Anyways, on this podcast, we're gonna take 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 4: one last look back at that Week one loss to 37 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 4: the Jaguars, answer some key questions from the game, and 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: then look at some additional things we need to know 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: about this team heading into Week two against the Houston Texans. 40 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: So we're gonna start off with segment number one. Is 41 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: this real? So Anthony Richardson completed sixty five percent of 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: his passes in Week one against the Jaguars. This is 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: a guy who you know, coming out of college at Florida. 44 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 4: It was sort of like, does he have the accuracy? 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: His completion percentage was in the fifties. I think if 46 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 4: you talk to some people around the building. Some talent 47 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 4: evaluators they would have told you that was a little 48 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: bit overblown. Yes, yeah, but sixty five percent in his 49 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: NFL debut, that's pretty good, Casey, was that real? 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: You know? I think it is. 51 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: I thought one of the things that impressed me so 52 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: much about Anthony is he took what the defense gave 53 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: him in a way, and I felt like he didn't 54 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: really ever shy away from making just good decisions like that. 55 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: He had the interception, but besides that, that might be 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 3: really the only flaw in the game plan. And if 57 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: that's the if that's the route that you go, Yeah, 58 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: I'm sure there's certain times where you are going to 59 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: see him throw it a little deeper in their accuracy 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: is going to go up and down in certain instances. 61 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: But what you saw, I think on Sunday is sustainable. 62 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: So when I look at you completing sixty five percent 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: of his passes, it was one of those things that 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: watching it, I was like, he kind of looks like 65 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 3: a guy who plays that part, So I wasn't shocked. 66 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: It was one of the things, as you mentioned, it 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: had been a topic of conversation from the moment that 68 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 3: he burst onto the combine scene and all of that. 69 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: But then I also heard a whole bunch of people 70 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 3: during the whole process of if you look at all 71 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: of the throws he made during his poor completion in 72 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two at Florida, there were a lot of 73 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: drop passes, there were a lot of throwaways, So a 74 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: lot of that. 75 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: Is skewing that average. 76 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 3: So I think, maybe not sixty five percent we're going 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: to see all year, but I think flirting around that 78 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: number is something that might be real. 79 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 5: Well, and in completions too, it's like that's something that 80 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 5: gets charged to the quarterback when in reality is not 81 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 5: always his fault. And you look to when I was 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 5: breaking down, you know, the postgame notes, it's like, you know, 83 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 5: most completions by a Colts rookie in his first career 84 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 5: start beating Andrew Luck, like surpassing what Andrew Luck did 85 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 5: first quarterback in a rookie debut to have a rushing 86 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 5: and passing touchdown. I mean, it's there are all these 87 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: factors in there that you feel like give you such 88 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: great optimism, And I think what was fun was to 89 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 5: finally get to see a bit of the dynamic of 90 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 5: what this offense is truly going to be, and you know, 91 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 5: still you had elements that. 92 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: Weren't totally there. 93 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: Of course, you were kind of working through some things 94 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 5: with Evan Hole getting knocked out early on, and you know, 95 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 5: some ball security issues around the offense. So I think 96 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 5: that for the great for the majority of it. This 97 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 5: is something I talked with Shane Steichen about earlier in 98 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 5: the week. Like there you saw a lot of growth 99 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 5: from Anthony Richinson, even just in those four quarters. It 100 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 5: was a small sample size in the preseason, but you know, 101 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 5: you saw glimpses of what was going to be. And 102 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 5: I think in terms of what you expected to see, 103 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 5: this really kind of at least meta exceeded what you 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: were hoping to see out of a rookie quarterback in 105 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 5: that first start, and he's only going to get better. 106 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: Here's why I think it's real. None of us looked 107 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: too big for him, right, And I think we've known 108 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: that about Anthony, you know, getting to know him, getting 109 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: to see him throughout the preseason, that the moment's never 110 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: going to be too big for him. But it is 111 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 4: an NFL regular season game. It's a bigger stage. The 112 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: stakes are much higher than taking the field in Philadelphia 113 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: for a preseason game, and he looked like the same 114 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson. We've got to know here, he's calm, cool. 115 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 4: Collected to me that he had a couple throws in 116 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 4: this game that really kind of made me sit up, 117 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: you know in my seat. The one that I want 118 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 4: to go into is Cults are driving toward the end 119 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: zone and the Jaguars bring Foyer Lucan on a blitz 120 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: and Josh Downs he gets kind of that choice route 121 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 4: against Andre Cisco. The safety Downs goes wide open. Richardson, 122 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: you know, like Stance's ground for as a strike to 123 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: Downs for a big chunk gain and in the face 124 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 4: of a blitz. To me, that was a really good throw. 