1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: This is Instant Game Reactions, an immediate look back at

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the Colt's latest game. At ten, please at the five

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: looking for the pylon touchdown. Jonathan Taylor a run up

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty three yards to Peter the walk it up field,

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: It's intercepted, picked off by the Colts and it's Darius

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Leonard Winton grows up into the end zone. Sack fast, touchdown, touchdown. Hide.

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Why Now, here's your host, JJ Stankovitz from Colts dot Com. Everyone,

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: and welcome into another edition of Colts Instant Reaction here

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: on the Colts Audio Network. I'm JJ Stacovis, joined by

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Colts Ring of I remember Bill Brooks to break down

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: the Colts forty one to fifteen Yes you heard that right,

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: forty one to fifteen win over the Buffalo Bills on

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Sunday in Western New York. And Bill, there's nowhere else

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: to start here but with Jonathan Taylor and the record

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: setting game. But JT put up five total touchdowns that

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: is a Colts record, thirty two carries for one hundred

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: and eighty five yards. He had the four touchdowns on

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the ground, one through the air. And when you watched

19
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: what Jonathan Taylor did today on those thirty two carries.

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: Bill after the game, he deflected also any sort of spotlight.

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: He was just like, look, this was us, this was us.

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: It was kind of a we not me mentality when

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you watched it. How did the Colts owning the line

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: of scrimmage from the jump allow them to continue to

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: pound the ball the way they did with Jonathan Taylor

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: in this game? Well, I think it allowed them to

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: continue to do it because Buffalo did not have an

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: answer with JT in the offensive line. Buffalo. There's nothing

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: that Buffalo did or try to do that God stop JT.

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: They put some extra people up at the line of

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage try to stop the run. They couldn't do it.

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: JT just kept on going and going and going. And

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: I really believe this game was JT could have ran

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: the ball forty times today and not been tired. I mean,

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: he was just going and going and going. And just

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: one time he came out at the end of the game,

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: I think it might have been his last, not his

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: last rue, but maybe the second and the last run

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: that he kind of waved to the sideline and that

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: was it. But the man was just NonStop. He was

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: just going to go and go and go and go,

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: and he just kept on running. And five point eight

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: yard average for per carry. I mean, that's unbelievable for

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: a young man like that. And as you said, he

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: deflected a lot. It's about we we we. That just

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: shows you the type of person he is, a type

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: of teammate he is, and the type of character he

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: has is all for him, is all about the team

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: and how well everyone is doing. And he knows his

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: success depends on the officive line and other people out there.

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: And he's just been a great, great, great young man

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: for the organization, great teammate and just a superb, superb

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: running back. I thought it was really great if if

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: you go and watch the video we put out on

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: coldstock Com and on the Colts Twitter account of Frank

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: Reich's victory speech, Like when he gives the ball to

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, he gives the game ball to JT. You

58
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: can tell like JT's like, hey, this means a lot

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: to me. But like he then goes into the whole

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you know it's one and oh it's a mountain climb.

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: He clearly is bought into Frank Reich's messaging. And then

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: he talks about we all the time. It's we we we.

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: He gets a little shout out there for Salem High

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: School in New Jersey, gets all the manor that won

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: a state title this week, maybe since the last state title,

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: since they had Leidel Mitchell on their roster um. Crazy

67
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to think to those great Colds running backs have come

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: from the same school. But you can just see like

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: he's he's uncomfortable and right. You know, Frankreich talked about that,

70
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: like he's uncomfortable with that because it's all about the team.

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: It's all about winning. You know, multiple players have said

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: he JT doesn't care if he gets forty carries or

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: two carries, as long as the Colts win the game.

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: And he's the reason why the Coults are winning games

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: right now. But you wouldn't know it by just looking

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: at him, you know. Carson Wentz said you could pass

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: him in the supermarket. You wouldn't know he's a superstar

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: NFL player. He's just a down to earth guy. I

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: think that's his personality. I don't think he wants to

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: be anything else but that someone that's down to earth

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: and you know, he's a very humble guy. And it

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: probably embarrasses him a little bit to get all their

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: recognition and praise and thanks to that nature, so he

84
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: probably wants to deflected as much as he can and

85
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: it keeps him humble and he keeps on just playing well.

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: And I know his teammates love him and they like

87
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: that about him as far as him being a humble

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: individual and just going out there working and working day

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: in and day out. And that's what a leader does.

