Speaker 2: social media questions. Get those in tonight and every Monday

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: Night on x using hashtag Colts Roundtable. Well, the Colts

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: are riding high after their thirty one twenty eight overtime

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: win on Sunday over the Titans. The Colts have won

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: four straight and swept the Titans, both for the first

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: time since twenty eighteen, and their seven and five record

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: has them in possession for a wild card playoff spot

36
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: with five games to go. The game was absolutely nuts,

37
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: and it featured just about everything. Big plays by both offenses,

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: block punts, special teams, touchdowns, a two point conversion return

39
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: ninety nine yards for a score, and a play where

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback in a safety took turns fumbling the ball

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: back to each other. The Colts got down early. They

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: were down by two scores, trailing seventeen to seven of

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: the second quarter, but they were able to pull within

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: four points at intermission with two Matt Gay field goals,

45
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: and then on the first drive of the second half,

46
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: the Colts marched nineteen play seventy yards but stalled out

47
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: in the red zone and they had to settle for

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: another Matt Gay short field goal that pulled the Colts

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: within one at seventeen to sixteen. The Titans went three

50
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: and out on their first two drives of the third quarter,

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: and on their second punt of the second half, the

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: Colts blocked a Ryan Stonehouse punt with Nick Cross and

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: then linebacker Grant Stewart scooped it up and ran it

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: in eighteen yards for his first career touchdown, and the

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Colts had their first lead of the game at that point,

56
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: twenty two to seventeen. But the Colts then went for

57
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: two and tried an interior screen pass to running back

58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: Zach Moss, but the ball tipped off of Moss's fingers

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: then bounced straight to Tennessee safety Amani Hooker, who ran

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: it back ninety nine yards for two points for the Titans.

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: The Colts then kicked off to Tennessee, and after a

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: four play drive, the Titans had to punt once more

63
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: and again it was the Colts special teams unit rising

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: when Tony Brown rushed Stonehouse so quickly that he just

65
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: took the Titans punter out, forcing a fumble instead of

66
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: a block. The Colts recovered the loose ball inside the

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: ten yard line, setting up goal to go, but the

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: Colts couldn't find the end zone, settling for the fourth

69
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Matt Gay field goal of the game to go up

70
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: twenty five to nineteen. Then on the very next drive,

71
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: the Titans went eleven plays in eighty yards and found

72
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: the end zone with DeAndre Hopkins in his touchdown from

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 2: Will Levis, but without Stonehouse in the game, who also

74
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: acts as the team's placeholder. Nick Fulk missed the go

75
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: ahead pat out of the hold to backup quarterback Ryan Tannehill,

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: so the game was still tied at twenty five, and

77
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: both teams would eventually head to overtime. The Titans got

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: the ball first in overtime and kicked a forty six

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: yard field goal after a ten play drive. Then the

80
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Colts got the ball back with four to nineteen on

81
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: the clock and they had to either tie the game

82
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: or score a touchdown. It took the Colts only five

83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: plays to find the end zone for the walk off winner.

84
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: It was set up by a fifty five yard chunk

85
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: pass from Gardner Minshew to Alec Pierce down the left

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: sideline that got the Colts down to the four yard line.

87
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: Then two plays later, Minshew found Michael Pittman Junior in

88
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: the back of the end zone for the game winning touchdown,

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: and it was Pierce and Pittman the heroes on offense.

90
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: They each went over one hundred yards receiving and for

91
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Pierce it was his first one hundred yard game of

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: his career. The special teams counted for ten points for

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: the Colts on a day when the offense had a

94
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: hard time winning in situational football. The Colts were just

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: one for five in the red zone and three for

96
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: fourteen on third down. The defense showed up again in

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: the pass rush, notching six more sacks on will Levis,

98
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: including two from Samson, Ebacom and Quitty pay and that

99
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: means the Colts have now racked up twenty one sacks

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: during their four game winning streak. It all adds up

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: to the Colts being seven and five with five games

102
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: to go, and it was another nail bier for the Colts.

103
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Their last three wins have been decided by seven points

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: or less, and they're now five and two in one

105
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: score games this season, including two overtime wins, after going

106
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: four to six in one in one score games last season. Again,

107
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: coming up on segment two tonight, we'll be joined by

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 2: Colts analyst Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights get their thoughts

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: on the win over the Titans, and we're also taking

110
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: your social media questions later in the show tonight again

111
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: hashtag Colts Roundtable to do that. But as promised, it's

112
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: now time to lead off the program with our weekly

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: chat with the head coach of the Colt, Shane Steichen,

114
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: as he's made his way into studio here, brought to

115
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: you by Citizens Energy Group. Coach, congratulations on the win

116
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: four in a row. Now for the Colts, what did

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: you make of the resiliency from the team and the

118
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: contributions you got from all three phases to get the win?

119
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was great, obviously a great team win.

120
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 5: Just the fight that those guys bring every single week

121
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: to Sundays is awesome to see. No matter what the

122
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: situation is, no matter what the scores, you keep fighting

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 5: till the end and obviously found a way there at

124
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: the end. A great job by the defense, you know,

125
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 5: really hold him to that field goal, and then offensively

126
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: going down and hitting that touchdown to Pitt to win it.

127
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: And then the special teams, I mean to get the

128
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: two block punts was phenomenal.

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you talked about it after the game,

130
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: but I mean, whatever you want to call it, the

131
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: wild scale, the insanity scale, the block punts, the two

132
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: point returns, the multiple reviews, overtime kickers are punting. The

133
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: game had everything. Where where does that game rank for

134
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: you in terms of the unpredictability.

135
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 5: Of it wildness? It's probably in my recent memory number one.

136
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: It had everything to it. It was a roller coaster

137
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: of a football game. I'm sure the fans loved watching it.

138
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: Probably gave some people some uh I don't know what

139
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: the word is, but uh yeah people heart Yeah, some heartburn.

