1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to the scariest part of

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: the NFL schedule, here we are. This is the week

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: that always frightens us, no matter what the records are,

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: no matter if it's early in the season, if it's

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: late in the season. Colts at the Jacksonville Jaguars coming

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: up this weekend. Week number five. Nine straight road losses

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: to the Colts or to the Jaguars for the Colts,

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: eight of them in Jacksonville. One of them we have

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: to throw the asterisks in there was on London in

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Bill. I mean, I've been there for seven

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: of them. We were grounded for two years during COVID, right,

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: so I wasn't there in twenty or twenty one. But

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of these losses, and a lot

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: of people like to ask me, you know, what are

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: the common denominators why can't the Colts get it done?

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: And I don't have an answer. I have no idea.

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Because you've had some bad Jacksonville teams. You've had some

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: teams for the Colts that have had what should be

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot of urgency going into these games games, namely

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: the into the twenty twenty one season and the Colts.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: All they had to do was win that game against

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: a two win Jacksonville team and they would have punched

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: their ticket to the playoffs and didn't get it done. Bill,

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: it is absolutely mystifying why the Jaguars have had the

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Colts number in this series.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: There's no answer for it. I mean, it just happens.

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: You go down there and you know, you expect to

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: play well, you expect to win a football game. Jacksonville

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: comes ready to play. Yeah, and for whatever reason, the

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: Colts haven't been ready to play. Now.

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, azhe and four team this weekend,

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: and they are favored against the Colts, like, go figure.

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Exactly because well, you know what they're they are wounded animals,

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: so to speak. They're backs against the wall, so they

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: aren't come out the firing. So it's gonna be a

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: tough game for the Colts. But you know what, they

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: just have to go down there and just take care

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: of their own business, worry about the Colts, and that's

39
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: all they have to do.

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, all right, Casey trivia time here right out

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: of the gate, and Bill, feel free to hear chime

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: in here.

43
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: All right.

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: The nine losses for the Colts seven different starting quarterbacks

45
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: in that time, in those losses to the Jaguars. Can

46
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: you name the seven Colts quarterbacks that have started the

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Colts quarterback correct?

48
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: Okay, so you've got Luck Rivers, WinCE, Ryan Brissette.

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett. Yep, you're missing two more. Gardner Minshew, Erner

50
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Minshew last year and he was really old at the time.

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback, boy, hey boy, yeah, wow, I.

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: Thought you were asking me to name the Jack's quarterbacks.

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 4: I can do that too. I know you can throw

54
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: in like Cody Kessler, he's got a victory, Trevor Lawrence,

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: Trevorie Portals for three, Gardner Minshew for two, both sides

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: of Ledger there for yeah, man, Cody Kessler and the

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 4: starting quarterback the last time the Colts beat the Jaguars

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: in Jacksonville twenty fourteen, Chad.

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: It would be Chad Henny. I knew who the quarterback

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: was the last time.

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Man, geez man.

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know the way you started this all off,

63
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: I knew that it was October and we had four

64
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: out of five on the road, so it it kind

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: of fits the mold for everything you talked about.

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this scary this trip to Jacksonville October.

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: The yeah, and that matters Week five, Week eight, Yeah,

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: it fits. It's tough sledding down there, so hopefully the

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: Colts can erase some bad memories. Coming up this Sunday,

70
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Week number five, as the Colts look for their first

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: division win of the season, trying to get back on

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: the winning side of things here inside the AFC South.

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Only one game back are the Colts of the first

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: place Houston Texans going into game number five. All right,

75
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: so we're low to here today on the podcast, a

76
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. We'll discuss the game in detail.

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Why are the Jaguars struggling right, They're zero to four

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: that are really banked up on defense. Offensively, they're only

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: scoring about fifteen points per game. Trevor Lawrence has lost

80
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: nine straight personal individual games. That's the longest losing streak

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: for him and his career. So we'll talk about the

82
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: ups and the downs when it comes to Jacksonville. Speaking

83
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: of that for the Colts, we're talking about things that

84
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: are up after two wins and some things that still

85
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: need to be picked up going into a divisional play

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: with the Colts playing back to back games on the road,

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: inside the AFC South, first Jacksonville and then the Tennessee Titans.

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Also joining us here today will be Will Fries, the

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: offensive lineman he started almost thirty consecutive games dating back

90
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two. He's a mainstay along this offensive line,

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: paving the way for the Colts ground game that's really

92
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: off to a strong start. Jonathan Taylor's feasted behind the

93
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: likes of Will Fries and company, so he's going to

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: join us on the show. And also, Bill, I don't

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: know if you know this, but Casey's new nickname is

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: it's not Casey Valier. It's case O Valier, the Moniker,

97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: given to him by the Great Jeffrey Jeffreygars because my

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: man here, my man loves Taco Tuesday.

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: I do.

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: I love the Taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday is right in

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: his will house. So therefore, case O Valier.

102
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: How many nicknames do you have, Casey?

103
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: That's my second one, and both of them happened here.

104
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: The one and only Matt Conti came up with Showcase

105
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: Case a handful of years ago, and then as of

106
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: earlier this week, Jeffrey actually texted Kanti and said Showcase

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: is now going by caso, So it was news to me.

108
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: But O like cheerio or was it qu is that

109
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, like the cheese, like the cheese.

110
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: I think it was it all because when we have

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: Taco Tuesday, there's always that caso bar as well, and

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: Jeffrey is all about watching what he eats, so he

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: says the caso he can't have it, but he smells

114
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: it every time.

115
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: So this is diving into Jeffery a little.

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: So he'll come over and he'll smell my caso to

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: get princely mixed.

118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: And then yeah, that that is so weird. You know,

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: it's right on part with you. I really don't want

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: to smell my cheese, sir, if you could take her

121
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: sniffer out of my cheese, Like what in the what

122
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: are we doing? All right? But anyways, Keso made a

123
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: lot of bold calls and his bold predictions last Sunday games. Yes, Steelers,

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: they all came true. You went on a big limb

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: and said, Michael Pittman Junior, it's gonna have a big game.

126
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Who saw that? Come right? A top receiver who got

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: a contract extension and you know, got paid megabucks in

128
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the offseason. Great prediction. By you, Yes, but he also

129
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: said the Colts would win, and they did. So we're

130
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna put all of that knowledge to the test

131
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: this week on Caso's calls as it relates to Colts

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: and Jaguars coming up on Sunday. So we're gonna do

133
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: that to close out. So I like it.

