Speaker 2: Stiking on the first segment, and then starting in segment two,

24

Speaker 2: analysts Rick Venturi and Joe Writes, they will join me

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: per usual to start breaking down the Colts and their

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: performance against the Rams and now the team's three and

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: one start through roughly the first quarter of the season.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: We went all of your social media questions all night

00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to the best ones throughout the course of

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: the show tonight. We'll do all of that in just

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: a moment, but let's recap the Colts first loss of

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: the season. We do that on the game rewind.

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: Well.

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: The Colts got the ball first to start the game,

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: but Daniel Jones fired his first interception of the season

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: and the Colts suffered their first turnover of twenty twenty five.

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: But despite the giveaway, the Colts were able to bounce

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: back and hung with the Rams in the first half.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: The Colts led ten to six late in the first half,

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: but the Rams got the back on their own four

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: yard line right before the two minute warning and they

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: went no huddle and up tempo, and they quickly moved

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: the ball down the field through the air and scored

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: a touchdown on a DeVante Adams ten yard catch with

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: just seven seconds left in the first half and led

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: the break thirteen to ten. The second half started with

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: the Colts defensive stand that forced an LA punt, and

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: on the first drive of the second half, it looked

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: like the Colts struck for a big play touchdown. On

52
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 2: third and four, Daniel Jones threw a d pass down

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: the left side line to ad Mitchell, who made a

54
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: great catch and broke a tackle and race for the

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: end zone. But right before he crossed the goal line,

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: he tried to switch hands to possibly celebrate the touchdown

57
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: and wound up dropping the ball instead, letting it fly

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: through the end zone for a touchback to turn what

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: should have been six points into Los Angeles possession. That

60
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: was definitely a turning point in the game with roughly

61
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven minutes remaining in the contest, but the Colts

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: defense stood tall. The first five drives of the second

63
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: half of the Rams either resulted into punts or turnovers.

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: The Colts would take the lead seventeen to thirteen with

65
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: just over eleven minutes to go in the game on

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: a Michael Pittman Junior two yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones.

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: And on the next series for LA, the Colts created

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: a tackle for loss in the backfield on Kyron Williams

69
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: and then recover to loose fumble by Adatambo out of Barra.

70
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: The Colts were not able to cash in though, on

71
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: a short field inside the twenty yard line after that

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: fumble recovery, they did have to settle for three points

73
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: to push their lead to twenty to thirteen with nine

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: ozho two left in the game, and that's when the

75
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Rams offense took over. LA scored on a nine yard

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: pass to Kuka Nakua on a fourth and two play

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: to tie the game at twenty, and then the Rams

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: got the ball back with under two minutes to play

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: at their own twelve yard line. On first in ten,

80
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: the Colts gave up an eighty eight yard touchdown pass

81
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: to two to two at well, their third longest play

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: allowed in club history, and it turned out on the

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: play the Colts only had ten men on the field

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: on defense. The Rams took the lead for good and

85
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: then the Colts threw an interception on their final drive

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: of the game. Rams receiver Phuka Nakua played the Colts

87
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: all game. He recorded a career high one and seventy

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: receiving yards, and Matthew Stafford threw for three seventy five

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns. As for the Colts, Tyler Warren recorded

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: his first NFL touchdown on a two yard run lined

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: up as a full back in the first half. And

92
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: it was definitely a game the Colts would like back,

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: as they gave it away to a degree. The Colts

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: had turnovers, mental airs, and eleven penalties and it all

95
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: adds up to a missed opportunity and a twenty seven

96
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: to twenty win for the Rams. So the Colts are

97
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: now three to one and in a tie for first

98
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: place in the AFC South now with the Jacksonville Jaguars,

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: who won again on Sunday, and the Colts will return

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: home coming up in week five as they take on

101
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders this upcoming Sunday. All right again,

102
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: reminder coming up on segment two. Rick Venturiy and Joe

103
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Wrights join me right now. It's time to talk with

104
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: Colts head coach Shane Steichen on this first segment. We

105
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: do it every Monday night. Coach is settled in here

106
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: inside the radio studio, coach. Really tough loss. That one

107
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: was hard to come to grips with. What stood out

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: to you on film as the difference in week four?

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: Obviously turnovers are is a huge part of it, but

110
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: the penalties killed, especially in critical situations, and those are

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: things we got to get cleaned up. You know, the

112
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 4: week before you have I think we had thirty yards

113
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: penalties and this week we go eleven for eighty eight,

114
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: and you know, a couple of them are in huge

115
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: critical situations. Got ourselves in some third and I could

116
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: like to call them third and forever, Yeah, situations where

117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: those are hard to overcome. So we got to get

118
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 4: those things cleaned up moving forward, and we just can't

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: be at ourselves.

120
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: You know, the offense turns the ball over on that

121
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: first drive of the game, but then I thought they

122
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: bounce back the rest of that first half. What did

123
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: you see on that first turnover of the season, the interception,

124
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 2: and how do you think the rest of that first

125
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: half win on offense? After that?

126
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Daniel was taking a shot down the

127
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: field trying to give Ady a chance there and the

128
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 4: safety came over and made a play on the ball.

129
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: But I thought our guys bounced back well and moved

130
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: the ball and we're able to take the lead there,

131
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: you know, ten to three, and then obviously getting the

132
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: lead again there late in the game. I thought our

133
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: guys did some good things. I thought Daniel was, you know,

134
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: really efficient throwing it like he's been, you know, through

135
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: the first four weeks. And you know, overall, there's some

136
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: good things, but obviously a lot to clean up.

137
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: You know, I know you talked about this after the game,

138
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: but the defense was doing a great job there in

139
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: the first half against Matthew Stafford and that rams offense.

140
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: But then they get the ball at the end of

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: the first half, they score a touchdown with that ninety

142
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: six yard drive, and they go up tempo. They go

143
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: very quickly at the line of scrimmage on that possession.

144
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: How tough is it to slow down a quarterback like

145
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford when he's going up tempo and he's able

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: to basically just call the place from the line of scrimmage.

