13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. Welcome in and we're back tonight talking Colts

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: football and also breaking down the season to this point

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: and after three games, the Colts unfortunately are winless and

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: after their worst start record wise since twenty eleven. The

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Colts fell to the Titans on Sunday twenty five, sixteen.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee improved a two and one and the defending AFC

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: South champions have that head to head win over the Colts.

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: The Colts are tied for third place in the AFC

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: South with the Jaguars through three games, and the cold

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: reality is only four teams since nineteen eighty who started

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the season oh and three went on to make the

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: playoffs the same year. As it relates to Sunday, the

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Colts had a hard time finishing off drives, making plays

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: in the red zone on both sides of the ball,

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: and they had some costly penalties as well. Carson Wentz

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: started the game despite playing on those two compromised ankles,

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: he played less than one hundred percent and gutted out

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: a courageous performance. He finished the day nineteen for thirty seven,

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: passing for one hundred and ninety four yards, but his

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: mobility and ability to buy time was not the same

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: as it was in the first two games of the season.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: He had completions of twenty seven and thirty six to

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal and Ninem Hines, respectively, But the Colts once

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: again had trouble and situational football. They were just three

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: for twelve on third down and one for three inside

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: the red zone, and that brings the season total to

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: just four for eleven inside the twenty yard line on

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: the season, and of the eleven trips to the red area,

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: six of them have been first in goal scenarios, and

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: of those six, the Colts have just one touchdown on

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: the season. The Colts defense came away with three takeaways,

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: including interceptions by Darius Leonard, Kenny Moore, and then also

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery by Rock You've Seen, but that wasn't enough,

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: as the Colts allowed three touchdown passes and Derrick Henry

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: ran for over one hundred yards for the fourth straight

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: game against the Colts. The Titans on offense, they were

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: six of twelve on third down and they scored three

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns on their five red zone trips. The Colts will

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: once again have to regroup and evaluate the injury situation

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: leaving the game early on Sunday, where left guard Quentin

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Nelson with an ankle, defensive end Quitty Pay with a hamstring,

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: cornerback Rock You've Seen with an ankle, and also starting

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: safety Carry Willis left with a groin. The Colts also

56
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: played Sunday without Braden Smith, who's missed the last two

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: games with a foot up. Next for the Colts are

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. They're one and two on the season,

59
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: and they took the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders to the

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: wire on Sunday before ultimately following by three points in

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: overtime thirty one twenty eight. We'll recap the game coming

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: up in more detail with former Colts coach and radio

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: color analyst Rick Venturrey and former Colts offensive lineman Joe Wrights.

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: And as always, we want to hear from you on

65
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the show. Your thoughts and your questions are encouraged tweet

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: them in tonight using hashtag Colts Roundtable. But in this

67
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: first segment, as always, we visit with the head coach

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: of the Colts, Frank Reich. It's always presented by Citizens

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: Energy Group, and he joins us on the line. Now, Coach,

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: just as we begin here, just the tone of the

71
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: team after yesterday's loss, and your message to the group

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: as you reset again this week, trying to clean up

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: the little things heading into week four. Yeah, I mean,

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: we got to own where we are right now, and

75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: that's where all progress starts. You got to own who

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: you are and where you're at at this point. So

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: we're an only three team that has a lot of

78
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: confidence in who we have on this building that we

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: have the right players and coaches to get this thing

80
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: turned around and get back in the right direction. And

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: that starts this week with the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, quarterback

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, he played with those ankle sprains, played very courageously.

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: What did you think of the way he played and

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: just the way that he fought through his pain in

85
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: that game down in Nashville. Yeah, well, first of all,

86
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean I have all the respect and admiration for

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: him in the world for you know, playing through it,

88
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: getting himself ready number one, and then gutting it out,

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, knowing you know that he was you know,

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent. So as far as how he played,

91
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: I thought he did a lot of good things, made

92
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: some big time plays. Hey, anytime we lose, I'm just

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: going to say it about myself and about every guy

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: in the team can be better. And Carson, you know,

95
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: there were plays, I'm sure you know, one or two

96
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: throws that he missed and a couple of plays that

97
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: we missed, but that could be said about all of us.

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I know you talked about this earlier, but how did

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: he come out of the game in terms of health?

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: I know he gutted it out, But how did he

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: hold up? And how long do you see his ankle

102
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: issues lingering into the season? Yeah, all things considered, Matt,

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: he came out pretty well. You know, I had a

104
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: couple you know, aggravations of it. One late that was

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: a little bit worse than the others, But all things consider,

106
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: not bad. We're definitely ahead of where we were last week.

107
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: And I think we're heading in the the right direction. All right.

108
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: What kind of shift in terms of play calling and

109
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: game planning on your end, and obviously Marcus Brady is

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: a part of that as well as the offensive coordinator.

111
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: But what kind of shifting mentality going into the game

112
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: and during the game did you have to have knowing

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: that his mobility wasn't going to be one hundred percent? Yeah,

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it was really just a focus

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: on stuff that we could try to get out quick.

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean as much as we could. We were still

117
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: going to try to take a couple shots and you know,

118
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: and so that was going to be incumbent on us.

