20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: It's all about the recap of the Colts big win

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: over the Steelers on Sunday by account of twenty seven

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: to twenty four. The Colts are now two and two

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: on the season after a month, and we've got a

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: big show planned as always, coming up in just a

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: few minutes here. On this first segment, I'll be joined

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: by head coach Shane Steich and he'll break down the

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: win and take questions on the season so far. And

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: then starting on segment two, I'll bring it some roundtable

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: conversation on the Colts with former Colts coach Rick Van

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Turrey and former Colts offensive lineman Joe Wrights, and they'll

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: make their appearances per usual. But let's recap the win

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: for the Colts twenty seven to twenty four over the Steelers.

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Time now for the game rewind. The Colts handed the

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Steelers their first loss of the season, and it snapped

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: the six game regular season winning streak for Pittsburgh. The

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: Colts splitzed out to an early seventeen to nothing lead

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: by scoring on their first three drives of the game.

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: The first half was highlighted by big plays on offense,

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: key plays on defense, and the injury to Anthony Richardson,

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: second year quarterback. He took a nasty shot to his

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: hip on a scramble up the middle late in the

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: first quarter. He left for two plays, came back in

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: and then pulled up early on a scramble, and then

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: did not return for the remainder of the game. The

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: thirty nine year old Joe Flacco came in and provided

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: steady leadership on offense. Completed sixteen of twenty six passes

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: for one hundred and sixty eight yards in two touchdowns,

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: including one to Josh Downs the first half, and drew

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: Ogletree in the second half. Flacco in its eighteenth season,

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: he was surgical on third down on Sunday, completing six

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: of eight passes on third down for seventy two yards

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: with two touchdowns. All six pass completions resulted in the

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: first downs. Michael Pittman Junior and Josh Downs had huge

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: days for the Colts. Pittman finished with a season high

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirteen yards on six catches, and one

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: hundred and one of that total came in the first half,

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: as he had catches of thirty two and twenty eight

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: yards in the first two scoring drives. Downs match to

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: carew high in catches with eight for eighty two yards,

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: and it was his highest productive day since Week seven

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: of last year. And then after coming away with three

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: takeaways last week against the Bears, the Colts defense came

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: away with two more on Sunday and held off a

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: late rally by the Steelers to seal the win in

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. The Colts were depleted at some key

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: positions yesterday. How about rookie Tanner Bordolini, making his NFL

67
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: regular season debut, made his first start, filling in at

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: center for Ryan Kelly, who was dealing with the neck injury.

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: He played very well on Sunday, and so did cornerbacks

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Christy lonz and Samuel Woomeck, who stepped up for the

71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: injured Kenny Moore the second and the secondary and Dioa

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: Dangbo registered a sack and a half getting the start

73
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: for the injured Quity Pay. All around, it was a

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: great win for the Colts, who scored twenty seven points

75
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: on a team that hadn't allowed more than ten points

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: in the first three games of the season. And again

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: the Colts now two and two, just a game back

78
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: of the three to one Houston Texans in the AFC

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: South Promise. Coming up on segment two, Rick Venturi and

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights will be here later on in the show.

81
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: They're going to take your social media questions on x

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: using hashtag Colts Roundtable. You can use that same hashtag

83
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: right now to submit your thoughts and questions for head

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: coach Shane Steichen, who joins us here on this first

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: segment as he rolls into the studio. Now, this conversation

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: here's brought to you by Citizens Energy Group on Colts

87
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Roundtable Live. Coach Stike, and congrats on that big second

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: win of the season. You had great backup quarterback play,

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: the pass catcher stepped up in a big way. Key

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: starters were out on defense, but that side of the

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: ball made timely plays. How impressed were you with the

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: complimentary football the Colts displayed in Week four?

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great to see. Obviously, it

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: was a heck of opponent we were facing at home.

95
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: They were tough, they're physical, but we knew we had to,

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: you know, be tough and physical as well. And I

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: thought we started off great offensively, going down a play

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: drive to get the touchdown there obviously, go up and

99
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: then we got another one our defense at hell of

100
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: the job in first half and go up fourteen and

101
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: then we're up seventeen. It was it was a hell

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: of a hel of a battle, hell of a game,

103
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: and I was, I was really excited about the where

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: our guys played.

105
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, Before we go further, I know you

106
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier today with the media, but just

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: for the sake of our audience here, coach, any updates

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: on the guys that got banged up yesterday, namely Jonathan

109
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Taylor and Anthony Richardson.

110
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, no new updates.

111
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: JT's got an ankle sprain and Anthony's got the hip,

112
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: and we'll see how the week progresses with those two.

113
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: All right. With Anthony Richardson, he was off to a

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: blistering start. How impressed were you with the action that

115
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: he displayed before he had to exit the game?

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. It was exciting to watch. He was

117
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: on fire.

118
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: Obviously hit the big one to start the game to

119
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: pit there and then obviously hitting another big one to

120
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: pit and he was running around making plays left and right,

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 3: which got our offense off to that fast start.

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: It was really good to see that growth there.

123
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: Obviously, the injury uh sucked, you know, seeing him go

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: down there, but he was playing really good football.

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: And I know it was a small sample size on Sunday,

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: but it appeared like he was taking the next step

127
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: after being down on himself after you know, completing only

128
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: forty nine percent in the first three games of the season.

129
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he just went out there and let

130
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 3: it rip and shoot. He was throwing accurate balls, yeah,

131
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: all over the field. His feet were good in the pocket,

132
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: clean pocket for those guys. Obviously, the offensive line does

133
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: a hell of the job for him protecting him back there.

