00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Moli Cox and Michael Pittman Junior to the right side.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: They give us to Taylor cuts.

00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Off a block, bearing to us right.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: He's to the ten.

5
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 3: Heah at the five.

6
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Here's gonna score.

7
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 3: You know it?

8
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Touchdown? Mty Why Chonathan Taylor with an eighteen yard round

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: to Peter and they are chanting MVP here at Lucas

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium. You're the MVP chants for him.

11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 4: I did validat us validated.

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Under center Jones. On first down, they give it to

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Taylor left side. He's at the twenty twenty five, thirty

14
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: thirty five down a sideline forty fifty yard line, still

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: going Tyner rope with us online.

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 5: He got a chance, Chad touchdown.

17
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor takes it eighty yards to the house, tight

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: ropeing that left sideline.

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: No problem for the great running back going right now.

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: It's the longest rush this season for the coach and

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: for Taylor.

22
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: I close up to the April.

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: He's the best player of the Sea.

24
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: I think he's the best player in the league.

25
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: So I I said, oh.

26
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: You won't jump past to Jonathan Taylor cuts off a block,

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: he's at a ten, He's.

28
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 2: At the five, he's gonna score again.

29
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Touchdown Jonathan Taylor on a nineteen yard it won't pop

30
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: pass from Daniel Jones. Let's see how they rule that.

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: It's either gonna be a rush or a reception. Either way,

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown by Jonathan Taylor.

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Thirty seven to seven, and it's.

34
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: The fourth time this season Jonkin Taylor has three touchdowns

35
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: in the game. I know that they like to give

36
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: it to like quarterbacks, but he's playing at such a

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: level where they're gonna have to consider a non quarterback

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: this year. Another dominating day by the Colts running back.

39
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: Another dominating day by the Colts, and what an atmosphere

40
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: provided by the twelfth Man at Lucas Oil Stadium. The

41
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are now seven to one and they've won

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: four in a row. Hello, everybody, Welcome inside Colts Around

Speaker 1: the best ones throughout the course of the show. But

64
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: let's start off with the mile Stones for the Colts.

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: What an afternoon on Sundays. They pushed their record to

66
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: an NFL best seven to one, and the Colts now

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: hold a two and a half game lead over the

68
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South. The Colts sweeped the

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: Titans for the third straight year, and they combined to

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee this season seventy nine to thirty four, and

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: for the fourth time this season, the Colts scored at

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: least thirty eight points. Daniel Jones threw for two hundred

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards and a season high three touchdowns.

74
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: He hooked up with receiver Michael Pittman Junior in the

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: second quarter on a twenty one yard highlight real one

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: handed catch in'll play where a Titans cornerback was all

77
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: overrom flag for pass interference, but Pittman made the catch anyways.

78
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: He finished the day with eight catches for a team

79
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: high ninety five receiving yards, and he's tied his career

80
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: high in receiving touchdowns already this season with six. Elsewhere,

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: receiver Josh Downs found the end zone on a ten

82
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: yard catch in the third quarter, and Alec Pearson rookie

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Warren helped the cause with two catches

84
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: for sixty nine yards and four catches for fifty three yards, respectively.

85
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Jones finished with a season high one hundred and thirty

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: six passer rating, and he was turnover free for the

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: sixth time this season. The Colts defense sacked Titans quarterback

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: cam Ward four times, and cornerback Chris Lamons had a

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: late interception of the end zone to give the Colts

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: at least one takeaway now in all eight games this season.

91
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: But the biggest star on Sunday was Jonathan Taylor. He

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: rushed for one hundred and fifty three yards on just

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: twelve carries and found the end zone twice on the ground,

94
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: including an eighty yard run in the first play from

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: scrimmage by the Colts offense in the second half. That

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: was the longest rushing touchdown of Taylor's career and it

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: tied for the longest rushing score in Colts history. Taylor

98
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: also chipped in with two catches for twenty one yards

99
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: through the air and turned a little tap pass on

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: a jet sweep from Daniel Jones into a nineteen yard

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. So on Sunday, Taylor became a fifth player

102
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: since at least two thousand with three plus scrimmage touchdowns

103
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: in four games in a season, joining Ladanian, Tomlinson, Marshall

104
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 1: falk Sean Alexander, and Priest Holmes. Taylor also tied Lenny

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: Moore for the second most rushing touchdowns in franchise history.

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: He's now just one away from tying Edrin James for

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the most rushing touchdowns in Colts history. He had a

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: career best twelve point eight yards per carry on Sunday.

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: That's the second highest single rushing average in team history,

110
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: and to this point of the season, he's been absolutely breathtaking.

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: After each of his touchdowns on Sunday, you could hear

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: MVP chants coming from all corners of Lucas Oil Stadium

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: from the home crowd. And speaking of that home crowd,

114
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: they've been sensational all season long. The Colts are now

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: five to zero inside Lucas Oil Stadium this season, and

116
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: they have won their first five home games to start

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a season for the first time since two thousand and nine.

118
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: The Colts have won four in a row, and five

119
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: of their seven wins this season are by at least

120
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: fourteen points. The Colts lead the NFL in scoring nearly

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: thirty four points per game, and the Colts point differential

122
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: now sits at a whopping plus one fourteen that's the

123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: highest number by an NFL team through eight games since

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one Buffalo Bills. All right again, reminder

125
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: coming up on segment two, I'll be joined by Colts

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: analyst Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights. But right now he's

127
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: settled in. It's time to talk with Colts head coach

128
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen here in studio. We do this every Monday

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: night here on Colts Roundtable Live. Coach Man, congratulations on

130
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: another dominant performance. When you go back and you watch

131
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: the film again today, what are some things that really

132
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: pleased you from the performance against the Titans? Watching the

133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: film again on Monday morning.

134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: I think the Colt Murray football was probably I was

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: the most pleased with, you know, I think to start

136
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: that second half, you know, there's fourth and three in

137
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: our own territory. They decided to punt and we got

138
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: to stop there obviously, and then to score the adr

139
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 4: touchdown to start that third quarter offensively was huge. And

140
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: I think just the back and forth with our offense

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: and our defense playing that com Murni football and the

142
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: special teams doing what they did as well, I think

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: it was it was great.

144
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it was another four hundred yard game, another

145
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: turnover free game by the offense. And it seems like

146
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about these things every week in a great way.

147
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: But what are the biggest things you attribute to this

148
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: offense when it comes to execution? Is it veteran players,

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: is it scheme? Is it the way you practice? How

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: do you explain this this great level of mistake free

151
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: football so far this season?

152
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: I think it's all encompassing. I think it, you know

153
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: I always say this at the end games, but like

154
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: it takes everybody in that locker room to be at

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: their best every Sunday, and I think the execution part

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: of it, and everyone being on the same page communication

157
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: all three phases. You know, practice is a huge part

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: of it. You know, I always say, how we practice this,

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: how we make us. You know, our guys have been

160
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: doing a great job practicing together and getting prepared each

161
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: and every week to go play. And then those guys

162
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: are going out and executing, you know, in all three phases.

