1 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Welcome into instant reaction in Indianapolis Colts podcast, I'm Casey Value, 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: joined by Ring of honor wide receiver Bill Brooks Built. 3 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: The Colts get yet another home victory. They defeat the 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals thirty one twenty seven. They improved to five 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: and one. It's the fifth time this year they've scored 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: at least twenty nine points. Another impt. It's one of 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: those where today they did something a little different. It 8 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: wasn't a blowout. It was back and forth, and the 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: Colts proved today that they can hang in those games 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: and get a victory in those one scores. 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, it's a close game. 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 3: You know, they're gonna be different type of games throughout 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: the National Football League. You know last week was a blowout. 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: This week it was tight. They had a game against 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 3: Denver that was tight. Yeah, So they're gonna be different 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: type of games in the National Football League. 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: Is great if you could win each and every way right. 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: Possible the National Football League, because you know what, you're 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: gonna need all the guys, and it's gone to take 20 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: the defense one game, maybe an offense another game, special 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: teams another game, but everyone has to contribute out there, 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: and the Coats did that today and they got the win. 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: And it's a big win that at home. To back 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: up the win from last week, right and to piggyback 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: off that and get a win this week was big 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: for the Colts. 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean the home protecting home field is 28 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: always something that is, you know, essentially preached, whether it's 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, from the top all the way down, you 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: want to win your home games, and that's what the 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Colts have done a really good job of this year. 32 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Another home victory. I think it's their actually their sixth 33 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: home victory in a row if you go back to 34 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: last year. So they're doing what they're supposed to do 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: inside Lucas Oil Stadium I mentioned, improves them down to 36 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: five and one. They sit all by themselves atop the 37 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: AFC South that the Jacksonville Jaguars lost, So five and 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: one you head out to LA next week to take 39 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: on the Chargers. But we're gonna break down this game 40 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: here against the Arizona Cardinals. Another good victory for the 41 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Colts because every victory is a good victory and we 42 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: typically kind of highlighted in points yep, and I think 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: it's only fitting we start with Daniel Jones. You know, 44 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: another impressive performance out of DJ, you know, Indiana Jones, 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him, completing seventy three percent 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: of his passes again, yep, he did have the one interception, 47 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: but he threw two touchdown passes, ran one in. I mean, 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: he just continues to impress. I mean, we talked about 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: this last week, and I feel like the week before 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: and the week before that that at some point we're 51 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: going to start off this not talking about Daniel Jones, 52 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: but he just continues to be so steady and consistent 53 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: with his play. It's hard not to just lead off 54 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: by talking about Yet again, Daniel Jones did everything that 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: he needed to do to keep the offense in check 56 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: and moving the football down the field. 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: Just steady, Yes, steady, Eddie. I mean, that's what you 58 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 3: want from from Daniel Jones. He's been that thus far 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: this season. Yes, the one throw I'm sure you wish 60 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: he had back that he threw him. He was trying 61 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: to throw to MILEI Cox and the guy made a 62 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: great play, yeah, picking it off. But other than that, 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: I mean, and you got the ball to seven. I 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: think seven different guys brought passes today and that's what 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: you want to do. Spread the ball around. And from 66 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: an offensive standpoint, that's what you want. You want to 67 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 3: spread the ball around because it keeps the defense off 68 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: balance and it keeps your guys a tune into the 69 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: game because they're going to be part of the game 70 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: some way, somehow in the game. You know, Tyler Warren 71 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: gets some plays, and Josh down gets some plays, and 72 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: you know, get Pittman get some plays, and you ask 73 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 3: other guys like Pierce got some plays, j t gets 74 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: some plays as far as throwing the ball to him, 75 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones is just doing what they ask of him. 76 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: Put the ball in the playmaker's hands, let them make plays, 77 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: and put the team in good positions to be successful 78 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: on plays. Plays are the call that might not look 79 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: that great at first. He can check out of it, 80 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: put the guys in a good position to make plays. 81 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: Check out some change some blocking schemes up front if 82 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: it doesn't look like that blocking scheme is gonna work 83 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: for that play. 84 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: And he's doing. 