We'll discuss the 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: slow starts. We'll discuss the lack of pass rush through 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: two games, the wide receiver position, and why the Jags 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: continue to get the best of the Colts at home, 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: even on the road for that matter, for both ways. 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: So we're gonna look at that, and it's big picture stuff. 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Twenty four nothing, matey. When it comes down to it, 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: we are winless through two games. We're shut out for 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: the first time in a game since twenty eighteen. Oh 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: happened to take place in Jacksonville again. Now the schedule 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: starts to get a little meaty for these Colts. Next 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: five games, real quick reminder, Chiefs, Titans, Broncos, Jaguars again 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: and the Titans again. So, matey, the buzz saw it waits. 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: But I'm here to just say this, everybody, take a 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: quick breath. Okay, just including breath me too, But take 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: a quick breath because the bottom line is a tall 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: order of waits. And I use that phrase a lot. 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: But they have had success against Kansas City, and you 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: steady this ship with a win at home against one 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: of the elite programs in the National Football League, which 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: we've seen them do before, and everything's okay, maytay, but 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I want to go back to Jacksonville real quick. Let's 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: talk about three and out with Matt Taylor, the voice 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: of the Colts. Why are these colts, Matt, Why are 42 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: our colts getting outplayed so outplayed early in these contests? 43 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: When you get out play as bad as the Colts 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: did on Sunday, you know, you're down seventeen to nothing 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: in the second half, doesn't go your way, ultimately end 46 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: up losing twenty four to zero. It's everything, I mean, 47 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: everything has to be examined at that point. It's it's players, Jeffrey, 48 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: it's coaches, it's personnel, it's game plan. It's also just 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: intensity and fire. To start a game. People say all 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: the time, you got to get off to a good start, 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: get off to a good start, and everything will be fine. Well, 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: sometimes the only way to get off to a good 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: start is just playing well, get off to a good start. 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's sometimes it's as simple as that. 55 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: Be focused in, be dialed in, execute, And the Colts 56 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: didn't do that to start this game. You had a 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: pick on the first drive of the game the Jaguars, 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: then Jeffrey on their first possession, they going didn't they 59 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: have a third and nine, they converted. They went on 60 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: a fifteen play drive, they got a touchdown, and you 61 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: had multiple chances to get off the field a couple 62 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: of third downs. They even went forward on fourth down 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: on that first drive, and you couldn't get the job done. 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence got into a rhythm early. The Colts were 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: never able to make him feel uncomfortable all game long. 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: The Colts were controlled on both sides of the ball, 67 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: especially on first and second down. The Colts were backed 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: into a lot of third and longs on offense. They 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: were two for ten on third down when they had 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: the ball. And then the Jaguars just ball controlled the 71 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: heck out of the Colts. They had the ball Jacksonville, 72 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: that is, had the ball for seventeen and a half 73 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: more minutes. The Jags for the game had the ball 74 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: for thirty eight minutes. I mean, I can't remember the 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: last time the Colts defense played that much and the 76 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: offense he only had fifty plays, That's what I was 77 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna say, own only fifty plays. You'd like to see 78 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: that North by fifteen twenty four plays than they do 79 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: in a traditional game. But that's Matt Taylor, the voice 80 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: of the Colts, are talking about the Colts getting outplayed early, 81 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: and he's absolutely correct. Down twenty to three last week 82 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: and twenty four oh on Sunday in Jacksonville down. I mean, 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: it's combined forty four to three deficit, and things have 84 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: to change, and I would hope that they would change. 85 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: We wouldn't get so much talk about the defensive line 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: at this part part of the season. It's just part 87 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: of the schedule. But Matt where I mean, just flat out, 88 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: where is our pass rush at currently right now? Well, 89 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: you have to give Jacksonville credit because they had a 90 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: really good game plan against the Colts going in. And 91 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: it's discouraging because it's pretty much the same offense. Jacksonville 92 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: has the same offense the Colts have, and the Colts 93 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: see that every day in practice, or at least they 94 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: did see it every day in practice in training camp 95 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: because the Doug Peterson offense is very similar to the 96 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: Frank Reich offense. And it's no surprise, right they had 97 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: the similar mind and you know, spent all those years 98 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles, won