163
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Taylor has another epic performance over one hundred

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: and fifty yards, three more touchdowns. Have you seen him

165
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: run more patient this year? I mean, I know he's patient,

166
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: but he's also explosive at the same time. How how

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: have you seen him balance those two things to produce

168
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: the way that he is.

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: It's a good question. I think the patience is a

170
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 4: big part of it. I think, you know, the camaraderie

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 4: and just you know, being behind our offensive line, you know,

172
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 4: it's been intact for a while, and he knows how

173
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: to read those blocks from those guys, and those guys

174
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: are creating the holes. And then I think he's just

175
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: running so physical, you know, through the tackles, and then

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: when he's out in space on the second and third level,

177
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: just the ability to make you miss and and you

178
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: know you use the stiff arm and bounce off tackles

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: to create that extra yak and then when he is

180
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: free in space just to hit those home runs are awesome.

181
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, it just seems like it's inevitable right now,

182
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, that he's just he's either

183
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: going to wear you down or he's going to rip

184
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: off a sixty five yarder or an eighty yarder. Do

185
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: you feel the same way. I mean, do you get

186
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to a point in the game where you're like, hey,

187
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Taylor hasn't done this yet, what's going on there?

188
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're always counting on a couple from him,

189
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: for sure, just the way he's been rolling. And I

190
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: think you know, within the game, when you call a

191
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: certain play and you get a certain look from a

192
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: front standpoint, you kind of have a good feeling about

193
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: it because you know our guys are going to be

194
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: all over it, you know, setting the tone and blocking

195
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: it the right way, and then him seeing it how

196
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: he's been seeing it. It's been great.

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: That's Shane stiking with us. This is Colt's Round Table

198
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: live tonight. Let's go over to Michael Pittman Junior wracks

199
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: up eight catches for ninety five yards, didn't play most

200
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, and I know you went to

201
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: him and you said, hey, you want to go back

202
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: in and get the hundo, And he's like, Noah, I'm good.

203
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: That's the type of guy he is. But how much

204
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: do you appreciate his tough catches, his nastiness that he

205
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: brings to the running game, and just the overall leader

206
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: that he is not only to the offense, but the

207
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: entire locker room too.

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been tremendous. I think you know, he's been

209
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: one of the toughest players I've been around as a

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: coach in this league, and his toughness kind of bleeds

211
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: off to our locker room and the way he goes

212
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: about his business and the contested catches that he makes.

213
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he's making contested catches every day, all day.

214
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Every day.

215
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 4: He does it in practice and then it transitions to

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: the game and so for our guys to see that

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: and the way he sets the tone with that stuff,

218
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 4: and especially in the run game, he does a lot

219
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 4: of the dirty work for us too. He's really good

220
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: in the run game, blocking and setting up these big

221
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: home runs for JT. You know, So he does it

222
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: all for us.

223
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the defense. Four sacks. They

224
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: had the takeaway there late in the game, the interception

225
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: by Chris Lamons. How'd you feel about the defensive effort

226
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: because the starters against Tennessee are frontline guys. He only

227
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: gave up seven points in the game.

228
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: It was huge. I think anytime you can do that,

229
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, seven points from those guys and then fourteen total.

230
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: Any game you're giving up fourteen points, I mean, you

231
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 4: should win a lot of games. And I think our guys.

232
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: The biggest thing that set out to me is just

233
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 4: how they are flying around, you know what I mean,

234
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: Like you said, up front, the D line, the linebackers,

235
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: the DB's making plays, all being on the same page,

236
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 4: you know, getting some big time stops for us. There

237
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: was huge, all.

238
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: Right, last one for me seven and one. You continue

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to lead the AFC South, You continue to lead the

240
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: entire conference in the AFC. Maybe this is a silly question,

241
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: but what kinds of things do you tell the team

242
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season here to stay fresh,

243
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: stay fresh mentally and physically. Do you approach it differently

244
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: now at this point in the season, because it's a marathon,

245
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: not a sprint. This is the time of year where

246
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: guys do start to feel a little bit worn down,

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: whether you win or lose. Here in the early stages

248
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: of November, if you will, yeah.

249
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think you know, what we've

250
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: done is obviously off to a great start, and I

251
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: think that's great. And I think, you know, September, October good,

252
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: But I think November and December is where you really

253
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: got to buckle down, yeah, and stay on the details,

254
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: because we got some big games coming up, obviously a

255
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: big one in Pittsburgh, you know, this weekend, and so

256
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 4: we got to be locked in, ready to go, you know,

257
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: for this week and the rest of the season.

258
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit up the fans hashtag Colts round

259
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: Table on X for those fans submissions for head coach

260
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: Shane stich In every Monday. Here, let's go to Matt's question, coach,

261
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: how do you know when to dial up the big

262
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: shots to Alec Pierce? When do you feel those are

263
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: necessary as the play caller.

264
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: It's a great question, I think it really is. It's

265
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: a feel thing. Obviously, you're looking at your call sheet

266
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: and getting your calls ready for the next series and

267
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: kind of where you're out on the field and what's happened,

268
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: and you kind of feel the momentum.

269
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: Of the drive and then you say, let's kill him here.

270
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you say, all right, this is I

271
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: think this is the time to go after them.

272
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

273
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 4: And you know, he's been doing a great job, you know,

274
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: of getting past the defense, but also the you know,

275
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: the intermediate stuff too. I mean, he's he's making some

276
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: great plays on some other routes that he's been running

277
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: in the offensive lines, you know, given Daniel time to

278
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: you know, throw those all right.

279
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Here's another good question. I think this is coming from Jack.

280
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: It says, with Daniel Jones being so good at dealing

281
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: with pressure this season, why do you think so many

282
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: teams continue to blitz the Colts as often as they are.

283
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: It's probably just in their DNA, to be honest, I think,

284
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 4: you know, defenses have certain things they do and certain

285
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: things they believe in, and you know, if they're a

286
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: pressure team, they're going to press you. And obviously it's

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: our job as an offense to pick up the pressures

288
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: and you know, go deliver, you know, the passes to

289
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: our guys, and you know, he's been doing a great

290
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: job and our ow line's been doing a great job

291
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: protecting all.

292
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Right, another good one from Paul, says Jonathan Taylor after

293
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the game. Gave credit to the offensive line for paving

294
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: the way, and he also explained that Jones' ability to

295
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: keep defenses honest through the airs perhaps the scariest part

296
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: of our well balanced offense. How is the passing game

297
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: helping Jonathan Taylor become Jonathan Taylor?

298
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when you're balance offensively and you can

299
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: run it and throw it, obviously it puts a lot

300
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: of stress on the defense, and uh, you know, Daniel's

301
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: just been doing a phenomenal job of seeing it, reading

302
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: the coverages, knowing where to.

303
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 6: Go with the football.

