Speaker 2: But JJ, I mean, the vibe is here, man. Football

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080

Speaker 2: lost to the Texans week eighteen.

31
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: While I was walking across the practice field to get

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: to media availability today and I'm looking out at this

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: beautiful verdant green field with the goalposts, look at that

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: one word, and it's a great word, And all I

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: could hear was Mayta's voice saying it's time for another

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: season of Colts football.

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty three football is back. Colts Training Camp

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: brought to you by Course and Fire and Security. Colts

00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: Football returns in twenty twenty three. It's like, no John Facinda.

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: It's like the slow pan you know, with you, like

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: you get the NFL film's trumpets in the background.

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: The autumn wind. Yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much.

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: That's how it felt out here. It is so good

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: to be back. It's so good to have actual things

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: to talk about, no doubt, even if practice hasn't even

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: started yet, right, like, but it's so good to you know,

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: to see all these guys back here. Hear from them,

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: their perspective on how things are going to go in camp,

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: how they view their team, their chances this year. Yep,

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: it's exciting. This like the first day of school.

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: You know. It's one of those things that you bring

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: that up.

54
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 4: It always brings you back to the fact that everybody's

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: starting the same spot. Everybody right now has a clean slate.

56
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: These guys are coming up here like I love Zaion

57
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: or Franklin was asked, you know, you guys kind of

58
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: come in with very little expectation, new coach, new quarterback,

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: and he said, yeah, I remember one time we were

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: out here at Grand Park. I'm sitting in the cafeteria

61
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: and we're ranked as a thirty second worst defense in

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: the league, which is the worst defense in the league,

63
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: and five weeks later, we are the top team in

64
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: the NFL. He goes, That's the thing I love about

65
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: this because the NFL is all about narratives and they

66
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: change week to week. And he is spot on because

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: that's what happens right now. Everybody has a clean slate.

68
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 4: You've got you know, storylines you're talking about, but right

69
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: now this is the start of it. And I love

70
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: that vibe.

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, tangent here, But I mean everybody talks about if

72
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: you look at the Colt schedule, everybody wants to break

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: it down, how tough is it?

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: How easy is it? Right? I mean, this is the NFL. Dude.

75
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna be sitting here in week ten talking about

76
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: a game where back in May we said, well, this

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: is a win for the Colts, or this one hundred

78
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: challenge yep, but injuries derail a season. Last year, the

79
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: NFL set a record for highest number of games decided

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: by eight or less points, so one score games. So

81
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: all these games, I mean parody in the NFL. Obviously,

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: it runs rampant and it's not like baseball. It's not

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: like basketball. Teams can turn it around very quickly. That's

84
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: what the culture trying to do here, coming off of

85
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: four to twelve and one season with a new head coach. Obviously,

86
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard talked very in depth about that today. So

87
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: we have a lot to get to. Plus later on

88
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: the podcast here we're going to be joined by Michael

89
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior going into year number four, get his thoughts

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: on a fresh campaign. But some housekeeping items. All three

91
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: draft picks that had yet to sign their rookie contracts

92
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: going into camp this week. All of those guys are good.

93
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: They're on board the ink their deals, they're in place,

94
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: they're ready to go. Those players would be Anthony Richardson,

95
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Blake Freeland, and Juju Brintz. Also today, the team officially

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: made it an official with the signing of free agent

97
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: defensive end al Kadeen Muhammad. He's back with the Colts.

98
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: He was here in Indianapolis from twenty eighteen to twenty

99
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: twenty one. He was with the Bears last year, reuniting

100
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: with Matt Eberflus. So he's back in a familiar situation,

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: at least from a geographic standpoint. New defense obviously under

102
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: Gus Bradley that he's going to have to come to

103
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: grips with. But earlier today, as we said, Chris Ballard

104
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: JJ met with the media to discuss some of the

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: bigger storylines surrounding this team going into camp. He met

106
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: with the media for about a half an hour. A

107
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: lot that he got into there, I mean, some of

108
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: the bigger notes that I down. He talked about Shaq Leonard,

109
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: he talked about Anthony Richardson, obviously, talked about Jonathan Taylor,

110
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: the offensive line, bouncing back some of the position battles,

111
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: his disappointment with Isaiah Rodgers a lot that you can

112
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: go back and he listened to with Chris. The full

113
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: press conference is available now on colts dot com. But

114
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: for you, JJ, what were some of your bigger takeaways

115
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: from what Chris had to say?

116
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: So?

117
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: I think to start, he's pleased with the work that

118
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: Shack Leonard has put in, and I think the the

119
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: headline here is the check Leonard is not on. That

120
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: means he is past his physical right now. That doesn't

121
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: mean he has been cleared for contact yet, but Chris

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: Pallard said that that is still going to be a process.

123
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: We're going to bring him along, but the check Leonard

124
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: has passed his physical and will not start on pup.

125
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: That is an important note.

126
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: And is going to be practicing.

127
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: He's going to be participating in individual drill.

128
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: They're going to ramp that up. Honestly, I can only

129
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: speak for myself on this, the two of you, but

130
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: that's more than one I thought we were gonna hear

131
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: it today, regriting Scheck. That's more of an encouragement than

132
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna hear.

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: Well, and guys. Guys get put on pup, you know,

134
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: and then sometimes they get taken off after a day.

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: Sometimes they get taken off after a week. Sometimes they're

136
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: on for the entirety of camp. Shack last year started

137
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: on PUP and he wasn't activated or he wasn't removed

138
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: from it until I think it was back when the

139
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Colts got back to their facility after training camp was over.

