1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: What's up?

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Everyone? Welcome into another episode of Instant Reaction here on

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: the Colts Audio Network and on the Colts YouTube page.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: I'm JJ Stankowitz, joined every week by Colts Ring of

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks, as we break down the Colts'

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: latest game. Bill, Colts are winners in their second preseason game,

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: twenty one to thirteen over the Arizona Cardinals. Here's the

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: part of the bit where I say, that's the only

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: time we bring up the score on this podcast, even

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: though the Colts did get the win. Bill, not none

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: of the starters played, but almost none of the starters

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: played is a poor grammatical way to put it. You

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: saw a couple guys out there who will get to

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: Nick Cross and Juju Brentz, I think most notably. But

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: no Anthony Richardson, no Joe Flacco down the offense, No

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman, Junior Ady Mitchell, Alec Pierce. None of them played.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: You did not see any Kylon Granson, Moley Cox obviously,

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 2: no Jonathan Taylor, and then the entire starting five offensive

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: line also did not play. So Bill, let's start with

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: a quarterback. So I thought, on a hole had a

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: pretty good game. And I think the big question I

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: have here is is there a bit more of a

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: competition for QB three than maybe we would have thought

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: coming into training camp.

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: You know what, I think it might be JJ. You know,

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: as you said, I think I thought all three quarterbacks

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: played well. They did some nice things. You saw being

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, take a team down the field for

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: two touchdown, two scores, and so it's good to see

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: that by the cap by those backups there. And you know,

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Sam played well, he did a nice job out there.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: So I think there's a little batter. Those guys are

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: not only battling of course here for the Nneapolis coach,

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: but they want to get all that stuff on tape.

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Sam still wants to get stuff on tape. You know,

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: he's done well in the preseason, He's done well when

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: he had his opportunity to get into the games, and

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: being in Slovastate also did a good job. So give

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: those guys credit for what they did. And that's what

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: you want to do if you're a backup or a

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: young guy, you want to have an opportunity to get

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: some game on tape, so not only the team that

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: you're playing for can see what you can do when

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: it's game time. But also the other thirty one teams

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: that will watch this film and see who they may

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: bring that if the coaches cut or whomver they cut,

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: they could probably bring into their team for the season

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: or for a practice squad or possibly making their roster.

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: So it's good for those guys to play well, and

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: it's good that you want to make it difficult for

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the coaches. You want to make it difficult for the

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: coaches to make decisions, and that's their job as far

53
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: as players to be professionals, go out there and play

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: and play hard and play well. And I thought the

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: quarterbacks did that last night.

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: So I talked about this on the pregame show with

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: You Bill where I was kind of asked about that

58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: third quarterback. And the important point here is the NFL's

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: new emergency quarterback rule that last year stipulated you had

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: to carry that emergency quarterback on the fifty three man roster.

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: Now you can carry that guy on the practice squad.

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: So if the Colts decide, hey, we want Sam Ellinger

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: to be that guy, they can put him on the

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: practice squad. But to get to the practice squad, Bill,

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: you have to clear waivers and there could be a

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: team that looks at Sam Ellinger and says we just

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: found our backup quarterback and we want to claim them

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: on waivers. And Shane Steichen was very complimentary of sam

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: Ellinger after the game yesterday. He said, he's a great

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: leader in that room. He's a very smart football player.

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: He's kind of got, you know, a little bit of

72
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: playmaking to him. And he said, quote, but he battles,

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: he scratches, he claws. Love everything about Sam. So I

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: thought that was notable, just because I think it's exciting.

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: It's exciting to see Jason Bean right like this guy.

76
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: He's a really exciting football player. Let's not forget sam

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: Ellnger is going into his fourth year in the NFL.

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: He knows what to do. He's an incredible, incredibly cerebral

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: player and someone who is a real asset in that

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: quarterback room. So let's not forget. Essentially, this is me

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: saying let's not forget about Sam Ellnger exactly. Having said that,

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: if sam Ellnger were to be claimed off of waivers,

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: if the team said, yeah, we really like this guy

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: coming out, we like the stuff that he's put on tape.

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: We've always wanted a shot at him. Now you're talking

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: about Okay, is Jason Bean our emergency quarterback. I think

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: it was notable Bill that he got that second shot

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: at it on Saturday, that Keidan Slovas, who's kind of

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: your more traditional quarterback in a sense, he was the

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: third guy to come out and play. And then Bill

91
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: when Bean played, he was good. He threw the one pick,

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: maybe trying to do a little bit too much on

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: that play, but like you said, Bill leading those two

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: touchdown drives, and he's just he's got something to him.

