Speaker 1: team is doing in this training camp. But I just

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: got a blanket statement. I just want to start with guys,

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: You're back. Yeah, I am back, and I feel good

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: about this when I don't seem rejuvenated a little bit,

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: a little fresh, you know, I got a little pop

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: in my step. But I'm just gonna say the blanket

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: statement is I love to talk about what's going on

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: in Colts camp about some things and others. I just

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's even uh my my, what what? What's

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for? Is it my lane to

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna try and stay in my lane when

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Jonathan Taylor and what's going on with

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: the Colts, I don't want to speak on behalf of her,

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: say Chris ballor Chainstike at anybody in that locker room

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: and stuff. It's all I'm gonna be doing was asking

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: questions on that. So I'm just saying, let's enjoy what

35
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: we have here in camp, not what we don't have

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: here in Camp Lera, and we're gonna find the good

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: spots there. I'm convinced they're gonna work everything out and

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be happy. But I just don't feel like

39
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: going over a twenty minute dissertation on where we're at

40
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: up to this point when so much good is going

41
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: on this field.

42
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: I agree because from a national level, everybody wants to

43
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: prognosticate and weigh in and have their takes on what's

44
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: being said, or you know, almost try to overassess certain

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 3: things where this part of the season is where you

46
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: were highlighting the guys who.

47
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: Are on the field doing all the great work.

48
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: So that's what the purposes of this podcast is because

49
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: there's a.

50
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: Whole lot of good right now in It's been a

51
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: good camp so far.

52
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: Great's been a good camp. When you look at what's

53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: going on on the field. Man, it's it's physical, it's competitive. Uh,

54
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 5: but it's not it's not there's not any uh what's

55
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 5: the word. I'm looking for animosity there you go, thank you. Uh,

56
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: there's not animosity like Gardner Minshew, you know, slices and

57
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 5: dices the defense today and no one's you know, sumping

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: their shoulders or yelling. You know, Gardner's going to Anthony

59
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: Richardson's the first guy to give him a high five.

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: Like it's a fun vibe out here that the Colts

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 5: have so far.

62
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Minshew and he is, you know, kind

63
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: of the leader in the clubhouse when he comes to

64
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: setting the tone, obviously running the OTA sessions the way

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: he did not coming out here to a place he's

66
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: unfamiliar with, but he knows training camp. So we're gonna

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: get into the quarterbacks. Trust me on this one. Also

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: coming up on today's show, we're gonna get you up

69
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: to speed on the Colts after these five training camp practices.

70
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: Don't forget we had a night practice that was full

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: of energy and not to get another one coming up

72
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday at six to eight up here at Grand Park.

73
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: We're a couple of full days in pass sure.

74
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: First day in pads today Today the boys are back

75
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: for real. We're also gonna take a look at the

76
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: offense with Anthony Richardson and well spoken of earlier Gardner

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Minshew splitting the first team reps. Are also going to

78
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: talk about how some top position battles are going. I

79
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: see Michael Stroan out there making some plays. See the

80
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: rookie Josh Downs out there making some plays. And I

81
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: bring up Josh Downs because he will be coming up

82
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: on this podcast in a little bit. Casey Value and

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I had a moment to catch up with the youngster

84
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: from North Carolina and it's a good one. He's a

85
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: good kid. Not only that a great guy off the field,

86
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: but boy, what a player. And we're gonna get more

87
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: into him. Finally, we're gonna talk about those position battles

88
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: on again.

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 6: JJ.

90
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Starting with you, Shane Stikeen's trying to set a culture

91
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: in any training camp as a head coach, and you know,

92
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: first day at pads is so big in these rooms.

93
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Guys are starting to knock heads and everything, but the

94
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: culture and that goes to being you know, on time

95
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: for meetings and everything and knowing where you're at. He's

96
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: a rook too when it comes to it. So far,

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: so good, almost a week through camp. When it comes

98
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: to Shane Stike and running this Colt Mini camp here

99
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Colt Training camp rather up here at Westfield.

100
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 5: I think some of the things you look for with

101
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: a first year head coach or you know, is is

102
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: practice crisp? Are there a lot of procedural penalties? Are

103
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: guys getting lined up in the wrong place? Are they,

104
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: you know, looking like they're not prepared? And you haven't

105
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 5: really seen any of that. There haven't been a lot

106
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: of penalties. There haven't been a lot of you know,

107
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: coaches screaming at the top of their lungs for a

108
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 5: guy to get in a drill. And it's been pretty

109
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 5: crisp and I think that comes from Shane Stike in

110
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 5: setting that that accountability within the building. You know, it's

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 5: coming from the head coach. You got to be on it,

112
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: and if you're not, we'll find someone else who is.

113
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 5: That mentality has really helped this team as you get

114
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: through the early part of training camp. And Lara, I

115
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: know you you've been asking some questions today in the

116
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: press conference just about the intensity that it's now starting

117
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: to foster.

118
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: And you saw it.

119
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: On Saturday night in that first night practice that Jeffrey

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: noted the message from coach Stike in the night before

121
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: and then the day of of that practice, the message was, Hey, guys,

122
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna get after it. We're gonna hit it hard

123
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: to get a day off tomorrow, and then we're gonna

124
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: ramp things back up. And I thought that you had

125
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: really seen a strategic ramp up period of intensity, because

126
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: that's one of the things you have to be smart

127
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: about in camp is you can't ramp things up too

128
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: quickly because guys are just kind of progressing back in

129
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: to fitness and get into playing shape after having the

130
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: off season training, getting back into you know, making contact

131
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: once again. And I thought that what you have seen JJ,

132
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: to your point is that things have been really disciplined,

133
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: and guys respond really well. These practices move, they are

134
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: a very rapid pace, They're a demanding pace, and I

135
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: think that the players are responding very well to that.

136
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: I was on NFL Network for Back Together Saturday and

137
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: they were asking about Shane Steikeen, and one of the

138
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: things that I said that I've noticed, particularly in training camp,

139
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: but even going back to OTAs, is that guys like

140
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: to play hard for him, He makes guys want to

141
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: play hard and be physically. He loves to use the

142
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: word relentless as one of those pillars, and I think

143
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: you are seeing his team embrace that and embody that

144
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: in the way that they are thriving in this increased

145
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: intensity that we've seen over these last three days of work.

146
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: In particular, I.

147
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Want to I want to ask you guys just we

148
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: talked about these position battles, which they'd love to follow,

149
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: but boy, oh boy, I want to stick on the

150
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. If you guys can enlighten

151
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: me just a little bit. We got new faces on

152
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: the defensive line, we got an old face returning in

153
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the linebacker position and Shaq Leonard fifty three, who's been

154
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: all over the field this training camp, and the secondary

155
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: which is young wo sort of hobbled a little bit

156
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Obviously coming out of OTA's with

157
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: high draft pick. So I just want to stick out

158
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: for a second on the defensive side of the ball, JJ,

159
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I ask you, this defensive line has to get back

160
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. I mean, Philadelphia's Philadelphia. They've done what

161
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: they did for years and Stiken knows he was part

162
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: of that staff. This defensive line led by DeForest Buckner.

