Thus, 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: as we would call it, even though they were all free. 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: It is I guess sold out. It is no more 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: tickets are available. It is going to be packed up 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: there tomorrow night. It shall be a blast. As I 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: guess you might call camp officially underway with this particular 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: night practice tomorrow night. But an off day for the 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: Colts today as we move forward, big weekend around here. 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: As I mentioned too, you got the Colts in their 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: night practice up into Westfield tomorrow night, got racing over 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Lucas well Raceway tonight. You got racing at IMS tomorrow 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: and on Sunday. Everybody is busy around here and that 32 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,279 Speaker 1: is a good thing. As we always start with Colts 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: Happy Hour. Here is your truth or trash question this 34 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: week involving Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Will he lead 35 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: the league in rushing for the second consecutive season? Truth 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: or trash? Jonathan Taylor finished the season eighteen hundred eleven 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: rushing yards that led the league last year. Not only 38 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: did he lead it, but he led the league by 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty two yards. Did you know the 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: nearest to Jonathan Taylor and rushing yards a year ago 41 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: was Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns with twelve hundred 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: and fifty nine yards. That was a substantial distance right 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: there for Jonathan Taylor in that league leading rushing yardage category. Now, 44 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: along with leading the league in rushing yards, he also 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: led the league in cares three hundred thirty two rushing 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: tds eighteen. He was only one of two players to 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: average one hundred plus yards per game, along with Tennessee 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: Tuttan's running back Derrick Henry. So truth or trash? Will 49 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor lead the NFL in rushing for a second 50 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: consecutive year at JMV ten seventy will answer that, I 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: should say, get your answers to that and more over 52 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: the course of this show a lot for you involving 53 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: the Colts. But we also start with this voice of 54 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor, his weekly conversation with Colts head 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: coach Frank Reich. Matt, all right, it's time now for 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: the head Coaches Report with head coach Frank Reich and coach. Obviously, 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: you're only a handful of days into practice, a couple 58 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: of practices in a walk through today as we sit 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: here and talk right now. Infancy stages certainly, but how 60 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: would you assess the work that the Colts have gotten 61 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: into this point in the early stages of training camp. Yeah, 62 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's been really good. We're getting done 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: what we want to get done, and of course, Matt, 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: we feel like we're a few iterations further along than 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: the last couple of years because we had an offseason, 66 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: so it's been a good start. The other day, you 67 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: were half joking that this is incredibly normal, you know, 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: as compared to training camps in the past, you know, 69 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: last year with the COVID protocols and injuries. Is it 70 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: refreshing to just focus on football to this point because 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: you don't have those other distractions. It really is refreshing. 72 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean, just it's the little things that come to 73 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: appreciate that are the families of the players and their 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: children being there on the practice field after practice, you know, 75 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: being able to go over and say hello to fans, 76 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: sign a few autographs and actually engage with them, you know, 77 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: and then obviously as a team in meeting rooms, being 78 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: able to sit closer together. That those all really helpless 79 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: in that regard. Yesterday there was I think over seven 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: thousand fans in attendance. I know that's going to be 81 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the case coming up on Saturday. It sold out. How 82 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: do you describe the vibe and the atmosphere of the 83 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: fans so far here at camp. Yeah, I've felt it 84 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: actually the whole off season, you know, as I get 85 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: out in the community a little bit, you know, and 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: things opening up a little bit, and not that I'm 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: out a lot, but I can just feel it. I 88 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 1: feel a different vibe, you know, going into this season, 89 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: and I have felt the previous seasons. So and it's 90 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: you know, football's here. We're all in training camp. So 91 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: I think our players feel that. I think we're feeding 92 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 1: off it. They're feeding off the energy of the city, 93 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, off the fans that are out here at 94 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: a practice. It's been good, a good start, all right. 