I'm JJ Sakovitz, 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: joined by Colts Ring of Honor member Bill Brooks, and Bill, 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: I want to start here as we look at the 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: colts twenty three to seventeen win over the Jacksonville Jaguars 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: in Week ten. An important thing in the NFL is 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: finding different ways to win each and every week and 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: not leaning on one thing, whether that the offense needing 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: to score thirty points a game or the defense getting 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of takeaways. The Colts were able to win 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: this game, Bill, because they got contributions in areas that 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: they hadn't necessarily got them from earlier this year, whether 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: that special teams, the defense, closing out a game and 21 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: the way that they did today. I'm curious, Bill, somebody 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: who's been on quite a few NFL teams, when you're 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: able to come out of a game like this, even 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are a two win team, they're a 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: divisional opponent. You didn't play your best in one phase, 26 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: but you're able to get this victory. When you kind 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: of reconvene the day after, do you have more confidence 28 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: in where you can go as a team and where 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: the specifically then where this Colts team is going because 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: they showed today, hey, we can win a game even 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: if we're not playing our best on the side of 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: the ball that has been playing its best over the 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: last couple of games. Definitely gives you confidence because in 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: this league, the good teams, they're not gonna play well 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: all seventeen games of the season. They're gonna play games 36 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: where they're not playing that well, either on offense, defense, 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: or special teams, and you have to find a way 38 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: to win. And when you can find different ways to 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: win and be able to close out a game like 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: they did today, that definitely gives you more confidence. Granted, 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: the offense didn't play as well as they want to play, 42 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: of course they didn't. They want to play a lot 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: better than what they did. The defense played well, they 44 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: did some things today to slow up and confuse Trevor Larrence. 45 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 1: But the special teams come up with a big play, 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: come up with a big block, and score a touchdown 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: off a block punt. That's huge for a team, and 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: that just gives a team confidence knowing that, Hey, if 49 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: we go into the games later on the year where 50 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: we know we need to play to get us jump started, 51 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: or to turn the momentium around or change the game, 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: we know one phase of our team can make that play, 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: if it's offense, defense, or special teams. So it definitely 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: gets your confidence moving forward. The Colts offense scored thirty 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: or more points in four consecutive games before today. The 56 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: last time they were held under thirty was Week five 57 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: against Baltimore in a game that was a really good 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: day for the Colts offense, even in that loss. So 59 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the starting point. I thought 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: it was funny Bill I was talking with Ryan Kelly 61 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: after the game and this was I love the way 62 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: that he phrased this where at the end of the game, 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, it's Michael Pittman Junior for that twenty seven 64 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: yard catch. That kind of gives gives everyone some breathing room, 65 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: and everyone's kind of able to take down of a 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: deep breath and say, all right, like we should be 67 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: able to go down and win this game. You know, 68 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: we'll get the field goal, you know, whatever it may be, 69 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: and then after force Jacksonville to go the long you know, 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: the length of the field. But Ryan Kelly his response 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: to that was, quote, you know, even at the end, 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: just being able to get a first down, it seemed 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: like it had been a while since we got one 74 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: of those. So doing that for the defense, to give 75 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: them a little more of a break was just an 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: honorable gesture. I love, like, oh it was. It was 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: really honorable of us, because I mean, you could tell 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: Kelly was frustrated it with the way the offense played. 