163
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: In this camp, what do you see.

164
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 5: I'm starting to see some really good depth with that group.

165
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: This defensive line needs to be eight deep. You need

166
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: to be able to rotate guys in so when you

167
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: get to the fourth quarter you can finish. That was

168
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: something that this defense did struggle with the times last

169
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: year where they they weren't able to put games away.

170
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: You think about the Eagles game where Shane Stikeen was

171
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: the offensive coordinator and you know Philly drives down scores

172
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 5: the game winning touchdown of a couple seconds left on

173
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: the clock. You know, getting after the quarterback and not

174
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: just the problem last year for the Colts wasn't getting sex.

175
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 5: They were tenth in the NFL in sex, but the

176
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: consistent pressure wasn't quite there from the defensive line, and

177
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: I think you can chalk that up to some depth issues.

178
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: And you're starting to see now guys like you know,

179
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: at a Tommy Wide a bare coming on David Bryan

180
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: had a pretty impressive I went over to watch one

181
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 5: on ones and he started off with a pretty impressive

182
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: pass rush. You know, you're starting to see some of

183
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: that come through Dio dangbo Quity pay. You know, Samson

184
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 5: Debacom will be back out here at some point. He's

185
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: dealing with a hamstring right now, but you're starting to

186
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: see the makings of a defensive line that can go

187
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 5: as deep as the Colts want it. One other quick

188
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: thing on the D line today, the last rep of

189
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: one on once the whistle blew on the other field,

190
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 5: all right, let's get back over here for eleven on eleven,

191
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: there's one more rep left. Grover Stewart just bodies his

192
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: way in there and goes I want to go up

193
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: because it's Quentin Nelson on the other side. And that

194
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: was a physical rep that was awesome to see. I'm

195
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: not smart enough to tell you who exactly want it,

196
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: but it looked like they both want it because they

197
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: were going after pretty hard even up you know, past

198
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: the whistle on that I saw it.

199
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson in the lunch room, hate you. He gave

200
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: me just the nod up. It wasn't even the nod down,

201
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe he was still ticked off from

202
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: the one on ones earlier. He didn't have much to

203
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: say to me, Lara. We talked about this all off season,

204
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: the differential from takeaways from one year to the next. Yeah,

205
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: and we saw last year not a lot year before

206
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: we had a ton, but that also a lot falls

207
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: on the back of fifty three this linebacker corps, especially

208
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: seeing him out there moving around, getting back to what

209
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: we're used to it as far as Shack Leonard goes.

210
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: And that's a conversation that I was just listening to

211
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: from yesterday that Jeffrey you had and Matt Taylor had

212
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: with Shaq Leonard in which he was very candid about

213
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: the process, the very diligent routine that it took for

214
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: him to get back onto the field. Because think about

215
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: those lingering questions that we had in June after not

216
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: seeing Shaquille Leonard on the field since November, since that

217
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: second surgery that he had, and we did not know

218
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: what to expect when he reported to camp, or how

219
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: he would look when he got to camp, what type

220
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: of pitch count he might be on.

221
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: And you know, he.

222
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: Said in the first day of media availability that he

223
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: asked to be honest and working with the training staff

224
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: more and with the coaching staff and allowed them to say, Okay,

225
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: this is where we are for the We're at a

226
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: good point. And then rather than his trying to plead

227
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: his case to do more and more and more, he's

228
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: certainly gained a bit of perspective. And because he was

229
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: candid that first day and saying that I probably forced

230
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: it last year. I forced myself back and he had

231
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: an immense amount of pressure externally but also even more

232
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: so internally to want to make a contribution to this team.

233
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: And I think it's been incredibly encouraging. There have been

234
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: a few days in which they have limited some of

235
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: Shaq's snaps in the full team period, but overall, for

236
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: him to be at the level that he is and

237
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: to see how much how active he is in practice,

238
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: I think is incredibly encouraging working within this defense. He

239
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: is he is a monster in terms of takeaways. He's

240
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: also just a guy that other teams that offenses have

241
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: to account for when he's on the field. So even

242
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: just the amount of attention that he commands is significant

243
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: as he is beginning to turn back into or he

244
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 3: can round back into form that you expect him to

245
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: play at.

246
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: Two quick things, This is the most fans have seen

247
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 5: from Shaquille Leonard during this part of trade camp. How

248
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 5: many days, well, I don't know how many days, like

249
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 5: a year and a half now longer than that twenty nineteen,

250
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: because remember twenty twenty, well was COVID year. No one

251
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: could show up to camp twenty twenty one, he didn't

252
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 5: participate until about midway through camp twenty two he was

253
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: on pup. And now twenty three, this is the first

254
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 5: time he's been out there in the first week of

255
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 5: training camp in I mean probably twenty twenty, but it's

256
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 5: been a while. And then on top of what Lara

257
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: you were saying about him testing the offense, I asked

258
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 5: Gardner Minshew last week, like okay, you've gone against him

259
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: in games, Like what challenge does he present you? And

260
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: it's just like Gardner said, like he's always there, like

261
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 5: he's always in the right place, and he will deceive

262
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: you into throwing him the ball. And Gardner's like, there's

263
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: no better practice for a quarterback than going up against

264
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: fifty three when he's out there. So for Gardner, Minshew,

265
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 5: for Anthony Richardson, even if it's seven on seven in check,

266
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: isn't quite ready to be out there in eleven on eleven.

267
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 5: That's a really good benefit for these guys as Gardner's

268
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 5: you know, getting used to his teammates and as Anthony's

269
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 5: learning this offense in the NFL.

270
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: And conversely with the Colts defense. One of the things

271
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: we heard Quitty Pay talk about in terms of going

272
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: up against Anthony Richardson was out demoralizing it is as

273
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: a defense to try to wrap a guy like that

274
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: up who has that degree of mobility.

275
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: So you think about how great of.

276
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: A test this has been for that defensive front as

277
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: we emphasize the need to disrupt the quarterback and improve

278
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: upon that. You know, the sack numbers, and the takeaway

279
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 3: is this is the absolute best test of where that

280
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: group is right now. To have the type of competition

281
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: that we're seeing. And then you look head to when

282
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: you bring in Chicago and you have Justin Fields in here, man,

283
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: you feel that they should be well anticipating what Justin

284
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: Fields is gonna do because you have that type of

285
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: mobility and dual threat capacity with an Anthony Richardson and

286
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: a Gardner menstrument.

