did that feel like to you?

144
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it definitely felt good. It's always gonna feel

145
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: good kind of being able to make a play for

146
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: the team. You know, it just it was just fun man,

147
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: just kind of getting a play call and being able

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: to execute the plays and you know, just really just

149
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: trying to earn that trust with the quarterback and the coaches.

150
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: That's really the main thing, and just to go out

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: there and have fun.

152
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: So you had that that deep ball catch that I

153
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: think was for either for a touchdown it was read

154
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: at the goal line. But you also had that toe

155
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: tap on the sideline. If you're thinking about those two plays,

156
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: which is your favorite one of those two? I mean,

157
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: you can watch this on social media too for our

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: listeners and viewers.

159
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: They both will converted, so I can't I can't choose

160
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: both good down converted. Now, if I would have scored

161
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: a touchdown, it would have been a touchdown for both though,

162
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: for sure.

163
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel like camp's going for you this year?

164
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: It's been cool, you know, it's it's it definitely just

165
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: feels better this year versus last year. It definitely just

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: I just feel more comfortable. I'm taking coaching differently, I'm

167
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: listening differently, like you know it, everything just feels different,

168
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: you know, and you know, the quarterbacks helped me out

169
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 3: a lot too as well, so it definitely feels different.

170
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned kind of going through this, you know, kind

171
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: of four times now with the the installs and all that,

172
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: but developing that rapport with Daniel and Anthony, not knowing

173
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: who's gonna be the weak one starter.

174
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Just how has that process been for you?

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: I mean it's been fun, man, just too like because

176
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: them boy has been baling like so it's it's you know,

177
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: it's it's really just not really like a clear answer

178
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: right now. Like and you know, we got we got

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: we got faith in whoever steps in week one to

180
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: lead us to lead us home. So it's been fun.

181
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: You know, you can see you can see the grind

182
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: and you know you can see the dog in they eyes,

183
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: you know, like the fears that they're playing with. And

184
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. It's been fun. Man.

185
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: Do you are you aware of like who's thrown you

186
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: the ball in like practice period to practice period or

187
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: do you are you so focused on like my own

188
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: duties that like if it's seventeen or five, it almost

189
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: just you're like, oh, okay, that's who's thrown it here.

190
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Just you know, either way go

191
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: the only thing I gotta do is catch the ball.

192
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: So catch the ball and just try to be on

193
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 3: the same page as a quarterback. So yeah, yeah, we

194
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: just just go out there, run to play, catch the ball.

195
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: What do you like look at other wide receivers in

196
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: the league or NFL history to kind of like you know,

197
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: in the off season or you got downtime going YouTube

198
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: watch any of these guys. Do you look at any

199
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: of that stuff?

200
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: Oh? For sure, I know. Shane's a huge Keenan Allen guy.

201
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Chargers Yeah yeah yeah.

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: So oh but yeah, so a lot of a lot

203
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: of guys like Keenan Allen, A lot of Davonte Adams,

204
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: Stevie Johnson.

205
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah in two bills, right, yeah.

206
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So really just really just a lot of guys

207
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: who separate the best. And you know, like you look

208
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: at those three receivers like they were never the tallest, fastest, strongest,

209
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: but they knew how to get open.

210
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: So when when you're watching them, like what are you

211
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: looking for?

212
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: Just in terms of like how they get open against

213
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: certain coverages or anything like that.

214
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, like how they how they attack certain leverages. You know,

215
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: you could line up have a guy outside leverage and

216
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: still beat him out. I want to know what he

217
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: did to do that. I want to know how he

218
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: did it. I want to know step by step, millisecond

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: by millisecond as I'm as I'm pressing the little pause

220
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: and play, but like I want to know, I want

221
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: to know what he's like, what he's going through mentally?

222
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: What what does it mean to have your daughter see

223
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: you play in the NFL?

224
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: Everything?

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Man, come on, there we go.

226
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: It means everything. Man. You know, my I was the youngest,

227
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: so you know, I wasn't able to be there with

228
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: my with my parents while they were in their prime,

229
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: and so you know, it definitely feels good to have somebody,

230
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: to have somebody here every step of the way, and

231
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: somebody that I love and chairs forever.

