My name is Casey Valley and we are 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: with you from five thirty to six thirty tonight before 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: the Pacers host the San Antonio Spurs. Right here on 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five The Fan. 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: The Colts fell yesterday to the Tennessee Titans in overtime 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: thirty four thirty one the Titans. They now improved to 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: six and two. They are winners of four straight the Colts. 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: They fall to three and five. That amounts to a 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: four game lead with nine games to play for the 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Titans over the Colts in the AFC South. As the 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee they also hold the tiebreaker based on sweeping the 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: Colts here in twenty twenty one. The Colts got out 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: to a fast start yesterday. They led fourteen nothing early 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, but the Titans methodically got back 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: in the game. The turning point in the game was 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: when the Colts got a terrible break before the Titans 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: tied the game. Defensive end Tai Kwon Lewis was able 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: to drop back in coverage and he intercepted a Ryan 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Tannehill pass at the Tennessee forty five yard line. The 32 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: Colts appeared to be poised to add to their lead, 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: but Lewis stumbled and lost to football on the way 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: to the ground. Tennessee recovered on his own forty three 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: yard line and Lewis left the game with a knee injury. 36 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: And on the next play, Ryan Tannehill hit A J. 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: Brown for a fifty seven yard touchdown that tied the 38 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: football game. Carson wentz through for two hundred and thirty 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: one yards and a season high three touchdowns and the loss. 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: He did, however, toss two two costly interceptions in the 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and one in overtime. Before those turnovers, he 42 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: passed Jeff George for the most consecutive passes without an 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: interception in franchise history at two hundred and twelve. The 44 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: Colts defense played physical all game long, and they did 45 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: a great job of limiting Derrick Henry, the NFL's two 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: time rushing champ, just had sixty eight yards on the 47 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: ground on twenty eight attempts, which is two point four 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: yards per carry, with a long of nine yards. However, 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: the Titans went eight for seventeen on third downs and 50 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: converted a pair of fourth downs, and A. J. Brown 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: had a season high one hundred and fifty five yards 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: receiving and pulled down several key catches throughout the game. 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: He caught ten of eleven targets. Other positives from the 54 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: game included the Colts defense. They came away with two 55 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: more takeaways. Dating back to last season, Indianapolis has now 56 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: forced a turnover in nine consecutive games, which is tied 57 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: for the second longest active streak in the NFL, and 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor registered his fifth consecutive game with at least 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: one hundred yards from scrimmage and is the first Colt 60 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: to accomplish that feat since Edrin James did so in 61 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and five. We want to hear from you 62 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: tonight on the show Colts Roundtable Live. Tweet your questions 63 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: and comments on Twitter by using hashtag Colts Roundtable.

Presented by Siston's Energy Group Coach 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: as always, thank you so much for the time. We're glad, 68 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: glad to help out. Tough loss, you know, obviously yesterday 69 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: against the Titans, So you know, those losses are always tough, 70 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: but especially in a game that magnitude. But we're gonna 71 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: need to just bounce back quickly and put that behind us, 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: learn from it, and move on. Absolutely. I mean, that's 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: kind of what I want to talk about. I mean, 74 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: yesterday kind of felt like a playoff game atmosphere, and 75 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: after watching the tape, you know, what were some of 76 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: the differences you took from the game, you know, I mean, 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: I thought we played we did a lot of great stuff. 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: I thought our defense played extremely physical. I think we 79 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, we took Derrick Henry out of the game. 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: He was a non factor. I think we limited the 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: chunk plays you know by the Titans offense, and uh, 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: you know except for one or who plays and so 83 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: and got a couple of turnovers. Really the only thing 84 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: defensively was when we got that one turnover and then 85 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: we fumbled it back to them and then they scored 86 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the next play. That was really the only tough sequence offensively, 87 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, we did some good things. You know, we 88 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: had the couple interceptions you know, late and one of 89 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: those I was on me with a bad call backed 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: up calling the screen. Not a good call by me, 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: and so I got to get better. We gotta get 92 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: better on offense. But did some good things there and 93 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: special teams played solid as well. But a playoff type 94 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: atmosphere against a good football team. Tough loss, but we 95 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: got to learn from it and get better. Now, what 96 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: was your message to the team after a tough loss 97 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: like that? I mean, you know, given the circumstances, right, 98 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just ay, it was a quick turnaround. 99 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: We played Thursday night, so no time for you know, 100 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: dwelling too long on this. Let's just watch the tape, 101 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: learn from it, and move on. There's still a lot 102 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: of football left, a lot of football left. We cannot 103 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: waiver in our belief. We know what we do, we 104 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: know who we are. We got to just continue to 105 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: get better and believe that we can still get everything 106 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: that we want. We're joined by head coach Frank Reich 107 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: on Cole's Round Table Live. You dealt with a few 108 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: more injuries on Sunday. Cory Willis left with the calf, 109 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Tai Kwon Lewis left the game on the cart, and 110 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton left with the concussion. You got any 111 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: update on those guys, Yeah, no update just yet. You know, 112 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: I'll get with the medical staff, you know, later today 113 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: just to kind of get more details on that stuff. 114 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: But um, you know t Y does have a concussion. 115 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: He'll be you know, he'll be in protocol and so 116 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean he likely will not be back for Thursday night, 117 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, in protocol given a short time. So and 118 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: then obviously you know Tai Kwon, Um, you know, Tai 119 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Kwon will be going to IR with his injuries. So 120 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: those are the updates I got for you right now. 121 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: I want to go back to the end of regulation 122 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: with the coach teams down seven with just over a 123 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: minute left. How proud were you of the resiliency in 124 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: that situation to drive down the field, make some plays 125 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and convert when you had to and score with twenty 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: two seconds left in regulation? That was huge. I mean, 127 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: you know, it was huge, the drive, you know, going 128 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: all the way on the field like that and getting 129 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: it in and you know, taking it to overtime. You know, 130 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: just obviously disappointed we weren't able to finish it off. 131 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: I thought when we you know, I just thought when 132 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: we came back and scored the tying touchdown and we 133 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: thought about going for two, but you know, usually at 134 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: home we kind of take the home field advantage and 135 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: take it into overtime, and you know, just disappointed we 136 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: weren't able to finish it into overtime. Now. I know 137 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: there's a developing story about an injury to Derrick Henry, 138 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: but still looking at the game, he had twenty eight 139 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: carries and the defense limited him to just sixty eight 140 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: yards at two point four yards per carry. I know 141 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: we talked about it at the top, but how impressed 142 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: were you by the tackling and physicality this defense showed 143 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: against one of the more punishing backs in the league. 