90
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, leader doesn't have to say a lot. All

91
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: he has to do is go out there and play

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: and play hard, and prepare well and practice hard and

93
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: help his teammates be cess Bowl. And that's who Jonathan

94
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Taylor is. And I think I really think that all

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: their recognition kind of embarrassed him a little bit, and

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: he just wants to deflect it and give everything to

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: his teammates. All right, So let's let's take a dive

98
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: into what JT did today. Because the Buffalo Bill's defense, Bill,

99
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they were the best defense in the NFL

100
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: coming into today. They allowed fifteen points per game. They're

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: allowing three point eight yards per carry, that was third

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: best in the NFL, allowing a league low twenty nine

103
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: percent third down conversion rate. They had only allowed two

104
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: runs of twenty or more yards all season, and one

105
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: of those as a scrambled by Patrick Mahomes. And Jonathan

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: Taylor came in today. He was averaging five point eight

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: yards per carry entering week eleven. He averaged five point

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry in week eleven. Like, how many

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: times can we say Jonathan Taylor, Oh, he's facing a

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: really good defense. It's a big test, without knowing that

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: he's going to pass the test because Jonathan Taylor, it

112
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what defenses in front of him, he is

113
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: still making these same plays week in and week out.

114
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: And that Buffalo front, I know Chremay and Edmonds didn't

115
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: play and no Star Luda Lelee didn't play, but they

116
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: were a really, really good discipline front and Jonathan Taylor

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: by the end of the game, Bill that this is

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: what I want to get into here. By the end

119
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: of the game, Jonathan Taylor was breaking tackles left and

120
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: right against a Bill's team that's really good at tackling.

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: So you've been in games, you know, whether it was

122
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson or some of the other grades you played with.

123
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: When you're able to impose your will, the way the

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Colts were on the ground today. How does that play

125
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: out over the course of a game when you're just

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: winning up front, you're winning at the line on every

127
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: single snap. Well, what happens is, I think what you

128
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: just said earlier, No one wanted to tackle Jonathan Taylor

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: because their will was broken already by the end of

130
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: the game. End of game, the people wanted to just hey, look,

131
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but I don't think they

132
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: want to say no Moss. But I think I think

133
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: they were close to saying that. They just didn't want

134
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: to tackle Jonathan Taylor anymore. Because Jonathan Taylor, even though

135
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: he was so fast, he's still a strong, strong running

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: back and he he puts a hit on people when

137
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: they come up to try to tackle him. He punishes

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: him a little bit. So after a while, after you

139
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: keep on banging on somebody banging on somebody, after a while,

140
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: you know what, you really don't want to tackle him.

141
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: And give the offensive line credit. They went out, they

142
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: imposed it will on the defensive line and as well

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: as the linebackers. And when they do that on a

144
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: play in and play out, all the times the Coats

145
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: ran the ball and ran the ball want forty six times,

146
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: and you continue to do that, that war is on

147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: the defense, and after a while you really don't want

148
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to be in the game anymore because you're getting beat up.

149
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: And so I think the office give credit to the

150
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: officsive line and give of course, created Jonathan Taylor for

151
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, running the ball and running at people and

152
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: running around people and doing all the things that defenses

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: don't like. And he just he just played a wonderful game.

154
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: And defensive, I mean, the officis line did a great job.

155
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: I guess the Buffalo Bill's defense. I thought the play

156
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: that set the tone was the first touchdown that JT had,

157
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: because on that you got Jack Doyle coming across the

158
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: formation and he lays into three hundred and five pound

159
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, and I mean cleanly blocks him

160
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: on that play. But then when JT took that handoff Bill,

161
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: it was like he was at full speed when the

162
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: ball got in his hand. I mean he was he

163
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: was coming downhill on that play, and you look at it.

164
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Tredavious White he's out there. I mean, we're talking about

165
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: an all Pro corner here. Tredavious White is out there.

166
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: He meets Jonathan Taylor at about the one yard line

167
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: and JT just goes right into him, right past him.

168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, it was. That was one of

169
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: those play I stood up, was like, oh, all right,

170
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: the Colts they're bringing it today, and I think the Bills.