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: It's like when you see it, you know it one

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: of those things. Bill, like Jason Bean, He's just he's

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: got something to him.

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: He's a good athlete. I think you saw that last

99
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: night him running. I thought that this one he scored

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: on nice play, you know. I think he had the

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: option of of course running it or throwing it. If

102
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: the receiver wasn't covered. Then he decided to run it

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and got it into the corner of the end zone

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. The other one, the play that I

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: like that I saw out there was the one he ran.

106
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: He didn't score, but he had a chance to either

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: go out of bounds or try to get that touchdown.

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: He loaded his shoulder there. He didn't get the touchdown,

109
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: but that showed me a lot about him trying to

110
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: get that score and you know, show that he has

111
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: the athletical building. He can run, he throws the ball,

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: So he showed you that he can he can't play,

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: and I think that helps the Coats and making decisions

114
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: of course going forward, because as you said, the key

115
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: point for the Coats is if they do let Sam

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: go and he's on waivers, you know what, I really

117
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: think more than likely someone's going to pick up Sam,

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: claim Sam off of waivers and then they would have him.

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Then you know, the Coats should feel pretty good about

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback they have. They was signed. They could put

121
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: on practice squad if it's Bean or if his Slovas.

122
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what happened. Interesting to

123
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: see what happens this week going into Cincinnati, the joint

124
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: practice and then the game, knowing that the Stars are

125
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: going to play, but see who comes out when Flacco

126
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: and Richardson is not playing and Ellen.

127
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: I think Bill just to kind of put a ball

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: on this, like when you think about what the Colts

129
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: did with their roster this offseason. There's a reason why

130
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: they even if you even if Bean's listed as a

131
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: QB slash wide receiver, running back or whatever, they still

132
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: brought in Slovas. So you know, a year ago it

133
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: was we're gonna have three quarterbacks on the roster. Now

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: you have five because Jason Bean just continues to be like, well,

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: we can't move him off quarterback because he's too good

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: at it. So those guys are there for a reason,

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: and that's sort of you're competing with Ellnger, but also

138
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: a little bit of insurance in case you do wind

139
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: up losing him.

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: Also, don't want to say one thing also with he's,

141
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: like I said, running back slash wide receiver slash quarterback, Well,

142
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: he gives you that flexibility if you need a player

143
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: at other than quarterback for an emergency situation, maybe you

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: could bring him up, let him play, get in there.

145
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, maybe if he's on specially needs to be

146
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: a special teams player for one for one game for

147
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: a couple of plays, maybe you could slade him in

148
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: there as well. So for him to have that flexibility

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: to be available to play some other positions, that helps

150
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: the Coats out tremendously.

151
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, a really promising practice squad player. I think to

152
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: kind of start there. All right, let's talk about the

153
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: running backs. I thought it was a good day for

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: that group.

155
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Bill.

156
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: You see Tyler Goodson he goes for six carries thirty

157
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: five yards of the touchdown, Evan Hall full four carries

158
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: twenty six yards and the touchdown. Then Xavier or Scott

159
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: he is eleven carries for fifty five yards and a touchdown.

160
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: All three of those guys ran the ball really really well.

161
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: But Goodson in Hall, I think that you saw some

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: really good things and we're talking about making it hard

163
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: on the coaches in the front office. Both of those

164
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: guys I thought put some really good things on tape

165
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: in this game. Evan Hall also catching the ball out

166
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: of the backfield.

167
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know La has played well. Tyler Goodson ran

168
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: extremely hard there, scoring that touchdown to get the Coats

169
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: going there. So you have guys that are playing and

170
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: it's good to see Evan Hall back there, who you know,

171
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: unfortunately had the injury last year, but he came back

172
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: this year and he's showing what he can do. He

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: can't catch the ball the backfield, he did have that

174
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: one catch last night. So it's good that these guys

175
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: are out there battling. You know, we know JT's going

176
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: to be the guy in the backfield, and you know,

177
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: we don't know who's going to be number two, but

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: more than likely who's been playing well as Tracey Sermon

179
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: before he got hurt his hamstring injury, but injuries, but

180
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: that third position there, those guys are battling for. And

181
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, I like this team because these guys know

182
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: they're in a competition to make the team or to

183
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: get a spot on the team or get playing time,

184
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: but they get along with each other so well. They

185
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: root for each other to do well, knowing that, hey,

186
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: if these guys are doing well, doing well, and I

187
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: need to and I want to spot in this team,

188
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go out there and play well.