a Super Bowl, and they 99 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: did a really good job of moving Lawrence out of 100 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: the pocket. They did a good job of the quick 101 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: throws on first and second down to stay out of 102 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: third and long situations. They set up the screen game nicely, 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of advantage defensive situations for the 104 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: Colts to kind pin their ears back and get after 105 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback. The Colts have played about nine quarters, including 106 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: the overtime game against the Houston Texans and Jeffrey, they've 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: really only generated a pass rushing and one of them. 108 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: So I thought the pass rush would be a strength 109 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: of this team, and so far it's been neutralized. You know, 110 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: unique in Goakway. He hasn't been able to win against 111 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsil and Cam Robinson. Those are two pretty good 112 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: left tackles right out of the gate. I understand that 113 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: DeForrest Buckner hasn't broken free yet. So give credit to 114 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: the Colts that they're doing a good job stopping the run. 115 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, through two games, they're giving up 116 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: less than three yards per carry, but they've got to 117 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: get themselves into more advantage situations on defense. They're giving 118 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: up in the secondary two seventy one completion percentage through 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: two games, and that that's exactly what's happened in the past. 120 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: And the Colts are right back there giving up easy 121 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: completions on first and second down, you know, third and short, 122 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: not being able to get after the quarterback because of 123 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: quick throws and momentum by the opposing quarterbacks. I mean 124 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Davis Mills and try for Lawrence. These are not at 125 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: least not yet. These are not the elite of the elite. 126 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: So easy completions and third and shorts are really killing 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: and neutralizing the cults. Pass round. We need to get 128 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: to Forrest, go going. He knows that. He said right 129 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: after the game, Hey, we played like bleep filling the 130 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: blank there and have done it for a couple of 131 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: weeks in a row. He's an elite players. He knows 132 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: he has to turn it up. And Guavers brought here 133 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: for a reason, knows he has to turn it up. 134 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: Quit he pay a good first game, especially in that 135 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: fifth quarter against the Texans, needs to know he pick 136 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: it up. We are getting Shack Leonard back soon. I 137 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: don't know whether it's against the Chiefs. I don't know 138 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: whether it's the following thing like that that will have 139 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: some sort of impact. Absolutely, but the defense, Matt and 140 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: they know up in this Gus Bradley scheme needs to 141 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: step up. And we do have the athletes on that 142 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: side of the ball. So fingers are crossed bro We. 143 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: I mean, think about this one real quick. Trevor Lawrence 144 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: was six of eight on third downs in the first 145 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: half at the I mean that momentum, bro. You cannot 146 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: get him off the field on third down. That's gonna 147 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: go downhill in a bad way real quick. So while 148 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: we're there, let's talk about a little protection issue, may say, 149 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: protecting Matt Ryan. He's been hit a lot, he's been interceptualize, 150 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: he's got one TD. The protection issues starting at the 151 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: left tackle position, with Matt pryor Bernard Ryman getting some 152 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: reps in there, what's your Well, where we at right now? 153 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Because we are paying this offensive line and they are 154 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: elite and they've proven in the back obviously with the 155 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: way Jonathan Taylor ran the ball last year. So where 156 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: are we right now with this veteran offensive line? Now? 157 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: You bring up a good point because if you look 158 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: at Matt ryan stats so far, some are gonna say, whoa, whoa, whoa, 159 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: He's he's not getting the job done. Because through two games, 160 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: thirty first in passer rating, twenty second in completion percentage, 161 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: and he's tied with those four picks. But he's been 162 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: under a lot of durests in the Colts, as you said, Jeffrey, 163 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: have invested a lot in that offensive line and the 164 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: pressure has come from everywhere so far in two games 165 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: at left tackle right still experimenting with Bernard and Ryman 166 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: and Matt Pryor. What does the future hold there? I 167 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: mean that's something that we talked about in the offseason 168 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: and training camp, and maybe that is bubbling up to 169 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: the surface where now you need to think about how 170 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: you handle that left tackle situation. And the Cults are 171 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: having a hard time also blocking stunts and blocking twists 172 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: in those text games. You know where the defensive end 173 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: is coming in the overall, you know, push in the 174 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: running game just hasn't been there like it was last 175 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: year with Jonathan Taylor. Matt Ryan doesn't seem as comfortable 176 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: in the pocket because he's been under a lot of pressure. 