134
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: But he's making some big time throws for sure.

135
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: And for you when he goes down for the second

136
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: time and then you know for the rest of the

137
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: game that Joe Flacco is your quarterback for the remainder

138
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 2: of the game. What does that do to you? What's

139
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: going on in your head at that point?

140
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think obviously having a guy like Joe a

141
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: veteran presence, there is a comfort level there, you know,

142
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 3: with a veteran guy that's done it for a long time.

143
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: So he went in there, obviously and operated really well

144
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: and made some big time throws on third down for

145
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: us and moved the ball up and down offensively. So

146
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: it was good to have him and they're operating like

147
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: he did.

148
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 2: Does that completely change the approach and the play calling

149
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: and just the overall game plan at that point, I'm assuming.

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously you're gonna lose some of the quarterback run stuff.

151
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: The past game stuff obviously was in and obviously they

152
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: could both through the pass game, so the past game,

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: but obviously we had to just some run game stuff.

154
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: And I thought our coaches Jim, Bob and Tony and

155
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: Tommy and the rest of those guys.

156
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: DeAndre did a hell of a job on the.

157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: Sideline communicating things throughout the game that we had to

158
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: get going there.

159
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: Right in that second, third, fourth quarter.

160
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Joe comes in leads a touchdown drive when

161
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: that first drive that he's in the game complete sixteen passes,

162
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: two touchdowns for the game. And more importantly than anything,

163
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: probably is he doesn't turn the football over and he

164
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: doesn't get a whole lot of snaps. I'm assuming with

165
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: the first team offense, how is he able to do that?

166
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a big deal. The backup quarterback.

167
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: That's what's really hard about being a backup quarterback. You

168
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: don't get any reps with the ones during the week.

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: You know, you throw routes on air and you get

170
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: no reps, and obviously you know he gets thrown in

171
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: there and we throw pass with him the first time

172
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: and he comes off the bench and completes the ball

173
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: to j At.

174
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: And did a hell of a job.

175
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: But as a veteran presence, you know that's been doing

176
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: it for a long time. So when you got those

177
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: guys that have to come in and play, they've done it.

178
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: It helps tremendously.

179
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: And Shane sticking with us tonight Colts Round Table Live

180
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: here on ninety three five one oh seven five the Fan.

181
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: We talked about this at the outset with with all

182
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: the key contributors down and then you have guys like Dio, Dangbo, Tanner, Bordolini,

183
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: Chris Lamon, Samuel Wollmack on Sunday. I mean, what kind

184
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: of contributions did you get from those guys and how

185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: much do you preach the depth of this team and

186
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: how it came to focus yesterday?

187
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: Think every week, right, if your numbers called, you got

188
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: to be ready to go. And Tanner stepping in there

189
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: for Ryan was big obviously getting his first start there.

190
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: I thought he did a really good job. Dio always

191
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: does a hell of a job. I mean, these guys

192
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: just step up. And it's a credit to those guys

193
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: the work they're putting in during the week, and a

194
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: credit to the assistant coaches, you know, getting those guys

195
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: ready to go every week, because you never know when

196
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: your number is gonna get called, and you got to

197
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: be ready to play, all right.

198
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: So you sit here at two and two, last question

199
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: for me, what do you like about your team? What

200
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: do you like most about the way the team is

201
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: playing right now after a month and the k.

202
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: The biggest thing is we're playing together, you know, offense

203
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: and defense and special teams.

204
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. You want to play complimentary football,

205
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: and I think we've been doing a good.

206
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: Job of that, you know, the last two weeks. And

207
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: we got to maintain that energy and that focus week

208
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: in and week out.

209
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: Obviously, we got a huge division game coming up on

210
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: the road this.

211
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: Week against Jacksonville, which will be a big one, so

212
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: we got to put.

213
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: In the preparation. And that's what it comes down to

214
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: every week is preparation.

215
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: All right. We got time for a handful of questions

216
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: out there from the fans. Get those questions in and

217
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: submit them with hashtag Colts Roundtable on X Let's go

218
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: to Caine. He's up first, He says, coach, what will

219
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: you need to see out of Anthony Richardson this week

220
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: in practice to make a determination on his availability for Jacksonville?

221
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to make sure he's running around

222
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: at a good level, you know, make sure he's running

223
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: around throwing the football at a high level, his feet

224
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: are good, and obviously just you know, leaning on the

225
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: doctors and him and how he's feeling going forward.

226
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: So you're not ruling out the possibility of practicing as

227
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 2: early as Wednesday.

228
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll that goes all right?

229
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek is up next. Ar said after the game

230
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: that he doesn't think he needs to change his playing style.

231
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't think we should turn him into a pocket quarterback.

232
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: But what can we do, if anything, to alleviate the

233
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: hits that he takes and his injury probability.

234
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like we've talked about before, there's a

235
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 3: time and a place, right obviously, if he's going to

236
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: run the football, there's a time and a place where we.

237
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: Need to go and get it. You know, got to

238
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 4: have it situations.

239
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: But you know, there's a time and a place where

240
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: we need to get down to be smart, you know,

241
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: going forward.

242
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the defense. Nash is asking

243
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: about that. What can we do to shore up our

244
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: defense against some of these dual threat quarterbacks.

245
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, I think obviously you just got to be aware,

246
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 3: you know, the guys that run around making sure. Obviously

247
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: these guys that can run around are gonna make plays

248
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: on scramble plays and getting out of the pocket. So

249
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: we got to be aware of that, maintain our rush

250
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: lanes going forward, and then obviously haveing eyes on the

251
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: quarterback when he does get out of the pocket.