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: I'm putting myself out there because there's a really good

135
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: chance he really is. This is gonna be a one

136
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: time thing because my bold predictions.

137
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Who knows how bold they really are. All right, well,

138
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: we're bolding the headline of the week here and that

139
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: obviously pertains the starting quarterback for the Colts, Anthony Richardson.

140
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Right now, Fellas, the Colts are in a little bit

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: of a dilemma with their starting quarterback. He started eight games,

142
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: he's been knocked out of four of them with injuries.

143
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: The latest one obviously is with the hip. Joe Flacco

144
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: came in tip of the Captain Joe and his professionalism,

145
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: his maturity being able to come in and lead the

146
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Colts to a victory. But Bill, it's like this this

147
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: cloud over the Colts franchise that's not going anywhere until

148
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: they figure this out. What do they do with Anthony Richardson.

149
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: By the way, we don't know if he's gonna play

150
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday as we sit here and take this show.

151
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: This is Thursday, so the Colts have practice once. They're

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna practice two more times Thursday and Friday. We don't

153
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: know what the injury report's gonna be. Full clarification there,

154
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: but as of right now, it's kind of fifty to fifty,

155
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: kind of murky on his availability for game number five?

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: So Bill, what are the Colts to do? And I'm

157
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: not being funny, like I'm legitimately wanting a roundtable conversation

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: with this. What can the Colts do to protect Anthony

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Richardson in the running game, Because it's not like they

160
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: can pull back on calling design runs because if he

161
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: don't tap into that, you should not have drafted him

162
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: forth overall, So he is here for a reason. How

163
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: can they maximize his availability while also staying dynamic as

164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: they want to be with Anthony Richardson on the field.

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: As you said, the reason they drafted him was because

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: of his talent, his talent of being able to run

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: the ball and being fast, and you know, he also

168
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: has the attribute of being a big, young man as well.

169
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: So with that, for the most part, he can run

170
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: over a lot of guys out there in the football field.

171
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: But that's the question I don't think.

172
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: I don't think personally, I don't think he should at

173
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: right now because I think he can run the ball.

174
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: But also, well, I should say this, It depends on

175
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: the situation. If it's fourth and one, you need a yard, well,

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: he has to run over someone. And if someone's in

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: his way, I believe to get that yard time situation,

178
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: yes exactly, but if no one's there, defender is coming

179
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: after him, I don't think he should try to run

180
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: over someone get as many yards as you can, get

181
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: down or get out of bounds.

182
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: Because he's a quarterback that the Coats.

183
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: Want to develop, want to be real good in this offense,

184
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: and he can be good in this offense because he has.

185
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: The talent to do it town, to run, town, to

186
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: throw the ball.

187
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: And so I think, you know, the thing that he

188
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: needs to think about is his availability. Now for me

189
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: to say that while I'm sitting here, it's easy for

190
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: me to say that because he's a competitor and he

191
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: wants to go out there and when he wants.

192
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: To play football, happens so fast, exactly, happen so fast.

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: So the instinct is that if someone's coming after you

194
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: to run them over, and it's very hard to change that.

195
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: So there's something that's going to take time.

196
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: I believe, I believe he can do it, and I

197
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: believe if he does it, you know, I think he

198
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: will stay healthy by you know, not running over too

199
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: many guys, and I think that would be the best

200
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: option for him.

201
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: But you still have to run the man.

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, in casey this, I mean, like I said, this

203
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: is this isn't going anywhere until this is kind of

204
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: smoothed out and Anthony Richardson can prove that he can

205
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: play more than four games into a season without this,

206
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, popping up again.

207
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

208
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: It's hard to kind of set up a game plan

209
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 4: to keep everybody healthy because that's right, it's a contact,

210
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: violent sport. Injuries are part of it. And you don't

211
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: want to just say that you're going to deal with

212
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 4: the injuries to your quarterback because that's never the position

213
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: you can afford to have those injuries. Actually, when you're

214
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: trying to figure out whether or not he's going to

215
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: be the franchise quarterback, you start talking about financials and

216
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: all that, All of it comes into play. And that's

217
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: why majority of the time, these are the conversations we're

218
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: having because it's probably the most important position in all

219
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: of sports, and so it's really hard to set up

220
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: that game plan. My only thought on a way to

221
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: counteract it is, you know, as we're watching that play

222
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: in the booth, it hurt my hip. I can't imagine

223
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: what it felt actually taking the hit. The only thing

224
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: I can think of is maybe instead of running up

225
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: the middle, it's more you're getting on the outside, so

226
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 4: you have that ability of can I break it for

227
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: a couple more yards? If not, I can hit the

228
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: sidelines and you're playing it safe there. But then it's

229
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: also there's lots of computer there's so much there. And

230
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: you made such a great point with It's happened so fast,

231
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 4: and that's what's so hard. You can talk about the slide,

232
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: you can talk about all of this, but at the

233
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: end of the day, I mean, we saw it with

234
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 4: Andrew Luck when he was here, and it was a

235
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: big problem that we had with all of those where

236
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 4: you're a football player, you have been playing football a

237
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: certain way for so long. It's hard to eliminate that

238
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: and pull back the reins, because there's a reason you

239
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: draft a guy in Anthony Richardson where you do, because

240
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 4: of all that he brings from. You know, he's not

241
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: just your you know, he can throw the ball, he

242
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: can run the ball. He does it all in a

243
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: different way than anybody else has ever done it. So

244
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: you don't want to pull back the reins. But you

245
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: also need him healthy. You need him out there because

246
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if he can do all these things,

247
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: but he's on the sideline. So it's it's a real

248
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: hard give and take.

249
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it's concerning on three levels, all right.

250
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: The first level is from the team standpoint, and these

251
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: aren't in no particular order. Okay, from the team standpoint,

252
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: you want him out there because of what he does

253
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: for the offense. Right he opens up the running game.