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: There you go.

141
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: But you know what, found a way to win it

142
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: there at the end, which was the obviously the key.

143
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: Stat for the stock and PEPs at ac around Central

144
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: Indiana went up a little bit there. You talked about

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: the special teams. Brian Mason, how much of a tip

146
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: of the cap does he deserve. I mean at Notre

147
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: Dame last year when he was the special teams coordinator there,

148
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: the Iris blocked at least one punt and five consecutive games.

149
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: They had seven total in two thousand twenty two, and

150
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: as you said, the Colts essentially had to yesterday. How

151
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: rewarding of a day was it for him in his

152
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: first year here with the Colts.

153
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: That was huge obviously, you know, a huge credit to

154
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: him in the scheme that he had up in that

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: game was awesome. But you know, he works his tail off.

156
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: You know, had a chance to interview a whole bunch

157
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 5: of guys for that spot, and just the way his

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: mind worked and how fast he processed the game and

159
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: saw it. It's awesome and you know, very fortunate to

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 5: have him here on the staff.

161
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: You know, the guys who show out for you consistently

162
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: on special teams, you got a ton of them, right,

163
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Trevor Dinbo, Tony Brown, Grant Stewart, Shagoona, Loubie, Nick Cross.

164
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know I'm missing some guys there, but

165
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: how serious do those guys take their craft as they

166
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: try to turn the tide for the Colts every week?

167
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

168
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: No, I think that's big.

169
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: I think it's those guys understanding their role.

170
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: You know that.

171
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: You know they are a special teams player with obviously

172
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: value on the defensive side of the ball to but

173
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: you know, Tony Brown and Grant Stewart do a heck

174
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: of a job and a Loubie and like you said, Denbo,

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: all those guys know their role and they take it

176
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: very seriously on special teams and obviously it showed up.

177
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: You know, Nick Cross is another one of those guys

178
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: obviously that does a heck of a job for us

179
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 5: on special teams and you know he gets the block punt,

180
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 5: Tony Brown gets one, and Grant Stewart just plays, you know,

181
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: his tail off every Sunday on special team. So you know,

182
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: credit to those guys preparing every week.

183
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: And Shane sticking with us tonight on Colts Roundtable Live.

184
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: You had two one hundred yard receivers in the game,

185
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior and Alec Pierce. For Pittman, it was

186
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: his ninth game with at least eight catches. For Pierce

187
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: his first one hundred yard receiving game. Let's talk about

188
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: Pittman first. How have you seen him grow throughout the

189
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: course of the season and become and kind of develop

190
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: into the unquestionable go to target on this team.

191
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: Just think his consistency that he you know, goes about

192
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 5: his business with I've said this a few times about him,

193
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: but the way he works in the meeting rooms and

194
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 5: on the practice field, the way he's getting in out

195
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: of his breaks on game day, and just his strong

196
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: hands and his his catch radius has been awesome to see.

197
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 5: And you know, when we need to play, you know,

198
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 5: he makes it for us. And then you know, obviously

199
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: Alex having his you know, one hundred yard game obviously

200
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 5: got some you know opportunities there in that game to

201
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 5: hit some deep shots to him that we took advantage

202
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 5: of there and him making the play and just great

203
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 5: throws by Gardner, great protection by the offensive line. Yeah,

204
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 5: just really good to see overall.

205
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the mail bag. A few

206
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: questions here for head coach Chhane stiking tonight from the

207
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: fans get him in using hashtag Colts round table on

208
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: X You just kind of talked about it. The confidence

209
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: there with Michael Pittman. Junior Nick is asking what is

210
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: the confidence that you see in Pittman? Right, now compared

211
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: to when you you first started working with him back

212
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: in training camp.

213
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know, he's just growing every single

214
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: day and his conference is at all time high right now,

215
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 5: as it should be. You know, he was going out

216
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 5: and making plays and Gardener's delivering them the ball on

217
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: the offensive lines blocking for him really well, so you know,

218
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: he's making those strong contested catches obviously.

219
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: To start that.

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: You know, over time, I think we had four or

221
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: two left in the game. We got the ball back

222
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 5: and you know, we started off and we threw him

223
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 5: a little spot route right there and he had a

224
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 5: linebacker right there in another corner of safety right there.

225
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: Just a strong catch to start that drive was huge.

226
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: And then obviously the next play then we get the

227
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: defensive holding on him, and then we hit the big

228
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 5: one to Alec and then you know, then you hit

229
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 5: the big one, you know, to win the game to

230
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 5: him was huge. But his growth has been great to

231
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 5: see this year.

232
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's stay right there. This question is in

233
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: regards to that touchdown catch by Pittman to seal the win.

234
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: Chad is asking. Matt Ryan on the broadcast talked about

235
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: how when the secondary passes off receivers that both receivers

236
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: should then run the same route both cut in or

237
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: both cut out. What does he mean by that and

238
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: did you draw that up or was that instinctual by

239
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: Pittman on the game winner?

240
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's something you know that they had showed

241
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 5: on tape, you know, passing routes off, and you know

242
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: Jim Bob saw it on tape down there that they

243
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: would do that, and that's a concept that we've had

244
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: in our system, you know for a long time. Shoot

245
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 5: Peyton manning that concept in the system when he was

246
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: playing here in Indy and it worked out great. Obviously,

247
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 5: they passed it off and you know pitt wrapped around

248
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: it and the inside guy took Alex and then you

249
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: have naturally natural leverage to throw that back line right

250
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: there to Pittman.

251
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: So it worked out great.

252
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: Nailed it too from Gardner Minshew, Okay, Mike is asking

253
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: how important are the shots to pierce for the offense,

254
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: even if we don't hit him to open up other things.

255
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah no, they're big obviously, you know he's a guy

256
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 5: with speed that you can you know, go vertical and

257
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: catch those big home run balls. But it does it

258
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 5: sometimes that it might soften up a defense so you

259
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: can get the underneath stuff as well. But it's awesome

260
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 5: to have him as a deep throat.