189
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: These guys are doing that. And you know, as we

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: talk about, you know what iron shoppers iron. So these

191
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: guys are going out there playing hard, playing well and

192
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: doing the best that can. So I'm happy to see

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: Evan Hall, you know, come back from the injury from

194
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: last year. And it's good to see Xavier Scott get

195
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: out there and play and do something and Tyler Gisson

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: had a good game.

197
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, cool moment for Xavier Scott for seeing him get

198
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: in the end zone for the first time in his

199
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: professional career. I want to talk a little bit about

200
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: the offensive line too, especially the rookie offensive line, and

201
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: kind of a check in on Tanner BORDERLINI, Matt Gonzalez,

202
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: and then this kid, Dalton Tucker, number sixty eight. He's

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: having a really good training camp. Like it, don't he's

204
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: an undrafted free agent. He wasn't you know your your

205
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Day two early Day three guy, But he's having a

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: really good camp and it's funny. I was just going

207
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: back and watching Evan Hall the first down rush he

208
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: had in the first quarter, and on it Tucker. He's

209
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: playing right guard. Dalton Tucker, by the way, he played

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: every single snap in this game, all seventy two snaps

211
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: at right guard. He pulls from right to left and

212
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: he blocks down on a defensive end and he just

213
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: annihilates him on this play, and the Sea's kind of

214
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: part for Evan Hall to have a nice little run there.

215
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: I like some of the stuff I'm seeing out of

216
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: these rookie offensive linemen. I think Mackenzoalve has had a

217
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: chance to catch up with him in the locker room

218
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 2: after the game, and he told me he's kind of

219
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: feeling more comfortable, but he also told me the best

220
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: teacher is failure. And going against Quiddy pay diooh dangbo

221
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: layatu latu in practice all the time, that's teaching him

222
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: some stuff that you're now starting to see him grow

223
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: a little bit. Tanner Pordalini played both guard and center

224
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: in this game. I thought that's great experience for him

225
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: with his interior versatility. So I think you're seeing some

226
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: good things in terms of that young depth with those

227
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: three guys who just joined the Colts this year come through.

228
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: And that's big for this team, you know, and you know,

229
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: and I hope this doesn't happen, but more than likely, unfortunately,

230
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: you might have one of those starting offensive line and

231
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: missed a game of two and someone's gonna have to

232
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: step in. And and for those guys, as you mentioned,

233
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Borderlini playing both center and guard, and guys having flexibility,

234
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: they can go in at a moment's notice that if

235
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: someone goes down and they're on the roster, they can

236
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: go in and play a position that you know what,

237
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: maybe they haven't practiced a whole lot, but they've got

238
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: some time there so they understand how to play the

239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: position and hopefully don't let anyone else down on that

240
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: offensive line. And those guys have been playing well. And

241
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: I'll get those guys credit for going out there and

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: playing hard. Especially you said Tucker playing all the snaps.

243
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be tired today and he's going to be

244
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: sore a little bit today playing all the snaps. So

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: those guys have played well. I thought they did a

246
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: nice job. I know in one play because I thought

247
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Gonzalaz did an okay job, but don't know one to

248
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: play the one I think the past that Ellener throw

249
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, Ellnger stepped up and the guy got around

250
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: goazolves a little bit. But for the most part of

251
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: watching those guys play, I thought they did a nice

252
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: job giving some time and protection for the quarterbacks and

253
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: also opened some holes for those running backs. And that's

254
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: what they have to do. And those young guys are

255
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: learning on the job and that's good to see. And

256
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: now they getting a chance to go up against another

257
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: team this week in Cincinnati, and I think that'll be

258
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: a good test for the young guys when they go

259
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: out there and practice against the Bengals and also play

260
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: in the preseason game.

261
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gonsalves actually mentioned that to me. He was like, yeah,

262
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: I had to play today where I almost sacked I

263
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: almost tackled our quarterback, you know, and like that.

264
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: That's going to happen. That's going to happen. And he's

265
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: a rookie, he's going to happen, you know. But he's

266
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: a good athlete out there, and you know, playing outside

267
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: on the tackle, you know, out there tackle you're going

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: to be on an island sometimes, and you know sometimes

269
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,479
Speaker 1: that's very difficult.