254
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: He's a great yards per attempt quarterback. If it can

255
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: be more accurate to compliment what he does and being

256
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: able to push the ball down the field, the offense

257
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: is at its best and its most explosive potential when

258
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: he's on the field. Okay. Secondly, is we're still talking

259
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: about a guy that has what twenty one starts past

260
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: high school. Yeah, all right, so he needs to continue

261
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: to play. He's still overall. I mean, we talked about

262
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: it all off season twenty twenty four is essentially his

263
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: rookie season two point zero considering all the time that

264
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: he missed last year. So he needs it. He needs

265
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: to stay healthy from an experience standpoint. And thirdly, and

266
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: this is probably number one. I should have let off

267
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: with this, but now you're starting to worry about the

268
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: guy in terms of his health because he's had four

269
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: different injuries to four different parts of his body, right,

270
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: and so he's still a young guy, and you don't

271
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: want this to be the narrative for him going forward

272
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: that he a he can't stay healthy and he has

273
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to deal with that stigma. But be you just worry

274
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: about the body parts as he continues to grow. He's

275
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: only twenty one years old. He's still got a lot

276
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of football left ahead of him, but he won't be

277
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: able to play if he's banged up. And he's got

278
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: these things that could potentially linger on with him throughout

279
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: the remainder of his career.

280
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree.

281
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he needs to make sure that

282
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: he takes care of himself, and I think one way

283
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: to do that is what we just talked about, basically,

284
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: is that when I know the game happens fast, but

285
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: when you're going out there and you have an opportunity

286
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: to game the yards, but when you can see hopefully

287
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: the hit coming, maybe you need to get down or

288
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: get out of bounce just to save you from getting

289
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: injured and being able to play the next play.

290
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, another injury to speak of for the

291
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: colt It's a big one. Jonathan Taylor left the game

292
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter last Sunday against Pittsburgh with that

293
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain. We know about the history with Jonathan

294
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Taylor with that ankle sprain that goes all the way

295
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty two late in the season that year,

296
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: lingered into the start of twenty twenty three. It pops

297
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: up again. Hasn't practiced this week, didn't practice Wednesday, spoke

298
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: with reporters today on Thursday, said he's probably not going

299
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: to practice again today, So we'll see. I mean, he's

300
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: at the point of his career where he could probably

301
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: play or practice Friday and then see if he can

302
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: give it a go. Be a game time decision on Sunday.

303
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: But Bill, what what does the running game look like

304
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: if you don't have Richardson and you don't have Taylor

305
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday, it's a little different.

306
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: You know, you have Flacco back there, and you have

307
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: Trey Summon and possibly.

308
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: Good lot a lot of threats, Yeah, are going.

309
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Exactly so the defense, you're not thinking about the quarterback running.

310
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: You know Flack, Oh, yes he can run.

311
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: He showed that a little bit in training camp sometimes,

312
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: so he can't run, but he's not Anthony Richardson back there.

313
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: Of course, Jonathan Taylor back there. It gives a defense

314
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: something to think about when you have two legitimate runners

315
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: back there that you have to defend out in the game.

316
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: So it changes things a little bit. But you still

317
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: want to run the ball. You still have to run

318
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: the ball to set up some other plaction passing later

319
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: on in the downs or later on in the game.

320
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: So you need to run the ball. A lot is

321
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: going to depend on what happens up front for those guys.

322
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: I think, you know, you really depend on the guys

323
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: upfront to make that running game go. And I think

324
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: with the guys in front, they can do a good job.

325
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: And then the guys and.

326
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: Running the ball, you know, Goodson and the Sermon.

327
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'll do a good, good enough job

328
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: out there to handle the low for the game.

329
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens.

330
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: And I think Joe is a good play action pass

331
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: quarterback where that will set up some plays and pass.

332
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Hopefully you can get the ball down the field of

333
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: some of your big receivers.

334
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: I'm anxious too if that is the route that that

335
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 4: happens on Sunday, is you might see a little bit

336
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: more creativity.

337
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: We saw a little bit that.

338
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: When Joe came in with the the Jets sweep that

339
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: we saw Ady Mitchell have. You might see a little

340
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: bit more of that. To try and in some ways

341
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: keep yourself in two dimensional offense because what.

342
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: You do compose another threat to the right.

343
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: That's that's the biggest thing is you know, if you

344
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: eliminate Jonathan Taylor and Anthony Richardson, you know, I'm not

345
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: it's not throwing any shade on you know what, Trey

346
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: Sermon or Tyler Goodson or Joe Flacco. It's just the dynamic.

347
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: It it leaves offense. It definitely definitely does. So that

348
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: is gonna be something I'm anxious to see that. If

349
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: that's the way, you might see a little bit more wrinkles,

350
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: a little bit more creativity. And we know that Shane

351
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 4: Steichen and Jim Bob Cooter and those I mean, these

352
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: guys you could talk to a bunch of experts out there.

353
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: They're pretty pretty great play caller. So I'm not worried

354
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: about it from that, I'm just interested to see how

355
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: that'll go.

356
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: If those two guys can't well. I think it also

357
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: goes without saying that the creativity in the Running game,

358
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: the design runs have to be there. It's going to

359
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: be the kitchen sink with whams outside zone right right.

360
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: Anything that's up in the playbook that can take advantage

361
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: of the running game with the great offensive line has

362
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: to be there. So it's not like you're gonna stick

363
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: with ISOs and powers. Everything up in the running game

364
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: has got to be available to call because you don't

365
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: have the thread of Richardson opening up holes for Taylor

366
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: and vice versa because of the threats of them being

367
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: together on the field at the same time, right, So

368
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to kind of pull that linebacker,

369
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: pull that defensive end for to split second because he

370
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: has to respect Anthony Richardson. Well, he don't have to

371
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: do that now that Joe Flacco is on the field potentially,

372
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: So again, we'll see what comes up on Sunday in

373
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: terms of their availability for their you know, arguably top

374
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: two players on offense, quarterback and running back. All Right,

375
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the Colts are two and two. They're on a two

376
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: game heater. Here. We're going to talk about the areas

377
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: that are trending up going into this Jags game. The

378
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: big one the rushing defense. All Right, the numbers in

379
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: the last two games Chicago and Pittsburgh, the Colts are

380
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: just hammering teams against the run. The rushing defense has

381
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: been on fire, and the first two games we know

382
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: about over four hundred yards allowed to both Houston or Combine.