119
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, we wanted to run the ball efficiently, which

120
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: we did. We just you know, got in a position

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: where we needed to call, you know, needed to have

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: more plays, and we couldn't convert on third down early

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: in the game and so we ended up, you know,

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: getting in a weird flow of the game. Um, so,

125
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: all things considered, you know, he did a good job

126
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: with the hand that was, you know that he was

127
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: dealt as far as trying to get the ball out quicker,

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: being limited mobility and you know, trying to find plays

129
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: to make. That's Frank Reich with us here on Colts

130
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: Roundtable Live. You know, one of the highlights of the

131
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. The Colts offense really played well in

132
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: the third quarter. You had that long drive to begin

133
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the half, consisting of seventeen plays. You ran fifteen more

134
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: plays than them in the period, but only outscoring them

135
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: three to nothing in the third quarter. I know, it

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: doesn't sit well with you considering how good your team

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: played to begin the second half. When you look back

138
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: on the tape in the third quarter, the challenge that

139
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: it was inside the red zone against Tennessee on Sunday, Oh,

140
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like you said, man was seventeam

141
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: play drive. I mean, there's not very many of those

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, you got to finish that

143
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. And so that's where we got to

144
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: be better, you know. I mean, that's that has been

145
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: a struggle for us in these first three games, you know,

146
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: down in the tight red zone in particular. Ye, And

147
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: you know there's no excuses for that. We got to

148
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: do a better job coaching and playing in fine ways

149
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: to get it in. All Right, it's Colt's head coach,

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Frank Reich here on Colts Roundtable Live. If you have

151
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: a question for him, we're gonna start doing it now.

152
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: You can tweet it in tonight and every Monday night

153
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: on Colts Roundtable Live. Use hashtag Colts round Table. Let's

154
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: go to Sam. He's up first, and I know you

155
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: talked about this with the media earlier today, but he's

156
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: asking how how did you balance WinCE's health and doing

157
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: what's best for him and the team versus trying to

158
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: win an important AFC South game on the road. Yeah.

159
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean I always rely on the docks. I mean,

160
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, hey, if you're clear to play, you're playing.

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, hey, are you do the docks clearer? You'd

162
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: play be as the player is the player mentally ready

163
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: to play? And you know we checked both of those boxes.

164
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, he's not one hundred percent, but the

165
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: docks cleared him and Caution wanted to play, and so

166
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: that's what you do, no questions ask all right, Chris

167
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: is up next. He says, we ran the ball effectively,

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: but went away from inside the red zone. Was that

169
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: just because of how many Titans were in the box

170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: close to the goal line? Um, No, that was That

171
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: was a couple other factors. One is, we had a

172
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: couple of throws down there that we absolutely loved that

173
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: thought gave us a chance and um, and so we

174
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: called those and we didn't you know, we didn't get

175
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: those in and so we still called one or two

176
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: runs down there. But yeah, that was essentially why Matt.

177
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, we knew that we had, um a couple

178
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: of passes schemed up that we really liked, and those

179
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: were going to be the first order business and especially

180
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: we were first involved to nine. So you know, I

181
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: always kind of think that's not one hundred percent. I mean,

182
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I'll run it at the you know, when you're first

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: and goal at a ten or nine. But um, that's

184
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: that's almost the toughest position you are on field, right,

185
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: I mean, when you when you still have uh, you know,

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: when you're at the nine or ten yard line. Yeah,

187
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, all right, Sean. Up next, this

188
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: is an update on t Y Hilton, which I know

189
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: you gave to the media earlier today, but it's far

190
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: as our audience is concerned. This is a nice tie in.

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: Sean is asking is t Y Hilton close to coming back?

192
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: I know he can come off of ir this week,

193
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: and how much would he help our offense if he

194
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: does come back. Yeah, we're not quite there yet with Ty,

195
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: but I think we're getting close. He's making really good progress,

196
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: all right, Rod. It seems like there's more of a

197
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: focus to get Naim Hins the ball more this year.

198
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: How much we're playing with two backs and the offense

199
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: at the same time help free him up in the

200
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: passing game. Yeah, I mean we do that a little bit.

201
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: We haven't done it as much this year, but it's

202
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: really not the same dynamic when you do that. That's

203
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: the short story, without getting into all the complicated extras

204
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: those Ye, that's usually not the answer, and that's why

205
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of teams who have somebody

206
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: like Naheim do that. So I think Naheim is a

207
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: special player he's a really good player. I think as

208
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: an offense, we've you know, we've done a good job

209
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: trying to get him the ball and knowing what the

210
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: best ways to get him the ball are. So we'll

211
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: continue to try to mix that up in little ways,

212
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: all right. Last one from the fans. It's from Mikey

213
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: from experience. When things are going well or not going well,

214
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: coaches try to change up routines, practice schedules, etc. Everything

215
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: gets looked at. Well, you try to make any adjustments

216
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: with your team this week, define a spark somewhere. Yeah,

217
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: for sure, everything gets looked at. And you know, we

218
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: do believe very much in our process. That doesn't mean

219
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: that we don't make little adaptations along the way. So, yes,

220
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: all those things get all those things get examined. No

221
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: stone gets unturned in the evaluation process week to week.

222
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: But right now we're pretty committed to you know, it's

223
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, we just got to keep refining what we're doing.