144 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it was an impressive performance by the defense, 145 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: and you know, they deserve a lot. I mean they 146 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: just played so stink and hard and so many good things, 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: so really really took him out of the game. All right, coach, 148 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: it's time to hear from the fans. If you have 149 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: a question for coach, you can always tweet it tonight 150 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: and every Monday night by using hashtag Colt's round Table. 151 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: The first question comes from Mitch, and Mitch would like 152 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: to know if you had any I know, you just 153 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: mentioned it there, if you had any ideas of going 154 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: for two after that score and final regulation, and why 155 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: didn't you go for two? Yeah? We you know, we 156 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: talked about it really along the whole drive, and you 157 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: know and just felt like, you know, felt like you 158 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: could really go either way with the decision, and you know, 159 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: it just felt like having home field advantage. Usually my 160 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: default mode is if you're at home in the circumstances 161 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: where our defense is playing pretty good, our defense was 162 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: playing very good, it just seemed like the right move. Now, 163 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: next up, it's from Jackson. He wants to know, what's 164 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: your assessment of Carson Wentz was in overtime and do 165 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: you feel like he was trying to do too much 166 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: when just a field goal would have won the game? 167 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: You know, I mean going back on it. I mean 168 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: obviously on the interception, you know, at the end of 169 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, he'd like to have that one back. 170 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you can you know, really you're calling a 171 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 1: play action pass on first down, see if the chunk 172 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: is there down the field. If it's not, you know, 173 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: the Pittman's been making plays for him, so I understand 174 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: the season flash open. So in hindsight, yeah, you can 175 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: check the ball down. You got a little bit greedy there. 176 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: He would said that himself afterwards, but that's you live 177 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: and learn from that. Now, Dennis wants to know, how 178 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: do you keep this team from looking at the standings now? 179 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I mean you've you've talked about it earlier. You've got 180 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: nine games left, a lot of the football season left 181 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: to go. How do you keep them, you know, focused 182 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: in on what's in front of him? You know, these guys, 183 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It's the way we go about 184 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: our process week to week. We know this is a 185 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: week to week season where it's a one and oh mentality. 186 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: So that's just the way the guys are wired. They're pros. 187 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: They know in this league you can't scoreboard, watch, you 188 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: can't you know, watch how the standings go. You just 189 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: got to lock yourself in and play week to week 190 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and then there's still so much football left. We're joined 191 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: by Frank Raike here on Colt's Roundtable Live. Next question 192 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: from Lenny. He wants to know about dio O Dangbo 193 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: in his first game and what do you feel about 194 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: his first game in the NFL and what his role 195 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: as we move forward. Well, he played about fifteen plays, 196 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, and I thought it was good experience from 197 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: and he'll learn, you know, really didn't have any impact plays, 198 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know, played solid, you know, 199 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: didn't make any major mistakes, and I think it was 200 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: a good first step for him. Our last question from 201 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: the fans tonight, where you can always tweet questions ins 202 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: by using hashtag Colts Roundtable, comes from Grant and he 203 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: wants to know how you feel the margin of error 204 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: is It seems like, you know a lot of things 205 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: went well, but it still have a hard time putting 206 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: opponents away. I mean, that's the NFL, and you know 207 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: that's the NFL. But that's where you know, that's where 208 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: you just have to fight and scratch and claw, you know, 209 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: in most weeks, most weeks around the league, that's what 210 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: it's coming down to. Margin of error is very thin, 211 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: and so you just got to make the most of 212 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: those opportunities, all right, Coach final A couple of things 213 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: with you. You talked about the short week you got 214 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Thursday night football with the Jets. The Jets played well 215 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: and sounded defeating the Bengals thirty four thirty one with 216 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback Mike White started his first game through 217 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: four hundred yards three touchdowns in the victory. The Jets 218 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: are too five, but two very quality wins with the 219 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Titans and then yesterday with the Bengals. What stands out 220 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: to you about the Jets? Yeah, I mean an impressive 221 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: performance you know by the quarterback in this first start, 222 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, throwing for four hundred yards obviously, so uh, 223 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: like you said, two impressive wins against two of the 224 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: better teams in the AFC. This is a very good defense. 225 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: They have a very very good defense that's been playing good. 226 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: The whole year. You know, offensively, they've been a little 227 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: bit up and down, but obviously found some good mojo 228 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: last week. So you know, we're gonna have to be 229 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: at our best. Now, we mentioned it's a Thursday night game, 230 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: So how does that going to affect, you know, your 231 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: prep and practice plan for this week. Yeah, it's just 232 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're like most teams when we get to 233 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: when we get to the Thursday night game, you know, 234 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: we have two walk throughs, you know, each day, and 235 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: you know, really just to get the guys ready mentally 236 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: and so plenty of time to do that. Guys lock 237 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: in the short turnaround is harder on them physically than anything. 238 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: It's really hard on them physically, hard on their body. 239 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: So they got to get rested up. We got to 240 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: get him walk through mode and then mentally they just 241 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: need to get locked in, you know, to what we 242 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: do in this plan through the walkthroughs that we do. Well. 243 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: There you go.