261
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 2: All right, a few more windows up next. Can we

262
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: expect Grover Stewart to come back right into the starting

263
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: lineup or will he need to ramp up after six

264
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: weeks out of the lineup.

265
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: He'll be ready to go, He'll yeah, he'll be ready

266
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: to roll.

267
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: Grover will be chomping at the bit. Andy's up next.

268
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: What is your assessment of Gardner Minshew and crunch time

269
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: this season and how much poise does he show in

270
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: those big moments?

271
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 5: Ye know, he's done a heck of a job for us.

272
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: Obviously had the you know, the game winning drive against Baltimore,

273
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 5: you know in Baltimore, and then to have this one

274
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: as well just shows, you know, the preparation that he

275
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: puts into it. The guy's going out and executing him

276
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 5: delivering it on time and rhythm and those you know,

277
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: clutch situations. Been awesome to see from him, all right.

278
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: Last one with head coach Shane stiking from the fans,

279
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: This is coming from Jeff. Why do we see Nick

280
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: Cross get some more run on defense this week? And

281
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: what does he add to our secondary that he can

282
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: capitalize on.

283
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 5: Yah, know, it was just some of the packages that

284
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 5: Gus had up this week. But he's he's progressing and

285
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: growing every week, and we like where he's at from

286
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 5: a defensive standpoint, and so he's getting some more reps there.

287
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 6: Yep.

288
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,360

340
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: are you, sir? Take us through that overtime in your

341
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: living room? Set the scene for us?

342
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: Were you?

343
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: Were you pacing the floor like everybody else during overtime

344
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: trying to make sense of all the wackiness down in

345
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: Nashville yesterday?

346
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I just tell you Matt.

347
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: That was as wild as game as I can remember watching,

348
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: and I am just awful, thankful we came out on top.

349
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: I tell you what, you wake up today in overtime

350
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 4: victory of your division rival four game winning streak. You

351
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: know who has one of those in the AFC. I'll

352
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: read you the list, Indianapolis Colts and that's the end

353
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: of the list. And it's just a great feeling. I

354
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: know we'll get into the tape, but man, that was

355
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: just a wild game. I felt like with all the

356
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: craziness that happened, the game didn't even really start until

357
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: Cross blocks that pun at the end of the third quarter.

358
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: And I know we'll get into it, but man, that

359
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: was a fun one to be a part of.

360
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: Indeed, Rick, how you doing.

361
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: How's that pacemaker? Or do you need a new pacemaker?

362
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 6: I don't have one yet, but I'll tell you what,

363
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: if we keep playing like this, I'm telling you, and

364
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 6: they get bigger every week, we may have to install one.

365
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: To be honest with you, you know, I just it

366
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 6: just was fun though, I mean really, and Trullian Joe's right,

367
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: I mean, you just it just seemed like one scenario

368
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: out did another one play out did another and you know,

369
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 6: going back over the film, the one that I kind

370
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: of I kind of brushed over, but it was really

371
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 6: the game is quitties, you know, strip fumble, whatever you

372
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 6: want to call it, because you know, if that doesn't happen,

373
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 6: they're five yards from field goal range with about twenty

374
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 6: seconds to go, and that big play right there, you know,

375
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 6: the and obviously the ruling which is accurate, which you

376
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 6: can't you can't advance that fumble what is it the

377
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 6: last two minutes or fourth quarter or whatever, but that

378
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 6: made that created that second and seventeen and got them

379
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 6: out of field goal range.

380
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: Or we don't get to the over absolutely insane, you're

381
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: exactly right. So many things you can point to that

382
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: led to the Colts getting that win. And it's it's

383
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: really fascinating right now. The Colts played in so many

384
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: close games last year. They were on the wrong end

385
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: of a lot of bad breaks. This year, they're five

386
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: and two and one score games and two of those

387
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: wins are in overtime. The Colts have won two games

388
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: in overtime in the same season for the first time

389
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety five. All right, well, let's lead off

390
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: the segment like we normally do. Again, Rick and Joe

391
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: are here. They have both examined the game film from Sunday,

392
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: So let's roll it out. It's time now for the

393
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: tail of the tape.

394
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Well, baby raising hell today. Okay, let's let it go.

395
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 3: Bang bang, player, bang bang.

396
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: Keep the hammer down, keep talking to one another.

397
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: Minute, clean it up.

398
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 6: That's all.

399
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: Get ready, get ready?

400
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Tale of the Tape time here on

401
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Colts Roundtable Live. As we said, the Colts won their

402
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 2: fourth straight game. They're seven and five and the gameless nuts.

403
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: We saw explosive touchdowns. We had two block punts, a

404
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: special team's touchdown. We had a two point conversion returned

405
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: ninety nine yards for a score. We had a play

406
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: where a quarterback at a safety took turns fumbling the

407
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: ball back to one another. The game goes into overtime,

408
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: and it all ended with a Colt's walk off field

409
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: goal I should say, a walk off touchdown by Michael

410
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior, as the Colts got the ball in overtime

411
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: needing a field goal, and they won up the Titans

412
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: with that touchdown. So, Joe, what else stood out to

413
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: you on your tail of the tape after the Week

414
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 2: thirteen win for the Colts.

415
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, going in, Matt, this game really concerned me

416
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 4: just because you're playing a division rival the second game

417
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: of the season, a well coached ball club. Enfranchise, you

418
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: knew it was going to be a battle for sixty

419
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: minutes and end up taking sixty eight. But when you

420
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 4: think about there's two touchdowns in the first three minutes,

421
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: the quarterback throws a pick and gets a fumble on

422
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 4: the same play, and I mean those aren't even in

423
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: the top five moments up the game. I really did

424
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: feel like the game started with the block punt, and man,

425
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: what a great day to be Special teams coach Brian

426
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: Mason for the Colts because two block punts and I

427
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: love the one you know when we just we sprinted

428
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: from the gunner position and we went in there. If

429
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 4: you remember, New England ran that play early in the NFL,

430
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: and I was thinking that I had not seen that

431
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 4: play yet and was wondering when other teams were gonna

432
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: start copying it. But that was just a great play

433
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: by Tony Brown, just a great way to tee it up.