79 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's front did a really good job. They threw some 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: unscouted looks at the Colts at that you know, led 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: to some pressures on Carson Wentz. But when you look 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: at what the Colts offense was able to do and 83 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: what they were not able to do on Sunday, Bill, 84 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: what kind of stood out in the way that Jacksonville 85 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: was able to attack the Colts offensive line. Well, I 86 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: think what they did is they gave him some different 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: looks in the second half. The first half, I thought 88 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: the Coast did a nice job of moving the ball 89 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: down the field, creating some run lanes the Jonathan Taylor 90 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had over hundred yards in the first half 91 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: and played extremely well in the first half. The Colts 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: offense did, so that was a plus. But I think 93 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: what they did is they they changed some things, put 94 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: some pressure. I bought some pressure on the different gaps 95 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: against the Coats offense, and just something a few things 96 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: a little differently that they got the Coats off the 97 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: line a little confused, so that stifled the running game 98 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: a little bit and also put some pressure on Carson Wentz. 99 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: But as we talked about earlier, they did enough to 100 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: make sure that they went down and got the big 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: first down and got a field goal to put them 102 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: up by six. So that makes it difficult for the 103 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: Jaguars actually go out way down the field and score touchdowns. 104 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: It was a lot different than the Jaguars if they 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: had to go down and just get a field goal. 106 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: So getting that first down from Carson to scrambling and 107 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: Pittman finding the open area there down the field and 108 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Cars throwing the ball on the run, hitting Pittman and 109 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: giving the Coats enough room. So then go down and 110 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: the field goal was huge for that drive for the Coats. 111 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: By the way, the Jaguars had twenty eight total pressures, 112 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: their pressure rate was forty four person sent. The Colts defense, 113 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: by the way, twenty nine pressures, their pressure rate was 114 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: forty seven percent. So game a game where both lines 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: got after the quarterback. But you know, we talked a 116 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: lot about it Bill leading up to this game about 117 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: how well the Jaguars defensive line was playing coming off 118 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: that game against the Bills in which they held them 119 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: to six points. In this game, Josh Allen, this per 120 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, Josh Allen had nine pressures. Roy Robertson Harris, 121 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: a really lengthy athletic defensive end to played a lot 122 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: of time with the Chicago Bears. He had six pressures 123 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: in this game that led the Jaguars in both those categories. 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: And you know it, like you said, the second half, 125 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: things really started to turn for that Jaguars front and 126 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: the Colts after scoring on their first two possessions, they 127 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: then went punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, punt, punt, 128 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: field goal, and that was to the end of the game. 129 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: So you know, give the Jaguars defense quite a bit 130 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: of credit for how well they played, but tell the 131 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: Colts offense was still frustrated with how things went. The 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: other thing here, Bill, Jonathan Taylor, he rushed for one 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen yards. Ninety three of those came in 134 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the first quarter, so again you could tell that the 135 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: Jaguars really found some solutions up front. You maybe wonder 136 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: how Quentin Nelson, he looked like he got hurt during 137 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: the game, if that maybe played a bit of a factor. 138 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: But kudos to him for gritting everything out and still 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: staying in this game. But is this game, I guess, Bill, 140 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: when you kind of zoom out on this game, are 141 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: you worried at all about the Colts offense or was 142 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: this one of those games against a divisional opponent where 143 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: you just kind of tip your cap to the opposition 144 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: and move on to the next week. It's kind of 145 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: mixture of both, A little bit. The all concern I 146 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: have is the Colts not being able to make the 147 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: adjustments on the fly in a second half, because they're 148 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: gonna be things where teams will make adjustments to what 149 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: the Colts are doing and the Colats gonna have to 150 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: make an adjustment to their adjustment to do that on 151 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: the fly instead of waiting to the halftime and do 152 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: it well. You might not have an opportunity to do 153 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: it at halftime. Where Jacksonville made an adjustment at halftime 154 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: that came out in the second half did some things 155 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: to cause some problems with the Coats. Well, the Coast 156 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: need to make an adjustment to their adjustments during that 157 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: third quarter and fourth quarter, and they didn't quite make 158 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: those adjustments where they needed to for that. So I 159 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: think teams will probably try to start doing that. So 160 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: that's a little concern. But other than that, no, I 161 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: don't have much concern. I just think the Coats did 162 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: enough to win the football game, and that's what you 163 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: have to do right now. Right now, the coach in 164 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: a situation where they just need to win football games. 