125 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 4: It was accurate, it was right on time. It gave 126 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 4: Downs a chance to go get some yards after the catch. 127 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: Also rewatching it. I honestly thought Josh Downs is on 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: a linebacker. The way that he got open. I was like, 129 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 4: there's you know, the quickness. I must have been a linebacker. Nope, 130 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: that was the safety. Josh A. Down's a really good 131 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 4: player there. 132 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, his footwork it's top of. 133 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: The line, that's for sure. 134 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 4: But Casey for Anthony, just the glimpses that we saw 135 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 4: and just the mentality that we saw carry over. To me, 136 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 4: it almost wasn't a surprise that he came out and 137 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: he looked as poised as he did in this game. 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 3: That's such a great word, the poise. We have continued 139 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: to see it. I mean, we saw it in the 140 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: joint practices, we saw it in preseason. But as you mentioned, 141 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: you know, the lights come on on the first NFL game, 142 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: it does change things go up a little bit, the 143 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: everything else is kind of heightened. So we weren't entirely 144 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: sure what that was going to be like. But it 145 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: looked like he had played just like every other time 146 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: we had seen him under center. And that's one of 147 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: the things that I've been so impressed to this point. 148 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I've had you know, friends and family asking, 149 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: you know, you're behind you're you're kind of behind the 150 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: closed doors. 151 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: What have you seen? 152 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: And I'm like, he seems like a guy who this 153 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: is where he's supposed to be. And I'm very I've 154 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: been very impressed throughout this entire process. I love hearing 155 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: Rick Van Turrey talk about how typically in his time 156 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: covering the NFL, he doesn't have more affinity of a 157 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: player five weeks after the drafted just because you just 158 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: don't know. But he does with Anthony Richardson because he's 159 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 3: gotten to know and see about it. He's like, he 160 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: gets better every single day. So you're seeing the growth. 161 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: As Learra said, I mean, he continues to get better. 162 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: And yeah, the Colts lost. There are a handful of 163 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: areas where he can improve. But I would think from 164 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: the national perspective, all that I heard anybody talking about 165 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: the Colts is Wow. If you're a Colts fan, you 166 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: should be very excited about what you saw because this 167 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: was the guy that everybody thought. He is so far 168 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 3: away from being the guy that you know his rookie 169 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: and maybe second year is what he needs just to 170 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: figure out if he's there. I think what you saw 171 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: in Week one against a Jacksonville team who we're going 172 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: to talk about this team for the next you know, 173 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: at least a couple of years, is being a favorite 174 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: to win this division, a favorite to represent the AFC 175 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: when you're looking at playoff success. This Jags team is 176 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: going to be a team definitely in the conversation this year. 177 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: So what he did against them, I thought it was very, 178 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: very good to see in Week one. 179 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 5: One quick thing too, thinking back to previous rookies in 180 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 5: prior seasons, when is it typically guys look like rookies 181 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 5: most offense when they get in the end zone and 182 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 5: they're so right, they're like, oh my gosh, what do 183 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 5: I do? I thought I would have a plan for this, right, 184 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 5: And you know they're being mall by their teammates and 185 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: all of that. But you know, that's kind of when 186 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 5: it's almost that deer in headlights moment. Deer in headlight 187 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 5: moment when I watched Anthony that first touchdown that he 188 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 5: had on the day and he comes to silent and 189 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: everyone jumping on him, high five and pannel the back, 190 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: all of that, slapping the helmet. He's obviously thankful and everything, 191 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 5: but he is blining. His eyes are directly toward the 192 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 5: north end of the bench where you know the offensive 193 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 5: line comes off the field. They're gas you know, obviously 194 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 5: it was a good drive that they'd put together. So 195 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 5: they're all down there going to the bench and water 196 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 5: think Anthony goes directly to each and every one of 197 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 5: those guys to thank them, to congratulate them, made sure 198 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 5: no one was left out, And I just thought that 199 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: was such a great indication of just the leadership that 200 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 5: he has already established within this offense too, that that 201 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: was where his priority was. Like, yeah, he had fun 202 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 5: in that moment, but he was like, where are my guys, 203 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 5: Speaking of. 204 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 4: The offensive line, this is the next thing I want 205 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: to talk about. Is this real or not? 206 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: I'm also gonna tempt this game. 207 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 4: Don't don't burn burn your don't burn your mouth. That's 208 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 4: gonna be tough. 