147
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's tough. Obviously, he's one of the

148
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: best to ever do it. And I'm probably future Hall

149
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: of Fame guy obviously, and he sees the field really well,

150
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: makes great decisions, great reads, and they're going fast and

151
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: and you know, he does that really well, and he

152
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: operated it really well there at the end. So I'll

153
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: give them credit.

154
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much do you think that that possession, if

155
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: you will, kind of turn the tide on the game

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: with them getting some more men. I'm going in a

157
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: halftime with the lead there thirteen to ten.

158
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, obviously they had a little

159
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: momentum there, but I thought our guys responded well in

160
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: the second half, you know, because then we ended up

161
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: taking the lead on them. So I think it was

162
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: some good back and forth in that second half. It

163
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: was a you know, it was a heavyweight battle there,

164
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: you know, for four quarters. We just didn't do enough

165
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: of the end to get it done.

166
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. There were eight possessions total in that third quarter.

167
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Neither team scored, And obviously a big reason why was

168
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: the ad Mitchell play. Makes the great catch, contested grab

169
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: on the sideline, races for the end zone. We know

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: the rest and he you know, trying to switch the

171
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: ball to a different hand or maybe you know, start

172
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: his celebration early. Perhaps all we know is that you

173
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: know it resulted in no points for the Colts. What

174
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: did you see him trying to do there specifically on

175
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: that play?

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously he made a hell of a play

177
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: on the ball and made a great play in that

178
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 4: at the end, he was just trying to celebrate too early.

179
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: And you know, we got to finish. We talked about

180
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: finishing through the letters and the logos and we got

181
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: to have, you know, two hands on the ball, finishing through,

182
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: especially when you're a clean runner and it just can't happen.

183
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: It's just can't do it.

184
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: What did you say to him after the game. Obviously

185
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: he's in a tough spot right he's feeling down on

186
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: the dumps. Anything that you can say, or that you

187
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: know the rest of his teammates can say to lift

188
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: up his spirits, knowing that going forward still a big

189
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: part of this team.

190
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question.

191
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: I think, you know, just don't let one play define

192
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: your career. Like you know, he's early, he's in his

193
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: second year. He's still growing and developing, and you know,

194
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: you just got to be mentally strong through it and

195
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: get through it and keep competing and keep growing and

196
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: learning and become a better player.

197
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: You said you met with him earlier today. Is that

198
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: a normal occurrence or is that something you just felt

199
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: was necessary After yesterday.

200
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: I met with ad You know, throughout the year, I

201
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 4: meet individually with players all the time, but I met

202
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: with him this morning and just kind of told them.

203
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 4: You know what I told you know you just now

204
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: is just you know, don't let this define your career

205
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: and keep working and go through the process of grinding

206
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: and practice and getting better.

207
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: At Shane sticking with us. This is Colt's Roundtable live tonight.

208
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: So in closing on this game, I mean, how do

209
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: you view it? I mean it's a very winnable game,

210
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: like you said, penalties, turnovers, yet you still very much

211
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: feel like you should have won. What's your temperament after

212
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: a game like that where I'm sure you go back

213
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: and watch the film again today and you have so

214
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: many moments where you just feel like you let one

215
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: slip away. Yeah, I mean it's frustrating.

216
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 4: You hate to lose in this league. You put so

217
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 4: much effort into it weekend and week out to go

218
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: out and perform and win the game and tell people.

219
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 4: You know, games are a lot more lost than one.

220
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is, you know the

221
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 4: self inflicted wounds. You know, we had opportunities there to

222
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: put the game away, and like I said, just the

223
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: penalties at the end of the day in critical situations,

224
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: right were the difference.

225
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I know you well enough to ask

226
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: this question, how do you deal with the loss? I mean,

227
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: do you let it You're a pretty competitive, fiery guy.

228
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: Do you let it stew or do you compartmentalize it

229
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: and kick it out the door after twenty four hours?

230
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: You got to kick it out the door twenty four hours.

231
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: This this league happened so fast. It's a week by

232
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: week league, and you got to put it to bed.

233
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: And obviously, you know you have the meetings on Monday.

234
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: You go through that process with everybody account in those situation.

235
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: Then once those meetings are done, it's on to the

236
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 4: next one.

237
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: All right, Let's take a few questions from the fans here,

238
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: submit your questions for Shane Styke and every Monday night

239
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: hashtag Colts round Table on X. Kind of already talked

240
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: about this before, but this is coming from Michael. He says,

241
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: and the defense was weakest in hurry up situations. Giving

242
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: up touchdowns on that long drive there at the end

243
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: of the half, the ninety yard drive at the end

244
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: of the game. Does the complexity of lou Anararumo's defense

245
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: create more mistakes and hurry up situations?

246
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: You know, I think when those situations, just communication as

247
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 4: we're going fast, you know what I mean, and just

248
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 4: certain route concept we're getting in just matching those things up. Obviously,

249
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: we look at those every week, you know, after you

250
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: know we're through each opponent, and you know, we got

251
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: we try to get those things cleaned up as best

252
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: as possible.

253
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Jack is asking, where do we go wrong? Coach

254
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: with only ten guys on the field on that final drive.

255
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to make sure. That's just unacceptable. We

256
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: got to have eleven. It starts with me on the

257
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: head coach. That just can't happen. We got to municate

258
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: better with the personnel groups on defense and make sure

259
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 4: we have eleven on the field at all times.

260
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: All right, Mitch is up next. He says, it's great

261
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: we're using Tyler Warren in so many ways, including short yardage.

262
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: What's the next step for his development? That's a great question. Yeah,

263
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: he's that good.

264
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing a hell of a job for us. Obviously,

265
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: we try to find, you know, unique ways to use them,

266
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: you know, every each and every week and see what fits,

267
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 4: you know, the scheme that we're going against. But right,

268
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 4: you know, he's been playing really good football for us,

269
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: and just you know, continue to try to get him touches.

270
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 2: All right, Shane sticking with us Colts Round Table Live.

271
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: A couple more questions here from the fans. I know

272
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: you talked about this earlier today with the media. This

273
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: is coming in from Pete. He says, Hey, coach Exavin

274
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: Howard has given up a lot of big plays this season.

275
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: What can we do to help him or is there

276
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: any consideration of making a change there?