95 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is he's the new guy, and it's it's 96 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: weird to say that because he's got he was heading 97 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: into his fifteenth season, He's played in a super Bowl, 98 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: He's won an MVP. How is he balancing commanding the huddle, 99 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: commanding the locker room to a degree, but also knowing 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: that he's still trying to kind of prove himself to 101 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: his teammates. Yeah, I mean it is that balance. But 102 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: the guys have really embraced him, right, And he's and 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: he knows that this is a collective leadership thing. You know, 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: his leadership is extremely important to this team, but it's 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: one leader amongst many leaders. But he does have a 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: unique role and a unique experience. So we are going 107 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: to lean on that, and we have leaned on it. 108 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: You know, I've had him speak to the team a 109 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: couple of times. You can feel his presence. The guys 110 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: are embracing that, right. So I can't emphasize this enough. 111 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: That will be central to what we do. But that's 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: coupled and complimented by the other great leaders we already. 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you're on the field, you talked about 114 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: this the other day. You're playing faster practices, more up tempo. 115 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: You're running the same amount of plays, but you're getting 116 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: through those plays faster. And he came to you with 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: that idea. Why why was that a priority for him 118 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: in camp? In practice? You know, he's a very decisive. 119 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: It's just very it's a confidence, you know, well, you 120 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: know when you're moving that fast, there's just a confidence 121 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: to what you're doing. And it's just his experience, you know. 122 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: And and I it's really been refreshing. You know, you 123 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: try to get in those modes at a time, but 124 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: sometimes when you're in training camp, in your install mode, 125 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: there tends to be long discussions in between plays and 126 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: it's just a good reminder, Hey, let's let's get up 127 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: and play ball. So he's really been pushing the tempo. 128 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: It's been a good thing. And because of the offseason 129 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: workout program. Do you find that those sets of plays 130 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: it's the same place from last year to a degree, 131 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: but you do you find that the execution it's it's crisper, cleaner, 132 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: more efficient. I think the execution has been really good. 133 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: I do think we're ahead of where we've been. Obviously, 134 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: we've got a long way to go, but that's what 135 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: it starts with. You know, we want to get down 136 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: our core stuff. We want to run it over and 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: over again and to get really good at that core stuff, 138 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: you know. And so really I think both in all 139 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: three phases, defensively and special teams and offense, I think 140 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: the coaches and players have done a good job of 141 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: really understanding that this is our core. Let's really make 142 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: this central to who we are. You know, the wide receiver, 143 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: I know you're really high on that young wide receiver group. 144 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: And again it's early on in camp to this point, 145 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: still know pads, but how are you seeing that that group, 146 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: that competition manifests itself. So far, it's been good. You know, 147 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: we talked the other day and we always say, I know, 148 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: I know, every room, every scale room probably says this 149 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL, but we've always said it here. We 150 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: got to be the most unselfish room. We got to 151 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: be pulling for each other. We're going to earn our reps. 152 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: The ball is going to get spread around, you know. 153 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: So you got a quarterback like Matt, We've always spread 154 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: it around, but he's going to spread it on how 155 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: much further? When you got a guy who can get 156 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: through progressions like he can, you don't not every place 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: schemed up. You know, you just call the play and 158 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: let him work the progression. That's the beauty of when 159 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: you get a quarterback who does that at a high level. 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: So the guys, I think understand that. You know, sure 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: pits our guy, and you know we're going to feed 162 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: him the ball a little bit more, you know, trying 163 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: to always trying to get into him. He's a playmaker. 164 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of it. We're just spreading the 165 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: ball spread around and those young guys are going to 166 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: rotate through right and there's nothing etched in stone and 167 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: they got to earn their reps over onto the defensive 168 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Again, dating back to the offseason 169 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: workout program, a new scheme, new defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley, 170 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: where would you say, collectively the defense is in terms 171 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: of mastering that and having that down after you laid 172 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: down that foundation in the spring. Yeah, really critical that 173 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: we had the spring. I feel good where we're at. 174 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: I think Gus is a phenomenal teacher, He's a phenomenal leader. 