209 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're good. 210 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 4: Okay, good, great, that's a that's a relief that now 211 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: we can continue the Pod two. 212 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: We're good. All right. 213 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 4: So the Colts offensive line, according to Pro Football Focus, 214 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 4: did not allow a sack in this game. Anthony Richardson 215 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 4: was sacked four times. To me, two of those are 216 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 4: just trash like he he ran out of bounds short, 217 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: like barely short of the line of scrimmage twice, so 218 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 4: he'd throw those out. The other two came when he 219 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 4: had held the ball for over three and a half seconds. 220 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 4: Usually that is a coverage sack. That's not really on 221 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: the offensive line at that point. Bernard Ryman had a 222 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 4: really good game. He allowed only one pressure in forty 223 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: seven pass blocking snaps per Pro Football Focus, Quentin Nelson 224 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: and Ryan Kelly were the two highest graded offensive linemen 225 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 4: on the Colts in terms of pass protection. Is it 226 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 4: real that this Colts offensive line can continue to protect 227 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 4: as well as they did in Week one? 228 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: I think absolutely it is. I have been I've told 229 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: you guys this, I've told everybody. I've been bullish on 230 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: this offensive line the entire offseason. I thought that they 231 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: had a chip on their shoulder. They all could play 232 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: a lot better than what they put out on the 233 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: field in twenty twenty two. 234 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: And this was, you know, gonna be one of. 235 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: Those years where you see a big bounce back and 236 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: then you know, the entire offseason, one of the big 237 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: story lines is how much Bernard Reiman kind of grew 238 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: into that left tackle body, how much he's really grown 239 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 3: after having you know, the taste of it as a 240 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 3: rookie last year, and what it's going to look like 241 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: this year. 242 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: And I mean, he has looked the part. 243 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: And I think you saw that again on Sunday because 244 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: one of the things about Jacksonville's defense is they've got 245 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 3: some pretty I mean Josh Allen and Tavon Walker, those 246 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: guys are very accomplished in their own right. You know Walker, 247 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: you know he's still trying to get into the the 248 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: what you know with the NFL is but first overall 249 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 3: pick for a reason, Josh Allen is a stud defensive end. 250 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: So some of the guys he's going up against this 251 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: isn't your run of the mill, just average defense. So 252 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: hearing those numbers about Bernard, it just helps solidify everything 253 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: we've talked about to this point. 254 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: But I one think this is real. 255 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: I think this offensive line is taking the strides it 256 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: needs to, and I'm very excited about what they can do. 257 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: I know the running game is an. 258 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: Area that they would all probably like to say we 259 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: need to get better there, but what you saw from 260 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: the way they were able to protect and give Anthony time, 261 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: I think all of that is just going to continue 262 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: to be a positive thing for this offense. 263 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 5: And the depth already got a little bit tested because 264 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 5: there was a period of time. 265 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: When you did not have Quintin Nelson he win. 266 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 5: The locker room early before halftime in that second quarter 267 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 5: being evaluated for a toe injury. He was able to 268 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 5: come back, thankfully, but you early on kind of had 269 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: some of that tested a little bit, and there wasn't 270 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 5: a significant drop off at that period of time. So 271 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 5: that's a huge credit to Tony Sparano Junior and the 272 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: work that he has done preparing that group and molding 273 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 5: that group into, you know, playing back to the caliber 274 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 5: that they expect themselves to be. 275 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 4: All right, last thing, is this real? The Colts went 276 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 4: to a twelve on third down, they were one of 277 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 4: five on fourth down, and they were one of three 278 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 4: in scoring just touchdown or field goal in the red zone. 279 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 4: To me, those those are the three things that kind 280 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 4: of defined why the Colts lost this game in addition 281 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: to then obviously losing the turnover battle. Are these situational 282 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: things that could dog the Colts all season long? I mean, 283 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 4: this is a young team. They have the third youngest 284 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 4: roster in the NFL. You know, that's you know, a 285 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 4: lot's been made about that, the situational execution. That's something 286 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: that obviously Shane Stikeen has said needs to get better. 287 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: But is that something that you think going forward can 288 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: get better with this team? 289 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: I think absolutely. 290 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: I think all I think all of that it comes 291 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 3: into trust and repetition, and with a young team, I 292 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: think that is maybe not to the extent of what 293 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 3: we saw. The struggles on Sunday were but it's kind 294 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: of to be expected. You know, there's going to be 295 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: ups and downs in that. You know, red zone, you know, 296 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: third down, fourth down, all of that. It's going to 297 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: be one of those things you're going to continue to 298 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: see more and more repetition. It's going to be better. 