287
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: And by the way, Anthony Richardson told us today he's

288
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: been oscillating between about two hundred and forty eight two

289
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty two pounds. He's still moving like he's

290
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 5: like two forty out there. Do you talk about not

291
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 5: being able to bring a guy down like just that

292
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 5: that ability to you know, a defensive tackle gets his

293
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 5: paw on you in the pocket and you don't just

294
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: immediately go down. That's that counts for something when when

295
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 5: you're trying to navigate pockets as a rookie. And yeah,

296
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 5: I feel like I see it from Joe Burrow a

297
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 5: lot where Burrow he's like two thirty and a defensive

298
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 5: end or a tackle, WI get it. He get his

299
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: hand on Burrow's leg and Burrow he just glides off him.

300
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Wow.

301
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: Like, if Anthony Richardson can be able to do that

302
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: and be that kind of presence in the pocket where okay,

303
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: even if you get to him, even you get a

304
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: hand on him, you have to do a lot more

305
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: to bring him down and then he can roll out,

306
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: you know, affect to play role right, exactly like Josh Allen.

307
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the same thing.

308
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 5: And then he just like you know, guts you with

309
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: a sixty yard bomb to Alec Pearce and you're like,

310
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: how we should have won that? Rude, But all of

311
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 5: a sudden, there it is, there goes the ball into

312
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: the end zone for a touchdown.

313
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about his feet yet, because you know,

314
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: he's an exciting you know when he carries the ball

315
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: as well. If there's a broken player, we're we're gonna

316
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: expect a lot of those this year out of Anthony Richardson.

317
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: If there's a play that breaks down and he's got

318
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: six seconds behind, he still can't find a guy and

319
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: finds a lane, lookout for forty. I want to switch

320
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: over to the quarterbacks while we're here. Is there anything

321
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: that you guys, I'll start with you. Is there anything

322
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: based on what you've seen up to this point that

323
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: there's a direction for this quarterback battle? And we haven't

324
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: even started at Buffalo yet the first preseason game. I

325
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: know it's the first week, but huss is thing iron

326
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: and out as far as playing time in the in

327
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: the preseason and more importantly September tenth, How does that

328
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: iron a long.

329
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: Way to go to September tenth.

330
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: And one thing we heard coach sdike and say was

331
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: they were going to continue to mix up those first

332
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: team reps between Gardner and Anthony, and I think you

333
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: will see that continue into, you know, leading up to

334
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: the Buffalo game, and you'll see a clearer indication next

335
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: week of who's going to start that game and then

336
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: how they will you know, divvy up the reps in

337
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: the game as well. And what I think is you're

338
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but I

339
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: think in terms of September tenth, you'll start to get

340
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: a clearer indication of what the direction is when you

341
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: get to those joint practices. We heard Shansike Shaneesdeyke and

342
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: say today, just you know how much how int those are,

343
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: how critical those joint practices are, the degree of work

344
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: and the degree of assessment and evaluation you can get

345
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: out of those type of joint practices. So I think

346
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: we will start to see more clarity on the starting

347
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: quarterback role come the regular season, come the you know,

348
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: kickoff to the regular season, that season opener, when we

349
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: get to that point. But right now, I think the

350
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: good thing is you've got a good problem on your

351
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: hand in the sense that both of these quarterbacks and

352
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: then plus you have CM Melnger as well, But both

353
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson and Gardner Minshew have shown the ability to

354
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: be the leader, to command this offense, to be that starter.

355
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: So now it's up to, you know, Coach Steichen and

356
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: Jim Bob Cooter to decide who it's going to be

357
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: when you do start to game plan for these three

358
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: preseason games. Realistically, I think it's probably more so two

359
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: preseason games. That third preseason game will look a little

360
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: bit different because you're on a short week in Philadelphia

361
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: coming off of the joint practice. So I think that

362
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: Buffalo and Chicago those two weeks are going to be

363
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: more so telling.

364
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: JJ, can I ask you, is it too early to say, hey,

365
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: how was this guy's looking at defenses? How about the

366
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: windows that he has to throw in, which were larger

367
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: in college now they're smaller. When to talk the ball

368
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: when to run. Have you gotten any assemblance of that

369
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: form or is it just too early after five precice.

370
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: So here's one thing I've liked from Anthony Richardson in

371
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 5: the two red zone drills that they've done. They started

372
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: on Wednesday last week with the first practice today, the

373
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 5: Colts went back down into the low red zone for

374
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 5: a period. On both those days, Anthony Richardson threw a

375
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: ball out of the back of the end zone. And

376
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: you might say, well, did he miss a receiver? Did

377
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 5: he not see it? That those plays where he just

378
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 5: says nope, move on to the next play, That those

379
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 5: are just as encouraging to me as the on time

380
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: strike to a wide receiver over the middle, because that

381
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: tells me that he understands NFL Open is different than

382
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: College Open, and especially in the red zone, it is

383
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: more important to live to see another play, especially when

384
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 5: you're working on first and second down, then it is

385
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: to play hero ball and try to force something in there.

386
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 5: Those little things. I'm gonna write about that on Colts

387
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 5: dot Com today on Tuesday. Those little things are encouraging

388
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 5: to me to see from a young quarterback that you

389
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: know again, and I asked him about it, and he said,

390
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 5: you have to know the situation. You have to know

391
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 5: you can't always be Superman out there. Those little things

392
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: are encouraging. I think when you see Gardner Minshew operate

393
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: the offense, you can see it is at a different

394
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 5: level because he's in year four right or year five.

395
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: This is his third year now with Shane Steichen. Like today,

396
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 5: there's a play down in the red zone where he

397
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: just like operationally beat the defense by just knowing exactly

398
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 5: what to do, when to get the ball snapped, and

399
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: when to get the ball off. He got it to

400
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 5: Kylon Grantson for a touchdown. Those little things, like Gardner Minshew,

401
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: that's where the veteran experience comes in. And now do

402
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: you you know, as the Colts start to sift through

403
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: all this information, the talent of Anthony richardson, the strides

404
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: that he's making versus the knowledge that Gardner Minshew has

405
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 5: and the playmaker ability that Gardner Minshew does have in

406
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 5: his own right, how you bounce that and then figure

407
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: out who's going to be your starter.

408
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: If they were to say Lara, if they were to say, hey,

409
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure this out, but we're starting season with

410
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is he as a twenty one year old,

411
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: And of course I'm talking about Anthony Richardson poised enough

412
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: to understand that or something like that that were to happen.

413
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: Well, there's one thing I never doubt about.

414
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: The fans will hate it, Lara, we know that, but

415
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the coaching staff and the player.

416
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: One thing I will not doubt about Anthony Richardson is

417
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: his maturity, right JJ Lake. That's one thing that he

418
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: has exuded through the entire pre draft process, through all

419
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: the time that the Cult scouts spent with him coming

420
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: into the building for you know, the meetings that they had,

421
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: all of that, and then the way he conducted himself

422
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: upon being drafted and then getting right to work, and

423
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: the questions that he was asking is the veterans have

424
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: been around, you know, the day that Antoine Bethay and

425
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: Adrian James were in the.

426
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 4: Building meetings and all the rookies.

