1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. How's it going great? I'm good. What do

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: you see from this Colts defense? Yeah? I think this

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: is once again one of the top defenses in the league. Um,

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: great front, great in the back end, great linebackers. So

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: they got the players and obviously it's a little new

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: scheme compared to last year with Gus Bradley, but they've

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: obviously done a really good job this year and tackles

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: for loss pressures and all that, so you know they're

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: getting back there to the quarterback and just a really

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: good defense, and um, we just gotta be ready to go. Matt.

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned after the game on Sunday that you put

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: in a little lecture work last week with some other guys.

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Is that one of those things that just carrying over

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: into this week, put a little lecture to go into

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: this Sunday? Yeah, I think. Um, you want to just

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: find ways to improve as a unit and as an offense,

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: and whatever we can do to communicate better and get

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: on the same page is important, and we have our

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: meetings every day, but we also want to make sure

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: that we go through plays that maybe we didn't hit

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: in practice or looks that we might see in the

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: game and it's always good to get the extra mental reps.

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, you might not get it on the field,

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: but if we can talk through it and get it

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: in the film room, that's always good. What's all the

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: journey to strive for consistency? A should go about what

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to improve on on a daily basis. Yeah,

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: I think, um, consistency is comes with hard work and execution. Really,

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: you got to be able to do it every day

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: and obviously starts in practice and that's the important part.

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, we definitely want to be more consistent, and

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: that kind of goes back to your process as an

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: individual player. What can I do to be a better quarterback?

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: And how am I putting myself in a position to

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: do that? So, um, it's kind of individually focused. And

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: then you know with that, when one guy does it,

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: then you got to get all eleven guys to do

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: it and that's where the consistency comes from. Do you

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: think you guys are still trying to figure out in

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: some ways who you are offensively? Um? Yeah, I think

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: that's part of it. I think every week there's a

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: different game plan, which is good. That's how we've been

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: around here, and we try to attack defenses and with

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: our defense, they try to attack their offense. So, um,

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: we always have a little bit, you know, things we

46
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: want to do extra or differently for a certain week,

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: but um, for the most part, we know what we

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: want to do, and um, we want to improve on

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: the areas that we weren't good, whether it was the

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: last week or in the past couple of games, and

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: just improve. So definitely a lot of things that improve

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: on and we're just going to try and fight to

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: do that. Have you seen from Monree in past protection

54
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: and pass route running? Yeah, I think our backs have

55
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: done a great job and more as he's a really

56
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: really good um runner with the ball in his hands,

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: whether that's catching or you know, getting the handoffs, and

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: he's done a really good job in pass protection. He's

59
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: just strong, big, big dude. So definitely, you know, happy

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: with him there. And obviously Damien's the same way, and

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: the younger backs and everybody, Um, they've watched them and

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: done the same same stuff. So all the backs um

63
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: know what to do, know how they're supposed to do it.

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: And then obviously you know it's always good to see

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: them putting in good effort on pass protection. Which sometimes

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: goes unnoticed, but it shouldn't. You know, it's a really

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: big part of someplace. Mac. I imagine one of the

68
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: things you guys want to improve upon is the turnovers.

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: But what do you see? Just is there anything you

70
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: can put your finger on with the turnovers? And how

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: eager are you guys just to play a clean game

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: all that? Yeah, I think that's important. The ball is

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: number one and we got to do a better job

74
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: with that, and I do too, So definitely just watch

75
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: the tape and see what we can do better. But

76
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: they're part of the game and you just got to

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: move on from them, and we're trying to identify, you know,

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: how we can be better, and that's the important part,

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: right You just go about your day and run the

80
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: play how it's supposed to be executed, and if it's

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: not there, then just throw it away and move on

82
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: to the next play. When we talked to Matt last week,

83
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: he mentioned you guys have a long conversation about the

84
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: three levels of throws and sort of when you want

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: to make those throws. Yeah, do you feel like you're

86
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: finding a better I once with that as a group

87
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: on how you attack teams and hit all three levels

88
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: of the field. Yeah, I think as always short, medium,

89
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and long, and however it comes, it just goes down to,

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, taking what the defense gives, whether that's the

91
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: short or the medium or the long m If your

92
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: long guys open, then you want to get him the

93
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: ball of If he's not, then work through your progression

94
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it always goes back to

95
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: taking what the defense gives. What do you see him

96
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: from that Gilmore? Oh, yeah, he looks great. I think

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I was here with him just for a little bit. Obviously,

98
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's injured and stuff, but he looks great

99
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: out there. He's just a great cornerback and still is.

100
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: And you can tell they're putting him out there and

101
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: he's locking down the guys for the most part of

102
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: just covering him, you know, one on one and doing

103
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: his thing. So he's definitely still a premier cornerback. And

104
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I have all the respect in the world for him

105
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: and how he treated me when I was here young,

106
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: just some of the information that he gave me in

107
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: the training room or just at his locker. So he's

108
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: definitely an all time dude, and you know, excite to

109
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: go against them again here talk about some of those

110
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: short throws. Mac. We saw it looked like some of

111
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: the rposum Sunday that we'd asked you about, I don't know,

112
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe a month ago or so and said, you know,

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: you liked him in college, and yeah, they're cool, I think,

114
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: is how you describe them? Yeah? Is that something that

115
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: you'd like to do more of moving forward? Is that

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: just a game plan thing or is that something that

117
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: you guys think you'll be able to build on. Yeah.

118
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I think that it just depends on the week and

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: how you want to attack. And you look at the

120
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: NFL and every offense is running, for the most part,

121
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: some version of them. Some people are RPO heavy, and

122
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: some people just have a dose of them. So it

123
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: can't be your whole offense, but definitely just adds a

124
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: different layer to your offense. So I want to be

125
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: able to do whatever we want at any time in

126
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: the game, run the ball, throw a play action, RPO, etc.

127
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: So definitely need to improve in other areas too to

128
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: kind of allow those plays to happen. And but those

129
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: are good, good plays overall. Path. I remember last year

130
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: when the people were talking about dink and dunk and

131
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: maybe the rains being in the passing game. You said

132
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: something to the effect of, you'll never go broke if

133
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: you always take a profit. Yeah, is that still a

134
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: general philosophy of us? Yeah, it will always it will

135
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: always be that way. So yeah, Actually, my high school

136
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, um Coach Lance, he told me that

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: he's like, he used to call me Sunshine to say,

138
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: like Sunshine, you'll never go broke taking a profit. So

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: we ran the wing tea. So if the back was open,

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: give it to him and let him get the five

141
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: ten yards and good things will happen. All good. Thanks guys,