304
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 4: Obviously we have play schemed up for specific guys and

305
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: here's the first read. But he does a great job

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: of communicating with those guys too, of saying like, hey,

307
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: if I get this look, you know, i'd be ready.

308
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go here with the ball. So on the

309
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: back side of this route, we got to be great

310
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: over here, and so on and so forth. And I

311
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: think that, you know, pace huge dividends, you know, for

312
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: us throughout the week and then obviously getting into Sundays

313
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: when we play.

314
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: All right, last one from Harry, should we tinker with

315
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: moving to Forest Buckner some two defensive end to free

316
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: him up with some one on one matchups and we

317
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: trust at a Tom Will at a Barra more at

318
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: defensive tackle.

319
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: Well that's a good question, Harry. You know, DeForest is

320
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: a hell of a player for us, and you know,

321
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: Lou's always trying to find ways to free him up,

322
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: and we got him freed up, you know this past

323
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 4: week on a one on one you know, on this center,

324
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: which was good. So yeah, always trying to be multiple

325
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: with him as much as we can.

326
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: All Right, those are all well and good, okay, but

327
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the real questions are, this is our last conversation here

328
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: on radio that you and I are going to have

329
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: before Halloween. All right, so I need the Shane Stiking

330
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: favorite Halloween costume growing up as a kid.

331
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: Man, that's a good one. Let me think about this

332
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: for a second.

333
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Like the twelve year old, Yeah, twelve year old.

334
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm going back to that right now. You know, one time,

335
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: I think I was, uh.

336
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: You're probably like Joe Montana or somebody, right, I was

337
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: a fanatic.

338
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: It was I was called the fanatic, and I was

339
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: like a big sports fan. And I think I had

340
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: all these I can remember, right, you know, I grew

341
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: up in soccerman now, so I think I had a

342
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: King's jersey on. I might have had like some forty

343
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: nine er football pants on, and then I can't remember.

344
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: I was just I had a whole bunch of different

345
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: things rolling, you know, going through the neighborhood trigger tree.

346
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: All right, very good, very good? All right, favorite Halloween

347
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: candy for Shane Stiking then and now I guess.

348
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: You know, I think I'm a big I like sour

349
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: patch kids. They're solid, sweet, you know, and sour at

350
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: the same time. Indeed, I'm pretty good my kids like

351
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: him too, So it works out good.

352
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

353
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

354
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: You can always dip into that bag on Friday night

355
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: and pick out what you want there. All right, Steelers

356
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: are next. They've lost back to back games, they're four

357
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: and three, but as you know, they've got an all

358
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: time great and Aaron Rodgers on offense, maybe the best

359
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: defensive player in the NFL in TJ. Watts. So what

360
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: do the Steelers look like here going into Week nine.

361
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: Well, it'll be a hell of a challenge for us obviously,

362
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 4: you know, going on the road in a hostile environment

363
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: against these guys, like you said, TJ. Watts, as good

364
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: as it gets on the edge and Aaron Rodgers one

365
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: of the best to ever do it at the quarterback position.

366
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: So every week, just with anything, right, we got to

367
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: be on our details, We got to be on our

368
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: p's and q's and make sure we're locked in and

369
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: ready to roll, you know, going into that environment.

370
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Hopefully the Colts can get a

371
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: win on the road and then the played ride home,

372
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: my man gets some sour Patch Kids on a victorious

373
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: flop back to Andy Dapple. We'll see if we can

374
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: work that out. I'm sure I get a cold Coors Light.

375
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,040

418
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: So it was a fun day for the boys.

419
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 5: And yeah, missed, missed the guys on the pregame show,

420
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 5: But the Colts took care of business. The Raiders took

421
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 5: care of business, and uh yeah, it'll be a fun

422
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 5: Sunday coming up for them, And obviously for the Colts man,

423
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,119

424
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: know they changed the name on that now, but that's

425
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 5: always a tough place to play, and even though we

426
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 5: didn't have great success there, that was one of my

427
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 5: favorite places to play because you just had such a

428
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 5: good vibe and feel and kind of that old school

429
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: stadium there. So it'll be a big challenge for the

430
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 5: Colts coming up because they're reeling a little bit, and

431
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 5: you know that the Steelers are gonna be hungry, all.

432
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: Right, So who is Mount Carmel having the championship game?

433
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Then next Sunday.

434
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 5: Saint Pius, so one o'clock man on Sunday, So it'll

435
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: be a showdown. And they're a really good team, and

436
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 5: uh we got a good ball club too, so it'll

437
00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: be a fun game.

438
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: And this is fifth and six, right, this is not

439
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Cadet football.

440
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty six.

441
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: So yeah, they alternate, Matt, you know, they go down

442
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: to your your alma mater, Ron Colley and Star kind

443
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: of alternate host in the games.

444
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: But you know, it's fun for the boys.

445
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: They got to play on a high school field and

446
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 5: play on the turf and it's a big deal. So

447
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 5: it'll be a lot of fun for our community.

448
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: We played Saint Luke in the city championship game. I'm

449
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: in eighth grade. It's a Cadet City championship game. Highest

450
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: level we played. I don't somebody from Saint Luke, Joe,

451
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: somebody's dad had a connection to the Colts or the

452
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: RCA Dome. But we had to play the city Championship

453
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: game two thousand at the RCA Dome. We lost by

454
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: three points. And to say that I still think about

455
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: that game as an understatement.

456
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, those kids remember it forever. And how

457
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: about that you played in the RCA Dome. You didn't

458
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: call any games there, but now you're calling on Lucas Oil,

459
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: so we're go full circle.

460
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: Baby, no doubt. That's Joe Wright's Rick vent Terry as

461
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: along as well and RV. I know you're very happy

462
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: about the offensive output again on Sunday Afternoon by the Colts.

463
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's it's just a treasure to watch.

464
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm almost dumbfounded every week now and now

465
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: now though, I'm getting greedy. I as you know, last

466
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: I didn't even want them to get that garbage touchdown

467
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: at the end. I'm getting greedy. I wanted forty to

468
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: nothink I don't but no, that offense, my god. And

469
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: you know I've been I've been in this business a

470
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: long time as a coach and as a broadcaster, and

471
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: I tell you what, I've never seen anything like this.

472
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

473
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: Is four consecutive games for the Colts where they have

474
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: scored at least thirty one points. Last time they did that,

475
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: you have to go back to two thousand and nine.

476
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: All right, we got a lot to get into tonight

477
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: coming up on segment three, Like I teased, we're gonna

478
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: get out the bag of Halloween candy that will need

479
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: coming up on Friday night, and we have a couple

480
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: of Colts topics that we're gonna bust out here and

481
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign the appropriate Halloween treats for the Colts categories.

482
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: And then coming up in segment four, we're taking your

483
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: social media questions on the mail bag hashtag Colts Round

484
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Table is the best way to reach us tonight on X.

485
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: But in this segment we always lead it off. We

486
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: let Rick and Joe comment on their initial reactions from

487
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: the game. It's called tail of the tape.