232
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: Coach Toddler race champion Iceland Mitchell over here. It was

233
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: a tight race, tight race when she ran it last year,

234
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: A shot. She ain't really who's going to run the

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: faster forty yard dash at the age of what twenty one?

236
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Because you ran it in like a four to three three.

237
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: But I've now seen your.

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Daughter run a forty yard dash at the age of

239
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: like three.

240
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: Look, man, I love my daughter je Alright.

241
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Alright, all right, we'll call it on that. Added I'm Mitchell,

242
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: coltswide receiver. Thanks for joining us here on the show

243
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: Man Appreciation. All right back here on the Colt Show.

244
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Before I get to the Colt Show mail bag. A

245
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: really good question, by the way, came in in the

246
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 2: YouTube comments from last week's episode with Bernard Ryman. Just

247
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: a couple thoughts and observations I have, and like the

248
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: first one is just straight up like this quarterback competition

249
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: is still too close to call, and whatever happens tonight

250
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, it's just one piece of the evaluation. I

251
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: asked Shane Steichen on Sunday after practice, like how he

252
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: waits games versus joint practices versus regular practices, and he

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: was just like, it's kind of all even everything is

254
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: a value between all those things plus walkthroughs. Meetings like

255
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: the Cults are like minute by minute evaluating Anthony Richardson

256
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones to decide who's going to be their

257
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: starter a month from today, right, I mean, that's crazy

258
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: that the Cult season opens one month from today against

259
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins at Lucas Oil Stadium and everything's being

260
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: evaluated and nothing. It didn't even really sound like Shane

261
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: was more heavily like putting like a significantly more heavyweight

262
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: on the games, where you know, I think sometimes you

263
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: can view these things as like practices are quizzes and

264
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: games are tests. I think it's a little more just

265
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: kind of like everything's a test at this point for

266
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. So we'll see what comes

267
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: out of tonight. We'll have plenty more wrapping up tonight

268
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: on Instant Reaction that'll be out with Bill Brooks and

269
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: Casey Valier on Friday of this week, Friday morning, so

270
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: stay tuned to that. And that's another Indianapolis Colts podcast.

271
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: You can get that one on YouTube and also on

272
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 2: your podcast feeds as well. The weekend before the joint practice,

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: I think there was this maybe perception that like Saturday's

274
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: practice out here where the Colts focused on red zone

275
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: was like bad for both quarterbacks and Daniel Jones threw

276
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: two picks, Anthony Richardson threw a picky at a number

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: of other passes broken up. Not a lot of completions necessarily,

278
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: but there were some good moments in there, like both

279
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: quarterbacks had nice throws for touchdowns. But I just like

280
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: real quick on like the red zone stuff, that area

281
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: is condensed in the field and it's not necessarily an

282
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: area where you're going to see a ton of completions

283
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: in like a training camp setting, because the Colts are

284
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: not doing a lot of their designery stuff down in

285
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: the red zone where you're gonna have Tyler Warren lining

286
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: up all over the field, You're not gonna have some

287
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: of the really interesting zone read type stuff that you're

288
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: gonna get in the regular season with Anthony Richardson or

289
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones whoever's back there. So I'm not like reading

290
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: too much into it when it comes to the results

291
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: of it. What I did like hearing was both from

292
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: Shaneesteke and Jim Bob Cooter that they're like they're teachable

293
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: moments here trying to work through this. I mean, look,

294
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: the Colts do need to be better in the red zone.

295
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: Their twenty second in the league last year in red

296
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: zone offense, so that's got to get better. But it's

297
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: not something I'm like, you know, pulling the alarm over

298
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: right now at this point of training camp. Continue to

299
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: see really good performance from the Colts defense, and specifically

300
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: like the defensive line looks like they're really as sending

301
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Zire Franklin. I'm taping this on Sunday, and Zaire in

302
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: his media session he was just like, you gotta see

303
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: lat too, Like Lat two's getting hot, Like Lat two's

304
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: coming on. That's something like if this defense, which I

305
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: think I maybe one of the biggest stories I've had

306
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: so far in camp, has just been the way that

307
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: the secondary has played, and I know I've talked about

308
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: it on previous podcasts, like this secondary is dialed in.