171
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: You wonder if the Bills kind of got that sense

172
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: too on that first play. I think a lot of

173
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: people underestimate Taylor's size and strength and speed. And to

174
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Davis White, he went on for a little ride there

175
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: with JT. JT took him into the end zone there

176
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: are and that touchdown, and I'm sure to Davis White said,

177
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: oh man, this guy's a little stronger and powerful than

178
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: we actually thought. And because he doesn't look that imposing

179
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: when you look at him in person, but when he

180
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: starts to run and how hard he runs, I'm sure

181
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: all those defensive backs and linebackers realize that this is

182
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: a powerful young man. So JT just he just he

183
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: just amazed me every week thus far. He's just just

184
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: a young man that's getting better and better every week.

185
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: I said that last week. But they can get much

186
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: better than he already has. But he is getting better,

187
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and he's running harder, and he's he's running all the people.

188
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: And I'm just a big fan of JT because he

189
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: is a humble young man and works hard and works hard,

190
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: and you'd like to see good things happen to young

191
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: people like that that just goes out there and works

192
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: and it's a great teammate and all he cares about

193
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: was best for the team. So the other run that

194
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of defined the game for me was the forty

195
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: yard or he had midway through the third quarter, where

196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's first and ten balls at midfield, and

197
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: first of all, you know the way the Colts blocked

198
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: it up. Moylea Cox did a really nice job on

199
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: that play, kind of sealing off the opening there. So

200
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: did Mark Lewinsky. I mean they read the whole offensive line.

201
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: And this is also with Quenton Nelson out of the game,

202
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: so Chris read over there on the left side. But

203
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: JT burst through the hole. He accelerates him to the

204
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: second level and then there's Jordan Poyer going to tackle him.

205
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: If Poyer tackles him, it's about a fifteen yard game.

206
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: JT breaks that tackle, goes for another fifteen twenty five

207
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: yards on that play, gets down to the ten yard

208
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: next play ten yard touchdown. That was that player where

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, you know, the Colts are

210
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: in great position here because they have successfully they've they've

211
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: taken the will out of the Buffalo Bills to play

212
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: at that point, oh by far. When you when you're

213
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: at the fifty yard line and you take two plays

214
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: to score and both of them running plays, that says

215
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: a lot about your offense and the defense is like, man,

216
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: we're in for a long day if this is going

217
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: to continue. Because that's what the Coast did. The Coast

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 1: is kept on pounding the ball with JT outside, inside,

219
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: whatever it was. And then a couple of times they

220
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: did look jet sweep with Nihim Hines and he gets

221
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: a big play here and there. So they just I mean,

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: those plays that the Coats ran to day were indicative

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: of what the Coats have been working on and saying

224
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: all year long, it's gonna take time. Let's give us time,

225
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: give us time and we'll get we'll get there. We'll

226
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: get there, we'll get there. And they did. And today's

227
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: to day with Jonathan Taylor just rand the ball. Rand

228
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the ball always talked about, well, Jonathan Taylor doesn't get

229
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: the ball that much. Well, he got the ball three

230
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: or two times today as far as running the ball,

231
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: and they had over one hundred and eighty yards. So

232
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: the young man just no matter what you ask of him.

233
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: If you ask him to pick up blitz Is, he's

234
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: gonna do it. You ask him to catch the ball

235
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: at the backfield, he's gonna do it. And you ask

236
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: him to run the ball, he's gonna do that as well.

237
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: He'll do whatever it takes for this team to win

238
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: football games. Yeah, I thought, you know, the whole offensive line.

239
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's Mark Lewinsky, Braden Smith, Quinton Nelson,

240
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: Chris Reid, Eric Fisher, Ryan Kelly, those guys all played

241
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: at a really high level. But also I want to

242
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: give some love to Jack Doyle for the work he

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: put in not only in the run blocking game, but

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: he only led the Colts with three catches. But like

245
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: catching the ball today was not easy. It was not

246
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: a given as we saw with the Buffalo Bills having

247
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: quite a few drops and Doyle just that reliable guy

248
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: is what eighth ninth year with the Colts. You love

249
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: seeing that out of him, clearing the path for Jonathan Taylor,

250
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: making a couple of key catches, when the Colts need it.

251
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, we don't talk about Jack Doyle enough sometimes,

252
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: but you really appreciate the kind of effort he gave

253
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: today in this game. Yeah, Jack's one of those unsung

254
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: heroes that you know what, he might not show up

255
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: in the box scores as far as catching eight, nine,

256
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: ten passes and four, you know, one hundred and some

257
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: ood yards and a touchdown or two touchdowns here and there,

258
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: but he's the guy's gonna make those wham blocks so

259
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: that JT can get there and get up the mail,

260
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: get up the field and get those big yards. And

261
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: Jack did that today, did a nice job blocking out

262
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: there today, and something that he does extremely well and

263
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mind doing it. Of course, most receivers, tight ends,

264
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: backs want to score touchdowns. But you know, Jack did

265
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: his job, but he's supposed to do today as far

266
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: as open up the holes, help open up the holes

267
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: for John and Taylor and the other running backs there.