488
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: Cool baby raising hell today. Okay, that's a way to go.

489
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Follof bang bang player bang bang, keep.

490
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 6: The hammer down, keep talking to one another minute, clean

491
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 6: it up.

492
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: That's all.

493
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Get righty, get righty, yeah yeah. The Colts are now

494
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: seven and one. They're six to oh against the AFC.

495
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: They're five to oho at home. Sunday's win was their

496
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: fourth victory this season over twenty points. Jonathan Taylor looks

497
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: like a legitimate MVP candidate. Michael Pittman Junior had ninety

498
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: five yards. He's already tied his career high in receiving

499
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns with six, and then the defense Joe Wrights record

500
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: an interception there in the fourth quarter at Chris Lamon's takeaway.

501
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: That now means they are still the only team in

502
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: the NFL to this point to create a takeaway in

503
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: every game in twenty twenty five. So, Joe Wrights, the

504
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: floor is your man. Where do you want to start

505
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: on this bad boy tail? The tape your review of

506
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: the film from yesterday's thirty eight to fourteen win over

507
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: the Titans.

508
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, high level.

509
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 5: It was another dominating performance by the Colts. They did

510
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: what they needed to do. They won by twenty four points.

511
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 5: And you know those games they kind of scare you,

512
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 5: right because you're playing a Tennessee team you've already beat.

513
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Simmons is out, they got a bunch of guys

514
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 5: banged up, and everybody's telling you how you're gonna win

515
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 5: by twenty points and his coach knows any given Sunday.

516
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 5: They got real players on the other side, and you know,

517
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 5: we come out of the gates really strong, three straight

518
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: scoring drives, and then we punted twice in the middle

519
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: of this late in the second quarter. It was like,

520
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 5: what's going on? And you know that was attributed to

521
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 5: two sacks. Right, we had a protection issue where we

522
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 5: didn't kick out all the way on the first one,

523
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: and the second one, you know, Jones just beat Ryman

524
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: on a spin. But so going into halftime, it was

525
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 5: kind of a weird feeling for me watching it because

526
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 5: you're up seventeen to seven, but Tennessee gets the ball

527
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 5: and you're thinking, hey, we got to take care of

528
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 5: business here. And then I just want to highlight a

529
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 5: series that I thought was so indicative of how this

530
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 5: Colts team is playing all season. And we always talk

531
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: about complimentary football, but what does that really mean? That

532
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 5: means the offense, the defense, the special teams are all

533
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: in coordination and helping each other. And you know Tennessee,

534
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: you know they get inside our fifty, they got first

535
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: and ten going in. You know, they got a chance

536
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: to make it a one score game. You know, I'm

537
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 5: a little bit nervous there, you know, maybe kind of

538
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: watching it like some of the fans. And they had

539
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 5: that third and three and they ran the ball because

540
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 5: they're thinking, hey, we're gonna get either the first down

541
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 5: or one or two yards, right, and we're going to

542
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 5: go for it on fourth. But we stuff them actually

543
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 5: for a loss, which forces them to punt, and then

544
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: on the punt team. It's a small thing, but I

545
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 5: thought Gould did a great job of really faking like

546
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: he was going to catch the ball around the six

547
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 5: seven yard line. Because the ball bounced right there on

548
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: the goal line. Tennessee had a chance actually to pin

549
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 5: us on the one, but every you know, defender swarmed

550
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 5: to him and then the ball bounced in the ends.

551
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 5: There need a great job. And then it's first and

552
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 5: twenty and this Jonathan Taylor run. I mean, I bet

553
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 5: I watched it fifteen times today because one that this

554
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 5: scheming of the formation was beautiful. Right, you had a

555
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 5: balance set, so you had tight end and downs to

556
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 5: the left side. You bring downs over in the motion,

557
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: which again causes the linebackers to shift a little bit

558
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 5: left and their eyes are thinking that way.

559
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: And then what I love.

560
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: We pull Nelson around, he kicks out the corner. We

561
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: pull Bordolini around, he steals off the linebacker. But Jonathan Taylor,

562
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 5: it should have been about a fifteen yard run. He

563
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: wasn't touched on that run. And then all of a

564
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: sudden he kind of looks at the safety and he

565
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 5: freezes him just a little bit, and then his breakaway

566
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 5: speed down the sideline did not get touched.

567
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: I mean he got touched a little bit for eighty yards.

568
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 5: I mean, I just can't say enough because I'm What

569
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 5: I want to say in this whole comment is to me,

570
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 5: the game was still kind of in the balance, and

571
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 5: after those three plays a game is over. It's twenty

572
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 5: four to seven. The Colts go on to roll. It

573
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 5: reminded me, Matt of you know the Peyton Manning days,

574
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 5: when they's seven minutes to go and your quarterbacks in

575
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 5: a hat, your running backs in a hat, you're playing

576
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 5: the backups. And the Colts did what they need to do.

577
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 5: They took care of business against a team that they're

578
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 5: far superior to. But what I want to say is

579
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: it's not easy to do that week in and week out,

580
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 5: and I think fans need to appreciate that while the

581
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 5: Colts are rolling everybody, that's really hard to do. It's

582
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 5: really hard to win an NFL game, I don't care

583
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: who you're playing. And I just can't give them enough

584
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 5: credit for their business like approach to what they're doing.

585
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 5: They're very process oriented there. Each week go one to

586
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: zero what are you doing on Monday through Saturday to

587
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 5: get yourself ready for the game. And when you do that,

588
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 5: you continue to improve during the season as you're winning games.

589
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 5: And the coaches I think have done a great job

590
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 5: of keeping their attention and keeping them getting better, and

591
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: the leadership in the locker room to not say, hey,

592
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: we're six and one, we're seven and one. Every comment

593
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: you hear is it's a long season. We got to

594
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: keep getting better. I just love how process oriented they

595
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: are because if you continue to do that, you'll look

596
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 5: up at the end of the season you have twelve thirteen,

597
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 5: fourteen wins and you may be the number one team

598
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 5: in the AFC.

599
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: So just hats off.

600
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 5: The Colts did exactly what they need to do yesterday

601
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 5: and it was just another impressive performance to watch on film.

602
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Yes, my song of the week obviously is taking care

603
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 3: of business, because it's not easy in the NFL there

604
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 3: you go, hell know, we always we throw one, we

605
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: throw one in every week. So taking care of business absolutely,

606
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: but that that's easier said than done in the very

607
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 3: competitive NFL, and that that's exactly what the what the

608
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: guys did yesterday. Another just great high scoring explosive thirty

609
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: eight points dominating performance. And what's so impressive to me,

610
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 3: and I talked about it before the game all last week,

611
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: is the balance that we play with two fifty six

612
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: passing and one sixty two rushing JT. And you know,

613
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: I've watched, I've marveled at him since the day we've

614
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: had him. I've always thought he was the premiere back

615
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: in the league. But he's in another world. I don't

616
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: think there's any question about it. The offensive line is

617
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: given him the first level, and I can't say enough

618
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 3: about just Nelson, but I'm telling you the other kid

619
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 3: that is really balling at is Bordolini, and you give

620
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: him the first level, he'll take care of the rest

621
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: of it. And just when the Titans thought they had

622
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: enough of JT, we have three of the greatest catches

623
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: that we've seen in years, all in one day. I

624
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: mean all contested catches. I mean, Warren goes up early

625
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: and makes the great catch. Pittman's catch is one for

626
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 3: the ages and the end zone, and then Pierce's ability,

627
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: you know, which we've chronicled to go up fifty to

628
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: fifty for the third one. Again, it just makes it

629
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: a pleasure to watch. Jones just leads us all the way.