277
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, we look at that stuff every week, and obviously

278
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: as coaches too, we got to do a better job

279
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: of helping them in certain situations and go through that.

280
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: And you know, he's a veteran player that's played a

281
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: lot of football in this league. But yeah, we got

282
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: to look at those things each and every week to improve.

283
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: All right. Going back to Aiden's question here, he's wanting

284
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: to know coach, what happened on that long potential touchdown

285
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: run by Jonathan Taylor. I know there was a hole

286
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: by Mitchell. Where did it occur and how necessary was it?

287
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just occurred right there, probably five yards down

288
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. The corner for the Rams just

289
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: kind of got inside and a he got his hands

290
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 4: on him and grabbed him and he went to the

291
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: ground and they called the holding call. And obviously we

292
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: can't do that in this situation. And it just comes

293
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: back to the fundamentals and the technique of blocking at

294
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: that position.

295
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: And no doubt about that. Okay, Raiders up next. Coach.

296
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: They're one in three. They've lost a couple of really

297
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: close games, including yesterday's game. Sunday they fell twenty five

298
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: twenty four back at home after two weeks on the road.

299
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: What stands out to you about Las Vegas coach by

300
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: an all time great and Pete Carroll.

301
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Pete does a great job with those guys. Obviously,

302
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: he brings a lot of energy. He'll have those guys

303
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: ready to go. Obviously they played some close games. You know,

304
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: in this league, it don't matter you can throw at records.

305
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 4: I know they're going to come in here ready to go.

306
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: We got to be ready to roll as well, you know,

307
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: Crosby's obviously a problem, one of the best, you know,

308
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 4: premiere pass rushers in the league. So now I'm just

309
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: watching some of the games earlier today. He creates a

310
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 4: lot of havoc, so obviously, you know we got to

311
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: do a good job with him.

312
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's a game wrecker right there. That's Shane Stik

313
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,960

Speaker 2: to you by Caesar Sportsbook, a proud sports betting partner

Speaker 2: of the Indianapolis Colts. I'm Matt Taylor and I've joined

349
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: now by former Colts coach Rick vent Turrey and former

350
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: Colts offensive lineman Joe Writes are Colts analysts with us

351
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: every Monday night here in the regular season. Fellas good

352
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: evening and Joe, great job as always in the radio

353
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: booth yesterday, Man, it was great to be back with

354
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: you on the air, and you know, we talked about

355
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: this after the game. I love doing games with you,

356
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: But the last couple of times you and I have

357
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: hooked up in the regular season, I don't know what's

358
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: going on. I think the the football universe hates us

359
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: because you know, you and I did the thirty three

360
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: point comeback in Minnesota. We did the loss together last

361
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: year in Denver where things unraveled. It was a big

362
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: playoff Ramification type game for the Colts. And then this

363
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: game yesterday where the Colts could have easily beat the

364
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Rams but eleven penalties, a lot of mistakes and turnovers,

365
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: and some weird plays of the goal line. Again, I

366
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: don't know what it is, man, but you and I

367
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: just don't have any luck together in the regular season.

368
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: Always big things happen negative wise for the Colts.

369
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, we need to get some better synergy mat there

370
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: because there's been some some forgettable games right there, and

371
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: including yesterday's game. And as we've talked about, though it

372
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: was disappointing, the most to me was, you know, you

373
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 5: felt like the Colts gave that game away instead of

374
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: the Rams taking it. And the negative is there's a

375
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: lot of stuff to clean up and this one really hurts,

376
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: and you know we're in the twenty four hour earl.

377
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: You got to move on.

378
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 5: As painful it is to watch the film today, the

379
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 5: positives are though, I think the Colts showed to everybody

380
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 5: outside of Indianapolis that they're a really good football team

381
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: and they got a bright future ahead if they correct

382
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: some things.

383
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

384
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: So that's Joe Wrights with us tonight. Rick Ventury is

385
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: on the horn as well. Rick, hope you're doing well

386
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: and I know watching that game in real time yesterday

387
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: had to be really tough for you.

388
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna I'll get into it. It's an oddity

389
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: in my career as a broadcaster, even though I didn't

390
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: do the game usually when I lead the game. We

391
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: used to have when I was in Saint Louis. We

392
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: used to have a little segment after the game, and

393
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: they used to call it Rick on his way to

394
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: the car, and I would always blurt out my first

395
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: thoughts on my way to the car, and usually they

396
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: were right even after it's at the tape. But I

397
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: got a little conflict on that today, which I'll get into.

398
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: I felt a little bit I've felt one way after

399
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 3: the game. It felt a little bit different after watching

400
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: the tape this morning.

401
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: All right, So little teas right there from Rick Venturrey

402
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: on his initial thoughts versus having about twenty four hours

403
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: to think about how the Colts played in Week number four.

404
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: So coming up on segment three, I should say, we're

405
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: going to roll out a little bit of a bit

406
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: called pretenders or contenders. We're a quarter of the way

407
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: through the season here, and we'll talk about some of

408
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: the areas for the Colts so far that you know,

409
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: either legit and are going to hold up despite the

410
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: loss yesterday, or they still need some work going into

411
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: the quarter second quarter of the season. But on this

412
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: segment here, Rick and Joe comment on their initial reactions

413
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: from the game. We caught tail the tape by rayson

414
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: hell today. Okay, goot bang bang player bang bank, keep.

415
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: The hammer down, keep talking to one another minute, clean

416
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: it up. That's all.

417
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: Get right, Get right. So the Colts are now three

418
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: and one on the season after their first loss, and

419
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: they did a lot of rights, but they did more

420
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: wrong in the loss. The main things that held the

421
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: Colts back a d Mitchell dropping the ball at the

422
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: goal line on what should have been a seventy six

423
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: yard touchdown, eleven penalties for eighty eight yards, the secondary

424
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: giving up a monster game to Puka Nakua, and then

425
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: the big mistake in the fourth quarter giving up that

426
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: eighty eight yard touchdown to two to two at well

427
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: ma Kayi Blackman falls down on the play. The Colts

428
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: only had ten players on the field after a change

429
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: of possession. Uh, just a wild into the game. Very bizarre,

430
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: but that's how it finished with a twenty seven to

431
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: twenty loss for the Indianapolis Colt. So, Rick, I'm gonna

432
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: give you the microphone now, tell us why you are

433
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: conflicted today versus what you initially thought after the game

434
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: last night on the Colts.