383
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: I should say to Houston and Green Bay, what is

384
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: the difference in the running game? What is going on

385
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: schematically from how you see it, Bill, and why the

386
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: Colts have been way more successful stuff in the run lately.

387
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: Well, I think one of the things if you look

388
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: at the first game against Houston, I think Houston did

389
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: a good job of getting to that second level and

390
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 2: getting a hat on a linebacker and blocking linebackers and

391
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 2: that you know, stemming the linebackers from making players getting

392
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: up into the hole, clogging up the hole and stopping

393
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: up the hole for to stop Joe Mixon against the

394
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. But now you're seeing, I think these last

395
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: couple of games, especially the game against the Steelers, you

396
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: saw those guys flying around filling those holes and the

397
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: guys could not get to the second level as far

398
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: as officer lineman of the Steelers get to the second level.

399
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: And you saw the linebackers flying to the ball, getting

400
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: to the ball and being more aggressive and attacking the ball.

401
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: So I think that is, to me, is the biggest

402
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: thing that I saw just watching the film. Most guys

403
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: being more aggressive and they're filling the hole, not just

404
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: the linebackers, but also you had a strong safety coming

405
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: up filling up as well. You know, you had Nick

406
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 2: Cross come up there making some big tackles and actually

407
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: making tackles all year long, you know, making tackles all

408
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 2: year long.

409
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: So he's doing a good job back there.

410
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: So that was the biggest difference I've seen from the

411
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: first two games into these last time.

412
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: This is a non football answer, but I think it's

413
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: Probably the one that's most applicable is that there's just

414
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: an edge the Yeah, the last two games, there's more

415
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: of an edge ye stopping the run than there was

416
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: in the first two games. So that's definitely trending in

417
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: the right direction. Casey, I'm throwing it to you. How

418
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: about the pass catchers for the Colts. Michael Pittman Junior

419
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: and Josh Down stepped up in a big time way

420
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: last Sunday. Those guys combined for fourteen catches, one hundred

421
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: and ninety five yards and a touchdown. They averaged, excuse me,

422
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, averaged eighteen point eight yards per catch,

423
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: which is really good to see because some have kind

424
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: of pigeonholed him and labeled him as just the middle

425
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: of the field guy, a high volume catch guy, not

426
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: big yards per catch. But he kind of dispelled that

427
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: last Sunday. So, Casey, is the passing game finally coming

428
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: along where it's complimenting the running game that's been there

429
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: all season?

430
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: To think, oh absolutely, I mean the elephant in the

431
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: room is the impact that Josh Downs brings this passing game.

432
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: We knew how important it was going to be once

433
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: he was able to get back on the field. You

434
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 4: saw it, You saw it last year, we all saw

435
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: it in training camp. Yeah, just the connection that he

436
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: and Richardson have. Joe Flacco's a veteran, so you knew

437
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: that connection was going to be there.

438
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Because he's just he's been there.

439
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: There's nothing you can throw at Joe Flack who hasn't

440
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 4: seen but Josh Downs just adds another element. And what

441
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 4: you saw out of Michael Pittman was I think a

442
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: little bit more last week of what he's been trying

443
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 4: to talk about the last couple of years, that he

444
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: is more, he wants to offer more, and I think

445
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: you saw a little bit more of his game on

446
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: Sunday that you know, It's one of those things we

447
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: have to continue to see it to make it, you know,

448
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: put it into existence that it's going to be there.

449
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 4: But I think that is something that you can kind

450
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 4: of see that Michael Pittman can offer a little bit

451
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 4: more than just the you know, nine to ten yards

452
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: per carry or per catch guy. And I'm not saying

453
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 4: he's going to be Alec Pierson, the home run guy,

454
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 4: but it's definitely going to continue to open up those

455
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 4: opportunities and you know, we've talked about those three guys.

456
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: We know the importance that Josh Downs has brought. The

457
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. We knew Michael Pittman was going

458
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 4: to break out. Alec Pierce has been dynamic, and we

459
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: can't stop talking about ad Mitchell because he continues to

460
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 4: get open. It has the connection hasn't been there yet.

461
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 4: I know that at some point it will because you

462
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 4: keep getting open. At some point it's it's gonna start clicking.

463
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 4: And if you can add a fourth dynamic weapon into

464
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: that passing game. I mean, you know what the run

465
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: game is, especially with Taylor and Richardson, it is one

466
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 4: of the best that's going on in the NFL right now.

467
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: But the way the passing game is coming on, it

468
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: could really continue to make this offense and absolutely lethal

469
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: offense here.

470
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: And ad only with two catches so far in this season.

471
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: But you're right, he's got a couple of drops, but

472
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: he's open. He's open, right, he is getting separation. That's

473
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: the you'd be concerned if he wasn't getting open. But

474
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing. He is getting open, and Bill, you

475
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: know that. I mean, that's that's the big one of

476
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: the most.

477
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: Important parts exactly for a rookie coming into the league.

478
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing you're looking at, Candy get open.

479
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: Can he create separation. If you can create separation, then

480
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: he's doing a good thing. Just the amount of timing those

481
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: guys working on at the time and getting that timing down,

482
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: he'll be fine. This is going to take some time.

483
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: All right, that's the good. Let's talk about the things

484
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: that need to be brought up to the next level

485
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: as the Colts look to go over five hundred for

486
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: the first time this season. All right, let's talk about

487
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: just total defense. We talked about smashing the run. That's good,

488
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: but the overall volume needs to come down because the

489
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: Colts are getting timely stops. Yes, they're making some game

490
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: changing plays with the sacks and the tackles for loss

491
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: and the takeaways. Right, the Colts have five takeaways in

492
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the last two games, which no coincidence. Those are wins.

493
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: They only had one takeaway in the first two games

494
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: those were losses. Right, But the Colts ranked last in

495
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: the NFL and total yards. They're giving up almost four

496
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards per game. They've allowed the most third down

497
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: conversions in the NFL, which is leading to a large

498
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: amount of time spent on the field. So I'll pose

499
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: it to Casey first. Can the Colts dominate the worst

500
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL? One of the worst offenses in

501
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend? The Jaguars, as we said, they're

502
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: only putting up about fifteen points per game. They've got

503
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: some in on their offense. I don't know if Evan

504
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Ingram's going to play and Trevor Lawrence is really struggling.

505
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Can the Cole's defense put it all together coming up

506
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: this weekend?