252
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: All right, One more on the defense from Rory EJ.

253
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: Speed keeps racking up the tackles. He's everywhere on defense.

254
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: How have you seen his game grow even from last season?

255
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: Man, he's playing really good football right now. We need

256
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: to keep that going.

257
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: But he's relentless to the football right now. He's all

258
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: over the place making plays left and right, coming off

259
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: the edge, made a few plays in the game coming

260
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: off the edge. Obviously made some big time tackles in

261
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: the box as well. Yeah, TFLs pressures. Obviously, there was

262
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: that big third and ten where him and Chrys Lamon's

263
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: got back in there for the sack, you know, which

264
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: was huge to see. But he's playing really good. We

265
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: got to continue that going.

266
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: All right, The Jaguars are up next. They're zero and four,

267
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: digging on them a little bit early today. They've they've

268
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: lost four, but three of their four losses are by

269
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: five points or less, so it's not like they're getting

270
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: blown out. They're still a pretty good football team. So

271
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: what are you telling your team about the Jaguars here

272
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: early on in the week.

273
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: That records don't matter in this league, early on especially,

274
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: I don't matter if you're a zero and four four

275
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: and oh, you got to show up and play this

276
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: good football team. They got a lot of talent over there,

277
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: and we got to be ready to go down there

278
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: and battle like crazy and go.

279
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880

Speaker 2: a victory Monday, as the Colts beat the Steelers twenty

328
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: seven to twenty four. Joe, what's going on with the

329
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: Wrights family here in the fall Cyo? Football is in

330
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: full swing, is it not?

331
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 5: The Colts got to win, and the Raiders, not the

332
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 5: Vegas Raiders, but the hard Lady Mount Carmel Raiders got

333
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: to win. And so it was a great, great football

334
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: Sunday overall. But I tell you what, I love this

335
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 5: weather as the calendar turns to October, that fall weather.

336
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 5: You feel the football in the air. And yeah, it

337
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 5: was great for the Colts to get another one at

338
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: home and get back to two and two here as

339
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: they head into this next next month of important football.

340
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about next month's going to be very

341
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: busy for the Colts. The frequent flyer miles four to

342
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: the next five away from Lucas Oil Stadium, Rick, how

343
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: are you this evening after that big win over the Steelers.

344
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what. For the Venturies, the last

345
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 6: few months have been a month adversity. But the one thing,

346
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 6: the one constant in my life over the last fifty

347
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 6: years is once I get into the football realm, once

348
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 6: I get into the x's and o's, once I get

349
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 6: the game day, you know, that is my world and

350
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 6: that really in my in many ways, is my distraction.

351
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 6: And yesterday was just wonderful. I mean, I that's two

352
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 6: really great Sundays in a row. Yesterday was I think

353
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 6: particularly great because not only did we beat a highly

354
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 6: ranked team, but you know we did it with you know,

355
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 6: with a lot of adversity, a lot of guys out.

356
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 6: It was amazing.

357
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: You sound like James Earl Jones just there.

358
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 6: You know.

359
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: The one constant through all the years has been baseball.

360
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 6: There you go, baseball y, Yeah.

361
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: Rick vent Urry with football like a steamroller, just going

362
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: through all the different generations. It's all about the tape.

363
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: It's all about football. Speaking of the tape, let's break

364
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: down the film, the study. You guys have both looked

365
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: at what the Colts did well and what still needs

366
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: improved on from the Week four game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

367
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: Let's all break it down. It's time now for the

368
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: tail of the tape, raising hell today.

369
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 5: Okay, go bang bang, play bang bang.

370
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Keep the hammer downright, keep talking to one another, MANU

371
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: to clean it up.

372
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 6: That's all.

373
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: Get ready, get ready?

374
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, all.

375
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Right, Joe, we begin with you per usual. The Colts

376
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: won twenty seven to twenty four, very close game. Anthony

377
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: Richardson started, got banged up with the hit pointer. Joe

378
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: Flacco comes in helps deliver the win for the Colts.

379
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior and Josh Downs they were both fabulous

380
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: in the passing game. Jonathan Taylor runs for eighty eight

381
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: before leaving the game in the fourth quarter. The defense

382
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: came home with two more takeaways. The clutch stop there

383
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: at the end of the fourth quarter. So Joe, give

384
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: us your tail the tape. After watching the game film

385
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: again this morning, what you got?

386
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, after I watch it this morning, Matt, it was

387
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: a really impressive win because Pittsburgh is a good football team.

388
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 5: Like coach mentioned, they were rolling in here hot with

389
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: a hot quarterback, and I thought, we just punched him

390
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 5: in the mouth. And so you know my seven big takeaways. One,

391
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: we started fast. We started fast, and we haven't done

392
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 5: that all year. It was great to see in all

393
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 5: three phases of the game. I thought we were more

394
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 5: physical than Pittsburgh was, and that's a team now and

395
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 5: a head coach their identity. They're going to come in

396
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 5: and try to play bullyball. And I thought the Colts

397
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: were the more physical team all day, which was great

398
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 5: to see. We had good quarterback play, as you mentioned,

399
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: you know, Richardson goes out, Flacco comes in. We didn't

400
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: miss a b plus two turnover differential against a team

401
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 5: that had only had one giveaway through their first three weeks.

402
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 5: You know, they were second in the NFL and turnover margin.

403
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 5: We were plus two. Your plus two, you're usually going

404
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: to win in the NFL. I thought our defense had

405
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: big plays, timely plays. I liked how and we'll get

406
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 5: into it. Brought some more blitz. We were bringing some

407
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 5: more six man blitz with a nickel and a linebacker.