165 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: It might not be pretty, it might not be the 166 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: way you want to win football games. There might be 167 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: some things you need to improve on you need to 168 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: work on, but the bottom lines just they won the game. 169 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: Let's move on. We got a game next week against 170 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: a good opponent. But for this game, they did what 171 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: they need to do to close out the game and 172 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: win the game. One other thing I wanted to ask 173 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: you about the offense before we move on to the defense. 174 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: The twenty seven yard completion of Michael Pittman Junior that 175 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had on third and seven at the forty 176 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: nine yard line late in the fourth quarter. Pittman on 177 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: that play, I mean, he said he was essentially running 178 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: step for step with Carson Wentz. But on it as 179 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, when do you identify, like, all right, 180 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: my quarterbacks flushed outside of the pocket. Because Pittman on 181 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: that play, he kind of runs up the seam and 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: he looks back at Wentz, who then gets flushed out 183 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: to his right, and Pittman at that point he picks 184 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: up where the linebacker's, he picks up where the corner is, 185 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: and he just starts running essentially towards the thirty yard line. 186 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: It's a really nice play by Pittman. How difficult is 187 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: that as a wide receiver to have that spatial awareness 188 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: to not only know where you are on the field, 189 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: but no exactly where to go when your quarterback is 190 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: being flushed out in a certain direction. Well, if you 191 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: have an idea of the play that you're running, so 192 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: you know exactly where everybody in your team should be, 193 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the let receiver should be, where they should be located, 194 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: their depth. And while you're doing that, you also know 195 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: that the defense that they're playing, so you know where 196 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: the holes are on the defense. If they're playing zone, 197 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: if you're playing man to man, well, you feel the 198 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: guy running with you, and then as you look back 199 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: and you look back to a spot, you don't see 200 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: your quarterback. Theory, you know your quarterback is rolling out, 201 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: then if you could see him which way he's rolling. 202 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: The rule of thumb is when the quarterback scrambling, you 203 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: want to run parallel with your quarterback. So you want 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: to run the same direction with the quarterback the way 205 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: he's running. Now, if you get to the sideline while 206 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks went a parallel, you get about three yards 207 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: to the sideline, then you can turn the field and 208 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: go and go deep because you can't run anymore and 209 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: you don't want to bring people back to the quarterback 210 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: so because it might be someone underneath you as far 211 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: as another receiver, so you don't want to run and 212 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: get in his way. So Pittman did a nice job. 213 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean he found the open area, found the hole there, 214 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: found the soft spot. And Carson, you know, I think 215 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: Carson feels so comfortable with Pittman knowing that he would 216 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: find the soft bot he would be somewhere where he 217 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: can throw the ball and get the ball to Pittman 218 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: and Pittman will make the catch. And Pittman did a 219 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: nice job of keeping his feet and bounds. And though 220 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: it wasn't just a catch and and Carson rolling to 221 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: his right and throwing, it was Pittman keeping his feet inbounds, 222 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: controlling the ball and make sure he had control the 223 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: ball with both of his feet and bounds. They get 224 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: their first down, They keep you driver alive. So I 225 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: think this is really interesting that you mentioned knowing the 226 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: other routes, because that that sometimes does seem to be 227 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: a challenge for young wide receivers is knowing where they 228 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: fit on every single play. And on this play, Moyley 229 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: Cox kind of runs a stop route but ten yards 230 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: of depth and on it the corner on that side 231 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: kind of drives down on mo while Carson starts scrambling. 232 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Pittman's able to fit in between the corner and the 233 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: safety really well. And just that that feel and that 234 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: knowledge of where everyone else is. Is that something when 235 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: you watch Pittman Bill, is that something that's helped him 236 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: get better this year is not only his own ability 237 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: to go up and win on contested catches, but to 238 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: understand the rest of the route concepts and where he 239 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: can fit in, whether it's on platform or off platform. 