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Usually I can hear the echoes of Tony Dungee in

225
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: these walls. You know, when you go through a rough

226
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: stretch like this, it's more shrink your world. You know,

227
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: do what you do, do it better and that's the answer,

228
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: and so I think that's the philosophy. Indeed, all right, coach. Lastly,

229
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Miami is up next. They were ten and six last year,

230
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: very competitive so far this year. They fell to the

231
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Raiders in overtime on Sunday thirty one to twenty eight,

232
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: and they will be quarterback next week by Jacoby Brissette,

233
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: who you obviously know very well. What are your early

234
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: week thoughts on seeing Jacoby again and the Dolphins heading

235
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: into week four? Well, you know, obviously so much love

236
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: and respect for Kobe, and you know, I didn't get

237
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: to see the game, although I was following it on

238
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: my phone, you know, coming back after our game and

239
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: saw that he led him down at the end to

240
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: put it in you know, I mean to put it

241
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: into overtime and so on so forth. So not surprising

242
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: from Jacoby, you know, play him well. So looking forward

243
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: to you know, seeing him going up against him. He's

244
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: an excellent player. We know this is a very good team,

245
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: like you said, a good team last year, so it'll

246
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: be a good challenge. They're good on both sides of

247
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: the ball. I think they're very well coached and it'll

248
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: be a good test force on the road, no doubt

249
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: about all right, coach, Thanks as always for the time

250
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920

Speaker 1: So congratulations, we got it done. I'll tell you what.

285
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I actually enjoyed that and I

286
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: made it at that eleven o'clock goal that I had

287
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,359
Speaker 1: did that damn driveway at eleven o'clock. You know, absolutely,

288
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: I really really did enjoy it other than the other

289
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: than the game, I really enjoyed the periphery around it, really,

290
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: but I was, you know, I was disappointed obviously in

291
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: the game. It was it was a tough one. As

292
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: I said during the telecast to you Tennessee, was they

293
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: were dominating the box score, but they really weren't dominating

294
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: to score board. And you know, you were in it

295
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. But you know, all the specialized

296
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: situations they dominated, you know, the third down, the red zone,

297
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: which we're going to get into, they totally dominated. And

298
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: then they really dominated the fourth quarter. And you know,

299
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: you're not You're not gonna win if you can't do

300
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: those things. Yeah, after further review coming up, we'll dissect

301
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: a halful of aspects of the loss on Sunday, Colts

302
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: falling to the Titans. But Joe, we'll start with you

303
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: just your overall thoughts of the game and just your

304
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: major takeaways that have led to this point with the

305
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: Colts starting the season and three. All right, first quick thought,

306
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: if that's eight hours in a van down, who is driving?

307
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: And how fast were you going? Come on, has that

308
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: led foot Matt Taylor behind the wheel or what I was.

309
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: I drove seven of the eight hours roughly, and I

310
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: was averaging somewhere. I tried to cruise control around seventy five.

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: I got up to about eighty eighty three. Well, Matt, Matt,

312
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: you had to back it off a little bit in

313
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: certain areas. I got a lead. Fact. Actually, Joe, we

314
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: passed three sheriffs on the way down. Okay, but I

315
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: think I think they saw that that Pacifico was a

316
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: cult Pacifico and it was all in Indiana, and we

317
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: got by with it. There you go. Well, Matt, you're

318
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: for hire for a maybe a Disney World Spring Break

319
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: road trip. You can drive the Rights family down. There

320
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you go. But but you know, overall thoughts on the game,

321
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: I really felt like the Colts were getting their identity

322
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: there in the third quarter when they had that seventeen

323
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: play drive and they're running the ball and we're firing off,

324
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: and then we go three and out and we get

325
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: the roughing the punter, which I thought killed the momentum.

326
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: But even then we got the ball back and had

327
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: a couple of good runs, and I really felt like

328
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: it reminded me of that Kansas City Chiefs game where

329
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: we were limited a little bit in the passing game

330
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: because Wentz couldn't moved, but we were just going to

331
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: run it down their throat and then you know, unfortunately

332
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: we had a couple of incompletions punting the ball back.

333
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: They scored. But I felt like the Colts were close

334
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: to getting back to that identity. But as Rick said,

335
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: just too little, too late. In the situational football really

336
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: has just been a thorn in the cold side. I mean,

337
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: when you're plus three turnover that's a ninety percent plus

338
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: win percentage historically, So bottom line, third down, red zone

339
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: has to be better. And then I really thought the

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: lack of a pass rush really showed up. We had

341
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits for the game, one sack, and on

342
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: the sack I went and rewatched the tape. They just

343
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: didn't block Okarek, which, by the way, is that the

344
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: right pronunciation to TV copy They were they were messing

345
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,239
Speaker 1: with me there, Matt, So it's he has changed his pronunciation.

346
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a backstory to this. I

347
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: was going to get into this later in the week,

348
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: but since you brought it up, it's he's changed his

349
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: pronunciation for his last name to Okaraka, and he's honoring

350
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: his Nigerian descent. And it's just like any thing else,

351
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, it just gets americanized over time, and so

352
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: wants to go back to it honor those Nigerian roots.

353
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: And so now it's it's okarak And so that's what

354
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with from here on out, to honor

355
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Bobby o'karreki and quite frankly, get his last name pronounced

356
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: correctly the way he wanted to be. He'll be number

357
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: fifty eight to me till he started, yeah, exactly. But

358
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: bottom line, they did not block fifty eight on that play.

359
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: Henry was supposed to come back and he didn't go

360
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: and scan for him. So really the one sack that

361
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: we got was a gift from Tennessee. We have to

362
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: get a better pass rush because I thought initially some

363
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: of those, especially third down key conversions, we had him

364
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: covered up initially. But now three to four seconds pass,

365
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: it's hard for those cornerbacks to stick with the receivers

366
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: at long and Tannehill was able to stand back there

367
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: in the pocket way too easy. All right, it's Joe

368
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: right sign Matt Taylor, Rick Vin Terry is along as well,

374
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some of these specific areas

375
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: that led to the Colts losing in Tennessee. Let's go

376
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: under the hood after further review. It's time to go

377
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: under the hood after the review, after reviewing the play,

378
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: After reviewing the play, this is after further review a

379
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: part of Colts Round Table Live. After further review here

380
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: on Colts round Table Live. It's a close look back

381
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday's game and a few key areas. Let's talk about.

