1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts now. Here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, welcome into the Colts Daily

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Update on a Wednesday. Good to be with you. I'm

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor here on ninety three five and one oh

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: seven five the Fan and the Colts hit the practice

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: field earlier today for the first time this week. They're

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: getting ready for Week eight of the NFL regular season.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders are up next on the docket for

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: the Colts Sunday, and it's a four twenty five start

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium as the Colts play in the

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: late afternoon window for the first time this season. A

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: lot to cover tonight in a short amount of time,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: A lot to get into Paris. Campbell, by the way,

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: is set to join us coming up on the show tonight.

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: We'll hear from him on his career day against the

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Titans last Sunday and the fact that he's having a

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: career year so far and obviously a new quarterback. And

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: that's where we begin with more dialogue from the Colts

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: themselves on their change up at QB. Sam Ellinger will

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: make his first NFL start on Sunday. You all know

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: that by now, as the Colts are elevating him over

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, who has a Grade two shoulder separation and

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: his right throwing shoulder. But the Colts did clarify earlier

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: this week that that move was going to be made

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: regardless of Ryan's health status, and Frank Reich also announced

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: this week that Ellinger is going to be the starting

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: quarterback for the remainder of the season. That's the plan

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: barring injury. So we all know about how poorly the

30
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Colts offense has fared this season, lasting turnovers, lasting interceptions,

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: over twenty points just one time this season, tied for

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: the most sacks allowed. The Colts are three three and

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: one and it's obviously going to be a tall order

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: to win the AFC South for the first time in

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: eight years. Swept by Tennessee, they hold the tiebreaker over

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the Colts, and to credit Matt Ryan today talk with

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: reporters like a total pro and talked about how his

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: initial thoughts what his initial thoughts were. His initial feelings

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: were about being removed as the Colts starter after seven

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: and games, I mean individually and personally disappointed, Um you know,

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: as as a player, as a competitor, you want to

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: be out there, you want to want to go and so, um,

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: it's part of the deal in this league. You gotta

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: produce and you got to go out there and play.

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: And you know, frustrated that we weren't able to do

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: that in the first seven games, but um, you know

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: he moved forward. You know, life in in this league

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: is is week to week and the production has to

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: be there. So obviously disappointed personally, but um, here for

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: the team again, that's Matt Ryan, and the Colts have

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: already declared that Ellinger will remain the starting quarterback whenever

52
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Ryan returns to full health from his shoulder injury. And again,

53
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: Matt talked today about it being tough to realize that

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: the Colts are essentially moving on from him at least

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: this year after seven games for the remainder of the season. Yeah,

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: so you know that part is different. Um, you know,

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: but I also learned in this league it's it's tough

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: to assume anything, you know, and in the minute you

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: start to make assumptions about how things are going to

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: shake out, you just never know. And so for me,

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, number one, it's about getting healthy and getting

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: myself into a position where you know, I feel good,

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: and then staying ready. That's Matt Ryan. And again it

64
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: was talked about earlier this week, but the offense is

65
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: failures so far this season, they don't all fall on

66
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the plate of Matt Ryan. It's that old adage that

67
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback takes more credit and receives more blame than

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: he deserves. That's definitely the case here right. The running

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: game hasn't generated much production, the offensive line hasn't protected

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: like they have in years past, and there's just been

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: moments where the receivers could have made more plays throughout

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: the course of games. And Matt Ryan knows the Colts

73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: offense has a lot more talent and has a lot

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: more potential than what they displayed through seven games so

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: far this season. You know, I thought coming into it,

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: I thought I thought we had enough, yeah for sure,

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And you know, you just don't know how. You don't

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: know how things are gonna shake out. Nobody has at all.

79
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously it hasn't been the level of

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: production we all would have wanted. I would have liked

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: to have played a lot better too, So you know,

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: we're still you know, seven games into it and there's

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: a long way to go. But you know, I appreciate

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody you know taking taken ownership and I've

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: tried to do you know that myself as well. Meanwhile,

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: on the other side of the coin, now it's all

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: about Sam Ellinger. The second year quarterback out of Texas,

88
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: was drafted in the sixth round a couple of years ago,

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: and he's no stranger to starting. He started forty three

90
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: career games over a four year run at Texas, where

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: he has the fourth most wins in program history for

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: the long Horns, and he talked today about his excitement

93
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: to help the Colts offense hopefully find a spark. Yeah,

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Um, you know, I think, as I've told

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: you guys, you know, I'm always preparing to be the starter,

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: and regardless of when that opportunity was going to come,

97
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: I was going to be ready and do what I

98
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: could to be prepared. And um, that's alleviated a lot

99
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: of the stress. I mean, I can't imagine if I

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: weren't preparing the way that I was, and it's like, hey,

101
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you're up. And that's the thing about this business. So

102
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm staying on top of it. Obviously, there's a lot

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: of excitement for the opportunity and just gonna, you know,

104
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: take it one day at a time. At Sam Ellinger

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: at his biggest strength as a quarterback, the mobility, and