177 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: He's trying to escape and that's what the Colts are 178 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: going to have to deal with, I think, for the 179 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: majority of the season. Because teams know Ryan is not 180 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: the most mobile guy at age thirty seven at quarterback. 181 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: They have to do a better job of picking up 182 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Blitz is understanding where the line games are coming from. 183 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Because teams are going to continue to do that until 184 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: the Colts Burnham with something else by picking up the 185 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: blitz and and gashing teams with blitz pick up and 186 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: underneath quick rhythm timing throws to neutralize that. You just 187 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: hit eleven total times and finished with a thirty four rating, 188 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: the third lowest in Matt Ryan's two hundred and twenty 189 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: four game career. So, matey, let's wind this up, put 190 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: this thing in a ball and make some sense of it. 191 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: We're getting out played early. We need to pass, rush 192 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: to step up, and we need protection. Find the good. 193 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: Give me a couple of minutes on finding the good 194 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: and what this team can do, how they can turn 195 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: it around. Well, you just got to look at yourself 196 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: in the mirror. I mean, this season is still young 197 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of you know, national prognosticators before the 198 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: season started had the Colts eleven twelve games, and that 199 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: included winning the first two games of the season against 200 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: the division. And now, as you said, the schedules heating 201 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: up Chiefs, Titans, Broncos on a short week coming up 202 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football. The Colts have been here before, right, 203 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: They've climbed out of one in five they've started one 204 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: in four and made a push for the playoffs. And listen, 205 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: the division's not good. No, the AFC South is not good, right. 206 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: The Jaguars avantage Colts for that. I mean, if starting 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: out slowing and dragging your heel like, we are a 208 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: advantage Colts. There. The Jaguars are in first place. They 209 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: have a one and one record. They're the only team 210 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: through two games in this a FC South division that 211 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: has a win, so and they're not I mean, listen, 212 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are greatly improved and not trying to take 213 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: anything away from that performance on Sunday because they took 214 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: it to the Colts and they deserve all of the 215 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: praise that they're getting because they looked fantastic. But they're 216 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: not going to run away from anybody in this division. Okay, 217 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: they're not gonna win the Super Bowl. I'm just calling 218 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: it right now. So there's still plenty of time. The 219 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: AFC South is still there. But listen, the Colts are 220 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: at a fork in the road right through two games. 221 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: There is a fork in the road, whatever you want 222 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: to call it. They're at a turning point, they're at 223 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: the breaking point, whatever you want to say it. I 224 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: didn't think you would you would be at that this early, 225 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: but they're at a turning point. This is a big 226 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: point in this season. They can go one of two 227 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: ways right now with that schedule heating up and it's 228 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: your home opener. The Kansas City Chiefs are two and oh. 229 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: They've made four straight AFC championship games. One of the 230 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the game, he's not going anywhere. This 231 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: is a big point of the season and we'll see 232 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: how things kind unfold from here. No, Tyreek Hill another 233 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: advantage Colts. Thank you for going to Miami on that one. 234 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: But Matt, they have had success against this Kansas City 235 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs team in the past. Not a huge month, but 236 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: they have had It doesn't matter. Anything can happen any 237 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: given Sunday. I know that's an old cliche, but they 238 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: can match up here. It's a different environment. They're at home. 239 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, it's time to step up and protect 240 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: our turf. We can take down Mahomes and it's easier 241 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: said than done. But once again, you do that, you 242 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: take care of business at home. You are one, one 243 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: and one and in the driver's seat, especially with your division, 244 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: and then you can develop and find out what this 245 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: offense is, find out how this defense massures and molds 246 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: when Shaquille Leonard is back in it. So that's what 247 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Take it slow, take it one game at 248 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: a time. As is three and out with Mayta the 249 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: Voice of the Colts. I appreciate you sitting down, hang 250 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: tight for a minute. I'm gonna bring JJ Stankovitz and 251 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: Lara Overton in and get their outlook for what happened 252 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: last Sunday and what we're looking for against the KC Chiefs. 253 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I like this may take three and out. Stay tuned 254 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: three and out. I'm out of here. JJ and Lara, 255 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: you're up. They are coming in hot right now.