270
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Well, not only is he a rookie, he's a guy

271
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: who you know, I think he only played in four

272
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: games last year. He's got hurt in his last year

273
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: at Pitt. But now to kind of transition this conversation,

274
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: the last thing I asked Gonzalez was are you sick

275
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: of facing Charlie Partridge coach.

276
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: And pass rushers?

277
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Because he got it his whole time at Pitt and

278
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: he shows up the Colts camp and it's like, well,

279
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: here we go again, here comes some more Charlie Partridge

280
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: guys at him. I thought the Colts pass rush pass rush.

281
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: Excuse me, had a really impactful game, not just on

282
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: the stat sheet, but you could just feel it like

283
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: this is for those guys who are kind of the

284
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: first guys off the bench. Dio Dangbo. You're seeing some

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: really good things out of Isaiah Land at defensive end.

286
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: We've talked so much about Ata Tommy, why at a bar?

287
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: I feel like every time I opened my mouth about

288
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: the Colts, I'm like, you gotta see what this guy did,

289
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: And boy, did you do some stuff against the Cardinals

290
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: on Saturday. You saw, I thought, a really impactful, consistent

291
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: pass rush when that second unit was in there, Bill,

292
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: what did you see out of that group kind of

293
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: collectively getting after the Cardinals quarterbacks on Saturday?

294
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: That's it, JJ, they got after the Colins Cardinals quarterback

295
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: last night because those guys did a good job. Tommy

296
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: did a nice job of getting some pressure on the quarterback.

297
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: He had a sack. You know, Isaiah Land did a

298
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: good job getting some pressure. He had a sack. So

299
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: you have some guys out there showing what they can do,

300
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: showing if they get the opportunity to play, they can

301
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: make plays. And that's what you want to see from

302
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: young guys. You want to see young guys go out

303
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: there and make plays, and you know, the light was

304
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: on them. Lights were on them tonight, I mean last night,

305
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: and they did a good job. So give the young

306
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: guys a lot of credit. They went out there and

307
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: play well. I saw. I saw the guys play physical,

308
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: and that's what you want to be on defense, you

309
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: want to play physical. I saw those guys play deep,

310
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: h physical, and I saw those guys get a great

311
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: effort out there, and that's what you want at the

312
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: at the defensive line spot, because it's gonna be a

313
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: lot of times you're gonna rush the quarterback and you're

314
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: not gonna get them. But if you continue to give

315
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: that effort, you're gonna you're gonna make a play. Sooner

316
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: or later, you're gonna either get the quarterback or you're

317
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna disrupt the play somehow in some way, uh for

318
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: the offense. So those guys continue to play hard, continue

319
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: to play well. I like what I see, and that

320
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: is good for the coast. It's gonna get some depth.

321
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: I know we've been talking about this weekend and week

322
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: out about the depth these guys rotating in and out,

323
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: rotating in I think out. I think that is huge

324
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: for the defensive line because having bucking their groveing their

325
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: quitty dio, those guys in there Taekwon, they can they

326
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: can go out and play and play well. But for

327
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: those guys to play sixty and seventy snaps, you know

328
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: they're eventually gonna lose something as you get closer to

329
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: the end of the game. But you want those guys

330
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: fresh at the end of the game. So you're gonna

331
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: have to put some other guys in there, and you

332
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: don't want to be a drop off. And the way

333
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: these guys have played last night, those young guys Tommy

334
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Lan and some of those guys, I don't

335
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have a drop off when they get

336
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: in there during the game. They're going to continue to

337
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: make plays and help the defense out. Yeah.

338
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: I mean this is why the Colts talk about they

339
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: want to have eight deep on their defensive line, and

340
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: it's yes, because you want to if you can rotate

341
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: those guys in and you can mean that. That means

342
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: that on a third and seven, with the game on

343
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: the line, DeForrest Buckner is feeling at his best.

344
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: It is fresh.

