11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: Here are the Colts Audio Network. I'm JJ stink Mitz,

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: joined as always postgame by Colts Ring of honor wide

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: receiver Bill Brooks. Bill. Today we are breaking down the

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: colts thirty one to twenty one seasoned opening loss to

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars, a game that defined by a couple

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: of things. Bill. I think, first of all, some encouraging

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: glimpses from Anthony Richardson, but you know that that's kind

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: of the positive side, right the negative side the Colt

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: situationally struggling, going to to twelve on third down, one

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: of three in the red zone, only converting one of

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: five fourth down tries. Let's start off with Richardson. Bill,

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: what were just your your general impression of him coming

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: out of this game with the just kind of the

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: feel of everything that he had. Real quick the stats

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: for Anthony today, I thought, Bill not bad. You know,

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: a complete sixty five percent of his passes, he rushes

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: for forty yards, gets a touchdown on both sides, throws

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: an interception. Yeah, what what did you see from Anthony?

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: And what do you think of his game today?

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: He thought, I did pretty good, Like you said, I

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: know you look at six five percent completion percentage. He

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: was twenty four for thirty seven two on twenty three

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: yards through a T, through a TD, ran for a TD.

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: I thought he for the most part, kept the team

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: on track, kept the ball out of danger except for

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: the one interception. So I thought he played pretty well.

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: I thought he he stayed poised, he stayed under control.

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: He didn't get rattled out there at all. When Jacksonville

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: went down score, they answered back early in the game,

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: came back and drove down the field and scored a touchdown.

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: So I thought he stayed poised and under control, and

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: that to me goes a long way I.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Think the first takeaway I had Bill was, you know,

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Jacksonville played a lot of too high safety in this game.

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: You know what you do to kind of keep a

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 2: lid on an offense that might want to get it downfield.

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: And on one hand, okay, Anthony didn't really take a

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: shot down field in this game, but I kind of

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. Like, as he's learning to identify

50
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: NFL level defenses, you know what if he just checks

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: it down, if it's a bunch of RPOs and he's

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: not making dangerous throws you know, more than a couple

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: of times a game, I'm okay with that. And that's

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: something that Shane Stike and I think has really drilled

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: into him that, hey, you just completions are are your friend,

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Like just get the ball into the hand of a

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: teammate and stay ahead of the chains, stay out of

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: third and long by just you know, if you got

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: to complete a pass to a running back or a

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: tight end on an outlet or Josh Downs on a

61
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 2: quick choice route, just do it. I think that Anthony

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: really took to that in this game, and he's done

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: that all preseason, right, Like we saw that out of

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: him in training camp and in some preseason games, but

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: now that you're in a game that really counts. I

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: think that that just goes to his level of poise

67
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: and the even keeled demeanor of you know what, if

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: nothing's there or if I don't trust it i'm seeing,

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take a completion and move on to

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: the next play.

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: Exactly. That's a young man being patient. A lot of

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: times young players aren't patients. They want to make the

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: big play right away. They want to you know, they

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: see it just a little opening that they think they

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: can make a big play, and they want to do it.

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: And I think that's what Jacksonville was counting on against

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, that you know what, if he sees it,

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 3: he just impatient, he's gonna want to make that big

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: play and then all of a sudden it's an interception

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: or it's a bad play for the Coat's offense. So

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: he didn't he didn't do that. He stayed poised, He

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: took what they gave him, got the ball into the

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: playmaker's hands. I know this wasn't a play where you know,

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: he had to check it down, but it was a

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: design screen to Pittman and you get the ball to Pittman,

86
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: and you see what he did with the ball, got

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: the ball downfield, scored on a thirty nine yard touchdown

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: pretty much a wide receiver screen. So that was you know,

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: that's what he needs to do. Get the ball in

90
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: the playmaker's hands, let them make some plays and just

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: be patient when they're When the play is there, you

92
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: make the play. But if there's nothing there, you check

93
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: it down to the back, or get it to the

94
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: tight end or wherever, or you throw it away, whatever

95
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: you need to do. Just be patient and wait. When

96
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: the time come, you'll be able to make a big play.