106
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: that should help given the poor protection the Colts have

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: gotten so far this year, and the arm strength has

108
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: also gotten much better from last year. As Sam spent

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: much of the offseason with renowned quarterbacks coach and throwing

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: expert Tom House, and Ellinger is he's definitely a dual threat,

111
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: and that's where the league is heading. More and more

112
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: teams are intrigued by the mobility of these quarterbacks. In college,

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Ellinger became just one of three players in Division One

114
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: history to throw for eleven thousand career yards and run

115
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: for fifteen hundred yards. And he talked today about how

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: he's approaching the game mentally coming up on Sunday, play

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: the position, take care of the ball, you know, but

118
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: obviously play my game. I might think that there's an

119
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: element to where the leagu's transitioning to more mobile, mobile

120
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: quarterback end. I think that I'm able to offer that

121
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: and so just being smart with the football um taking completions,

122
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: getting the ball in playmaker's hands. We got a lot

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: of really good players and even in the run game,

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, give the ball to JT nahem Dion, like,

125
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: let those guys work. You know, Paris is playing great,

126
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Pits playing great, Alex playing great. You know, get the

127
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: ball in their hands and let them be the stars. Again,

128
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: that's Sam Ellinger. And there's been some outside noise this

129
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: week on why the Colts made the move at quarterback

130
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: when they did. They're three three and one summer saying

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: they're tanking or they're they're punning towards next season. I

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: think internally they know something needs to change on offense

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: in order to get back on track. And Frank Wright

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: today talked about the optics of moving on from Matt Ryan,

135
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game,

136
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: who they traded four back in March to move on

137
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: to Sam Ellinger, who's never thrown a pass in the

138
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: NFL to this point. Fair question, you know, fair question.

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, we're all is going

140
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: to do what we think is the best interest of

141
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: the team. You know, felt like for the reasons, you know,

142
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: we just felt like offensively we were struggling. We said,

143
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: why are we struggling? What are the problems? The problems

144
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: are We're turning the ball over too much. It's not

145
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: on one person and we've already you know, I'm not

146
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: going to keep hashing through that's not on that. But

147
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: he is a quarterback. So getting sacked too much, turning

148
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: it over too much, and not scoring enough points and

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: that's on all of us. But um, you know, so

150
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the decisions that are made are made around are made

151
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: around that venue, you know that. Thinking as Frank Reich

152
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: on the offensive part of this move, what does this

153
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: move tell the rest of the locker room? How is

154
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the locker room and the players inside

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: of it reacting to this? And Frank Wright commented on

156
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: that today with reporters, this is about we talk about

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: our three. We talk about our three t's right, trust, toughness,

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: and team all right, this is a trust factor, right, Hey,

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: we call a play. I call a play, right. I

160
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: trust the players to go do their job. At the

161
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, I think the players look to myself,

162
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Chris and mister Arsay trust us to do our job,

163
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: and that's our job. You know, they don't make those decisions.

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Those are the decisions that we make, and they're always

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: made for the best interests of the team, and they're

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: hard decisions. They're hard decisions. You know, it's not easy.

167
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: And like I said the other day, with the respect

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: that we have for Matt and you know, the shoulder issue,

169
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, talking to him today, you know, I don't know,

170
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: he probably would have found a way to play. But

171
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not insignificant. That's Frank Rank. And

172
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely been an eventful couple of days for the

173
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Colts following that loss to the Titans and the move

174
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Wouldn't we come back? We'll hear from Paris Campbell,

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: one of the bright spots for the team the last

176
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: two weeks. He has touchdowns and back to back games,

177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get his thoughts on his season so far

178
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: and how the change at quarterback impacts him. That's coming

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: up next on the Colt's Daily Update. Stay with us

180

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: show tonight. He joined myself and Jeffrey Gorman in studio

187
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: earlier today. Paris coming off the best two games stretch

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: of his career seventeen catches for one hundred and twenty

189
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: seven yards and two touchdowns in the last two games,

190
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: and pulled in a personal best ten grabs against the

191
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Titans last weekend. And Paris begins talking about the confidence

192
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: that he's playing with right now. Obviously, number one is

193
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: health that's just been allowing me to be out there

194
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: for my teammates and be able to make plays. But

195
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: the number one thing for me is my confidence. Confidences

196
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: through the roof right now and being able to, you know,

197
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: put together a string of games has just boosted it

198
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: even more. But I think, God, man, that I'm healthy

199
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: and I'm out there and available. Let's get to it

200
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: right now. We've got a new situation here in Indianapolis.