507
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 4: No, I mean, I think you have to if you

508
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 4: want to get a win, I think it starts there.

509
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: You have to continue to kick this team while they're down.

510
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about fifteen points per game, and

511
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: you look at all the weapons they have.

512
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: It's one of those things.

513
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: Right now they're down, you got to keep them there

514
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: because it's an offense that if it gets going. I mean,

515
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, we all know what Trevor

516
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: Lawrence can do. There's a reason that this guy was

517
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 4: so highly touted coming out. He's put on some really

518
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 4: good tape in the NFL. He is in a bad

519
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: slump right now. You talk about nine straight losses, not

520
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: at all would we would anticipate from a guy in

521
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence. But the weapons that he has, you know

522
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 4: that there is a I mean, they can break out

523
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 4: and do it in a hurry. So I think it's

524
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 4: a really good time to have this team because they

525
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 4: are kind of here in the outside noise. You've got

526
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 4: people asking about job security and play calling and why

527
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 4: can't this work? And is it time to start thinking

528
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: about maybe t Lawrence not being the guy? So kick

529
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: them while they're down. You take advantage of everything they're

530
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: going through right now. They just lost another tough game

531
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: against a divisional opponent, so they see that. You know,

532
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 4: they're their playoff hopes right now at oho and four

533
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 4: are very very hard.

534
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: By the way, no team has ever gone started zero

535
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: to five and made the player.

536
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: There you go.

537
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: So, I mean they know what is going on, how

538
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: important this game is. But I think there is no

539
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: better time to get a Jacksonville team. Yes, we know

540
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 4: about the streak, but it's a really good time. The

541
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 4: Colts take on them right now.

542
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: And familiar said, jump on them early, real early, first quarter,

543
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: jump on them real early, get up on them.

544
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: Just like last week. Yeaheah, just like.

545
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: Last week and a lot of times what happens, you guys.

546
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: And they've been giving up a lot of points, yes

547
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: they have.

548
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: And then Gas will say, you know what, here we

549
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: go again. And if they get that mentality, then you

550
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: know what they've done for the day. So I think

551
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: the coach that they can jump on them early and

552
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: play the run like they've been playing the run the

553
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. Then as Trevor's been struggling, maybe

554
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 2: he struggles again, and that reguards in that regards, but

555
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: they do have some weapons out there. As you said, Casey,

556
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: they have weapons, and they have Atn in the backfield.

557
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: Have Bigsby in the backfield.

558
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Yep.

559
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: They've been averaging over five point five yards per carry,

560
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: so they can run the ball.

561
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Ingram.

562
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: Don't know if he's gonna play Evan Ingram at tight

563
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: end because he's been out with an injury, but he's

564
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: a good weapon for them. And then also Christian Kirk.

565
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: You know, then you have Brian Thomas, the young guy.

566
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: So they have weapons. It's just a matter if they

567
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: can put together. But I think if you jump on

568
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: them early, it will be very difficult to very difficult.

569
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: For them to get on track and try to come

570
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: back and win the game.

571
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: All right, our last level to kind of bring up here.

572
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Hopefully this is part of the game that shows up

573
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Sunday for the Colts. How about special teams fuel goal reliability?

574
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: All right, Matt Gay was two for three last week,

575
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: but he missed from fifty four, So that now means

576
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: he's missed four of his last five field goals from

577
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: at least fifty yards dating back to last year. He's

578
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: zero for two from fifty plus so far this season. Bill,

579
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: how much of a concern is this for the Colts

580
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: in the kicking game?

581
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 5: Right?

582
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: When Matt Gay comes on the field for a substantial

583
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: field goal, right, let's say forty five plus, where are

584
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: you right now in terms of confidence?

585
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: Well, before you know, I think the question was asked before,

586
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: and I wasn't concerned before, But now I have to

587
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 2: think twice about it now coming on the field if

588
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: it's a fifty yard field goal, and you still have

589
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: to think about that in regards to okay, where do

590
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: you have to get to on the field to feel

591
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: comfortable where he can make a game winning field goal?

592
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: He's under forty he's been automatic, right exactly. It's the

593
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: longer field goal.

594
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: The longer field.

595
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: Goal, so that changes your play call, and that changes

596
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 2: some of the things you do on offense. You know,

597
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: what do you have to do as far as to

598
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: get in his field, get in field goal range where

599
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: you feel comfortable for him.

600
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: So it isn't concern. But I think he will fight

601
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: through it. I think he will get through it.

602
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: Longs he keeps on working at it, I think he

603
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: will get better at it and it will, you know,

604
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: come through. I think there will be a game where

605
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: the coastalgun depend on him to make a big kick,

606
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: and I think he will be able to produce and

607
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: make a big kick.

608
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 4: I mean, it is crazy to think that this is

609
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 4: the conversation we're having because we all remember back to

610
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 4: his was it four fifty yard field goals against Baltimore.

611
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: That's just a year ago. When he was brought in,

612
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 4: he was one of the most consistent from fifty plus.

613
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 4: And I mean, he'll be the first to admit he's

614
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: in a slump. He doesn't know what's going on. He

615
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 4: thinks everything, I mean, pregame and practices. I don't get

616
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: paid for those kicks, but the balls flying off my foot, Well,

617
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: everything's going good in some ways. I'm going to relate

618
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 4: this back to kind of basketball mentality, like shoot or shoot,

619
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 4: And I think right now he's just in a slump

620
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: and he's just got to see one go in and

621
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 4: the importance of one going in it's going to just

622
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: change the whole thing. So I'm with Bill. I think

623
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: he's gonna get over this slump. He just has to

624
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: see one go through.

625
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. There you go, well done,

626
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: shoot or shoot? You miss missed one hundred percent of

627
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: the shots. You don't exactly. Wayne Gretzky and Michael Scott

628
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: said that Scott I would love to just like requote

629
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: other people and just say and Matt Taylor just steal

630
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: their line credit for it. I've been doing it for years, right,

631
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: all right, well done? Right there, Matt Gay looking for

632
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: some more consistency. A guy up front that's part of

633
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: a very consistent group. That's Will Fries, starting right guard

634
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts. That running game is top five.