268
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: And he did a nice job. And you know, you

269
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: talked about making a difference, talking about it was difficult

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: catching the ball today, you know, asked Dawson Knox. I mean, yeah, Dawson.

271
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox for the Buffalo Bill has had a hard

272
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: time catching the ball today. It wasn't easy, but the

273
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: gloves were wet, the ball was wet. It's wendy. The

274
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: balls coming out to you very hard. And asked Josh Allen,

275
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't throw the ball that well today

276
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: at all, um, So it was difficult out there. But

277
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: give the coast credit. And the Coast did a nice

278
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: job of playing in the elements today, Dawson Knox head,

279
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about the elements. Um before I you mentioned wham,

280
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: and I was so. I was listening to the radio

281
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: broadcast with Rick Van Urry and Matt Taylor and they

282
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: were running right. We were running wham so much. I

283
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: was thinking someone's going to make a careless whisper reference. No, no,

284
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: no such luck exactly. George. Let's talk a little bit

285
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: about the conditions Bill, because they were cold, they were wet,

286
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: and the Bills, the Bills had six drop passes. The

287
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: Colts had won in this game. And I asked Jack

288
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Doyle after the game, like did playing in San Francisco

289
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: make you guys a little more prepared? And he said,

290
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: you know a little bit, it gives you a little

291
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: bit of confidence going into this game. He then shouted

292
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: out the Colts equipment staff, you know, for always having

293
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: dry towels in the sideline getting him in the jag,

294
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: those big you know, Darth Vader jackets on the sidelines

295
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: and all that. But the elements really did seem to

296
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: kind of get to the Bills a little bit. And

297
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe it was one of those things, Bill, where things

298
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: weren't going well early on and then the elements just

299
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of compounded that. You played in Buffalo, you know

300
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: what those elements are like. Did you see that kind

301
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: of get in the head of someone like a Dawson

302
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: Knox who had three drops in this game? Yeah, I

303
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: think it was a little bit verse. I mean, when

304
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: I played in Buffalo, it was a team that I

305
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: was coming in that you know, once we try to

306
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: go up on once we get up on him early,

307
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, everything started to bothering them. Not just us

308
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills as far as the way we played,

309
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: but the elements started bothering and it got a little

310
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: colder for him. You know, it was a little wetter

311
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: for him. The field was too slick form all those things.

312
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: So and I think what happened was the Buffalo Bills

313
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: what you think they would want to take advantage of

314
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: it since they played up there, that that's something that

315
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: they used to that. When the Coats got up on

316
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: them early fourteen to nothing, it seemed like the elements

317
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: were bothering in them more than it was bothering the Coats,

318
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: And that was unusual for me to see that for

319
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills team. But you know, those guys they

320
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: didn't handle it. They didn't handle it that well. You

321
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: know they on the on the kick off the turn

322
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: and Mackenzie dropping the ball, fumpling the ball there, and

323
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: you know t J carry picking me up and getting

324
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: the ball way down to the two yard line, so

325
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: it looked like the elements bother them. I remember Dawson

326
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Knox one pass went off his hands. He looked at

327
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: his gloves and kind of rubbed his glove on his shirt,

328
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: and they said that was his hands were wet. So

329
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: usually that's for the Buffalo Bills. It should be a

330
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: way around. But give the coach credit. The Coats were

331
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: used to it. I think Frank Wright had talked about

332
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: practicing in the wendy conditions in Indy here outdoors before

333
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: they went up to Buffalo, so you know, the coach

334
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: were prepared, they're ready for playing in San Francisco also

335
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: help you know, you play there. It was warmer, was wet,

336
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: but it was warmer in San Francisco, and they handled

337
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: the elements very well and they threw the ball extremely

338
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: well in San Francisco. So I think that, as Jack said,

339
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: that gave them some confidence that they can play in

340
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: those type of elements and be successful playing that way.

