1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, good evening, everybody. Welcome to

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the Colts Daily Update on Matt Taylor. We got a

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: ton to get into the night before the Pacers take

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: on the seventy six ers. Here on the fan Pacer

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: pregame takes over at bottom of the hour. First off,

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: the NFL continues to react and process the situation regarding

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who has taken off the field

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: via an ambulance on Monday night football against the Bengals

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. The Bill has released a statement this afternoon

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: that reads Damar remains in the ICU and critical condition,

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: with signs of improvement noted yesterday and overnight. He has

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: expected to remain under intensive care as his healthcare team

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: continues to monitor and treat him. So not only does

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: this injury affect the two teams on the field on

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Monday night, but it also sent shockways into every NFL

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: locker room, including the Colts. And today, Jeff Saturday met

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: with the media and admitted that the situation regarding hand

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: one that was the most frightening one he's seen in

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: all of his days around football. I mean, yeah, I

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: think you know, listen, I've been around the game a

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: long time. I've never seen anything like that. That's that's

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: as scary as I've ever seen. And I can't imagine

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: being on the field. I can't imagine the coaching staff,

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: the players, the the opposing to everybody. I mean, you know,

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: you see a lot happen on the field, but something

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: as tragic and devastating as that is not norm And

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: so I think that shook all of us, our families,

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there with my wife and my daughter.

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: They're in tears. I talked to a number of players

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: and their families and significant others, and they were emotional,

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: because it does. It drives home the risk every time

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: you walk on that field. And I told the guys

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: this morning how grateful I was to them every day

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: they come out and put their health on the line,

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: but again, never expecting something like that. And I think

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: everybody would agree it's such a rarity, but does does

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: drive the point home of how real this is is

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: and how how dangerous this game can be at times.

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: And so again, just just lifting this young man up

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: and his full recovery and his mom and family and friends.

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: We've have a number of guys here who are close

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to him and know him and so well. I addressed

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: it with the team this morning. I prayed with the

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: team this morning, like when I tell you it is

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: a it is a shaking, shaking you to the core

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: event in your life. That that is not an overstatement

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: to what we just witnessed. That's Jeff Saturday on the

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin situation. And the player in the Colts locker

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: room that's the closest to Hamlin, that's rookie safety Rodney Thomas.

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: Hamlin and Thomas were actually teammates at Central Catholic High

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: School in Pittsburgh. They went to the same high school.

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Hamlin was a great older in school, but they've got

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: a brotherlike relationship as they grew up together. And on Tuesday,

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Thomas drove to Cincinnati to visit his former high school

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: teammate in the hospital, and according to Thomas, the two

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: speak on the phone every day. They keep in close contact,

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: and today Thomas told reporters what kind of person DeMar

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Hamlin is as he fights during his condition. But if

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: you just see all of like the reactions, all the

62
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: support and all of just everything that's just like piled

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: up behind him, and they just supporting him and they

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: just want to see him and succeed and just want

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: to see him win. That on the large scale is

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: exactly how it was on the small scale, just around

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: us and like around the city, just around the people

68
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: that knew him. He's just like the most like genuine

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: person that you could ever like come across. No hidden motives,

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: no nothing. He just wants to see the people that like,

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: the people that care about him, he wants to see

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: them succeed. The people that don't care about him, he

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: wants to see him succeed. He's just that type of

74
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: guy and he just he lives his life like that.

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: That's Rodney Thomas on the character of Damar Hamlin. And

76
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: as we said, the moment on Monday night that touched

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: every player inside the NFL and team captain for the

78
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: Colt Zaire Franklin spoke today about how he reacted to

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin's hit that he took on Monday night. And

80
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, I saw that hit um and myself I

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: noticed that he was down before. It was a big

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: deal just from TV M. I didn't see him fall.

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I just knew he was down, but I knew he

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: got hit in the chest basically how the tackle was.

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: And the tackle was a routine. It was a good tackle,

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Like I make that tackle a bunch of times. Um.

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, just as he's down, you know,

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: from a television standpoint, you watching and you're like, all right,

89
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: commercial break, you know, and then it's oh, no, he's

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: still down, and then it's you know, we got to

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 1: get out of here. Then you see guys breaking down

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: and said and I'm like, oh man, it's got to

93
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: be some of his heart. So, um man, it's just

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: extremely difficult, hard to deal, hard to see, hard to play. Um.