382
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: Situational football continues to be a problem for the Colts.

383
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: They were just three for twelve on third down, bringing

384
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: their total to just thirteen for thirty six on the season.

385
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: That's only thirty six percent. The Colts were just one

386
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: for three inside the red zone against the Titans. They're

387
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: now four for eleven on the season through three games.

388
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: And Rick maybe the most frustrating thing for Colts fans

389
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: and everybody involved is that the Colts have faced six

390
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: first and goal situation and the Colts only have one

391
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: touchdown in those scenarios. They settle for three field goals,

392
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: thrown a pick, and then turn it over on down.

393
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: So the lack of scoring inside the red zone through

394
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: three games, Rick, what's going on after further review? Yeah,

395
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: and there's no question about it, you know, and I

396
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: always you know, I always knew after all those years

397
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: of coaching, got you know, the red zone defines you.

398
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: It defines you offensively, and it defines you defensively. A

399
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: lot of things can happen between the twenties, but it's

400
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: how you play there. You know, at this point, we're

401
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: ranked twenty ninth on offense and we're ranked twentieth on defense.

402
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: I think that you know the problem, and you know,

403
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: we talk about it every week and we just don't

404
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: seem to be able to fix it. Is you know,

405
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: I really think their identity is everything. In other words,

406
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: guys have to have roles that they do over and

407
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: over and over again, both from a talent standpoint and

408
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: from a play calling standpoint. Now you have to mask them.

409
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: You're not going to run them the same way every week.

410
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: But the problem when you get packed in, and particularly

411
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: when you're in the low red from the ten end,

412
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: is that everybody's packed in there on the run and

413
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: they're also packed in there on the pass, and so

414
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: everything has to be precision. You have to execute. That's

415
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: why you can't have a million things you're gonna do, because,

416
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: as I said, they're packed for the run and the

417
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: windows are closed. So you've got to have your best

418
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: guys getting separation, which we get very very little. Pascal

419
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: from the number three spot on that Shaver route the

420
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: only guy that ever gets daylight. Then you have to

421
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: throw precisely with Carson, didn't you know. I thought that

422
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: he had Pittman coming over the middle, you know when

423
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: he missed that one, you know, And then you have

424
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: to have plays that you consistently can run now I thought.

425
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: And it's a diversion, but I think it could be

426
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: applied to the red zone. The one thing that we

427
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: fixed this week is we got back to short yardage

428
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: lineup multiple tight ends, and we bang three short yardage

429
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: situations third and one in the fourth and one, and

430
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: we looked like a real football team. And we're going

431
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: to have to do some of that in the red zone.

432
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: But in terms of the passing game, we have to

433
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: establish exactly what we're gonna do and it has to

434
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: be precise, and all eleven guys have to be precise there,

435
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: and we're not. We're not even close. We're you know,

436
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: but we don't have any identity. I think Joe alluded

437
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: to it as an offense period. I mean, I don't

438
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: know what we are. I mean, sixteen runs. We run

439
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: it better, but we run the ball sixteen times, we

440
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: throw thirty seven with a quarterback that has worse legs

441
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: than me in the game, so, you know, but it's

442
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: it's a lot about identity, but it's all execution down there.

443
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: I agree, coach, And I think when you look at

444
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: third down, the Colts are thirty six percent for the

445
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: year twenty two in the league. When you look at

446
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: red zone, we're four of eleven, twenty ninth in the league.

447
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: And that we could just stop the show right there.

448
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: But I did think, ye our running game was a

449
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: lot better last week's year, point coach. In short yardage

450
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: fourth and one boom six yards, fourth and one boom

451
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: six yards, we were more creative out in space, I

452
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: thought with doing some different things, you know, I'm thinking

453
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: about that the hyans, you know, end around there for

454
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: the touchdown, and I liked what we did there. But

455
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: what I was frustrated with is when it was first

456
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: in goal on the nine. On that seventeen play drive,

457
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: Taylor had hit two fourth and ones and we had

458
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: three straight incompletions in the red zone, and I feel like,

459
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: you got to find a way to get twenty eighth

460
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: the ball when he gets rolling and I know it's

461
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: a double ed short because Pittman was open, and if

462
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: Wentz was had brought that ball down about four inches,

463
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: that's a touchdown and your walk away. We're not talking

464
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: about it. But I felt like Taylor really got in

465
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: a rhythm in the second half for the first time

466
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: all year. But on the goal line he didn't get

467
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: a touch. And then after we got the ball back,

468
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, we have the roughing the punter, they go

469
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: all the way down, we still get the turnover and

470
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: Taylor rips off two runs in a row, and then

471
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: we had three straight passes again. So I think the playmakers,

472
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the lack of and the passing game has showed up

473
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: because I thought our two best playmakers yesterday were Hines

474
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: and Taylor. I think the lack of t y Hilton.