85 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: All the right things and that comes from him preparing 86 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: during the week and putting in the time and understanding, Okay, 87 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: this is what the coach they're trying to do. This 88 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: is what the opponents are trying to do against us, 89 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: but this will work against that defense, and this will 90 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: work against that coverage over there. So he's doing a 91 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: nice job keeping everyone involved, keeping everyone happy, so to speak, 92 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: everyone getting the ball and being a proud of it. 93 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: And that's what you want from a quarterbacks, the one 94 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: that's a leader on the team, and he's doing a 95 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: great job of it thus far. 96 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: So you brought me to a point that I was 97 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: going to bring up after I talked about Jonathan Taylor. 98 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: But we'll just flip it. Okay, nobody knows the rundown. 99 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: It's me. 100 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: I know the rundown. I know it, So don't act 101 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: like you know whatever. But you bring up a really 102 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: good point when you talk about spreading the football around. 103 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 1: So today we saw both Tyler Warren and Josh Downs 104 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: lead the team with six catches each. They both had 105 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown, but seven total players caught a pass today. 106 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Multiple guys had multiple receptions. It makes it so incredibly 107 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: difficult for the defense because you know, one thing that 108 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: I have started to notice about this team is weekend week, 109 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: you almost don't know who's gonna be the guy. You know, 110 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen Pitt have a couple of games. 111 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Warren's been pretty steady. He has been, you know, four 112 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: to six catches for about forty five to seventy yards 113 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: it seems like every week. So he has been essentially 114 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: that every single week. But outside of that, like you 115 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: saw Pierce have some flashes today, I think Josh Downs 116 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: had arguably his best game of the year. And if 117 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: you look at it, it's six catches for forty two 118 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, but it's when those catches come 119 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: where those yards are coming. Bill, you played the position 120 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: at such a high level. Talk about the how important 121 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: it is to have a guy like Josh Downs, because yeah, 122 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: it's not six catches for one hundred and twenty yards 123 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: in a touchdown, it's six catches for forty two yards, 124 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: but it's on third downs, yes, and it's just so 125 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: important what he is able to do in that touchdown catch. 126 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: He knew he was gonna take a pop. 127 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: And he took one. 128 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: He took one, he stayed in, caught the ball able 129 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: to get a touchdown. I mean, Josh Downs is like 130 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: the un sung hero for this Colts offense. 131 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: And teams need guys like Josh down. Yeah, a guy 132 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: that is very durable. I mean you look at the 133 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: hit he took and got back up, so he's durable. 134 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: But he's also a guy that understands defenses. When he's 135 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: running out there, he knows his zone a man, he 136 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: knows where the holes are, he knows where they throw 137 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: down in his zone, so he won't run through the 138 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: zone and get popped, you know. So he's a guy 139 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: that can beat man the man coverage. He's fast enough, 140 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: he's quick enough, and you need guys like that's willing 141 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: to go over the middle, make those tough catches and 142 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: be the guy out there. So he's doing a nice 143 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: job of making sure, you know what, the Coats stay 144 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: on track in regards to getting those first downs on 145 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: third down, so they keep on moving the ball down 146 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: the field and making those big plays. I remember played 147 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: last week where he cut the ball short of sticks 148 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: and two guys are about to converge on him. Yeah, 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: he made one guy miss, spind around another guy and 150 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: got a first down. 151 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: I want to see it was like a third and twelve. Yeah, yeah, 152 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: he got thirteen. 153 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: Yes, And those ohs are big plays because that keeps 154 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: the driver alive, gives you an opportunity to score a touchdown, 155 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: move the ball down field, and it's great that you 156 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: know what, that Daniel Jones can depend on him and 157 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: know that, Okay, this guy's gonna be in the right 158 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: spot at the right time. He's going to catch the ball, 159 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: he's gonna run the right route, he's gonna be open. 160 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: And it gives the quarterback some sense of security knowing that, hey, 161 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: this guy's gonna be where he's supposed to be. And 162 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: Josh Downson is doing a nice job and he's actually 163 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 3: has done it from the day he got here first, 164 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: when he got here as a rookie, he've been doing 165 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: it ever since. And it's great to see that, you 166 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 3: know what, that Daniel Jones is getting him the ball. 167 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: But it's also spreading the ball around, as you said, Casey, 168 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: and I think that's such a big thing. It keeps 169 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: the players happy and it keeps the players in tune 170 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: knowing that, hey, you know what, I might get the ball. 171 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: You never know what's going to happen. And a lot 172 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: of times during the week of practice, yeah, it might 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: be the way the game plan situated. One player, one 174 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: receiver might be getting a lot of balls, but you 175 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: never know what's gonna happen in the game. Yeah, and 176 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: I had coach to always tell me everybody running, everybody 177 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: alert because you never know what's going to happen where 178 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: you know what that first read might be taken away, 179 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: or that second lead might be taken away, but that 180 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: third read, you make sure that you're running hard to 181 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: get open because if you're not, you're lollygagging. 182 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: The ball might come hit you in the back of 183 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: the head. 184 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: So make sure you run your route to win, no 185 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: matter if you're the first, a second, or your third 186 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: option for the quarterback. 187 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about the progression, and we 188 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: have seen Daniel Jones. It's been impressive that he knows 189 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: at times, okay, first options not there, second option is 190 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: not there, the pass rush is getting to me. I 191 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: got to stay in and make and deliver. And I 192 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: saw I thought we saw that a lot today where 193 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: they were a handful of plays where clearly the first section, 194 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: second option were not available. He stuck in, took a hit, 195 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: but was still able to deliver a pass. It's been 196 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: very impressive what he had to do. 197 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: I couldn't play quarterback. I just couldn't play a quarterback 198 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: back there. 199 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: You know, he stood in sometimes and he's taking a hit, 200 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: but he delivered the ball to the receiver and they 201 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: got the ball. But he's doing that to the last 202 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: possible second and took a hit, So I'm sure he'll 203 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: be sore. But you know what, that's what good quarterbacks do. 204 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: They stay in there and take it on a chance 205 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: for the team and get the ball out there to 206 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: the guys so they can get a first down, so 207 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: he can make another play and keep the drive alive. 208 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: Now, one guy who I mentioned, we talk about Jonathan Taylor, 209 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: So might as well go ahead and throw him into 210 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: this because here we go again. One hundred and twenty 211 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown. It's his third one hundred 212 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: yard game of the season. He now has seven touchdowns 213 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: on the ground. And one of the guys in the 214 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: locker room who has seen Jonathan Taylor grow up in 215 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: this league is Zayre Franklin, and Zaire Franklin said today 216 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: inside the Colts locker room, this is the best that 217 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor has ever looked. And you know it's been 218 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: impressive because at this point in the year, listen to 219 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: these numbers, Bill, he has six hundred and three rushing 220 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, and we have 221 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: seen him be a lot more effective in the passing 222 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: game this year as well. But just from a rushing standpoint, 223 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: he's on pace to have over seventeen hundred almost eighteen 224 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: hundred yards and he could have eighteen touchdowns. 225 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. 226 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Sire Franklin's not wrong. This is a guy 227 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: who we saw rush for over eight you know, almost 228 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: two thousand yards a handful of years ago, and we 229 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: were like, I mean, can he ever do that again? 230 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that he even if he 231 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: doesn't do that, what he is doing collectively this year, 232 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: it is really easy to say that this might be 233 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: the best start of Jonathan Taylor's career. 234 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: He's having an impressive start to this season right now 235 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty five year, just the way he's running, 236 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: how hard he's running, and what he's doing and being 237 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 3: so effective out there on the football field running the ball, 238 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: and now what this plays where he you know, he 239 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: was like, oh man, he's going to take a two 240 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: yard loss. 241 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: It's a five yard game. 242 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 243 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: He keeps on pushing the pile, keeps his legs moving 244 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: and he's is making positive yards and you're like, he 245 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: should have been stopped behind the line of scrimmage, and 246 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 3: that's and that's to me, it's very impressive. He's turning 247 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: some negative plays into positive plays and that's keeping them 248 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: on track, keep them on schedule to hopefully make a 249 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: first down, and that's very important. 250 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: But get the off the line credit. 