Speaker 1: Truth of Trash question is follows with the Colts win

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: last night forty five thirty over the New York Jets

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. To get week nine officially underway, here's

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: your truth or Trash question, Jonathan Taylor. We'll see at

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: least twenty touches every week moving forward. Truth or Trash

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: see it? Darryll, Good to see him, man, here's the thing.

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: He had nineteen last night for a buck seventy two.

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: And you saw also Nahemhins get a lot of work.

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Frank Reich is just not going to go twenty plus

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: if ever often. I'm gonna go ahead and trash that

25
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: one up right now. I think nineteen is going to

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: be maybe the high water mark. I mean maybe occasionally

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: over twenty, but I don't think it's gonna be that

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: way very often. Last night, nineteen carries one hundred seventy

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: two rushing yards. That was a season high. Outstanding. Nahimhins

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: was outstanding as well. That's your truth or trash question.

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Here on Colet's Happy Hour, joining us now from Yahoo Sports,

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Eric Dholme covers the NFL for Yahoo. What do you

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: make of Jonathan Taylor? Take Derrick Henry out of the

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: equation because as of right now he's on IR and

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: we'll see if he misses the remainder of the season

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: or not. But take him out of the equation. Is

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor right now the second best running back and

38
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: certainly at the top of the list of offensive weapons

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL as we talk presently? Yeah, you know,

40
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I think you know there's a case for Nick Chubb.

41
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a case for you know, probably the

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: way is Ecoed Elliott's running. I know people might scoff

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: and not our fans of his game, you know, or

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. But I'm a huge Jonathan Taylor fan. I mean,

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: coming out of college, I do a lot of draft stuff.

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, the fumbling was a was a concern. The

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: lack of use as a receiver, the lack of diversity

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: as a receiver is a lot of checkdowns and screens

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. But I mean he's really

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: worked on those issues, I think. And obviously his you know,

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: his game changing speed, his size, his toughness inside. You know,

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I think instincts have improved as well too. Knowing exactly

53
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, when to make cuts and when to hit

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: the hole and when to press that, when to hold

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: all those things I think have developed really nicely. And

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: I you know, the combination of he and Hines have

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: really born some tremendous fruit. Yeah, you think that they

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: should be utilizing him more. He had a nineteen times

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, as we brought you on for one

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two, and Frank has been adamant Frank

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Reich about you know, spreading the ball around, and I

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: think that's what he's going to do, and sometimes it

63
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: feels that way to a detriment. Should he be utilized

64
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: more or is that kind of the right number you

65
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: think for Jonathan Taylor day in and day Yeah, you know, yeah,

66
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: it's a great question, right, I mean you have to consider,

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, how injury prone the backstarre how much you know,

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: you got to look at your data and what you

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: know about the players to figure out, you know, is

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: there a law of diminishing returns that kicks in at

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: some point? Right? I mean we if twenty carries is

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: better than team, that doesn't necessarily mean twenty five is

73
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: better than twenty. And so at some point there is

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: a physical toll. But if you can also exert that

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: physical toll on the opponents, right, they're the ones having

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: to tackle the guy. And you know, I saw Brandon

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Staley and the Chargers coach about a month ago have

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: a great quote on that, and so he's right. You know,

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the run game, while less effective on a play by

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: play bassism than the past, everybody knows that, right, it

81
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: still has a physical effect on the defense that camp

82
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: be denied. You spend you know, four quarters trying to

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: tackle a back like that, whether it's trying to chase

84
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: him down or take him head on in the hole.

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: It's hard. And so yeah, like you know, you look

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: back at Wisconsin, he had plenty of games where he

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: had twenty nine and thirty four. You know, how many

88
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: ever carries a game. You know, he did a time

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: and time again. But you'd like to preserve him too,

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: and you'd like to have him in January if they're

91
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: if they're playing in the playoffs. So Eric Ketholm joins

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: us from Yahoo covers the NFL on Colt's Happy Hour nine, three,

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: five and one, seven five the Fan. You saw what

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: happened last night. I mean, the Colts offensively just eight

95
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: up the Jets, especially with the running game. The Jets

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: had been a top ten run defense up until that point.

97
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: How much of that do you think was Jets and

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive ineptitude last night or the Colts

99
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: just kind of exerting their offensive will and being that good.

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: How do you combo up to two the way you

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: looked at that performance last night, Eric, Yeah, it was

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, probably a combination of the two. I know

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: that's a cop out and saying that, right, but it

104
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: was probably their worst defensive game of the year. Talking

105
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: about the Jets, I mean, you know, they had their

106
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: issues in the past, as you mentioned, statifically, they've been

107
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: pretty good against the run coming in. You know it

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: clearly missing gaps and getting blown off the ball in

109
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of cases was part of it. You know,

110
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: Taylor obviously doing his work and Hines as Wild chipping

111
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: in and you know, I mean we have to we

112
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: have to obviously credit them, but you know, short week

113
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: on the road always going to be tough for a defense.

114
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, they might have been a little bit more

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: banged up than we realize. Things like that. But I

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: don't want to downplay what anytime there's a dominant rushing

117
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: performance like that, I think you start with the offense

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: to kind of work backward. What were they able to

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: do to have that success? And that's that's a good

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: place to start because it just sort of feels like

121
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: that's I don't want to say that's how the team

122
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: was built, but I think there was a lot of

123
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: that in mind when when Chris Faller and his staff

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: built this roster. You know, toughness and strength at the

125
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: point of attack, and you know, being able to run

126
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: the ball when they want to run the ball and

127
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: kind of set the tone in that matter. So I

128
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: definitely want to make sure to give them the proper

129
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: credit for being able to do that and having that

130
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of a roster. All right, Eric, last big cushon Wentz.