408
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 5: I thought we got after him with some different looks. Defensively,

409
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: our offensive line dominated again. Our offensive line has been really,

410
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: really good. Shout out to Braden Smith. He's been up

411
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 5: and down so far this year, but we didn't hear TJ.

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 5: Watts name Harley at all yesterday. Good job, schematically, good

413
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: job by Braden one on one and then Bordolini for

414
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: his first start I thought played really well in there

415
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: at center. And then the last thing, Matt third downs.

416
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: We were eight to fifteen on third down, and I'm

417
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: calling it third downs because Josh downs. Four of those

418
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: conversions were to him, including the touchdown. He's almost unguardable,

419
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 5: as quick as he is and as good a route

420
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 5: runner as he is on third down, and that's probably

421
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 5: the biggest key of all eight For fifteen we have

422
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 5: been struggling on third down. That's how you possess those drives.

423
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 5: That's how you keep your offense on the field. And

424
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 5: it was getting out to seventeen nothing and then we

425
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: hung on there at the end. But really good game

426
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: against a really good football team.

427
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: All right, Rick, what does your tail of the tape

428
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: say after that big win over the Steelers.

429
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I don't remember the last time that

430
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 6: I've walked out of the stadium as elated. I was

431
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: about our overall franchise, and yes, I say franchise. Yesterday

432
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 6: certainly all hands on deck. I mean Payout, Buckner out,

433
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 6: more out, cornerbacks, Kelly out, Ben Richardson, then Taylor. I

434
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: mean it was literally all hands on deck. And the

435
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 6: reason I say franchise is one. I think you have

436
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: to give Chris Ballard credit here for giving the staff

437
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 6: enough depth to survive the situation, and maybe more importantly

438
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 6: for signing Joe Flacco in the offseason, because that was

439
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 6: a seamless transition that was already win number one really

440
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 6: for Joe. In that standpoint, I think number two, the

441
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 6: coaching staff certainly had the team ready. They were explosive

442
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: from the very beginning, technically and emotionally. There at any

443
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 6: question about it. And I thought stike In yesterday proved

444
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: if it needed to be proved, what a great offensive

445
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 6: strategist he is, an elite offensive coach. Twenty seven points

446
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 6: on that number one defense scoring. I think number two

447
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 6: the ability to establish that tempo and that tone in

448
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 6: the beginning of the game. The seventeen points, seventeen to nothing,

449
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 6: Doug a hole for Pittsburgh, put their defense on heels

450
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 6: and they never really recovered. You know. Number three, I

451
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: think they he schematically and I will give Braden some credit,

452
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 6: but schematically they did a great job. PJ. Watt was neutralized.

453
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 6: That's what I call about game specifics. Their guy that

454
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: could beat you didn't beat you. And then more importantly,

455
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 6: and I think you have had to have coached and

456
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: calls games to understand this. He made a seamless transition

457
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 6: from the NCAA offense with Richardson to a classic NFL

458
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: offense with Flaco without losing a beat, seamless. So you know,

459
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 6: I thought that was critical. My head goes off most

460
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: of all to the players, I mean, net from our stars,

461
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 6: you know, the Pittmans, the Downs, you know, all guys

462
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 6: that we expect to be good, you know, Dio and

463
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 6: all the defensive guys. You know, we expect that out

464
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 6: of them, and we got it. Our stars per played well,

465
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 6: but the others really made a difference. They stepped up.

466
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 6: I mean, Flacco stepped up, Bordelities stepped up, cross Womack,

467
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 6: even Goatsis I mean came in there off the street.

468
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 6: And those guys really stand up. And in that sense,

469
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 6: you know, we should we should really really be proud.

470
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 6: In a sense, we did exactly what we had to

471
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 6: do to win. You know, we scored twenty seven points,

472
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: We took Watt out of the game, we stopped Harris cold,

473
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 6: and we got huge turnovers. Two you know, two, it's

474
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 6: two in the box score, but it's really four because

475
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 6: two fourth down stops are changes of possession. So you know, again,

476
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 6: I was really proud of this team, A really happy

477
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 6: with his team. You know, we'll talk about it after

478
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 6: looking at the tape. There are some realities that are

479
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 6: there that must must be changed. But I just felt like,

480
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 6: you know, and I think I said it to you

481
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 6: on the way out. I just felt like this was

482
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 6: the team that we thought we were in Grand Park.

483
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 6: You know, we got a terrible start, but you know,

484
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 6: in the last two weeks, I think we're playing very

485
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 6: much like the team we thought we were.

486
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: Hey, Colts fans, remember the weather authorities are Fox fifty

Speaker 2: Venturi is here as well with Joe Wrightz. I'm Matt

509
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: Taylor and this segment is called is it What it Is? Right?

510
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 2: It's a common phrase nowadays to hear the term it

511
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: is what it is? It often refers to a situation

512
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: that is unchangeable or something that must be accepted. It

513
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 2: can be used to describe a frustrating or a challenging

514
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: situation such as a lost game or a bad call.

515
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: But let's talk about anthem any Richardson's injury tendencies and

516
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: also the Colts defense kind of within that context here.

517
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: So Anthony Richardson fell as he started eight games for

518
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: the Colts and in that time he's been unable to

519
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: finish half of those games, so four of the eight

520
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: and as of right now, a lot of people are

521
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 2: wondering if Richardson will always have these minor or major

522
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: injuries that keep him out of the lineup. And so

523
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: far in his brief career he's dealt with a knee,

524
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 2: a concussion, a shoulder that needed surgery, now dealing with

525
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: a hip injury. And the question is will this keep happening?