630
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: He leads this explosive offense. We could not be where

631
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: we're at, not even closed without him. The Titans did

632
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: hang around in that first half, they did hang around,

633
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: but the Colts just destroyed them with that dominating third quarter,

634
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: and that was good night, Titans. I thought our defense

635
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: had a solid day, you know. I think the two

636
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: things they did well, and the one thing is something

637
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: that we've maintained the season, and that's at least we've

638
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: held the points down. And then I thought yesterday the

639
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: biggest thing we did is we were able. And I'm

640
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: not counting the fourth quarter when our top guys were

641
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: in there. We held them the three out of eleven

642
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: on third and fourth down. I thought Buckner and Moore

643
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: were really outstanding. Again. I was really happy to see

644
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: I think Pratt I felt like watching the tape. I

645
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: felt like at the game, and then watching the tape

646
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 3: I kind of validated it. You know. I thought he

647
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: was much more comfortable with the unit. Even though he

648
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: knows the system, you're still playing with a whole different

649
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: group of guys. I thought that was better. And then

650
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: my boy Lamond, he just keeps making plays in the

651
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: red zone. I do think lou is doing about everything possible,

652
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: you know, with a patch up defense in the secondary,

653
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: a little bit patch depit defensive end this week, and

654
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: I think he's doing everything he can. And I think

655
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: one of the indicators of that is one of the

656
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: other things that we're doing well despite being twenty fourth

657
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: and total defense and twenty ninth in passing defense, is

658
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: that we're playing good in first half. So we're actually

659
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: number three in first halfs, which is telling you that

660
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: the original game plans are pretty dog gone sharp. But

661
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, the only thing that

662
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: alarms me, because we are going to get in a

663
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: shootout with somebody at some point in time, is we're

664
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: just not covering well at all. We're not covering well

665
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: in man demand. Our zone coverage is not good at all,

666
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: particularly in the second level. I mean, we were playing

667
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: the thirty first best passing team, a quarterback with a

668
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: QBR of thirty three, that's beyond thirty two, you know,

669
00:30:54,040 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 3: and he hits fifteen passes to three guys Ayamanor and Okonkwo,

670
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: and he hits fifteen balls to those three guys for

671
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: thirteen plus yards, So you know, and I think the

672
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: amazing thing to me is despite a million pressures and

673
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: he brought pressures, he bluffed him, he came with him.

674
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: Is we still had only two first wave sacks in

675
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: all those So you know, I think those are the

676
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: things that really really have to get done. They have

677
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: to get fixed because, as I said, as we play

678
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: some quality teams in the in the second half of

679
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: the season, right there's gonna be some shootouts, special teams.

680
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: We talked about it. You had to corral DK. He

681
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: almost busted loose once, but basically we really kept him

682
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: at bay the most of the day. So when the

683
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: question was taking care of business, certainly the Colts did

684
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: that yesterday.

685
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: Taking care of business. Rick Van Terry's working over time.

686
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about right there in the meantime,

687
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: the Colts are seven and one. That is the tale

688
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: of the tape there with Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights

689
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: their reactions from watching the game film from Sundays thrashing

690
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,000

698

Speaker 1: and sour patch kids and skittles and butterfingers.

699
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: Where are they going?

700
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: Who gets them?

701
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: And why?

Speaker 1: Joe Wrights with until seven o'clock. On the last segment,

721
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: we looked at the film and discussed the big areas

722
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: that led to the win over the Titans. But now

723
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: we're going to turn our focus to Halloween. Halloween is

724
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: coming up on Friday, and gentlemen, it's time to hand

725
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: out some proper candy to the Colts after a seven

726
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: and one start.

727
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

728
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay out a subject and then Rick and Joe,

729
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: you guys, hand out the proper candy that fits our

730
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: topic here. So let's talk about Daniel Jones. All right,

731
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: he's dressed up, share what his costume is. But he's

732
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: knocking at your door. Daniel Jones. You look at his

733
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: resume so far. He rings the doorbell and he says, hey, Rick,

734
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: I've thrown over two hundred yards passing in every game.

735
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm over two thousand yards passing for the season, thirteen touchdowns,

736
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: four straight games, over one hundred passer rating. He's only

737
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: thrown three interceptions on the season. He's thrown two or

738
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: more touchdowns in four consecutive games. That is the longest

739
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: streak of his career. So what kind of candy is

740
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones deserving of?

741
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: Right?

742
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: Is it the I'm just gonna throw him out there?

743
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: Is it the ultra consistent snickers bar that always hits?

744
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: Is it the always delivering crunch bar? Is the underrated

745
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: kit Cat? Or is it something else entirely for Daniel Jones?

746
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: What are you giving him candy wise?

747
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: Well, you know, first of all, when the kids come

748
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: to the door, you know, Miss Sherry will normally give

749
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 3: him like two snicker bars, you know, two Heats bars,

750
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: something like that. You know, with Daniel, when he comes,

751
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a bad I get candy for him.

752
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna get a full bag. Because of his what

753
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: his value has been to this team. You know, I

754
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: refer to him as Otis. Otis is the elevator company,

755
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: And what he's done is he's elevated the entire franchise.

756
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. He's on leadership on and

757
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: off the field. Everything he does is aggressiveness of play,

758
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 3: his greatness of play right now again just elevated everyone

759
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 3: from the receivers to the running game, you know, to

760
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: the blocking, to the coaching staff. There's no doubt in

761
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 3: my mind. And you know, I look at it two ways,

762
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 3: and you know people can look at it a million ways.

763
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 3: I look at JT as the best player on this

764
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: team and maybe the best player in the NFL. But

765
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 3: I look at Danny as the MVP of this team

766
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 3: because you know, we've had everybody before and we were marginal,

767
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: we were in the middle, uh you know, sometimes worse

768
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: than that, and we have become a juggernaut with him.

769
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: So he gets a full bag of candy from me.

770
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: All right, a full loot there from Rick vent Terry

771
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: Joe writes, candy wise, what are you giving Daniel Jones

772
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: through eight games?

773
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: Here?

774
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 5: I'm bringing Daniel Jones the almond Joy And before you're

775
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 5: listening out.

776
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: There and like, what are you doing? Probably the most

777
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: underrated candy bar.