131
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: Really he struggled throughout the game and that's why it

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: was a head scratcher as to why he ended up

133
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: throwing it fifty one times and then overtime laws to Tennessee.

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: But it was evident late in the game he had

135
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: that near the goal line situation that was Benny hill

136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: Yakeney Sacks type of sketch. And then you know the

137
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: overtime pick I thought was the most egregious of all,

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: where you know, all he had to do was work

139
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: your way to get a field goal and you didn't

140
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: have to rush, you didn't have to force it as

141
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: he did. But overall, including the game last night, would

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: have been your thoughts on the rebirth of sorts that

143
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: has been going on here with Carson Wentz's quarterback, especially

144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: after the end of his career last year in Philly. Yeah,

145
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good way to phrase it.

146
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean it. It was one of those things where

147
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: you could tell a lot of people who were commenting

148
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: on Wentz two three four weeks ago social media or

149
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: people writing stories, you know, the ones who hadn't watched

150
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: him play. We're still kind of stuck in the idea

151
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: that Well went to lose you a game at any point, right,

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: We've seen it in Philadelphia, and that's just who he is. Well.

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Obviously the tennis game gave those folks to Mammo those

154
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: but you know a lot of what led up to that,

155
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: not only in that game itself, but in the games

156
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: prior to that. I thought he looked pretty good. I

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: thought he started getting in a rhythm, started getting some confidence.

158
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: There's always this hold your breath quality with him, where

159
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like the longer he has the

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, the propensity of things going poorly

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: goes up, you know, which you'd probably say for a

162
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks too. So there is still that that

163
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: idea that when he's more efficient, he's getting the ball

164
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: out on time and in rhythm, oh, he can be

165
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: really dangerous. And that's that's an exciting thing that you know,

166
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: they may they may have solved this issue or there's

167
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: still things I think you need to work out with

168
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: him where and get him to play a little bit

169
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: more within the system. Sure, but overall I've been impressed.

170
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: This has been has been a comeback year of source

171
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: for him and he's in a good place. I always

172
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: thought this was the best landing spot for him and

173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: it worked out really well. And you know, with with

174
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: continued time and growth, I think, you know, we can

175
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: get back to considering him as a possible you know,

176
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: top ten or twelve quarterback in this league. At some point,

177
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Eric at home joins us final quick thing with you,

178
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: and you know what transpired, you know, Pat had Um,

179
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on today and what's going down in Green

180
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Bay with him being unavailable, Jordan Love getting the started

181
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: arrowhead against Kansas City coming up on Sunday, And in

182
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: all that was said today, what do you what do

183
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: you make of this? And is this something that once

184
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: he gets back on the field is going to quiet

185
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: down or is this going to trail him for a while?

186
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: You think, well, yeah, I suspect it. It'll it'll be

187
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: stuck with him for a while. You know, there there

188
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: are people who are not going to let this go right.

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, I sort of fall somewhere

190
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: in the middle. Ultimately, it's you know, what happens with

191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: the player on the field and between the lines. But

192
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, there's a lot of

193
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: people who have really strong feelings about this and feel like,

194
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what do you think about the

195
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: vaccine or mandates. I mean, he knew what would happen

196
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: if he tested positive, if he knew the guidelines that

197
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: his union set forth and the NFL agreed to. If

198
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: an on back to day the player is test positive,

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: they have a different set of criteria that that happened

200
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: than one who is vaccinated. Is it fair? I don't know.

201
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: Maybe yes, perhaps no, maybe not. But when you have

202
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: that knowledge and you're the quarterback of the Green Bay

203
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: Packers after everything we went through this offseason, you have

204
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: to be prepared for some pushback on this. I think

205
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: he you know, you're you're living in a little bit

206
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: of your own universe. If you don't think that that

207
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: some of this isn't going to be a little bit

208
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: of fair criticism, all right. One final quick thing. Odell

209
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior Lands where in your opinion, Erica, great question.

210
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought about it a lot. I mean, they're you know,

211
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: on paper, there's a lot of teams that certainly could

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: use the talent. I mean the question I have is, basically,

213
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: if you read between the lines, Cleveland is saying that

214
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: Odell isn't where he needs to be right on the field.

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Mentally in the locker room, he's not doing the things

216
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: that the coaches are asking him to do. And other

217
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: teams are gonna look at that and say, sure, you know,

218
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: he's got all world ability. He was a little banged

219
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: up to the shoulders have been bother him. But really

220
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: it's the dependability factor. How many teams are going to

221
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: be able to comfortable with that New Orleans He's from

222
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: the area, you know, he grew up in the city,

223
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: went to LSU. There was some talk that maybe they'd

224
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: kick the tires on trading form. I would have to

225
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: think they're a real option for him. The Patriots the

226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: Ravens traditionally have been teams that have you know, taken

227
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: some risks like this. You know, could see a player

228
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: that and have strong enough leaders and locker rooms and

229
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: head coaches to where they could probably you know, cut

230
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: baiton and not have their reputations tarnished by it. So

231
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of have to be like a team

232
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: like that or a team that's just thing go for

233
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: broke mode and says, you know, we'll sign for the

234
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: rest of the year if he goes unclaimed, and let's

235
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: just keep our fingers cross and hope for the best

236
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: and hope that he plays with the idea of kind

237
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: of rehabilitating his image a little bit. So Eric at

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the media after last night's win forty five thirty Colts

251
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: over the Jets, and we're discussing that in more. Rickman

252
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: erries on the way too. We're alive from Parks Place Pub.