434
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: And you know what I love though, again, we finished

435
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 4: the game in the fourth quarter in overtime, and I'm

436
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: telling you, Matt, I'm starting to think about our defensive

437
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 4: line that when the game gets in the balance, like

438
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: I have this faith that they're gonna close it out.

439
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying Mathis and Frenier there and we

440
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: know that they're not. But I got that same type

441
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 4: of feeling when I played with those guys that hey,

442
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: tennessee first and ten on our forty seven, like Coach

443
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 4: mentioned needing ten yards to get a field goaling, what happened.

444
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 4: Our d line makes a play and when we get

445
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: Dio in there and Buckner and I love what we're

446
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: doing defensively, we get those really wide threes, four eyes,

447
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 4: and then you got Quitty and I'm telling you what,

448
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: those guys are getting confidence. They're gaining confidence together. And

449
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 4: our front four, something we've talked about, you know, for

450
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: four or five years, is really becoming a staple. And

451
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 4: then I think offensively, Pierce obviously big day, we'll get

452
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: into it. And Pittman another ten catch performance. But you

453
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: got to give credit to Minshew. Minshew threw the ball

454
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 4: forty two times for three hundred yards, and I tell

455
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: you what Minshew swag Minshew's attitude. Minshew not acting like

456
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: a backup by a starter. That's what allows you to

457
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: come in there down three and overtime, backed up and

458
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: just chuck it for sixty yards to Pierce and say,

459
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: we got this. Boys, I'm tired of being in Nashville.

460
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: Let's get on the plane and go home. And can't

461
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 4: can't give you enough credit to him. I thought that

462
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: offensive line, their defensive line really got after us. You know,

463
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: we weren't able to run the ball, just ran it,

464
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: you know, two point four in defensive line. We still

465
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 4: couldn't stop the run. But thank goodness, we got big

466
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: Grover coming back next week. So those are kind of

467
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: my overall thoughts. I know we'll dig into a little

468
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: bit more, but bottom line, you won a game against

469
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: a division rival when really it looked like about three

470
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: different times in the game it was going to get

471
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: away from you. And that's a credit to the belief

472
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: of the coaching staff, the players. That's a credit to

473
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: the culture that the veterans in this new coaching staff

474
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 4: has brought in. Uh just can't say enough about the

475
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: expectation and all that stuff. We're expected to win these

476
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: games and we're going out. We're winning them closing out,

477
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: and that's something we haven't seen for a long time

478
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 4: around here.

479
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: So I couldn't be more fired up about that.

480
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, as with a great announcer, Jack Buck once said,

481
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 6: I can't believe what I've just seen. I mean, it

482
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 6: was sixty eight minutes of bedlam, you know. And when

483
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: I do future shows and people ask me, have you

484
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: ever seen this before, I'm going to be answered. I'm

485
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 6: going to be able to answer this yes. In December

486
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 6: twenty three in Nashville. You know, after the game, I

487
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 6: felt like I felt good, exhaustion, almost similar to what

488
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 6: I used to coach, almost numb. And I think the win,

489
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 6: to me was a testament to coach stich In and

490
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 6: Abandon brothers, who really, in this one just simply refuse

491
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 6: to lose. I mean they could have folded many times,

492
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 6: but they did not. And it's a little bit with Joseph.

493
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 6: This version of the Horseshoes seems to find a way

494
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 6: to win games, not a way to lose games. The

495
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 6: game ball goes directly to special teams. I mean Coach

496
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 6: Mason and company. I mean we slaughtered them and it did.

497
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 6: Did The game started at the end of the third quarter.

498
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 6: The two block punts or whatever you wanted to call them.

499
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: They created ten points. Obviously the injury, which is you know,

500
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: was sad, but it also affected the missed extra point. Yeah,

501
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 6: no question about it. I looked at it close today.

502
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 6: What's his name, Tannehill was really tentative. And then you

503
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: know a couple of good returns, including the one after

504
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 6: they went right down and scored on us and Mack

505
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 6: brought that thing out to the fifty, which was kind

506
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 6: of an answer to that. But it just was a great,

507
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: great effort. Offensive balls you know, belonged to Pierce, Pittman

508
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 6: and Minshew. Know, the Titans really shut down the run.

509
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 6: They played tough in the reb zone, which we expected.

510
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 6: They actually blitzed very effectively, but they gave up the

511
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 6: bombs to Alex and they couldn't stop the moving chains

512
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 6: ability of Pittman inside the numbers. I'm I'm begging for it,

513
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 6: and finally we get it to him in that red

514
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 6: zone for a touchdown, you know, and Pierce finally gave

515
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 6: us the two plays that we drafted him for. And Pittman,

516
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 6: I have to laugh. I think Pittman is like an

517
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 6: all pro, like a Hall of Fame tight end in

518
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 6: a wide receiver's number. I mean, this guy can just

519
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 6: kill it inside and people want to criticize Minshew. I'm

520
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 6: totally with Joe, and quarterbacks are never perfect. But when

521
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: that game was on the line, I mean, he threw

522
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 6: a dime. He threw over three hundred yards. He's fourteenth

523
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 6: in the league in QBR and we're seven and five

524
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 6: with him, So please give him some luck. Love, Okay,

525
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 6: this guy so much better than people are giving him

526
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: credit for, and I've been saying him week after week.