778
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 5: And you know you got coconut, Yeah, you got the

779
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 5: soft milk chocolate, you got the gooey coconut. Then you

780
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 5: got that almond in there. And I think you know,

781
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: when we signed Jones. People are like, oh Jones, you know,

782
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: he's washed up. He he got run out of New York.

783
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: You know.

784
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: The Colts they name him a starter. The cults are

785
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 5: gonna win five games, six games. It's kind of like

786
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 5: the Almond Joy. It's not that good. Then you try

787
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 5: it and you're like, oh man, we got something. I

788
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 5: love it and uh and I love it because you

789
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 5: know his persona, right, he's not a look at me.

790
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 5: Guy's not brashing the media. It's kind of like when

791
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 5: you first bite into that candy bar. It's your milk chocolate,

792
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 5: he sweet, gooey co and then you get that crunch

793
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 5: in there.

794
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 2: And that's the thing about Jones. He's a killer.

795
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 5: He's a killer in the way he prepares he's a killer,

796
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 5: and how he goes out and executes. Coach mentioned his leadership.

797
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 5: So the Almond Joy to me, Matt and the last thing,

798
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 5: what's the name of it. He's brought so much joy

799
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 5: to this franchis. I'm walking around the office this morning

800
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 5: and everybody's like, how about them Colts, how about them Colts?

801
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 5: And I'm like, we're good, We're really good. And I've

802
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 5: been able to say that every week. He has elevated

803
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 5: not only this team, but this city and this state,

804
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 5: and so a lot of Almond Joys, king size almondjoy No,

805
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 5: mister Jones, Oh that.

806
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: Was always the best. When you walk down the street

807
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: and you got that one house your neighbor that's giving

808
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: out king size candy, man. I mean, that's that's living

809
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 1: right there. That's a big time when you're eleven, twelve

810
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: years old, for sure. All right, Joe, stay right there, okay.

811
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's right behind Daniel Jones. Now Taylor's on your

812
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: front porch. And Taylor's got a sweet tooth.

813
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: Now, all right.

814
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: He leads the NFL and rushing with eight hundred and

815
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: fifty yards, leads the NFL and rushing touchdown with the

816
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: whopping twelve Already, He's got four games this season with

817
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: three total touchdowns to his name. He's up to fourteen

818
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: total touchdowns on the year, and then yesterday, career best

819
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: twelve point eight rushing average got a league high one

820
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: fifty six scrimmage yards on one hundred and sixty eight

821
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: total touches. The only other player to reach one thousand

822
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: yards thus far is San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey. He's got

823
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight more touches than Jonathan Taylor, but seven fewer

824
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: yards than j T in Indianapolis. Joe, Right, So what

825
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of candy does Taylor deserve at your place? Is

826
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: it the in my opinion, the MVP of candy, the

827
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Recey Cup. Is it the undefeated Hershey Bar? Or is

828
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: it the always reliable peanut butter m and M's or

829
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: something else entirely.

830
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 5: Now, I'm with you on this one, Matt. We're going

831
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: MVP and we're going Recey Cup. It's the best candy.

832
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 5: You put that baby in the fridge, you know, cool

833
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: it down a little bit. Yeah, that's what immediately will

834
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: we do on Halloween? You're speaking my language now, then

835
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 5: you pull him out. But I mean he's having an

836
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 5: MVP season. I mean he's got fourteen touchdowns. I mean,

837
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 5: Ladanian Tomlinson had thirty one touchdowns in two thousand and six,

838
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: and that's one of those out of that record might

839
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 5: never be broken. I mean that's in play. And you

840
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 5: look at Jonathan Taylor, Matt, he leads the NFL in

841
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 5: scoring with his fourteen tds and conversion. The next fourteen

842
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 5: guys on the list are all kickers, and then you

843
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 5: got Josh Jacobs. You know, I mean just think about that.

844
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 5: I mean just the season he's having, and I mean

845
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 5: he's in line to run the triple crown on this

846
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: thing in terms of rushing attempts, rushing yards and touchdowns.

847
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 5: And I talked about earlier in the show. I mean

848
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 5: that eighty yard run. I mean, he's making things look

849
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 5: so easy and the line's blocking great. The balance that

850
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 5: coach mentioned in terms of teams not being able to

851
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 5: key on it. But Jonathan Taylor, man, he's MVP candidate

852
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 5: for sure, and he deserves that recy cup.

853
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: The MVP of the.

854
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: Candy, Well, I'm going to bring another type of candy

855
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 3: in here right now. To me, the most expensive candy

856
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: and the most spectacular candy. When I was growing up

857
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: with a Fanny May pixies, Okay, they were the very

858
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 3: very best, the turtles, you know what I'm talking about.

859
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: And at this point in time, as I said, you know,

860
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: MVP can be you know, he can be interpreted a

861
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: lot of different ways, but in my book, he is

862
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: the very best. He's the very best football player in

863
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: the National Football League. You know, he always has been. Uh,

864
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 3: he's just playing with a better cast. Now with a

865
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 3: much better quarterback, he's not faced. As a matter of fact,

866
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: his production per play is a lot better right now

867
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 3: than it's ever been. That's what's really amazing. And you

868
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 3: know what, when you talk about him, the other thing

869
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 3: that's so amazing about him is not just his running ability,

870
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: and he you know he is. He is truly a

871
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 3: home run hitter, which he's hitting him all the time now.

872
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 3: Every time he touches the ball, it's a home run

873
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: waiting to happen.

874
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: But the other thing.

875
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 3: He's come so far as a receiver, and one thing

876
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: I'd like to point out is pass blocking. Unbelievable improvement.

877
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: He was actually a bit of a liability in the past.

878
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 3: Now he's the star in terms of the long throw

879
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: that was made to pierce, that was made possible by

880
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 3: giving Danny time to throw it. And that's exactly the

881
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 3: same blitz that hit us for a sack in the

882
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: in the first part of the game, and we turned

883
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: that protection and we brought him across and he blocked

884
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: that blitzer who came free the last time. So no

885
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 3: doubt about it. The very most expensive, the best candy

886
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 3: you can find, the best basting candy. That's who JT is.

887
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm hungry right now. Stay right there, Rick Venturi,

888
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: because Michael Pittman Junior. I don't know how your neighborhood

889
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: works up there in Cicero, but you always have like

890
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: the older kids that stay out just a little bit later.

891
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's like eight thirty nine o'clock a trick

892
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: or treating windows a little bit done. But you always

893
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: have those stragglers. That's Michael Pittman Junior. Okay, he's staying

894
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: out late. He wants to get all the loot he

895
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: once the leftovers. Pittman on Sunday past Dallas Clark for

896
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: the ninth most receiving yards in team history. Also became

897
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: the first Colts wide out to score at least one

898
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: touchdown in six of the first eight games of a

899
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: season since Reggie Wayne did that in two thousand and nine.