240 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: As that's just the growth of Pittman as far as 241 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: from last year to this year. As far as being 242 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: being able to understand the offense that you're playing in 243 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: and not just knowing what you're doing, it's I won't 244 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: say it's easy to know just what you're doing as 245 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: far as the whide receiving the National Football League, but 246 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: to get a better grasp of the offense and what 247 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: the coaches are calling and why they're calling the play, 248 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: and what everyone's doing and what the coach is trying 249 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: to accomplish on that play. It's a huge difference than 250 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: just knowing what you do out there in the football field, 251 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: because then when you understand the concept of the play, 252 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: understand what everyone's doing, why the coach is calling this 253 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: play on this down a distance, You have idea what's 254 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: going on. So that makes it your job a lot 255 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: easier once you understand all those things, understand what the 256 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: other receivers are doing and their responsibilities are, and so 257 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: when things do break down, it makes it easier for 258 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: you to find the holes in the zone or to 259 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: run away from the guy in man and get to 260 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: the right spot. And you're not going to run into 261 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: someone else where you have two receivers in one spot. 262 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: So when you have a better understanding of the offense, 263 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: you can find those open areas and then get those 264 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: big plays like Pittman did tonight. All right, so let's 265 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: switch over and look at the Colts defense. And this 266 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: is something that really stood out to me, Bill, is 267 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: that in the second quarter, the Jaguars really started to 268 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: win the field position battle. They started their five drives 269 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, which, by the way, I mean 270 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: five drives in the second quarter. That's crazy, just indicative 271 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: of how this game went. But they started those drives 272 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: on about the thirty five yard line, their own thirty 273 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: five yard line, so they were getting good field position 274 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: with a lot of concept insistency here, and the Colts 275 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: defense on four of those five forced three and outs. 276 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: And if you look at what this defense is able 277 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: to do to me that stretch of game right there, 278 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: that decided this game, because the Jaguars had a number 279 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: of opportunities to really get back into it. They just 280 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on Jamal Agnew with that big run. 281 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: So you get it to seventeen to six, you get 282 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: all these good field positions at the thirty eight thirty 283 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: seven forty three yard line, and the Colts defense locks in. 284 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: And I know it is only the second quarter, but 285 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: right there, if the Jaguars turned one of those drives 286 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: into a touchdown, this is a different game. It might 287 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: be a different result at the end of it. So 288 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: tons of credit to the Colts defense and the coverage 289 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: of guys like Kenny Moore the second and Rocky is 290 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: scene in this game, and Isaiah Rodgers as well, was 291 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: really really good. When you looked at what the Colts 292 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: defense did bill in those situations when you're kind of 293 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: you're starting to get backed up a little bit in 294 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: the field position battle to make the plays that they did. 295 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: How impressive was that to you? It was very impressive because, 296 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: like you said, there's drives. The first drive in the 297 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: second quarter, they started the thirty eight yard line, the 298 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: first players are incomplete, passed the channel, then they're running 299 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: by Robinson the game two yards and another pass incomplete. 300 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: Then they had to punt. So, I mean that's just 301 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: was indicative of the next few times they got the ball. 302 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: Was the next time they got the ball in the 303 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: thirty seven yard line and they also had to punt 304 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: as well, and then they got the ball getting next 305 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: at the forty three yard line, Trevor Lawrence scrambles for 306 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: four yards run by Chenault, gaining five yards run by 307 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Carlins Hide no game punt. So when the defense does 308 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: that knowing that the other team has good field position 309 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: to move the ball down the field and then they're 310 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna stop those guys. The opponent on three consecutive drives, 311 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: three players and out, that says a lot about the defense. 