527
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 6: And then defensive the ball, you know, the run played good,

528
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 6: but Ebucon and pay really get the game ball. But

529
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: again they made plays and they're consistently now making plays,

530
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 6: strip sacks and critical plays that are literally winning us

531
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 6: a game. The defense again atrocious versus the run one

532
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 6: seventy seven, but key sacks changed the game. And they're

533
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 6: and again they're like turnovers, they're erasers, they make the difference.

534
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 6: I think Ebucom is really becoming a force off the

535
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 6: blind side. I mean, you know, you look at him now.

536
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 6: He has an array. He's shown us now a tool

537
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 6: kit of moves, and he's showing it every Sunday. He

538
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 6: is a weapon Quid. He's growing. You know, he's getting

539
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: his effort sacks, which he always did. But the strip

540
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 6: bumble was a you know what we what we call

541
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 6: hump in the business. I mean, he took that tackle

542
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: and took him and threw him and came back inside,

543
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 6: got his hand on the ball and you know that

544
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 6: was That was with seconds to go in the fourth quarter.

545
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 6: So you know, we now have eight strip sacks, which

546
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 6: leads the league. And really the Colts used a bearfront

547
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 6: for three steps. Hallelujah. Hopefully and hopefully Grover's return will

548
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 6: stop the bleeding. I also thought a shout out should

549
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 6: go to Baker. I thought Baker really has come back

550
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 6: from that you know, that benching and has played his

551
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 6: tail off. You know, I think in closing a win

552
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 6: like this in the emergence of the deep ball to Alex,

553
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 6: remember we've been playing this game on a ten yard field.

554
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 6: That totally changes things now and I think that can

555
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 6: have a terrific effect going quarter, you know, just the

556
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 6: type of win getting to throwing the ball deep. This

557
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: team has the wind at its back, and as one

558
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 6: of my friends says, it's on to Cincinnati.

559

586
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: we teased, we always like to kind of put things

587
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: into context on this third segment of the show. Like

588
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: we talked about the Colts are, they're a thrilling team

589
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: right now. They're seven to five, they're on a four

590
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: game winning streak. They've had some blockbuster moments so far,

591
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: including yesterday's big overtime win in Nashville. So let's talk

592
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: about where the Colts are at with five games to

593
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: go in relation to some movie titles. You guys ready

594
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: for this one. This is kind of a stretch, but

595
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: let's have some fun here.

596
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: Rick, I am excited.

597
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're a movie guy. Joe.

598
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 3: What about you? Rick?

599
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: I know you like the classics.

600
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 6: Oh, oh, I am a movie guy. Absolutely. I hope.

601
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 6: I'm hoping to go see Napoleon with Miss Sherry later

602
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 6: this week.

603
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

604
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 6: I'm inute, yeah, no, no no, and Oppenheimer. I do

605
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: like a little bit of the you know, historical concepts.

606
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 6: But I'll tell you my latest favorite has been Maverick.

607
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 6: I just think the Top Gun series, huh, i'mino.

608
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: That came out a couple year years ago. I think

609
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 2: that's a blockbuster, right in line with the Colts big

610
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: plays in overtime yesterday. So let's go with You brought

611
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: this up after the game with Alec Pierce, Rick, so

612
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: I have to give you full credit for this one.

613
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce is the Return of the Jedi, right, The

614
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: Return of the Jedi came out in nineteen eighty three.

615
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: And I've never seen Star Wars, all right, don't at me, Okay,

616
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: I've never seen it. I've never really got into it.

617
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. There's prequels, there's the order of

618
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: the movies is just backwards to me. But it's the

619
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: third installment in the original Star Wars trilogy.

620
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: I do know that.

621
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: And one explosive return of the Colts offense there for

622
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce on Sunday, going into the game, he only

623
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: had twenty two catches in the first eleven, but he

624
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: finished the day in Nashville career high one hundred yards

625
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: on three catches, had the thirty six yard touchdown in

626
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: the first quarter, then in overtime maybe the biggest play

627
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: of the game, the fifty five yarder to set up

628
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: the game winning touchdown a couple of plays later. So, Rick,

629
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: I gotta give you a full credit there on the

630
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: turn of the Jedi. How much did Alex you know,

631
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: production return to this offense. How much does that matter

632
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: going forward starting in that week thirteen win.

633
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 6: Oh, I think it can be absolutely huge. And you

634
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 6: know the Jedi. Now, I got to tell you my

635
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 6: fifty one year old son, Jason. He is a very

636
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 6: successful businessman, but his finished basement is all done in

637
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 6: Star Wars stuff. So that's part of our family. But

638
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: here's the thing with Alex. You know, when we drafted Alex,

639
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 6: I was thrilled to death. I mean, he had run

640
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 6: the four four one. He is legitimately a fast guy,

641
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 6: and I felt like we're going to have the guy

642
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: that can take the top off of the defense. And

643
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 6: you know, as a rookie he flashed. I mean there

644
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 6: was times that you know, he looked fast. There were

645
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 6: times he did get on top. I think he finished

646
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 6: with a fourteen point five yards per catch, you know,

647
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 6: so there was really good numbers. And then the training

648
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 6: camp just didn't go well, you know, all of a sudden,

649
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 6: he kind of disappeared. I mean for a while, looked

650
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: like he was on the witness taxing program, you know.

651
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 6: And I think, you know, part of it is Pittman

652
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 6: is so reliable, You're gonna get him a lot of volume,

653
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 6: you know. And then and then Downs was coming on

654
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 6: so quick in the slot and he kind of became

655
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 6: the forgotten man. But the problem with that is you

656
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 6: end up playing the game, as I said before, on

657
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 6: a ten to fifteen yard vertical feel and basically teams

658
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 6: close run and they closed the possession passes. So this

659
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 6: was fantastic for him to come out and really give

660
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 6: us what we drafted him for. This is what we

661
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 6: drafted him for. And I think that the deep threat

662
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 6: that he would give, and I think Minshew has to

663
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: come out of there with confidence, and you know, Shane

664
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 6: more importantly will come out of there with some confidence

665
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 6: that we can air that dog on thing out and

666
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: I think that changes everything. So yeah, I think the

667
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 6: return of the Jedi was huge. We don't get to

668
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 6: win without it yesterday. But number two, I think looking

669
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 6: forward it has a big impact.