526
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: Because ar knows no other way to play and also

527
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: because the Colts they didn't draft him with his speed

528
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: and his athleticism just to have him stand in the

529
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: pocket and be just a throwing quarterback. So Joe Richardson's

530
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: playing style leading to inevitable injuries is that and is

531
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: what it is? Situation? If that makes sense.

532
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the hard part, Matt is your eight

533
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 5: games into his career and the history would say, yeah,

534
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 5: this is how it's going to be, just because of

535
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: the multitude of different injuries that he's had so far

536
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 5: through these first eight games. Now we'll see how serious

537
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: the hip injury is. You know, he did come back

538
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: into the game and took another, you know, semi big

539
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 5: hit and then they pulled him out, and you know,

540
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 5: wonder is it a combination of they had a seventeen

541
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: to nothing lead, Flakka was playing well, you trust your quarterback,

542
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: you know, get through the game, get the win, and

543
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 5: then reevaluate everything on Monday. But I think for Richardson,

544
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 5: the tough part is, you know, you look at Lamar Jackson,

545
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 5: who's a running quarterback so to speak, but he's a

546
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: different type of runner than Richardson, and that Richardson's more

547
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: of a power type runner, and he really gets that

548
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 5: head down and it seems like he likes and seeks contact.

549
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 5: So to me, it's a combination of continuing to try

550
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: to get him not to take the big hit, especially

551
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 5: if it's second and four in the first quarter, is

552
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: different than second and goal with four seconds left in

553
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 5: the game on the line, and understanding those different types

554
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: of situational football. But I do agree with you, Matt

555
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 5: and that you know you brought him here because of

556
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 5: the threat that he is. Jonathan Taylor had two point

557
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: zero more yards per carry when Richardson's in the game

558
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 5: because you always have that threat of ar taking the

559
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: ball and run around the end. So it's kind of

560
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: a catch twenty two with his playing style. Let's hope

561
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 5: that this hip injury is a minor situation, but I

562
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 5: think it's a little bit TBD, and I think hopefully

563
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 5: he continues as he matures and he gets better in

564
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: the passing game too. We'll learn a little bit more

565
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 5: not to try to always, you know, get that extra

566
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: yard or two and take that big hit.

567
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I think my standard statement today is slide, Richie. Slide.

568
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 6: You're going to have to learn how to slide. You

569
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 6: know that a lot of the same things happened to

570
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 6: Andrew because there were some similarities when Andrew got an

571
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 6: open space in that this is problematic. I mean, the

572
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 6: evidence is overwhelming right now that it is what it is,

573
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 6: you know, certainly for now now. But you know, as

574
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 6: we've all said, you know you brought him, you drafted

575
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 6: him fourth in the whole world because you wanted a

576
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 6: guy that affected the game and you saw it. I

577
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 6: mean the beginning of the game. He just absolutely wrecked

578
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 6: an elite defense, both throwing and running. I mean, he

579
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 6: just he absolutely took them apart, you know, until he

580
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 6: got hurt. So, I mean, that's the dilemma, and this

581
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 6: is the franchise issue going forward is can they do it?

582
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 6: I totally agree with Joe. The biggest problem we have

583
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 6: with Ar five is that he runs like a fullback.

584
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 6: He you know, you know where you know, if you

585
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 6: want to talk about Lamar, Lamar is a point guard.

586
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: You know, Anthony, He's just a wrecker, you know. But

587
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: you're not going to be able to do that. You're

588
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 6: gonna because you end up taking so many different kinds

589
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 6: of hits when you don't go down. And you know,

590
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 6: it's very hard for a coach to say, you know,

591
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 6: I've been I've totally said that all along. Is that

592
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: we have to use him judiciously. And you know, you

593
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 6: want to use him on a key fourth and one,

594
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 6: you want to use him in the red zone. But

595
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 6: you know what the reason you jumped on the Steelers

596
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 6: is because you used him right off the bat from

597
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 6: the jump. I mean, that's why you went down and

598
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 6: scored so quick when it's all said and done, along

599
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 6: with an explosive to Pittman. But really his running ability

600
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: changed the whole thing. So I'm not sure. I mean,

601
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 6: he one thing he's got to have to learn that

602
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 6: the ground, the ground in the sidelines are his best friend,

603
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 6: and you know, hopefully he has that in him. It's

604
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 6: very I think it's very hard to take away a

605
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 6: guy who has certain type of instincts. Instincts are right,

606
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 6: you know, they like they always said, how are you

607
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 6: going to prove his throwing and somebody said that throwing

608
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 6: motion is going to be like the first time the

609
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 6: kid picked up a rock and throw it. I mean,

610
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 6: it's just hard to break instincts.

611
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we're all, all three of us are are

612
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: football guys, and so Joe I asked this question. I'm

613
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: not I'm not trying to be funny because you just

614
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: said it, and Rick you complimented it as well. What

615
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: can he do to change up his running style that

616
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: makes him less susceptible to these hits and these injuries,

617
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, Can you do anything?

618
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: I think the biggest one is two fold for me.

619
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 5: One understanding the situation and how important is it for

620
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: him to put his head down and lower his shoulder

621
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 5: and try to get some extra yards and knowing that

622
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: that's a case by case basis, but coach mentioned it

623
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 5: slide when you go feet first, all of a sudden

624
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 5: you're leading with your feet. The defense knows they have

625
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 5: to stay off you, and now you're not taking the

626
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 5: shots to the shoulder, to the hip like he just did,

627
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 5: et cetera. So I really think you get him out

628
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 5: there and he's running, I know there's some contact, you slide,

629
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 5: you're giving up three or four yards maybe or maybe

630
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: it's only one in two, but you're living to fight

631
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: another day. And to me, that's the biggest thing that

632
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: he's got to think about when he's running. Time, score

633
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: situation and then go feed first.