435
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: Well, actually, as I watched the game, and I finished

436
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: the game. I was just so disappointed and flatly disgusted,

437
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: particularly with the day that Nikua had. I just was

438
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: disgusted with it. And to me, you know, with all

439
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: the things that happened, we just blew the game. But

440
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: you know what, after I cooled off and slept on it,

441
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: and you know, and watched the game on tape, I'm

442
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: not demoralized at all. I'm actually optimistic because I said,

443
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, after looking at it, I would say that

444
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: despite making every every mistake possible, actually taking fourteen points

445
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: off the board, the game is still tied with just

446
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: minutes to go in Sofi Stadium against theoretically one of

447
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 3: the best four teams in the NFC. So, you know,

448
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: I look at it a little bit different. I look

449
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 3: at the Colts a little bit different. After that, you know,

450
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: it's really sad because the game was really going our

451
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: way despite all the mistakes and penalties. You know, Shane

452
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: had done what he did not as effectively, but he

453
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: had moved the ball with the pass, moving things around

454
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 3: in late in that third quarter, in that early fourth quarter,

455
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: that game was going our way. It was like our formula. Okay, now,

456
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: here comes JT and JT is just pounded him. It's

457
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: our style. I mean, I'm thinking to myself, all right,

458
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: this is exactly what we want. And then when he

459
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: breaks the fifty three yard touchdown, which has been our formula,

460
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: it would have put us over, It would have put

461
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: us over one hundred yards rushing, it would have given

462
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: us the lead, it would have got us to about

463
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: four hundred yards total, you know, and it's just absolutely amazing.

464
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: And when that got called back, that was absolutely the killer.

465
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, the game. If I look at it,

466
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: you know, it's just a lot of would it should

467
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: have could? I mean, mistakes, penalties again, eleven turnovers, protection issues,

468
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: playing stupidity, not enough guys on the field, some dumb moves,

469
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 3: you know, just and then I thought, I thought a

470
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: terribly you know, faulty game plan defensively against Nakua, and

471
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: then terrible secondary play added to it. It just really

472
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: doomed us. And you know, at the end of the day,

473
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: and we'll get into this. At the end of the day,

474
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, the Rams scored two touchdowns in the last

475
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: five minutes and end up winning always the all important

476
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, they end up winning it fourteen to ten, Mitchell,

477
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: it was a nightmare. There's no question about that. He

478
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 3: you know, he personally takes fourteen points off the board.

479
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine with the fourteen points what we'd be

480
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: talking about today. We would be talking about a thirty

481
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: four to twenty seven win, a four hundred yard game,

482
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: and we would be saying to ourselves, holy cow, we

483
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: may be the best team in football. So when you

484
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: put all that, you know, there's there's some things to

485
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 3: be happy. I am. I think. I think the thing

486
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: that disgusted me most during the game, and Joe writes

487
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: and I talked about this before the game is I

488
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 3: was just amazed at the lack of the plan or

489
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: the plan whatever you want to call it against Nikua.

490
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: Nikua is the best receiver in the league. I thought

491
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: the way to play him was to put Ward on Adams,

492
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: let him press him, take him out of the game

493
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 3: one on one, and then double or bracket Nikua the

494
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: whole day. Do not let him win the game, you know,

495
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: And instead Stafford throws for seventy percent, you know, three

496
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy yards, three tds, and more importantly, Nikua

497
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: catches thirteen balls one seventy thirteen to one, you know,

498
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 3: one of the game winners, and it ends up being absolutely,

499
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: you know, just absolutely the best day of his career.

500
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: And then we give up a touchdown with ten guys

501
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: on the field, which is that's malpractice, that's inexcusable, particularly

502
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: on the first play of the series. It wasn't like

503
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: somebody was going fast on right right. But in the end,

504
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: in the end, all that being said, adding eleven penalties,

505
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: you know, that was the mistakes and everything was was

506
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: a formula for failure. But to me, the good news

507
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: is despite one of the sloppiest games we've ever played,

508
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: we could have won it in their house against one

509
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 3: of the best quarterbacks of all time and against a

510
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: really good team. So you know, they're you know, if

511
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: you can spit it out and you can come back

512
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: and get right back on track, to me, there's a

513
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: lot of reason for optimism.

514
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you guys both watch the film and Joe,

515
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to take away your thunder, but admittedly

516
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: I did not notice only ten men on the field.

517
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: What were the Colts in defensively? Who was not on

518
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: the field? Where did they have a lack of obviously

519
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: personnel on the field at that point.

520
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were missing somebody in dime linebacker. Probably hard

521
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: to tell. And again Matt I didn't notice it either.

522
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: We just thought, you know, we just tripped and fell

523
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 5: there and at well went over our head. But obviously

524
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 5: that's you know, tough when you're coming out of a

525
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 5: change of possession. You only got ten guys out on

526
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 5: the field right there for that eighty eight yard went

527
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 5: over the top.

528
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, whoever was supposed to be in there was to

529
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: be the dime, you know, whether that's a safety or

530
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: another linebacker, he was to be the dime. It was

531
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: like manna man underneath. I think two man, it's hard

532
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: to tell. I run it back on the twenty two.

533
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: But because what happened is buying him is to our left.

534
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: He's away from that stack and Cross Cross is talking

535
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: to him before the snap. I didn't see it either

536
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: at game time, real time. Right, Ross is talking to him,

537
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: and somebody's supposed to be on that tight end, which

538
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: would be the dime. The tight end goes in motion.

539
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 3: Cross is talking to buying him because I think Cross

540
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: is supposed to be on that half of the field,

541
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 3: but he sees the guy uncovered and you can see

542
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: him signal to bind him. I'm going to go get him,

543
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: and he goes and gets him. And so then Bynum,

544
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: though is on the left half of the field, he's

545
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: not in the middle. That's why I don't think it

546
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 3: was a single high. I think it was a double high.