253
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: We are in Fishers and this is Colts Happy Hour

254
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan,

255
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: A whole hour dedicated to Colts football. This is the

256
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: Colts Happy Hour on ninety three five and one oh

257
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: seven five the Fan. Hey, welcome back, Colts Happy Hour

258
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five The Fan

259
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Trip to trash. More than twenty consistently for Jonathan Taylor,

260
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: the Colts running back touches, Yes, carries, no more than

261
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: twenty touches. I think that is going to be consistent

262
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: in a game. But if you read that as carries,

263
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't think consistently is going to be twenty plus

264
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: carries a game. Now, I think touches is probably pretty fair. Hey,

265
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Colts win four thirty last down on Thursday night football

266
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: to start week number nine. If you missed it, Frank

267
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Reich met with the media after the game, or is

268
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: that after the game or earlier today? Whatever? The case

269
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: explains a lot of what went down, talks about a

270
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of things that would be considered incredibly good from

271
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: a cultural offense last night. That is not necessarily based

272
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: on last night's game. But when you guys made the

273
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: move to go get Carson, that wasn't just a one

274
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: year thing. That was probably going to be a couple

275
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: of years thing. And I know we're nine games in,

276
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: but has everything you've seen embolden your move to go

277
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: get him? And do you feel like moving forward you

278
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: feel even more confident that he's the guy moving forward

279
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: at that position? That really? Do? I mean, I think

280
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: we're making good progress. I think he's making great progress.

281
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: I think he's played a lot of good football. We

282
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: still got to get better, all of us. I think

283
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: if before the year started, if we took a poll

284
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: around you know, NFL media and experts and said, nine

285
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: games into it, Carson's going to have seventeen touchdowns and

286
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: three interceptions? Would you take that and would that be

287
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: a good step in the right direction? Would that? And

288
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: I think we would all say yes. But I think

289
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: more importantly, um, you know how he's done it. You

290
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: know how he's done it. Um, I think there's been

291
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: a lot of good things, and but I can't take

292
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: anything for granted, right, I mean we've left ourselves no

293
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: margin of error, and he's got to continue to get better.

294
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Mike Chapel rank, how you're doing? Uh? How rare is it?

295
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: As as a play caller when you come out of

296
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: a game and you guys always talk balance and whatever,

297
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: But I mean last night was crazy balance, you know,

298
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: thirty thirty and and the But how rare is that?

299
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: And can you remember a time when you've really had

300
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: that ideal balance? Yeah? You know, not off the top

301
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: of my head. I mean the balance is, as we

302
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: all probably know and appreciate, there's a sliding scale to

303
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: me of what that balance means. I think these days,

304
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, balance in the NFL, as far as run

305
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: pass is not necessarily fifty fifty, you know. I think

306
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: in the old days, I think it was fifty fifty.

307
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: I think in in these in these in this brand

308
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: of football, um, I think it's probably more like fifty

309
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: five five sixty forty. I think that's more what balance is.

310
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I think fifty fifty is is. I think fifty fifty

311
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: is run heavy, and I love that. I love games

312
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: that we can do that. Shoot, I hope we have

313
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot of games that we can do that. That'd

314
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: be great. Quick follow up, is there is there an

315
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: update on Brandon? No? Yeah, no update. I haven't talked

316
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: with anybody yet this morning. Thank you. Joel ericson Frank

317
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: with Carson kind of piggybacking out of what you said

318
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: last night, but just how's he doing in terms of

319
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: continuing to understand the offense and know all that stuff

320
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: and be able to make those checks and everything really well? Um.

321
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Is one of the things that I said to Chris

322
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: in the off season. What's one of the things that's

323
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: unique about Carson? You know, he's got this size, strength,

324
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: armed talent, um, this physicality that with the way he plays,

325
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: But yet he's got he really has elite intelligence. He

326
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: has elite intelligence. So, um, what we have to what

327
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: we're always working towards, right what we're all you know,

328
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: intelligence is one thing, but then being a good decision

329
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: maker is another thing. And uh, and I think he's

330
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: grading out very high as a decision maker um. This

331
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: year and throughout much of his career, he creates out

332
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: very high as a decision maker. That's why we went

333
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: after him because I think he's a good decision maker.

334
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: But UM, there's always going to be bumps along the road.

335
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, we're always gonna we're always gonna, you know, play.

336
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: It's a hard position to play. But he's very smart

337
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: and handling the offense extremely well. UM. Really trust him

338
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of it, you know, trust him and

339
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: really want to empower him and UM, but it's always

340
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: a fine line there. We talked about a healthy tension,

341
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: and I do understand, like, even with the guy like

342
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: Carson because he is so aggressive and bold, that part

343
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: of my job and Marcus's job is UM to quote

344
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: unquote Yeah, Okay, we want to give him the keys,

345
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: but there's still boundaries and we still got to set

346
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: boundaries and that's the healthy tension we're always looking for.