475
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: He's not the biggest body in the red zone. He

476
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: doesn't give you that huge target, but he's so precise

477
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: on his route running and commands attention. I think the

478
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: lack of him has really showed up, especially did yesterday

479
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So hopefully he's a guy we

480
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: can get back soon. Now. I thought we lacked calling

481
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: seal yesterday, you know, And it's kind of surprising to

482
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: me because going in, you knew that he was going

483
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: to be a mobile. You knew that they were gonna blitz,

484
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: they were gonna run twist games because they weren't going

485
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: to worry about him escaping, and we were finding the

486
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: running game. I totally agree to that. And the short

487
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: yardage package looked good. I mean, Taylor did average six

488
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: point four and so at the end of the day,

489
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, in a close game, really to end up

490
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: with thirty seven passes and sixteen runs just doesn't fit. Yeah,

491
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: that's Rick Venturi and Joe Rights. I'm Matt Taylor. Where

492
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: hey with you tonight until seven o'clock on Colt's Round

493
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Table Live. But taking a look at after further review,

494
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: moving on to segment two, if you will, in terms

495
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: of this particular part of the show, let's talk about

496
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. You guys brought him up there and momentarily

497
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: started the game despite dealing with those two spraining ankles.

498
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: The offense was limited due to his mobility. Obviously a

499
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: scrambling factor that was prevalent in the first two weeks

500
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: that just wasn't there. But his longest completions on the

501
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: day were a twenty seven yard gained to Pascal and

502
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: a thirty six yard gain to Hines with some run

503
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: after the catch in the fourth quarter. But outside of

504
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: that Joe he averaged just three point seven yards per attempt.

505
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: So the Colts in week number three, deciding that Carson

506
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: Wentz at whatever percentage of health wise that he was

507
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: seventy eighty throwing it out there just guesses on where

508
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: he was in terms of health. Colts deciding that he

509
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: still gave them the best chance to win a very

510
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: important game in the AFC South on the road at quarterback.

511
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: After further review, what do you make of the decision

512
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: and the way that he played on Sunday? Well, the

513
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: decision I think the Colts felt, and Carson felt they

514
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: gave him the best chance to win the ball game.

515
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: That's why you're putting him out there. And credit to

516
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: Carson because he addle and you could tell he was

517
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: not feeling well. But I got a lot of respect

518
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: for him in his toughness playing in that ball game.

519
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: But the negative of him being in there and not

520
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: being mobile, as you saw it as the game went on,

521
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee had no reason too, and they weren't disciplined in

522
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: the rush lanes so they could have everybody running up

523
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: the middle of the pocket. Coach mentioned they're running twist

524
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: games and a lot of different pressures. Those are hard

525
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman to pick up in a normal

526
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: Carson wentz, they bring four guys on the inside. He's

527
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: scooched around the outside and running for twenty like Tannehill

528
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: did to us. But because he was somewhat of a

529
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: sitting duck back there, they continued to get more undisciplined

530
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: in the rush lanes and that's harder as an offensive

531
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: line to block, and I felt like they really took

532
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: advantage of that. The other thing I felt was the

533
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: screen game. You know, a couple of those plays if

534
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: he was able to extend it a little bit more.

535
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: We had two huge screens set up. We had a

536
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: big one to Taylor that only got a few yards

537
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: in that middle screen where Simmons kind of ran into

538
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: him unexpectedly because again he got outside of his rush lane.

539
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: That was going to be a huge gainer on a

540
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: middle screen if you remember that play where we're going

541
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: to fake the wide receiver screen and set it up,

542
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: and unfortunately Simmons just ran into him. So I felt

543
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: like as the game went on, it got harder and

544
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: harder to block those guys because there was no threat

545
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: of Carson. The other thing that hurts your run game

546
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: because on those outside zones, you know, the boot threat

547
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: isn't there for Carson either run it or throw it

548
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: down the field. So definitely was a disadvantage for the Colts.

549
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: But go back to Carson, got a lot of respect

550
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: for him and the toughness he showed GrITT and that

551
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: one out because you could tell he was not even

552
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: close to a hundred percent. Yeah, Matt, I would have

553
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: started him, and I would have started him for two reasons, well,

554
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: I guess three reasons. One I agree with Joe, and

555
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: I know that they felt like he was the best.

556
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: He gave you the best chance to win. That's that's overwhelming,

557
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: number one. But there were two reasons I would have

558
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: also started him. I would have started him because I

559
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: think his posting up to start after that tough week

560
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: was a very psychological lift for the whole team, offense

561
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: and defense. And I think number three, it's kind of

562
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: a Willish Reed moment. It's one of those things that

563
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: you gained the respect of your teammates forever and ever

564
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: for that kind of grittiness. Trust me, that's never going

565
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: to be forgotten by that team, regardless of what the

566
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: outcome was. I would have probably been ready, though, and

567
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I would have thought about it ahead of time to

568
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: make the switch somewhere when I realized that. It took

569
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: me very little time to realize that it was going

570
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: to be one of those days. And Joej's chronicle that

571
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: we you know, right off the bat, they blitzed, they

572
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: ran right over Taylor on the first third down. Then

573
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: they started inside twist. They started three man trip, and

574
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. They did not care about rush lanes.

575
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: They just kept coming every time they got the third down,

576
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: So you know, I would have been ready and would

577
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: have probably made the substitution to number two in that case. Now,

578
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the coaching, when you're in it, you know,

579
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: we were always close enough maybe to not make it.

580
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: But I just foresaw with that kind of pressure that

581
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be a very good day. The

582
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: scary thing is that if you don't make a move,

583
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: it's such an indictment. Two on your two to number

584
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: two A and number two B. It's just such an indictment.