900
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: But he's got six touchdowns on the year. That ties

901
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: his top mark for him. Said back in two thousand

902
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one, I should say he's just one

903
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: of the toughest receivers in the game. Right He's willing

904
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: to do all the dirty work. He's totally bought in

905
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: and all the facets of the game. On offense one

906
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: handed catches, he's you know, blocking it really intensely on

907
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: the outside in the running game. So, Rick, what kind

908
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: of candy should Pittman get as somebody that's willing to

909
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: do it all and stay out late and get all

910
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: of the leftovers. Is it the combo pack of you know,

911
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: butterfingers and milk duds? Is it a handful of sour

912
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: patch kids and nerds? Or all the leftover Skittles and

913
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: airheads in the bowl? Where are you going with Michael

914
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: Pittman Junior?

915
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 3: All right, Michael Pittman is going to get one of

916
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: my favorite candies right now. Michael Pittman is gonna get

917
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: a payday Okay, He's gonna be get a payday ball.

918
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

919
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 3: And the reason for that is on payday when he

920
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 3: walks in for that check. He earns it. Every single day,

921
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 3: every single game, every single practice. He does everything you've

922
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 3: ever asked him to do. His quality of play is tough.

923
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: He does the dirty work. He's an incredible blocker on

924
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 3: those edge plays, and he very seldom ever gets noticed

925
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: for it. He's always been a high volume catcher, But

926
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 3: I think this year. Because of the explosiveness of the team,

927
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 3: Shane has been able to find those areas where he's

928
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 3: just best at, and that is coming over that middle.

929
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 3: He's fearless. You know, he made the juggle and catch play,

930
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 3: but he's open on those crossing patterns. He's good in

931
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: the flat with a little bit of catch and run.

932
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: And then they used him finally, which I've been calling

933
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 3: for for about five years, and that they got him

934
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 3: up on that twosty fifty ball. And I think he's

935
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 3: a huge threat in that orange in that red zone,

936
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 3: that high red in that orange zone. So you know,

937
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 3: I think he's you know, yesterday was just a terrific

938
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 3: game for him and noticed game by everyone and notice catch.

939
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: But in my opinion, he's getting a payday because nobody

940
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 3: earns it more than he does.

941
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: Well done. Yeah, it's covered in peanuts, Rick van Terry,

942
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: well done right there. I like that selection where you

943
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: going Joe Wrights with Michael Pittman Junior and his candy bars.

944
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 5: This candy bar debuted in the United States in nineteen

945
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 5: thirty two.

946
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: Matt.

947
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 5: It's been a model of consistency, just like Pittman's play,

948
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 5: and so I'm going three Musketeers, and I'm going Three

949
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 5: Musketeers for this reason. When I watch Pittman play, I

950
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 5: see three things. I see obviously catching the football, I see,

951
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 5: as coach mentioned, his blocking, I mean he is, He's

952
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 5: like a glorified tight end and there in terms of

953
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 5: all he adds to the run game. And the third

954
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 5: is his leadership. I mean, he's a guy that's incredibly tough.

955
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 5: People forget. You know, he played with a fracture backlash year,

956
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: and I just think his leadership in his presence being

957
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 5: one of the long standing veterans on this team, I

958
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 5: think he embodies the spirit of the Three Musketeers mantra, right,

959
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 5: all for one and one for all. And I think

960
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, Pittman could care less

961
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 5: about his stats. He just wants to win football games,

962
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 5: and he's doing so much to help this team win.

963
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: I love it. Right there, that's the Halloween Colts candy

964
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: on this episode of Colts Roundtable Live, and so many

965
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: great buy ins right there. We had the Payday, the

966
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers, we had the Turtles, we had recy cups.

967
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what, those guys they made out big

968
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: time here coming up on Friday night at your guys's

969
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: places with the Halloween candy passouts. Joe Wright, you mentioned

970
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: Recey Cups. Any other favorites you had growing up in

971
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: terms of the Halloween candy?

972
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 5: Probably the other one was my favorite was a watch

973
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 5: Him Call It. You know, the people that are my

974
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 5: age and older may remember that candy.

975
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: Very nineties candy bar.

976
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: It was.

977
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 5: It had the great name, you know, but it was solid,

978
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 5: you know when it had you know, the caramel in

979
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 5: there and the peanuts and the chocolate, but kit cat too.

980
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 5: Here's you got to put the kit Kats in the freezer.

981
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 5: The reci's in the fridge, and you'll thank me on

982
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 5: Saturday of the day after Halloween. Do those and enjoy

983
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 5: those throughout the week.

984
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: Now, Rick Venti and Joe writes on this one, I'm

985
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: a dad. I need some help. I need some advice. Okay,

986
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: So what what is your guys's policy on letting your

987
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: kids eat their way through the Halloween candy.

988
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 2: In the bag on Halloween night?

989
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: On Friday night?

990
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 5: Like?

991
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: What, what's what should the cutoff be?

992
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 3: Well, I've got to get my cut first of all,

993
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 3: you know, and it's grandchires now with me as long

994
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 3: as he gets me, as long as he gives me

995
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 3: my cut, he can do whatever you want.

996
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm with you that that that's how we teach

997
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 5: the rights kids about taxes. Say, okay, what what's your

998
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 5: tax rate? I'm gonna take all this candy you have

999
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 5: and then then we're good to go.

1000
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

1001
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 5: My view is, hey, eat as much as you want

1002
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 5: on Halloween, and eat so much you make yourself sick,

1003
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: and then you know, a few days later, I'll just

1004
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 5: take it all and yeah, get rid of it.

1005
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: But I'm glad I'm not the only one you got.

1006
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: This made me feel a lot better about myself with that.

1007
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: An good lesson there, good lesson for math and taxes

1008
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: with the kids, Matt. That's how you do, no doubt

1009
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: about it. Hey, we're talking candy, now we're talking pizza. Okay,

1010
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: when the Colts score, you score. Check out your favorite

1011
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,640

1013
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: telling you hot box might be might not be a

1014
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,759

1030
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: time now for the mailbag. Here, I'm Matt Taylor with

1031
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: Rick Venturi and Joe Writes with us a mailbag segment

1032
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: tonight and the submissions come on X with the hashtag

1033
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: Colts Round Table. Lots of submissions this evening. Let's go

1034
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: to Aaron. He's up first. Aaron is asking, I heard

1035
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: you guys during the game talking about how well we

1036
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: are playing. Joe writes, do you think we should be favored?

1037
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: In every game the rest of the season. And Aaron

1038
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: goes on to say, if we don't beat ourselves, who

1039
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: can stop us, given how well we are executing at

1040
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: the moment.

1041
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 5: Well, I think, Aaron, great question to the latter. I mean,

1042
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 5: I think only the Colts can stop themselves. And in

1043
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 5: terms of their offensive efficiency has just been incredible. You

1044
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 5: keep scoring thirty five points a game, You're tough to beat.