547
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: And so, but now you've lost Cross over there. And

548
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: so then when black man gets tied up on his

549
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: heels and Atwill is open to that half, the guy

550
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: from the middle can't get all the way over there

551
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 3: because he's really not in the middle. If if Bynum

552
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: would have been in the middle, based on the eleven guys,

553
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 3: he may he may have been able to cut that

554
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: thing off. But he's back on the back half, and

555
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: I think I think the defense was designed for Cross

556
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: to be on that other half. But you know, because

557
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 3: he he sees a guy wide open, he comes out

558
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: of the coverage to go get him. And that's how

559
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: I see it now. I'm not sure exactly what the call,

560
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: but it looked like a two man was too high.

561
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: Jo I'm gonna give you some time here on your

562
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: tail of the tape. Obviously, a very disappointing way to

563
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: end the game with a mistake with one less player

564
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: than what is allowed on the field defensively in that

565
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: moment to battle and to have a game like that

566
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: in the way it does with so much self infliction.

567
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: What we your big takeaways and what's your tail of

568
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: the tape with the Colts three and one but having

569
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: so many opportunities to be easily four and oh in

570
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: the season.

571
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you look at high level. You know,

572
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 5: you're through the first quarter of the season, you go

573
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 5: three and one. Obviously there's a seventeenth game now, but

574
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 5: if you do that, I mean, that's the recipe for success, right.

575
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 5: That's twelve and four, twelve and five, thirteen and four

576
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 5: at the end of the season. And so they did

577
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 5: their job through the first month of the season. The

578
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 5: hard part is you flew back on that plane and

579
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: me and everybody else on there felt like we gave

580
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 5: that game away and we should have been four and oh.

581
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 5: But I'm with coach watching the tape again this morning.

582
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 5: When you think about who you're playing, the opponent that

583
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 5: they're desperate, they came off a game that they gave away.

584
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 5: They were ready, the crowd was loud, they were into it.

585
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 5: There was a lot of adversity through the game, and

586
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 5: the Colts still should have won that football game. And

587
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: I give us credit, Matt and that there were so

588
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 5: many momentum swings in that game, and the Colts just

589
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 5: kept fighting and scratching and clawing. You know, at the

590
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 5: end of the first half they go and go ninety

591
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 5: six yards, they score a touchdown, They have all the momentum.

592
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 5: They come out in the second half, they get the

593
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 5: football and what do we do. We force them into

594
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 5: four straight punts and then a fumble when Hilton made

595
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 5: that great play on that inside run blitz and you know,

596
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: you think about the Colts. They had the ball down there,

597
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 5: we throw that deep pass and Warren he catches it

598
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: on the three.

599
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 6: That's going to be seven. They called the offensive pass interference.

600
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 6: I still don't know.

601
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I know he extended his arm and from

602
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 5: where the back judge was, you know, he sees that

603
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 5: arm go out and he's throwing the flag. But you know,

604
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 5: you had a chance to have a double digit lead

605
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 5: there after the fumble, right, So I.

606
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: Just think there were so many momentum shifts in that game.

607
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: I called it an EKG game yesterday in terms of

608
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 5: up and down and up, and the Rams got it.

609
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: We got it so many momentum shifts in that heavyweight fight,

610
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 5: and the Colt just kept coming and coming and coming

611
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 5: and again. Despite the fumble from Mitchell. You know, if

612
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 5: he doesn't get that holding penalty out there on the edge,

613
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 5: you know, Jonathan Taylor rips that runs over two guys,

614
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 5: spins out of it. We're a fifty three yards and

615
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 5: the football game's over. And like coach said, j T

616
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 5: statline instead of being seventeen for seventy six would have

617
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 5: been eighteen for one point thirty. And so I just

618
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 5: think the Colts. I thought we won the special teams

619
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 5: battle yesterday. There was a lot of talk of the

620
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 5: special teams in term of the Rams were number one

621
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: in the NFL on starting field position, number two on

622
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 5: defensive starting field position. I thought that we executed in

623
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: the kicking game. We got some big returns. Rego was phenomenal.

624
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 5: I mean that punt. The USA could have used that

625
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: in the Ryder Cup right there in terms of having

626
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: that drop and kick right over towards the hole, if

627
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. But so we did do

628
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 5: some things well. We just you can't have three turnovers

629
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: be minus two on the road against a good football team,

630
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: and the eleven penalties, especially just at ill times where

631
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 5: we were. But I thought the offensive line, you know, battled.

632
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 5: You know, Ryman gave up that strip, sacked a Verse,

633
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 5: good awareness by him by falling on the ball, and

634
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 5: you know Verse ran Bordolini over at the center. But

635
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: you know they got a good front and as much

636
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 5: as we passed yesterday, I thought those guys they battled

637
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 5: hard in there on the inside. Yeah, you know, I

638
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 5: think we could have did a little bit better job.

639
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: And know other's one time when you know, Giddings looked

640
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 5: like didn't have anybody to chip and probably should have

641
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 5: been out there helping rhyming out a little bit. But overall,

642
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: you just got to watch the film and you got

643
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: to get over this. Here's the one thing you can't

644
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 5: let this happen, Matt, is to be a hangover game,

645
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 5: a game that you expect to win, that you thought

646
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 5: you were going to win. You're flying back across the country.

647
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: You got to wipe this away quick. The twenty four

648
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 5: hour rule is harder when you have a game like this,

649
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 5: when if you get beat by thirty if that makes sense,

650
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 5: and so for the col The real key is just

651
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 5: get everything dialed in. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, you could

652
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 5: be as sharp as you can because you got two

653
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 5: home games coming up against two teams that you're better

654
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: than and you should be. And if you do that

655
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: and you're sitting there a third way through the season

656
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 5: at five and one a top the AFC are probably

657
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: tied for it, you're feeling good about yourself in terms

658
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 5: of what this football beak football team can be as

659
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 5: we move into the fall.

660
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: Well said right there. That is Rick Venturi and Joe

661
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,680

662
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,080

00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: of areas on this Colts team and debate if they're

00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: the Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights. I'm Matt Taylor. On

687
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: that last segment, we looked at the film and discussed

688
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: the big areas that let the Colts down a week four.