635
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is feasting behind that unit. Will Fries is

636
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: our guest here on the Official Colts Podcast. Today we

637
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: chat with him earlier today about his consistency, his great season,

638
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: and how the Colts are trying to get over five

639
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: hundred with a win this weekend. All right, it's time

640
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: now to go one on one with Colts offensive guard

641
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: Will Fries, who joins us fresh off that performance last

642
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: Sunday beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offensive line paved the

643
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: way for the ground game to brack up one hundred

644
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: and thirty three rushing yards. Really physical game. Will, I mean,

645
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: just how important was it to get that game? And

646
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: how you feeling after a game like that?

647
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, super important to get that one. You know, want

648
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 5: to get back to five hundred. Going into a really

649
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: talented front. You know, a bunch of really good players

650
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 5: that have up front. You know, their whole box players,

651
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 5: you know, really their whole defense. You know, those important

652
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: for us to go out there. You know, run the ball,

653
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 5: you know, make some yards there. You know, opens up

654
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: a little bit more in the past game. But super

655
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 5: one to get it. It's a great defense to get

656
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: back to five hundred.

657
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. You're a quarter of the season

658
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: in Will. I mean, you guys in the trenches. I

659
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: don't think anybody can really fully understand just how much

660
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: wear and tear you guys go through. So four games in,

661
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: how are you feeling, how you're holding up so far? Yeah,

662
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: feeling good.

663
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 5: You know it starts to add up, you know, as

664
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: the season goes along, and you know it's just important

665
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 5: that you stay on top of those things, you know,

666
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: treatments and doing what you can to take care of

667
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 5: the bumps and bruises, and you know, guys battling through

668
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 5: things is super awesome to see. You know, you're never

669
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 5: gonna be healthy and this league, but to have you know,

670
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 5: five guys go out there and you know, battle through things,

671
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: and you know what, it's not always easy. It's a

672
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 5: says a lot about you know, our group and you

673
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 5: know their their mindset and how important is to each

674
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: other to be out there for each other.

675
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: So it's awesome to say. In a normal week, when

676
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: you're playing Sunday to Sunday, you know, one o'clock game

677
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: to one o'clock game, what part of the week do

678
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: you feel good? Like feel normal? An off a game

679
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: like last week against Pittsburgh.

680
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know you're never gonna feel good on Monday.

681
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: You know, maybe Tuesday rolls around you did your massage

682
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: or your treatments or whatever, you start filming better. But

683
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 5: then you know, obviously Wednesday there is their heavy workload days,

684
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 5: so you're gonna get right back after it. And you

685
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: know they do a good job of taking care of

686
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 5: us when they need to, but it's time to work

687
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 5: done too.

688
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: So all right for you, you've started twenty nine straight games

689
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: in the regular season with this team. I think you

690
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: have to go back to the middle of twenty twenty

691
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: two when you weren't a starter. So you're you're a

692
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: mainstay within this offensive line that's playing so well together,

693
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: that's gelling so well together, yourself and Ryan and Braden

694
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: and Quinton and now Bernard. You guys have been together

695
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: for a long time. Sure, how much is that factoring

696
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: into the success of this offensive line so far this year?

697
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 5: It's super important that have five guys, you know, to

698
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 5: bank that many reps together, you know, through off seasons

699
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 5: and things like that, it's super important. You know, I

700
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: think that it shows the chemistry we have and the trust.

701
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: You know, you know, you can kind of dial down

702
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 5: part of the communication, but it's so important that we've

703
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 5: all been out there and be able to do you know,

704
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 5: do those things together. You know, credit to Tony for uh,

705
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: you know, keeping us all together and you know, making

706
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 5: that important. You know, part of that offensive line that

707
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 5: the five of us are playing as one together. So

708
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 5: that's super important.

709
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you brought up Tony, Tony Sperano your position coach.

710
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: It's been here in the last couple of years. I mean,

711
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: he's just he's just a good dude. Like he's he's

712
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of a laid back personality guy, but he knows

713
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: when to get after. He knows what but buttons to

714
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: push within you guys, How how does he go about

715
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: getting the best out of the group collectively?

716
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you said, like he is just you know,

717
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 5: the best guy ever. You know, he knows what buttons suppressed.

718
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: You know, he knows when you know, as an offensive lives,

719
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 5: we nactually hard on yourself, you know, to be you know,

720
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 5: custat scream at all the time. Like isn't always the

721
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 5: best approach, and.

722
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: That's not his style, right, it's not right.

723
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 5: But there are times you need that, and there's times

724
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 5: where you need to be held accountable, and there's times

725
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: where you need that you know, kind of fire, uh,

726
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 5: let underneath you and there's times where he has to

727
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 5: get after you, and I think that's super important too.

728
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: So he knows how to you know, push and pull

729
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 5: the balances of uh, you know, what the group needs

730
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 5: that week. So he does a great job preparing us,

731
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: you know, emotionally, you know the game plan wise, everything,

732
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: you know, get rid of these games.

733
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm watching the games literally from seven stories up, all right,

734
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: so I get the bird's eye of view of everything.

735
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: And from my vantage point, will it looks like your

736
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: season's going really well. How would you assess your playing

737
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: so far?

738
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: Yes, super happy with the way I'm playing, you know,

739
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 5: but that's for the whole group, you know, right, the

740
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 5: whole group's playing well. You know, we're doing we need

741
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 5: to do playing and play out. We're paring the right way.

742
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 5: So now it's really a whole group, a whole unit thing.

743
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 5: And it's not just you know, the five stars, you know,

744
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 5: I just see Tanner stepped up, played really well. Yeah,

745
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 5: you know, all those guys that are good. You know,

746
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: you never know when you're one play away. So it's

747
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 5: really the whole all eleven guys that room, Tony, and

748
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 5: while preparing us, it's it's the whole group that's doing well.

749
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you brought up Tanner. You guys have been incredibly

750
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: healthy knock on wood here right this whole season, outside

751
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: of that one game with Ryan Kelly last week not

752
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: being able to go with the next So here comes

753
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: Tanner Bordolini. I mean, what a story, right inactive the

754
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: first three games of the season, comes in his first

755
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: NFL start, his first NFL game of any kind, and oh,

756
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: by the way, the guy across from him is freaking

757
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Cameron Hayward right exactly. So how did you help him

758
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: last week and how impressed were you with how he

759
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: handled that situation.