634
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: That's a lot to I'm just playing Devil's advocate. I

635
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: completely agree with you, Joe, But Rick, that's a lot

636
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: to con cut in a short amount of time when

637
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: you're out there just trying to make football plays and

638
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: do the best you can for your football team when

639
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: you got the football on your hand.

640
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, my biggest worry is, you know, we praised him

641
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 6: up and down for running over the guy at Texas, right,

642
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 6: but it's not sustainable. But the problem I have with

643
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 6: him he is a downhill player. He is not a

644
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 6: shaken bake guy, you know, like a Lamar, like a Murray,

645
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 6: like some of those guys are shaking bake guys. He's

646
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 6: a down hill guy. And so you know, I'm just

647
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I'm hoping against hope that we can somehow,

648
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 6: you know, somehow. I guess the word would be tweaked

649
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 6: because you're not gonna change that instinct. I'm just telling you,

650
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 6: I coach too long, You're not gonna change exactly.

651
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick Ventry there, Joe writes along as well. I'm

652
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor, as is Colts Round Table Live tonight. We're

653
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: playing it is what it is. Let's go to the defense.

654
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: The defense yesterday came away with two more takeaways four sacks,

655
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: but they still allowed the Steelers to gain over four

656
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: hundre yards of offense. Last week, the Colts came home

657
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: with three takeaways against the Bears, but Caleb Williams and

658
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: company still put up three to ninety five of total yards,

659
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: and through a month, Rick, the Colts are giving up

660
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: three and ninety nine yards per game on average, they've

661
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: allowed an opposing receiver to go over one hundred yards

662
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: in each of those games. So as it relates here

663
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: to the Colts defense, are we just going to have

664
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: to live with the defense making timely plays while also

665
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: giving up you know, big games and big stats. Is

666
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: that and is what it is? Situation here going forward?

667
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it is what it is. I think

668
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 6: he can get better. I really like the way you

669
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 6: program this today because I think what's really important and

670
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 6: I think it's particularly when you win. Like I started

671
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: this show with, I was so elated, and I was

672
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 6: really elated, not so much after I watched the tape,

673
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 6: to be honest with you, because a good staff and

674
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 6: a good team has to look at a win and say,

675
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 6: did we win because of the defense or we win

676
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 6: in spite of the defense. Same way with offense, any

677
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 6: any element of your team, you always have to make

678
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 6: that statement. And four hundred yards a game to two

679
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: of the worst teams, two bottom eight offenses, I mean,

680
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 6: I mean Field said at Pittsburgh record, no quarterback has

681
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 6: ever thrown for three hundred and rush for fifty plus.

682
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the Bears, these teams are in

683
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 6: the bottom eight. Thank god. We're in the valley of

684
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 6: bad offenses, including Jaguars, including the Titans, in including Miami.

685
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: We have a five game stretches in the valley, which

686
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: will help us. But those volumes of yardage are not

687
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: sustainable for winning, and turnovers are great, and that's exactly

688
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 6: why we won it. You know, in the first two

689
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 6: games we got one turnover, one takeaway. In the last

690
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: two games we got five, and you know, those that

691
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 6: erase some of those ills. But you're living on the edge,

692
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 6: like I said, Pittsburgh was living on the edge coming in.

693
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 6: You live on the edge with that. Now on the

694
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 6: other side of it, we did a lot of really

695
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 6: good thing, some things that are really improving. Number one,

696
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 6: we stopped Harris Cold won nine. That was a number

697
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 6: one must We won. We won the third down situation.

698
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 6: They were six for fifteen. We had the cross stripped

699
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: and the Laman strip plus the two fourth down stops.

700
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 6: You know, so when you're doing that, you're really good.

701
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: And particularly that fourth down stop early, you know, by

702
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 6: Franklin was tremendous. So you know, I mean, you know,

703
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 6: I think this, you know, the run defense is really improving.

704
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 6: It went terrible for two weeks. But we're up to

705
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 6: like I think, number thirteen now in yards per So

706
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 6: we're turning that around, and I knew we would. I

707
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: still think we can get better, and I think we

708
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 6: can get better this way. Number one, I think we

709
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 6: got to play even more ninety and ninety eight together

710
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 6: Davis and Grover. Anytime when when they when they went

711
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 6: on that drive with Patterson, it was it was Brian

712
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 6: in there. It wasn't those two guys, and that's when

713
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 6: they ran the ball down our throat. I think the

714
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: key is really going to be pass defense at the end.

715
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 6: That's still to me where we're really shaky. We give

716
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 6: up way too much pass yardage. We're I think twenty seventh,

717
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 6: and we need a lot more tight matchup underneath. Too

718
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 6: many still, you know, still things like that, more press,

719
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 6: you know, more disruption. And I think the next thing

720
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 6: is I think Gus is trying to be more dynamic.

721
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 6: There was more pressure. He brought more, but he's got

722
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 6: to bring a lot more, particularly when you're playing a

723
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 6: guy like Fields Fields. We did not control Fields. Fields

724
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 6: controlled us and almost won the game with a lot

725
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 6: of improvisation. And it's very difficult to stay in a

726
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 6: four man rush all day against a guy like Fields.