427
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson's question was about becoming a better leader, and

428
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 3: you know, just in terms of building leadership and what

429
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: you need to do in terms of garnering the respect

430
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: of your teammates in a lot of those were the

431
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: things that he cared about. So I don't I never

432
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 3: will question the maturity of Anthony Richardson to handle something

433
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: like that type of on field personnel situation, especially because

434
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: it seems like he has incredible respect admiration of his

435
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: head coach and of his coaches. It seems like that

436
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: they have established he and Shane Sdyke in a very

437
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: strong rapport. So I do think if that were the

438
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: decision to be made, that Anthony Richardson would know that

439
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 3: is for the greater benefit of this football team and

440
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: for his long term development as a quarterback in the NFL.

441
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: You can do all the scouting you want of these guys,

442
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 5: the Colts say, obviously extensively scouted Anthony. They met with

443
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: him in Florida and Indianapolis and you know, all over

444
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 5: the place. You don't really know until you get him

445
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 5: in the building, right, You don't really know until he's

446
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 5: out on the field here and how he interacts with teammates,

447
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 5: And nothing that he has done has shown in itself

448
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 5: to say that the moment is too big for him,

449
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 5: that the responsibility is too big for him, that the

450
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 5: mental load of being a top five picked quarterback is too.

451
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: Big for him.

452
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 5: He's just he seems so eminently coachable out there. You know,

453
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: you're going back to the thing about asking questions, and

454
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 5: like Cam Turner is talking about how he's just constantly

455
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 5: texting him and you know what what about this? What

456
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 5: about that? Like and and camp Turner say like that

457
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 5: fires him up, Like he's doing the same to Shane Steichen,

458
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 5: like he is. He wants to learn. And you know

459
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 5: some quarterbacks who go through the the typical development right

460
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: of like you're going to these elite eleven camps and

461
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 5: you're you know, you're you're trained since the age of

462
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 5: five to be an NFL quarterback. Anthony didn't have that.

463
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 5: I mean, he was going to high school to train

464
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 5: to be a firefighter, right right, And you know, all

465
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 5: of a sudden he develops into a very good quarterback

466
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: prospect for Star Recruit all that, but his development has

467
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 5: not been the traditional quarterback development, and I think that

468
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 5: benefits him because of his personality where he wants to learn.

469
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 5: He's not set in any way, but he also knows

470
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: how much he needs to learn. He's not coming in

471
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 5: saying I got all the answers, I did things this way,

472
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 5: so I want to do it that way, He's coming

473
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 5: in and saying, just like to hey, teach me, teach me,

474
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: because I want to be great, and I think you

475
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 5: guys are the right people to make me great.

476
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: Also, who's the first person when Gardner Minshew makes a

477
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: great play or completes an incredible pass to celebrate him

478
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 3: Anthony richards Yeah, and vice versa, Like, I think he

479
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: has an immense respective Gardner and also knows that Gardner's

480
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 3: only going to make him better. They have that, you know,

481
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 3: that mutual respect of one another. Also, going back to

482
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: your point about Anthony Richardson training to be a firefighter

483
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 3: when he was in high school.

484
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, the program that he went through. If I'm in

485
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: a birding building and that guy shows it, I'm like,

486
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: I'm good.

487
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 3: How many how many bodies can he like toss on

488
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: a shoulder in the hall?

489
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: No stairwell, you know what I mean? Like, so just

490
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you did?

491
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 5: I think I think of the Simpsons bit where jose

492
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 5: Canseco can't play softball because he's constantly running into the

493
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: burning house and he's carrying up a washing machine and

494
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 5: the dishwasher and all that. Like, I think, Anthony, your

495
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: house is on fire. He's not gonna save you and

496
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 5: your dog. He's also gonna save your appliances and your TV.

497
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 5: And he's got the car he's pulling out. Yeah, Yeah,

498
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: you're gonna be fine.

499
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: We Uh. The best is you have to come at

500
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: that position. I promise you that one. JJ Stankovitz at

501
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: JJ Stankovitz on Twitter. Lera Overton at Lera Overton. My

502
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: name's Gorman. I want to bounce around camp a little bit.

503
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: I love the position battles, l O. I'm starting with

504
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: you because you get lost in the forest of redwoods

505
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: called the tight End group right now. I mean, those

506
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: are some big gentlemen out there. Face. I know that

507
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: that IU connection was gonna come out here. So I'm saying,

508
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: talk a little bit to us about this, the battles

509
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: that are going on for playing time with this talented group.

510
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 3: And now you have Jilanie Woods who's battling a little

511
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: bit of a hamstring issue, so he's had some time

512
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: limited of late. A few different things of note, Man

513
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: Kylon Granson has continued to do what we saw in

514
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: OTA's and Mini Camp.

515
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 4: JJ. What was Gardner Minshew's description shifty.

516
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 5: Uh garden so quote Kylon's got juice, he can get open.

517
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: He's got a little shake and as Gardner said that,

518
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 5: he kind of shimmed his shoulders too. He's got a

519
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 5: little shake. He's fast, too smart, he knows how to

520
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 5: run routes, he knows how to win. He's a great

521
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 5: guy to throw to, which, of course.

522
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: You know Kylin jokingly is like the little shrubbery among

523
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: those redwoods, but like he's different than what you're getting

524
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: from those larger guys like the Jelawanne Woods and Moali

525
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: Cox and Drew Ogletree. So you're excited to by Drew

526
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: Ogletree being back out here, one of the hands down

527
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: the easiest guys on this roster to root for after

528
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: what he went through. He was last year's camp stand out,

529
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: played one preseason game in Buffalo but before tearing the

530
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: e cl and the joint practices against the Lions. He's back,

531
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean, and then will obviously the rookie end there

532
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: they I mean, it's it's crazy just the amount of

533
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: competition you're getting out of one position group. It's gonna

534
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 3: be really really interesting because you're going to have to

535
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: have guys that bring different skills sets into those positions

536
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: are into that position itself, and I think that you're

537
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: gonna see a lot. You'll see a lot of work

538
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: from that group when you do get into the preseason.

539
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: And what's exciting about that is from a game plan

540
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: standpoint for Jim Bob Cooter and Shane Seike and man,

541
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 3: there's so many different ways we can utilize these guys.

542
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: We have a lot of different weapons that we can

543
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: work with, especially in complement to these quarterbacks that we have. So,

544
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: I mean, man, when we get to the preseason, I

545
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: think this is this is time for all of those

546
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: guys to really shine and show what they were able

547
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: to bring.

548
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 5: Did you catch what Jim Bob Cooter mentioned last week?

549
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 5: He's sort of like when you think about your five

550
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 5: going out on routes on a play, your five players,

551
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: it's kind of like a basketball team. You know, you

552
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: need to have a variation of body types so you're

553
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 5: not just doing all the same thing. And you think

554
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 5: about the variations the Colts can have between the wide receivers,

555
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 5: the tight ends and the running backs. You got a

556
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 5: pret decent basketball team out there, No kid, you know,

557
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: I've obviously got Moa like Cox, I don't have to

558
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 5: go through that again.