140
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: So I would take that as encouraging news. I don't

141
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: think anyone, and I don't think Chris wants anyone to

142
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: read into that means he's gonna be ready for Week one.

143
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: The Colts still are not putting a timetable on when

144
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: he's going to be game ready. But in terms of

145
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: it being an important step forward, that is probably my

146
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: number one takeaway that I heard from Chris Ballerton.

147
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also in terms of injuries, there two guys

148
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: are gonna be going on pup. From a Newsworthy standpoint,

149
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: those players would be Taekwon Lewis coming off his injury

150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: right around the start of November last year, the same

151
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: injury had in twenty twenty one, with that Pateller injury.

152
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: Will Mallory, the Colts rookie draft pick out of Miami

153
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: at the tight end position. He had a foot injury

154
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: during the spring. He's going to start camp on pup.

155
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: Chris did said that taekewe Lewis is getting close, probably

156
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks out. Mallory close to getting back,

157
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: maybe not as long, but we'll see on that.

158
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: And the other thing for people who are listening to this,

159
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: if it comes out, then more players got put on

160
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: pp Those are the only ones that Chris is able

161
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: to share with us because the Colts are still going

162
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: through the physical correct process with the guys who are

163
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: in the building right now.

164
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: Some of the things that we do know Juju Brints,

165
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: according to Chris Ballard, he's going to be limited early

166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: on in camp due to that wrist injury that he

167
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: had at the end of his final college season coming

168
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: out of k State. Drew Ogletree has been cleared, but

169
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: he will be limited early on in camp, so watch

170
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: out for him trying to match the same production and

171
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: excitement and dynamic play that he had this time last

172
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: year in camp as a rookie. Michael Pittman Junior is

173
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: going to be limited early, although he did talk to

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: the media today said he's very confident about his injury.

175
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: He participated in the off season, which we're gonna hear

176
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: with some guys gathering of players that they galvanized themselves

177
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: to get together in Miami. So he said, according to

178
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: Pittman himself, that he was full go, no limitations with

179
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: with that. Back in June and July, Johnny Woods says

180
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: that he's good to go. He missed some time in

181
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: the off season workout program in the spring, so that's

182
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: kind of the injury run down for the Colts skulling

183
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: into the first.

184
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: For although overall though I think so far a pretty

185
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: encouraging bill a health to start training. You're not gonna

186
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: have everyone. I don't think any team is ever going

187
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: to have all ninety guys be ready to go. But

188
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: you know, especially with you know, Shack again as kind

189
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: of that headliner there, that he's going to be out

190
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: there participating in individual drills. It all feels generally encouraging

191
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: in terms of injuries as we start camp here.

192
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: And one of the things I took of it when

193
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: we watched OTAs we talked about how the defense appeared

194
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 4: to be, you know, a little bit ahead of the offense,

195
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: and it was in part because you saw all of

196
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: the skilled players that were not being able to be

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: out there. So when this press conference happened, I was

198
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: anxious to hear who of those guys would still be limited,

199
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: and I you know, maybe some of those guys might

200
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: be limited, but they're gonna be out there. They're gonna

201
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: be taking those reps with Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson

202
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: because that is so important right now. I mean, you

203
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: hear all these guys talk about how important that relationship

204
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: is in that bond. So that's one of the things

205
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: I'm very encouraged that a lot of those guys that

206
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: did not participate in OTAs, we did not hear that

207
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: they're going to be starting on pup or that they're

208
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: going to take a lot of time to get back

209
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: into that full, you know, ready to go mode.

210
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: So all right, let's talk about Anthony Richardson. Chris Ballard

211
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: had a lot to say about his first couple of

212
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: days in camp and his acclamation as a rookie, saying

213
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: that Anthony Richardson really is wired to handle all that

214
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: comes with playing quarterback in the NFL, both on and

215
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: off the field. Said he's a very stable person he's

216
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: had talks with him in the off season leading up

217
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: to training camp, knows Richardson is going to be kind

218
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: of a week to week thing in term of what

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: he can handle. And there's really no set criteria on

220
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: when they're going to know if and when he's ready

221
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: to play and if he's going to be the starter

222
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: week one of the regular season. But Chris said he's

223
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: going to lean heavily on the coaching staff what they're

224
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: seeing and how much they are able to kind of

225
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: take in and notice what he's able to process. I

226
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: thought it was really interesting that Chris Ballard knows this

227
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: is a very fluid situation. There's no timeline. We're not

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: going to back ourselves into a corner on this decision.

229
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: So Anthony Richardson, really when we come out here, we're

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: going to see everything that Chris Ballard is seeing in

231
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: real time for the first time.

232
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: And that's the you know.

233
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: One of the questions that I think Bob Kravitz even

234
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: asked was how do you know? And Chris was honest,

235
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: I don't think you ever know. Yeah, And when the

236
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: bullets fly, When the bullets fly, it's different. And that's

237
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: the thing, you know, you've heard the only way for

238
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: him to get better is to get out there and play.

239
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: You got to be smart.

240
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: You got to make sure that when he is out there,

241
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: he's ready to take those I think everybody seems to

242
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: be saying the same thing and on the same page.

243
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: So I don't know necessarily if it's for sure week

244
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: one this guy is going to be out there, But everybody,

245
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: I think is on the same timeline with in order

246
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: for this guy to really get a good evaluation of

247
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: everything we've seen off the football.

248
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: Field, has checked those boxes.

249
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: It sounds like he's got the mental makeup, he's got

250
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: the habits to study and practice and everything's there.

251
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: You just got to know what you have on the field.