Larah Overton, I'm 270 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: gonna start with you. Colts have played two games this season. 271 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: Some of the areas of uncertainty going in the season, 272 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: We've already highlighted them. Do we know definitely? Definitively and 273 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: definitely what some of the areas are either good or bad? 274 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: What I'm talking about? The Colts played in Jacksonville without 275 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: two starters at wide receiver and Alec Pierce. They produced 276 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: eight catches this wide receiver group for one hundred and 277 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: twenty six yards and just one catch in the first 278 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes of the game. Do we know yet 279 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: how our depth is behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. 280 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: I think it's still too soon to know yet. You 281 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: certainly have not gotten the production from the rest of 282 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: those guys that you would have liked to have seen. 283 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: To this point in the season. I do think that 284 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: Ashton Doolan has provided some bright spots. But one of 285 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: the things about the situations that some of your receivers 286 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: were in, I mean, we noted here in preparation for 287 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: the podcast, there was a big drop on third down 288 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: by Desmond Patman, Mike Strawn had a pre snap penalty, 289 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell had a PI. No catches for Paris Campbell. 290 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: One of the things to take into consideration with the 291 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: lack of production by your wide receivers last Sunday in 292 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the fact that your quarterback was under duress 293 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: for a heavy portion of that football game. So really 294 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: you were forcing a lot of things offensively, you got 295 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: behind on the chains, you were trying to catch up 296 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: over the course of that game again got down to 297 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: a deficit. So I think the scenarios have played to 298 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: the point where you haven't had your wide receivers in 299 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: great position in a lot of these first two contests, 300 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: So that makes it even more critical to get out 301 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: to a better start established that offensive rhythm early on. 302 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: I was encouraged early on when that first big gain 303 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: went to niem Hines and you started to see some production. 304 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: I really thought that that was what we would see 305 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: more of. I thought you would get a lot more 306 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: activity from niim Hines. And of course we heard the 307 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: explanation from Coachwich that because you had the ruling out 308 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: of Michael Pittman so late in the week, you weren't 309 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: able to make as many adjustments maybe as you thought 310 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: in terms of scripting more things for nihim Hines. So 311 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: it does seem encouraging that this injury for Michael Pittman 312 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: is going to hopefully be a one game miss for him. 313 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: And also worth noting Alec Pierce just didn't have enough 314 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to progress through in the protocol, the concussion protocol. 315 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: He was there on the sidelines in Jacksonville, so that's 316 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: encouraging as well. You know, if he's there, if he's president, 317 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: if he's involved, that hopefully you get those opportunities over 318 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: the course of this week's that he by the end 319 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: of the week is a full going, cleared JJ crack 320 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: this egg that is a wide receiver unit of the 321 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. We gotta get another, we gotta get Alec 322 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: Pierce back on the field, and obviously Michael Pittman don't 323 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: forget eight catches for one hundred and twenty six yards 324 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: for Michael Pittman in Houston. So I'm saying like he's 325 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: out of the lineup. Obviously that cupboard is bear in 326 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: that department, but makes some sense to this. So here's 327 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: my explanation of why this guy is not falling, And 328 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: it kind of goes into what Lara was just talking 329 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: about with with Alec Pierson Michael Pittman Junior. Last week 330 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: the Colts Frank Creich said, the Colts thought on Thursday 331 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: that both those guys are going to play. Then they 332 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: get to Friday, Alec Pierce is not able to get 333 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: through the concussion protocol, which is of no fault of anyone's. 334 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: It just happens with concussions. Then he gets to Saturday, 335 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior is not able to go with the quad. 336 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, now you don't you don't 337 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: have time to totally rework your game plan that probably 338 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: in a passing attack, was built around those two guys, 339 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: and that then that is a challenge and it it's 340 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: not an excuse though, that's something that the Colts emphasize that, hey, 341 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: this was a challenge It's not an excuse because you 342 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: need the next men up to be the next men up. 343 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: But when you are are scheming things up, you know specifically, 344 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, with a guy like Michael Pittman Junior, who 345 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: can do so many things, who can move around to 346 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: so many