559
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: Did you know he played basketball?

560
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

561
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 5: How about that? I never never cover that one before.

562
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 5: But you know, just the you know, Alex Pearson.

563
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: Your power forward.

564
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe your shooting guard.

565
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 5: Right, but like or grandson could be your you know,

566
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 5: Michael Pittman could be your small fore world grandson could

567
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: be your shooting guard. But you got to get out

568
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 5: piece in there somehow. I mean, I love Josh downs.

569
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: You is a McKenzie is a point guard.

570
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it because I sit in this lane

571
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: and I just go, I'm safe and sound right here.

572
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. How many tight ends are making

573
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: this roster this year?

574
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: Oh? Three?

575
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 6: I think four?

576
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 4: Four? Four?

577
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 5: It could be five? Could It could totally be fine, Really,

578
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: you could totally make it work.

579
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Four or five.

580
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: Don't be surprised once it once you get down into

581
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: the probably beyond the three you're looking at. Those guys

582
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: are now competing with the wide receivers, with the running

583
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 5: backs special first. But yeah, you know, do you keep

584
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: three quarterbacks because of the new quarterback rule that's in

585
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 5: place with the emergency quarterback, you can you know, have

586
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 5: him on your roster not you know, uh, I forget

587
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 5: exactly how that rule goes. But essentially you can keep

588
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: three quarterbacks and not have to worry about, uh, the

589
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 5: roster spot essentially on game day. So, uh, you know,

590
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 5: how does that shake out, how his running back shakeout.

591
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 5: With now Zach Moss being out for six weeks, Shane

592
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 5: Stikeen said today he could still be in play for

593
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 5: the season opener. Season opener is in five weeks and

594
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: five days from now, so you know, the Colts are

595
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 5: not ruling him out there, but he obviously won't be

596
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: out on the field for a little bit.

597
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: But I mean, Dione Jackson, actually I feel like people

598
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 3: underestimate how much experience he has and I mean he

599
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 3: has third year exactly, and I mean think about it.

600
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: This is a guy who had the scepter from Good

601
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 4: Morning Football.

602
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: He got the Angry Runs scepter, right, He's been a

603
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 3: big playmaker. Evan Hole I think has been one of

604
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: the impressive rookies of this training camp too, with his

605
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 3: versatility coming out of the backfield.

606
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're you're looking at you know, as you're

607
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: you're starting to figure out roster spots, which, by the way,

608
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 5: that's in four weeks, like it's actually gonna come up quick.

609
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that to be like, ah, it's far off.

610
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: That's gonna happen fast before. And you know you're you're

611
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 5: gonna figure out now who are gonna be special teams

612
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 5: contributors that tight end room. You're gonna have to have

613
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 5: some guys who can contribute on teams. We've seen Kylon

614
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 5: Grantson do that. I think you'll you know, Drorogatree might

615
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: have been on track to do that last year too.

616
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 5: We'll just kind of see how that all shakes out.

617
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, the young man who's coming up next, we

618
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down with him, Josh Downs.

619
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: I want to see Josh first down. Josh First Downs,

620
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I love it to wear number one on his back.

621
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: Larro start with you the battle. We've got a veteran,

622
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: a guy who's done it well in Buffalo, and Isaiah

623
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Mackenzie and now this rookie everything, this quick twitch, this

624
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: streamline runner, this you know, incredibly successful acc talent called

625
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Josh Downs, who a lot of people are saying was

626
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: a steal at seventy nine. Overall, how does that position

627
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: battle wear out over the next month? Man?

628
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: Time will tell?

629
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: And Isaiah McKenzie is a consummate professional. He's been incredible

630
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 3: to work with just to kind of watch in terms

631
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: of how he can ducks himself on the field, in

632
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: the meeting rooms, all of that. He also brings a

633
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: really exciting element to the return game as well. He

634
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: could be a factor right there. I think I think that,

635
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think that they're JJ's space for

636
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: both these Yes, I do think that, But I think

637
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: that there are similarities. I think that you can use

638
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: them in similar capacities. I get that, But I do

639
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: think that you I mean, you knew what your plan

640
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: was going into the draft when you made a commitment

641
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 3: to Isaiah McKenzie and then drafted Josh Downs. There is

642
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: an intention behind having both of these guys within.

643
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: This offense and even just seeing them out here, the

644
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 5: way that they're being used is different. You're able to

645
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: do different things with Isaiah McKenzie than you are Josh Downs.

646
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 5: You know, McKenzie being kind of a guy who you

647
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 5: can get him in motion behind the line of scrimmage.

648
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: We saw him do that a lot in Buffalo. You

649
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: know that's that's not anything new about his game. Josh

650
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: Downs a guy who you know, is so good at

651
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: getting open and just finding space, you know, really good

652
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 5: on option routes, that type of stuff. But McKenzie's also

653
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: guy who you just get the ball in his hands,

654
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 5: he can make something happen. So I think there's absolutely

655
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 5: space for both those guys because yes they're both slot receivers,

656
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 5: yes they're both five eight five nine, but you can

657
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 5: do different things with them that I think benefit the.

658
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch what those guys do. And

659
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the battle, just how they can both,

660
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: like you guys said, individually, make this off y Yeah, alright,

661
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: say no more. Earlier he was walking off the practice field,

662
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: Casey Valier myself had a chance to sit down. Here's

663
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: the rookie out of North Carolina, Josh Downs, Casey Valier.

664
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm so happy, I'm excited we're talking to this young man.

665
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Should have went higher than where he did in the

666
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: draft and a special player. And if you don't believe me,

667
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna find out this year, Colts fans, I'm talking

668
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: about number one in your hearts, number one on the roster,

669
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Josh Downs from North Carolina. So far, so good, And

670
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: the thing I like about you is I followed your career.

671
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: I got people down in North Carolina and in the

672
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: football program. You're built for this. You knew this was

673
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: the next step. You knew that early on in your

674
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: career in North Carolina, and it's hey, it's time to

675
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: go to work. Your father Gary with a football history

676
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: behind her, obviously dre Bli, your uncle, but you knew

677
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: you were going to get to this point. You feel

678
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: comfortable out there?

679
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, sir, I mean it's a blessing to be

680
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 7: out there. Had a little hiccup and the offseason had

681
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 7: to take OT's off, But I'm just glad to be

682
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 7: out there with the guys, glad to be in this organization.

683
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 7: So yeah, my dad and my uncle both played in

684
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 7: the league, so them kind of already being there basically

685
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 7: made it a precedent for me, and I was like,

686
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 7: I got to get there too. So I feel good

687
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 7: out here and I'm happy.

688
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: To be here. Absolutely, And a fun fact for you

689
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: Colts fans out there, I want to ask a question.