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: So Anthony goes and uh, you know, he goes throughout

98
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: this game. He throws the interception, which we will get

99
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: into here in a little bit. But you know, Bill,

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: after the game, I talked with you know, Michael Pittman, Junior,

101
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: Bernard Ryman, a couple of guys in the locker room

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: who all told me the same thing we've been hearing

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: about Anthony for months is that he's really poised. Like

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce said, after he threw that interception, you don't

105
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: even known that he just threw a pick in you know,

106
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: five minutes to go in the fourth quarter and that like,

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: what does that do for a team? Bill When when

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: you have your quarterback, especially a young quarterback, you know,

109
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: making his first start in the NFL, who has that

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: just that that cool calm demeanor of how you know,

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: nothing really rattles him during a game? How does that

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: impact a team?

113
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: That goes a long way? Anytime you can have a leader,

114
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: your head coach, off as the codinator, your quarterback that

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: shows that they're calm, nothing's out on them, under control.

116
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: Hey guys, we have everything under control. Let's calm down,

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: we'll be okay. And when he's when the quarterback does that,

118
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: and for a young man like Anthony, that goes a

119
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: long way. It keeps everyone else calm. So it keeps

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: everyone under control, saying okay, let me think about my assignments.

121
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: Just not get too rattled here that we know we

122
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: got to try to make all these plays. By the way,

123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: By the way, why stay calm. The leader of the

124
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: of the offense is calm. He has everything under control,

125
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: and that keeps everyone else calm and relax so they

126
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: can go out there and perform at a high level.

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: That goes a long way. When you're a leader is

128
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: the one that is calm and leading the way, and

129
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: you just want to follow. You just want to follow

130
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 3: someone like that so you can go out there, be

131
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: calm and make the plays you need to make to

132
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: hopefully help the offense.

133
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: On the ground, Anthony had ten carries for forty yards.

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: He had the touchdown. This was interesting, Bill. Six of

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: his runs were designed care So obviously it's not something

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: we really saw a lot of in the preseason because

137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: you're not you know, why would you show that he

138
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: had four scrambles, But yeah, those six designed runs, including

139
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: the one the red zone touchdown he had on the

140
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: goal line, Like, that's such a designer play with all

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: the motion and the three tight ends on the field.

142
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: That's one of those like Week one things where I

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: don't there's not a single you could have, you know,

144
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White on the field and

145
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: they're not stopping that play like that. That was one

146
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: of those like really well schemed and executed Week one

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: red zone plays that you know, you really love to see.

148
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, the design runs, you know, I think you

149
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: know Anthony got banged up, he said early in the

150
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: game of the first quarter. He kind of hit his

151
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: knee on the turf a little bit and then kind

152
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: of scrambling. Late in the game he had to come out.

153
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: He said, he's fine, But you know what, did you

154
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: just kind of take away from how Anthony, you know,

155
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: ran it on the ground in those situations.

156
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: I think they a fine job. I thought on the

157
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: design runs, he did a nice job. You know, he

158
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: got down. You know, he for the most part, he

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: didn't take any big hits except the one I think

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: he fell on his knee. The one earlier in the

161
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: game in the first half, I think he fell on

162
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: his knee. I don't think he took a big hit.

163
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: The only big hit he took was the one at

164
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: the end of the game. So I was fine with it.

165
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: The way he ran this a couple of times, he

166
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: guy bounds. I think one time he wasn't going down,

167
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: but he kind of went down a little bit just

168
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: to save himself. So I like what he did out there.

169
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: And you know, the one he took the big hit

170
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: on he was trying to score. I mean, they're trying

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: to score a touchdown so they can get back into

172
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: the game. And that was fine. But I'm glad he's okay,

173
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: hopefully no. Uh, you know, he will take care of himself.

174
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: And I said earlier in the day, I said, if

175
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: he has about five design runs, I'll be okay with that.

176
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 3: So six is you know, is fine with me. I

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: don't think they want to run him too much. They

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 3: definitely want to make sure that he stays healthy for

179
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: the whole season and keep the young man upright and

180
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: let him do what he does best.

181
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: All right, So let's talk about the interception. It came

182
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: with about five minutes to go in the fourth quarter

183
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: in a big situation with the Colts down by three,

184
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: chasing the lead after Jacksonville took the lead on a

185
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: touchdown in earlier in the fourth quarter. So that play,

186
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: it's something that Anthony said is kind of a go

187
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: to play for the Colts, and they thought they had

188
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: the right spot to get it, and it meant they

189
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: would have to go after Tyson Campbell, and Richardson said

190
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: after the game that the Colts try to stay away

191
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: from Tyson Campbell during the game and understandably so, but

192
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of Moiley Cox runs kind of like a

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: fifteen yard deep out with Michael Pittman Junior trying to

194
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: carry the free safety Tyson Campbell drops into zone and

195
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: there's room there between Queen, Anthony Richardson and Mo Ali

196
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: Cox with Tyson Campbell there. But Richardson admitted, you know,

197
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: he threw the ball a little bit flat, didn't get

198
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: enough arc on it, didn't get enough loft on it,

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: and that allowed Campbell to pick it off Shane Stike

200
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: and also took responsibility for it after the game, saying

201
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: he probably just been called that against a cover two.