727
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 6: It's not like a stationary guy. And so I think

728
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 6: that when you play a guy like Fields, thirty percent

729
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 6: may not be enough in terms of pressure. It may

730
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 6: have to be fifty percent. And I'm just saying those things,

731
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 6: but I think really and truly those things can get better.

732
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 6: They can't improve. There are things that just schematically can improve.

733
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and a dovetail off. Coach. I know you shared

734
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 5: with me once every turnover is like fifty yards that

735
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 5: you're giving back in the stats, and that's huge. But

736
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 5: I agree. Can you count on getting two three turnovers

737
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: every week? Hopefully? But we got to firm some things up.

738
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 5: A couple other things I like. I really like ninety

739
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 5: and ninety eight together, like you said in Dio at

740
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 5: the end, a heavier end, especially on first down. I

741
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 5: think that's a key to US Russian, even when Quiddy

742
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 5: comes back. I wouldn't mind seeing those three guys on

743
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 5: the field together on first down to stop the run,

744
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 5: secure the edge. I think our linebacking play has been

745
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 5: tremendous the last two weeks after a shaky start. I mean,

746
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 5: Franklin in Speed were downhill all game. That first early

747
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 5: in the game when Speed just came and just filled

748
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 5: the hole. I mean, as quick and powerful as I've

749
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 5: ever seen. Shout out to EJ. Speed. Twelve solo tackles Matt.

750
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 5: So those guys and then the cross play was just tremendous.

751
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 5: I mean, you were going down there, it was going

752
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 5: to be seventeen to seven. He punches that out, we

753
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 5: give him a field goal, and now all of a sudden,

754
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 5: you're going into half up fourteen instead of ten. That

755
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 5: was just a tremendous individual effort. So I really like

756
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 5: our guys. I think overall, we're playing with the fire,

757
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 5: we're playing with the intensity, and we're playing with the physicality.

758
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: Like we thought this team was going to be out

759
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 5: of Grand Park. It took us a couple weeks to

760
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 5: ramp up to it, but that's been really good to see.

761
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. That's Joe Wrights along with Rick Venturi.

762
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: That's it is what it is. I'm Matt Taylor. You

763
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: know you hear that phrase all the time these days,

764
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: So we put that to good use as it relates

765
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: to the Colts. That segment was brought to you by

792
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm met Taylor. Let's go to Lucas. He's up first tonight.

793
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: He's asking and he's posing this to Rick. He's saying,

794
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 2: in what ways, Rick, can we win and stay on course?

795
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: If Joe Flacco has to start this week against the

796
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars, well, you.

797
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 6: Saw a little bit of a preview of it during

798
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 6: the game. As I said, I really credit Shane from

799
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 6: going from an NCAA driven quarterback driven to a classic

800
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 6: NFL with Flacco I think number one, And this was

801
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 6: evident Sunday. We did this regardless. But we have to

802
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 6: now have, if Flaco's a quarterback, a much more versatile

803
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 6: running game for our tailback because we now become tailback centric,

804
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 6: certainly in the running game. So you know, hopefully JT

805
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 6: is okay because JT would be huge here. You know,

806
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 6: I hate to lose both of those guys because of

807
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 6: JT's superiority. But regardless whether it's Sermon or whoever it is,

808
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 6: now we got to really have that diverse running game. Whams, powers, toss, cracks,

809
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 6: you know, the counter ots. We've got to do all

810
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 6: those different things to keep that running game going because

811
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 6: we're not going to threaten them with a quarterback run.

812
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 6: Number two, we have to establish edge versatility a different way.

813
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 6: Quick screens, to tailor quick screens to our outside receivers,

814
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 6: particularly downs on the on the catch and run, crack tosses,

815
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 6: and then gadget games. You saw Mitchell come around for

816
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 6: a ten yard game. You know, we got downs that

817
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 6: can do that speed sweeps. What you have to do

818
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 6: very much like Green Bay did to us. When you

819
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 6: don't have a running quarterback to threaten the edge, you

820
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 6: need to do it different ways. I think Number three

821
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 6: and this may will actually be better at very quick

822
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 6: rhythm passing on early downs. You know, downs and Pittman

823
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 6: just owned the inside of the field. They had fourteen catches,

824
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 6: almost every one of them was on the inside of

825
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 6: the field, and then with the coverage of them, eventually

826
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 6: ogle Tree ended up in the inside with the touchdown

827
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 6: pass because that'll open up. And what you got with

828
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 6: Flacco is a guy that has pinpoint NFL accuracy, Sundy acuracy.

829
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 6: It is an average. It isn't above average, it's pinpoint.

830
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 6: So I think that'll be part of it. Number four

831
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 6: is and this is going to be the most critical

832
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 6: thing of all blitz protection, Matt, because what you're gonna

833
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 6: do with Flacco as a defensive coordinator, once he becomes

834
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 6: the guy, you're coming after him. You know he doesn't

835
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 6: have the mobility to the outside, So what you're gonna

836
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 6: do is you're really really gonna come after him. So

837
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 6: I would say the key then at the end of

838
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: the day, blitz protection.

839
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: All right, Rick Venti there on the mailbag segment, we

840
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 2: call this the Xbox get those in using hashtag colts

841
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: roundtable on x Let's go to Levi's question. This is

842
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 2: for Joe Wrights asking can you give some love to

843
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: the backup players who came up big on Sunday Bordolini

844
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 2: wolmack Lemon's why did those guys have such great games

845
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: with little preparation?