299 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 3: So that is I mean you talk about the NFL. 300 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: I know last year, I think the NFL set a 301 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: record with the average margin was eight points throughout the 302 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 3: entire season, which that just shows you that every game 303 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: it's always going to be close. So that's where when 304 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 3: you look about at the teams that are successful and 305 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: not successful, it comes down to those key stats, third down, 306 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: red zone, all of that stuff. So it's definitely going 307 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: to be an area you're going to emphasize. I don't 308 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: know necessarily when you look at those numbers that that 309 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: is real and that's what it's going to be throughout. 310 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: I think it's a small sample size. It's an area 311 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: that we have seen throughout training camp. OTA's Shane and 312 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: the and the offensive staff. They work hard on those 313 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: situations and we're practicing it at nauseum. So it's going 314 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 3: to be an area we're going to continue to emphasize 315 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: and see them working on here. 316 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: But I don't think. 317 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: Necessarily that is what you look at and say, all right, 318 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: they're going to struggle all year on third down, fourth down, 319 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 3: and then and so I think that is an area 320 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: we're going to see them to continue improve. But I 321 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: will say that that is an area that I'm expecting 322 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: it to be a little slower to getting up to. 323 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: You know, when you look at the leaders of the 324 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: NFL in that category, I. 325 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 5: Do think it's something you have to address and hone 326 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 5: in on sooner rather than later. 327 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's an immediate. 328 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 5: Area of attention that I think that between week one 329 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 5: and week four you have to see significant improvement in 330 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 5: those specific margins because you're establishing a greater identity of 331 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 5: this offense. Shane Steichen is getting more and more comfortable, 332 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 5: you know, in that head coaching role. He's been the 333 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 5: play caller before, so not a ton of difference necessarily there, 334 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 5: but you kind of just have everyone at that point 335 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 5: in time. 336 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: As you get to the end of the quote unquote. 337 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 5: First quarter of the season, you really start to find 338 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 5: tune in some those areas that are going to be 339 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 5: the difference between you know, those that margin that you know, 340 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 5: single score differential between winning and losing. 341 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 4: I mean, a lot of coaches will tell you the 342 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 4: first quarter of the season is kind of an extension 343 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: of the preseason. That's where you form your identity is 344 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: really in those first four games, and yeah, this this 345 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: is something that can't be the colt's identity. And I 346 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: think you know that that's absolutely going to be an 347 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: emphasis in practice, it's going to be an emphasis in 348 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: games to execute in these situations. 349 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: I'm glad you say that because if you look around 350 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: the league at some of the teams that struggled, I mean, 351 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: look at what happened in Cincinnati. That is a team 352 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: that people are picking as a super Bowl. 353 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: It happened, I mean, I mean clearly it was while 354 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: we were playing. 355 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: By the way, did you see Miles Garrett. So he 356 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 4: was told in the off season he can't play basketball anymore. 357 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: So he's like they're just doing like wild stuff with him. 358 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: They have Miles Garrett lined up over the center and 359 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: he's like faking, like he's like Allen Iverson, like crossing 360 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 4: over the center, and then he just goes he roast 361 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 4: the center and sacks Joe Burrow in like a second 362 00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 4: and a half. 363 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Miles Gear He's he's a different He's. 364 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: That Cleveland defense coming in. Here's gonna be a tough 365 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 4: challenge a couple. 366 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: He's tough to answer. 367 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's pretty good, pretty much good defensive player that 368 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: your candidate there. Ah see. I can only think of 369 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: him stepping over Tyron Loo. 370 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 3: All I can think about is practice. I mean, we're 371 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: talking about practice. That's all I could think about with Ai. 372 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: So, but the you do look around the league and 373 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: a lot of teams did struggle we want I mean 374 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: the Giants didn't score a single point. That's a playoff 375 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: team from last year. 376 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: We look at what the Bills did yesterday. 377 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean we talked about the Bills. 378 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 4: I'm actually going to tie in the Bills here in 379 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 4: a little bit, all right.