251 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 3: They're doing a nice job also making some holes for 252 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor butt. Jonathan Taylor not only is doing a 253 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: nice job wrung the ball, hitting the holes and pushing 254 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 3: the pile, but he's doing a good job catching the 255 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: ball the back I mean, he really is catching the 256 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: ball the backfield and being available to Daniel Jones when 257 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones needs him. And that is a good, good 258 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: feeling for a quarterback knowing that, hey, you know what 259 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: if all the guys down the field are covered or 260 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,359 Speaker 3: I don't see when open, I could dumping. 261 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: Off the JT. 262 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: That's not a bad option if JT gets the ball 263 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 3: in the open field and what he can do with 264 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: the ball and make some people miss. So JT is 265 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: having a good year. And another thing about JT is 266 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: JT does a good job in the off season, staying 267 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: in shape, Yeah, keeping his body in shape, getting ready 268 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: for the season, knowing it's going to be a long season, 269 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 3: and being prepared for the rigors of the season, the 270 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: ups and downs, the bumps and the bruises that he's 271 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: going to get, and being fresh for each and every game. 272 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: So give the young man credit for what he's doing. 273 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 3: He's doing an exceptional. 274 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: Job this year. Run the ball and catching the ball 275 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,479 Speaker 2: at the backfield. 276 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: And a couple of things on that you talk about 277 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: preparing himself. One of the things that he always preaches 278 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: is the prehab yep. And that is something that he 279 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: has always taken to be one of the most important 280 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: things that you do because you have to rehab your injuries. 281 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: Yep. 282 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: But he is always making sure that he is getting 283 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: out ahead of those things, making sure that his body 284 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: can do this, can go out there and play sixty 285 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: snaps and be okay with it, right, And that's part 286 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: of what goes into the grind and what makes him 287 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: so valuable. And you talk about what he's doing in 288 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: the passing game. The last handful of years have seen 289 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: essentially the Colts needed that third down back when you know, 290 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean we can go back to the Tyler Goodson 291 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew play. Ultimately, what it was is you needed 292 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: a reliable guy out there that was and he has 293 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: turned into that. That is something that Jonathan Taylor has. 294 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: He's heard the critics and he has said, you know what, 295 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to improve on this. I want to be 296 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't ever have to come off the 297 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: football field, and that is exactly what he has done. 298 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: We've seen it, not only just with his hands in 299 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: the passing game, but his pass protection has It has 300 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: grown immensely and it's so awesome to see from a 301 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: guy who is already elite. You know what he can 302 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: do running the football. He is still one of the 303 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: best running backs in all of football, but when he 304 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: can make his game even more impactful and make it 305 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: more well rounded for the team, it's really starting to 306 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: pay dividends and you're really starting to understand what this 307 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: offense can be with this type of Jonathan Taylor and 308 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: ultimately what they're doing right now, I don't see them 309 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: slowing down at any point. 310 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, those elite players, they always work on things that 311 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: they think they need to get better at. YEA, Now 312 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: if it's during the off season, or whatever. And we've 313 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 3: seen during training camp Jonathan Taylor working on the side 314 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: catching the football with his coaches the other players. He's 315 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: working on catching the football. It's catching the ball, catching 316 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: the ball, and the best thing to do to help 317 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: you catch the ball is catch the ball. Work on 318 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: catching ball. I cannot catch too many footballs to improve 319 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: your catching ability catching the football. I was always told 320 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: someone said, how many football should you need to catch 321 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: to improve your catching ability out there in the football field. 322 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: Someone said a thousand catchers said no, it's not enough. 323 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: He said, you just got to keep on catching it, 324 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: keep on doing It's no number. You just got to 325 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: keep on doing it. And when you do it, it 326 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: becomes second nature to you. And Jonathan Dayla he has 327 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: improved on that and that it shows by. 328 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: The work he has done. 329 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: During the offseason and during training camp that he has 330 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: worked on catching the football. 331 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: And you see out there in the football field now. 332 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: Now, one area I want to move to is the defense. 