345
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: There you go and and right now the way that

346
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: you're seeing headed Tommy why at a bar a play? Yes,

347
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: you know, he told me he's still some things he

348
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: wants to work on in the run game, but he

349
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: feels like he's improving there. But against the pass, I mean,

350
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: every time I feel like I turned the tape on this,

351
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: he's doing something. The sack he had, he used his

352
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: power to just push the guard back into Clayton Tune

353
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: and create a sack that way. He had another one

354
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: where he kind of got chipped by the guard and

355
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: then the guard went to go help to the guard's left,

356
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: and then the tackle came over and Tommy was able

357
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: to re engage. He used his hands to get off

358
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: the tackle and then this this stands out Bill, So

359
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: Clayton Tunes maybe six yards away from him in the pocket,

360
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: and just like that pure acceleration that Tommy has to

361
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: just ba get into the backfield like that, you know,

362
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: you can sort of laugh and say like, oh haha,

363
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: where does like a four four nine ever show up

364
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: with a defensive tackle. Well, when he's coming right at

365
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: you in the pocket with the sort of toleration and

366
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: speed that he has for a guy two hundred and

367
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: eighty pounds. It showed up there, that's sure.

368
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: It definitely showed up and it will show up in

369
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: the games that speed that he has and the quarterbacks

370
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: will feel it, feel it if you know, he has

371
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get to the quarterback. But another thing

372
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: for him, he said, you know this often, he really

373
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: worked on his hands, you know, to use his hands,

374
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: and he showed in this game today. It showed that

375
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: he used his hands, that he worked at it, and

376
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: you know, that's big for the young guys. And we

377
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: have to go from year one to year two. That's

378
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: usually when you make your biggest jump from a young

379
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: guy as far as your rookie year to your second year.

380
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: And he's done that and he's taking it serious. During

381
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: the offseason where he worked at it, he got better

382
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: at it and it's showing right now not only in

383
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: games but in practice. So he's being consistent with it,

384
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: and that's what you want from a young guy. You

385
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: want the young guy to be consistent with what he's

386
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: doing out there in football field. And he can continues

387
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: to do that. Of course, it's going to help the team.

388
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: So Adabari played thirty four snaps. That was tied for

389
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: the most of any player on defense for the Colts.

390
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: Maybe a little surprising that Dio Dango played thirty snaps

391
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: just given kind of we know what his role is

392
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: within this team. But you know, he's a guy who

393
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: he got injured early on in camp. He's still kind

394
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: of working his way back. It doesn't really concern me

395
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: or surprise me that Dio Dangbo played that much, just

396
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: kind of getting his conditioning back up so he can

397
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: start the season striking. I thought he had a good

398
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: game too. He had a couple of pressures in there,

399
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: was impactful against the pass. Just one other guy real quick,

400
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: I forgot to put him on the rundown who I

401
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: just I thought had a really nice game with Shi

402
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: go Alubi at linebacker. Yes, just a guy who's he's

403
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: he's fast, he's physical, he he you know, he's a

404
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: guy who's kind of an energetic leader on special teams,

405
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: who's now getting a shot to be the third linebacker

406
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: on defense, maybe the backup mike on defense as well.

407
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: I had a chance to catch up with him in

408
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: the locker room after the game, and he kind of

409
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: told me that he's got a blueprint, like right here,

410
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: He's got Zaire Franklin and j Speed who followed the

411
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: same path that he is now trying to follow as

412
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: an undrafted free agent guy who's overlooked. But hey, harve

413
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: out a role on special teams and now start to

414
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: work your way up on defense. It's really cool to

415
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: see him kind of get that much run. He played

416
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: thirty four snaps as well, and I thought had a

417
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: really solid game.

418
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, solid game. Let the team and tackles with

419
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: nine tackles last night, so he had a real solid game.

420
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: And he's all over the field. The man runs down

421
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: to every play. As we talked about effort, he gives

422
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: that effort that you want to see out of guys,

423
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: and he has it. As you said, he has a

424
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: great blueprint. Zia. Franklin started on special teams. Now he's

425
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: on you know, doing a lot of things on special teams.

426
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: But he when he gets his opportunity to play on defense,

427
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: he makes the most of it. He's done a nice job.

428
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: He's been physical, and not just in games. As I

429
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: said earlier, he's been doing this in camp. I thought

430
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot of guys had have had a good camp

431
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: and they also have translated that into the games that

432
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: they when they get in and playing, and that's good

433
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: to see that, you know what, the game is not

434
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: too big for him, that they're understanding that the responsibilities

435
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: out there in the football field. They do it in

436
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: prior and they're carving it over to the game and

437
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: they're not letting other things that happen because I'm sure

438
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: things in this game and the other game happened that

439
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: they don't really see or the coaches don't let them

440
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: know about or don't tell them because things just happen.