They're gonna be a team. Here's 429 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 5: one of my things about that team. There was absolutely 430 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 5: like just zero amount of rolling over like it was. 431 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 5: You know, Shane Steikin talks about being relentless, and that 432 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 5: team was relentless, and they fought and they clawed and 433 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 5: they dug and like didn't have enough to ultimately come 434 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 5: away with the win. 435 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 2: But dang, it's a. 436 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 5: Team that you're gonna get behind and that you're excited 437 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 5: to see how much fight that they're gonna put each 438 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 5: and every week. And I do think this is a 439 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 5: team that will surprise people. 440 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that you framed it really well that 441 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 4: just like I left that game with just like really 442 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: good vibes. Yeah, even though it was a loss, and 443 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 4: you're obviously like, ah, you know, wish you could have 444 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: pulled that game out, but like you start thinking about it, 445 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 4: you're like, you know, vibes are pretty good. It's a 446 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 4: rookie quarterback making his first start. You know, well, you 447 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 4: guys are gonna talk about CJ. Stroud quite a bit 448 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 4: on the Thursday episode of this podcast. But he was 449 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 4: sacked five times and he lost fifty eight yards on 450 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: those sacks. Yeah, Bryce Young their offensively managed ten points 451 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: in Carolina and his debut. Rookie quarterbacks are going to 452 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 4: have these. 453 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 3: Houston didn't score a touchdown, right, they didn't score a touchdown, 454 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 3: So I mean rookies are going to have these mistakes. 455 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: And I think you look at what the Colts did. Okay, 456 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: they scored fourteen points on offense. It's not like they 457 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 4: blew anyone out of the water. But if you clean 458 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 4: up some of these issues, it wasn't like it was 459 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 4: three and out, three and out, free and out, three 460 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: and out. It was like you got to some of 461 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: these spots. You've gotten some third and shorts, some fourth 462 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 4: and shorts that you weren't able to convert if you 463 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 4: turn those around. I think you're right, Lara, you can 464 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 4: have some games or you're really going to go surprise 465 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: some people. So let's add a little bit more context 466 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 4: now to a couple of things from week one, and Lara, 467 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 4: I want to start with you on this one. Shaquille 468 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: Leonard being back out there. I don't think it was 469 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: a coincidence that you saw a bunch of players punch 470 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 4: the ball out, even if Shaq wasn't one of those guys. 471 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 4: EJ had to punch out, Zaire had a punch out, 472 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 4: even though he said he was just being an a hole. Uh, 473 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: that's what he told you after the game, which I love. 474 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 4: That's great. Keep doing that, z Yeah. 475 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: Far the reason we love ZYR. 476 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 4: Yes, it's great. Yeah, come on, you know, I think 477 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 4: you saw the the that emphasis on takeaways. Just just 478 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 4: having Shaq out there juices it up in a way 479 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 4: that is kind of hard to explain when he's not 480 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 4: on the field. 481 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 5: And I just noticed in a couple of situations where 482 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 5: like the Julian Blackman near interception, right, remember that play 483 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 5: I was watching, I was kind of keyed in on 484 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 5: Shack and I could see him motioning and Blackman completely reacted. 485 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 5: So what Shaq was signaling to get himself in a 486 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 5: good position. So I think that he was so responsible 487 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: and a lot of situations for getting guys into the 488 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 5: right position to make everyone else have different helps those 489 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: plays and those contributions. 490 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 4: So that play, I went back and watched it, and 491 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 4: it's an RPO and Trevor Lawrence throws it behind. I 492 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 4: think it was Christian Kirk and if he had thrown 493 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 4: it accurately, Shaq's picking that ball off. So just the 494 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 4: presence of Shaquill Leonard where Lawrence is like, this guy's 495 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 4: got arms and size of a Dumbo jet. I can't 496 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: throw it here, yep. And he's like, oh, maybe let's 497 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 4: just throw it behind and kind of, you know, maybe 498 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 4: he should have thrown it lower whatever, but threw it 499 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 4: behind and threw it right to Julian black people. 500 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: And he's one of the ones too. 501 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 5: When Zayre punches the ball out and he's yelling because 502 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 5: he's still pretty far back in pursuit. 503 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: He's yelling at Buck. 504 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 4: Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. 505 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 1: You know. 506 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: It's that it's that captain of the defense that he 507 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: is where it's infectious. 508 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 5: His impact that is out there, like there's an energy 509 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 5: that he brings you, guys, Like I stand at the 510 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 5: end of kind of the tunnel where everybody's running out, 511 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 5: and Shaq came out of the tunnel. 512 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 2: The offense was introt so defense. 513 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 5: Came out first, and I was kind of watching guys 514 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 5: come out and shack. Instead of having his helmet on, 515 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: he's got a hat on backwards as. 516 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: He comes out of the tunnel. 