We were joined by Frank Reich 265 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: in the opening segment of the show, and you could 266 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: hear how tough that loss was for him. I mean, 267 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: the team played really well in all three areas of 268 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: the ballgame. They could not overcome some tough breaks, just 269 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: a little too much to overcome against the Titans. There 270 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: On Sunday News doesn't stop when you go to sleep. 271 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: Get caught up with Angela and Nick, Krista and Rachel 272 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: weekdays on CBS four. This morning, it is time to 273 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: bring in former coach and radio color analyst Rick Venturry 274 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: and also former offensive lineman Joe Wrights. Guys, that was 275 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: a tough one yesterday. For sure. It was a it 276 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: was a tough one to say the least. It was. 277 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: You know, it was just exhausting. You know, Matt and 278 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: I were just up and down the whole game. I 279 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: mean just you could just tense that, you could feel it. 280 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: The energy was great. It is just a you know, 281 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: it's kind of a throwback physical game. I mean, the 282 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee and the Colts are two different kinds of teams. 283 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: They're not like the modern day teams. I mean, they 284 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: slug it out. Both teams I thought, you know, really 285 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: really had elite effort. You know, it was a shame 286 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: somebody had to lose. But in the end, you know, 287 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: it's really it's just about making plays and finishing the 288 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: games in right now. The difference you know in Tennessee 289 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: in the Colts is that Tennessee, at least this season 290 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: and last season, I think, but particularly this year, they 291 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: just seem to find a way in crunchtown, in crunchtime 292 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: really to make the key play. They make the key play, 293 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Tannehill, whether it's Brown, you know, 294 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Buyed. You know, they find a way to 295 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: make the play in crunch time. In Unfortunately, the narrative 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: for the Colts is just the opposite. They just can't 297 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: find that, you know, just can't seem to finish. You know, 298 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: there's two statistics that strike me is that offensively, the 299 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Colts are number eighteen in scoring in the fourth quarter 300 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: with a seven seven point average, and they're twenty seventh 301 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: on defense within nine point two points given up. So 302 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of indicative of not being able 303 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: to finish. And the better finisher won the game yesterday. 304 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Agree with that coach, and you know, just such a 305 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: gut punch of a loss. Then you hear the news 306 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: today and what's actually true and but it's been reported 307 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: by a lot of people that Derrick Henry might be 308 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: out for the season. You just think, you know, the 309 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: division was right there, it was there for the taking. 310 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: We come out of the gates, it's fourteen to nothing. 311 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like we're gonna blow the doors 312 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: off Tennessee. But you know, they're really good football team, 313 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: and if the playoffs started today, they'd be the number 314 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: one seed in the AFC. And so on one hand, 315 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: you want to say that, hey, we're right there and 316 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: we're at close. On the other hand, you can kind 317 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: of say we're still a million miles away. Does that 318 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: make sense? And it just seems like, to Coach's point, 319 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: we haven't been able to finish games against the really 320 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: good teams. And that's a learned trait, that's a learned behavior, 321 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: you know. Bottom line, it's one thing to make a 322 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: play in the first quarter, second quarter. It's another thing 323 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: to do it fourth quarter, games on the line, overtime, 324 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: and we did not make those plays yesterday. I thought, honestly, 325 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about Carson's interception TD and they're talking about 326 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: the pick in overtime, which which was a bad throw 327 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: and a bad decision. But I thought we lost the 328 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: game on that long drive in the fourth quarter. We 329 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: took the ball over with eleven minutes left. We drive 330 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: all the way down. You know, we got first and 331 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: ten there on really their thirty six yard line. Taylor 332 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: goes for four and then you remember we got the 333 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: holding penalty holding on Ryan Kelly backs us up out 334 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: of field goal range. Then it's third and sixteen and 335 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: we have that pass to Dulin, but it's a little 336 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: bit high from Wentzon. We had to punt. You know, 337 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: if we had score there a field goal, now you 338 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: still got all three timeouts. There's five minutes left in 339 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: the game. If you stop Tennessee game over, even if 340 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: they score, you got time to win in regulation. I 341 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: really think that drive is the hidden thing nobody's talking 342 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: about today, and really where the Colts lost the game. 343 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: I feel like basically kind of the dovetail off what 344 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Joe just said. And I'm always interested in what do 345 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: you fix, you know, what happened yesterday, happened, figure out 346 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: what had happened, and how do you fix it for 347 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night and going forward? And I thought the four 348 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: things that beat us were number one, with a fourteen 349 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: point lead, that sequence, that third and four, in that 350 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: fourth and four, I'm not second guests and frank On 351 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: going for it. You know, that's that's a choice he made. 352 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: But the selection of plays and the execution was really 353 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: bad on both of them. On both for third and 354 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: four and the fourth and four, I thought, whence his 355 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: decision making the picts was bad, really bad, and I'm 356 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: not going to sugarcoat that. That's absolutely ridiculous. I thought 357 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: number three, there was absolutely no plan for Brown, which 358 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: is now the sixth time a receiver has had his 359 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: best game in eight weeks, and that's inexcusable. And I 360 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: can point out, we'll get into this later in the show, 361 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: situations where Henry's not even in the game and we 362 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: have no coverage, and then again, as I said before, 363 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: the inability to finish. So it isn't just one or 364 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: two things. There's some things there that have been there 365 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: for a long time that need to be fixed. And 366 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: it's a reason you're three and five. Well, Rick, I 367 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: want to start with that. You know, when you go 368 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: back and watch the tape, do you feel better or 369 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: worse about the loss considering the things the Colts did well, Well, 370 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: it's the loss itself I probably actually feel better about. 