341
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: Did you talk about that as players, like on the

342
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: sideline when the other team would have those kind of

343
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: unfore stairs I mean, like that Isaiah McKenzie one on

344
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: the kick return. Do you just talk about it like

345
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: you like go back to the sideline and be like, hey,

346
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: they can't handle it, they can't handle it, Like how

347
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: did you approach that? During games? Well, a lot of

348
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: times if something like that happened, or you see a

349
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: player kind of let the cold weather or some type

350
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: of weather the rain affect them as far as in

351
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: their head or if they look like they're just cold

352
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: or they don't want to be out there wet, and

353
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: you could kind of tell body language says a lot

354
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: out there in the football field, and you know, we

355
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: could say pick it up on the sidelines say hey, guys,

356
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to be here. Let's finish this game

357
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: off right now. They really don't want to be here.

358
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes in the third quarter you can see

359
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: that the team is not playing well and elements are

360
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: getting to them that their body language shows that, hey,

361
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: they don't want to be here. They're ready for the

362
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: game to get over with, and we'll say, hey, let's

363
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: send them home early. Let's send these guys home early,

364
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: and let's finish this game off. And and that way

365
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: they can go home early and we could finish this

366
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: game and be done with it. So switching over to

367
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: the what the Colts defense was able to do. Obviously

368
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: three takeaways on defense, the one on special teams stand out,

369
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: but something that George Jodiman Kenny Moore the second talked

370
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: about after the game was that the big key for

371
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the Colts was to successfully rotate Georgeodiman Andrew Sendejo, which,

372
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: by the way, we're talking about two backup safeties here,

373
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: but get them rotated and disguise all these two high

374
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: looks they were playing. Josh Allen did have an answer,

375
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he did not have an answer for the

376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Colts defense in this game there. You know, obviously a

377
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: couple drives where things worked out, but for the most part,

378
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about a guy who threw those

379
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: interceptions and did not look at all like the dynamic,

380
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: MVP front running quarterback that he's been this year, you know,

381
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: just looking at Pro Football Focus their initial grades, this

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen's second lowest graded game of the year,

383
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: behind only that week Week nine game against the Jaguars.

384
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: And I thought, just on a general sense, bill that

385
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: the Colts were able to come up with this defensive

386
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: game plan against a dynamic offense that was getting healthier.

387
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: I know they didn't have you know, Spencer Brown at

388
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: right tackle, but getting Dawson Knox back in this game,

389
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: for what Mattieberflus is able to do with two backup safeties,

390
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: to rotate them and have them play discipline football, and

391
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: if George Jodan pick off a pass and probably pick

392
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: off another, I mean, yes, that was that was just

393
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: so impressive. What the cold trouble to do today in

394
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: the back end, Yes, it was, and I think all

395
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: day to be honest with you, looking at Josh Allen,

396
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: he looked confused or a little lost today. He didn't

397
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: look like the Josh Allen that I've seen before, where

398
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball and he's playing with confidence and

399
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: he's his Biden language shows that he's had he has

400
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: confidence and what's going to happen out there that he

401
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: knows he can get the ball to Stefan Diggs or

402
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley or Dawson Knox for that matter. And but

403
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: it just didn't. He just didn't look very comfortable out there,

404
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it has had to

405
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: do with those guys disguising. He just wasn't comfortable with

406
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: what was happening because he sold a lot of time

407
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: when he threw the ball, especially on that George Jodan

408
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: picked that. You know, George Oden was right there was

409
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: Georgeodam and someone else is right there, uh, with the receiver,

410
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: and the same thing on the Kenney Moore in exception,

411
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore was right there with Kenney with Savior Rhodes.

412
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: So I just think that he didn't look comfortable and

413
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: give give give the coach credit. Whatever Matt eber Flus

414
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: came up with. He did a nice job of disguising things,

415
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: having the guys the skies things to confuse Josh Allens

416
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: for him to not feel comfortable back there. And then

417
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: another thing surprised me is I'm not running the ball

418
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: that much. Yeah, and that that really surprised me. I

419
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: thought they would run the ball a little bit more

420
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: than what they did, but unfortunately, well let me sunfortunately

421
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: for us that it didn't happen that way, but unfortunately

422
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: for them. I thought they should have run the ball

423
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more and kind of mixed things up

424
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But I think maybe getting behind

425
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: so early, they felt that they had to throw the ball.