309
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Even with Juju Brents and Jalen Jones missing some time,

310
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: Trevario's ward has missed a couple practices here and there,

311
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: like that secondary's dialed in cam Binam looks like an

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: absolute like culture changer for the way that this defense

313
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: can play in the back end. Kenny Moore of the

314
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: second is having an awesome training camp justin Wally keeps

315
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: making plays. But like, if that defensive line gets a

316
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: bona fide number one pass rusher, which like Latu lat two,

317
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: still has work to do to get there, right, but

318
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: like if that if he's able to take a step

319
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: toward being that this year, like all of a sudden,

320
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying there's your Trey Hendrickson, because that's who

321
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: lou Anarumo obviously had in Cincinnati, but like, if you

322
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: get like seventy to eighty percent of what Trey Hendrickson

323
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: has been as a pass rusher from Layatu Latu this

324
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: year and you're getting double digit sacks out of number

325
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: ninety seven, that changes the way you can play defense

326
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: up front. And like the other thing I noticed today

327
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: was the Russian cover worked great together. There are a

328
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: couple of plays on Sunday where whether as Daniel Jones

329
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: or Anthony Richardson, they didn't have a guy open kind

330
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: of when they got to the back of their drop

331
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: and then bam, here comes Samson Abacom around the you know,

332
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: hitting the loop around the edge to get a sack,

333
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: quity pay pushing someone in there to get a sack.

334
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner had another really good day. Like that defensive

335
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: line is starting to really come together. And again, just

336
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: for all the attention we keep giving the secondary, that

337
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: d line is still going to be huge in that

338
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: Russian cover working together not something that maybe was a

339
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: part of this defense over the last couple of years,

340
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: it kind of felt like Russian cover we're not always

341
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: working sort of in unison as much as they needed to.

342
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: So far in camp you're seeing that, and that's a

343
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: really encouraging sign. All right, let's get to the Colt

344
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: Show mail Bag. Remember you can submit your questions on

345
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: colts dot com slash mailbag, send them to be on

346
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: social media, or drop them in the YouTube comments of

347
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: this episode. This question comes from the YouTube comments again

348
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: of last week's episode with Bernard Ryman, and it is

349
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: from at dead Man two one one two two outside

350
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: of the players Lou and Shane, So we're saying we're

351
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: not talking about players who're not talking about lou Anarumo

352
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: or Shane Steichen here, which I like the way this

353
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: is phrased with players, but then also your defensive play

354
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: call and your offensive play caller, who on the supportive

355
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 2: staff has started to have a good amount of impact

356
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: on the overall team development. If you can mention one

357
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: for all three sides, offense, defense, and special teams. All right,

358
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: really good question here because I like kind of highlighting

359
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: guys who maybe don't get as much love out there

360
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: as maybe they should. So offense, this one is a

361
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: layup for me. It's offensive line coach Tony Sperano Junior.

362
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: And don't take it from me, take it from the

363
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: bank accounts of Bernard Ryman and Will Fries, two guys

364
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: who he has developed. Like those are the two young

365
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: guys who you know were in starting roles in twenty

366
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: twenty two towards you know, obviously, in the second half

367
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: of that season, Tony Sparano Junior comes in and those

368
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: are the two young guys who he needed to develop.

369
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: He inherited Ryan Kelly, Quinton Nelson, and Braden Smith, three

370
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: guys who are already established veterans. You know, Quintin Nelson

371
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: a pro an all pro Ryan Kelly a pro bowler,

372
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: Braden Smith a really solid right tackle, but he wound

373
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: up developing Bernard Ryman and Will Fries into two rock

374
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: solid players on the offensive line, Ryman at left tackle,

375
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: Fries at right guard. And you know those are guys

376
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: who it's not like those guys had first round pedigree,

377
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: Like those guys had to earn it from the standpoint

378
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: of like Bernard being a third round pick and Will

379
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: Fryes being a seventh round pick. Where you know, those

380
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: guys just the way NFL rosters are built, those guys

381
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: can be replaced. If they aren't up to the level

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: that you need him to, they're not gonna get as

383
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: many chances as a first round pick, is what I'm saying.

384
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: And those guys took Tony Sprano Junior's coaching and they

385
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: ran with it into again being.

386
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: Really good players there.