252
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: Everybody seems to be kind of on that same page

253
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: that you got to get him out there, and you

254
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 4: don't necessarily know when that's going to be, but the field,

255
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: it's exactly it's going to be the field.

256
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: Here's the thing is, like everyone's always ad what is

257
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: he going to play? When is he going to play?

258
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: He's gonna play week one? The Colts don't know yet, right,

259
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: I mean, like Chris Ballard is saying that in his

260
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: press conference, Like you can do everything you need. You know,

261
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: you can. You can see how he operates, you can

262
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: do all these but once you get him in live action,

263
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: that's when you're really gonna find out. And he's like

264
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: even in eleven out eleven at training camp, he can't

265
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: get hit. Different you know, you get him out there

266
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: in eleven out eleven in preseason games, he can get hit.

267
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 3: That's going to be important, But it's also going to

268
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: be important out here in the practice fields because he's

269
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: going to be facing more uh probably exotic coverages in

270
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: fronts than he's gonna face any game. So it's all important.

271
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: But he hasn't even had a training camp practice yet, right,

272
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: we don't know. You can. You can sit here and guess,

273
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: but you know, until until Shane Steichen and Jim Bob

274
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: Cooter and Cam Turner and Chris Ballard and Jim Mersay

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: and this entire organization gets their eyes on him over

276
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: the next month or so, you're not gonna know what

277
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: who's gonna start week one And the other thing too,

278
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew here and Chris Baller talk about Gardner Minshew

279
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: and basically just like he's he's so competitive.

280
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's wired to be the starter. Yeah, he's being

281
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: a good teammate.

282
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: At the same time that that line that that Gardner

283
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: has towed of being competitive, believing he's the guy, but

284
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: also acknowledging that Anthony's here and we're gonna we're gonna

285
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: work together to be better. If you need to start,

286
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew, You're gonna be good with that, because, as

287
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: Ballard said, every time Gardner Minshew's taking the field, he's

288
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: been good. I mean we've seen it here. Yeah, completion

289
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: percentage fourth hest history the cult. So we know what

290
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: he can do.

291
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. And I'm not sure if

292
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: you ever really know about Anthony Richards he could. He

293
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: could have a great camp, he could have a great

294
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: preseason and fare very well in those joint practices against

295
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: the Bears and the Eagles, and it's still just those

296
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: are just benchmarks along the way. Those are just barometer

297
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: tests and until you're out there week one against one

298
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: of the best defenses in the NFL, by the way,

299
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: Week one against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Yes, preseason and joint

300
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: practice that those are going to tell you a lot.

301
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: But again, until those live bullets are flying around you

302
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: and you have to make decisions and the you know,

303
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: I hate these cliches, but you know, once the red

304
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: lights on and the cameras on and it's for real

305
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: and you're playing for keeps, you truly just do not know.

306
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that all plays out with Anthony Richardson.

307
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: Starting tomorrow, the first day of practice, Colts dot com

312
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: They've already got four of them more practice dates that

313
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 2: are already quote unquote sold out. Let's talk position battles.

314
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: That was something we were going to talk about. That's

315
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: something that Chris Ballard definitely mentioned as well. And JJ,

316
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: I mean he didn't have to think long and hard

317
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: about the top position battles on this team. It's tight

318
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: end and it's cornerback.

319
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of.

320
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: Playmaking ability the tight end position, but at the cornerback spot,

321
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: it's a lot of young depth and playmaking ability that

322
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: has a chance to shine right away as rookies in

323
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: first and second year players.

324
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: Did you catch the little story that Chris shared about

325
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: the cornerback, specifically Dallas Flowers. Yeah, but I was Stefan Gilmore.

326
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: He just kept telling him over and over again. Man,

327
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: this Flowers guy's really.

328
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: Pretty good endorsement. Right now.

329
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: I'll tell I'll take Stefan Gilmore's word for yeah. And

330
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: when it comes to a cornerback position, the youth that

331
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: cornerback does not seem to face Chris Ballard and I

332
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: know we've talked about it quite a bit on this show,

333
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: but they're length and athleticism in that group. Those are

334
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: you know, Gus Bradley wants guys. He wants taller corners,

335
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: who have long arms, who've got some speed, some athletic ability.

336
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: Obviously that these guys, these five guys that I think

337
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: we've sort of highlighted, which would be Dallas Flowers, Darryl

338
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: Baker Junior, Juju Bryant's, Darius Rush, and Jalen Jones, they

339
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: all kind of fit that bill yep, right. But the

340
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: youth at cornerback, it doesn't. It never has really phased

341
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: me because you've got these athletic guys. But if the

342
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: pass rush for the Colts is what they think it

343
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: can be with you know, Samson Ebcom sliding in at

344
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: that defensive end position next to DeForrest Buckner, but he

345
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: got Dio Dangbo coming on hot. You know. Buck today

346
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: was talking about how good Dio has looked during the spring,

347
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: how a healthy quity pay is such a huge problem

348
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: for teams. If this d line can be that attacking,

349
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: just pressuring the quarterback, blowing up an offensive line group,

350
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: that's going to take a lot of the pressure off

351
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: these young corners to be on an island, to be,

352
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: you know, in positions where they're going to be tested

353
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: quite a bit. So it all is going to work

354
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: together on that. And that's why I guess if the

355
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: pass rush isn't what we think it is, and I

356
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: think I'm more worried about the corners because of the youth,

357
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: but ultimately you pair that athleticism with a good pass rush,

358
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it.

359
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Also too.