1045
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 5: But you know, I think as you sit here on

1046
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 5: the midway point of the season, you know, and we're

1047
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 5: seven and one, we've taken care of business, as coach

1048
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 5: saying earlier, but some harder tests are ahead, and you

1049
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 5: think about our next six games for the Colts. You know,

1050
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 5: before kind of the final three, you know you're going

1051
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 5: to three division winners, you're playing at Seattle, you're playing

1052
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 5: at Kansas City coming off the bye, which would be

1053
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 5: a great litmus test. But you know this week you're

1054
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 5: playing Pittsburgh. I know they've lost two in a row,

1055
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 5: but they're still leading their division. So I think increased

1056
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 5: competition is going. The Colts have done what they need

1057
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 5: to do. They're five and zero at home, they're two

1058
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 5: and one on the road. But we have some tougher

1059
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 5: challenges on the road, and that's going to be the

1060
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 5: next iteration for this team. Take their great football you're playing,

1061
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 5: and go do it in a really hostile environment. And

1062
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 5: we got one coming up this Sunday at one o'clock.

1063
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: All right, time for one more. This is going to Rick.

1064
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: Bruce is asking specifically for Rick, Rick, do you think

1065
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: we can continue to get by with our defense? I

1066
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: know you talked about this at the top. On the

1067
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 1: tail of the tape, he goes on to say Tennessee

1068
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: only scored fourteen, but seven of their ten drives reached

1069
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: Colts territory.

1070
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: No. I think that's a really good question. And I

1071
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 3: don't think we can be happy here. And we can

1072
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: be happy with some parts of the defense, but the

1073
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 3: pass coverage and rush is just not it's not good enough.

1074
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we're twenty ninth in the league

1075
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: in passing and that's leading to twenty fourth and total.

1076
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: And my concern is just like the question is, you know,

1077
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 3: are we going to be heartbroken in a shootout at

1078
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: some point if we don't fix it. I think there's

1079
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 3: ways to fix it. I think number one, we got

1080
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 3: to get healthy. You know, if we can get Ward back,

1081
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 3: and then I'd like to see Chris make a move

1082
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 3: for another corner because my thinking over the years on defense,

1083
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 3: if I can get a top corner with Ward to

1084
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 3: give me two basically shut down guys. I've always felt

1085
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: like I can manufacture rush in that regard, So that's

1086
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: just my preference, and I think it's easier to get

1087
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 3: a corner than it is an edge rusher. I think

1088
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 3: number two. I think I think first of all, we

1089
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 3: got to do something schematically. We're not playing much man

1090
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 3: because the corners are zones. Our area zones are horrendous

1091
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 3: right now, there's opening there. Guys are open everywhere, you know,

1092
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 3: particularly in that second level. I'd like to see a

1093
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: lot more match up underneath. If you're not going to

1094
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 3: play zone, if you're not gonna play man, then you

1095
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 3: have to match receivers. We're letting just guys free out

1096
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: there all over the place. And then I think the

1097
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: use of Buckner. I think Buckner is so good. I mean,

1098
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 3: he's the one guy that gets first wave sacks because

1099
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 3: he just flat beats people, and I would really like

1100
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: to see him a little bit more on the edge

1101
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: during the course of the game. But yeah, I am concerned.

1102
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: You know, I think we're gonna get better. I do

1103
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 3: believe if we make a move, if we can get

1104
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 3: corner better, I think we can be better here, particularly

1105
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: in the last month of the season.

1106
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see how that all plays out around

1107
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. That's the mailbag segment tonight with all

1108

Speaker 1: get to Rick and Joe's final instructions and they're parting

1118
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,000

Speaker 1: All right, we are back for the final time here

1130
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,279

Speaker 1: Matt Taylor with Rick Fintury and Joe Wrights. We're closing

1134
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 1: out the show with the closing arguments, wrapping things up

1135
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: and taking a look ahead to Week nine and the Steelers.

1136
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: The Colts are seven and one, they've won four in

1137
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: a row, and now they go on the road to

1138
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: take on a four and three Steelers team. They lost

1139
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: last night on Primetime thirty five to twenty five. So

1140
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: Joe Wright's on paper, it looks like a very winnable

1141
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: game for the Colts, but the Colts haven't won in

1142
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh as a franchise since two thousand and eight. Obviously

1143
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: you played in Pittsburgh a couple of times. It's a

1144
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: very difficult place to play, a great fan base, and

1145
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers are always a tough out at home. So

1146
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: what are your final thoughts on the win over the

1147
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: Titans and the challenge for the Colts playing at accur

1148
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: Sure Stadium coming up on Sunday.

1149
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, no question, I got some PTSD from some of

1150
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 5: those games and renegade by Sticks playing there and the

1151
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 5: fans going nuts waving the terrible towel. But it's a

1152
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 5: great atmosphere, a great environment. Do I think we're up

1153
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 5: ob ject actively better than Pittsburgh? Yes, they got some

1154
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 5: issues and watching that game the other night, but it's

1155
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 5: also a team with a Hall of Fame quarterback, and

1156
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 5: I think Matt more important the team that's lost to

1157
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 5: in a row, right, And I think a lot of

1158
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 5: times in the NFL, it's not who you play, it's

1159
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 5: win you play him. So they're gonna be desperate for

1160
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 5: a win. They're gonna unload everything they have on the

1161
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 5: Colt Sunday at one o'clock. So it's gonna be a

1162
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 5: tough game and Colts are gonna have to play their

1163
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 5: best game of the season to get out of there

1164
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 5: with a win.

1165
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I mean, you know

1166
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh has struggled the last two weeks, but you know

1167
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 3: there are some elements here that can be very, very difficult.

1168
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 3: First of all, Mike Tommlin, who I've known since he

1169
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 3: was an entry level coach. You know, he tends to

1170
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 3: he tends to get them ready when their back is

1171
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 3: to the wall, when it looks the bleakest and everybody's

1172
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 3: on his tail and on his team's tail, he tends

1173
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 3: to get him to rise up and play. Aaron still

1174
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 3: got it. I'm just amazed at how much better he's

1175
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 3: playing with Pittsburgh than he had and then he did

1176
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 3: with the Jets. You know, they've lost games in a row,

1177
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 3: but he's put up fifty five points in those two games. Now, uncharacteristically,

1178
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: their defense has fallen apart, particularly their pass defense, which

1179
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 3: I think is last in the league. They've been absolutely

1180
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 3: awful and they've given up sixty six points. I mean,

1181
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: they've lost two really high scoring games. So Rogers and

1182
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 3: Metcalf are a real problem there. On offense, we all

1183
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 3: know it's a tough venue. When I was with the Browns.

1184
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 3: You want to talk about a rivalry and tough venue,

1185
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 3: it's crazy. And again I think you're playing a team

1186
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 3: that is, you know, a traditional, high prideful team and

1187
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 3: they're going to be desperate. So you know this, this

1188
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 3: is going to be a challenge. This month is going

1189
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 3: to be a challenge.

1190
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Starts on Sunday against the four

1191
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: and three Pittsburgh Steelers, and that's all the time we've

1192
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: got tonight here on this edition of Colts Round Table Live,

1193
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Joe and Rick Man, you guys killed it as always,