690
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: That's your roommate here in camp is a fourth overall pick,

691
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. Are you nudging him at all? When you

692
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: guys are talking ball, saying bro I'm open on this

693
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: play every time look my way.

694
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: Hey, I mean I say it sometimes, but really try

695
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 7: to just keep the convo off the field, you know,

696
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 7: just trying to know him more as a guy. Just

697
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 7: talk to him kind of as a brother, get to

698
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 7: know each other more so. I mean we still in

699
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 7: those stages because we both got drafted about two months ago,

700
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 7: so still getting to know him easion every day.

701
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 6: Were getting closer.

702
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 7: So I appreciate him being my roommate because he's probably

703
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 7: gonna be my quarterback.

704
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 6: And yes, it's been good so far.

705
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: Now, you talk about the situation with the family involved

706
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: in football, but you also come to a spot here

707
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: with the Colts where Reggie Wayne is your position coach.

708
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: Having all those voices in there, how much has that

709
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: really kind of helped you kind of grow in your

710
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: early NFL career to this point.

711
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd say, I mean every rookie has some trouble,

712
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 7: so just kind of just seeing different coverages and different

713
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 7: ways to get open on man and man from coach

714
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 7: Reggie Waying because he should be gold jacket. And then

715
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 7: my dad's been here before, so telling me take every

716
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 7: day camp one day at a time. You can't just

717
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 7: dwell on the last day or look forward to the next,

718
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 7: cause it's camp is a tough it's a tough few practices.

719
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 6: Tough months.

720
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 7: So just got to keep your head on straight, keep going,

721
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 7: keep God first. So I feel like having all in

722
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 7: my corner helps.

723
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: Now.

724
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: One of the things you were talking about, Jeffrey said

725
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: earlier should have been drafted higher. It kind of adds

726
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: that extra chip. You look at this team, there's a

727
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: lot of question marks nationally. You got a new coach,

728
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: potentially new quarterback. How much do you kind of relish

729
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: kind of being that underdog, you know, as you come

730
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: into your first NFL season.

731
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it was kind of the same way

732
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 7: when I went to North Carolina. Everybody used to ask

733
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 7: me why would I choose that? And I just kind

734
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 7: of was, I want to just try something new, try

735
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 7: something different. So same kind of thing. I felt like,

736
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 7: this is a similar situation to that. But we got

737
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 7: a lot of guys on the team that's ready to work,

738
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 7: ready to win.

739
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 6: So happy to be here. Man. I keep saying that,

740
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 6: but I really am.

741
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 7: So I appreciate all the coaches, and I mean, even

742
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 7: though I didn't get drafted as high as I want

743
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 7: to feel like I'm in the right place. I'm in

744
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 7: a good situation. I should be able to play early.

745
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: So and head coach Chainstike in offensive coordinator Jim Bob Couter,

746
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: they know you're in the right spot too. How's this

747
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: offense looking you? You're an elite slot guy coming out

748
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: of college and hopefully in the pros as well, playing

749
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: that slot position that is so unique their offense. How

750
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: does it you know, how does it collide gracefully with

751
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: your game?

752
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, they I mean they have a lot of

753
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 7: routes and plays that feature the slots. So don't want

754
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 7: to get too much in this game and all that,

755
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 7: but they got some good plays for the slot. They

756
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 7: got some good plays for the outside guys as well.

757
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: So there's opportunities there. You just got to take them,

758
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 7: and when the ball comes you away, you just got

759
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: to execute. So I feel like that's the main.

760
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: Thing we talked about Anthony Richardson, you know, ad nauseum

761
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: coming forth overall pick. But Gardner Minshew, we saw today

762
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: with you guys. You had a touchdown today, had an

763
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: incredible catch yesterday. Gardner Minshew lead in this offense is

764
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: obviously helpful for young guys like you from a guy

765
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: who's been playing that quarterback position for a few years.

766
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he he gives me tips, just helps

767
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 7: me on little things that different from college to the league.

768
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 7: I asked him different questions about coverages and different plays,

769
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 7: so he told me a few days ago if I

770
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 7: need anything, just come to him ask. So, I mean

771
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 7: I appreciate him a lot. He's been there, He's played

772
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: with aj Brown, Demante Smith, He's played in Jacksonville, so

773
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 7: he's he's played with a few good teams, a lot

774
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 7: of good players, so he knows what he knows what

775
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 7: good looks like, and he knows what great looks like.

776
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 7: So definitely using him a lot, just being a vet

777
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 7: asking the questions.

778
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: Now for those who did not see you know your

779
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: career in North Carolina, what are you trying to show

780
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: the fans that are out here at camp? And then

781
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: ask preseason and regular season rolls around, who is Josh Downs?

782
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 7: I mean, I just want to fans know I'm a

783
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 7: guy that gives him my all. I feel like me

784
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 7: as a player, I can get open on anybody. I

785
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 7: feel like when his man and man come my way,

786
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 7: I feel like I'll get open, and even in his

787
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 7: own I feel like I'll get open. But yeah, just

788
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 7: a guy that plays hard for his team. He's gonna

789
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 7: go out there, give it his all, play with a

790
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 7: lot of passion.

791
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: What separates you in your game? I think I know

792
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: the answer, but I'm gonna let JD answer this one.

793
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: Quick twitch and inline speed is incredible, change of directions

794
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: everything when you're when you're a wide receiver in this league.

795
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: What's gonna separate you in your game?

796
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 7: I feel like me just being as well those things

797
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 7: you said, but also just being competitive. I feel like

798
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 7: I'm real competitive and I don't like to lose. So

799
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 7: when I'm going up against somebody, I take it personal

800
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 7: every single time. So even little things if a dB

801
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 7: talks trash, I take that extra personal.

802
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 6: Just certain coverages I take personal.

803
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 7: So I feel like just everything on the field, I'm

804
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 7: coming out there with a chip on my shoulder, playing

805
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 7: extra hard. Every rep is every rep is a game rep.

806
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 7: Every rep is a money rep. That's how I look

807
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 7: at it, So I don't take stuff for granted. I'm

808
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 7: trying to win every single time I'm out there running.

809
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: Route as a true freshman, and it kind of reminds

810
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: me of your college career a little bit. As a

811
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: true freshman. You had a taste, you had a successful taste.

812
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Then you go into your sophomore year record set it

813
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: like boom, It's on. That's the sort of stuff that's

814
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: needed out here. Are you just does that come in

815
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: your mind as far as got to win every play,

816
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: got to be there early and stay late in the meetings.

817
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean i'd say that, but I can't

818
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 7: look too forward into the outcome. I just got to

819
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 7: go out there every day work and when the when

820
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 7: the ball comes my way, it comes my way. Can't

821
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 7: force anything. So I feel like for me, it's just

822
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 7: getting better each and every day. I'm still learning, still

823
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 7: a still a rookie.

824
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 6: At the end of the day.