360
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: The offensive line, Chris Baller talked about that, very convicted

361
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: that this group's going to rebound that can play much

362
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: better than they did last year. A fresh voice coming

363
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: in and Tony Sperano Junior and Casey. Chris also hinted

364
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: that at the end of last year they were they

365
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: were good they did not play as bad as the

366
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: narrative swirling around them would suggest. They they played good,

367
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: and Ryman's going to take another step. Chris talked about

368
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: how good of a spring that he had, how much

369
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: that he grew mentally and then also physically.

370
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about that in the past.

371
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: Bernard Rayman looks apart right now playing left tackle and

372
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: taking over that that position. They're going to continue to

373
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: look at the old line to see if they need

374
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: to bolster that. But he's happy about their ability to

375
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: run the ball at the end of last year, and

376
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: I just think, more so than anything, just convicted that

377
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: group is going to run it back and be in

378
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: a good spot with a new scheme, a new quarterback.

379
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: And I think those guys have a big chip on

380
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: their shoulder giving up those sixty sacks and just not

381
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: playing up to their collective standard that they set for

382
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: themselves from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one.

383
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: It's something I've talked about the entire offseason as I've

384
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: been bullish on this line. I think that it really

385
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 4: you look at like I look at Bernard Ryman and

386
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: the way he played the last half of the year.

387
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: I think was very, very serviceable as a left tackle,

388
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 4: and that was his first time doing it. And ultimately,

389
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: he's so young at playing that position that he's going

390
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: to continue to grow. And it looks like he's got

391
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: that mental makeup to take those necessary steps to get

392
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: to where he wants to be as a you know,

393
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: a really good left tackle in this league. And you've

394
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: seen good play out of guys like Ryan Kelly, Quinton Nelson,

395
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: Braden Smith. You get all of that together, you throw

396
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: in you know, you talked about the offseason Will Fryes had.

397
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: He was very glowing about the offseason he had, So

398
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: I'm right there with him. I think this this group

399
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 4: the five that we saw in the year last year,

400
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 4: if that's the five that's out here, I really do

401
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: like the way that that's going to look.

402
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: And JJ he said during the draft like there were

403
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: there were guys they liked, it just didn't come up

404
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: on their board to be in a position to draft

405
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: those guys. I mean, Chris also understands what's being said

406
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: and what the narrative is. I mean, he understands, like

407
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: I'm running it back with a group that allowed the

408
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: second most sacks in the history of this franchise, right,

409
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: he understands sort of the gamble if you want to

410
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: call it that, with all pro players like Quentin Nelson

411
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: and Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith, time's going to tell

412
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: who was right about this decision to keep this corp together.

413
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: And here's what I and Chris has echoed this and

414
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: I've talked about this is like the offensive line in

415
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: the second half of last season really was not the

416
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 3: disaster that the first half of the season, you know,

417
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: made it out to be. Right, Like, if you turn

418
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: on the tape, the offensive line was better. They weren't great,

419
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: They weren't you know, no one's confusing them for the

420
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: best group in the NFL. But they were good. They

421
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: got the job done. There was consistency and who was

422
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: on the field. And Bernard Rayman, I think, you know,

423
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: you look at obviously the sacks everyone's gonna remember, but

424
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 3: on a play to play basis, who's solid. You got

425
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: the job done, especially in the run game. And the

426
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: discussion about like should you have added should you have

427
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 3: not added with the draft always goes back to you

428
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: can't reach to fill a need. So if you're sitting

429
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: there and you're you're looking at Blake Freeland at a

430
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: Tami Wa at a bare and then maybe a guard

431
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: who you have lowered down on your board and you like,

432
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: we got these two fourth round picks, we really need

433
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: a right guard. Let's reach for this guy. Then all

434
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: of a sudden you don't have maybe out of Tamawadebara,

435
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: who the Colts think can be a really good player

436
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: as a three technique in this league. You just you

437
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 3: have to be able to stick to your board and

438
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: get good players in and then trust the guys who

439
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: are still in the building. So you know, and look,

440
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: there is always a risk that you need to go

441
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 3: out and make a move between now and the end

442
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: of camp. But that's something that the Colts have always

443
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 3: looked to and always said we are okay doing that.

444
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: They've done that after the draft when everybody said you

445
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: got to go get a left tackle in the draft.

446
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: You know, they did that a handful of years ago

447
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: with Eric Fisher. So definitely a fluid situation there. Michael

448
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior is coming up on the podcast here in

449
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 2: just a few moments, but before we get to Pitt,

450
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: I do want to close with this in terms of

451
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: the discussion on the day every training camp. There's always

452
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: players casey that have something to prove, right either coming

453
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: off a down year, trying to make the roster, scratching

454
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: and clawing, living up to expectations, living up to the

455
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: pressure that you know, the internal expectations have set for them,

456
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: or the external expectations from the fan base have set

457
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: for them. Give me a player on this team. I'll

458
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: put you on the spot to a degree, but a

459
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: player that has something to prove for whatever reason in

460
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: this camp going into the twenty three season.

461
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Julian Blackman. I mean, we

462
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 4: think he's going to be playing, you know, that strong

463
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 4: safety spot. He's been injury plagued his first couple of years.

464
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 4: When he plays, you see how important he is. This

465
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 4: is a contract year for him. This this is a

466
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 4: big time in his NFL career, and I think you

467
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: haven't seen the full Julian Blackman. And if he can

468
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: stay healthy, I think he is on pace to have

469
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 4: a really big year, really big year for this defense.

470
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: Help him out financially to get a you know, one

471
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 4: of those lucrative deals, because I think that's the kind

472
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: of player he is. So I think Julian Blackman might

473
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: be my guy. When I look at this team, who

474
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 4: is is primed for. If he has a big, successful

475
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: year like he wants to have, I think he could

476
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: be huge.