585
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: It's almost scary to me. A lot of chatters surrounding

586
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Jacob Easton and Brett Hunley, who has brought up off

587
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: the practice squad on Saturday to the active roster. All right,

588
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: that's after further review, a deep dive into some specific

589
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: areas from Sunday's game down in Tennessee. When we come back,

590

608
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: got a lot to get into. Let's go to Mac.

609
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: He says, I truly feel if we don't get the

610
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: roughing the punter call, we win the game. We had

611
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: the momentum and we're about to get the ball back

612
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: down by only one. They were tired in reeling at

613
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: that point. That was a bonehead mistake, So a pretty

614
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: hot take right there. Joe writes, do you agree with

615
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: the momentum that the Colts had and then gave back

616
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: to the Titans not only the momentum but the field

617
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: position as well. I agree with Mac. I felt, like

618
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier in the show, we had our

619
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: defensive identity starting to go on that first drive of

620
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: the second half, seventeen plays, eight and a half minutes,

621
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: fourth and one, boom six yards, another fourth and one boom,

622
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: six yards. We're rolling in off Wentz takes a little

623
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: bit of a score to Mustard. Off that pass to Pittman,

624
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: that's a touchdown, and the Colts take the lead. But regardless,

625
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: the defense comes back out. They're fired up. Three and out.

626
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: If you remember the punt, Hines had a nice return,

627
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get the ball around the thirty five

628
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: yard line with most importantly a Gas Tennessee defense, a

629
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: fired up offensive line, and a running back Taylor who

630
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: gets better as the game goes on. And I felt

631
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: like we were going to go down and get at

632
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: minimum three points, hopefully seven, and really take control of

633
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: the ball game. That's how I felt, And I was

634
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: getting fired up watching the game because I knew that

635
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: was going to happen. But Zaire Franklin roughing the punter. Now,

636
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: even though we got the ball back on the turnover

637
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: at the end of that drive, I feel like the

638
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: fact that Tennessee went seven plays seventy six yards grind

639
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: it up some clock took a lot of even longer

640
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: clock of guys sitting there and getting rests on the

641
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee defense. That was a difference. And then we get

642
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: the ball back on our own eighteen yard line instead

643
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: of the thirty five. And I think the rest that

644
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee's defense had, they were fired up and got new life.

645
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: So I told her, get football is a game of momentum,

646
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: and a team like the Colts right now that are

647
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: struggling in some key areas like red zone and third down,

648
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: we can't afford to have those game changing penalties. I

649
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: felt like that was one yesterday afternoon. Yeah, I agree

650
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: with Joe, and I just wanted to added one thing

651
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: because Matt, you've been with me long enough. I always

652
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: say there's three of the most critical spots in the game,

653
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: the opening, the closing, and the roundabout. And I name

654
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: it the roundabout. And you know, the interesting thing is

655
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: that we dominated ten minutes to round the roundabout. I mean,

656
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: we forget we go down and we kicked the field

657
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: goal before the half ends, which means we go in

658
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: on a positive note. As Joe said, we come out

659
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: on a very deliberate six plus minutes. You know. Now,

660
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: the unfortunate thing in both of those situations we only

661
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: get three but we're still controlling the game. Then we

662
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: get the huge three and outs. That's ten minutes at

663
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: the roundabout. That really is Colt football. And so I

664
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question that the air went out

665
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: of the balloon on that penalty, no doubt about that. Yeah,

666
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: the Colts did such a good job starting the second

667
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: half seventeen play drive, but got only three points out

668
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: of it, and then that penalty happened on after they

669
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: had that three and out. On defense, all right, up

670
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: next is Wes. He says, we did a good job

671
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: on Henry but Rick. Why can't we slow down simple

672
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: schemes inside the red zone on defense? Well, first of all,

673
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, our coverage scheme in the red zone, I

674
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: can't even explain it. And that was my specialty in

675
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: the league. You know, we play soft zones in the

676
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: red zone. I've never heard of such a thing, really,

677
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: And if I was the you know, if I was

678
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: the GM, I'd have somebody's ass on this at some point.

679
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we go down there and there's three passes

680
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: that are all that we do nothing on. They go

681
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers right off the bat on Kenny. He gets up,

682
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: typical cult press. We get up and he doesn't touch anybody.

683
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: No help inside Boom, here's Chester Rogers. Now we're not

684
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: talking about Raymond Barry. We're not talking about Jerry right,

685
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about Chester Rogers. Beats him unmolested to the

686
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: goal line. The second one, we play a form of

687
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: a cover two. Franklin runs up with the team. Nobody

688
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: takes the kid from Indiana Ukenu. Nobody takes him coming in.

689
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: He catches another unmolested smash route for a touchdown. And

690
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: then the last one. I'll tell you what. If I'd

691
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: have had a bucket, I'd have regurgitated. You got Okaiki

692
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: and you got Leonard on the ten yard line. They

693
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: got a speed trips to our right. They run the

694
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: back out of the backfield. They literally watch him catch

695
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: the ball and run in from the ten. You ought

696
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: to be right up in his grill. I don't care

697
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: what the coverage is. I mean this is malpractice. We

698
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: have given up nine touchdowns houses this year, eight of

699
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: which any technique in the world would have at least

700
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: made it a good play. My gripe is we don't

701
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: we don't make them execute, We give it up, and

702
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: that crap has got to stop. You know, have we

703
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: lost to good teams, Yes, we have. Seattle is one

704
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: and two, but we've lost two good teams. But you

705
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: know what, we're not playing good football either, and that