371 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: But what I don't feel good about is what I 372 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: see are constantly areas that are not fixed. Now, what 373 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: I feel better about is Wentz hasn't played this way. 374 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: This is that he has played at a real high level. 375 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: He's been in that you know, one hundred and seven, 376 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty passer rating week after week after week. 377 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: And this is the anomaly. Let's hope it's the anomally, 378 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, to quote a biblical term, to tweak it 379 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: a little bit, Wentz getteth and Wentz giveth and again 380 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: the giveth got in trouble there trying to make a 381 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: play force in the ball when it wasn't there. I 382 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: think our effort was outstanding. I thought our pass protection overall, 383 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: our pocket protection was pretty good. I think that's getting 384 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: better and better. But here's mistakes that we make in 385 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: big game. Again. We can't, you know, and I don't 386 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: think necessarily it cost us the game in Tennessee because 387 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: we scored thirty one points. Okay, but we can't. We 388 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: can't run the ball to Taylor sixteen times and throw 389 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: at fifty one. I mean that's silly. And we cannot 390 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: continue to have a defensive passer rating of twenty seven 391 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: in a pass and a pass completion record average against 392 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: US number thirty in the league. Those two things have 393 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: to be fixed and can be fixed if we want 394 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: to go forward. All right, Joe, what are your biggest 395 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: takeaways from watching the tape? I think one, if you 396 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: had told me coming into the game that Henry had 397 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,239 Speaker 1: twenty eight carries for sixty eight yards, I'd say, how 398 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: much did we win by? And let's move on to 399 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, right, and so shout out to the Colts 400 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: run defense, especially o Karakay boy. He played as physical 401 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: and as downhill as I've seen him in a Colts uniform. 402 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Really thought he played well. But bottom line, you know, 403 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: A J. Brown had eleven targets, ten catches, one fifty five. 404 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: He killed us. Like coach said, you know, the other 405 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: team's best receivers continue to beat us, and you know 406 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see us. I mean, at 407 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: the end of the day, double team AJ Brown and 408 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: makes somebody else beat you. You know, it's like you're 409 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: playing the Bowls and you know Steve Kerr hit the 410 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: shot to beat you. Steve Kerr does it, but George 411 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: is not going to do it. You know what I'm 412 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: saying in terms of taking away their number one receiving target. 413 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: But you know coach mentioned Taylor can't just run at 414 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: sixteen times for seventy yards. Again, he was the best 415 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: running back on the day and he would have been 416 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards if we didn't have some penalties 417 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: called back. That penalty against Chris Reid was just awful, 418 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: by the way, and it's not a crux on the official. 419 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: The officials were bad both ways. They made questionable calls 420 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: all game that we're bad against both teams. But again, 421 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: Taylor was on his way to another one hundred yard game. 422 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: And my point being, in my opinion, the three critical 423 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: areas of the game when we have fourteen nothing, third 424 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: and three on the forty Coach mentioned it, two deep passes, 425 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: Taylor didn't touch the ball when the Colts have that 426 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: critical drive in the fourth quarter that I felt where 427 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: it really turned the game. On that second and one 428 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: where we got to hold. Marlon Mack was in. It 429 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: was his only carry of the game. Didn't go down 430 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: to the stat book, but he was in instead of Taylor. 431 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Taylor just had a six yard run, a five yard run, 432 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: a four yard run. I'd love to see him continue 433 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: to stay and get hot, because I don't think he 434 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: gets tired. Then in overtime he had one carry for 435 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: four yards, and so bottom line to me, three critical 436 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: areas of the game that all went against the Colts. 437 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, in my opinion, has got to touch the 438 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: ball more in those crucial situations because I think he's 439 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: our biggest game breaker we have on the offensive side 440 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: of the ball. We'd love to hear from you. We'll 441 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: get to your questions in the next segment when we 442 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: visit the mail bag.

Real quick. Before 449 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: a break, we're gonna go to a little after further review, 450 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna go under the hood on some critical parts 451 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: of the game on Sunday, and we've kind of alluded 452 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: to it here. I want to stick with Carson Wentz. 453 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: He entered the game with just one reception for the 454 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: first seven weeks of the season. He passed Jeff George's 455 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: franchise record of two hundred and two, which was at 456 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: the record of the time for most consecutive passes without 457 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: an interception at two hundred and twelve. But he threw 458 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: two picks in his last nine attempts. So when you 459 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: look at further review WinCE in crunch time and his interceptions, Joe, 460 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: let's start with you. I'm gonna go with the second 461 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: interception over time was the bad one to me. He 462 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: threw into double what really ended up being triple coverage 463 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: when it was picked off by Bayard, the Titan safety. 464 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: But on that play, going back and watched the film, 465 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, there were three guys really open and Jonathan 466 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: Taylor was wide open. Right after the middle of the ball. 467 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: Taylor catches that ball, There's a lot of green grass 468 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: in front him. You're probably looking at a first down 469 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: on the forty forty five. But I felt like, you know, 470 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: he forced the ball to Pittman, and Pittman's made some 471 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: great catches. He made that huge catch in between three 472 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: guys when the Colts had that touchdown at the end 473 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: of the game, but I think one of those plays 474 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: where Tennessee knew he was going to throw the ball 475 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: to Pittman, they played him, and with the Colts only 476 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: having four receivers active t Y going down, only three 477 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: guys up there, Pascal Dueling and Pittman, they knew the 478 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: ball was going there, and they played like it. I 479 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: actually thought the play in regulation wasn't that bad because, 480 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: in my opinion, if you'd take a safety there, which 481 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: was he was on his way to take him when 482 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: they were running that screen pass to mo Alei that 483 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: didn't develop, that would have ended the game. There was 484 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: a minute twenty on the clock, the Colts only had 485 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: two timeouts. You kick it back to Tennessee. If you 486 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: get the ball back, you're gonna have like twenty seconds 487 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: left on probably your own ten yard line. So I 488 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: don't think that one was as bad because if you 489 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: take a safety there, essentially the game's over, and just 490 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: like you see some teams score or let the other 491 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: team score with a minute or two left to try 492 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 1: to score. I didn't think that one was bad, But 493 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: I think what coach mentioned earlier and I like is 494 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: it's more of an aberration. Were those really bad? Picking overtime. 