517 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 5: You guys, this smile that was plastered on his face 518 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 5: looking out the running out of tunnel again was just 519 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 5: so significant of oh my gosh, we've gotten here. 520 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: I've fought through so much to be back. 521 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 5: It was just a palpable joy and appreciation that you 522 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: saw from him that carried through the entire rest of 523 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 5: the game. And you know, I'm not sure whether he 524 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 5: was on a pitch count or not, but in situations 525 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 5: when they would bring him off the field, whether it 526 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 5: was just for personnel or you know, play calling situations, 527 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 5: different things. 528 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: Man, he was Matt Yeah, he did not. 529 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 5: He was. He was giving it to him when he 530 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 5: would come off the field and pre you know, I 531 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 5: mean just a couple of moments pregame Richard Smith, linebacker's coach, 532 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 5: just has a moment where he goes up and just 533 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 5: hugs Shack, And it was just that is what he 534 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 5: means to everybody, Like everyone wanted him to know how 535 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 5: happy they were that he was back and how significant 536 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 5: it is that he's back, because the Colts record with 537 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 5: and without Shaquille Letard stands for itself. 538 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: Well. 539 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 3: Last year we saw him on the sidelines getting the 540 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 3: crowd excited. But there's just such a different energy when 541 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 3: he is standing in the middle of the defense asking 542 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: for noise. It almost feels like, I mean, like our 543 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: our plexiglass windows in the radio booth are vibrating with 544 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 3: how loud it was, Like that was the loudest I've 545 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: ever heard Lucas Oil, at least mode that I can 546 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 3: remember hearing Lucas Oil on Sunday and a ten point loss. 547 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: Albeit I mean, I know it was a lot. 548 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: Closer with the outcome, but that was what guys like 549 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 3: Shaquille ter being on the field do for that entire 550 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: fan base, that entire stadium, And that was what it 551 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 3: was for me, was watching him ask for the crowd 552 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: to get loud, like I can only imagine what he 553 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: is feeling because that's what he loves. He is the 554 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 3: energizer for that defense and for him to see the 555 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: entire crowd get behind him and give the defense what 556 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 3: they need. I'm sure those emotions he can probably only 557 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: speak to it for himself, because I'm sure that was 558 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 3: what really got him too. 559 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 5: I'll also say not having Shack Leonard last year for 560 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 5: a significant period of the year, look at how guys 561 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 5: like EJ. Speed and Zire Franklin rose to the occasion. 562 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 5: That is only going to continuously benefit this defense. 563 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: They didn't drop off. 564 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 5: Now having Shack back, Now everyone else has just continued 565 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 5: to rise. Now he's back, and they're going to all 566 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 5: elevate one another. So I think in the long run, 567 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 5: the difficulty and the challenge of not having him last 568 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 5: year and what you missed actually this year could pay 569 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 5: dividends for this defense because now you have a whole 570 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 5: core group of these linebackers who are bonafied playmakers and 571 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 5: bonf I take away guys yea. 572 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: I mean Zire Franklin hold's on pace for three hundred 573 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 3: and six tackles. Yes, for the record, he is an 574 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: absolute beast, and he showed it again on Sunday. I'm 575 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 3: glad you brought him up because he definitely stepped up 576 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: occasion last year. But you talk about that duo being 577 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: out there, good luck to opposing offense because those guys 578 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: are incredible. 579 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 4: Every time EJ. Speed's on the field. Oh he's making plays. 580 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 4: This this is what it was last year and it's 581 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 4: still the case this year. He's a really good player 582 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 4: on that defense. Also, I mean Grover Stewart Intoforest Buckner. 583 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 5: Like, okay, Grover Stewart does not take the double team 584 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 5: on that the play that resulted in a the routine 585 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 5: as a joke stripsack fuck recovery touchdown for defo, Like. 586 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: That totally he took. 587 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 5: It was one of the few occasions that DeForest Buckner 588 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 5: had a one on one matchup. 589 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: He uses the swim move to. 590 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 5: Get around get to Lawrence, and Grove was taken on 591 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 5: the double team that created the opportunity for that. So 592 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 5: as much credit as Dfoe and and zyre get on 593 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 5: that play, Grove gets a little credit. 594 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 4: Well that. Okay, this is where like I feel like 595 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: we have to say this every year. Just turn on 596 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 4: the film and watch Grover Stewart, Oh my yeah, and 597 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 4: tell me, that's not a Pro Bowl player, Like the 598 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 4: stuff that he does to free up to Forrest Buckner. 599 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 4: I was talking to Quitty pay after the game and 600 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 4: he's like, Grove just makes my job easy. Like playing 601 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 4: next to Grove. Could he had ten tackles for a 602 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 4: loss last year? He might get twenty this year just 603 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 4: playing next to Grove like that. He so much respect 604 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 4: for those guys. You can't run the ball against this team, 605 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: you know. I know Travis etm Junior had that big 606 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 4: run at the end of the game, right, Jaguars running 607 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: back still only averaged three point three yards per carry 608 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 4: in this game. It's tough to move the ball against, just. 609 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 5: While we're on the defense, because there should be just 610 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 5: such a spotlight on those guys because there were so 611 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 5: many great things. But have you ever seen a six 612 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 5: foot seven man with the extension. 