477
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Chris Bellard is very high on his ability to make

478
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: that position switch, very high on Julian Blackman just as

479
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: a player and a person in all his leadership, but

480
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: also kind of downplayed how significant of a move it

481
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: is to go from free safety is strong safety. Those

482
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: two positions obviously in this defense and Gus Bradley's scheme

483
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: kind of interchangeable do the same things based on down

484
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: in distance and things like that. So Julian Blackman's a

485
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 2: football player, He's going to be able to handle that,

486
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: no problem.

487
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put Kenny Moore the second on this a

488
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: great because that great still yours. We have heard nothing

489
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 3: but very honest today.

490
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: By the way, Yes, yeah, very candid and humble and

491
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: you know, some inner reflection. But there's a lot of

492
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: stuff that he said that would be hard to admit

493
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: in a public forum, like Kenny did.

494
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: I think that that self reflection that he did after

495
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: last season is really going to benefit him because he's

496
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: a good player. He's a good football player. We've seen it,

497
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: and I think he's got the right mindset to get

498
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: back to being the player that we knew him to be,

499
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: you know from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one that

500
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 3: culminated him and making the Pro Bowl. I really believe

501
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: that out of him. But it's something to prove because

502
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: he is he is going into the last year of

503
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: his contract and he he's a guy who you know,

504
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: Chris Ballard addressed rumors that the Colts would consider trading

505
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: him this offseason. You know, he did that before the

506
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 3: draft and said, you know, we decided we wanted to

507
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: keep him here because he's a good Colt. We want

508
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: him on our team. But this is a big year

509
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: for him to prove that last season that was that

510
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: wasn't who he is. Yeah, right, and I think he

511
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: is very much on the right track to being able

512
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: to do that.

513
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said in the off season, back in the spring,

514
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: like there was a lot of conversations that had to happen,

515
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: some deep personal conversations that had to take place in

516
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: order for him to just stay in Indianapolis, because we

517
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 2: heard all about the off season chatter what his future

518
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: was Indianapolis here with the Colts so great answer right there.

519
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore, the second Julian Blackman. Players that have something

520
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 2: to prove going into twenty twenty three for different reasons.

521
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: Another guy that has something to prove, coming off a

522
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: ninety nine catch season and trying to have a huge

523
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: year for the Colts in year number four, going into

524
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 2: a contract year. Michael Pittman Junior sat down with us

525
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: a little bit early today, talked about his excitement reporting

526
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: for another camp, going into year number four, working with

527
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: new quarterbacks, being a dad once again, having his second

528
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: child in the off season here in the summer. So

Speaker 2: for you? I am just excited to be here and

538
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 2: just going into year four. A lot has changed.

539
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: It feel like it happened so fast, ready to take

540
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 5: it day by day and just enjoy it.

541
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: Offseason wise, it felt like it felt like a very

542
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: fast offseason with all that that happened surrounding this team

543
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: in terms of new coaching staff on the offensive side

544
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: of the ball and new hit coach, some quarterback changes.

545
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you got in what you needed

546
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: to get in work wise in the offseason in preparation

547
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: for this first couple of days of camp here. Absolutely,

548
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: we did a couple of team, well not team but

549
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: player player deals, Like we went out to Miami. We

550
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: were doing stuff here. Did did a couple of things

551
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 2: like in like California. So we definitely had fun and

552
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: like we got working and things around here have been

553
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: a constant change and you just gotta roll with it,

554
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: keep rolling.

555
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 3: Were what were those player or you know, player led

556
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 3: things like who showed up to them and what were

557
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: you guys doing?

558
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we had a good turnout.

559
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 5: I mean I would say ninety percent of our offensive

560
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 5: skill players were able to go and then and then

561
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: other people have things pre planning and stuff, so you

562
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 5: can't expect them to drop everything that they had. But

563
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 5: we had a very good turnout. I was very happy

564
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 5: with it. It all went well, you know, you know,

565
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 5: we did walk through, as we did routes on air,

566
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 5: we did like play study.

567
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: So it went better.

568
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 5: Than I expected it to go, you know, because I've

569
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 5: never really helped plan something like that, you know, it's

570
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 5: always been up to somebody else. So so it turned

571
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 5: out better than what I hoped.

572
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: That's kind of you taking on a leadership role and

573
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: you're four, I mean, you're you're a vet in that

574
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 3: room now at skill Position room.

575
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: Absolutely, we got a room full of young guys that

576
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 5: have a lot to prove, and I think that they're hungry.

577
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 5: I think that they're ready. I think that they're going

578
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 5: to show people that were not what everybody thinks we are.

579
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 5: You know, you know that we're more than that.

580
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior is our guest. What were your big

581
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: takeaways just from the install of the offense and getting

582
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: to know Shane Steichen and how he is as a

583
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: play caller, how he is as a head coach in

584
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: the offseason, just the groundwork that was laid in the

585
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 2: spring going into the summer here.

586
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say the offense is very similar to

587
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 5: what it was my rookie year. Okay, there's a lot

588
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 5: of similarities, and Shane just brings a different energy him

589
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 5: being one of the like younger coaches, you kind of

590
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: expect younger coaches to be those offensive minds, you know,

591
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: the mcveigh's and the Shanahans and like those guys, you know,

592
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 5: like they're like dialing it up.

593
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: So I think that you can expect that from him.

594
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: What about just how he he kind of handles things

595
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: in the building, the expectations he has for you. You know,

596
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: at every moment you're in the facility or you're up

597
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: here at training camp, what sort of impression did he

598
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 3: leave on you with that?