347
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: But he's doing a great job. JJ. If Frank having

348
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: coached wide receivers in the past, what what makes a

349
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: good run block for a wide receiver? UM, you know,

350
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: being aggressive, UM, getting the right leverage JJ. I mean

351
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: really it's all about leverage and physicality. So understanding the

352
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: angle that the runners coming do. I need to be

353
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: on the tight like coach grow We'll talk about, Hey,

354
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: we want to be tight inside number, tight outside number,

355
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: head up. If you're going to lose the guy, lose

356
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: them to your outside, lose them to your inside. So

357
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: those are all the little nuances that sometimes a good

358
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: block is, Hey, that's safety's coming down hard and you're

359
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: not going to You're not going to be able to

360
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: get in front of him on his front number. But

361
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: if you can, if he feels your presence, you can

362
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: still influence him. So sometimes a receiver is just influencing

363
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: a defensive back. And as you guys know, our receivers

364
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: take a lot of pride and in that and I think,

365
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to be one of the best

366
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: wide receiving blocking units in the NFL. I really believe that.

367
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: And where does where does Michael Pittman come with that?

368
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: And kind of on top of that, what is it

369
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: set a tone for the entire team that you're you're

370
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: leading wide receiver has that mentality. Yeah, it's a big deal.

371
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: It's not just in the past couple of years. It's

372
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: all been Zach Pascal, you know, it's all been Zack

373
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden when you're number one

374
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: receivers like, oh no, on the way a second, I'm

375
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: just as physical. You know, I think coach grow You'll

376
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: have to ask him sometime. He gives out an award

377
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: each week. I think he calls it the sombrero, you know,

378
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: a big sombrero award or something like that, and I

379
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: think it has to do with their blocking ability, and

380
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: they all want to get They all want to get

381
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: that award every week. They work hard at George Bremer

382
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: shifting him back to Carson for a second. When he

383
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: came in, you guys said, you don't want to make

384
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: him superman. Don't make him do too much. You'll him

385
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: play within the offense was last night. In some way,

386
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of a perfect picture of how you want

387
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: that to look. Yeah, pretty close. I mean, I mean

388
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: he really played like I said last night, I mean

389
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: it was pretty in their flaws performance while you know,

390
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean a really good outing by the offense in general,

391
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: kind of like the week before how I said the

392
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: defense i'd had their best outing of you know what

393
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: I thought was their best outing of the year against

394
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: the Titans, or really stellar outing versus the Titans. It

395
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, this was one of those outings

396
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: for the offense this week, and by a lot of guys,

397
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: but Carson certainly was at the top of that list.

398
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Chapter thank If you look at the progression of the

399
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, I mean, I'm sure it struggled early for

400
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, injuries and Fisher getting back. How

401
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: would you how would you kind of gauge the progress

402
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: and where it's at right it looked like it's making

403
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: life a little bit easier for Jonathan Taylor and even wins.

404
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean last night, I mean, we gave up the

405
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: one sack and it was in the very late and

406
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: very late in the game, and it was a zero

407
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: yard sack where Carson stepped up to run it. You know,

408
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: the week before we threw a fifty one times, gave

409
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: up one sack and then the run blocking. So I

410
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: really think we're getting close to hitting on this all cylinders,

411
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: so to speak. And it's really a credit to the

412
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: offensive line and Strauss and Kevin Y and those guys,

413
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: because I think what it is, Chap is like we've

414
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: really worked hard in practice. Now this last week was

415
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: a walkthrough, but like we really work hard in individual

416
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: period the offensive line, and I feel like we talked

417
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: about that a lot that as the season goes on,

418
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: we don't want to lose the intensity of that individual

419
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: period where we're working on those combination blocks and the

420
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: timing and all those things, and so they deserve a

421
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of credit. But I think we're heading in the

422
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: right Direction's Frank Reich a little bit earlier today. This

423

Speaker 1: is Golds Happy Hour live in Fishers today and we

Speaker 1: career t D in the win over the Jets last night.

429
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: He started his career at ball State being a tied

430
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: end before making that transition to the offensive line. He

431
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: became the sixth lineman in the Colts history to score

432
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: t D. Who was the lineman to catch a t D?

462
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: at home Ross Ad versus Michigan State coming up tomorrow.

463
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: I'll use on the road at the Big House tomorrow

464
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: evening versus the Michigan Wolverines once again. Colts are winner

465
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: last night. Forty five to thirty. Is Dan Mettler right

466
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: there in the house, baby, forty five thirty to get

467
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: Week nine started of the NFL in impressive offensive fashion.

468
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: And for a breakdown, we go to the man, the source,

469
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: actually the men, in this case, the voice of the Colts,

470
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and Rick Venturi with a breakdown a last

471
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: night's game. Matt, all right, thank you, jam V. It's

472
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: time for Insight Football with Rick Venturry, and we're gonna

473
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: talk about the Colts after nine games on both sides

474
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: of the ball, the Colts are four and five, but

475
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: they've won four of their last six games. And we're

476
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna start first on offense, and Rick, the Colts have

477
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: scored at least thirty points in four straight games for

478
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: the first time since twenty ten. The running game has

479
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: really taken shape lately. The Cults are coming off two

480
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: sixty against the Jets, the most by any team in

481
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: the NFL this season. The offensive lines getting healthier, It's

482
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: getting better. Carson Wentz has thrown at least two passing

483
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six straight games. Three of his top four

484
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: passer rating games of his career have come this season,

485
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: including a career high one thirty four against the Jets.