495 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely was Whence not on his game and misfired a 496 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: lot of passes, for sure, But you go back the 497 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: previous four or five games, he's really been on it. 498 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: So hopefully this is a one game outlier, it's not 499 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: the trend moving forward. Yeah, you know again, I thought 500 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: that in this case, this time frame, and hopefully Frank 501 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: can prevent this from happening again. It was it was 502 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: the loss of awareness by him. In other words, you know, 503 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: he'll he will play sandlot ball, and sometimes it's to 504 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: your advantage. But when you're in your own end zone 505 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: and you got a screen call he had time to 506 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: throw that ball down at the feet of the tie, then, 507 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: I mean he had time. That is no place to 508 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: be scrambling and throwing with your left hand. I understand 509 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: the safety implication, but he could have thrown the ball 510 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: down at the feet. Basically Landry covered him, and that 511 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: is lack of awareness to start running around and doing 512 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: something silly, which he did. He got by with one 513 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: a week ago, but he did the same thing there. 514 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: And then lack of awareness with five minutes plus, five 515 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: minutes plus and you're running a play action on first down, 516 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: you got an hour to score, and you're what that 517 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: read is on that particular play, You're looking at Pittman 518 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: on the over to checkdown. We call it touchdown checkdown, 519 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: and basically Pittman was covered, the linebacker dropped underneath it, 520 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: both linebackers came off the play action long went back 521 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: underneath it had its stuff. The checkdown is there for 522 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: at least fifteen yards and if you get it to Taylor, 523 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: who knows what happens when he gets going, that he 524 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: could very easily be beyond the fifty when all you 525 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: it is a field goal, so you know you can't. 526 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: It's just that there's just really lack of awareness of 527 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: situations right there. And again it's it's a shame because 528 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: we have not seen that. We haven't seen that side 529 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: of Carson until yesterday. Do you think that's a little 530 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: bit coach with Ty being out and now you're really 531 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: down to kind of, you know, just him, Pascal and 532 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: Dulan who you know, you know, just really discounting him, 533 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: but that he just kind of fell too much in 534 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: love with Pittman and was going to try to give 535 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: him the ball, come hell or high water. Yeah, I 536 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: think there's some of that. Joe and then I think 537 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: there's a reversion. This was a little bit of his 538 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: problem and we have not seen this. We have not 539 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: seen this until yesterday in Philadelphia. He tried to make 540 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: plays that weren't there, and you know, in other words, 541 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: another word, he's it's a great quality because you know 542 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: he wants to he wants to extend and make plays 543 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: and sometimes you love it. It's just there's a point 544 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: in time when you're in a real disadvantage that you 545 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: can't do it well. Last after the further review here Fellas, 546 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: I want to go to the defensive side of the ball. 547 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: We talked about how good of a job they did 548 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: against Derrick Henry sixty eight yards on twenty eight carries, 549 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: just two point four yards per carry. But the passing 550 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: defense allowed A. J. Brown to have a season nine 551 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five receiving yards and that backbreaking fifty 552 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown in the second quarter that I felt 553 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: was kind of the turning point of the game. You know, 554 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: after further review the Colts uneven performance on defense, Coach, Yeah, well, 555 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. And you gotta remember this, 556 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: particularly in the National Football League, defense is an endeavor 557 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: in total It isn't one thing. It was a great 558 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: thing to stop Derrick Henry, There's no question about that. 559 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: Hats off to holding Derrick Henry at two point four. 560 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: And I thought I told Matt at the end of 561 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: the game that I thought that that was our most 562 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: physical front seven game, including the linebackers. And then put 563 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Zendejo in there and Kenny Moore. I mean we packed 564 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: it in there. I thought o'karak had the best game 565 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: of his career. You know, he found himself in at middle. 566 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: We were downhill on everything, Buckner Stewart. You know, we 567 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: did our job. We did that part of the job, 568 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: but we are clueless on the edge. Understand me. Clueless 569 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: on the edge again, Tannehill beat us with his own reads. 570 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: He got outside on boots. We are clueless on the edge, 571 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: and we are clueless on pass defense. Now let me say, 572 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: let me go back to Brown. Now, let me go 573 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: back to Brown. The fifty seven yard pass is a 574 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: tough one. It's one on one. You leave him one 575 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: on one out there, which you're gonna have to do 576 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: on first down or first down. I understand that because 577 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: you are basically playing the box on Henry. Now, what's unexcusable. Again, 578 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: is Roades just missing the tackle and going up there 579 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: soft and not wrapping him up. I went. I said 580 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: before the game that Brown had great yak, the best 581 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: yak in the league, and he showed it right there. 