689
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna move to a segment called Pretenders or

690
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: Contenders all right. Season is about a quarter of the

691
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: way done, We're gonna highlight a couple of areas on

692
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: this Colts team and debate if they're for real or

693
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 2: not for real now that we're four games into the season.

694
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: So fellas, let's begin first with the new Colts quarterback,

695
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. He's thrown for at least two hundred and

696
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: twenty yards in all four games this season. It marks

697
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty fifteen the Colts have produced

698
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty plus passing yards in each of

699
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: their first four games of year. He was picked off

700
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: a couple of times against the Rams yesterday twice, including

701
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: on that first drive also on the last drive of

702
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: the game, but in between he was mostly good put

703
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: the Colts into good situations. He took two sacks, finished

704
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: twenty four for thirty three for two sixty two in

705
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: a rating of eighty point six. So, Joe, I'm gonna

706
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: let you go first. After four games, Daniel Jones, the

707
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: new quarterback. Is he a pretender or contender for the Colts?

708
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: Well, my eyes would say contender, And then if you

709
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 5: go to the stats and the metric Matt he's number

710
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 5: one in the NFL and QBR and QBR Total Quarterback Rating. Again,

711
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: it's kind of a deviation of the old passer rating,

712
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 5: but QBR takes into account what you're doing when you're

713
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 5: doing it, time score, the game, importance of the play,

714
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 5: what you're doing with your legs. And he's number one,

715
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 5: and I really think you've seen a perfect marriage between

716
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones and Shane Stike and in terms of Shane

717
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 5: being as diverse in creativity as offensively obviously, Daniel Jones

718
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: can handle all of it, to handle that environment. I

719
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 5: know he had the two interceptions, but all the different

720
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 5: checks that he was making getting to his second and

721
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 5: third read. And what I've been impressed about really Matt

722
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 5: his leadership and just his toughness. He stands in there

723
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 5: in the pocket and a lot of times he knows

724
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 5: where the ball's going, but he's waiting a little bit

725
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 5: till that last second to let the receiver get open.

726
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 5: He's standing there and he's taking hits, and Matt, I

727
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: think you can see it in the team and how

728
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 5: they're playing. They believe in this guy, They love this guy,

729
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 5: and they know that they can win and go a

730
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: long way come January. With Jones back there at the Helm,

731
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 5: so definitively a contender in my book.

732
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind. Contender. Uh, And

733
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not dismayed by yesterday. I mean, I

734
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, the first interception, he's taking his shot. He's

735
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 3: got to give it more loft. I would have liked

736
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: to see him take the check down at the end

737
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: of the game. I thought that one was a little forced.

738
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: But everything in between, my goodness, you throw he threw

739
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: it seventy two percent, you know, twenty four thirty three,

740
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 3: and to be honest with you, there was some dirty pockets.

741
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: I mean that is that is a rushing front. And

742
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: you know, I've never seen him back down, like Joe said,

743
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 3: and he throws really accurately into that second level. You know,

744
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 3: he does a good job. Like if you look at JT.

745
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: JT looks so much better catching the ball. But one

746
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: of the reasons is that he puts touch on that

747
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 3: ball to the outside. There is no doubt in my mind.

748
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: You know, the leadership really and truly, if you don't

749
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 3: I say this again, if you don't take fourteen points

750
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: off the board, you're gonna score thirty point thirty four

751
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 3: points with him at quarterback and four hundred yards against

752
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: a terrific young defense. So you know, I don't think

753
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: there's any any problem here. I think we got a

754
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: guy that can take us.

755
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitive contender right there for the Colts quarterback. All right, Rick,

756
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: stay right there. I want to ask you about Tyler Warren.

757
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 2: We all know the answer to this one, but I'm

758
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 2: gonna set you up because Warren scored on a two

759
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: yard rushing touchdown the other day. He also had five

760
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: catches for seventy yards against the Rams. He became the

761
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: first Colts tight end with a rushing touchdown since Trey

762
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: Burton back in the day in twenty twenty. I say

763
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 2: back in the day because Covid seems like so long ago.

764
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: It was his first career touchdown in the NFL. Also

765
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: just the second NFL tight end in NFL history with

766
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: at least seventy receiving yards in three of his first

767
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: four games, joining Alvin Reid in that regard. So, Tyler Warren, Rick,

768
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: He's a clear contender, There's no doubt about that. But

769
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: how much ahead of schedule is he compared to your

770
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: expectations for him? Back in April when the Colts picked

771
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: him up in the draft.

772
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, I was really happy, like

773
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: everybody else when he fell to us, because I thought

774
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: we had a really three down. We had a legitimate

775
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 3: tight end now that we could use different ways. But

776
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: this kid has gone way beyond my expectations. And I'll

777
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: date myself here and not to take anything away from

778
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: modern day guys, but he reminds me of kind of

779
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: the John Mackie's and the Mike Didcause guys that were

780
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: just on another level. This kid is on another level.

781
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 3: You talk about Swiss army knife, He's a Swiss Army Pazuka.

782
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: I mean, there isn't anything that he can't do. I mean,

783
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: he's a blocker. You can put him at fullback. You

784
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 3: saw it last week. He opened up lanes. He's a

785
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: tight end inside, he's a tight end outside. He's a

786
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: semi wide receiver. He can get to the deep part

787
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: of the field there. And then you know, now we

788
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: added wildcat running back touchdown to the equation. Yeah, I

789
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: don't think that there's you know, there's good players. Gionty

790
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: had a really good day yesterday, but I doubt that

791
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: any rookie in the league is having the impact he is.

792
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 5: I would agree one hundred percent coach, and I think

793
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 5: the first thing we need to do is send a

794
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 5: gift basket. The Hollas haul up there in Lake four

795
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 5: is still and yeah, I mean seriously, when you think

796
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 5: about thout, Yeah, they were talked about who's going to

797
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: go first, Loveland for Michigan or Warren. And again it's

798
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 5: four games, it's a small sample size, but Loveland's got

799
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 5: two catches for twelve yards and Warren is becoming an

800
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 5: ambient player for defenses. I mean on three straight plays

801
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: Matt he lined up at tight end, then at quarterback,

802
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 5: and then fall back when he scored on that twenty

803
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: full back belly And what I just love. He brings

804
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 5: such a level of physicality with his team. His catch

805
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 5: radius is big, but he's so tough. He's got that

806
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: big body. I mean, it's a power forward in their

807
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 5: boxing out. And so where have the Colts struggled this year?