486
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: He's only thrown three picks all year. Jonathan Taylor looks

487
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: like he might be the NFL rushing champ now that

488
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's banged up. Leads the NFL in scrimmage yards

489
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: as well as an eighty three yard run, a seventy

490
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: eight yard run, a seventy six yard catch Naim Hines

491
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: came on against the Jets, and then Michael Pittman Junior

492
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: is emerging as a top receiver in year number two.

493
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: He's on pace for over twelve hundred receiving yards. Rick

494
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: with those are my positives for an offense that again

495
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: appears to be able to keep up with any team

496
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL the rest of the season. Yeah, I

497
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question. I think that this offense

498
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: is basically and there's some things that we have to

499
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: get better at, but it's potentially a deep playoff run offense.

500
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you chronicled a bunch of stats to me,

501
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: scoring number eight total or team time of possession eleven,

502
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: which is your defense best friend. You know, rush number

503
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: two in terms of yards per carry at five one,

504
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: number two in the league. And you know, I think

505
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: the other thing that people are not probably watching too

506
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: closely is that Carson has now moved up near the

507
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: top ten in QBR, which is my big stay. I

508
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: think he's eleven, but he's eleven moving up. So you know,

509
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: when I look at the positives, I think you have

510
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: to look when you look at the overall picture, you

511
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: have to look at Whence is game a week ago

512
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: as an anomaly, the interceptions, I just think that's an anomally. Now,

513
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: I think it's important going forward that we keep him

514
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: in rhythm and that we kind of keep him on

515
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: the reservation so that he doesn't in an attempt to

516
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: make plays that he overdoes that. But I think you're

517
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: talking about one of the top quarterbacks in the league.

518
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: He's going to be in that top ten. Moving up,

519
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: you have a great player in twenty eight, and you

520
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: have a very good player in twenty one. Pittman has

521
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: emerged from schematic guy to a guy that wins one

522
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: on ones. I mean, no question, he wanted on the

523
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: controversial touchdown, which to me wasn't controversial. He took three

524
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: steps with that ball high. Our offensive line just dominated

525
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: last night. I mean it dominated, It pushed the line

526
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. The protection overall, you know, has really been

527
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: pretty good. You know, we're sitting there in the top

528
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: fifteen in sacks given up. So I think those things

529
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: are given you the ability to be really good. You know.

530
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: I think I hope that Frank can keep this identity.

531
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say it right now. One of the

532
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: things that I really like is that having an X

533
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: amount even more than we do X amount of twenty

534
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: eight and twenty one in the game together. I call

535
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: it fast regular and I say that because you have,

536
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, right now, at this point, the best runner

537
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: in the National Football League in twenty eight. You can

538
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: keep a tight end in a game. But what you

539
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: do is, now you add this hybrid number twenty one.

540
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Even you know, Hines and we don't have a great

541
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: receiver corps after Pittman. So it's not like we're giving

542
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: up a lot and you've got a guy you can

543
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: flank like we did last night. We ran him on

544
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: a reverse. You can bring him back into the backfield

545
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: and he can be the runner. I mean, you know,

546
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: you can go wildcat with them. I mean basically, I

547
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: really like that grouping and I would like to see

548
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: us exploited even more. But again, we have major league

549
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: assets at this point. The guys that I mentioned, the

550
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: numbers that I mentioned, adding the offensive line, you have

551
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: game changers. Those guys are game changers. No, they're home

552
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: run hitters. It isn't just four yards in a cloud

553
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: of dust. They're home run hitters. So you know, there

554
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: isn't any believe there's a ton of positives here. And

555
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: again we are gradually moving up and again the key

556
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: issue scoring number eight. That's critical, and you know, in

557
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: terms of offensive tweaks that need to be made the

558
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I know it's only one game,

559
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: but some are still talking about the fifty pass attempts

560
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: against the Titans on Sunday. Um some people want to

561
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: see Jonathan Taylor carry the ball forty times a game.

562
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: If that's possible. Anything you want to see tweaked about

563
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: the offense right now going into these last eight games,

564
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: well I think I think a couple of things, you know,

565
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: And this isn't necessarily a tweak. This to me is

566
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: just a continuance. I want us to maintain the identity.

567
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: And it's not to me about necessarily. Now. You know,

568
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: we blew it out in terms of rushing. There's there's

569
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: no question about we blew it out. In terms of rushing.

570
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: We had two hundred and forty six yards rushing from uh,

571
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, from from Hines in uh Hines and Taylor,

572
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: no no doubt about it. And then we I don't

573
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: know how many yards we had passing to the two

574
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: of them, but it was a huge, huge day for

575
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: those two guys. So I want to keep that identity

576
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: along with Pittman as your number one guy. Keep once

577
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: on the reservation, and by that I mean, here's what

578
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean by that is make sure that in his

579
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: attempt to win the game, when he's on the move,

580
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: when he's extending, because we don't want him not to extend,

581
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: because he makes a lot of plays on his feet,

582
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: but we have to make sure we get through to

583
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: him when he's at such a disadvantage that he can't

584
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: make the play. I don't like throwing with my left hand.