312 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Defense came to play. I think Eba Flews did a 313 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: nice job of things up, kind of confusing Trevor Lawrence 314 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: at times, putting people up there that as they were 315 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: blitzing and then dropping them out, sometimes coming sending pressure 316 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: from different places. So I think it did a good 317 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: job of confusing the young quarterback, which made it difficult 318 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: for him, and then a lot of times you saw 319 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: him holding the ball back there in the backfield and 320 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: not knowing exactly where to go with the ball. I 321 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: think the defensive backs did also a good job of 322 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: closing the gap with the receivers and making sure that 323 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: the windows were a lot small to throw in to 324 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: make it difficult for Trevor Lawrence, which that would help 325 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: the defensive line to get some pressure on the quarterback, 326 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: which they did tonight. Yeah. I thought that that's a 327 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: really good point about the windows, because it looked like 328 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Lawrence at times was trying to lead his receivers almost 329 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: a little bit too far because the coverage was so sticky. 330 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: You know, whether it again, I mean, Kenny Moore had 331 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: a great game, He had a really really impactful game, 332 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: but you know to then look at what the Colts 333 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: defense is able to do late. So the Jaguars cut 334 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: it to twenty to seventeen. After that ten play, sixty 335 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: five yard touchdown drive got the two point conversion. All 336 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they get the ball back and you're 337 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, it's eight and a half minutes to go, 338 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars go three and out at that point. With the 339 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: last play, Quittypey getting a really good pressure on Trevor 340 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Lords forcing it in completion and the Jaguars then punting, 341 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: Colts go down. They get that three points and then 342 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: of course then the Colts really finished the game with 343 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: Dio Dangbo forcing the fumble late that really seals the 344 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: win for the Colts. But we've talked so much Bill 345 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: about the defense needing to finish and finish and finish, 346 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: and today give them credit. They finished. They finished out 347 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: this win in a game where if the Jaguars go 348 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: down and score a touchdown they go win. At that point, Oh, 349 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: I agree with you. The Colts finished today with the 350 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: stops the head of course, getting the turn over there 351 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: at the end there with Dango calling causing a turn 352 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: over there, and it's great to see him come in 353 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: there and play and make a big play and kind 354 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: of close out the game. And it's good for him, 355 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: good for young guys to do that, and knowing that 356 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: the coaches have confidence in you as you're going out 357 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: there playing and get a lot of playing time to 358 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: make the plays to close out the game. So he 359 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: played well and the Coast did a nice job of 360 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: closing up the game. They've talked about this before and 361 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: the Baltimore game that they weren't able to close out. 362 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: So now they come out today at home against a 363 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: division opponent and Jaguars and moving the ball down the field, 364 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: they have a chance to score. Now they have to 365 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: score a touchdown to win the game instead of just 366 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: kicking a field at the tight But give Dangbo and 367 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: the defense credit and give your dango credit for getting 368 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: his first sack. And I'm happy for the young guys, 369 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: not just Dangbo but Quitti Pay also getting his first 370 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: sack and putting pressure on the quarterback and hitting the 371 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: quarterback and getting the hits there. So the guys played. 372 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: The defense played well. They played well today. I thought 373 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: they did a nice job. Yeah, Quitty Pay seven total 374 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: pressure as per Pro Football Focus. So Dangbo head won, 375 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: but it was the most impactful one of the game. 376 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: And then DeForrest Buckner, I mean, yes, he was a 377 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: monster in there again. He had eight total pressures that 378 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: led the Colts. He got a couple of sacks. I 379 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: think he's technically split ones with Quitty and Dio. But 380 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: I mean, here's the guy who was dealing with a 381 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: back injury this week, comes out there, doesn't matter how 382 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: many times he's double team, he goes out and makes 383 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: a huge impact yet again on this game. The defensive 384 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: line that this was one of their better games this season, 385 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: but it kind of follows them having another really impactful 386 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: game against the Jets, even though again if the sack 387 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: totals weren't there, these guys are getting after quarterbacks and 388 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: eventually those things are going to start turning into sacks. 