different spots, He's not just and next. He's 347 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: not just an outside receiver. He's not just a slot. 348 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: He can play every single receiver position. That becomes a 349 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: little more difficult to say, Hey, Desmond Patman, go in 350 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: and be Michael Pittman Junior in this game because of 351 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: all the different things pitt can do. And this also 352 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: goes to the run game, where Michael Pittman Junior is 353 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: such an important part of the Colts run game and 354 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: what they can get to when he's on the field, 355 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: especially when he's in the slot. So, having said all 356 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: of that, the way that last week played out, I 357 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: think was kind of this perfect storm for the offense 358 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: to look a little bit discombobulated in terms of their 359 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: wide receivers as the game went on. I don't think 360 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: we know yet with this group. You still have some 361 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: young guys, you still have some different levers the Colts 362 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: can pull. I think you know, Frank Creik talked about 363 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: it in getting naihim more involved outside of the game script, 364 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: which is where Naim early in the game got a 365 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: couple touches. Then when they got outside the script, he 366 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: did not get involved as much. That could be an 367 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: area that the Colts emphasize, all right, we want to 368 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: get him involved outside of those first fifteen plays to 369 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: pull that lever. But the other part of it is 370 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: the Colts weren't able to get to the run game. 371 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: You know, when you, like Lara said, when you're behind 372 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: the chains and you're now facing a lot of third 373 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: and lungs that you're not converting, it's hard to get 374 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor involved. It's hard because you know, you love 375 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: to pick up a first down and then get JT 376 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: the ball and kind of keep that momentum going. But 377 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: the Colts were just not picking up those first downs 378 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. This feels like a for Jonathan Taylor, specifically 379 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: a one week aberration. He hadn't had fewer than ten 380 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: carries in a game since I think is rookie year. 381 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: So he's going to get more involved that internal then 382 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: help the wide receivers, will help the passing offense. Will 383 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: help the offensive line all kind of collectively with this group. 384 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: You said offensive line, Lara, I mean that passing game 385 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: is dependent on that offensive line really quick. We've got 386 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: seven sacks allowed, we've got four interceptions, we've got one 387 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: TD over a quarterback. One thing that I went back 388 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: to is having a conversation earlier and I talked with 389 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: and this was back to last season. This wasn't even 390 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: even this season, but I still think it holds true. 391 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: I had a conversation with Quentin Nelson about a number 392 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: of different things, and one of the things I asked 393 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: him was how long does it typically take to truly 394 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: find out the identity of a team, to really establish 395 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: who you are? And he said, it's really week three, 396 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: kind of week four, that's maybe even week five, because 397 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: it is such a long season and it does take 398 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: those early contests to establish certain things within your offense, 399 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: in particular when you're working with a new quarterback. Yet again, 400 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: and also worth noting this year, you have new pieces 401 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: on that offensive line. Danny Pinter is starting, Matt Pryor 402 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: is starting. So although you have those pillars of the 403 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: offensive line Quentin Nelson, Ryan, Kelly, Braden Smith, there are 404 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: some new things working in there, and they're also trying 405 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: to get up to speed with their new quarterback and 406 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: then also lifting up elevating the wide receiver weapons that 407 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: they have on the depth chart as well. So that's 408 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: one of the things that was encouraging to me is 409 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: I still feel like that they are finding their way 410 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: and establishing really that cohesiveness, that continuity that you would expect. 411 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: I got some stuff on the offensive line later for 412 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: our mail bag. Nice, But just to kind of piggyback 413 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: off of what Lara said about finding your identity, I mean, 414 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: I think it was Bill Belichick who said the first 415 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: four weeks of a season are kind of an extension 416 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: of the preseason. No matter how much you play your 417 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: starters or you don't play your starters in the preseason, 418 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: the first four weeks are where you figure a lot 419 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: of stuff out about your team. So before we hit 420 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: the panic button on this team on the start of 421 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: the season, let's get through week four, week five to 422 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: see where this team is, what they can do to 423 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: correct their mistakes from the Jacksonville game and move on 424 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: from