582 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: But you know what, I can almost live with that. 583 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Here's what I can't live with. Tactically, we gave them 584 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: two field goals and people aren't even talking about it 585 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: by not playing Brown in the third and the fourth quarter, 586 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: there's a third and seventeen situation. Third and seventeen, they're 587 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: out of field goal range. We go back into that 588 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: soft zone. He comes right down and runs a curl 589 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: for fifteen yards. Fifteen yards not covered, number one guy 590 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: on the team. They kicked the field goal. They get 591 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: in field goal range in the overtime because we get 592 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: the penalty, we still got a shot. And now it's 593 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: second and twenty to Henry's not even in the game. Okay, 594 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: third down, he's not going to carry it. Second and 595 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: twenty he's not in the game. McNichols is in the game, 596 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: so you know it's passed. We go with a five 597 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: man rush. We leave kennymore On in one on one 598 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: and there's no help underneath. So when there's no help underneath, 599 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: the nickel has to play inside of him. On release, 600 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: Kenny plays outside, he runs right across. I told Matt 601 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: before the play, they're going to run him right over 602 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: the middle to get in field goal range. He goes down, 603 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: he runs a seventeen yard completion. They're now in range 604 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. To me, that's inexcusable to 605 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: not dovetail too much on the secondary. You know, I 606 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: generally watch up front, and we just didn't have a 607 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: pass rush that we needed to have to win the 608 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: ball game. Bottom line, if you're just going to run 609 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: four guys and not blitz, which we didn't do a 610 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: whole lot of, you got to find a way to 611 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: have been production from the pass rush because it's tied together. 612 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: You know, if you have a great pass rush, your 613 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: secondary doesn't have to be as good. If your secondary 614 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: is great, gives you a little bit more time in 615 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: some leeway for those guys to get home. So continuing 616 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 1: to try to find a pass rush, and if we're 617 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: just going to rush four guys, it's it's either better 618 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: individual moves than one on one where it's got to 619 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: use scheme them up with some line games. You know 620 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: teet you know Tennessee got a sack on us on 621 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: a te earlier in the game, which was a breakdown 622 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: on the rights out of protection. But that continues to 623 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: be an Achilles heal for this Colts team, the inability 624 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: to really get a pass rush and lets unless we're 625 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: bringing you know, six or seven guys. Well, there you 626 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: have it. That was after further review with Rick Fenturry 627 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: and Joe Wrights looking at some pivotal moments from the game. 628 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: On Sunday, we will return with some of your Twitter 629 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: questions after the break.

We are taking your Twitter questions now. 641 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: You can send them in by using hashtag Colts round 642 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: Table like Johnny has done, and he asks how many 643 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: games can we afford to lose and still make the playoffs? 644 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: What is our magic number down the stretch with nine 645 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 1: games to play? Seven and two, eight and one. I'm 646 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna send this one to Joe, But first, you know, 647 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: you talk about eight and one. If the Colts finished 648 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: the season eight and one and don't make the playoffs, 649 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: I would be absolutely shocked because I think eleven wins 650 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: definitely gets you in. What say you agree if the 651 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: Colts finish eight and won, they're in. I think that 652 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: they can get in with ten wins. I think that 653 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: the AFC will play out that way. Now, the problem 654 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: with the AFC is everything is so jumbled. You have, 655 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, really twelve teams right now that have anywhere 656 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: from five losses or less, and so, in my opinion, 657 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: the division's done because you know, you're four games back 658 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: at Tennessee at this point, you know, and that's a 659 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: really tough, uphill battle. But I think there's teams Miami, Houston, Jacksonville, 660 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: the Jets in Denver. I don't think any of those 661 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: five teams can make the playoffs. I know Denver's four 662 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: and four, but they got a tough schedule down and 663 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: I just think they're not that good of a football team. 664 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: They'll fade. But so really, you're gonna have four division 665 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: winners and you're gonna have seven other teams compete for 666 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: those three spots. What I like about the Colts is 667 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: a lot of those teams are gonna beat each other up. 668 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: I mean, in the North, everybody's alive, Bengals, Brown, Steelers, Ravens, 669 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: but they all got to play each other and twice 670 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: and some of those teams are gonna lose some ball games. 671 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: So how I'm looking at the season now, it'd be different. Obviously, 672 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: if I was a player, I'd be worried about beating 673 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: the Jets, and the Jets only coming up basically seven 674 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: two hours from now. But you know, the Colts are 675 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna beat the Jets and the Jags at home. You're 676 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: gonna be five and five, and then it's a seven 677 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: game sprints of the finish, and in my opinion, you 678 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: got to go five and two over those games. You 679 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: got some tough ones at Buffalo, Tampa at home, the 680 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: Raiders at home at the Cardinals. But bottom line, if 681 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna get to the playoffs, the Colts margin for 682 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: air now is razor thin. I believe they've got to 683 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: go seven and two to make the playoffs, and I 684 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: think if they get to ten wins, I'll get it done. Joe, 685 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: do you think that Tennessee could nose dive without Henry? 686 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I do, but I think the fact they have the 687 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: tiebreaker over us, it's really a four game lead now, 688 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: not three, And that's why die, right, But that's why 689 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: it was a gut punch after the game. And then 690 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: when you hear the news this morning that Henry might 691 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: be out for the season, minimum it's a double gut 692 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: punch because I think they can for sure Nos died, 693 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: but a four game lead, that to me seems insurmountable 694 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: with nine games left. I mean, we talk about identity. 695 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: That is an identity crisis right now for them. Absolutely exactly. 696 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to Coults Roundtable Live. We're answering some Twitter questions. 697 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: You can tweet at us by using hashtag Coults Roundtable. 698 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: And next question from Bob kind of goes into the 699 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: coult running side of things. I know, we have a 700 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: lot of playmakers on our team, but can't we ride 701 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: Taylor to grind teams down. I think he can be 702 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: our version of Emmett Smith. We talk about Emmitt Smith. 