389 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: Likely saw with Quitty pay and DeForrest Buckner today. And 390 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: then hey, how about Taylor Stalworth three three sacks and 391 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: two games for Stally heat. He had one and a 392 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: half sacks in his career coming into week nine. Now 393 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: he's got three this season. You love seeing that out 394 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: of guys, you know, just stepping in in rotational spots 395 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: and making a big impact like a guy like Taylor Stalworth. 396 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: Dead Definitely, you'd love to see those guys doing that, 397 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: and I love to see the rotation that the coach 398 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: used for the defensive line and all speaking of star Wars, 399 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: he had also three quarterback hits as well. So it's 400 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: just good seeing those guys making plays out there and playing. 401 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: And you brought up the Forrest Buckler, and I hate 402 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: to say this, I'm so useless to Forrest making plays. 403 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: I just didn't just didn't say that. He's always making plays. 404 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: It's always going out there and making plays, being impactful 405 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: out there on the field. So of course the Forest 406 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: playing well. You know, got the half sacks, two quarterback 407 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: hits as well, So the guys played well. You know, 408 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Quitty Pay has three quarterback hits and Rochelle got one. 409 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: So the guys were out there playing and making big plays. 410 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: And then you had Star Warth also had a tackle 411 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: full loss as well as Quitty Pay. So the guys 412 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: went out there and played well. That did that defensive line, 413 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: he's doing a job. I think the defensive line and 414 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: the secondary kind of go hand in hand. When when 415 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks about back to the pass, defensive line is 416 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: trying to put pressure on him. If the dbs sticking 417 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: to them man and making it difficult for the quarterbacks 418 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: to make decision, it gives a defensive line that extra 419 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: second to get to the quarterback to hopefully sack him, 420 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: cause a fumble. Or get a quarterback hit, and you 421 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: get enough quarterback hits on the quarterback, eventually he's gonna, 422 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: you know, start flinching a little bit. And when you 423 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: start flinching, that's when the ball goes up and then 424 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: get some turnovers. Yeah, especially a rookie like Trevor Lawrence. 425 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: And on the back end of the defense, the coverage 426 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: was excellent. Rocky Scene did not allow a catch today 427 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: per Pro Football Focus, and that wasn't just because you know, 428 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: he wasn't. He was only targeted three times, but first 429 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: play that he was targeted in the first quarter looked 430 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence had Jamal Agnew for a pretty good 431 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: chunk gain on third Naight and rock stayed with it, 432 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: made a really nice play to break up the pass. 433 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: And then Ken Moore had a really really good game. 434 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: Like I mentioned earlier, he dropped that interception early, came back, 435 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: made a number of really good plays. The pass breakup 436 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: he had after that, you know, it was just textbook 437 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: coverage driving down in the slot. And Kenny again against 438 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: the run, really solid. Yet again, he continues to be 439 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: a really really good run defender in the NFL. You 440 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: love to see this out of the secondary, especially without 441 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes. You know, when you got contributions from guys 442 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: like Kenny and Rock, Isaiah Rodgers having a really solid 443 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: game in coverage too, you really like to see that 444 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: when you lose a veteran in Xavier Rhodes. For this game, 445 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: oh definitely, the guys had a step up today. You know, 446 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: when they lose Xavier Roade, you you kind of have 447 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: an idea that they're going to try to go after 448 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: the guy that comes in, and whoever it may be, TJ. Carey, 449 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: whoever was playing out there, they were gonna try to 450 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: go after him. But the defensive backs played well today. 451 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: The one that the player that I like a lot 452 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: is was I should say two players. The one early 453 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: in the game, as you talked about Agne was Rock 454 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: went for the ball. He got his hand in there. 