760
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think as you go along through the off

761
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 5: season and training camp, I'm you know, Kawi guy, he's

762
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 5: done a really good job, you know, preparing, doing extra

763
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 5: you know, he's here really early, taking care of himself.

764
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: I'm doing things after practice he already. So I think

765
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: when your numbers called upon, he you know, he stepped

766
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 5: up and was ready for the moment against a really

767
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 5: good defensive front. And you know what, he went out

768
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 5: there and played well. He was confident, communicated well. So

769
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 5: he did a great job out there.

770
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: For him, no question about it. I mean, what'd you

771
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: make in his celebration too. That that forty yard dash

772
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: she had up the sideline a little bit after.

773
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 5: It was awesome, But that might have to be a

774
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 5: fine in the old line room. Really, it was awesome

775
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: to see. It's all it's all fun.

776
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: But well, I tell you not not to go this way,

777
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: But I tell you what has not been fun for

778
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: this team trips down to Jacksonville. Right, nine straight losses

779
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars as the visiting team. You've experienced three

780
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, can you put your fingerprint on I mean,

781
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: it's not no disrespect to the Jaguar fan base in

782
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: the stadium. It's not like you're playing an arrowhead in

783
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: those games. Right, So what I mean, what can you

784
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: point to as far as like what's made it difficult

785
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: to beat them on the road down there.

786
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 5: I think when you get in these type of situations,

787
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 5: it's important to look internally and you know, it's really

788
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 5: not about any of that the pass. It's but what

789
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 5: we need to do this week to do out there

790
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 5: and got a win. You need to go out there,

791
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 5: you know, prepare really well, you know, go down there

792
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 5: and be confident, and it's it's about us and you know,

793
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 5: playing to our standard.

794
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, defensively, what what do you notice about them on tape?

795
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: They can give you trouble. I know they've got a

796
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of injuries on that side of the ball, but still,

797
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, guys that are in the NFL for a reason.

798
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: What stands out to you about the way they play defense?

799
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 5: Really good front. You know they have a bunch of

800
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: you know, really good defensive linemen. You know, they're really

801
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 5: good at rushing the passer. The defense front is super strong.

802
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 5: So you know, it's gonna be an important week for

803
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 5: us to be on our you know, details, our preparation

804
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 5: and get ready for these guys because it's it's gonna

805
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 5: go down there. It's gonna be a hard game to

806
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 5: get a pin. So we got to go to there,

807
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: down there and be ready.

808
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: All right. So you got Jacksonville coming up this weekend,

809
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee the week after that. I'm not trying to step

810
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: at make you step out of your process of one

811
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: game at a time, but in saying that, you hear

812
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: the month of October four out of five on the road,

813
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: do you look at this stretch in terms of the

814
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: urgency that the team needs in order to put your

815
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: best foot forward? Knowing that this is a critical time

816
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: of the year in terms of the schedule because you

817
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: have a bunch of road games and three of them

818
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: are against the AFC South. This is a really important

819
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: time of the year.

820
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know to your point, you know kind of

821
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 5: looking ahead, but every week's important. It's important to take

822
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 5: it one week at a time and not look ahead.

823
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 5: But when you look ahead and you know, you'll get

824
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 5: anxiety and you know who's focus of kind of what's

825
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 5: right in front of you. So I think it's important

826
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 5: to kind of go down there to Jacksonville, you know,

827
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 5: play the best of we can get a win there,

828
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: and then you know, look ahead and obviously, like you said,

829
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 5: you know, a bunch of road games. You know it's

830
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 5: always gonna be a challenge environment no matter where you're going.

831
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: You know it's gonna take a one week at a

832
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 5: time kind of like I said, And you know, we'll

833
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 5: let you know, there's other games take care of themselves

834
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 5: when we get there.

835
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Hey, last thing, I'm always I

836
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: love asking the guys this question for you. When you

837
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: guys punch the ball in the end zone with a

838
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: great rushing play like from Jonathan Taylor Trey sermon and

839
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: you hear the roar of the crowd, you know, at

840
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: a home game. Would you rather experience that with the

841
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: adrenaline of the crowd or do you love the fact

842
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: that you can go on the road and do those

843
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: things and you just relish in the silence of breaking

844
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, fifty thousand people's hearts at the same time.

845
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 5: You know, it is pretty awesome at home when you

846
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: can celebrate with those guys and you hear the crowd crazy.

847
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 5: But there's something pretty satisfying about totally right on the road,

848
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: punch the one in and you hear that deafening silence. Yeah,

849
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 5: we're all celebrating together, you know, in the end zone.

850
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 5: So that's a good time. You guys against the world. Absolutely,

851
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 5: it's always been the mindset.

852
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Hundred percent, all right, Will Fries, the Colts and the

853
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars coming up on Sunday, the Colts trying to erase

854
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: this curse in the streak of nine straight loss is

855
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: down in Jackson's Will appreciate your time, good luck. That's

856
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: Will Fries on the official Colts podcast right outside the

857
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: Colts locker room, So really appreciate his time and thoughts.

858
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: Today going into week number five. I love interviewing the

859
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: skill guys, right because I'm kind of bigger than those guys.

860
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: And when I talk to Will to the offensive line,

861
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: they dwarfed me. Man. That's not a good feeling though.

862
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: It's not a good feeling when you're you feel inferior

863
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: to a guy that you know can just pound you

864
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: into the ground if you really wanted to.

865
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, those some big guys pick you off like a fly. No,

866
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: if he gets upset with one of this questions and

867
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: ask him, I.

868
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: Say, jump, jump, get out of here. Last time I'm

869
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: doing this podcast.

870
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 4: So essentially what you're saying is every other week now

871
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna have Josh down.

872
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, bring him, bring back t Y Hilton. I

873
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: like it all right, K. So we're putting you on

874
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: the hot seat here again. Casey Valier a ka K soo.

875
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: He loves his cheese. He loves to you know, dip

876
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: those tortillas. You know, I'm telling you, man, it is

877
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: some good stuff right there. But you earn the moniker

878
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: Kso it's time for your calls. Keeso's calls relate them

879
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: here to the Colts and Jaguars on Sunday, we'll see

880
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: what you got and we'll see if Bill and I

881
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: agree here.