426
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: You know, I think Bill a lot of times with coaches,

427
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: you get really thrown off your game plan when you're

428
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: not winning up front and you get out to an

429
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: early deficit. Like you know, and the Bills are a

430
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: very past happy offense. They are the most as heavy

431
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: offense on neutral downs in the NFL. I mean they

432
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: throw it like essentially on downs where you could run

433
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: it or pass it, they throw it like seventy percent

434
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: of the time. It's not even close. But in a

435
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: game like this, you know, where the conditions aren't great,

436
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: you've got talented backs. Devin Singletary's a good running back.

437
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: He only had three carries for seventeen yards. Today Matt

438
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Breeda came in five carries for fifty one yards, but

439
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: he was kind of out of hand at that point

440
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen dropping back as much as he did.

441
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: I mean that this was a game though, where I

442
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: want to give credit to the Colts defense, really the

443
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: entire team, the defense, the offense, special teams for taking

444
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, one of the best offensive coordinators in the NFL,

445
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: just taking him out of his rhythm and taking him

446
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: out of his game plan. Because I think if he

447
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: went back and looked at this, he might say he

448
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: probably should have ran it a little bit more. But

449
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: in the flow of the game, sometimes it's hard for

450
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: a play caller to go back to a run when

451
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: you're not winning up front and you're down by fourteen, seventeen,

452
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty one points in the first half. Yeah, and when

453
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: the runs that you call aren't successful, you know, when

454
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: the defensive line is stopping the guys and then getting

455
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: one yard or two yards or getting stopped the line

456
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: of scrimmage for that matter of not getting anything, you

457
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of say, Okay, this play didn't work, so one

458
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: like we're not going to come back to this play,

459
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: or if we do, we will try it maybe one

460
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: or two more times or give them a different look

461
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: and see how it works then. But I just think

462
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: being I think just think the coaches getting up early

463
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: on them really really hurt them. And I've known they've

464
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: I think I heard Josh All I'm talking about it

465
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: before that they really really like to get up early

466
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: on teams and that's something that they have done in

467
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: the past, get up early. So I don't think I think,

468
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken Anna McDermott, I think, if you know,

469
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: usually if they're up at halftime, they have some ridiculous

470
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: win percentage, high win percentage of how many games they

471
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: win in when they're up at halftime, and I think

472
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: today they run up and probably panicked a little bit.

473
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: I think they panck a little bit and wanted to

474
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: throw the ball. And then for the Coats that you know,

475
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: that's made them one dimensional, and that's what you want

476
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: to do with teams. You make them one dimensional, then

477
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: you can do certain things that really even put them

478
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: further back behind the eight ball in a game. I

479
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: think the coach did that today. So I just quickly

480
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: want to go back to Jonathan Taylor here, because as

481
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: we're potting, have been kind of poking around some numbers.

482
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: This from Pro Football Focus. Jonathan Taylor had eleven runs

483
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: against eight or more defenders in the box that we're

484
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: not on gold ghost situations. On those eleven runs, Jonathan

485
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: Taylor gained fifty four yards. That's an average of about

486
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: five yards per carry against boxes that are designed to

487
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: limit you to negative yards per carry. One yard per carry.

488
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if nothing else, this shows how good the

489
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line and offensive front was and how good

490
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: of a running back Jonathan Taylor is. Because to gain

491
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: fifty four yards on eleven attempts against stacked boxes, I

492
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: mean that is that is a butt kicking by the

493
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: Colts offense by far as a buck kicking by the

494
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Coats office. And give the offensive line credit. You know,

495
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: these guys are starting to the guys are starting to

496
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: get healthy, and all of them starting to play together,

497
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: getting more time together, guys, you know, Kelly Glewinsky, Smith prior,

498
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: all those guys up there, Nelson, So all those guys

499
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: are doing their job and making big plays. And of

500
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: course Fish, you're out there at tackle as well. So

501
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: those guys playing together for a lot longer is making

502
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: it easier for him. And then of course Jonathan Taylor.

503
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: So I think the health of the offensive line, Jonathan

504
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: Taylor playing well. Those guys they saw eight men's fronts

505
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: and actually they didn't flinch. You know, those guys did

506
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: not flinch up front when Jonathan Tail didn't flinch, and

507
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: either did Carson Wentz. He saw those eight man's fronts

508
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: up there, so you just, hey, you guys want to

509
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: do it. If you can stop it, great, If you can't,

510
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: which I don't think you guys can's gonna run the

511
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: ball and they couldn't. I mean when someone averages a

512
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: five yards against the eight man front, that's I mean,

513
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: those are numbers that I've never heard before. Now, if

514
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: someone said they averaged about three yards and say that's great, Yeah,

515
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: you have three yards against eight man front. You do

516
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: that three times, you got nine yards and you know

517
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: it's fourth and one, so you might go for it.