202
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Look that play though, Bill, is that one of those

203
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: where Anthony it's going to be a learning moment for him, Like, okay,

204
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: if we get that look again, throw it in a

205
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: spot where only Mo or no one can catch it.

206
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll learn from that, you know. And I think

207
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: Tyson did a good job of baiting him a little

208
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: bit also because he came up and then he dropped

209
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: off back towards Moali Cox. And then when Anthony threw it,

210
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: he said he didn't get enough arc on the ball

211
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: and he is a little bit more arc to try

212
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: to get it over him. And as you said, either

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: Moalley catches it or no one catches it, and that's

214
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: just a learning moment. He said, it you know, I

215
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: think I heard him in an interview say that, you know,

216
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: I threw a little bit too flat. So now he

217
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 3: knows next time he sees that. You know what, when

218
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: I get maybe a cover of two, look, I might

219
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: have to put a little bit more arc on it.

220
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: Not not too much arc, because I don't want to

221
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: float out there, because I don't want to get Moali

222
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: hurt or I don't want someone else to come from

223
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: over the top and pick it off. But I needed

224
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: to make sure enough so the guy if he drops

225
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: off that has the flat area, he can get back.

226
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: He can't get back there and get to Moali Cox.

227
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: So he'll learn. You know, I said learning the moment,

228
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: and we all said this was going to happen. You know,

229
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: there's gonna be times where you know, he's going to

230
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 3: have it plays out there where you know he might

231
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: make a mistake and he's going to learn from it.

232
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: He puts it in his memory bank, and now he

233
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: knows next time if he calls that play and I

234
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: see this coverage, I know, maybe I need to get

235
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more arc on it the ball than

236
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: I did last time.

237
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: So the difference in this game to me, Bill, you know, Yeah,

238
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: the the Colt struggled on third down, going two to twelve,

239
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: but you know, so did the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars

240
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: went three to twelve on third down. The Colt struggled

241
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: on fourth down. They went one of five on fourth down,

242
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: but the jack Jaguars went one of three on fourth down.

243
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: We're really separated from me, Bill. The Colts went one

244
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: of three in the red zone. The Jaguars went three.

245
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: Of three or three.

246
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's where you know, you're looking at a

247
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: two score game and the Colts didn't score on two

248
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 2: of their red zone possessions. Generally speaking, are these issues,

249
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: you know, kind of the situational stuff for a young team.

250
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Are these going to be fixable issues as the season

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: goes on.

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: I think they can be fixable issues as the season

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: goes on, because you look at the plays, probably more

254
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: unlikely those plays that weren't successful there was a mistake

255
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: by someone on the team, and then you have to

256
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: just clean those up and people have to realize, you know,

257
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: you have eleven guys out there. All it takes is

258
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: one mistake by one guy at the mess up a

259
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: play and that could be the play that you know

260
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: it's it's on third down and you know you try

261
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: to you're trying to score, and you know you don't

262
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: get it, you know, fourth down, so maybe you have

263
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: to kick a field goal. So you know, it's very

264
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: important for when you get into the red zone area,

265
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: you you really want to make sure that everyone is

266
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: know it tuned into their assignment so they cannot make

267
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: mistakes so they can hopefully hopefully score and get a touchdown.

268
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: And those and those drives are important. You know, I

269
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: also heard Anthony you We're just gonna say, you know,

270
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: the biggest thing that was different for him from college

271
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: to now is that every drive is important. Every play

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: is important, and you know, the whole team needs to

273
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: think that that every play is important, every drive is

274
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: important because you can't take any drives off, you can't

275
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: take any plays off because you don't know which play

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: is going to be the big play. And you know

277
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: now that they know that, I'm sure they always know that,

278
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: They've always known that. They just need to make sure

279
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: that when they get out there, they try to execute

280
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 3: and not make mistakes so they can be efficient, especially

281
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 3: in the red zone.