825
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 7: It's like my fourth practice or fifth practice. So because

826
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 7: I didn't really do O t A's reus the vets,

827
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 7: so I'm still I'm still getting used to it, getting learning.

828
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 7: So I feel like me just going out there get

829
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 7: better each and every day. I got vests like Isaam

830
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 7: Kenzy and Michael Pittman in the room, so guys like

831
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 7: that asking him a lot of questions, just trying to

832
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 7: figure it out.

833
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: Now, how helpful has Isaiah McKenzie been. I mean, essentially,

834
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: he's doing a lot of the same exact community. He's

835
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: a returner. It's also in that slot. How how helpful is

836
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: Isaiah been at this point?

837
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he's been very helpful. He's really like a

838
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 7: big brother to me. So I feel like he's He's

839
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 7: very supportive. I mean, everybody knows we competing with each other,

840
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 7: but very supportive. I feel like in the room, me

841
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 7: and him, probably to get out of the most, I'm

842
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 7: really always with him. He's always with me. We're cracking jokes,

843
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 7: playing around. So I feel like Isaiah is always there

844
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 7: for me. And if I have a question about certain

845
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 7: coverage is just different things, he has an answer. And

846
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 7: then sometimes he asked me what I see. So even

847
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 7: though I'm a rookie, he gonna ask me because he

848
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 7: has a lot of respect for me. So I feel

849
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 7: like we, me and him, have a good relationship early

850
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 7: on and we really just met, so I feel like

851
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 7: he's just gonna keep going on from here.

852
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: Now.

853
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: Final thing for me, when you look at an offense,

854
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: you want to have a bunch of different ways to

855
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 2: kind of do things, and you got guys like Michael

856
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: Pittman Alec Pierce on the ends. But how important are

857
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: you and Isaiah mckinzi going to be to this offense

858
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: to kind of create differences for defenses.

859
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like a lot of intermediate quick routes

860
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, that's more of our our cup

861
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 7: of tea. So I feel like routes where you got

862
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 7: to get open on is sort of our thing, maybe

863
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 7: like third and five, so third and seven like things

864
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 7: like that.

865
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 6: We're more needed there.

866
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 7: And then Alay, he's real fast, go over the top,

867
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 7: get some catches and then fits a guy. He just

868
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 7: he got glue on his hands. He can catch a

869
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 7: lot of stuff. So I feel like we got different

870
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 7: guys in these position that can go. You saw my

871
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 7: stron make a big catch today over the top, so

872
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 7: I think my strong really good.

873
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 6: And we got a lot of players.

874
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 7: They got different skills, so I mean they can all

875
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 7: come together in jail well, and we can have pieces

876
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 7: in each different part that are work good.

877
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,000

00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 5: How about that. But he just gets it, like he

932
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 5: gets the what it takes to go through a pro

933
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 5: training camp as a rookie, which, like you know, hearing

934
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 5: from Michael Pittman even his dad who played in the NFL,

935
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 5: that can still be intimidating to come into a pro

936
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: training camp and you don't know where you're going, you

937
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 5: don't know who to talk to, you don't know the

938
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 5: guy's names. You're sitting down with it this blue table,

939
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden they're asking you all these questions.

940
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: And then Hi, I'm Jeffrey Gorman.

941
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 5: You know, you finally get to introduce himself to the

942
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 5: important people around the building. But it can be disorienting,

943
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 5: you know, to be a rookie. But it seems like

944
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 5: he's handled that mental load of it pretty well.

945
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: Certainly has Lara. I know you're a big fan of

946
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: and we have more to come from Number one. I

947
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: love that he uh, you know, you have to have

948
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: a little something in you if you say yeah, I'll

949
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: take that number one jersey.

950
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: That's absolutely and I've been excited just how quick of

951
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 3: an impact he's been able to make because he obviously

952
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: had that procedure in the spring that limited his ability

953
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: in OTAs and in mini camp, so to see how

954
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: quickly he's jumped into the fold and took a significant

955
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: number of reps, especially today, very few plays, very few plays.

956
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 4: In which he was off the field, and we got

957
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: to team today.

958
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,600

972
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: that I just came up with in my head. I

973
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: know you guys love this. We're we're winding down the show.

974
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: But it's called Who's Gonna Surprise You? And I'm gonna

975
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: give two positions, jay Ja, I'm gonna start with you.

976
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: You give me one, Larry, you give me one. We'll

977
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: go back. Who's gonna surprise you this year? On the

978
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: offensive line? Bernard Ryman.

979
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 5: There we go, because I think a lot of fans

980
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 5: only remember the bad plays that Bernard Ryman had last year,

981
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 5: the sacks where he did get beat. If you turn

982
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 5: on the tape, Bernard Ryman played pretty well. He had

983
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 5: some plays where he got beat, he absolutely did, and

984
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 5: those led to play, you know, sacks, especially late in games.

985
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 5: But the when, you know, when when I was talking

986
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: to people around the building about Bernard and they all

987
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 5: say like those things, like if he was just getting

988
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 5: his butt kicked every single play, you'd be like I

989
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 5: don't think he's got it right, but he wasn't, especially

990
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 5: on run plays. He was pretty good second half of

991
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 5: last season when the offensive line kind of got settled,

992
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 5: they had their starting five, everyone kind of get their

993
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 5: feet under him. And he put on good weight this offseason. Yeah,

994
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 5: I mean he he's a he balked up and that's

995
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 5: not just him. You know, going over to Portillo's and

996
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 5: having an Italian beef. Oh God, there messes for you

997
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 5: that he's not. He's not just putting on bad weight.

998
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 5: This is all good weight that he's putting on. And

999
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 5: the the play strength that I think he will be

1000
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 5: at this year compared to last year will kind of

1001
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 5: be night and day. And I think he's gonna surprise

1002
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 5: people who maybe wrote him off last year based just

1003
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 5: off of the saxidy lea.

1004
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: You want to piggyback on Bernard Ryman or you want

1005
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: you just got the You know.

1006
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm excited for the development of Will Fries. You know,

1007
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 3: he's a guy who gained some valuable time last year.

1008
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 3: I think his development is going to be big. And

1009
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 3: I'm going with surprise, not in the sense that this

1010
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: is going to catch any everyone off guard, but I

1011
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: do think that central to the success of all of

1012
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: this is Ryan Kelly returning to a Pro Bowl level

1013
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 3: this season, and I think he will do that. I

1014
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: think you have seen him just get back to this

1015
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: place of seeming like he is in his element out

1016
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 3: here on the field. He is the longest tenured colt

1017
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: on this roster. He is the central force within that

1018
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 3: offensive line, and he puts that group on his shoulders.

1019
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 3: And I think for Anthony Richardson to develop into the

1020
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 3: type of quarterback you want him to be at the

1021
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 3: professional level, that is certainly going to hinge on the

1022
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: success of who is who's playing center and the success

1023
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 3: of where Ryan Kelly is, and I think that he

1024
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: is embracing that role of being able to help mentor

1025
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 3: and have Anthony Richardson there underneath him under center.