455 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: The guy acting actually had his hands on the ball, 456 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: but I think Rock got his hands in there and 457 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: made it difficult for Acting to hold onto the ball. 458 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: And when they hit the ground, the ball came out. 459 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: So that was a good play by Rock. And then 460 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, I mean, any college player, any high school 461 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: player playing that position, playing beef the back, that was 462 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: a teaching reel. How Kenny Moore played that against Marvin 463 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: Jones on third down. Played it well, good leverage when 464 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and made his break, Kenny made his break, 465 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: got his hand in there, did not impede the receiver 466 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: to get a pass interference and knock the ball down. 467 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: Perfect player on third down. Great job by Kenney Moore 468 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: to stop him. So and then they had a punt 469 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: and we got the ball back. And those are the 470 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: players you need on third down. You need to get 471 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: the teams off the field on third down. So hopefully 472 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: you didn't get the ball back, and the Coast did 473 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: a good job of that. I forget the total st 474 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: that of what they were. I think Jacksonville was five 475 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: or fifteen on third down, so only thirty and that 476 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: is a good number four defense to only allow five 477 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: first down on third down. And by the way, that 478 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: player you're talking about with Kenny Moore, if that pass 479 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: is completed, the Jaguars get the ball right around midfield 480 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: with a fresh set of downs. That was one of 481 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: those drives in the second quarter I was talking about 482 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: Bill where the Colts are able to force a three 483 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: and out despite the Jaguars having good fuel position. Again, 484 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: it's those one or two plays that when they go 485 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: the Colts way, those are huge plays in a six 486 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: point game against a divisional opponent. And speaking of huge plays, 487 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: I mean the Zaire Franklin punt block. I don't know 488 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: if you caught this bill after the game, but it 489 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: sounds like Bubba Ventrone could special teams coordinator was like 490 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: telling everyone who would listen that the Cults are going 491 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: to block a punt, specifically Zaire Franklin this week, because 492 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: frank Reich said it. Zaire said Bubba texted him on 493 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: Monday of last week, so like right when you get 494 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: into Jaguars tape, like, hey man, you're gonna go block 495 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: a punt, and Zaire was like, you know, I had 496 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: to go reward him for his confidence in me. But 497 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: that's again, we're just talking about different contributions from different 498 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: areas in a divisional game. You love to see something 499 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: like that, especially if it got Xaire Franklin. He talked 500 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: about this today too. You remember against Tennessee in Week three, 501 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: he came close to blocking a punt, got hit for 502 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: roughing the kicker. The Titans get a fresh set of downs. 503 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: But he was talking about how after that the defense 504 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: was like, hey man, we got you, we got you. 505 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: And later in that drive Rocky scene forced to fumble. 506 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: Zayre today was like, I wanted to make sure I 507 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: played the defense back at some point for that, and 508 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: he did that today with blocking that punt. EJ speed, 509 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just a mad scramble for the football, him 510 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: picking it up, stiff armed a dude getting into the 511 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: end zone. The Colts, by the way, Bill, they have 512 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: now scored six touchdowns on punts since Bubba Ventrone became 513 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: the special team's coordinator. That's an insane amount of touchdowns 514 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: and four years on punts. I mean, those should be 515 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: relatively routine plays for the opposition, and the Colts every 516 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: single year are making stuff happen on those plays. Yeah. 517 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: And the funny thing about it is, for the most part, 518 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: most teams kind of take a punt, a kind of 519 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: take it for grant. A lot of people take it 520 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 1: for grant, just like they take extra point for granted 521 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: that it's always going to happen. Well, Jacksonville missed an 522 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: extra point today. We gotta block punt today. Those things 523 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: add up over the years if you keep on doing 524 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: those like you said, there's six touchdowns since Bubba Patrum 525 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: have been Special Teams coach. I'm a big fan of 526 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: Bubba Trump's as like his energy first of all, watching 527 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: him at practice, watching him of the things that he does, 528 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: how excited he is for his team, and the confidence 529 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: he gives those guys, telling ansire, hey, you're gonna get 530 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: a block punt at it this week. He understands what 531 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jackals were trying to do in their scheme, 532 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: but he had something ready for them that, hey, we 533 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: found the weakness in their scheme that we can go 534 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: and attack it and eventually hopefully block a punt. And 535 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: they got one. They got one early. It came right 536 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: away and back up in their own end zone and E. J. 537 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: Speed picked up and scored a tesdown. Those are the 538 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: type of plays that teams need when things aren't going well. Now, 539 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: the Colts were playing well at that point, but you 540 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen, which the Coats had 541 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: little trouble installed a little bit offensively as scoring points. 