333 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: I think if you were to talk to the defensive 334 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: players inside that locker room, this is a game that 335 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: they would all say, yeah, let's do this went over. 336 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: There were a handful of areas that they'd really want 337 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: to improve on. If you look at it from just 338 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: a total yardage standpoint, the Cardinals had four hundred yards 339 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: of total offense coming into today's game. They were averaging 340 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: two to eighty eight point four yards of total offense, 341 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: which was twenty sixth in the NFL. And they did 342 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: that with a backup quarterback and Jacoby Brissett. Now not 343 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: a stab age Kobe. We have seen what Jacoby Brissett 344 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: can do. He deserves all the credit that he should get. 345 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: After the blake he played today, he did not look 346 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: like a backup quarterback. He's a veteran, he's a cerebral guy. 347 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing out there. So not at 348 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: all surprised at what Jacoby Brissett was able to do, 349 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: because we have seen what Jacoby can do in this league. 350 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: But when you see a backup quarterback, you also lose 351 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: essentially your top wide receiver threat and Marvin Harrison Junior 352 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: early in the game, you really would have liked to 353 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: see the defense bow up and not allow that many yardage. 354 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: But the caveat to that here, Bill is three of 355 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: six inside the red zone, so once again you're able 356 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: to limit the amount of touchdowns scored on you, and 357 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals have the ball, a chance to 358 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: win downstretch. Defense needs to make a stop, and the 359 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: defense made a stop. So it's one of those lessons 360 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: that you're always grateful for a win, and especially you're 361 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: grateful for a win when you don't play your best 362 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: and you know you've got stuff you can work on. 363 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: And the defense, I'm sure this week there's a handful 364 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: of things they really want to target on what to 365 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: improve on as they head in the next week against 366 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers exactly. 367 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: You know, the bottom line is you got the win, right, 368 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: You got the winning and that's that's the main thing. 369 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: And no one's gonna apologizeze win football games in the 370 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: National Football League. 371 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: But there are things they need to get better at. 372 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: And you know, one of them we've talked about third down. 373 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 3: You know, the defensively on third down, they gave up 374 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 3: sixty four percent conversion on third down. 375 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 376 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: And some of them were third and long. 377 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: Third and fifteen I think once and one, third and 378 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 3: seventeen or third and thirteen, something like that. But uh, 379 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 3: they give um some some third downs that they know 380 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: they need to get better on. Hopefully they need to 381 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 3: get the they need to get off the field and 382 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: get the ball back to the offense. But uh, those 383 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 3: some of the things that they need to work on 384 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 3: and give up four hundred yards. Like I said, not 385 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: taking anything away from Jacoby. 386 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: He's a veteran quarterback. He's smart. He took what the 387 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: defense was giving him and he was very good. 388 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 3: And you know Trey McBride, I mean, McBride had a 389 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: good a good day. 390 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: He did. He played well, and he's a really good player. Yeah, 391 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: he's pretty he's a really good player. Yeah he's a 392 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: little little chirpie. I didn't realize he was. 393 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 3: He's really chirping out there a lot today. But uh, 394 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: you know he's a good player, you know, and he 395 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: made some good plays, like pretty much on that one 396 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 3: touchdown on Nick Cross. I know Nick Cross took his 397 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 3: eyes off, put his eyes in the backfield and got 398 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: him off for McBride, and that's how McBride got opened 399 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: on there in the end zone and scored on that 400 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: touchdown pass from Jacoby Prissett. But you know, the defense 401 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: needs to work on some things. They need to hopefully 402 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 3: get better, especially on third down, and do a better 403 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: job but I think they will. I know Zaire Franklin 404 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: and the rest of the defensive guys have pride in 405 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: what they do and how they play the game, and 406 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: to me, that's the most important thing is how you 407 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: play the game, how you go out there and play, 408 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: and if they can take care of the how they 409 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 3: play the game, those results will happen. If you go 410 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 3: out there and just execute your game plan and take 411 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: care of the game how you want to take care 412 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: of it in regards to how you play, how you 413 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: make plays, and everything else will take care of itself. 414 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: You'll keep the yardist down from how many yards the 415 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 3: team can get on you. You'll do better on third down, 416 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 3: You'll do better in the red zone. All those things 417 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: will take care of himself. If you play the game 418 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 3: nextecute the game plan. That's something they're gonna I'm sure 419 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 3: I'll go back to drawing and board and try to 420 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: get better at next week. 421 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: Now, final, a couple of things here before we wrap up. 422 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the new guys making an impact. 