175 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: But it is learning a new scheme. I think our 176 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: guys are doing well with it. You know, I can 177 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: feel in the first couple of days of training camp 178 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: it's good. But you know, it's going to take a 179 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: few days to really you know, we got to get 180 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: the pads on, you know, which we'll get him on 181 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: next week and um, but I'm excited about what we're 182 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: doing schematically on defense, you know. Um, you know, Gus 183 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: is bringing in a slightly new flavor and you know, 184 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: we'll mix it up a little bit, but the guys 185 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: are embracing it and looking forward to how it goes 186 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: in training camp. And you've got unique and Ghaquay. You 187 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: saw him with the Jaguars, you played against him, you 188 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: know with the Raiders. Now he's he's on your side 189 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: of things. What kind of intensity and intangibles is he 190 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: bringing to the atmosphere on defense? Yeah, he does bring 191 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: He does bring an intensity the way he carries himself, 192 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: to the way he speaks and the way he plays. 193 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: And then the other thing matters we know, and we've 194 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: already said this, but he just brings product, proven production. 195 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: You know, this is a guy who's bringing proven production. 196 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: So and we know that. I mean, he's got to 197 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: prove it again. But I think it'll really compliment the 198 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: guys we have up front. All right, lastly night practice 199 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: tomorrow again that's sold out, and then practice next week 200 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday through Thursday. The pads come on next week. What 201 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: do you want to see out of camp? What's the 202 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: next chapter of camp in terms of production and just 203 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: what you want to get out of this next week? 204 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: And we're still an install mode and we'll really starting 205 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: to get a lot into the situational football, get a 206 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: lot of third down reps, a lot of red zone 207 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: reps and you know, get short yardage goal one, two minute, 208 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: four minute. Those things are critical, right and they're critical 209 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: to get at speed. So we did a lot of them, 210 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, in the spring, but now to kind of 211 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: get through that stuff right because at the end of 212 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: the day, situational football is central to winning. We need 213 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: to play smart, We need a scheme smart, We need 214 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: to understand the situation, not just a third down, but 215 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: where in the game are we going fourd on fourth down? 216 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: Those are all things we try to communicate, but that 217 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: starts with good execution.

You're trying to acclimate. 306 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: How would you assess how your rookie season went now 307 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: that you have a full off season to kind of 308 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: look back on it and reflect. I think my rookie 309 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: season tours. Like the end of the year, I started 310 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: to get that routine down, yeah, and like just really 311 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: know what I had to do to take care of 312 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: my body and just for me to you know, make 313 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: it through the season. Um, I got the injury last 314 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: year earlier in the year, and then after that, that's 315 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: when I try to like tune up what I had 316 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: to do daily to make sure that it never happens again. So, um, 317 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: that's a big thing about being the rookie is like 318 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: just getting the schedule down, getting a set schedron, just 319 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: make sure you follow it.

We talked about 392 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley here leading that defense with guys like you 393 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: flip it over the leadership qualities that you've seen out 394 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: of the newest member of the Colt quarterback is Matt Ryan. 395 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we got another new quarterback in here for 396 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: another training camp. What do you like about Matt Ryan? 397 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: What is he showing you just in a way that 398 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: he leads a squad and again he's a new guy 399 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: in town. Yeah, so, um, the first time he came here, like, 400 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: you knew my name off the bat, So you know 401 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: it shows that, um, he knows his players. Um, he 402 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: came in. Yeah, he came in and he spoke to everybody. 403 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: Wasn't like a guy that was kind of quiet to himself, 404 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: And that's what you want and the leader. When you 405 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: look at this defense from a schematic standpoint, what's the 406 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: biggest change for you compared to last year as a rookie? Um, 407 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: this year they are the D line coach speaks about, 408 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: you know, the D line being the engine of the defense. 409 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, we're just flying off the ball. We're just 410 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: going and we're just messing stuff up and then everybody 411 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: else's they'll just they'll just come and clean it up. 412 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: So for us, that's that attack front. Yeah, last year, 413 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: you know it was aggressive, but this year is really 414 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: like we're going after um off the ball and you 415 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: know we're Shannon our Lanes and just um we can 416 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: have it. Do you said personal goals for yourself before 417 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: the season, because I got you had twenty two sacks? Yeah, yeah, 418 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: no pressure twenty two Okay, I'm just putting it out 419 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: there right now. Yeah, for me, you know, some of 420 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: the individual goals that have definitely to get double digit sacks, Um, 421 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: you know, definitely want to be a pro bowler and 422 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, as a player when you 423 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: go into this season, you've got leaders on the team 424 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: like d Leonard and DeForest Buckner and Nine Hines and 425 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor talking openly about the disappointment of last season 426 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: the way and ended missing the playoffs, and just the 427 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: sense of urgency that you guys are having at the 428 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: start of camp here. Do you find that to be 429 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: healthy refreshing that that's out in the open going into 430 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: camp or going into the season when you know you've 431 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: got some important division games right out of the gate. 432 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. We definitely have a couple of 433 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: games that we have to take care of this this season. 