518
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: But when you average five yards, that's that's saying a

519
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: lot about the office line and they're running back well,

520
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: and it says a lot about the quarterback too, because

521
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: they mentioned Carson Wentz is getting up to the line

522
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: and he's seeing all right, got eight guys in the box.

523
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: You know what, JT take the ball because we're gonna

524
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: win on this play. And that that says a lot

525
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks confidence in his running back, the d

526
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the coaching staff's confidence in the running back in the

527
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: run game. I mean, I am just like sitting here

528
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: being like I can't believe what I just saw. Like

529
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: my my eyes, Bill, no one can see this. This

530
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: is a podcast, but my guys were like bulging when

531
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: I pulled up this stat I was like, how is

532
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: this possible? Did I do this right? Am? I? Like?

533
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: Did I? Did? I put in the wrong numbers here?

534
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: But it's I mean and then all by the way,

535
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: all four of Jonathan Taylor's rushing touchdowns came with eight

536
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: men in the box. I mean that that right there, Bill,

537
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: That's how you win forty one to fifteen on the

538
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: road against the Buffalo Bills. You also win by turning

539
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: four turnovers into twenty one points. The last one was

540
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin picking off Mitch Trubisky. Shout out to Mitch

541
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: for giving me some some throwback memories to my old

542
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: job covering the Bears on that sick desire Franklin, but uh,

543
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: you know it was. This is the kind of game

544
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: where all three phases one in just resounding fashion, and

545
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: it really just does speak to the buy in this

546
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: entire team has with the mantra frank Reich has of

547
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: going one to oh, you're climbing the mountain. Look. I

548
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: know people listen to this may say, oh, well that's stupid,

549
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: that's just you know, that's just you know, some trite

550
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: whatever athlete coach speak or whatever it is. But that's

551
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: real and these guys have bought into it. That's how

552
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: you come back from oh and three and one in

553
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: four to go beat the Buffalo Bills forty one to fifteen.

554
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: And people might say it's coach speaking everything, and it

555
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: is coach speaking. I'm not gonna say it's not coach speak.

556
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: It is coach speak. But the thing is, those are

557
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: the things you have to get across the young guys

558
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: because it is one game at a time. You cannot

559
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: do anything about game two weeks from now, I think

560
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: you could control. Is a game that's ahead of you

561
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: right now, and today was a game against the Buffalo Bills.

562
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: They can't think about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going on

563
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: playing next week. They have to think about the game

564
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: right now, and then you have to think about each

565
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: play right now, and those things you have to do.

566
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: So you go each week as it comes, and as

567
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: they say it's one and oh, try to be one

568
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: and oh this week and do the best you can.

569
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: And they are buying into it. And that's what you

570
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: need to do because right now, the way the Coats

571
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: are and way it's all, all these teams are bunched together,

572
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: and the AFC is you only could take care of

573
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: what's in front of you. You can't worry about what's

574
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: going on somewhere else, what other teams are doing, if

575
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: they're winning or losing. The only thing you can can

576
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: control is what's in front of you. Worry about what's

577
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: in front of you. Played that game and they coasted

578
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: that today. They just focused on this game today. You know,

579
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: there was that everything out everyone talking about, you know,

580
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: the coach having't been a winning team, and the O

581
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: and eight and things like that. Well it was true,

582
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: but the coach focused on what they could do today.

583
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: They went out there today, played well, didn't give up

584
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: a sack on our offense. They had one, but they

585
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: got a penalty. Buffalo got a penalty. They did fumble

586
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: the ball, but they recovered it. They did a nice

587
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: job out there, playing pretty much mistake free football. Special

588
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: teams comes up with a big play again this week.

589
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Defense does a nice job. They get four turnovers. Offense scores,

590
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Defense gets a turnover. Offensive plays complimentary football by taking

591
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: three of those turnovers, scoring touchdowns with it. That's how

592
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: you win football games. But doing that in all three phases,

593
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: and if you could do that for sixty minutes, which

594
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: the coach did today, which was great to see them

595
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: play the full sixty minutes, that's how you win football games.

596
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: And that's what the Coats have to focus on here

597
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: on out. All Right, well, we are going to focus

598
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: on wrapping up this game and then next weekend's huge