it. I mean, look, it's a long season, but 425 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: it's only a long season if you make those corrections 426 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: early and then kind of find your identity once October 427 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: Al Davis is dead. But I'll still quote them. Just 428 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: win baby, we need one, one and one after the 429 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: chief quote Ted people all the time. It doesn't it's 430 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: okay to do that, right, Yeah, okay, I'm sorry about 431 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: that if I yeah, thanks thanks to the Buffalo Bill's 432 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: massacre of the Tennessee Titans. There's everything's still out ahead 433 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: of you and advantage Colts. This is do you know 434 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: we had? Do you know yet? Number one? We got 435 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: do you know yet? Number two? At JJ stake if 436 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: it's on Twitter at larra over ten on Twitter, JJ, 437 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: I go back to you do we know yet? Culture 438 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: two games, they've allowed seventy one percent completion percentage. They 439 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: came into the season last in the NFL and completion 440 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: percentage allowed since twenty eighteen. Trevor Lawrence last two outings 441 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: ripped us up forty eight for sixty two or seventy 442 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: seven percent, almost five hundred yards, four tds, no picks, 443 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: one sixteen passer rating the Colts defense, JJ under Gosh Bradley. 444 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: I know he's a new coordinator working with new players. 445 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: We haven't seen much yet from in ghakway we've gotten 446 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: a little from Quiddy pay DeForrest Buckner's even self said, hey, 447 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: I need to step up our defense. Does do we 448 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: know yet with this Gosh Bradley defense. No, because it's 449 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: two weeks into the season with a new defense, a 450 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: new coordinator. I think, you know, like DeForest said, you 451 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: want to get more out of the pass rush, but 452 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is getting the ball out. His average time 453 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: to throw in this game was two point three seconds, 454 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: so he was getting it out quick. And that's how 455 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: you neutralize a pass rush as you get the ball 456 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: out quick. So you know, I think on the back end, 457 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the Colts coverage, you know, they for the most part 458 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: kept things in front of them in this game, prevented 459 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: the explosive play. The run defense looks really good. Grover 460 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: Stewart has been very good. The Colts are second in 461 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: yards per carry allowed this season so far. I think 462 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: you probably you want to see this defense just start 463 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: to come together. But I think we maybe got a 464 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: little bit ahead of ourselves before the season of not 465 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: considering some of the growing pains that just naturally come 466 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: with playing a new scheme with a new defensive coordinator. 467 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: And a new coaching staff. Those things do happen when 468 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: you change over that much on that side of the 469 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: ball in terms of coaching and scheme. Do we know yet? 470 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Grover Stewart. I'm gonna go to you 471 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: with this one, Lara, because we call it to coltsop 472 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: close look all right, and that is a look at 473 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: Grover Stewart. The reason I'm saying is he's been your 474 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: guy since we've gret he has been your guy. You've 475 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: always been a big fan president of the Grover Stewart 476 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Bank Club, and he is rewarding you because he's playing 477 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: great football. Right now, give us something on the big grove. Well, 478 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, consistency, that's what you're getting out of 479 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: Grover Stewart. He has been that one force, that consistent 480 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: force upfront that you have gotten to this point in 481 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: the season. And that's what you've you've come to expect 482 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: from him. I want to go back. I'm like, want 483 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: to talk to Quitty pay now. I'm gonna have to 484 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: search through my notes, So give me a minute when 485 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: I go back to it to what Quitty said about 486 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: him last week. But when we go back to that 487 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: initial question of do we know yet, Yeah, we know 488 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: it's not enough. That's what we know about this defense. 489 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: They're not giving you enough. I think you expected to 490 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: get a lot more consistent pressure off the edge. That's 491 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: why you brought in Unique and Goakway. I also think 492 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: that you have seen this secondary have opportunities for takeaways 493 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: and not come up with them. You know it was 494 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: you saw Stephan Gilmour, I want to say in week 495 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: one he was able to trap the ball rather than 496 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: rail it in. And then you saw Julian Blackman near 497 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: had to pick gotta have it. So it's been You've 498 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: seen these little opportunities and you just haven't been able 499 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: to clench them. And so that's one of the things 500 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: that you have not gotten enough from. But there's a 501 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: great opportunity ahead of you, of course this week. So 502 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: I had Quitti Pay in studio coming off of that 503 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: great overtime performance that he had in Houston. One of 504 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: the guys I asked him about was Grover Stewart can't 505 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: spit it out. He called him a one man wrecking crew. 506 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: He said he can take over a game by himself. 