282
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: Like the one one of them that really hurt.

283
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: Bill.

284
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: You know, after Tony Brown gets that interception in the

285
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: second quarter, Colts get down. You know, Richardson runs for

286
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: three three yards. He then runs for four yards. Deon

287
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: Jackson picks up two yards and then they go quick

288
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: and they try to do that, you know, the QB

289
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: sneak that the Eagles made famous last year, kind of

290
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: the Rugby scrum.

291
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: Of the push and push and it.

292
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Didn't get there. That Jaguars defensive line did a really

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: good job on that play. Richardson's not able to extend

294
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: the ball over the line. That play came on fourth

295
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: and one of the Jags sixteen yard line. I like

296
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: the aggressiveness of Shane Steichen of saying, hey, like, let

297
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: you know, we've got a six five, two and fifty

298
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: pound quarterback. Let's put the ball in his hands and

299
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: see what he can do. I really didn't mind that one.

300
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: The one the next one that the Colts did not convert.

301
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: That was a fourth and fourth the Jaguars forty two

302
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: yard line. One of those kind of tweener one. I

303
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: think no man's land and I think right, and I

304
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: think in general, Bill, you like the aggressiveness to go

305
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: for it there that's kind of where the NFL is going.

306
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: You want to see, you know, hey get you know,

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: put the ball on your offense's hand, don't punt from

308
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: plus territory unless the situation desperately calls for it. Then

309
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: you get into the third quarter, Deon Jackson loses two

310
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: yards and loses a fumble on a running play. They

311
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: kind of pitched it to him to the outside, it

312
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: didn't go anywhere. That was the other fourth down, and

313
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: then they do convert. Anthony Richardson is able to scramble

314
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: for five yards late in the fourth quarter, but then

315
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: on the goal line Garnimage you cannot find Michael Pittman

316
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: Junior on kind of a scrambled droll play after Richardson

317
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: came out. So those are the four to fourth the

318
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: five fourth downs that the Colts did not convert. And

319
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, those of course are a big difference in

320
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: this game. But I think just generally, Bill, I want

321
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: to bring those up because I like the aggressive mentality

322
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: that Chanstiken had with a young team. That's how you

323
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: just kind of you build that confidence with that quin

324
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: and you build a mentality in your team of hey,

325
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: we're not just going to give the ball back to

326
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: the other team with a punt if we're in a

327
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: situation that's a advantageous.

328
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: For us exactly, and what you do to your your team,

329
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: especially the officer you're tell him, hey, fourth down is

330
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: not a surrender play for us to punt the ball

331
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: back if we're within reason of getting a first down

332
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: depending on field position, time of game, and a whole

333
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: bunch of other circumstances. You know what, I have confidence

334
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: in you guys that you guys can go out there

335
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: and get one two yards, three yards and get a

336
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: first down. So I like his aggressiveness. I like what

337
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: he did and the other ones. To me, when you're

338
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: in that I call it no man's land. You know,

339
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: you're on forty one forty two yard line. If you

340
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: punt the ball, you're pretty much only gaining maybe thirty

341
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: yards in the punt because you know, save you down

342
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: inside the down on the ten yard line, you know what,

343
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: you only gain thirty yards. Like, if you have an

344
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: opportunity to go for it, go for it. You know

345
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: obviously only one two, three yards. I think you should

346
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: go for it if you have confidence in your team,

347
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: and Shane has confidence in his offense. So I don't

348
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: see any problem going for it. And believe me, players

349
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: like coaches to be aggressive, and you know, I think

350
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: that's going to go a long way throughout the season

351
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 3: by him going for it. Now, I think you'll see

352
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: it him do that more, depending on the situation.

353
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: One other quick thing on the Colts offense bill before

354
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: we move over to the defense. I thought the pass

355
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: protection was pretty good in this game. I know Anthony

356
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: Richardson got sacked four times. I think those are probably

357
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: on him, you know, I think before you know, without

358
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: the benefit of going back and watching the film on them,

359
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, I think those came on some plays where

360
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: there was you know, he had a little bit more

361
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: time to throw, so not necessarily like the O line

362
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: breaking down in protection or anything. Bernard Rayman, I thought

363
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: had a fantastic game on the outside Pro Football Focus.