585
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't even like those underneath plays, if you know

586
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm I'm just saying that's where the

587
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: control has to be. I think that we've got to

588
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: develop that good number two and three threats. I was

589
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: really happy to see Granson actually do something that I

590
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: would hope he would did, which was make a play

591
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: and get it downfield. And I think he can be

592
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: in that mix. Zach will always be a really good

593
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: role player, dependable guy. So I think we would like

594
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: to find a more consistent number two guy now that

595
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: Pittman is going to demand coverage and the running game

596
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: is so those other the others on our team are

597
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: going to get one on one all day, Matt. They're

598
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: they're not going to get any attention whatsoever, so they

599
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: have to play. And then I am concerned. I really

600
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: am concerned about the Braden Smith thing. He just seems

601
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: to be on a hard look season. I mean, he

602
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: just can't do anything. You know, he goes in here,

603
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: he comes back, and honestly, since he's been back, he

604
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: has played his tail off. I mean he's a block

605
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: and fool over there, and then he comes up with

606
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: a tricept And I do think that although I think

607
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Prior has done a commendable job, I think I think

608
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: it's something we have to worry about as we go forward.

609
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: Is that right tackle position, Matt Taylor, rickman Urie right there.

610
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: Part two is on the other side, they're gonna go

611
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: defense and then the remaining game outlook for you that

612
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: is coming up next here on Colt's Happy Hour. I've

613
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: got an answer for you for the Forum Credit Union

614
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: question of the week regarding Danny Pinter, the offensive lineman's

615
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: touchdown catch last night. You gotta love that. That might

616
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: have been the play of the game for me because

617
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: it was great how everybody came over. I mean everybody,

618
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: not just the offensive linement, but everybody came over. Man,

619
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: he had a smile. That's what you like to see.

620
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: Right there. Got the answer for that question. I'll actually

621
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: reask it and then answer it. Coming up for you

622
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: the Formed Credit Union question of the Week coming up

623
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: on the other side. Matt and Rick return as well.

624
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: We're at Parks Place Pub. We are in Fishers ninety

625
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: three five and one or seven five A fan, welcome

626

Speaker 1: back to the Colts Happy Hour. We're getting you in

627

Speaker 1: the thow on the Colts heading into the weekend. Hey,

628
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: welcome back to Fishers with us. Thank you Sam for

629
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: doing the engineering. I stand a job, Camas here, Siana's

630
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: here as well. Kyle is always back at the studio

631
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: and we are bringing you Colts Happy Hour from Fishers

632
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: at Parks Place Pub, which has been outstanding. I mentioned

633
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: this so Danny Pinter last night. The cultural offensive lineman

634
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: called touchdown pass his first career TD and that went

635
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: over the Jets. He started his career at ball State.

636
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: The tie end is what he played before he transitioned

637
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: into an offensive lineman. He became the sixth lineman for

638
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: the coach to score at TD. Who was the last

639
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: lineman with a TD? The answer Anthony Costanzo in twenty fourteen.

640
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: That was off the pass Jamie Richard. Prior to that

641
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: OA to fumble recovery haul Jeff Saturday at oh seven

642
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: the fumble recovery, it's Jeff Friday to everybody else. That's

643
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: so great. Bill Schultz back in nineteen ninety two on

644
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: the pass and Randy Dixon in nineteen eighty nine be

645
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery Bill Bill Schultz hadn't been mentioned in

646
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: a while. Shout Out Billy as it formed Credit Unions

647
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: fan form section of Colts dot Com. Interact with other

648
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: fans online. You could post a topic, participate in various

649
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: discussions regarding the Colts form credit union helping members live

650
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: their financial dreams. All right, Part two Boys of the

651
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: Coach Matt Taylor and Rick Ventury, And this is probably

652
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna go in deep, and Rick's gonna have a lot

653
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: of thoughts on this Colts defense, which obviously was not

654
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: good last night, even in that when giving up thirty

655
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: and many late to Joss Johnson in that Jets offense.

656
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: But Matt and Rick have a conversation about the defense

657
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: and what the rest of this schedule might look like. Matt,

658
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: thank you again. Jamb I'm Matt Taylor again with Rick

659
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Ventury on Inside Football. And Rick, we've talked about the

660
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: offense through nine games. Let's go on the defense. Defensively,

661
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: the hallmark of that unit has been the run defense.

662
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: The Cults are giving up just barely over one hundred

663
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: yards per game. They've held four teams to under one

664
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards on the season. They've always been great at

665
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: slowing down the run since two and eighteen. They're elite

666
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: at creating takeaways as well. As we know dating back

667
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: to last season, the Colts have now forced to turnover

668
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: in ten consecutive games. That's the longest active streak in

669
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Colts lead the NFL and force turnovers

670
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: with twenty on the season, and the offense is benefiting.

671
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: They have seventy seven points off of turnovers. That's the

672
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: most of the NFL. Rick We'll talk about the past

673
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: defense in a minute. That's another story, but those are

674
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: the positives for the Colts defense through nine games of

675
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And you know,

676
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: there's been some signatures in the Eber plus air, both

677
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: positive and negative, and we're going to cover them because

678
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe because you win a game that you overlook.

679
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: If you do that to me, you're in Austrich. I

680
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: hear guys after the game justifying injuries and things like that.

681
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. But the tremendous positives, the number

682
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: one positives, and this is the salvation of this defense.

683
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: It's the one salvation is the turnover machine. I mean

684
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: we're number one. Where are we at twenty? Now we're

685
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: at half or forty. And I thought that was after

686
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. I thought that was a joke.

687
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: But we are half there. It real deal. And you know,

688
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: as good as the team is ideal was, there is

689
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: no one like Leonard. I've never seen it. This guy.