434 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: And I feel like you just to remember what happened 435 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: last year, not to forget, you know, kind of we're 436 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: moving past it, but not to forget how we ended 437 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: last year, because we were rolling at one point in 438 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: the season, you know, we were dusting everybody like I 439 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: felt like we couldn't be stopped. And then those last 440 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: two games kind of, you know, we kind of just 441 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: ran out of the juice. But I feel like this 442 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: season is going to be a great season. You know, 443 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: having those leaders on our teams, you know, really push us. 444 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: JT emerge as a great leader last year. You know, 445 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: having bucking our d line is great for us, being 446 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: a big VET and a guy just that just knows 447 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: how to take care of business. Um, having d Leonard 448 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: back there, it's great last one for me. And it's 449 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: an open ended question. But how much can Unique and 450 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: Goaqua help him both on and off the field with 451 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: all you know, his experience. So in college I think 452 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: I spoke about this before, but in college I watched 453 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: a lot of his film How We Did the Cross Shop. 454 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: I left How We Did the Cross Shop.

Really just just he spoke a lot about 654 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: having us the mindset and um, he talked about Ali 655 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: and him having that extreme mindset and just to go 656 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: just to just to be a winner and just to 657 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: never let anything and Ali for sure, Yeah, and um, 658 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: you know he spoke a lot about that, and and 659 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: I wrote some things down, and you know, I take 660 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: some of those things and I just kind of read 661 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: over him every single day. But he did a great 662 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: job with addressing the team. Um. I feel like we 663 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: all gained something from from him speaking to us. Um. 664 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: And every time we every time someone like that gets 665 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: up up there to speak to us, we just try 666 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 1: to take as main notes down as possible because they 667 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: have all they have all the wisdom, you know, what 668 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean. So, I'm just trying to learn from everyone, 669 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,239 Speaker 1: not just my teammates. I'm just trying to learn from 670 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: everyone in the building. Um, and that's just gonna make 671 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: us a better team. That's just gonna make us a 672 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: better culture. Well done, it's braying facing with us. And 673 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: again this is your third stop with Gus Bradley, Chargers, 674 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: Raiders now the Colts. So I think it's fair to 675 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: say that you have like a master's degree in the 676 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley defense. So with that said, where do you 677 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: think the rest of your teammates are in learning this 678 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: defense and mastering it for themselves with this being their 679 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: first going around and the guy's like you know, Kenny Moore, 680 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: Shack Leonard DeForrest Buckner, Quitty Pay just to name a few, 681 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: where do you think the rest of your teammates are 682 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: in terms of acclimation into the scheme? I mean, I 683 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: think they're doing a great job. You know, OCAs was 684 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: important for us, you know, new scheme, new new playbook, everything. 685 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 1: So when we got in here, it was just our 686 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: main focus just to learn as much as we could 687 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: at that in those in those few weeks that we 688 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: had and uh, we're gonna stay in the playbook and 689 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: when we get here, it's just gonna be moving. So, um, 690 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: I think everyone's doing a great job of acclimating. I mean, 691 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: we're still learning from each other and we're still learning 692 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: how to play with each other. So all in all, 693 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: I think everyone's doing a great job. Everyone's buying in 694 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: and that's really the most important part. Just everyone has 695 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: to buy in and just trust each other. And um, 696 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's gonna be great. Do you 697 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: feel like you're kind of a coach on the field 698 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: because you have all this experience I do helping those 699 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: other guys I do, And um, you know, like I 700 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: told them, I'm hide no secret. Anything you need for me, 701 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: I got you. I'm just not that type of player. 