670
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: What do you think think there, Joe? You a Star

671
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: Wars guy, and how does that relate to Alec Pierce here?

672
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 4: I have not seen a Star Wars ever, and my

673
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 4: in laws don't like me for it, but all good.

674
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: I'm sticking to my guns. They're same thing.

675
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: Kind of too confusing, but I will say this that

676
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: that was a great game for Pierce, and you hope

677
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: that that's just the beginning.

678
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: And I think it's two fold, and Coach touched on it.

679
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: It's Pierce's confidence and you know, running that fifty yard route,

680
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: having the fifty to fifty ball go up and winning it.

681
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: You know, it wasn't just one, but it was two.

682
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: And I mean obviously the touchdown early on for thirty six,

683
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: with that fifty five yard or with the game and

684
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: the balance, I mean that was just awful. Impressive, great

685
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: ball and great tough catch. So hopefully he can come

686
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 4: out of there with confidence, you know for some of

687
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 4: these contested catches to make him. But I agree it

688
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: can bring a whole new dynamic to this offense, and

689
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: Tennessee's playing was we're gonna blitz early and often, We're

690
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 4: gonna put guys in his face and force Minshew into mistakes. Well,

691
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: guess what, Minshew came away with it at the end

692
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: of the day and he stood in there and made

693
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: those couple throws. I love that, But I'm thinking, you know,

694
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 4: we can run more hard play action throw balls. And

695
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: I think what I like out of these receivers is

696
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: we're starting to get guys that can do some different things.

697
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 4: You can put Pittman inside of the slot and you

698
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: can put Downs outside. You can put Pierce outside, and

699
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: I think, you know, Downs isn't a true burner, but

700
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 4: he gets open as good as anybody else on the team.

701
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: And I think we got some different things conceptually. We

702
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 4: can work within the passing game down the stretch, and

703
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: I agree with coach it should give Shane a lot

704
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 4: of confidence to throw up some more. So hats off

705
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: to my old teammate Reggie Wayne. You can see his

706
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: influence with those guys in the route running with the

707
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: confidence and those young receivers, they're growing up right before eyes.

708
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: No doubt about a good point right there, on Reggie Wayne.

709
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: That's Joe Wright's Rick Van Terry along. I'm Matt Taylor.

710
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to our second movie title here. I don't

711
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: know if it's a classic, but I do no folks

712
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: in their forties and early fifties love this movie. How

713
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: about House Party? Did you ever see this movie on

714
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: like TBS growing up late at night?

715
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

716
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I saw it, and you're always like, man,

717
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: why can't we have a party like that?

718
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: Where were those parties in high school?

719
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 4: Like?

720
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: And nobody I was around ever did anything fun like that,

721
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: But it looked cool to watch it on TV.

722
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the high school and the college parties depicted on

723
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: TV and movies, they're never like the ones I went to.

724
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: I do know that.

725
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: But this is where kid decides to go to his

726
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: friend plays house party. Neither of them really can predict

727
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: what's in store for him for a wild night. But

728
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: the Colts through a wild party on special Teams. How

729
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: about that having a block party on Titans punts? How

730
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: about the special teams party? Rick Venturi Matt Gay four

731
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: for four on field goals, but the Colts Special teams

732
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: leading to ten points for the game on a day

733
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: where the offense really kind of struggled situationally on third down,

734
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: red zone and goal to go.

735
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: Well, there's no question about it. And you know, the

736
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: special teams around here really for a long time has

737
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 6: kind of been our signature. Really, it's always been something

738
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: that we counted on. Yesterday, it was the declaration of independence.

739
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 6: There wasn't just one signature. I mean, it was tremendous.

740
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 6: I've never seen one team slaughter another one like that

741
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 6: and totally change the game, affect the game. I mean,

742
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 6: I've never seen a team ever recover and they almost did,

743
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 6: but I've never seen a team recover from one block

744
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 6: kick much less too, and as you said, affect the

745
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 6: extra point. And you know, and I actually thought that

746
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 6: a couple of returns were decent by Mac. But I

747
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 6: just think it was a great performance by coach Mason

748
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 6: and his guys. They were schooled. You know. We had

749
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 6: just talked about that, what Joe was talking about, we

750
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 6: had when we played the Patriots. We talked about that

751
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 6: in the in our podcast about that off the edge run,

752
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 6: off the edge block and man o the edg old

753
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 6: Tony got going and man he was accelerating, but just

754
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 6: a phenomenal performance. I mean, it's very seldom when you

755
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: see a team, just a unit just absolutely win a

756
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 6: game for you.

757
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: I agree, And to add on what coach said, I

758
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: thought that, you know, just schematically was good that first

759
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: block punt. It was a five verse three overload, but

760
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 4: we had all four guys really really wide on the

761
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 4: edge and that confused Tennessee and their protection. And then

762
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: yeah Brown, I mean he was there right when it happened.

763
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: And coach, you made a great point about the extra point.

764
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: Because they make that and they're up one now with

765
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 4: five minutes left. That's a completely different story. That clearly

766
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 4: had an effect on that miss Pat. So bottom line,

767
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: it's complimentary football and special teams gets talked about on

768
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: these types of shows. Yeah, probably seven percent of the

769
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 4: time at best, but it's an equal third of the game.

770
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 4: And the Colts dominated the kicking game yesterday, and I

771
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 4: agree with complimentary football wins. And they always say, you know,

772
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 4: when you go on the road in December or you

773
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 4: go in the playoffs, you pack your defense, you pack

774
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: your kicking game, and you pack your running game, and

775
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 4: those types of things show up when it matters to

776
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 4: win football games. So kudos to the Colts for really

777
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: playing that complimentary football. I mean, Matt, you think about it.