690
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: This guy has the ability and he does it day

691
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: after day, week after week. If there's a most valuable

692
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: stripper in this league, it is absolute Darius Leonard. And

693
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: the game was fourteen to seven then, I mean it

694
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: was still, you know, very much a football game, and

695
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: he kind of gave it. That gave us at comfort zone.

696
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: It's always a game changing play. I mean, the guy

697
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: has a knack. I just I'm just amazed at it,

698
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. So I think you know

699
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: that the turnover team is what has saved us. That's

700
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: our signature and you know that's got to continue. Also,

701
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: our rush defense has been a signature and it's really

702
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: gotten better and better. To be honest with you, you know,

703
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: I think we're now number eight in yards per rush

704
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: and that the biggest key is always yards per rush.

705
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 1: Both sides of the ball. It's not necessarily total rush

706
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: because that has to do with games, who you're playing,

707
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, tempo of the game. But the fact that

708
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: we're holding people right at four oh, you know, and

709
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: we've been through some pretty good rushing teams. Those two

710
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: signatures are are really amazing. I do think, you know,

711
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: it's a little bit lost because he's not in the

712
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: in the sack column, but I thought pay had two

713
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: really good rushes, two good hits on the quarterback that

714
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: affected the quarterback. We didn't get him down, but we

715
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: affected it. Um. You know, I think Karake is coming now.

716
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: He'll never be confused with Dick Budkins in the middle

717
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: because he isn't that style. But he has really gotten better.

718
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's not out of position very much. He's

719
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: making a lot of tackles. He's really trying to get

720
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: upfield in the running game. So, you know, I think

721
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: those are our key deals there. Obviously, Kenny Moore is

722
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: a real star Wars. You know, he's he's right next

723
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: to Leonard to me in value on this team because

724
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: he comes up with big plays, He never comes out,

725
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: he plays tough, He plays this position like an All

726
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: Pro to tell you the truth. So you know, to me,

727
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: those are the key positives, particularly two positives that have

728
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: been a signature of this team. One turnovers and two

729
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: rush defense. Yeah all right, then as far as defensive tweaks,

730
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about it. The Cults are giving

731
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: up sixty nine percent completion percentage on the year, and

732
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: no matter who the quarterback seems to be, they're able

733
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: to complete a high volume of throws, especially the short

734
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: and intermediate throws. Josh Johnson and Mike White they combine

735
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: for three hundred and ninety eight yards, four touchdowns, only

736
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: one interception, and again it was a little disheartening on

737
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: a night when the Cults should have won bigger than

738
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: they did. Honestly, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I mean,

739
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, there is a tendency to relax with the

740
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: big but I'm not going to go there because I

741
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: think and I'm not going to go in juries because

742
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: this is a pattern. As good as the pattern has

743
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: been on turnover and rushes, this is the third signature

744
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: and it's a terrific negative. And this is a passing league,

745
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: it isn't a running league. As I said, if you

746
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: look at the percentage against you. You just chronicle at

747
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: sixty nine percent, which sits you at number thirty. The

748
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: bottom ten teams, there are bottom feeding defenses, and other

749
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: than us in the Chiefs, there's nobody that's even competitive

750
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: in the league in that bottom ten. And there's four

751
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: stats that are killing you. It's percentage at thirty, it's

752
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: passer rating. And this goes back four years. As chronicled early.

753
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: It's not just the Drew breezes. It's just not the

754
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Drew breezes. It's the Minshoes, it's the Bemortals, it's you know,

755
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: it's it's now, Joss Johnson. I mean, you cannot continue

756
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: to let this happen. And I'm a little disappointed in

757
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: West Silty sixth Street that we haven't done something about it,

758
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, and you know again in it's a combination

759
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: of many things, but schematically there's an issue because there's

760
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: no nuance in the defense. And I will say they

761
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: did come out Sunday and they played what I call

762
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: a lot of four match early, which was which at

763
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: least tried to get on those receivers quick because we

764
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: talked about how many balls went to the backs, and

765
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: we did a pretty good job, but then they got

766
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: the ball downfield into the holes and so we struggled schematically.

767
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: We also now that wasn't apparent this week, but it

768
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: was the week before. We've never been gained specific to

769
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: take away a key receiver to me, which is inexcusable.

770
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: You know, we aren't getting a lot of rush. There

771
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: isn't a question about that, but that is sometimes tied

772
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: in with the coverage. People tend to think that it's

773
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: rushed that makes the secondary. It's it's a two way street.

774
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: If you're allowing quick rhythm balls to come out, then

775
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: your rush isn't going to get there. It's like a

776
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's sometimes like a place kick. You can

777
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: you can come from the outside. We never get there

778
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: even if you're running blocks. So you know, I don't

779
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: know when they're going to address it. And this is

780
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: something that The other thing that's amazing to me, because

781
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: this has been a strength of ours, is our fourth

782
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: quarter defense. You know, not a lot of it is

783
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: catch up stuff, but we were always the third part

784
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: of our really good defense was always rush defense, turnovers.

785
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter defense. We always find a way to bow up.

786
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: And right now we're twenty ninth. You know, given up

787
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: nine point eight points a quarter. So you know, if

788
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: that isn't a red light now, it should have been

789
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: there for three years. And it's hard to make it

790
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: up during the regular season, it really really is. But

791
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: you better damn sure do it because you're going to

792
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: face four top quarterbacks in the last eight and four

793
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: top offenses. And if you don't shut that down, I

794
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: mean you you can you can kiss playoffs you by

795
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: that's Rick, then Terry, this is inside football. That's a

796
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: recap offense defense. And look at the Jets game as

797
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: the Colts won on a short week forty five to

798
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: thirty over in New York. Lastly, Rick, as we wrap up,

799
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about what the rest of the season looks like.