201
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: A man, you just spoke, Matt Ryan no longer leading

202
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: this offense. Sam Ellinger comes in, a second year man

203
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: out of Texas. UH the team now we're talking about

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: how's this going to affect the offense? And I know

205
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: it's early in the week, but what's what's the attitude

206
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: back there in the locker room. I mean we're excited. Um,

207
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: you know obviously, uh, you know things with Matt you know,

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: they are where they are, and you know everyone feels

209
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: a certain way about that. But um, you know, we

210
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta move forward and we gotta be excited because,

211
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: um there's new opportunity. Sure, Um you know Sam. Sam's

212
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, he's a great person. Um, we like

213
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table as an offense. We know,

214
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Um what it is that I gotta stop you what

215
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: is that? Tell me? Tell me what you like about

216
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: this cat? Because he doesn't get a lot of first

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: second team ups in the last few weeks. I mean,

218
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: I think we've seen it in the preseason and obviously

219
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: you know you can say, you know, everyone's not on

220
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: the field of season, but um, just him being able

221
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: to extend play, Yeah, we've seen that. You're right, and

222
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, get out the podcast. Arm strengths improved as well. Absolutely, Um,

223
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, he he's he's worked his butt off, like

224
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: you can see it each and every day. Even when

225
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't the guy, you know, he just continued to work. Um,

226
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's gonna pay of all for him.

227
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: Paris with Sam. How can you help him during this transition? Yeah, man,

228
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: just just being a guy. You know, that's obviously showing

229
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: up on the field for him, but it goes further

230
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: than that off the field, you know, Uh, talking with him,

231
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: making sure we're always on the same page. Um, you know,

232
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: if if he sees something, just making sure that, like

233
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: I said, we're on the same page. But um, I

234
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: just want to be like a vessel for him. Um,

235
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: someone he can lean on, you know, because it's not

236
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna be easy. We all know it's not gonna be easy,

237
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and mistakes are gonna be made, and it's gonna be

238
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: bad plays, and um, he just can't he can't get

239
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: too high, he can't get too low. He's gonna have

240
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: to stay the course, believe in trust the guys around

241
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: him because we believe and trusting him. Um. And that

242
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: goes for the coaches as well. We just gotta be

243
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: there for him and let him know that, you know,

244
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: we believe in me. That's that's Paris Campbell. But on

245
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, I mean, it's a business.

246
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: And even for a guy like Matt Ryan, who we've

247
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: talked about his top ten all time and everything, it's

248
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: still bottom line. Do you feel for him because it's

249
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: it hasn't all been on Matt Ryan, I mean the

250
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: turnoff and all I mean the offense hasn't done enough

251
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: to this point. Do you feel for him that he

252
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: is sort of the guy that's being removed from this

253
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: operation when it's not all one hundred percent his fault. Look, man, Um,

254
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and Matt knows this because I've told him this before,

255
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: But Um, what he's done for me, Um, just throughout camp,

256
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason, in these first seven weeks, like that,

257
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: that dude has made my confidence go through the roof.

258
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: Is that straight up? And you know, I'm I'm forever

259
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: grateful for what he's done for me. Um. I know

260
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: he'll continue to be in my corner. He's told me that,

261
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: and I'm continuing to be in his corner as well.

262
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: Like what Matt Ryan has done for me is unspeakable,

263
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: man Like I really can't put words to it because

264
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: he from from day one, like when we first met

265
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: and we got out on the field that grand parking

266
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: with stimman like he believed in me. He trusted in me,

267
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know as a guy who has battled

268
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: so much, like you don't like other than your family,

269
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: outside of your family, like no one's coming up to

270
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: you like, oh yeah, you know, I believe me, Like

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: you don't get that a lot, um And you know,

272
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to get all the emotions or nothing,

273
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: but like it's like that that that meant a lot

274
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: of that meant a lot to me for him to

275
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: be fourteen year vet obviously future Hall of Famer, Like

276
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: for him to you know, say those things and do

277
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: what he did for me like that meant a lot.

278
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: And they carried me along and probably what will continue

279
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: to do for you this football team. Absolutely And and

280
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Like you know, people may may say, oh,

281
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: MAT's probably like he's just like out of it. He's

282
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: not with the team. You know, he's not that type

283
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: of guy like he's going back Sam, He's gonna make

284
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: sure he's doing everything he can. He's nobody can handle

285
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: this bad absolutely. I mean I said to him, I

286
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: talking to my wife about it, like I'm like I

287
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: don't even know how. I like, if I was in

288
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: a Susi Jan, how would I be able to walk

289
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: into the building. Yeah, but he's here. He's showing presidents,

290
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: he's talking to guys like, he's talking to Saim Like

291
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: he's just a wonderful guy man like. Yeah, I don't

292
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: want people to forget that. That's Paris Campbell, wide receiver

293
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts, having a career year, last one

294
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: for me, and to double back again at the quarterback position.

295
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to harp on this, but for you again,

296
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this in the past, but

297
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: this will be Sam Ellinger now is going to be

298
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: your sixth different quarterback that you've had since joining the Colts.

299
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: For you, how challenging is that? What is what is

300
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the process for you to get acclimated both mentally and physically,

301
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: because you know, each guy throws a different ball, they

302
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: have a different skill set. What is the process for

303
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: you to help the quarterback and to contribute on offense. Yeah, Well,

304
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: the situation we're in now, and I think, um, just

305
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the way that you know things have been going for