507 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: We are coming off the ball, attacking every play, and 508 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: certainly Grover has been that guy who has been attacking 509 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: up front. Now you need the rest of those guys 510 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: to get to the level where Grover has been playing. 511 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: And one of the other things to take into consideration 512 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: of what we know about this defense so far, it's 513 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: been a defense that has had to play thus far 514 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: without your all pro Shaquille Leonard. So that's another thing 515 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: that this defense will look different when you do have 516 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: the maniac in the game and you think that hopefully 517 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: this week is the opportunity for him to get to 518 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: do that. I also just want to see this defense 519 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: play with the lead. They haven't played with the lead 520 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: all year. You're right, that's you know, if you're gonna 521 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback and you're gonna pin your ears 522 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: back as a pass rushing unit, playing with the lead 523 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: usually helps with that. Yeah, these guys know they need 524 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: to step up. We did mention in Ghaquay, We mentioned 525 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: Stefine Gilmore, we mentioned DeForrest Buckner's or other guys. Larry, 526 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: You're soul right, the defense, the whole vibe, the mood 527 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: changes when fifty three is out there and Shaquille Letter 528 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully knock on Wood. It's this week This is 529 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: the Cult's official podcast. Were brought to you by our 530 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: friends at when Bat JJ stankommits from Colts dot Com. 531 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: Later Overton is here. We're gonna bring Meyte back in 532 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: because JJ, we go to the Twitter mail bag, and 533 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: I want everybody to spit around this Twitter mail bag 534 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: question because I think it pertains a little bit to 535 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: the offensive line that we were talking about earlier. All right, 536 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: so our Twitter mail bag question this week comes from 537 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: loyal listener Terry Nance one two four on Twitter. Terry, 538 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: I think I've got too many questions this week. JJ. 539 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: Do you think that this offensive line is the same 540 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: as it was last year? As far as production seems 541 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: like since the last game in Jacksonville last year, they 542 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: haven't been the same. Maybe time to add or subtract, 543 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: then add I don't know, shrug emoji. I get it. 544 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: The pass rush has not been up to the Colt standard. 545 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: That they are not playing the five as one way 546 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: that this offensive line wants to play. They had some 547 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: issues with some stunts against Jacksonville where guys are going 548 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: gap to gap on the defensive line. But here's why 549 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: I am not ready to hit the panic button on 550 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yet, if this offensive line was just 551 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: a total disaster or couldn't block anyone, you wouldn't just 552 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: see it on third down. You would see it on 553 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: first and second down. So the Colts on first and 554 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: second down. Their pass blot grade, according to Pro Football Focus, 555 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: was like seventy one point two on first and second 556 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: down against Jacksonville. That's not bad. It's not what the 557 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: standard needs to be, but it is not a disaster. 558 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: That's the fine. Braden Smith and Ryan Kelly both played 559 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: well on those snaps. They both did not allow a pressure. 560 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: According to Pro Football Focus, Quittin Nelson was tacked with 561 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: a sack that came on a bit of a stunt 562 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: where a defensive end looped around. I don't know how 563 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: it was coached, but Bernard Ryman and Quinton Nelson were 564 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: on one guy and another guy came free, So I 565 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: don't know if Ryman needed to get over to the 566 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: pass rusher who was kind of loop psych that's what 567 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: it's said on PF. I don't know if that's totally accurate. Again, 568 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: the only people who know that are Chris Strosser and 569 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: the coachs coaching staff. So I don't want to totally 570 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: speculate on that, but it's these are issues that if 571 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: your issues are with communication on the offensive line, those 572 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: are more fixable than if the issue is with talent 573 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. The talent on the Colt's offensive 574 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: line is still good. I understand a lot of the 575 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: questions about some of the players on it. The talent 576 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: overall is still good. You clean up the communication stuff, 577 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: you deal with some of those stunts in those games 578 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: a little bit better. This offensive line will be okay. 579 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: They will be fine. They might even be really good 580 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: in terms of past protection as the season goes out later. 