441
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: Other things happen in the game anytime you're playing in

442
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: the game, and those guys that are able to make

443
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the adjustments out there in the football field and not

444
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: put the team in a bad situation or give up

445
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: a big play. So the guys are doing a nice

446
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: job and give a little bit credit. I'd like Alubi,

447
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I really like his effort. I really like

448
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: to see him flying around. He kind of he kind

449
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: of reminds me of a little bit of Zayia because he

450
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: plays with a lot of energy out there. So it's

451
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: good to see him out there flying around. And you know,

452
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: if he can if he can imitate Zaire and power

453
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: of his game after zaiyear, he's in a good shot,

454
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: in good shape. He's gonna he's gonna be a good

455
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: football player.

456
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: Real quick. I want to I want to kind of

457
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 2: touch on what you you just talked about there, the

458
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: difference between practice and the game, because a couple of

459
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: players told me some different things about that. Yesterday. Alubi

460
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: mentioned to me that you can make adjustments kind of

461
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 2: on the fly in a game that you're not necessarily

462
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: making in practice. He talked a lot about pad level,

463
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: just something as simple as that, where you can you

464
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: have to make those adjustments on the fly in a

465
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 2: game because I mean, you don't know how long you're

466
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: going to be out there on a given drive, and

467
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: you know, run fit stuff like that. Tanner BORDERLINI brought

468
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: up a point that I never really thought about, but

469
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: he said, in practice, you know, okay, we're with the two's,

470
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: we're out there for six plays. In a game, you

471
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: might get three, four or five plays on this drive,

472
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: or you might get ten or fifteen, so it really

473
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: pushes your conditioning. And then at a time of Wadebari

474
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: told me that it's just it's different when you make

475
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: a play in a game.

476
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: You know and for him.

477
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: Obviously he can bring the quarterback to the ground, he

478
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: can bring a running back to the ground in a game.

479
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: But it just boosts your confidence in a different way

480
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: when you go make a play in a game versus

481
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: in practice. Just for you, Bill, when when you played

482
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: and kind of know these the kind of the difference there,

483
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: What was maybe the biggest difference for you in making

484
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: a play in a practice versus a playing a game.

485
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Well, you know to me that all all the players count,

486
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: but you know in the game that's really gonna it's

487
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: really going to count in the game because you all

488
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: you also have to realize your teammates are depending on

489
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: you to make a play and do your responsibility out

490
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: there in the football field. So when it does happen,

491
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: it feels good. It's like anything else you practice. You practice,

492
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: you practice, You're putting all these hours and time time

493
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: of lifting weights, going over plays, going over defenses, and

494
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: you do it in practice a number of a number

495
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: of times, and then when it comes game time sometimes

496
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: things that happen you expect it, but then there are

497
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: things that happen that you don't expect, and then you

498
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: still go play. That's a good feeling knowing that you

499
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: can make that adjustment out there in the football field

500
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: and make a play and also not let your teammates down.

501
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: That's a good feeling. It gives you a boost of

502
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: energy knowing that, hey, guys, we can do this. Okay,

503
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: let's go out there and continue to playing like we

504
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: have been playing. Let's continue to play like the coaches

505
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: have coaches to play and do it out in the

506
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: football field. So it gives you a boost of energy

507
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: that you know you can make the plays and that

508
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: you know what you're helping the team be successful out

509
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: there in the football field.

510
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to a couple of starters who

511
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: did play in this game. Nick Cross he played twenty

512
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: three snaps and then Juju Brentz played twelve stamps. Juju

513
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: left the game he had a I think it was

514
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: a scratch on his nose. Nothing that sounded super significant,

515
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: but by the time he got it taken care of,

516
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: there's no reason for him to come back into the game.

517
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: Shane steike And said, Juju Brents played in this game

518
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 2: just because he didn't play last week when he had

519
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: a bit of a shoulder. So getting him just a

520
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: little bit of experience out there and then Nick Cross,

521
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: you're still trying to again you're figuring out that safety pairing.