599
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely, we have our colts team pillars and he kind

600
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 5: of lives by those and and he kind of demands

601
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: everybody to follow the same rules and it keeps everybody

602
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 5: on the same path, keeps everybody doing what they're supposed

603
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 5: to be doing.

604
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: And I mean I think.

605
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 5: That's great, like for like our team because like in

606
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 5: the past, I mean, we may not have had great accountability,

607
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 5: and he's really sticking to that. So we just got

608
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 5: to stick to that. From from week one all the

609
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 5: way to week seventeen, and then we'll see what happens

610
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: after that.

611
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: How much does that matter? Is that a huge thing?

612
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Can you notice that?

613
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Can you see that manifesting itself in the locker room?

614
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Between you and the players.

615
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean that can be the difference between you

616
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 5: winning a game and like losing a game, because if

617
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 5: you don't do everything you need to do consistently, then

618
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 5: you can't have consistent production when it's crunch time. So

619
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: really preaching that, I think is actually the most important thing.

620
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, it's Michael Pittman Junior with us. Let's talk

621
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: about you.

622
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: Where do you think you have grown the most from

623
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: your rookie training camp? Can you remember back three years

624
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: ago just how you felt going into this setting for

625
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: the first time, and then how much more comfortable you

626
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: are now as a person, as a player, as a father,

627
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: Just the growth that you've.

628
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: Had in three short ears here.

629
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean my first camp here, I mean my

630
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 5: heart was racing, I was scared, I didn't know where

631
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 5: I was going. Everything just happened so fast, and it's

632
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: like intimidating because everybody's telling it you this way, no, this.

633
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Way, that way, run this play.

634
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 5: You have to get up and seeing like in front

635
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 5: of the team for every single offensive meeting.

636
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: So I mean I was spinning, and now this just.

637
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: Feels like my like regular life, you know what I'm like,

638
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: Just like I'm showing up for my fourth camp and

639
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 5: right I'm ready to go, and I'm excited for it,

640
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: and it just feels like it's what I do now.

641
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: And you came in during the COVID season exactly, talk

642
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: about a major curveball on top of everything else that

643
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: you were dealing.

644
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: With, exactly. So we were the peak. So we were

645
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 5: the peak COVID class of twenty twenty.

646
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: So there you go.

647
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 3: For Alec Pearce, you know, you went through that experience

648
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: as a rookie. He probably went through it last year.

649
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: For him, what have you seen out of him? As

650
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: you know now, things maybe aren't spinning, they aren't going

651
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: as fast, You're maybe not scared to get up and

652
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: sing in front of your teammates, you know, just for

653
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: him and going into this second year.

654
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 5: Camp, I'd say I'd seen his confidence improve the most

655
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: because he was always confident, but like there's a different

656
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 5: confidence that you you have when you get in the

657
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 5: building and like you know everybody's name and everybody knows you,

658
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: and you just feel more more like comfortable, You feel

659
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 5: more like at home. So just seeing that transition, I

660
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 5: think that that's gonna help his play because sometimes when

661
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: you're not comfortable, like it's hard to play well. The

662
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 5: more comfortable you are with the offense, with with like

663
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 5: your teammates and your staff, I think the better that

664
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: you can play.

665
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: How do you kind of impart some of those lessons?

666
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: Then on Josh Down's rookie coming in here.

667
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I just show him love.

668
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 5: Like I'm not that guy who's gonna come in and

669
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: like hey somebody or talk down on them because they

670
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: mess up, because that's not how I wanted to be

671
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 5: treated like when I was in that position. So I'm

672
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 5: just there to build those young guys up and when

673
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 5: they make a mistake, you know, like I'm gonna correct them,

674
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 5: but not in a demeaning way, you know what I'm saying,

675
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: And then just protect them from like other situations that

676
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 5: that like could create that negative that negative reaction from

677
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 5: like an outside person, and and just kind of coach

678
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: them through the ups and downs and and that and

679
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 5: that you don't want to read everything they say about

680
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: you and you don't want to believe everything good, they say.

681
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: You don't want to believe everything bad, they say, so

682
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 5: to just stay consistent.

683
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: It's Michael Pittman Junior with us, There's no doubt about that.

684
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: I think this is our first opportunity, at least us anyways,

685
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: our first chance to talk to you about Anthony Richardson

686
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: and Gardner Minshew and the new quarterbacks coming into camp

687
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: this year. Well, what what are your your feelings and

688
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: impressions of those guys working with them for the first

689
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: time in the months of April and May, and and

690
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: how how much of a head start do you have

691
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: going into this camp because of your work with those

692
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: two guys.

693
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so I actually didn't get a chance to

694
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 5: work with him during OTAs because I sure I wasn't

695
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 5: out there, but just for a.

696
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: Good for a good reason, yeah the way, Yeah, you're

697
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: your second child was born.

698
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 5: Yes, So for our dead period is when I really

699
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: got to work with them, and and just seeing both

700
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 5: of them work, well, really all of them work, because

701
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: Sam too.

702
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: So they're all just so dedicated.

703
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: I mean their fears, I mean competition, I mean they're

704
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 5: out there and everybody is still in good spirits, but

705
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 5: they're like competing out there, you know what I'm saying,

706
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 5: Like one throws a deep ball, the next one is

707
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: trying to throw a better deep ball. So and that's

708
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: kind of what you want to see, Like you want

709
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: to see that head to head competition. But everybody's still

710
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 5: still like keep it light, right, you know, because we're

711
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: all still teammates. So I'm excited for all of them really,

712
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 5: and I think it's going to be an open competition

713
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: and and we'll see what happens. So like I don't

714
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 5: know it's going to happen, Like I'm not the kas

715
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 5: ain't told me nothing, so you know, like I just

716
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 5: work here, right, So I'm excited to see what happens

717
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 5: throughout camp.