702 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: Just to just to keep it to myself, you know. 703 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: And I want everybody to be great around because I 704 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: know ultimately that's just gonna make us a better team. 705 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: And you know, in the past, I've learned from guys 706 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: I play with, you know, Ray Shawn Jenkins and Casey 707 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: Hayward and Adrian Phillis and all those guys. So every 708 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: day I was picking their minds and just learning the 709 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: defense for myself and I think that's that's what it 710 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: all comes down to. So anytime they need anything, I 711 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: try to be as as helpful as possible because I 712 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: do know the defense and I'm still learning it and 713 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm still learning some things about myself and things that 714 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: will help me just mastering my craft. So each and 715 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: every day we all just trying to build each other, 716 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: and um, that's just what it is at the end 717 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: of the day, and where I think it's gonna be great. Well, 718 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: you can definitely tell matey a leader. I mean, I'm 719 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: getting a leader vibe from this young man when he's 720 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: bringing coming into an all defense that he's familiar with. 721 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: Before we let you go. You gotta to make it 722 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: in this league. You have to live, breathe, eat football. 723 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: And that's twenty four seven three six times. But when 724 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: Brandon Facing gets away from the game a little bit 725 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: and he has some time to kind of let us 726 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: guard down a little bit and relax. Give me something 727 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: do you like to do off the field. I like 728 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: to travel, spend time with my family. Um, I like 729 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: to play Call of Duty with my boys. You know, 730 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a I'm a kid at heart. I feel 731 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: like I'm a very mature kid, but I always want 732 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: to keep that that mentality, like I just don't want 733 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: to take anything. I take everything serious, but I don't 734 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: want to take anything too serious, you know what I mean. 735 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: So I just I just try to just have let 736 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: my spirit just roam and be free. And I feel 737 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: like you get the best out of yourself when you're 738 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: just actually just you just feel free and um and 739 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: so I just I like to do a lot. I 740 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: go to the beach, I like to go, you know, 741 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: travel with my guys, and um, you know, I'm from Georgia, 742 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: So I go back home and I just you know, 743 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: I try to just just share everything with my with 744 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: my boys and my family, and um, you know, I 745 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: like to do a lot of things. I'm really not. 746 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: The only thing I want to do is I don't 747 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: I want to do roller coasters, man, That's the only 748 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: thing I really don't do.

I 815 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: mean my motive to you know, become the best player 816 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: I could be and obviously, you know, do what I 817 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: can to benefit the team. So that's gonna come down to, know, executing, 818 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: making sure I'm physically and mentally ready to play and 819 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: you know, protect Matt on that blind side. Hey, that 820 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: left tackle is what we got to protect and you 821 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: know it goes. You don't have a lot of experience there, 822 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: but I know you had an offseason working on things. 823 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: Tell me where you're different this year from where you 824 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 1: left off last year. Um, I was saying the comfortability aspect, 825 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 1: you know, getting used to having my hips flip playing 826 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: on the left side takes them getting accustomed to. I'm 827 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: pretty sharing the offensive line. We can say it's a 828 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's a different switching from side to side, 829 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: but you know, through my career, I've kind of done it, 830 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: and uh, I think this offseason just kind of helped me, 831 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: you know, solidify having my body prepared to you know, 832 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: switch over. As Jeffrey said, you know only a couple 833 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: of starts career wise at left tackle. Do you feel 834 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: like a left tackle now in your head? Mindset wise? 835 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: Going into this camp. Uh yeah, I mean I talked 836 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: to a couple of milogs from different teams. I talked 837 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: to Jason Peters, I talked to Brandon Brooks and and uh, 838 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, they both said the same thing. It come 839 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: sit down to having a mindset and uh, you know, 840 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: going out there thinking you're the best player out there, 841 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: and um, you know, bringing that every week. Granted, you 842 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: know you're gonna have your down plays and then you're 843 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: gonna have your good players than at the end of 844 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: the day, it's important to have better good players than 845 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: bad plays. And when you have a bad play, just 846 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: forget about it and move on to the next one. 847 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: He said. This offseason, you've been focusing on footwork, among 848 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 1: other things. How big is footwork and how do you 849 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 1: train your brain in terms of the footwork to be 850 