522
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: But Bill, I said this on the pregame show, and

523
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: I meant it when I was on the radio with

524
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: you guys that Thank goodness, we have Rick vent Turrey

525
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: here to tell us how the safety's played. Right. So

526
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: guess what I did before this podcast? I texted Rick

527
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: Ventury how did Nick Cross play? And Rick got back

528
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 2: to me, and Rick's gonna go into much more depth

529
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: on this on Inside Football. Rick van Turrey this week,

530
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure he said Cross was outstanding. Again, he's on

531
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: a mission and he's on fire. The only thing is

532
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: the cults are playing a vanilla defense. But right this

533
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: is a really good step. I think for Nick Cross

534
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: that he puts some good things on tape. He played

535
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: a lot of strong safety today. We saw him play

536
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: that when when the Colts have had someone back out

537
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: there at free safety. But when Julian Blackman's been in there,

538
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: we've seen Julian it strong Nick Cross at free So again,

539
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: you're still trying to figure out where. But this felt

540
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: like Bill a step toward the cult safety pairing being

541
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: Julian Blackman and Nick Cross. We just don't quite know

542
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: where those guys are gonna line up yet exactly.

543
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: And you know, Nick played some strong and you know

544
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: he made a couple of nice open field tackles where

545
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: it was just him and the twotfl Yeah, yeah, yeah,

546
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: So he did a nice job out there. No, he

547
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: did his job. He's doing what he's supposed to do.

548
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's in a battle with some other guys

549
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: as far as for fighting for that starting position. As

550
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: far as either strong or free. I don't know where

551
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: he's going to play at, but wherever he's batting against,

552
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: he's doing his job as far as making plays and

553
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: showing the coach that he's the he wants to be

554
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: the guy out there starting. And give the man credit.

555
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: He's done a nice job. He did a nice job

556
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: this past game, made some good tackles as I mentioned,

557
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: and he's flying around because you know, you see Nick

558
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: Cross out there. He's not tall, but he's a thick,

559
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: thick individual. And then he made some nice tackles open

560
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: field tackles. So give the man credit. I'm happy with

561
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing for him from him out there in

562
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: the football field, especially in game situations. He's doing a

563
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: nice job in practice, and you know what, he's making

564
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: the battle tough for those guys. He's making the battle

565
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: tough for them to make a decision on who should

566
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: be out there. But and saying that still got some

567
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: more time to go. You know, you got a joint

568
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: practice with Cincinnati's I mentioned earlier, and of course the game,

569
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: and they'll have to make a decision. Hope gone before

570
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: the Houston game. And whatever decision they make, those guys

571
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: are gonna have to go out there and play big

572
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: because Houston is a good football team.

573
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: Juju Brents had some good coverage. I thought on I

574
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: think it was one of the first passes of the game.

575
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: He kind of forced an incompletion in there. Notably here though, Bill,

576
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: I think that competition at cornerback is kind of over.

577
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Jones did not play in this game. He's been

578
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: running with the Ones all through training camp. It looks

579
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: like he he has that solidified over Dallas Flowers. And

580
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, Dallas is still working his way back from

581
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: the torn achilles he had the last October against the Rams.

582
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: It's not you know, you can get back out on

583
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: the field, but that's not necessarily a you're feeling like

584
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: yourself exactly ten months out type of an injury and

585
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: recovery timelines. So I think right now the what we're

586
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: looking at is a secondary five guys of Juju, Brents,

587
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore the second, Jalen Jones, Julian Blackman, and will

588
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: and excuse me, a cross back there. So that's kind

589
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: of I think what you're starting five are looking like.

590
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: Now.

591
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: There's always the opportunity for something to happen on roster cutdowns,

592
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: a waiver claim, a trade, whatever it might be. But

593
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: I think right now that's what we're looking like with

594
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: the starting five going into the Obviously he's strung. Practice

595
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: with the Bengals is big, the preseason game is big.

596
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: But I think I'm kind of starting to write that

597
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: in pencil for weeks one.

598
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: Against Say that's that's in pencil, I would do saying,

599
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: write that in pencil going in right now for Uston

600
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: and it could change. And you know, I was happy

601
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: to see Juju out there. I wish you could have

602
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: got more time, you know, I think Juju needs some

603
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: time out there on a football field as far as

604
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: in game situations. He didn't play last week. You know,

605
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: he only played nine games last year, so you want

606
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: to see him out there more and hopefully, you know,

607
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: everything's okay with his nose. I think I heard him

608
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: say everything's fine that if it's a regular season, he

609
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: would have been back out there. So I want to

610
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: see him out there. I want to see him compete

611
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: and you know, to solidify that spot out there. And

612
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job during training camp.

613
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens this week. But those guys,

614
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think if you have those guys out there,

615
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: let's get him some playing time now, that group some

616
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: playing time so they can show what they can do.