706
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. That's eight touchdowns out of nine that with

707
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: any technique at all, could have been prevented well and coach,

708
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and not going to add too

709
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: much more, but I felt like that pass there on

710
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: third and ten to McNichols broke our back because at

711
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: that point it's still it's fourteen to thirteen, and we

712
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: did a good job. You think they have first and

713
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: goal at the ten and now it's third and goal

714
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: at the ten, and I honestly thought Tennessee they were

715
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: happy to kind of get out of there with a

716
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: field goal, and we let them run that little out

717
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: route and walk in and with no resistance and then

718
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: the kicker was then they go for two, which I

719
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: thought was a smart call by Vrabel to put into

720
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: a two score game. What was interesting to me coach

721
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: and curious your take. I feel like ten fifteen years

722
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: ago that would have been an automatic just kick the

723
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: extra point and go up eight. But the influx of analytics, etc.

724
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: When do you go for two? You go for two

725
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: Earlier that was something that I feel like maybe wouldn't

726
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,959
Speaker 1: have happened. But I thought it was a good call,

727
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: in the right call because I put them up two scores. Yeah,

728
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: and it broke our back the eight points right there.

729
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: And like I said, and you're when I'm in a

730
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: red zone, I'm worried about those first two downs. When

731
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: I got you third and ten, I'm getting off you're

732
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: going to kick a field goal and to just sit back.

733
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: And I've seen that over and over. I mean, how

734
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: many red zone touchdowns have you seen where nobody catches

735
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: the guy till the goal line. I mean it's crazy.

736
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I mean, something's got to

737
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: happen there. It really does. Yeah, I think, and again

738
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: it bears out statistics, but I think you could sum

739
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: it up by other teams. Red zone looks easy when

740
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: they're down there inside the goal line. And ours looks

741
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: just really really hard, you know what, from a thirty

742
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: thousand foot view. That's just kind of how it feels,

743
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, so far through three games. All right, that's

744

00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,440

761
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: one oh seven five the fan. All right, let's go

762
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: to Tanner. Interesting thought here, we're oh and three, just

763
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: like the Jets and the Jags, some of the worst

764
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. I know we've played some good teams,

765
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: but it's hard to decipher if we're a good team

766
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: that's played better teams or if we belong with the

767
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: bottom feeders in the NFL. Joe food for thought, right there,

768
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, you know, Bill Parcels famously

769
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: said you are what your record are, and so I

770
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: mean a record is and the Colts are oh and three.

771
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: But do I think we're better than the Jets and Jaguars. Absolutely,

772
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I think we played three really good teams.

773
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: But bottom line, this is a zero sum league and

774
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: you got to win football games. And the Colts they

775
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: just got to go on a run. They gotta get hot,

776
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: they gotta figure things out. You play the Dolphins, it's

777
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna be Jacoby Brissette. You know, he's gonna be charged

778
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: up playing the Colts. But you got to figure out

779
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: a way to beat the Dolphins. And then I know,

780
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: you play at the Ravens and they're tough. But after that,

781
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean four of your next five after that are Houston, Tennessee,

782
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: the Jets, and Jacksonville at home. And if you can

783
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: figure there are some things out, momentum in this league

784
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: can get really, really quick. And I think the positive

785
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: thing is there were some guys in this locker room

786
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: that were on a team that started out one in five,

787
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: made a run to the playoffs, one a playoff game,

788
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: and so it's there. But it's got to turn around

789
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: quick because oh and three, historically almost no chance you

790
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. But again that number is going

791
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: to be skewed because it's a seventeen game season and

792
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: not sixteen. All right, let's go to Grayson Rick. We're

793
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: gonna give this one to you. I know you talk

794
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: about this during the game several times. It's a big

795
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: point of emphasis for you, But Grayson has the same

796
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: sort of frequency on this thought. Why does every team

797
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: we play bootleg against us with so much effectiveness because

798
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: we play with terrible technique and we play like a

799
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: pig with a blind pig running around And I know

800
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: our staff gets so much credit for running to the

801
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: ball and this low fissue and all that as if

802
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: nobody else runs to the ball. But the thing you

803
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: gotta remember, particularly on the edge, Okay, you have to

804
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: play with discipline. On the edge, you just can't run

805
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: no matter what happens and chase rainbows. You have to

806
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: have discipline. I used to tell those guys on the edge,

807
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: you are a controlled assassin. Yes you're an assassin, but

808
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: you're a controlled assassin. When that ball goes away from you,

809
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: starts away from you, you close the hole, but you

810
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: close it with square shoulders so that you can pivot

811
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: and what we call run the line on a Boolet

812
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 1: our guys just simply take off and run across field.

813
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Everybody knows it. Everybody. This is as bad as what

814
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: I just talked about the red zone, if not worse,

815
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: because this has been happening for three years as well.

816
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: And when you play a Russell Wilson, you play a Stafford,

817
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: and then you come back with Tannehill. This is their game.

818
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do you not watch tape? I swear to

819
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: God to you. Do you not watch tape? Other than

820
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: Henry running? What's the next US thing? It's Tannehill bootleg

821
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: and play action and to let that keep happening. We

822
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: had a singing in coaching, you're either coaching that or

823
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: you're letting it happen in either In either sense, it

824
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: is a disaster because really two things cost the defense.

825
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: That was Tannehill's movement. The twenty eight yard bootleg was

826
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: a killer, and the red zone. We talked about both

827
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: of them. Your your guys who sent in your your request,

828
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: they're absolutely right. That was an absolute killer and it's

829
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: been there from the beginning, and I can't fathom why

830
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: somebody's not accountable for that. I just can't well coach.