800
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: What is a reasonable expectation for the Colts given the schedule,

801
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: the final eight games we know about the the oh

802
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: for your last eight against playoff teams in twenty twenty,

803
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Can the Colts close out some of these games and

804
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: beat good teams down the stretch like the Bucks, the Bills,

805
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who look like they're headed for the playoffs

806
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: this season. We're gonna find out if they can win

807
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: some of these games. But what are your tiers of games,

808
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: if you will, in the last eight and how does

809
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: that break down for the Colts. Yeah, you know, you

810
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of nailed it. And I talked about that in

811
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: the beginning, the pluses, and I mean this is a plus.

812
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: This is not a backhanded comment. The Colts just post

813
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: up and they win the games they should win. And

814
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: now we're going to have to find a way to

815
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: win some games that we're going to be the underdog

816
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: in or at least against good teams. Now, as I

817
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: look at our team and then I'm going to get

818
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: into specifics that you've asked for, is if I look

819
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: at our team last night at the end of nine games,

820
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: and this is kind of a mid season break almost,

821
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: I think at this point, and I think that our

822
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: offense is good enough to get us I mean, I'm

823
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: very happy with it. I think our offense is good

824
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: enough to get us ten to eleven wins. The way

825
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: our defensive is playing right now, they're going to keep

826
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: us at eight and nine. So somewhere that offense has

827
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: to stay consistent. And I think the biggest key there

828
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: is keeping the identity and keeping Wentz on the reservation.

829
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: And then defensively, flatly, guys, you got to fix it.

830
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: If you have your head in the sand and you

831
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: can't understand this after three and a half years, then

832
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: you really don't deserve to be here. To be honest

833
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: with you, Looking at the specifics, I'm going to put

834
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: my analysts had on more than my coaching hat, because

835
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: my coaching hat says the only game that we're interested

836
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: is a week from Sunday against the Jaguars. That's it,

837
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: and that's how I'm coaching my team. But my analysts

838
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: says this because I've already studied the Jaguars and I

839
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: know the Texas. So I think unless we have a

840
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: meltdown of historic proportions, we should win those three division games,

841
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: two with the Jags, and we should win the Texans game.

842
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: And I mean not sincerely, I mean and if we

843
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: play our best and they play their best, we win

844
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: those three games. So if you look at it, where

845
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: we are right now, that is seven and five. Okay,

846
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: that's seven and five, and I think that's a given.

847
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots at four and four are very average.

848
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I think Belichick will keep them competitive,

849
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: but I think they're a very average team, and I'm

850
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: going to give us to win there at home, Okay,

851
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: to win they're at home. I think we've got a

852
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: nice break in between there also, and that puts us, yeah,

853
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: you with me on this and that that that brings

854
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: us in my opinion, this is the analyst in me

855
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: to eight and five. Now here's the key eight and

856
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: five from here. You've got the Raiders. I mean you've

857
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: got the Raiders Arizona, you got Buffalo, and you got

858
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: the Bucks, all potential division winners, all good teams, all

859
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who can light you up if you don't do

860
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: something about what you're doing. And to me, the key

861
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: issue there is you've got to get a split there.

862
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: You've got to get a split there to get to ten. Matt,

863
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: I think ten will get you in. Okay, I can't

864
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: guarantee it, but I think ten I'll get you in.

865
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: And realistically, the way if our offense continues to go

866
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: and we can somehow fix this past defense, then you know,

867
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: I think that you you You've got to be competitive, though,

868
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: and you've got to find a way to split realistically,

869
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: those four games. If you do better, great, do better, great,

870
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: but find a way to split those and you win ten. Now,

871
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: obviously those three division games, I mean it's going to

872
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: take a catastrophe to lose one of those, and I

873
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: think you beat the Patriots. Now he's going to coach him, well,

874
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready, but I think you win that one.

875
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: So I think you're looking you know, I think you're

876
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: looking at eight and five with those with those four

877
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: games to go. So if you get the ten wins,

878
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,959
Speaker 1: that means in the last eight games, the Colts got

879
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: six and two, and you know, I think that's necessary.

880
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know, I mean you know

881
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: they you know, and I'm not being critical, but they

882
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: dug their own hole. I mean, you go, you know,

883
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: as you said the other night, you know, you start,

884
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: you start the season, oh and three. You know, now

885
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: you're you're you're climbing. You're climbing a mountain. We found

886
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: that a week we found out a year ago as

887
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: good as we played, and we were eleven and five,

888
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: but the initial loss in the regular season costs us

889
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: a home playoff game. So you you you know, you're

890
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: you're on an uphill climb. But the good news for

891
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: me is between special teams and offense, we on near

892
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: elite team. We're I will say this potentially elite team.

893
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: We have to continue to play like we're playing, you know,

894
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: last night and most of them. I mean we've been

895
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: scoring like crazy. Come on, over thirty and four straight games. Yes, exactly, exactly.

896
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: We haven't seen those numbers since Peyton Manning was the

897
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: quarterback here, that's right. I mean, eighth in the league

898
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: in scoring. Yeah, you know, but you know, seventeenth in scoring.

899
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: On defense, it means you're you know, you're kind of mediocre,

900
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: but the other stats just kill you. Hey. That's Rick