617
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, for the backups, you know, you

618
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: got Darryl Baker, who I thought did a decent job

619
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: last night in the game.

620
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: He's a good preseason.

621
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Yes, he's done a good job in preseasons. So we'll

622
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: see what happens out there. You know, there's some decisions

623
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: the coaches have to make, but it's I think that

624
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: they've made Like you said, I think they've made the

625
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: decision as far as putting it in pencil, but anything

626
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: can happen, and still this time to go, So those

627
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: guys are still battling for some spots. They still have

628
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity.

629
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: One real quick injury update that we didn't get too

630
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: since you're just talking about Juju with the nose jail.

631
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Joannie Woods left today or last night's game with a

632
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: toe injury. So we'll keep an eye on that down

633
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati.

634
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: A right.

635
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: One last thing to get out of here. Bill matt

636
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: Game has two more field goals today. He has now

637
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: missed three this preseason. He missed one from I believe

638
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: it was forty four, one from fifty four, and then

639
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: last week you missed one from fifty plus. Any reason

640
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: to worry here for the Colts as they look forward

641
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: to the regular season.

642
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the physical part of it, as

643
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: far as you know him making kicks or anything physically

644
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: wrong with him. I'm maybe worried about more from the

645
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: mental standpoint. You know, to me, I look at it

646
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: as as a golfer. You know you you're not hitting

647
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the ball clean, you're not hitting the ball well, and

648
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 1: then you know it starts playing in your head when

649
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: you get over it. All you're hitting a certain you

650
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: know iron that you're not hitting that.

651
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: Why are you talking about our golf summer, Bill, Why

652
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: why are you throwing me under the bus like that?

653
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: See when we played together summer, I'm talking.

654
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: About I'm talking about myself. But no, you know, I

655
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: was thinking. It gets in your head and then you

656
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: start thinking about it, you know, I think maybe now

657
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I would say, the only good thing is most of

658
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: it kicks him and going left, so he has a

659
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: one way miss, so to speak. So hopefully he can

660
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: correct that. I think he's talking about he was coming

661
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: over the ball and kind of pulling it. Hopefully he

662
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: can correct that. And a guy with that experience, you know,

663
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: you think that he would go back to the drawing

664
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: board and he should be able to correct that moving forward.

665
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: So I'm not worried about physically, and it's worrying about

666
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: how he's handling it mentally, and hopefully he can go

667
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: back to his routine, get back into his routine, see

668
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: what he's doing wrong, and maybe change some things, and

669
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be fine going forward. I know Shane said

670
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: he's not worried about it. He feels okay about it

671
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: that going forward, that he has confidence in Matt, and

672
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: really that's all that matters. If Shane has confidence in him.

673
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: He should be okay as long as he corrects it,

674
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he'll be working on He's a vet.

675
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: He's been around long enough that he'll go out there

676
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: and he'll correct and hopefully he'll be fine come Houston.

677
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and one other thing to note here, the Colts

678
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: kicking battery was different for this game. Rigo Sanchez did

679
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: not He was not at the stadium. He was there

680
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 2: for the birth of a second child with his wife, Cynthia.

681
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: Congratulations Sanchez family. Congress Spencer Schrader, the rookie kicker, was

682
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: handling holding duties, so I you know, I don't know.

683
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's an excuse. I don't know

684
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: if that's an explanation. I'm using my hands and hitting

685
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: my microphone. Uh, it's just it's a it's a maybe

686
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: a factor that's notable that you would that it's not

687
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: gonna happen during the regular season. That'll be rego out

688
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: there as the holder. But again, yeah, I mean the

689
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: Colts are going to need Mac Gay to hit those

690
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: kiss in the regular season. But I think you hit

691
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: the nail on the head bill you trust him to

692
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: go make those corrections. Yes, Sorry, well, he's gonna do

693
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: it for us.

694
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: God, I was gonna say, yeah, he'll make the corrections.

695
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: You know, he'll spend time. I'm sure he's going to

696
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: spend time watching film and seeing what's going on, seeing

697
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: what maybe he's doing wrong that he can adjust, and

698
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be big for him. And also coach Mason

699
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: probably will talk with him, and you know, they'll look

700
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: at some things and see how they can handle things

701
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: differently and and move forward from there. But I think

702
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: he'll be fine U once the regular season hits.

703
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, that's gonna do it for us. Here