423 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: I think Michael Badgley stepped in at the kicker position, 424 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: was asked to kick one field goal, knocked it straight 425 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: through the uprights, was four for four on his pat 426 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: So Michael Badgley was perfect in his kicking opportunities today. 427 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: And then Jermaine Pratt, the linebacker, he stepped in off 428 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say off the street because he was 429 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: released by the Raiders on Monday, essentially signed on Tuesday, 430 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: so we'll say he was a day on the street, 431 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: but ultimately you know. But anyway, so Jermaine Pratt comes 432 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: in leads a team with eleven tackles. So I think 433 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: both the guys, you knew they were going to make 434 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: an instant impact, especially with Michael Badgley because you were 435 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to have a guy kicking, so that we 436 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: knew was going to be an instant impact. But we 437 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: saw Joe Bachi get placed on IR. Jermaine Pratt is signed. 438 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: He has the familiarity with lou Anroumo, and he stepped 439 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: right in and didn't miss abeat inside this defense. 440 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 3: No, he stepped in and had eleven tackles, as you mentioned, 441 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: and you know that, I think that's very impressive. Someone 442 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: come in from another system and you know, yes, he 443 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 3: has played on Loose system, so he understand the. 444 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 2: Lingo and the language and things like that. And what 445 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: it means. 446 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: But just to come in and really just get a 447 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 3: week of practice with the guys and be out there. 448 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 3: That's pretty impressive for the man to go out there 449 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 3: and get eleven tackles, lead the team in tackles out there, 450 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 3: So kudos to Jermaine and Pratt out there and badly, 451 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: I mean, did a nice job. And the good thing 452 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 3: is he was familiar with your operation with Rigo and 453 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: the road, so that helps a lot. I mean when 454 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: you have some guys that you're familiar with and familiar 455 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: with your operation and how they go about their operation, 456 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: the snapping of the ball, the holding of the ball, 457 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: so he really didn't have to worry a lot about 458 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: that and then have to really do a lot. And 459 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: sure they had to get you know, know each other 460 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: to get real familiar with what they do and how 461 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: they do it. So but there was I'm sure it 462 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 3: was like second nature to him and got back to 463 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 3: it there and you know, made the extra points and 464 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 3: that's big and doesn't change how Shane has to call 465 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: the game or anything like that. And made his opportunity 466 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 3: to hit the field goal, so that's that was a 467 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: plus and hopefully that will continue. 468 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: I look forward to get even better. 469 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, moving forward and him having other chances to kick 470 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 3: field goals and more field goals. And I mean for Pratt, 471 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: someone's going to get better, keep on getting good as well. 472 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 3: I mean he's back here, he probably feels a little 473 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 3: bit more comfortable playing with the guys now. I mean 474 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: just he only had a week with the guys, So 475 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 3: the longer he practiced with the guys, and more comfortable 476 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 3: he'll feel, and I'm sure he'll be fine. 477 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: So then final here, what we're going to talk about 478 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: is something that honestly, I don't think I've ever seen before, 479 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: but the Colts had two players before the game started 480 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: get hurt in warm ups. We saw Anthony Richardson. According 481 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: to Shane Stike, and I want to make sure I 482 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: get this correct, he suffered an orbital fracture during the 483 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: band stretching warm up, so he had to go straight 484 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: to the hospital and he was released shortly after the game. 485 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: But Anthony Richardson, before you know, in pregame, suffered in 486 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean very traumatic eye injury. So then Riley Leonard 487 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: had to be kind of thrust into that backup quarterback 488 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: position for today. And then also we saw Sharvarius War 489 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: had a collision with I think it was Drew Ogletree 490 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: and it resulted in him having a concussion. So for 491 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: both players, I mean you especially you know with Richardson, 492 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: you really hope for a safe and speedy recovery. I 493 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: don't know what the recovery to a fractured orbital bone is. 494 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: That seems very severe. So our thoughts and prayers are 495 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: with Anthony and hope he gets a speedy recovery. I'm 496 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: sure we'll learn more as the week goes on. But 497 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: then with Sharvarius Ward, you know you're starting corner. This 498 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: is now the second concussion he has had this season, 499 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: so you really start to, you know, make sure that 500 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: he's in a good spot mentally because that that's some 501 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: scary stuff when you start talking about concussions, especially in 502 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: a short time frame. So definitely something we're gonna have 503 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: to keep our eye on moving forward, especially into the 504 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: Chargers and down the road for the season. 