718
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: But for you as a wide receiver, to you talk

719
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: about that competition of like these guys are going head

720
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: to head, but it's like it's it's friendly your teammates.

721
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: You're trying to make everyone better. What confidence does that

722
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: give you that whatever the coaches decide for week one,

723
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the best quarterback because they competed and

724
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: really grew throughout camp through that competition.

725
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think even after that, I think that

726
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 5: they're going to keep pushing it just because one guy's

727
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 5: name the start. I mean, we've seen it last year, right,

728
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I mean things definitely change, and

729
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: they change it any position. So they're just going to

730
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 5: keep pushing each other throughout the whole season, and I

731
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 5: think that's going to make everybody better.

732
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: And you played with six different quarterbacks though this is

733
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: going to be seven regardless of who it is week one,

734
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: either that's whether that's Minshew or Richardson. How difficult has

735
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: that been for you in your career to you want

736
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: to produce and you want to do everything that you

737
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: can to help the team, but you also have to

738
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: have stability at that position. How how challenging has that

739
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: part been for you?

740
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean the NFL is constant changing,

741
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 5: so you just got to roll with whatever.

742
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: And it does nobody any good.

743
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 5: Point fingers and be like, hey, I didn't do this

744
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: because of that, So I mean, really like it's on me.

745
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 5: So whatever I can do is solely from from what

746
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 5: I can bring, like to this team, whether it's Chris

747
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 5: Ballard out there throwing passes or it's or it's Patrick Mahomes.

748
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 5: And I just used his name because he's the consensus

749
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 5: number one quarterback. Sure, So so like it really doesn't

750
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: doesn't matter to me. And also, the Colts haven't just

751
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 5: brought in a bunch of guys. I mean we brought

752
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 5: in a bunch of very quality elite players from Philip

753
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: to Carson to Matt. I mean all those guys were

754
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 5: in the MVP conversation and then for Philip and Matt,

755
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 5: I mean we're talking Hall of Fame, hall of Fame

756
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 5: guys in everything. Yeah, so and then and then so

757
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 5: so really they haven't just been bringing in anybody. And

758
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 5: then like we've had a couple of young guys who

759
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 5: are very talented, you know, Sam, you had Nick come

760
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: in here who came in and won a Super Bowl.

761
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 5: So I mean, like it's not like we're just throwing

762
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: anybody in there, right, you know, like we got like

763
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 5: quality guys for.

764
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: You here at camp. Something that's always stood out to

765
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 3: me watching you out here, it's just how like physical

766
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 3: you are, especially when the pads get on. But you're

767
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: you're now you're a leader on this team. You know,

768
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: you're talking about organizing these guys. How much do you

769
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: think that physical mindset that you have can kind of

770
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: bring other guys along to like match that physicality.

771
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that just comes with setting the tone. I'm a

772
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: guy that if I let somebody get away with something

773
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 5: on me, like, they're gonna go do it to Alex

774
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 5: Or they're gonna go do it to Ashton and Josh.

775
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 5: So so even if it seems small, I'm gonna do

776
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 5: something back, like just because I think that's how it goes,

777
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 5: because I am seen as that vet And if they

778
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 5: get or and and if they think that they could

779
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 5: do it to me, then they're definitely gonna do it

780
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 5: to my other wide out. So and and that's kind

781
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 5: of my way of like protecting them is not letting

782
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 5: anything slide, whether it's smaller, whether it's big, like I'm

783
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 5: gonna react.

784
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

785
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 5: So so and every year, like we have talks about it,

786
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 5: like Pitt, like we need you to be smart, and

787
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: like I'm like, I'm gonna be smart, but I'm not

788
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 5: gonna let anything slide, like nothing slide.

789
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: Who's having those talks with you?

790
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 5: Well, it used to be coach, right, So I haven't

791
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 5: had that talk with anybody yet. But yeah, but I

792
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 5: only think that's because Shane hasn't seen it yet well.

793
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's seen it on tape, and in fact,

794
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: i'm sure from afar he's respecting it. And it comes

795
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: from a good place. It comes from a place of

796
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: competitiveness and deep love and care for your teammates and

797
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: passion for football. Final couple of things with you, The

798
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: core parts of this offense are coming back, and then

799
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 2: you've got some key new pieces within this offense as well.

800
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: Last year obviously did not go the way anybody envisioned

801
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: it going. How much of a chip on your shoulder

802
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: collectively does the offense have to right the ship knowing

803
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: you guys are obviously capable of much more than the

804
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: output last year.

805
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean everybody is just writing us off that

806
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 5: we're gonna be a bottom five team or like whatever.

807
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 5: I mean, that's kind of like what we want, you know,

808
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like you want teams to

809
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: be like oh, like it's just the Colts, you know

810
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, and then like we come right through

811
00:36:59,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 5: and punch them in the mouth.

812
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: You know.