581 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: The guard position we're talking about Danny Pinter in there, 582 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: the tackle position, Matt Pryor on the offensive line with 583 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: some spells to Bernard Ryman. Yeah, and that's a group 584 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: that you know, kind of we cover this, you know 585 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: before they're coming together, they're working together. They'll figure it out. 586 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: You know, you've got the guys up front to get 587 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: the job done. You have your you have quentn Nelson, 588 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: who is a captain on this team. He Matt Ryan, 589 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Those guys will help kind of band that 590 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: group together and figure things out and get to where 591 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: they need to be a lot of general managers may 592 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: tell out there on social media and on the Internet, 593 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: a lot of general managers saying, just put Briard Ryman 594 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: in and let them get comfortable. Well, let them get 595 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: beat a little bit, let them get better, YadA YadA. 596 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: The offensive line as a whole. Right now, you've seen 597 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: a lot of good ones come through here. And those 598 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: three guys that JJ mentioned, I'm talking about Ryan, Kelly, 599 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: Quintin Nelson, that they are they are taking care of guys. 600 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: They are saying, hey, we have got these guys in 601 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: our back pocket, their core foundational guys, and it starts 602 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: with the offensive. I do agree with what JJ said 603 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: that sort of piggybacks off of what we talked about earlier. 604 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: You had just no continuity up front on Sunday because 605 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: the Colts had eleven possessions, only three of them involved 606 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: more than seven plays, Right, so you are not very 607 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: good in the red zone, not very good on third down, 608 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: first and second down. Had a lot to do with that, 609 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: and JJ's exactly Ryan, You're gonna see those text games, 610 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna see those line stunts, those twists until you 611 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: get it figured out. Because people are coming after Matt 612 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: Ryan trying to get him, you know, to be buried 613 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: in the pocket because he's not the most mobile guy. 614 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: Now you've got to make changes. Now you've got to 615 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: really hone in on the playbook and study your opponent 616 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: and know their you know their tendencies on third down, 617 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: on and long. Everything has to be examined. And yeah, 618 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: left tackle is going to be continued to be looked at, 619 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, with Matt Ryan or excuse me, Matt Pryor 620 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: and Bernard Ryman continuing to platoon. But I think they'll 621 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: get it figured out. I think it's all correctable and 622 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: that unit just has to play better with two new 623 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: key components to it at right guard and left tackle. 624 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out that's that's Matt Taylor Voice the Coast, 625 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: JJ stankovitzas here Larra Overton. We had the Colts Twitter 626 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: mail bag. We're also coming up with Mate's random thought 627 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: of the week. But I want to throw this around 628 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: the room real quick. We didn't see much of them, JJ, 629 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: but Bubba Ventrone has two new guys in his three 630 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: man room, and Chase McLoughlin didn't get a chance to 631 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: showcase anything that he did and we're seeing the punter 632 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: Hawk do what he can. So where are we with 633 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: the special teams to two games? That has completely been 634 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: overhauled since last season. I've been impressed with the punt game, Matt. 635 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: Matt Hawk, I think has done a really good job. 636 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: And the coverage has been good. You saw Grant Steward 637 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: down that one of the one yard line against Houston. 638 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: You know, switching in some new guys there, that has 639 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: been good. I just hate like being at the point 640 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: where the coulter are o one on one and giving 641 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,479 Speaker 1: so much praise of the punting game because I mean, 642 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: no one wants to hear that. But but it has 643 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: been good. It has been good. Chase McLoughlin unfortunately only 644 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: had one kickoff the Colts didn't score. You like this guy, 645 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: JJ's actually absolutely right. I Mean, if we're talking about 646 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: special teams and how great the Colts punter is through 647 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: two games, that's pretty indicative of how things have gone. 648 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: But if you do just isolate it on its own, 649 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: he's come in and assimilated very very well, very nicely. 650 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Considering the Colts were in a pinch without Rigoberto Sanchez 651 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: to start the season, He's got a seventy yard punt. 652 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: He's got six down inside the twenty yard line, which 653 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: is tied for first in the NFL. So they really 654 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: haven't missed a beat in terms of controlling fuel position. 655 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: But you just don't want to see Matt Hawk on 656 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: the field as often as he as he had. Lara 657 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: luc Road just played, well, that's a pro bowler, buddy. 658 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: There's a reason for it. Right in a forty eight 659 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: hours later we can laugh about it, right, that's right?