364
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: Their early numbers had him allowing just one pressure on

365
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: forty seven dropbacks in this game. That's something just to

366
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: kind of keep an eye on as the season goes on, that, Hey,

367
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: you know that pass pro that can be a real

368
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: Like we've kind of got this sort of sense ill

369
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: that has offensive line like a lot of people are

370
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: counting them out, but they've got some good vibes around him.

371
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Good early start for them. I think in this game

372
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 2: something they can definitely build on.

373
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely build out. Especially their past protection. I

374
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: thought it was pretty good. I the pass protection is

375
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: pretty good. Run blocking hybe not maybe not as good

376
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: as definitely not as good as the pass protection, but

377
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 3: the pass protection I think was good. I think a

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: lot has a lot of What has to do with

379
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 3: that is is Anthony Richardson. Anthony being someone that's mobile

380
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: back there, someone that the defense has to make sure

381
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: that they keep an eye on. They can get out,

382
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: so sometimes they might be a little bit hesitant to

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: to really really rush all that hard. They need to

384
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: make sure they stay disciplined in their lanes. And I

385
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 3: think having him back there and having his size and

386
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: his just speed, I think that helps a lot. But

387
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: give the office line credit. I think that I thought

388
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 3: they did a nice job protecting Anthony richards at winning one.

389
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: When you drop back the.

390
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 2: Pass, yeah, I got to go back and watch that

391
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: run blocking and just the run game in general. Bill.

392
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: When Richardson handed it off, the Colts running backs Dean Jackson,

393
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: Jake Funk, and Evan Hall who whole left the game

394
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: with the knee injury. They combined for sixteen carries for

395
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: twenty six yards. It's hard to win when that's what

396
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: you're getting out of the running back position. All right,

397
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: flipping it over to defense, we have to start with

398
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: the the DeForest Buckner touchdown, which frankly is one of

399
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: my favorite NFL players I've ever seen.

400
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: Like the two fumble plays on to touch down.

401
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 2: I mean it just incredible, Like DeForest Buckner gets in

402
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: there and he forces the fumble. You know, it looks

403
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: like it might have been a pass. So Tank Bigsby

404
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 2: picks it up, and some players start kind of jogging

405
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: around and not really doing anything. Bigsby's holding the ball,

406
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: the rookie running back for the Jaguars, and here come

407
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: Zaire Franklin like, well I didn't hear a whistle, but

408
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: also old uh Lara Overton after the game that he

409
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: was just honestly trying to be an a hole is

410
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: what he said. Oh really, so he was going to

411
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 2: punch the ball out and it worked because the whistle

412
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: hadn't blown. So then DeForest Buckner picks it up and

413
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 2: buck then like if you just took the photo of

414
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner stretching the ball across the goal line and

415
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: like sent it out a context to like a Colts

416
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: fan who like accidentally slept through this game and was like, here,

417
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: look at this photo. You'd be like, what's going on here?

418
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: Why is DeForest Buckner stretching the ball across the goal line?

419
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: It looks so out of place and it's so funny.

420
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: But what a heads up play by Zia Franklin, regardless

421
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: of his motivation to do that. And then I mean,

422
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: how many times have you seen two forced fumbles and

423
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 2: a touchdown on a single play? Bill That was wild?

424
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen that play, especially by a defensive

425
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: lineman running, running it in and stretching out to the

426
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: goal line to make sure you get a touchdown. But

427
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: as you say, it gives a credit. Now I gave.

428
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: I gave Zire credit for just playing, you know, playing

429
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: to the whistle. You know, you tell all the high

430
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: school players you always play to the whistle, don't stop

431
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: until you hear the whistle. And Zaire did that pretty much,

432
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: and you know he makes sure that he got the

433
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: ball out. Bixby was holding it, just standing there and

434
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 3: holding it, and people kind of milling around him and

435
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: Zaire just punches it out. The Forest picks it up,

436
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: runs to the end zone and makes a nice, nice

437
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: athletic play to stretch out and make sure he gets

438
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: the ball across the plane the goal line and touchdown.

439
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: So nice play by the Forest, but really really give

440
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 3: a lot of credit to Zire Franklin for keeping the

441
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: keeping his head up and making sure that you know,

442
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: he was aware of the whistle not being blown and

443
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: playing to the whistle.

444
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 2: Speaking of Zire Franklin, goodness gracious. He had eighteen tackles today,

445
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: Like I mean, he's on pace to have like he's

446
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: on pace to like double his season season single season

447
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: tackle record. And these weren't like cheapy tackles. Bill. He

448
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: had six runs stops, which are is a stat that

449
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus has that is essentially, did you create

450
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: a loss for the offense on the play. It doesn't

451
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: mean you got to tackle for a loss or anything,

452
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: but did you create a negative play for the offense.