813
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 5: So just having that like underdog role, I feel like

814
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: something or that that's something that we could really embrace

815
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 5: and kind of take on like that role kind of

816
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 5: like how Philly did it? You know what I'm saying,

817
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 5: Like nobody really really thought Philly was Philly until they

818
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 5: went on this this like ten zero run and people

819
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 5: are still talking about hey, like like Philly is not

820
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 5: that good, Like Philly's not that good. And then they

821
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 5: keep on going. They go to the super Bowl and

822
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 5: then and then like they unfortunately didn't win, but I mean,

823
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: you're in the super Bowl, like that's what we're all

824
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 5: like trying to do. And then Shane comes from Philly, right,

825
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 5: so so maybe maybe he's bringing that same underdog mentality

826
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 5: that they had.

827
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 3: And for you guys, the returning guys from last year,

828
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: I know you talked about it a little bit in

829
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 3: the spring, but how much motivation are you still drawing

830
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: from the way that season went?

831
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

832
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 5: I mean I just think about the feelings from last season,

833
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 5: like after it was done, and just just like knowing that,

834
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 5: like I don't ever want to feel like that again.

835
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 5: I mean, that was that was by far the lowest

836
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 5: I've ever been playing football. So like just knowing that

837
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 5: you got to do everything in your power to make

838
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 5: sure nothing like that happens again. As long as you

839
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: can say that you did everything. Then I think that

840
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 5: I can live with it. But but going back to

841
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 5: last year, like as a team, I don't think.

842
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: We like, I don't think we did that.

843
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: Here's to a better twenty twenty three, my friend and

844
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: as JJ said to close out, congratulations are in order.

845
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: Big summer for you and your family and your wife,

846
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: like you hype it up if you don't mind you're

847
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 2: a father of two now.

848
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: Thank you.

849
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 5: It's it is definitely more difficult, but it's not like

850
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 5: it's not what everybody said it was going to be.

851
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 5: I don't know if my two kids are more quiet

852
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 5: like than other kids.

853
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: But oh well that's good or appreciate that.

854
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: Maybe my wife like just as like a great job,

855
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 3: but she does a great job.

856
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, so so she makes it easy on.

857
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: I feel pretty bad about myself right now because my

858
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: kids are they're loud.

859
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 5: They're loud, brother, Yeah no, I mean they definitely can

860
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 5: get like that, but I'm sure, but like I think,

861
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: my wife, I like just does a great job of

862
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 5: managing them and then I do what I can't.

863
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, well we know who the real MVP.

864
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: Is, right, We definitely know who all pro within the

865
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: household that's Michael Pittman Junior. Congrats on the family news

866
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: and best of luck here during camp.

867
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: And we'll talk to you soon. Thank you, guys.

868
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: That's Michael Pittman Junior going into year number four. Always

869
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 2: a great conversation, just a good personality, just a really

870
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 2: good dude, easy guy to talk to, easy guy to

871
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: root for. As we heard case he talked to the

872
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: media and then sitting here and talking with us moments ago.

873
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 2: He is the leader within that wide receiver room. In

874
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: the past, he's looked up two older guys, you know,

875
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: t Y Hilton. These are the guys that are going

876
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: to organize the off season training between the mini camp

877
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 2: and training camp. These are the guys that are gonna

878
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: get guys to go down to Miami and work out.

879
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 2: He's like, that fell on me and I wasn't used

880
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: to that, And I think that's a big step for

881
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 2: him mindset wise, going into this camp knowing he's got

882
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: to be the guy on the field, but off the field,

883
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 2: he has to live up to expectations of the younger

884
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 2: guys half for him as they look up to him.

885
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is crazy.

886
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm glad you brought that up because if

887
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 4: you think about it, it seems wild that he is

888
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 4: in year four because it seems like, I mean he's

889
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,959
Speaker 4: I mean, clearly he's still so young. I mean he's

890
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 4: I'm to that point now where the guys that come

891
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 4: and go, I mean, they're so young they come in here.

892
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: But I mean he is that guy that he has

893
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 4: taken the strides, the necessary tooling from that wide receiver group,

894
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: whether it was t Y Hilton, and now he still

895
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 4: kind of has that guy as his receiver coach in

896
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 4: Reggie Wayne, who has been in this building and he

897
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: was a guy who was organizing that kind of stuff

898
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 4: back in his day that he learned from Marv.

899
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know that Marvin and Reggie Tree

900
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: still lives on.

901
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 4: We saw it that torch was held so highly when

902
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: t Y was here, and I'm seeing that same, you know,

903
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 4: kind of fire out of Michael Pittman Junior, for sure.

904
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Appreciate his time earlier.

905
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: Today, We're gonna have camp conversations with players after every

00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: and one oh seven five the fan Casey, here we go, brother,

934
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: it's tomorrow, it starts. I know your eyeballs are going

935
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: to be all over the place in about thirty seconds.

936
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 2: Where do your eyeballs go first? When the Colts break

937
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: stretching and they're done doing individual drills that first eleven

938
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 2: on eleven period tomorrow, where are you gonna be honed

939
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: in at?

940
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 4: I mean, let's be honest, it's got to be at

941
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 4: that quarterback group. You just gotta see them because I mean,

942
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 4: you know, whether it's Gardner taking those snaps or if

943
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 4: it's Anthony, that's where your eyes are gonna be. I

944
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: think that's where the entire you know, everybody that's sitting

945
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 4: over the stand, that's where they're gonna be. There are

946
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 4: a lot of really intriguing camp battles though that I'm

947
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 4: going to be watching throughout. I love that we have

948
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: a whole month up here because I can deviate my

949
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 4: time where I want to balance it. But definitely I

950
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: think tomorrow it's gonna start with that quarterback group, and

951
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 4: then maybe towards the end of the week maybe I'll

952
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 4: venture into the defense and all that, but definitely quarterbacks tomorrow.

953
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 2: Indeed, that's all for us today, Casey Valier, JJ Stang