613 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: To the unreal? 614 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: Excuse me, that was unbelievable. 615 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 3: We kept watching the replay up in the booth and 616 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: I was like, man, how did he do that? 617 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 5: He said it was total instinct, and he knew he 618 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 5: was proably gonna hear it from Shane because he was like, 619 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 5: you know, that's risky to. 620 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 4: Zone the world's dumbest rule. 621 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 5: When your hand is a dinner plate, you're not gonna. 622 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 4: Lose the football. 623 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: Nuff said. 624 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 4: Right there, that's the clip we need to cut when 625 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 4: your hand is a dinner plate. All right, let's get 626 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 4: back into some things that we need some more context for. 627 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 4: So Anthony Richardson didn't really throw the ball downfield a 628 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 4: whole lot. His average depth of target was like six yards. 629 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 4: He checked it down quite a bit. But this is 630 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 4: where I want to bring up the Monday Night game 631 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 4: because I was thinking about this as I was watching 632 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 4: Josh Allen throw deep into two high safeties and getting 633 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: picked off twice. Just check the ball down. Anthony Richardson 634 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: did a good job of saying Jacksonville's taking away Alec 635 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: Pierce downfield. He's taken away Michael Pittman downfield by playing 636 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: those two high safeties and a lot of deep zone 637 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 4: when they were playing Cover three. So he just checked 638 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 4: it down. He took the outlets that were there, and 639 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 4: he didn't force anything really until they got into that 640 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 4: cover two. Look late in the game, where you know 641 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 4: that was a ball that you know, Shane Steikeen said 642 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 4: on Cult to Round Table, Ivey, maybe just check that 643 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 4: down next time. But that's a learning moment for me. 644 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 4: That was really good that Anthony in those moments wasn't 645 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 4: forcing stuff that wasn't there. 646 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 5: That was my whole conversation with someone on Sunday was 647 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 5: so often you have rookies with elite athleticism that are 648 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 5: used to having to do so much and take it 649 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 5: on and play a little bit of hero ball, right, 650 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 5: and often you see themselves putting themselves into situations where 651 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 5: they are trying to do too much. And I think 652 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 5: one of the things that you saw, one of the 653 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 5: great indications about just how good of a quarterback Anthony 654 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: Richardson is and will continue to be, is the fact 655 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 5: that he didn't. 656 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: Try to do too much. 657 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 5: He was looking for the guys around him to make 658 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 5: plays and looking for everyone else, looking for what the 659 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 5: options are. 660 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: Rather than just saying I've got to do it all myself. 661 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 5: And I thought that was a really great indication of 662 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 5: how well he has taken to the wealth of talent 663 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: that he has around him. 664 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: One of the things that I kind of laughed at, 665 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: you know, I look at I'm not very active on 666 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: social media, more of a voyeur. 667 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: I kind of look at the comments. 668 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 3: But youah, right, wow, that we're all to something out 669 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: there easy with that, but you know you don't want 670 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 3: to be known as that ultimately. You know, watching some 671 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 3: of the comments on Twitter, is everybody complained that he 672 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 3: couldn't make those check down intermediate throws. That was where 673 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: he struggles. And then he goes out and does it 674 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: on Sunday and everybody's like, why didn't he throw it deep? 675 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: And I'm like, what do you want from this guy? 676 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: Because you're complaining two weeks ago that he can't make 677 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: those intermediate throws and all of that. And he goes 678 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 3: out and like I said early on, he takes with 679 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: the defense gave him. And I think that is one 680 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: of the things where you talk about his growth. That 681 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 3: is the biggest growth that I think you're going to 682 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: see is when it comes to the football IQ. It 683 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 3: starts to come through on the field when you just say, 684 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: you know, I don't need to force it. I don't 685 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 3: need to do that because getting first downs moving the 686 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: football is how you win in this league, and you 687 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 3: do it by taking what the defense gives you. 688 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: And I think we saw that on Sunday. 689 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you talk about the interception and I'm sure there 690 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: were areas where you could have maybe taken a shot 691 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: here or there, but for the most part, not playing 692 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 3: hero ball like we saw Josh Allen do. Because ultimately, 693 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: if we talk about that Monday night football game, I 694 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: don't think there's any reason the Bills should have even 695 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: it shouldn't even have been a close game with what 696 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 3: the Jets offense was limited to. But because of the 697 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 3: way that Josh Allen played quarterback on Monday Night, that's 698 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 3: why that game was close. And in the NFL, it 699 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: all if it's close, anybody can win, and you saw 700 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 3: that with the Jets, and that's one of the things 701 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: that I was I'm glad you brought that up because 702 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 3: that's literally what I said, is man, Josh Allen, why 703 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: a couple of those throws? 