95
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, just as a player and as

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: a guy who has to go out and play on Sunday, I'm,

97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, a little numb to it, just because you know,

98
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: this is our profession and that's just how I feel

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: like I deal with things. It just moved through him. Um.

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: But um you know, just hearing from other guys in

101
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: the league, and um, you know, hearing from guys from Cincinnati,

102
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: hearing from as some Buffalo about what that felt like,

103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: on what it was like to just a kind of

104
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: experience and being around. Man, it's a tough situation, and

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: Demarch is being from Pennsylvania, another Christian. I'm at Catholic school,

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Central Catholic. It's really just a Pittsburgh version of

107
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: my high school, so we were very familiar with them.

108
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's tough. I played against him at

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: pitt didn't know him personally, never really probably even interacted

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: with him. But I always respecting this game, and you know,

111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: you don't wish that had to happen to anybody. But

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: you know, Harry still fighting. The hair is doing somewhat better,

113
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: but he's in it, and we all pull them farm

114
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: for shore at Zaire Franklin, Colts linebacker who along with

115
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the Colts locker room, trying to compartmentalize

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the Hamlin situation and also getting ready for Week eighteen

117
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: against the Texans. Simultaneously. During the pandemic, Hamlin established the

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin Community Toy Drive as a Go fund me

119
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: campaign aimed at raising twenty five hundred dollars, and given

120
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: his circumstances, now people all over the country, all over

121
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: the world actually have donated over five and a half

122
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: million dollars to that fund, and it's growing by the minute.

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Several NFL teams have donated to it in the last

124
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: couple of days, including the Colts. Jim Ersey contributed twenty

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: five thousand and three dollars this afternoon, and that three

126
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: extra dollars, of course, is in tribute to Hamlin's number

127
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: three jersey number elsewhere. The NFL Network reported today that

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: there's been no decision on whether to resume the Bills

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and Bengals game from Monday night at a later day.

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: The NFL will consult with the two teams and make

131
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: a determination on that in the coming days. From a

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: football standpoint, it's going to be really interesting and also

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: quite frankly confusing to see how the NFL seeds the

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: playoffs if the Bengals and Bills only play sixteen games

135
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: compared to seventeen games from everybody else in the AFC

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: playoff field. As for the Colts, they know they're playing

137
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: at one o'clock on Sunday against the Houston Texans and

138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the regular season finale at Lucas Oil Stadium. Both teams

139
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: are having very disappointing seasons. The Colts are on a

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: six game slide. The Texans are two thirteen and one,

141
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: and they can clinch the number one overall pick in

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: the draft if they lose to the Colts on Sunday.

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: The only other team that can claim the number one

144
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: overall pick. That's the Chicago Bears. If the Texans win,

145
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: they would need the Bears to beat the Vikings this weekend.

146
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: So how are the Colts drawing inspiration going into this

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: game with the playoffs not of the cards. Again, here's

148
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin for that perspective. It's funny. I was just

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: telling the guys, you know, in a similar sense of

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: what I just said. And in three weeks you're going

151
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: to be sitting at home watching the playoffs, piss wishing

152
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: you could just show up the practice. And I think

153
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: when you're going into a last game, no, you're not

154
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. Man, I'm just I'm just Mars going

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: out there and just playing, having fun, you know what

Speaker 1: we out there, let's compete, you know, let's just let's

163
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: go after it. So that's just really high go about

164
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: it at Zaire Franklin, Colts linebacker heading into week number eighteen.

165
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. This is the Colts Daily update tonight,

166
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: and the Coults are changing quarterbacks on Sunday. Nick Fole

167
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: suffered rib injuries on Sunday against the Giants, so sam

168
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: Ellinger will start the regular season finale with Matt Ryan

169
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: backing him up. It's been a wild wild ride for

170
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: sam Ellinger this year in terms of the roster. Started

171
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the season as the third quarterback on the active roster,

172
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: then inactive for the first five games of the season.

173
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: He was then moved to the backup quarterback behind Matt

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Ryan for weeks six and seven. Then he started weeks

175
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: eight and nine after the team said it was going

176
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: to turn to him for the rest of the season

177
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback. Then Frank Reich gets let go

178
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday's brought in. Matt Ryan then takes over again

179
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: as the starter for three games with Ellinger as the backup.

180
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: In weeks thirteen and fifteen, Ellinger was the third quarterback

181
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: inactive on game day. Then he was the backup quarterback

182
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: again a week sixteen and seventeen behind Nick Foles, and

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: now with Foles's injury, he's the starter in week number eighteen.