1026
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: JJ. Welcome again to Who's going to Surprise You, the

1027
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: newest craze and game show that's on podcasts, and I'm

1028
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: going to go Who's going to Surprise You? In the

1029
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: defensive backfield.

1030
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 5: Darryl Baker Junior is a guy who I don't think

1031
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 5: anyone you know had on their radar, right, but the

1032
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 5: Bolts are encouraged by what he did during OTAs, and

1033
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 5: he went out there in Monday's practice. He had a

1034
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 5: couple pass breakups in seven on seven. He's long, he's athletic,

1035
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 5: he's physical. You know, he's still got a ways to go.

1036
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 5: But right now, with Darius Rush and Juju Brent's not practicing,

1037
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 5: he and Dallas Flowers have pretty much consistently been the

1038
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 5: the top corners on this team out on the outside,

1039
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 5: with Kenny Moore being on the inside. I'm interested in

1040
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 5: how he continues to develop because again, you know, you're

1041
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 5: you're talking about of all of the five guys who

1042
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 5: are competing for that job, right you got the three

1043
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 5: draft picks, Brent's Rush, Jalen Jones, you got Dallas Flowers,

1044
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 5: the guy who colts fans know. I don't think a

1045
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 5: lot of people know about Darryl Baker Junior, But by

1046
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 5: the end of camp you might need to know who

1047
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 5: this guy is.

1048
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 6: CBJ.

1049
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: Hey, I like that, Lara, Who's going to surprise you

1050
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield this year?

1051
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: Call up Brick Venturi. Where is he is he around

1052
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: here somewhere? Because he and I have gone on and

1053
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: on about this since late May. It is Darius Rush

1054
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: and I know that obviously we haven't seen as much

1055
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 3: of him yet in campus you would have liked to

1056
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: the fifth run, but obviously, yes, yeah, I mean that's

1057
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 3: that's a pretty significant investment from a draft capital perspective.

1058
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: But you know, all of the things that they liked

1059
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 3: about Jiuji Bruns you also see in Darius Rush and

1060
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 3: I think that from what we saw when he was

1061
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: heavily active in OTA's back in the spring when we

1062
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: were at West fifty six, when he does get back

1063
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 3: out here, I think you are immediately going to take

1064
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: notice of why he is someone that the Colts coveted

1065
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 3: in in this draft in the spring. So I'm excited

1066
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 3: to really see what he is able to bring. And

1067
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: there are a lot of guys I think that you

1068
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 3: can point to in that area. Also really eager to

1069
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: see what happens at safety, because you haven't seen Julian

1070
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 3: Blackman yet out here at training camp, so you've seen

1071
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 3: Rodney Thomas the second and Nick Cross obviously there at safety,

1072
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 3: So that's another intriguing position as well. As we kind

1073
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: of get into the meat of training camp.

1074
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 5: By the cornerback, I mean, Kenny Moore might surprise I'm sure, Oh, well,

1075
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 5: he look here right now, really good and hearing from

1076
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 5: n playing loose, He's back.

1077
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: To playing loose like you felt like last year, whether

1078
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: it was in the new scheme or you know.

1079
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 4: Contract stitution, right, it was not tight. Yeah, and now

1080
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: he's like Kenny Yeah, and you know he is.

1081
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: He's dynamic and you really feel that that he's back

1082
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 3: to you know, that kind of all Pro or Pro

1083
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: Bowl form that he was in twenty twenty one.

1084
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 5: It was really good to hear Gus Bradley last week

1085
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 5: say that, you know, Kenny sets the speed of practice. Oh,

1086
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 5: he kind of sets the tempo of practice. And hearing

1087
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 5: that about about Kenny after everything that you know happened

1088
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 5: last year. We didn't have an interception and like you

1089
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 5: guys said, he kind of played tight. It wasn't really

1090
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 5: anything close to the season that he expected of the

1091
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 5: season we've come to know out of Kenny. Hearing that,

1092
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, I think, like I think we're

1093
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 5: back on the right track. And it's only been confirmed

1094

1121
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: in and said, you're not gonna be these guys. I

1122
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: fell asleep. I crashed for five hours on the couch,

1123
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: six pm to eleven pm, and I thought, well, what

1124
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: the heck do I do? Do I stay here in

1125
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 1: my shorts or do I wait out a few more

1126
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: minutes until the clock strikes midnight so I can get

1127
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: my tomorrow's mile run in. Okay, hold on exactly what

1128
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: this crazy loon did running your neighborhood at midnight.

1129
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 5: There's another story about you running in a Kroger parking

1130
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 5: lot to hit your streak.

1131
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 4: That is correct? Well what's that one?

1132
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 3: First of all, shout out to my incredibly supportive husband.

1133
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 7: Sure.

1134
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the story that JJ's referring to. Last Monday,

1135
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 3: we got into a travel debacle, as I know so

1136
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 3: many people are familiar with right now, because of the

1137
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 3: airline chaos and everything. Our flight from Toronto got canceled

1138
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 3: and I was trying to find a way back because

1139
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, we got report day. I gotta be back

1140
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis for Tuesday morning, right because we're riding in

1141
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: with three of the players. On report day, we had

1142
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 3: a ton of things, so we booked a flight that

1143
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 3: went from Toronto to Cincinnati, booked a to the car

1144
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: in Cincy, and then drove to Indianapolis and got our

1145
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 3: car at the Indianapolis airport. So in all of this,

1146
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: our flight was initially supposed to leave it like two

1147
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 3: o'clock out of Toronto, so I thought I'll have plenty

1148
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: of time. Well, then the flight was canceled in the morning,

1149
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 3: so I spent most of the day trying to just

1150
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 3: get on a flight. And now we're like, we got

1151
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 3: to get to the airport. So he's like, what's your plan.

1152
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: I was like, we'll be home in plenty of time.

1153
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: We'll get it done. Flight got delayed this and that.

1154
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 3: So we're driving home and we're starting to see the

1155
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 3: time on the clock. Dan's starting to get hungry. It's

1156
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 3: about eleven thirty and he's like, what are you gonna do.

1157
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 3: I was like, well, wherever you stop to eat, I'll

1158
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 3: just run. He goes, so, are you gonna run what

1159
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: you're in And I was like, yeah, I'll figure it out.

1160
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 3: Like yeah, so I so, yeah, surely enough, there's a

1161
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 3: you know, cause Kroger parking.

1162
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 4: Lots are pretty well late.

1163
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,160

Speaker 3: kept the street going ended it at like eleven fifty nine.

1165
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I had I've cut it close. Guys.

1166
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: What I have learned is I gotta start knocking out

1167
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: the beginning of the day because when I procrastinated, I

1168
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 3: get all too close to snapping the streak. So that's

1169
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 3: the lesson to be learned.