778
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 4: We were one to five in the red zone, we

779
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 4: were three or fourteen on third down, We rushed for

780
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 4: two point four a carry, and we won a road

781
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: football game. And that's primarily because of the unit we're

782
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 4: talking right now, and that's Mason and the special teams.

783
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely right there.

784
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: Rick Venturi Joe writes, this is Colts around Table Live.

785
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: I'm Matt Taylor. Quickly, we got about one minute before

786
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: we have to hit another break here. Fellas the go

787
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: to movie because right now, the go to player for

788
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: the Colts is Michael Pittman Junior. We chronicled it already.

789
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean he had eleven catches for one hundred and

790
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: five yards the game winning touchdown. I mean Sunday was

791
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 2: his ninth game this season with at least eight catches,

792
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: and he's recorded at least that many and five straight.

793
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: So he's the go to guy.

794
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: I want to know, Joe, what's your.

795
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: Go to movie?

796
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: Like your favorite movie or the movie that's on that

797
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: you have to stop and watch at least a few

798
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: minutes because it's that good despite you maybe seeing it.

799
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: You know, ten to fifteen times.

800
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 4: I think the best rewatchability movie is Shawshank Redemption because

801
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: anytime it comes on.

802
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: I knew somebody was going to go there.

803
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can always go there for five or seven minutes.

804
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what, Matt, when you talk about Pittman,

805
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 4: you got to throw it back to the future because

806
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 4: I know you love that.

807
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: And you know what Pittman does.

808
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: He just keeps doing it and doing it and doing

809
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 4: it game in and game out, just like you know

810
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: the repetitiveness with doctor Emmitt Brown and your boy McFly.

811
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: That's right, Marty has to go back in time get

812
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: the the sports Albanak and he has to do it

813
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: over and over and over. That's where Michael Pittman Junior

814
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 2: just keeps on getting eight catches after eight catches.

815
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: Rick, what about you?

816
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 2: What is your favorite? Like it's on in the middle

817
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: of the day on a weekend, on a Saturday, but

818
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: you gotta stop and watch at least for a little bit.

819
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 6: Few good men, uh few go Yeah, best last twenty

820
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 6: minute dialogue by by Nicholson and Cruz in History of Mankind.

821
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 6: To be honest with you, it was just absolutely awesome

822
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 6: and you gotta love Pittman brings the toolbox, he goes

823
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 6: to work, he does the blue collar stuff. Like I said,

824
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 6: he is probably a Hall of Fame tight end. And

825
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 6: you got to take this the right way. I mean

826
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 6: this totally complimentary. In a wide receiver's number. This is

827
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 6: a guy with number four in the league with catches,

828
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 6: but number ninety four on yards after the you know,

829
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 6: yards per catch. But if you look at it, that

830
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 6: is right in the middle of all the great tight ends.

831
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 6: And what Shane has done a great job is he's

832
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 6: now really learned. And this is why I think we're

833
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 6: just going to get better and better, which we saw

834
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 6: with Peers, but he has he has really learned how

835
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 6: to use Pittman inside the numbers and and Pittman is

836
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 6: just a star in there and the more motion and

837
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 6: bunches where they get him free access in there because

838
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 6: he's big. He's got that, you know, he's got he's

839
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 6: got length, and he's got toughness between the numbers. You

840
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 6: can't you just can't. You can't put a major on that.

841
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 6: And he's so reliable and on that walkoff red zone,

842
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 6: you know me, I was begging for it. Please get

843
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 6: Pittman the ball. In the red zone, and that was

844
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 6: the walk off. We did it when we needed it.

845
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't think Pittman ordered the code red though, Rick you,

846
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he did that.

847
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 6: Who he reminds me of. He used Reggie in a

848
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 6: different context before, from a coaching context. But what Pittman

849
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 6: reminds me is Reggie in the second half of his career.

850
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 6: Reggie in the beginning of his career was a tremendous

851
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 6: outside receiver, but in the second half of his career

852
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 6: he became a tremendous inside and receiver. That's why I

853
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 6: think he's a Hall of Famer, because I think he

854
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 6: made a transition and did both things. And what Pitman

855
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 6: reminds me more of Reggie in the second half of

856
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 6: his career, when it was all about route running and

857
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 6: quickness and toughness and catching in close quarters and all

858
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 6: that stuff.

859
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: All right, that I like it. That's a fun way

860
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: to look at the Colts game from Sunday and with

900
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: He's up first tonight, Joe. Why do we seem to

901
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: have the mental fortitude to win close games this year?

902
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: Compared to last year?

903
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: It's been a complete one eighty Matt and That's the

904
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 4: thing I'm most excited about this team is just that

905
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 4: attitude in that culture and that belief of winning football

906
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: and no matter what happens, we're going to win the game.

907
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 4: And I think Shane has brought that. I think the

908
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: leaders of this team have brought that. I think the

909
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 4: swagger and attitude of our quarterback has brought that. When

910
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 4: you're playing with a quarter and he's just got kind

911
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: of that vibe that Minshew does, you just always feel

912
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 4: like you're gonna win the game. And that's how I

913
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: felt when eighteen was here. That's how I felt when

914
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: twelve was here, That's how I felt watching when Philip

915
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 4: Rivers was here. But when Philip Rivers walked out of

916
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 4: that locker room, I felt like the culture and the

917
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 4: belief of just tough winning football no matter what kind

918
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 4: of left and I really feel like we got it

919
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 4: back now. And that's what makes me most excited, because

920
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, your organization you're building

921
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 4: has got to have a culture that's about winning football

922
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 4: and belief and accountability and toughness and all of those things,

923
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: and that's what that's what separates, you know, the winners

924
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 4: and losers in the NFL, and I really feel like

925
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: we got that back and that's what fires me up

926
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 4: here down the stretch as we legit head into what's

927
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 4: going to be a playoff run with his Colts team.