505 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. 506 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 3: I mean, you know you talk about Anthony, I mean, 507 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 3: that's an unfortunate injury. You know, it's a malfunction of 508 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: the band while stretching. How what are you doing with 509 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 3: the apparatus that he was using, and that's unfortunate. 510 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: And this just the sound of fracture of bones mean 511 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: that that that hurts. It hurts me thinking about it 512 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: with you. So, like you said, our prayers with Anthony. 513 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 3: Hopefully he has a speedy recovery and he's doing okay, 514 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 3: and uh, you know he's all right, not just physically 515 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 3: but also mentally as well. I'm sure I can take 516 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 3: a toll on an individual being, you know, having an 517 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: injury and really not doing anything out there in the 518 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 3: football field. So I'm hoping he's he's okay. And then 519 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: you know Travaria's ward with concussion and the thing about concussions, 520 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 3: each person handles them differently. 521 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and each concussion is different exactly. 522 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: So you don't know exactly, you know, you know what's 523 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 3: going to happen in the days and the weeks to come. 524 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: So hopefully he's okay and you know, he bounces back 525 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 3: and everything's okay with him. But it was kind of 526 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: unusual injuries, you know, as far as the pregame and 527 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 3: things happening like that, and uh, you know, give the 528 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: coaches credit for you know, having the guys to step 529 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 3: in and getting them ready to go and and and 530 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: being able to play out there. So it's especially from 531 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: a defensive back standpoint, you know, those guys getting ready 532 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: to play and playing the game and just you just 533 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: never know, and then you know they have to go 534 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: in adjustments to coaches as far as you know, how 535 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: they call the game, who is in at a certain time, 536 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 3: who's in at this position. So give the coaches credit for, 537 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: you know, making adjustments and getting the guys in there 538 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: and having them ready to play. And uh, you know, 539 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: I know Jerome Henderson is from a teammate of mine, 540 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 3: so I'm sure he had the guys ready to play. 541 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: As for the defensive backs, and I'm happy to see 542 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: that they know what those guys did the job they 543 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 3: need to do to get to win. So kudos to them, 544 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: and hopefully moving forward, we can curtail some of these entries. Yeah, 545 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: especially the Yeah, they've had a lot of injuries of lately, 546 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 3: and hopefully guys will start healing up and don't know 547 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: when or whenever, but hopefully Kennicot's back soon, ye anymore, 548 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 3: so hopefully he'll be back soon. If you get him back, 549 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: and uh, you know what, that will help some and 550 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: get some of these other guys that are injured U 551 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: back on the field and go from there. 552 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. You talk about Kenny Moore, we talk about 553 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: you know, Travarius Ward with concussion, but Jalen Jones is 554 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: also a guy who would be eligible to a turn 555 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: off IR once his hamstring is at that point. Yeah, 556 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: So that is an area that has been decimated by injuries. 557 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about what you dealt with with 558 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: Justin Walley, the draft pick that you were hoping, you know, 559 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: high hopes for and now so ultimately, yeah, it has 560 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: been a concern when it comes to the injury department. 561 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: You really hope you can get that shirt up and 562 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: also you hope you don't have any more pregame injuries. 563 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: That's something I've never heard of, but you know, I 564 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: guess once every blue moon something happened. So you're really 565 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: hoping that the Colts can get a clean bill of 566 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: health as we head into next Sunday against the Los Angeles, 567 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: char I almost called it the San Diego charge. Yeah, 568 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles. Yeah, well, I mean I consider it 569 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: my time, Bill, I'll stick with it as being my 570 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: time as well too. But but like I said, it's 571 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: a it's still a victory at home. Whether it's ugly, 572 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: whether it don't matter, it's a win. The Colts win 573 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: three three twenty seven. They improved to five and one. 574 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top Jacksonville fell. So the Colts 575 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: sit atop themselves, all alone in the AFC South at 576 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: five and one, and they're still a top of the 577 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: AFC Conference at five and one as well, and they 578 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: will travel next Sunday to Los Angeles to take on 579 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Chargers got a victory today there, four and two, 580 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: So it's going to be a really tough test to 581 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: see what happens between the Colts and the Chargers. But 582 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: for Bill Brooks, I'm Casey Valier. Thank you so much 583 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: for tuning in on Instant Reaction