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: in a position to excel at left tackle? Um, footwork 851 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: is important in any position, regardless of what side you 852 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: play on. And then at the end of the day, 853 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: it comes out to repetition and uh, you know, just 854 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: training your body to muscle memory and getting used to 855 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: getting into that pattern of doing it repeatedly at a 856 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: high level. That's Matt Matt prior and we're talking, let 857 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: me bring up a draft choice reseason Raymond. Okay, big 858 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: tackle guy who's played a little bit in college. You 859 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: guys are competing out there, trying to get better for 860 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: both of you, but you gotta port one another guy 861 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: as well. What's that fighting like? And I know it's 862 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: only been a couple of practices. Um, it's good man. Uh. Competition, 863 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: you know brings the best out of everybody. And you 864 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: know that's how iron Shopper's iron, that's right. So especially 865 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: from a young guy, you know he came in trying 866 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: to learn. Uh. So you know, any kind of troubles 867 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: he had with the with the play or a drill, 868 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: you know, he comes to me and I'll coach him 869 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: up on because you never know who's going to be 870 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: in the game, and at the end of the day, 871 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: you want you want whoever's in there to play to 872 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: the best ability. So you know, regardless of it being 873 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: a competitioner and not gonna make sure he's prepared. Hey man, 874 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: you've been in this league a while now. You played 875 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: with a bunch of different quarterbacks. What's different about this 876 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: cat that's number two right now? What something on the 877 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: inside about Matt Ryan hey Man, Eddie Ice. Uh Man, 878 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: he's the truth. He's elite. Uh from day one, just 879 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: his presence and is his control over the room and uh, 880 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, just just him being vocal and bringing the 881 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: room to understand and that it's going to take everybody 882 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: to come together and uh, you know it's a team 883 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: effort and then the team it requires trust. So you 884 00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: know right now we're earning that trust and we're put 885 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: and then the work to be prepared to go out 886 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 1: there on the field and dominate. That's Matt Pryor, offensive 887 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: tackle for the Indianapolis Colts. And it's been about a 888 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: year since you were traded, right, lad in training camp 889 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: last year you come in and new city, new team, 890 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: You're acclimating to everything new in that year's time. I'm 891 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: just curious what was that like for you? How how 892 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: much of a whirlwind has it been for you? And 893 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: how are you trying to kind of settle into a 894 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: new position now? Um, I mean in Philly, I kind 895 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: of bounced position to position, so I kind of have 896 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: experience all around as a young guy. I'd say take 897 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: advantage of being able to play every position, but all 898 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: be all if you want to be successful in the 899 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: league and you know, get paid well and you know, 900 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of success. You can't do that playing 901 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: multiple positions. But at the end of the day, you 902 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: want to want to settle in one position. So I 903 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: wasn't expecting that opportunity when I got traded. You know, 904 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 1: when I got here, I expected just to be an extra, 905 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: you know, get in sure when eat it and I say, 906 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: it's a saving grace, just because I don't know what 907 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: was going to go on in Philly. You know, from 908 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: how things were looking, probably end to being cut. So 909 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Coats came in and you know made 910 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: a made a good thing out of a bass situation. 911 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm grateful for the Ballard and Frank 912 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: coming over here and take me, taking me in and 913 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: give me an opportunity to shine. How do you force 914 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: your way into force is probably not the right word, 915 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: but how do you find yourself into a position where 916 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: you can focus on just one position? Because when you 917 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 1: break into the league, you know you're a young guy. 918 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: You're trying to find some staying power. You want to 919 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: have that versatility and flexibility and solidify a roster spot 920 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: because you can be the swing guy that can play 921 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: right guard or right tackle or left guard whatever. But 922 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: how how tough is it to break in and have 923 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: those conversations with a general manager or a head coach 924 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: and say, coach, if it's okay with you, I would 925 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: like to just focus on playing one position for the 926 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: overall health and long ja evity of my career. UM. 927 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: I will say, unless you're one of those top picks 928 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: coming out the draft, the odds of you playing just 929 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: one position or slim. And you know everybody will tell 930 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: you the best ability of availability. So being able to 931 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: play every position is what's really gonna keep you on 932 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: the field or on a team if you're a low 933 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: draft pick. So you know, coming at the sixth round 934 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: at the end of I took advantage of whatever opportunity 935 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: I had, regardless of fills that guard exactly or tackle 936 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 1: on either side. UM. As far as asking to play 937 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: one position, I didn't ask that. They gave me the opportunity, 938 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: and you know I took it. And any any young 939 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: guy who gets that opportunity. UM, even if it's playing 940 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: multiple positions, a team's gonna see you, you know, shine 941 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: at one position. So you know, take advantage of whatever 942 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: opportunity you get. I wouldn't mind seeing you at tight end. 943 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: I think about you flipping around some positions end for 944 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: the big package. You're just saying. I'm just saying. We're 945 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: talking about prior right there. You guys got to have 946 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 1: a sort of a fraternity when it comes to offensive lineman, 947 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: especially here in Indianapolis, because you got the best running 948 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: back in football behind you. What is that relationship Because 949 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: the more success that he has, the more success that 950 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: that you guys get as a group. Uh, the relationship 951 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: with with JT or the old line A man, I 952 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: love JT. Me and j T talk all day. Uh. 953 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: You know he his mindset as well, just like Matt Ryan. 954 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: You know he's he's well, uh, he presents himself well. Um, 955 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: he's really educated in his speaking, and he's motivational. Whenever 956 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: he breaks breaks the huddle down or if he's up 957 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,959 Speaker 1: to talk, nobody likes to talk after him just because 958 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, he just just how he presents himself and 959 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: what he has to say. And for being a young player, 960 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: you know that that that uh that really you know 961 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: sets him up to be one of those elite players. 962 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: Let me ask you as an offensive I mean guy 963 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: who's been around here. Are you at the disappointment level? 964 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: If there's a sack I'm Matt Ryan or last year 965 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 1: or whatever, or there's a game for no yards or 966 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: loss for Jonathan Taylor, you guys take that personally. U. 967 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, of course, it's it's kind of a I mean, 968 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: it's a tricky subject just because you learn to forget 969 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: that last play, but the day you got to have 970 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: it in the back of your mind, like, we can't 971 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: let that happen again. Um, But like I said, you know, 972 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: bad plays happened, and it's best to move on and 973 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: make the best of the next play. You know. A 974 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: few years back, you had surgery to repair some disks, yeah, 975 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: in your back, and I know you've talked openly about 976 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: just how how tough that was, how challenging that was 977 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: for you. And that was a few years ago. Now 978 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: that that's sort of behind you, and you have this 979 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: massive opportunity here with the Colts, Like how how liberating 980 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: is that for you? And how how clear is your 981 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: headspace because you now are healthy you can just focus 982 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: on ball. Yeah. Um, I mean it was tough. In 983 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I hurt my back in the offseason and 984 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was my back to about midway 985 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: through the season because one of our younger players had 986 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: the same issue and I kind of let him fill 987 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: it out and he needed surgery, so I kind of 988 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: had to fill on what it was. But we were 989 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of injuries in and I didn't 990 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: want to be that guy to take myself out. Everybody 991 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: else is fighting through it. Um. So you know, it 992 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: got the end of the year and I get my 993 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: MRI and the doctor told me it's probably one of 994 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 1: the worst injuries he's seen for a back. Um. And 995 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily my back hurting. I just had no 996 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 1: feeling in my legs. So it was tough. Definitely a 997 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: lot of downs. Uh some games were better than others. 998 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: But um, after that surgery, you know, I could feel 999 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: the difference spot away in my legs and um, you know, 1000 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 1: it was a relief, a relief, and those four months 1001 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,800 Speaker 1: of recovery, we're kind of stressful, just because for the 1002 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: first like two three months, I couldn't I couldn't get 1003 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: out of bed. Really, I had to lay down, and 1004 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 1: I slowly had to work back in to you know, 1005 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: working out or even running. And when we got to 1006 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: OTAs Even then it was I kind of just building in. 1007 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: It kind of sucked because because I see everybody else 1008 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: over there working, so you know, it was a little 1009 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,359 Speaker 1: stressful and depressing. But at the end of the day, 1010 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: it made me a better player, you know, and it 1011 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: set me up for another tune to come over here 1012 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: and start.