928
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, five games to go, the Colts have everything in

929
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: front of him. There again, that's Joe Wright sor right.

930
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rick vent Turrey. I know you guys

931
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier on in the show. Shane Steikin

932
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: talked about it on segment number one, Rick, But Nick

933
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: is asking what gave us so much trouble in the

934
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: red zone on Sunday. Prior to the Colts had been

935
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: so good. I think going into that game, Rick, the

936
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 2: Colts had scored ten out of fifteen trips in the

937
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: red zone. But just I think in two games against

938
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: Tennessee this year, the Colts were combined two for ten

939
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns inside the twenty yard line.

940
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, we knew this was going to be a challenge.

941
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 6: We were eight going in, but they were number four.

942
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 6: I mean, of all the things that they did, they

943
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 6: did that best and it was kind of a carry

944
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 6: over a plan to the rest of the game plan.

945
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 6: I mean, they were going to stop Moss they were

946
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 6: going to stop the run up front. That was not

947
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 6: They weren't going to have a repeat of that first

948
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 6: ball game. Then they were going to close off the edges,

949
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 6: which people haven't been doing with Minshew, and then play

950
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 6: a real tough, aggressive Manda man and blitz if they

951
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 6: needed to to stop us. And they were really they

952
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 6: were successful. I mean, it took us sixty eight minutes,

953
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 6: it took us five shots to finally get a touchdown.

954
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 6: I did think, and you know, I guess it's a

955
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 6: semi criticism. I did think that Shane was uncharacteristically conservative

956
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 6: in the red zone. He had three different series where

957
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 6: it was run run pass and you know, basically they

958
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 6: had that stop they had and Joe alluded to it early.

959
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 6: They they dominated our front on the running game and

960
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 6: they didn't let Mosquet going. And then they did a

961
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 6: good job. The one time that we tried to get

962
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 6: Minshew out there on a zone read option pass, they

963
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 6: had it all covered. They had him stop, they had

964
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 6: him stop on the edge. And then in one series

965
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 6: they blitzed off both edges and that was that was

966
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter, I think, and and basically killed

967
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 6: us and forced the field goals so they did a

968
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 6: real good job. I think the thing that I would

969
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 6: like to see us more, and we finally did it.

970
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 6: It was finally the walkof is I think, and I

971
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 6: think we're doing the right thing. We're normally very creative

972
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 6: down there with Wildcat with our best runs using Minshew

973
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 6: on the edge, but I think the guy that we

974
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 6: really have to involve there as Pittman. I just think

975
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 6: that Pittman can go get fifty to fifty balls, he

976
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 6: can go inside. And actually the touchdown was really a

977
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 6: great design. You know. We got out there in a

978
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 6: slot and on first down we threw a double slant

979
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 6: and they stopped it to Pierce and then we came

980
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 6: back and Pittman at the slot went out like he

981
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 6: was gonna pick for Pierce coming under, and as he

982
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 6: set that up, then he turned and pivoted and ran

983
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 6: to the post and just lost them, which was another

984
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 6: very creative play by there. But I mean, you know,

985
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 6: we had our hands full. They're they're just really really good,

986
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 6: and basically they took away what we did best down there.

987
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 6: But finally we got it to Pittman when the game

988
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 6: was on the line.

989
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 4: And won it.

990
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: All right, That's the Mailbag segment tonight, Rick Vin, Terry,

1011
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: coming up in just a moment, but it's now time

1012
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: for the closing arguments from Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights.

1013
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 2: Their final thoughts on the week thirteen win over the

1014
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: Titans and Joe four in a row. I mean, the

1015
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: Colts are now seven and five. They're winning in dramatic ways,

1016
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: but wins are wins, and what tells you that this

1017
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: winning streak can continue for the Colts getting ready for

1018
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: another road test in Cincinnati next Sunday.

1019
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think the Colts are playing well, and I

1020
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 4: think Joe Burrow ain't playing for the Bengals. And you

1021
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 4: know we mentioned Reggie earlier. So one of my favorite

1022
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 4: quotes from reg was keep the losers losing. The Bengals

1023
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 4: play the Jags here in a couple hours. It's going

1024
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 4: to be on a short week. They're most likely going

1025
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: to lose their fourth in a row tonight in Jacksonville.

1026
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 4: So they're struggling in there, and we cannot give them

1027
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 4: any belief. Next Sunday, go in there, pour it on

1028
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 4: them early against Jake Browning and let them know that

1029
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: we're for real, and you know they're they're packing it

1030
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: and feeling sorry for themselves and licking their wounds. So

1031
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 4: but coach, I know you got the tape q'ed up

1032
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 4: on the Bengals. What are they like without Burrow?

1033
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 6: Now? Well, honestly, and I don't know that it's just

1034
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 6: the Borough factor, but they've gone from an elite, elite

1035
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 6: team in January to a team that's fighting for relevance.

1036
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 6: I mean, and I'll just give you two statistics because

1037
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 6: we're you know, we've got to shut it down. But

1038
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 6: they're twenty seventh in offense. Browning may be better with

1039
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 6: a week under his belt. We'll see tonight, you know,

1040
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 6: but he's very little used. And this is what's staggering.

1041
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 6: They're number thirty one in total defense. This was a

1042
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 6: team that was number six in January and points give

1043
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 6: it up. And it's almost mind bolwing to me, you know,

1044
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 6: the demise of the Bengals. But they'll be ready, and

1045
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 6: they'll be ready at home, and you know it'll be

1046
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 6: a what is that Interstate seventy four?

1047
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 5: Nice?

1048
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, right down to the Queens City on the banks

1049
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: of the Ohio to pay Corpse Stadium down there. All right,