542 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: But you make plays like that, those are the players 543 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: that are going to put you at the top to 544 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: get you two wins when you need two wins. When 545 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the offense or defense is not playing 546 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: as well as they want to play. All right, So 547 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: last thing here. Bill frank Reich after the game talked 548 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: about what the Colts mindset is and he said, essentially, 549 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: you look at the AFC and no team has really 550 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: stepped away with it. I think probably Tennessee. I think 551 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: you could probably say they have at eight and two 552 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: after beating New Orleans today, But after that, I mean, 553 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: the AFC is a wide open book. And frank Reich said, 554 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: well why not us? Why not the Indianapolis Colts to 555 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: take over that they've climbed back from owen three and 556 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: one in four to now'll be five and five. And 557 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: you look around the league. Some of the results today 558 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: kind of went the Colts way. I mean, the Minnesota 559 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: Vikings beating the Los Angeles Chargers in Los Angeles, that's 560 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: a result that went the Colts way. The Eagles going 561 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: and stomping the Broncos thirty to thirteen at Mile High 562 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: that's a result that went the Colts way. Even the 563 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: Steelers without Ben Roethlisberger tying with the Detroit Lions in Pittsburgh. 564 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: That's another result that you can say went the Colts away. 565 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: The Colts still needs some you know, they probably will 566 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: need some help from results like this, But the NFL 567 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: has been so up and down this year that even 568 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: when you look at this game against the Jaguars, I mean, 569 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: any win right now in the AFC is a good win. 570 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a bad win when you 571 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: look at the AFC playoff picture, because I mean, the 572 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills just lost to this Jaguars team. You know, 573 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: the even you look at the NFC, I mean, Washington 574 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: beats Tampa outright today, like it has been a wild 575 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: season of parody. So any game that you win at 576 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: this point is a big one. And now not five 577 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: and five Bill, The Colts will go into Buffalo feeling 578 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: more confident in themselves as a team because of everything 579 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: we just talked about that they were able to win 580 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: in these different ways, whether it was on defense, it 581 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: was on special teams, or even Michael Pittman junior making 582 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: that play at the end of the game. Well, like 583 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: Frank said, pretty much, why not why not the ending 584 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: out those Colts because you feel like now, right now 585 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: you're back in the mix of things as far as 586 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 1: hopefully getting a chance to get a wild card. You 587 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: put a string of wins together in November and get 588 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: some wins in December as well. Who knows what can happen. 589 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: You get right in there for the wild card spot. Yeah, 590 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee is playing Tennessee credit, they're playing well, They're doing 591 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 1: a good job of playing well. Win the games they 592 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: need to win. But after that, a bunch of teams 593 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: are right there, bunch together four or five and five. 594 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: With those records, you win your games, the games you 595 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: know you need to win, and win the crucial games. 596 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: You still have an opportunity to get into the playoffs. 597 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: And then once you get into the playoffs, especially in 598 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: the AFC, anything can go, and anything goes because you 599 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: just don't know what's going to happen, because you know, 600 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: one week one team is the highest team in the 601 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: NFL as far as in the AFC. Then the next 602 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: week they've lost two a big game to someone they 603 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't have lost to. So you don't know what's going 604 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: to happen. And then when you get in the playoffs, 605 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: anything can happen. You just go out there, you play, 606 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: you play well, and then you become the hot team 607 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: during the playoffs. You get on the run. You can 608 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: get yourself into the super Bowl that way. All right, Well, 609 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: we are going to have plenty coming to you guys 610 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: leading up to the Colts Bills game in week eleven. 611 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: Stay with us here on the Colts Audio Network.