831
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: To your point, I think our defense did do some

832
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: good things. We got three turnovers and we stopped Henry. Overall,

833
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: I thought, not let them get going. The hard part

834
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: for me watching it's like, you know, the Tannehill boots

835
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be your first option. I think we did a

836
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: good enough job against Henry to stop him from winning,

837
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: but then unfortunately we let him out for three for

838
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: fifty eight. That's just one of those things you can't

839
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: happen against somebody who that's not their primary focus. When

840
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: you do a good job on Henry like we did,

841
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, gotta get it cleaned up, gotta

842
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: get it fixed. When we come back, we're gonna close

843
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: out the show and talk about how to fix things

844
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. Coming up this weekend next Sunday

845
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and week number four is the Colts head back to

846
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: the road. It's a number two out of three, three

847
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: straight on the road for the Colts against the Fish

864
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: a part of Colts Roundtable Live tonight, taking a look

865
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: at the AFC South standings through three games. The Titans

866
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: are two and one, the Texans one and two, and

867
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: the Colts and Jags tied for last place with records

868
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: of oh and three and up next for the Colts

869
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They're one and two after falling to the

870
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: Raiders on Sunday and overtime thirty one to twenty eight.

871
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: They overcame a two touchdown deficit to win. Did the Raiders.

872
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: Miami has now lost two in a row after that

873
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: opening season win and Week number one against New England

874
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: and former Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett will likely get to

875
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: start against the Colts with starter two. A tongue of

876
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: viola on ir So, Joe, you've seen it all as

877
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: a player. You've been through the highs, you've been through

878
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: the lows. Do you have a great perspective on things?

879
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: How do you as a player stay up this week?

880
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: How do you help the lock make sure oh and

881
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: three doesn't turn into O and four and then really

882
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: start to ruin the season. You do your job to

883
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: the best of your ability. You don't try to do

884
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: too much, and you don't try to be superman. But again,

885
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: you've got to be critical yourself. You've got to get

886
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: better from watching the tape, and you have to realize

887
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: that it's gonna take all fifty three guys, coach, his staff,

888
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: everybody in there, and I think going down to Miami,

889
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: it's a very winnable game. Obviously, Jacoby Brissette is gonna

890
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: want to play well, but sometimes when you're playing your

891
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: old team, that can hurt you, and that if Jacoby

892
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: wants to do too well, he might try to do

893
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: too much and maybe he throws us a couple picks

894
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: or gives the ball away. But bottom line, you're oh

895
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: and three and you're reeling. Nothing solves and nothing heals

896
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: like winning a football game, and before you can worry

897
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: about winning two or three or four, you just gotta

898
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: win that first game. And it's got to be everything

899
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: there the kitchen sink. No matter what you gotta do,

900
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: you gotta leave Miami at four oh five Sunday afternoon

901
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: with a win. You just have too. If the Colts

902
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: want to keep really their hopes, in their dreams, what

903
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: they thought this season could be, got to find a

904
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: way to get it done. But that happens by doing

905
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: your job the very best you can, not trying to

906
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: do too much. Yea, all right, Rick, give us the

907
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: skinny on the Dolphins some the early week tape prep

908
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: in terms of getting ready for Jacoby Brissette led offense

909
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: in Miami. Yeah, they were an overachieving team in twenty

910
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: They've played two very competitive games in which they won

911
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: a close one and they lost the overtime game Sunday

912
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: at the Buzzer an amazing five quarters. They were drilled

913
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: by the Buffalo Bills, the rampaging Bills right now, thirty

914
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: five to zip. They're very much in transition on offense.

915
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 1: With Tua, they were an NCAA offense. Every play, almost

916
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: every play was an RPO or a zone read until

917
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: third down. It was almost amazing. It was like watching

918
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: a Saturday game. They've immediately made a transition. There's a

919
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: little bit of that, but in the last six quarters

920
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: and then when they had a week to get Jacoby ready,

921
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: they really evolved into more of an NFL team with

922
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: Gaskin at the running back. Now they have good receivers.

923
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: Their problem is offensive line is not worth a damn.

924
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: This is if you can't get pressure here, then we're

925
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: not going to get pressure all year. But they've got

926
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: some guys now. Parker Waddled the rookies, their leading receiver.

927
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: They got Fuller back after two weeks who can go deep.

928
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: Gauzeki is one of the best hybrid tight ends in

929
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: the league. So I mean there's weapons they're on offense

930
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: and no. Jacoby is what he is to get great,

931
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: intangible guys, tough, all that, but he's a backup guy.

932
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: That's what he is, and you know, we got to

933
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. We'll get into when we do

934
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: the Wednesday podcast. We'll get into strength and weaknesses and

935
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: how to play him defensively. Very unconventional they base out

936
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: of the three four Flores is a Belichick disciples so

937
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: he plays a lot of people a lot of different ratios.

938
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: He's going to play you differently than maybe he played

939
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: last week. You got to be alert for that, and

940
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: you have to approach him in that sense. Their defensive

941
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: numbers are much better than their offensive numbers. But they're

942
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: not really greatly talented. I think the whole is greater

943
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: than the parts. I'm with Joe, you gotta stay in

944
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: your process right now. But you've got to come out

945
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: of Miami with a win. If we can't beat Miami, Okay,

946
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: then we're in big trouble, no doubt about it. All right,

947
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: that's all the time we have tonight on this installment