184
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: What a wild journey, wild ride for Sam Ellinger who

185
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: today try to put it all together with reporters. Yeah,

186
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's not easy. It's been a it's been

187
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: a roller coaster for sure. Um, you know, going into

188
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: this year, this was certainly not the expectation. But um,

189
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: it's what I told you guys a few weeks ago.

190
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: He always preparing like the starter and regardless of the situation,

191
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, start of the year, as the three went

192
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: to the two, then the one, then the two, then

193
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: the three, then the two, now the one again. So

194
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: that's quite a roller coaster literally, but you know, trying

195
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: to stay stay consistent through my routine and all of that, um,

196
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, trying to you know, learn from every every opportunity.

197
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: That's Sam Ellinger's second year quarterback for the Colts, trying

198
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: to find Michael Pittman Junior. On Sunday against the Texans.

199
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: For Pittman, he's only four catches away from one hundred

200
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: receptions for the season, and if he does that, he'll

201
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: become just the fourth Colts player ever with a one

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: hundred catches in a season, joining Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison,

203
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: and Dallas Clark. Also with one hundred and five receiving

204
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: yards for Pittman, on Sunday, he will reach one thousand

205
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: receiving yards for the second consecutive season, and he would

206
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: become the fourth player in franchise history to have consecutive

207
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: one thousand yard receiving seasons, joining t Y Hilton, Reggie Wayne,

208
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison. On defense, watch out for Zaire Franklin.

209
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: He only needs four tackles to pass Shaquille Leonard for

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the most tackles by a Colts player in single season

211
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: franchise history. That's a big, big deal for Zaire considering

212
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: this is his first year as a starter. He's played

213
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: in one hundred percent of the snaps in fifteen of

214
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: sixteen games, and today talked about what that accomplishment would

215
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: mean to him a time, you know, you know, just

216
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, the journey that I've been through here,

217
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the Colts. You know, all the highs

218
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: and lows, and you know, just from my first real

219
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to be able to set a new record and

220
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: set a new snap and that means a ton. But

221
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, at the same time, it's just like, man,

222
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: it makes me question how good I really can be.

223
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: You know, I just I got a lot of work

224
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: to do, and there's so many things I want to

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: improve on. But you know, sometimes you gotta sit back

226
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: and just be thankful for the for the journey at

227
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Zayre Franklin on the cusp of setting the Colts single

228
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: season tackle record. Another player for the Colts having a

229
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: great year, Paris Campbell, trying to finish it off in

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Prior to this season, he'd only been healthy

231
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: for fifteen games in three years combined due to a

232
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: myriad of injuries. This year, though he's played in every game.

233
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: He's posted a career high five hundred and eighty one

234
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: receiving yards three touchdowns, and today talked about what this

235
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: year has meant to him and the joy that he's

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: found again in football. I mean, I'm having a blast.

237
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, this is this is what I signed up for.

238
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: This is what I've dreamed of doing. And it's funny

239
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: because obviously after every loss, I mean, y'all can imagine

240
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: how I go home and take that to my wife.

241
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: She's probably tired of me by now. But one thing

242
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: she always she never she never lets me forget that.

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm healthy, I'm playing, and you know, I'm

244
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: making the most of my opportunities. You know what I mean.

245
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: She never lets me forget that, and I'm grateful for

246
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: her for that. UM. But it really, you know, just

247
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of put it in perspective for me. UM, just

248
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: everything that I've been through. UM. Obviously, like you said,

249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: the season is what it is, but like everything that

250
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I've been through, UM, to be here standing healthy, UM,

251
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: going into you know, free agency, having put togethers UM,

252
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, a good season for myself. You know, like

253
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: I have no worries, you know, I have no concerns. UM,

254
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm not stretched out about anything. I'm able to just

255
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of relax and you know, whatever happens, whatever guy

256
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: has a store for me, That's that's what it is.

257
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: So I'm at peace with that. That's Paris Campbell on

258
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: the Colts Daily Update tonight. The Colts made some roster

259
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: moves today. They place cornerback Kenny Moore the second on

260
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: IR this afternoon, and simultaneously signed defensive end Rashad Barry

261
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: off of the Jaguars practice squad. For Kenny Moore, he's

262
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: missed the last four games with an ankle injury, so

263
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: his season is over. And for Barry, he spent the

264
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: entire season so far on the Jags practice squad, hasn't

265
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: seen any game action here in twenty twenty two, and

266
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: he's a third year player out of Ohio State. So