453
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 2: He had six of those. He had two tackles for

454
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: a loss or no gain. Just I mean, he was

455
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: everywhere in the run game and like this, this is

456
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: where this Colts defensive line when you have DeForest Buckner

457
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: and Grover Stewart in the middle just blowing up play

458
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: after play after play. Grover Stewart was phenomenal today. DeForest

459
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 2: Buckner was phenomenal today. Quitd he pay at a really

460
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: good game. We're gonna get into him at a second,

461
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: but you just see, like Zire Franklin can be so

462
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: aggressive in the way that he plays. He's so downhill

463
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: and physical that he can go with gamerere his eighteen

464
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: tackles and you're like, yeah, that makes sense. That fits

465
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: for who he is as a player.

466
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: That is that is Aya. Zaire is a physical guy

467
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: and wants a hit. Everything that moves, doesn't matter if

468
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: you're a lineman or a receiver or a tight end,

469
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: He's gonna hit you. I mean, I would love to

470
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 3: know how hard his impacts were today, because he hit

471
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 3: a couple of guys very hard. I mean it was

472
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: it was some plays that you know what they knew

473
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: where Zaire Franklin is. And I think you know, people

474
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: who watch that film, they're gonna they're gonna know Zaire Franklin,

475
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna know where he's at. They're gonna keepn eye

476
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: on him because he was bringing the wood today, and

477
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: I really like the way Zaya was playing, you know,

478
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: like I said, at eighteen tackles. He also had a

479
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: pass deflected today, so played well. Of course, we talked

480
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 3: about the force fumble, so Zaire, you know, that's why

481
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 3: he's one of the leaders on the team, and he

482
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 3: comes and plays and leaves it all on the field

483
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: every time he steps on the field. So that's why

484
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: Zaire is one of the leaders on the team. And

485
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: it's just just good to see Zaire make plays all

486
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: the field.

487
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: Another guy was really good to see out there. I

488
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: thought Quitty Pay had a really good game. He had

489
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: a sack. You know, he's only credited with two total

490
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: pressures from Pro Football Focus. I thought he impacted the

491
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: pass a little bit more than that, and then against

492
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: the run like that. That pairing of him and Grover

493
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: Stewart on on the d line was really good. He

494
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: had and like his TfL he had or he had

495
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: a couple of plays that were just in like big

496
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: situations when he came up, you know, with big plays.

497
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 2: So I had a chance to catch up with Quitty

498
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: after the game. I'm going to write about it in

499
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: my Five Colts Things column on Monday on Colts dot Com.

500
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: And he seems to really be ascending and growing his

501
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: confidence this year. Really good signed to see him get

502
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: the season off to a good start.

503
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think his confidence is growing this year, and

504
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: I think he really wants to go out there and

505
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: prove something this year. He wants to go out there

506
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: and you know, of course stay healthy and be able

507
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: to play all seventeen games and never know how many

508
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: more after that, if there's any more after that, but

509
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: play seventeen games and just show people what he can do.

510
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: And he's getting off to a good start today, got me.

511
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 3: I thought he played well. Of course, he had the

512
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: sack and then you know, of course he had two

513
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 3: tackle for losses, so you know, had four tackles combined.

514
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: So he played well, and I expect that, you know,

515
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: the rest of the season, you know, going out there

516
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: playing putting pressure on the quarterback and you know, cause

517
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: some havoc out there for the offense.

518
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: Colts did get a number of stops on third and

519
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: fourth down, like we talked about, you know earlier with

520
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: the Jaguars only converting three of twelve on third down

521
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: and then one of three on fourth down. Another really

522
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: good sign for this defense that this front is very

523
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: very good, and I think we were interested in, you know,

524
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: how kind of the Russian cover would pair up in

525
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: this game. You know, Calvin Ridley had a pretty big

526
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: game obviously, but I thought as the game went on,

527
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: you saw that that kind of rush and cover combination

528
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: really start to take off, you know, just in affecting

529
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: the quarterback, affecting the timing. You know, second half of

530
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: the game, Calvin Ridley had one catch on three targets

531
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: for nine yards. So you saw some good adjustments here

532
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: from this team. And it wasn't like they were just

533
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: picked apart by one guy like it might have looked

534
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: like could be the case in the first half of

535
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: the game.