808
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 5: The red zone? What's hard to do red zone targets.

809
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 5: I mean we threw them one again he had the

810
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 5: OPI but again he had that big catch to get

811
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 5: us down there inside the five earlier in the game.

812
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 5: So just such a dynamic weapon, and I think you'll

813
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 5: continue to see his role expand because he's so comfortable

814
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 5: with the football in his hand and all the things

815
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 5: he did at Penn State. You can go back there

816
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 5: to the Tennessee game where he's lined up at fullback

817
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 5: and just leading down iso blocks and blowing people up.

818
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 5: But Warren is going to continue to evolve. But he

819
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 5: brings a dimension to this offense the Colts haven't had

820
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 5: in a long time. And just the physicality, his spirit,

821
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 5: how he plays the game. I mean, you know, you're

822
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 5: you're talking about a guy drafted at fourteen that you

823
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 5: know very well, maybe offensive rookie of the year.

824
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 2: Like coach said, all right, we're doing contenders and pretenders

825
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: on this segment here on Colts Roundtable Live tonight on

826
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

827
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm Matt Taylor alongside Rick Van Turrey and Joe Writes. Here.

828
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: The last one we need to highlight and focus in

829
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 2: on is the secondary depth has certainly been tested since

830
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: the start of training camp there, especially at cornerback. The

831
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: latest injury has occurred to Kenny Moore the second last week,

832
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 2: dealing with kind of a hybrid injury calf and achilles.

833
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 2: So Mike Hilton was called up off the practice squad

834
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: after he was signed last week. He played a major

835
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: role at nickel back against the Rams. But the secondary

836
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: is kind of up and down. They've produced some shutdown

837
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: moments in the past. They've had some big interceptions so far.

838
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: But on Sunday that let Puka Nakua have the best

839
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 2: game of his career thirteen catches, one hundred and seventy

840
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown, and a lot of that production

841
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: came on xaviing Howard and coverage. He was out of

842
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: the league last year recovering from a foot injury, and

843
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: teams Rick as you know, they're certainly testing him early

844
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: on in the season. So Rick is the is the

845
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: cult secondary so far through four games? Is it pretender

846
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 2: or contender status?

847
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to have to say pretender with a

848
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 3: chance to get better, and that's based on a few things.

849
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: I think there's no question it's very obvious that Howard

850
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: really is struggling and it is a liability blackman on

851
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: the outside to me is struggling. So you've got two

852
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: guys there that you were hoping going to really solidify

853
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: that that really haven't done it. Obviously, Kenny is a

854
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: big loss and there's no disrespect, but Hilton is no Kenny.

855
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 3: Hilton is a good first down Nickel. You saw him

856
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: on the blitz. That's what he does. He can play

857
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: the run short area. But basically, you're gonna have to

858
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: play two guys to get one. When you get in

859
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: passing down to Nickel, you're gonna have to get Blackman

860
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: in there, because Hilton is and never has been the

861
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: cover guy that Kenny is and man demand. So you know,

862
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: really we've got some real big issues there that we

863
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 3: hadn't counted on. You know, I think we can get better.

864
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 3: I think we can fix it, and ironically, I really

865
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: think schematically I'm a little disappointed. I was tremendously disappointed

866
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 3: this week the ninety six yard drive. You know, we

867
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: go into soft zones and they just hit a million

868
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: curls and outs and just walk right down the field.

869
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 3: And that may have been the drive of the game

870
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 3: if you want to go a swing in moment in him,

871
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: you know, and then kind of the same thing at

872
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: the end. Allowing Nakua to do that is an injustice.

873
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you knew going in he's the best receiver

874
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: in the league and not to handle it. The kid

875
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: that I want to see more time and he may

876
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 3: end up being the second outside corner is Edwards. You

877
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: know Edwards in the small amount that he's played, and

878
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: maybe he'll get exposed, but he's done a really good job,

879
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: and I think we've got to find now a number

880
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: two corner when we're in Nickel.

881
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree with you there, Coach, I think

882
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 5: for me probably an incomplete on that one.

883
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 6: Matt. I think, you know Ward and buying him are

884
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 6: game changers.

885
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 5: And you know, we were talking all training camp that

886
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 5: this cult secondary is going to be the strength of

887
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 5: his defense. But then you have some injuries that go

888
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 5: in there. Jones is injured. You know, he's on ir

889
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 5: right now. He can come back after the Raiders game

890
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 5: this week, and so you hope that he's getting healthy.

891
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 5: But then with the injury to Kenny in the slot,

892
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 5: I mean that takes out two of your big guns,

893
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 5: and so I would agree with Coach. I think Edwards,

894
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 5: you know, he's a younger guy, he's in experience, but

895
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 5: he's long, he's physical, he can run, and you know,

896
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 5: they got to find a combination somewhere. Out there on

897
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 5: that other corner spot to really be able to lock

898
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 5: it down. And I think if you do that, you know,

899
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 5: then the secondary certainly can be that contender status that

900
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 5: we all thought maybe in training camp, but it's certainly

901
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 5: not there yet.

902
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: All Right, that's a look at some of the areas

903
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: on the Colts pretenders or contenders after four games. That

00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: This is coming first from Chris. He's asking, Hey, Rick,

930
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: I know you're really big into the roundabout. You know,

931
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: the last four minutes of the second quarter, in the

932
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: first four minutes of the third quarter, So how much

933
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 2: of that ninety six yard drive right before halftime turn

934
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: the game on us?