846
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 5: Matt. I think that's directly related to what Rick was

847
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 5: talking about earlier about that's your program and injuries happened

848
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 5: in the NFL. We've been snaked bit, probably a little

849
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 5: bit more than average early on. Other teams are dealing

850
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 5: with it too, But can your twos and then even

851
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 5: sometimes your threes the guys that come up and play

852
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 5: to the standard that you set. And it's the old phrase,

853
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 5: next man up, but the standard is the standard.

854
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 6: You know.

855
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 5: When I was with the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh said,

856
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 5: every guy that we bring in here, we're evaluating, can

857
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 5: this guy help us win a world championship, whether you're

858
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 5: on the fifty three, whether you're on the practice squad,

859
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 5: And so Womack and Lamman's I mean, you know, Womack

860
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 5: signed from San Francisco a month ago, Bordelini his first start,

861
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: and there's all these guys, but they played up to

862
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 5: the standard. And I think that's a credit to them individually.

863
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 5: It's a credit to the depth of the that Chris

864
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 5: Ballard is built. And then also this is probably gets lost,

865
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 5: it's a credit to the other veterans in the team.

866
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 5: Given those guys confidence, I'm sure they're helping them out

867
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 5: more in the week with film study. The veterans are

868
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 5: responsible for guys that are coming up and making their

869
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 5: first start or their thrust into action, making sure they're

870
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 5: ready to go, they're confident, they know what they're doing,

871
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 5: and then also playing really well themselves to help them out.

872
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 5: And I think collectively the Colts just did a really

873
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 5: good job. The depth of our team and roster won

874
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 5: that football game, and that's a great thing to see, no.

875
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: Doubt about that. All Right, that's the Xbox segment tonight

876
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,600

879
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 2: next the Jaguars. They're zero to four. Another tough loss

880
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: to the Texans on Sunday, but they always seem to

881
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: play their best against the Indianapolis Colts. So we'll preview

882
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: the week five matchup down in North Florida. Get some

897
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: the closing arguments with Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights their

898
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 2: final thoughts on that Week four win over the Steelers. Joe,

899
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: we begin with you first big time win for the

900
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: Colts on Sunday, But like we've talked about, now, some

901
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 2: adversity here with the schedule four to the next five

902
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: on the road, back to back road games in the

903
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: AFC South, starting with the Jaguars coming up this, Joe.

904
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: This is if you look at it after a two

905
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: and two start, when the Colts now are squarely in

906
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: the mix in the AFC. This is a crucial part

907
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: of the schedule if the Colts have playoff aspirations this season.

908
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 5: No question three Division games on the road in October.

909
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 5: You got the Dolphins, you know, probably not going to

910
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 5: see two, which is favorable for the Colts. But Matt,

911
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 5: right now the NFL is talking about the Jaguars are

912
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 5: zero and four. They're no good. You know, there's questions

913
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 5: this morning. You know, it's Peterson on the hot seat

914
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 5: down there. Here's the reality. The Colts have not won

915
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 5: in Jacksonville in nine years. And I remember it. We

916
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 5: had a sixteen game division winning streak in twenty fifteen.

917
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,959
Speaker 5: We go down there in December, we're up thirteen to three.

918
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 5: We're getting ready to drive in and score again and

919
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 5: probably get our seventeenth win and keep our winning streak

920
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 5: in Jacksonville. Andre Branch comes around, stripsack, they take it

921
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 5: to the house. They end up beating US fifty one

922
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 5: to sixteen. I mean, the wheels just came off the bus.

923
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 5: But since then, the Jags have won nine straight against

924
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 5: the Colts in Jacksonville outscore on US two hundred and

925
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 5: sixty four. Think about one hundred and forty five point

926
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 5: differential over nine years, including two shutouts. So for whatever reason,

927
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 5: and I'm taking ownership of that because we started it

928
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 5: back in twenty fifteen. We have not played well there.

929
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 5: It had even been close to playing well down there

930
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 5: in Jacksonville. Now, and what scares me, Matt is they're

931
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 5: zero to four and I know they haven't played well

932
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 5: so far, but a desperate dog is a hungry dog.

933
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 5: And you know that they're back into a corner right

934
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 5: down there. So it's not a great time to play Jacksonville.

935
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 5: But Coach, I know you've probably watched more tape than

936
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 5: I have. What are you seeing? Why have they struggled

937
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 5: so much early on this season?

938
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 6: Well, they haven't played well and as you said, Duval

939
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 6: County has been our downfall, no question about it. And

940
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 6: even last year it was you know, if there was

941
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 6: ever if there was ever a trap game for a

942
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 6: team that's two and two, it's this week in Jacksonville. Jacksonville,

943
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 6: they scare me because they're not playing well, they're underachieving.

944
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 6: They have much better talent than the zero four. They

945
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 6: have a quarterback who is really struggling. He doesn't even

946
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 6: have an eighty passer rating, but he's killed us. I mean,

947
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 6: he's got his generational ability, so when you're going in there,

948
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 6: you know what he's capable of. They've got guys like Alan,

949
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 6: you know, Heinz Allen and Walker and Robertson, Harris and

950
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 6: Cisco and Tann I mean, Kirk. Those guys have been

951
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 6: Colts killers, so they're they're all still there. And again,

952
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 6: the thing that I worry, you know, most about, is

953
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 6: two things. A team that is underachieving, because the bad

954
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 6: news is they're capable of being a good team and

955
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 6: a team that's in desperation. And they have both of

956
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 6: those going right now. So you know it is going

957
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 6: to take our a game. We're going to have to,

958
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 6: you know, spit this wonderful elation out very quickly and

959
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 6: get our hats on right, you know for Jacksonville.

960
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: No doubt. All right, that's all the time. We've got

961
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: well done as always, Rick von Terry, Joe Wright's great