536
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Kevin Midley credit. You know, the man's good,

537
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: good ball player. He's uh came out hot with the

538
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: feeding in the ball. He made some nice plays. But

539
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: you know, give our defense some credit. They did a

540
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: good job in the second half. And I think those

541
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: are things you're gonna need to do. You need, you

542
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 3: need to go out there and play well in the

543
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: second half. And you know that's something that you know, hopefully, uh,

544
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: you know, could do a little bit better, and we

545
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: talked about early in the red zone. So but you know,

546
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: I get the defense some credit they I thought they

547
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: played it hard today. I thought the defense played real hard.

548
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: They went out there flying around. Thought they got a

549
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: little time fatigue near the end of the game.

550
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: Just a real quick aside here something that's kind of

551
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: a funny, little comparison between the two top receivers in

552
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: this game. Michael Pittman Junior didn't have a catch in

553
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: the first half, Calvin Ridley had seven for ninety two.

554
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: Then in the second half you can see where I'm

555
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: going with this, Calvin Ridley had one catch for nine yards.

556
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior had eight catches for ninety seven yards.

557
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: So both teams kind of made adjustments as the game

558
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 2: went on and got the Colts are able to get

559
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman the ball a lot more and keep the

560
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: ball away from Calvin Ridley as the game went on.

561
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: All right, One final thing to get to here, Bill

562
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: Shaquille Leonard making his return.

563
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: Boys.

564
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 2: It's just good to see him out there. It's like

565
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: every time the Colts defense is on the field, you know,

566
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: the camera guys for the video board would catch shkill

567
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: learn he's firing up the crowd. He's just so hyped

568
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: to be out there, and you can really really feel

569
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: the energy that he brings his teammates really feeding off

570
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: that throughout the game.

571
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's he's got a bunch of a bunch

572
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: of energy inside of him and he brings it out

573
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 3: there hopefully, you know, getting his teammates excited and get

574
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: them riled up and going. You know, I think he's

575
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 3: just a little contagious, not just from an energy standpoint,

576
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: but also from just guys trying to create turnover. You

577
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: saw e J. Speed. They're punched the ball out of

578
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: Cavin Ridley and you know, unfortunately didn't get the ball

579
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: because he recovered out of bounds. But you know, I

580
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: think you're going to see the guys kind of rally

581
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: around what Shaq does and play off his energy. And

582
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 3: I think if they continue to do that, I think

583
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: good things will happen. I think hopefully, you know, Shack

584
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 3: will continue to be out there playing and be b shacked,

585
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: just go out there and his B shack. If he

586
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: can go out there and be shack, I think that

587
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: will be helpful for the defense.

588
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: So Shaquille Leonard played fifty nine of sixty nine snaps

589
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: on defense, so not every single play, but pretty darn

590
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: close to it, which you you really like to see.

591
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good snap share for Shaquille Leonard in.

592
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: His definitely, yeah, exactly for his first came back and

593
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: you've seen that and him playing, you know this, basically

594
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: missing ten snaps. That's that's pretty good for someone like that.

595
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 3: So give him credit for being ready, being physically ready,

596
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: of course being mentally ready, and have any doubt that

597
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: he would be mentally ready for the game, but just

598
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: being physically ready to be able to go out there

599
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: and play fifty nine snaps and he hasn't played in

600
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: a while.

601
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: All right, Well, that is going to do it for

602
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: us here on this episode of Colts Instant Reaction here

603
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: on the Colts How to Do a Network, Bill and

604
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: I will be back next Sunday. Following the Colts Week

605
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: two matchup against C. J. Stroud and the Houston Texans.

606
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: They lost to the Baltimore Ravens today twenty five to nine.

607
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: That was a score of gambi.

608
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Bill.

609
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know what score gambi is,

610
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: but it's a That was the first time in NFL

611
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: history that score has ever been recorded. Fun fact, really

612
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: five to nine? Yeah, there you go?

613
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: Really in fact, yeah, I would I never would have

614
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: known that. I mean three field goals and then what

615
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: maybe you know, twenty five was there safety points?

616
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: Is a weird score?

617
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: Is weird? So I do Okay, I can see that.

618
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: But nine, eh, that happens. But twenty five.

619
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: I'm just here for the fun facts, you know. I

620
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: always like to sprinkle those in.