935
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 3: Well, there's no question about it. It was a phenomenal

936
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: drive from their four yard line, of which they just

937
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: shredded us up and down the field. We played really

938
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: soft for us, a lot of zone and they just

939
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 3: took us apart in the hooks in the seams and

940
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 3: went down there and then scored, you know, scored down

941
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: in there to Adams. But to answer the question specifically

942
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: to me, I put emphasis on three areas first five

943
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 3: minutes of the game, the middle eight, and the last

944
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 3: five minutes of the game. And in this one, ironically,

945
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: the Rams won all three. They went down got a

946
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 3: field goal early in the game to get started. You know,

947
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 3: they finished the game with fourteen unanswered points in the

948
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 3: last five minutes. But I have been in so many

949
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 3: games where that middle eight makes the difference, and particularly

950
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: the drive or the play or the field goal before

951
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: the half. There is nothing, no matter what's happened before that,

952
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 3: that gives a team more momentum going into the locker

953
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: room than something good that happens to him late. And

954
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: nothing will better than that ninety six yard drive for

955
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: the Rams. I mean, they went into that locker room

956
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden they had struggle. All of

957
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 3: a sudden, Man, they got it now, we got it now.

958
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 3: That was a tremendous emotional lift for them.

959
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: All right, we got time for one more. This is

960
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: coming from Jake Joe Wrights. He's asking after what you

961
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: guys have seen through the first four games, do you

962
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: think we, as in the Colts are the best team

963
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: in the AFC South?

964
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 6: I do. Now.

965
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 5: Jacksonville sitting there three and one, and they got a

966
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 5: huge game coming up Monday night when they host Kansas City.

967
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 5: It looks like Kansas City got right with with Worthy

968
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 5: coming back and that offense getting going. But you know,

969
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 5: the Jaguars did have an impressive win going out to

970
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 5: San fran and beating them, and so, you know, Matt,

971
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 5: I really think the division is gonna come down to

972
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 5: these two teams. You know, I think Houston they just

973
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 5: got a lot of issues going on. You can just

974
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 5: tell they just don't look right as a football team.

975
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 5: But you know, the oddities of the schedule or the

976
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 5: Colts don't play Jacksonville until December seventh, and they play him

977
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 5: twice in four weeks, So you got two matchups against

978
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 5: the Jags in December that I really think is going

979
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 5: to get decide the division. Again, There's gonna be a

980
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 5: bunch of games before that. But you know, I just

981
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 5: think watching both teams right now, I think objectively we're better.

982
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 5: But you got to give Jacksonville credit because they're three

983
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 5: and one, and again We'll see how good they are

984
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 5: for real when they host the Chiefs next Monday night.

985
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 5: But if the Colts can exercise their demons, right, this

986
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 5: is kind of the year win our first home opener

987
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 5: since twenty thirteen. Now we haven't won in Jacksonville since

988
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen, but you go down there and you get

989
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 5: that and you take care of business.

990
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 6: Then within the division.

991
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 5: Sure, you know, the AFC South should be there for

992
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: Indianapolis's taking.

993
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, long way to go, but yeah, it looks like

994
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 2: those two meetings against the Jaguars in the month of

995
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: December are going to be rather large inside the AFC South.

996
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: All right, that's the mailbag segments, and I thanks to

1018
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 2: said Citizens Energygroup dot Com. I'm Matt Taylor, Rick Venturi

1019
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: and Joe Wrights were closing out the show the closing arguments,

1020

Speaker 2: taking a look at Week five and also putting a

1021
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 2: on the loss for the Colts to the Rams, their

1022
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: first setback of the season. So, Joe, the floor is yours.

1023
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 2: The Cults are now three and one. As we've talked

1024
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: about at nauseum, here throughout the show. A lot of

1025
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: self infliction went into this game against the Rams. But

1026
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 2: now they return home for two in a row at

1027
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium against the Raiders, who are one in three.

1028
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: An upcoming game the week after that against the Cardinals.

1029
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: So give us your final thoughts on week four and

1030
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: how you have to regroup as a player getting ready

1031
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: for a one to three Raiders squad that lost a

1032
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: heartbreaker to the Bears.

1033
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: You really do this is a game again. The biggest

1034
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 5: concern I have for the Colts Sunday is really that

1035
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 5: hangover effect in terms of a heartbreaking loss. And so

1036
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 5: this is where as a player, every time your mind

1037
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 5: starts to drift about La you just got to correct it,

1038
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 5: get back in your iPad, watch some more film on Vegas,

1039
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 5: and get yourself going for Oakland, because we should beat

1040
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 5: this team. Were the better team. You know, they're one

1041
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: and three, they're struggle and they've lost three in a row.

1042
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 5: They had a block kick at the end that they

1043
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 5: could have beat Chicago here yesterday. But you know, coach,

1044
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 5: I think one team, they're very welcome super Bowl winning coach.

1045
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 5: They've lost three in a row, so you know, they're

1046
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 5: going to come in here Hungary. But you know, objectively,

1047
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 5: I just think we're the better team. What are your

1048
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 5: thoughts early film watching on Las Vegas.

1049
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's what I think, big picture wise, you died

1050
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: dido about Las Vegas. As you alluded to. Pete Carroll,

1051
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: who's my contemporary, is going to have them ready to

1052
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: go regardless of record. They will play with real high energy,

1053
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 3: so you won't get a break that way. They found

1054
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: a running game two hundred and forty yards and they

1055
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 3: were only averaging three point one going in. Gionte validated

1056
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: his lottery pick with one hundred and thirty eight yards yesterday.

1057
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 3: He wasn't doing anything before that and three touchdowns. They

1058
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 3: have their version of Warren, which is Bowers. Those two

1059
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 3: guys are probably the two best young talents, versatile talents

1060
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 3: in the league at tight end. I think Gino Smith

1061
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: is one of those guys that's renewed, even though he's

1062
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: struggling with this team, but he's kind of renewed after

1063
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: early failure. And I think probably the biggest key when

1064
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 3: we have the ball is they literally have a stuperstar

1065
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 3: and Max Crosby at the end, he is one of

1066
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: you know he's probably one of the three elite edge

1067
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: guys in the National Football League.

1068
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, great scouting report there from Rick Ventury on the

1069
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: Raiders again, they're one and three. They lost Sunday twenty

1070
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 2: five to twenty four, and we will talk more about

1071
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 2: them in full detail as we progress throughout the week

1072
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,040