882
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 4: So my first one, this is very good, this is

883
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 4: very very bold, and I'm gonna you talked about you

884
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: want to be put your name there where you can,

885
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 4: you know, take a moniker at I'm gonna steal something

886
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 4: from I'm giving you credit, but I'm stealing something that

887
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 4: Matt found this week.

888
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: I think the.

889
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 4: Colts will score on every first half possession they have

890
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: this week against the Jacks.

891
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: Nice the Jags.

892
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 4: Since Week two, they have allowed opponents to score eleven

893
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 4: of their twelve first half possessions.

894
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: Think about that.

895
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 4: You talk about the offense is struggling in Jacksonville. Essentially

896
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 4: in the first half they're down because eleven of the

897
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 4: twelve possessions that opponents have had they've scored points on.

898
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 4: So that's a really tough hill to climb out of.

899
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 4: So I think the Colts will score on every first

900
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 4: half possession, whether that's three, whether that's five, I think

901
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 4: every single one they find points.

902
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: To take that a step further, Houston scored on three

903
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: of their four first half possessions, and then if you

904
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: go to a game prior where they got shelled by

905
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: the Bill Bills Man Buffalo scored touchdowns on all five

906
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: of their first half drives.

907
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 3: I do have a question, though, casey, Okay, here we go.

908
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, these you cannot steal them from me.

909
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: These are your calls, not like I'm Matt said something fun.

910
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use it. Come on.

911
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: My prediction is mine, but I'm giving a little bit

912
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 4: of context to my prediction from you.

913
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: All Right.

914
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 3: Does would weather play a part in this?

915
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah?

916
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 4: Weather does seem to be like it's going to impact Sunday,

917
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 4: but I'm saying, you know what, They're gonna right through

918
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 4: it regardless. It favors the run a little bit more

919
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: with some rain in the forecast.

920
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: I like the Colts running offense by all means we're

921
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: scoring some rushing score like it.

922
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: I like it.

923
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: All right, Caso's call. We need to put the Caso

924
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: back into the microwave. There. Hat that one up a

925
00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: little bit. This one better be hoigher. Okay, come on now, So.

926
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 4: So this one, I'm not really going outside the box,

927
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: but in some ways I am. Because I mentioned before,

928
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 4: we know what Trevor Lawrence is. This guy, he was

929
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 4: taken first. Overall, we knew what he did in high school, college.

930
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: He's been so successful. It hasn't been this year. I

931
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 4: think it continues on Sunday that he completes less than

932
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 4: sixty percent of his passes. The Colts right now, I

933
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 4: mean opponents are I think they're completing sixty eight percent

934
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 4: of their passes through the first four weeks, among the

935
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 4: top in the league. I think the passing, all of

936
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 4: it combined. I think your defensive line continues to create

937
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: that pressure. It causes Lawrence to be off, and I

938
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 4: think he continues. He's got four straight weeks under sixty

939
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 4: percent completion and I think that continues this week in

940
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: the victory the Colts have over the Jacks.

941
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about Anthony Richardson just needing to play

942
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: right because the overall completion percentage is down. I think

943
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: Richardson is last in the NFL among starting quarterbacks and

944
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: completion percentage, But the guy right next to him thirty first,

945
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: Trevor Trevor Lawrence. Yes, exactly.

946
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: So I think the coach, as you said, case and

947
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 2: get some pressure on him. I think put pressure on

948
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: him and make him frustrated, especially early in the game.

949
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: I think that I agree with you with that stat

950
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: as far as in regards to not being able to

951
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 2: complete many passes and having a low percentage.

952
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: And just keep him in the pocket. And we haven't

953
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: talked really about I know we've got to close out here,

954
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: but keep him in the pocket. And the Colts pass

955
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: rush is starting to get a little bit thin, right

956
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: Taekwan Lewis is on irs, it's next man up. That

957
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,479
Speaker 1: means more playing time for Liatu Latu, more playing time

958
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: for guy like Adam Gotsis and Dio Danngbo who answered

959
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: the bell yes last Sunday with a sack and a half.

960
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: But the point is the pass rush in the lane,

961
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: integrity is always important. But Bill, in a game like this,

962
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: where we have seen Trevor Lawrence in this offense operate

963
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: so many times over the years, it's keep him in

964
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: the pocket and don't let him get out on designed

965
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: boots because that's when he is so deadly. He's a

966
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: really good passer outside the pocket where he's able to

967
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: kind of run and diagnose as they flood one zone.

968
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: But also he's just a really deceptive athlete. He's a

969
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: really good running quarterback too, and if that happens early

970
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: where he gets some confidence and is able to get

971
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: outside of the pocket and complete some easy throws. That

972
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: gets him in the rhythm and they seem to play

973
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: better because of that.

974
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: He is a good athlete, and as you said to me,

975
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 2: it seems like he does better when he's rolling out.

976
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: And they're going to try to do that they have

977
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: killed the Colts.

978
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: And that putting the ball downfield to his receivers, he

979
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: does a good job of that. And then as you said,

980
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: then if he does that early and gets a little confidence,

981
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: to me, I think right now he's just lacking some

982
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 2: confidence and you know what's going to happen out through

983
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: in the football field.

984
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: He's probably hoping things happen.

985
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 2: But if things happen for them and he gets out

986
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: of the pocket, he can make some things happen. So

987
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: I agree with you. Keep him in the pocket, get

988
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: him frustrated early, get him frustrated real early. Then maybe

989
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: he'll start sucking guessing himself again.

990
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: All right, what'd you think of Keso's calls? Should we

991
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: bring it back?

992
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: I want to bring it back. I want to bring

993
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 3: it back.

994
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: Let's have a bowl right here next en. During that

995
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: we should be eating, you know, next week.

996
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 4: We'll see if you know how we get into our

997
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: sales team. Hey, we've got a great idea, great segment.

998
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: We mean, people are up at night talking about it.

999
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 4: Come on, it may just be you and I, but hey,

1000
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 4: I'm all right.

1001
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: We got neighbors that are you know, Hey, did you

1002
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: hear Casos? I mean, can you believe that? I mean,

1003
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: eleven of twelve scoring first half? Are you serious? You know,

1004
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: I like it, I'll try and stay with it.

1005
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: And I didn't.

1006
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 4: I didn't go like, you know, low hanging fruit, like

1007
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 4: the Colts are going to play the game.