704 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 4: Just why? 705 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 3: And you could have been in the same boat with 706 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: Anthony with the defense that the Jacksonvie was playing. 707 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way Josh Allen earned, Jets safety Jordan 708 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 4: White had a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars performance 709 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 4: bonus in one game. The two hundred and fifty thousand 710 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 4: dollars performance bonus if you got three interceptions in a season. 711 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 4: He had him in one game. Talk about spreading the 712 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: welfare up. 713 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: Wow, help at out his guys there on the other team, Josh. 714 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 4: Last thing to talk about here, I think as we 715 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 4: we talk about Anthony not taking shots downfield when they 716 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 4: weren't there, we have to talk about the run game 717 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 4: where Colts running backs when Anthony Richardson handed the ball off, 718 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 4: I believe gained twenty five yards on I think it 719 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 4: was sixteen carries. That's a number that you're not going 720 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: to win a whole lot of games when that's what 721 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 4: that rushing total from your running backs look like. I 722 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: thought Anthony ran the ball well when he had design runs, 723 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 4: when he had scrambles. You know, ten carries for forty yards, 724 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 4: you know, sounded about right. The run game is something 725 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,719 Speaker 4: that you know is going to need to get better. 726 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 4: But a little bit of context here is the Jaguars 727 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 4: played that five man front that Rick Van Terry talks 728 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 4: all about, you know what's at the double sink and 729 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 4: Dean Jacks, and he had six carries against that that 730 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 4: I looked up on Pro Football Focus. He lost two 731 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 4: yards on those. So we'll see kind of how the 732 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 4: Colts respond to that, maybe getting Zach Moss back this 733 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 4: week that will be that'll make a difference there. You know, 734 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 4: stinks about Evan Hall. Shane Stiken said on Monday he 735 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 4: might miss a little bit of time with a knee injury, 736 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 4: but you know, kind of going forward, that's an area 737 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 4: of this offense in addition to kind of the situational 738 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 4: stuff that the Colts do need to improve on. 739 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 5: I would be excited to see, you know, hopefully this 740 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 5: week against Houston, what Zach Moss is able to do. 741 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 5: Obviously had the you know injury in training camp and 742 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 5: has been progressing back from that, and even when it occurred, 743 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 5: Shane had said there's a pretty good chance he could 744 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 5: be ready pretty early on whether that's week one or 745 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 5: week two. 746 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 2: So you would kind of like to see if. 747 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 5: He can progress into being available for this week and 748 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 5: seeing the type of impact that he can have on 749 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 5: this run game with as well as you do have, 750 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 5: you know, with this offensive line off to a pretty 751 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 5: solid start. 752 00:32:59,200 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: Well. 753 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 3: I think also what we saw in Zack Moss at 754 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 3: the end of last year was very encouraging. 755 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: He was very good and something. 756 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 5: Ragging bodies like I remember being on the sideline and 757 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 5: he would be taking like three and four tacklers with him, 758 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 5: like on carries, now, he's unbelievable. 759 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 4: Those three games he started, he averaged five point yeah, 760 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 4: six yards per carry or something. That's pretty good. 761 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 3: And I think we all agree that before he got 762 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: injured in camp he was having a great camp. It 763 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 3: was one of those things you were looking You're like, man, 764 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 3: this guy. I mean, you're all in context. We all 765 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 3: loved nim Hines. You know, that was the trade that 766 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 3: brought Zack Moss here. We loved what Niam Hines offer 767 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: on the football field. And you weren't entirely sure what 768 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 3: you got in Zack Moss in season trade. You don't, 769 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 3: you know, the evaluation, You don't have that pre notion 770 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 3: of what Zack Moss was, but you kind of got 771 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 3: that as the season progressed. It into camp and you're like, man, 772 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 3: I'm really glad this guy is a part of this 773 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 3: running back room because he's going to be called upon. 774 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 3: So I'm anxious just like you are to get him 775 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 3: back because I think Zack Moss has he's got a 776 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 3: little chip on his shoulder of you know, I was 777 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 3: essentially thrown to the sidelines in Buffalo. 778 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: They didn't want me anymore. 779 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: I've got something to prove, so I'm anxious to see 780 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: him get back on the field for sure. 781 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 4: All right, well, we're gonna We're going to have plenty 782 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 4: more coming this week here on the Colts Audio Network 783 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 4: and on YouTube.