703 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: That's some pretty elite company there, coach. Do you see 704 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 1: a little Emmett Smith and Jonathan Taylor? Oh yeah, well 705 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: with a lot more speed. You know, Emma Smith was 706 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: a four seven five that played behind a great one 707 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest offensive line of all time. Take nothing 708 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: away from Smith. He's in the Hall of Fame, but 709 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,239 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor has more ability by a long shot, you know. 710 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 1: And I said this a couple of weeks ago, and 711 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: I you know, I mean, it's it's it's a little 712 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: bit tongue in cheek, but I said it, and it's 713 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: come back to Hanaus. I said, the you know, the 714 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: only team that the only the only people that can 715 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: stop Jonathan Taylor is the Colt's coaching staff. I use 716 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 1: the analogy of Michael Jordan when he played at North 717 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: Carolina under Dean Smith. They have that real pattern slow 718 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: down basketball. They said. The only people that could keep 719 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: Jordan under twenty was Dean Smith, and you know, I 720 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: think there's something too that now. I'm also I'm not 721 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: at the school that believes that he's got to carry 722 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 1: the ball twenty seven times a game and that's how 723 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna win. I do believe in diversity over the 724 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: long haul. You know, we're established in more of that 725 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: with guys like Pittman. I do think that you have 726 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: to take what teams get for you. I think one 727 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: of the problems. I don't know that it was a 728 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: problem because it almost won the game for us, but 729 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: we knew that the Tennessee corners are just so bad. 730 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: You know, they were not they weren't governess and then 731 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: you know they they're just a passenger ference machine right 732 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: down to the last play of the regular you know 733 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: the regular sixty minutes. I mean they're PI all over 734 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: the place. So there is a tendency to, you know, 735 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: to make that happen. I think what you have to 736 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: be careful about. I think you have to make sure 737 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: and I think Joe will probably agree with me on 738 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: this is you have to have X amount of what 739 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: I call fixed runs for Taylor, in other words, runs 740 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: that are there, they're going to be runs regardless, they're 741 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: not checking out of them. You might check from one 742 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: side to the other, you you know, And in some 743 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: cases you need to get into some thirteen personnel, some twelve, 744 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, you know, i'd say twelve like twenty one. 745 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to get into some personnel groupings 746 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: where you can block the extra guys or get hats 747 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: on hats, because what happens. Our pos are really good 748 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: in theory, they really are good in theory, but nine 749 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: pounds out of ten in when you run an RPO 750 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: on first down, the ball is going to be a pass, 751 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: you know, because teams are playing I mean they play 752 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: eight man front almost exclusively on first down. And so 753 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: if you call ten RPOs in a game, you know 754 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: nine of them are going to be runs. They're gonna 755 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: be passes. So I mean, I think there's something to that. Again, 756 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: I think we have to have a better operation with 757 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: actual fixed runs where we know that he is going 758 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: to carry the ball. It might be a check with 759 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: me from right to left, but where it's gonna be 760 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: a run. And then the other thing is, you know, 761 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: I don't I just don't see rest of them. I 762 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: can see, I can see inserting hins every once in 763 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: a while for a screen for some kind of loose 764 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: play draw. But I want that guy in the game. 765 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: I said it all along. We are we are basically 766 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Pittman and a bunch of guys. You guys 767 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: can you know, you can be mascots and you can 768 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: build up everybody else, but we have two guys. That 769 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: is a defensive coordinator that I'm staying up nights worrying about. 770 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: And so basically those are the guys that should have 771 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: the ball well. And I agree with you, coach about 772 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, not rest and especially in the fourth quarter 773 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: o t That's what I was talking about earlier. That 774 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: second and six we put Mac in and you know 775 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: there was a holding penalty. Would have been different if 776 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: Taylor was in. I don't know, but I would have 777 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: liked to see that happen, you know, bottom line crunch time. 778 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: You know you got to have Taylor in the game. 779 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: And I agree with you on the design runs because 780 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 1: there's a difference in RPO where if it dictates the coverage, 781 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: you got to throw it. Then you throw the ball 782 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about, Coach, you mentioned check with me runs. 783 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: You go up to the line of scrimmage, you're in 784 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: a balanced formation. Carson can audible kill, kill kill, and 785 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: if the safety's down on the right side, you run 786 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: into the left side. But no matter what, you're coming 787 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: off the ball. And as an offensive lineman, you like 788 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: that too. I always felt like as an offensive lineman, 789 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: the more design runs where we were gonna knew we 790 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: were gonna run the ball, that just does something to 791 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: you mentally and emotionally. And as the game goes on 792 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 1: and on, the more of those you have in the first, second, 793 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: third quarter, you just feel better emotionally, you're better physically, 794 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: you're tougher in the defense continues to get more worn down, 795 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: and then you pop a big one in the fourth 796 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: quarter and you know, the ball game's over. And I thought, 797 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how you felt about looking 798 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: at it. I felt like Braydon did a really good 799 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: job for his first game back. I thought that he 800 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, and I see, I see our line sometimes 801 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: just on a dead run just absolutely grind people out 802 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: of there. I mean, That's why I'd like to continue 803 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: to do it. And what you're talking about is what 804 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: Tennessee is all about. They'll they'll emotion they'll create different sets, 805 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: but they're checking with me either to that power strong 806 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: or that open zone. I mean, if it's one or 807 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: the other. So I think we're on the same page 808 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: on that one.