387
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: So the development of those two guys like that's why

388
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: Tony Spranno is a guy want a highlight here. But

389
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: now he's tasked with developing Ma Gonzalveez as this team's

390
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: right guard this year, and then Tanner Bordolini as this

391
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: team center most likely the track records already there for

392
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: Tony Spranno Junior in the last three years with this

393
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: Colts team. So I have an immense amount of trust

394
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: that he will get Gonzalvez and Bordolini to being good

395
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: NFL starters as a base line for this offensive line.

396
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: I always kind of like to view offensive lines as

397
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: like a week link system. And if he can get

398
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: you know, Bordolini and Gonzalveez just to like a certain level,

399
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: this offensive line is going to be really good. Quinton

400
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: Nelson's still an awesome player. Bernard Ryman, like I mentioned,

401
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: solid NFL left tackle, He's probably like if you look

402
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: at some of the PFF stuff, he's top ten in

403
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: the league at tackle. And then Braiden Smith. You know

404
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: everything we've heard and talked to from Brayden, you know

405
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: he's back. He's fully back. And when Braiden Smith has

406
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: been on the field, he's been a good player, especially

407
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: as a run blocker, that is where he's had a

408
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: lot of success in this league. So feel really good

409
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: about the offensive linel right on defense, a little bit

410
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: tougher here just because we don't know as many of

411
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: these guys. Charlie Partridge is a holdover from last year's

412
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: coaching staff, the defensive line coach, a couple guys in

413
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: assistant roles like Matt Rach, Brent Jackson, Cato June on

414
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: this team. But I want to highlight Chris Hewett, the

415
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: Colts past game coordinator and secondary coach, because he spent

416
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: his entire coaching career in the NFL with the Baltimore

417
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: Ravens and for the last decade he was in roles

418
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: as a secondary coach, DB's pass game coordinator, whatever it

419
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: might be. For three defensive coordinators in Baltimore, all of

420
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: whom play different kind of styles of defense. Dean Pis,

421
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: a very highly respected veteran defensive coordinator in this league,

422
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 2: was the guy he worked under to start. Then it

423
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: was Wink Martindale, who, like, I freaking love Wink Martindale

424
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: the way he just zero blitz, zero blitz, zero blitz

425
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. Loved watching his defenses.

426
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Definitely a different way to play defense, but a guy who, again,

427
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: you're blitz heavy, how does that impact the secondary? And

428
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: then Mike McDonald who's now the head coach of the

429
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks, a guy who's extremely creative and how he

430
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: used his DBS specifically, you had Kyle Hamilton in there

431
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: turn into one of the best safeties in the NFL

432
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: under Mike McDonald, Chris, you would having a hand in

433
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 2: coaching him there. So I'm interested in just how that experience,

434
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: specifically in playing different coverages with different pressure packages, aligns

435
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: with lou Anarumo, who's a very multiple guy as a

436
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, a guy who is going to send more

437
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: simulated pressures than we've seen in the past here, So

438
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, and Chris Ballard said at the NFL combine,

439
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: the Colts felt lucky to be able to get Chris

440
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: Hewett from that Baltimore Ravens staff, So nice addition there.

441
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: And then the last guy here.

442
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a little bit cheating to go with the

443
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: special teams coordinator, but did you know since Brian Mason

444
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: took over as the Colts special teams coordinator in twenty

445
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: twenty three, they are tied for the NFL lead in

446
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: blocked punts.

447
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: They have three.

448
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: Technically they have three, in reality they have four because

449
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 2: one block punt against Tennessee in twenty twenty three, if

450
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: you remember that one that was on where Tennessee's punter

451
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: got significantly injured on the play, but it counted as

452
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: a fumble because I think it was Tony Brown got

453
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: to Ryan stone House so quickly that he didn't even

454
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: get the ball to his foot for it to count

455
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: as a punt. So really I would call it like

456
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: four block punts. And Brian Mason that this dude is

457
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 2: like he's like a mad signist with the way that

458
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: he draws up punt block schemes where he messes with

459
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: opposing teams protections in a way that's really unique and

460
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: really really interesting. The leverage he's able to get his

461
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: guys and to get free runners. I love nothing more

462
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: than watching segu Alubi, who's like one of the fastest

463
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: linebackers in the NFL, come just screaming off the edge unblocked,

464
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 2: and as soon as he see number fifty, no one

465
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: gets their hand on him. But it's like, yeah, that

466
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,480