Joe. I thought that o'karackay had his best 829 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: game as a cult in terms of tackle and he 830 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 1: had twelve tackles, ten solo. I mean, he was really 831 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: on it in a good way, bringing it downhill, physical 832 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: something he wasn't doing earlier in the season. You know, 833 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore nine tackles, seven solo. You know sendeo at 834 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: six solo tackles. Leonard was Leonard. But what I really 835 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: like is the physicality and the run game. And again 836 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: I mentioned those two guys in the secondary, Sundajo and 837 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, but o'karaka was really outstanding. I thought Grover 838 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: Stewart was really good. To shout out to him on 839 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: the nose. But as he continues to ascend, you know 840 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: number fifty eight, you pair him with fifty three, and boy, 841 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 1: that can be a really really good linebacker core here 842 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: for the future. As those guys, I think both are 843 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: on their way. Obviously, leonard Is but o'karaka too to 844 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: becoming a pillar player within this organization. Indianapolis Colts like 845 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: to celebrate Blue Out Week leading up to the primetime 846 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 1: matchup against the New York Jets on Thursday night. Football 847 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: Fans attending the game are encouraged to wear blue Colts 848 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: gear to coat the entire stadium in Colts blue for 849 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: primetime audience. Joe, I got to talk to you about 850 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,720 Speaker 1: that short turnaround. What's it like playing on a Sunday 851 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 1: and then following up playing a game on a short 852 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: week this Thursday? All right, Casey, this is going to 853 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: be a contrarian opinion. Most NFL guys hated the short week, 854 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: talk about how much their body hurts, etc. It's all true. 855 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: It's really hard to get your body ready to go 856 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: four days later for a game. But I loved it 857 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: as a player for two reason. Here's why won. Everybody's 858 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: about sixty seventy seventy five percent because you're beat up sore. 859 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: That favors the offensive line. If the defensive ends aren't 860 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: running at full one hundred percent speed because they're well rested, 861 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: that's good for us. But the reason I really liked 862 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: it is you got that mini buy on the back end, 863 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: and you just grind through it. You do whatever you 864 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: can to go down get the win. But then you 865 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: got a mini buy to rest and recharge. And I 866 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,439 Speaker 1: think for this Colts team, you know that their bye 867 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: week is until December, this is much needed for them. 868 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: You get this win, you get unplugged for you know, 869 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: forty eight hours or so, and then you kind of 870 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: start fresh. So that mini buy on the back end, 871 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: that's the carrot that's dangling there to go out and 872 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: push through any pain, sore, nous, fatigue, whatever you got. Well, 873 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: that short week comes against the Jets, who just got 874 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 1: their second win of the season, beating the Bengals on Sunday. Coach, 875 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: can you give us some insight on this Jets team 876 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: that that knocked off one of the hotter teams in 877 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: the NFL on Sunday? Well, yeah, I can. You know, 878 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: I just finished yesterday's game, and I'll be honest with you. 879 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: I do all the background week at the at the 880 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: end of the last week, and you know when I 881 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: write my summation on Saturday to be adjusted by the 882 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, you know I pretty much wrote it off. 883 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean I pretty much saw this team as really 884 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: a bottom feeder, as a team that the only threat 885 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: would be it would be a Thursday night game and 886 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: we see some crazy things happen in a short week 887 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 1: or that the Colts would be exhausted and maybe flattened, 888 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: not ready to go. But I'll be honest with you, 889 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: they really got my attention. Yesterday they caught the Bengals 890 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: napping to a degree, but in the end, they really 891 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: beat the Bengals. They really did a great job. And 892 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: something that's really really interesting when they lost Wilson, you know, 893 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: who is their hope for the future at quarterback, and 894 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: they brought in Mike White, who you know, started at 895 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: South Florida ended up at Western Kentucky. You know, they 896 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: brought him in, and everybody goes, who is Mike White? 897 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: It was, you know, everybody was loud. But in the 898 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,479 Speaker 1: last two weeks, in the last six quarters, listen to this. Now, 899 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: he's fifty seven for seventy seven with a forty seventy 900 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: one point four percentage, six hundred and seventy six hundred 901 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: and seven yards ninety three point two passer rating, and 902 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: yesterday against the Bengals, he threw for four hundred and 903 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 1: five yards. I mean four hundred and five yards I mean. 904 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: And one thing about the kid is he's aggressive. He's 905 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: quick setting up, he gets rid of it quick. His 906 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: accuracy is a little bit erratic, but he's not afraid 907 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: to get after you. Now, they do a great job. 908 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: They've got two running backs, and most of you from 909 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: the draft, you know, you know, basically know their running backs. 910 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: The kid Carter from North Carolina, I think he led 911 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: the league, he led the NCAA and miss tackles against him. 912 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: You know, he had one hundred and seventy two total 913 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: yards yesterday. William with him. They have two running backs 914 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: and they just feed him the ball in the passing 915 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: game as much as the running game. I called him 916 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: check down Charlie, but he was better than that. You know. 917 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: They've got a couple of solid veteran receivers and Cole 918 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: and Davis, but they've got two really good young kids 919 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: that are come and Elige you More and Mims. And 920 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: then they've got a really good slot in Crowder. He's 921 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: been a really top slot number eighty two for a while. 922 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: A couple of decent tight ends and Croft and Griffin, 923 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: who we know their offensive line is shaky on the 924 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: right side, not really good there. I think you could 925 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: kill their right tackle. I think Moses is a total liability. 926 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 1: But I mean they got after it. They played their 927 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: tails off. You know, we'll get into it more, and 928 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: their defense came alive. It gave up a lot of yards, 929 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: but they got some plays. They've got some investment players 930 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: like Quinnin Wilson Williams and Rankins and Shack Lawson. Zeninga 931 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: had his first sack. I mean, they really played their 932 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: tales off. And ironically there when their wins are against 933 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 1: Tennessee and the Bengals, and again a team that I 934 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: wrote off really really got my attention. I mean, they 935 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: really played their tales off. So you know, but I 936 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: think that's probably a good thing because you know, Joe 937 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: alluded to it before, is that you probably had they 938 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: gone out and had a bad performance Sunday, you know, 939 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: and us coming off this thing, you know, we may 940 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: not have they may not have gotten our attention, but 941 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: if you watch that tape yesterday, they will get your attention, 942 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 1: you know. And at this point, really there's only a 943 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 1: bit of future with us, and that's one week at 944 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: a time, one game I mean, we've only won three games. 945 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: Who the hell do we think we are? We better 946 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: be ready for Thursday night and we better play in 947 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: one week capsules, I mean, nothing else matters.
