17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Friday is gonna be an off day for the Colts

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: as well. That'll be a walk through day in the

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: morning and then a travel day to head to Buffalo

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: as the team will play the Buffalo Bills on Saturday,

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: with the kickoff set for four o'clock. You can hear

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: it right here on the home of the Colts ninety

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: three five and one oh seven five. The fam practice

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday and Monday. They were smoking hot. The team

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: practiced in full pads on both days, got in a

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of good work, but it's been the defense that

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: has shined a last few opportunities. They forced the Colts

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: offense into some mistakes, some miscommunication, some drop passes, and

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: the defense has also held their own in red zone

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: periods and simulated four minute and two minute end of

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: half and end of game periods as well. Matt Ryan,

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: he's looked very sharp in camp, but he did throw

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: his first couple of interceptions of camp during eleven on

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: eleven portions on Monday. So it's becoming clear that the

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Colts defense has a chance to be a very very

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: good unit because you've got returning players like Kenny Moore

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: to Forrest Buckner, Julian Blackman is back to health, the

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: rise of Quidty Pay going into year number two, Shaquille

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Leonard when he gets back on the field. Bobby Okareka,

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: you coupled those guys with fresh faces that have played

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: at high levels elsewhere. Unique in Gockway, his fifty five

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: and a half career sacks Stefan Gilmore, one of the

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks of the last five years in the NFL,

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Facon, who knows the Gus Bradley defense better than

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: just about anybody. You've got all of that together, and

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: this Colts defense is looking very strong with really no

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: glaring weaknesses going into the season, and defensive coordinator Gus

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: Bradley talked about what he likes most about his new

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: job in Indianapolis guiding this group. Well, it's such a

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: great veteran group and their football IQ is really high.

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: So you know, when you tell them things and you

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: share some things with them, they pick up on it

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: really quick. And what you hope is that they understand

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: the defense so well that it turns into where it's

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: their personality. But they have to understand the defense real well,

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: and that takes time, but you feel it already, you

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: know where they're kind of putting their own turn on it,

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: their own bringing their own personality to it. And that's

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: what you kind of hope, that personality on defense being

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: shaped by Stefan Gilmo more. Like we said, he picked

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: off Matt Ryan in practice the other day during a

62
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: seven on seven drill and just continues to look smooth,

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: comfortable in control, and his resume it's hard to top.

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Two time first team All Pro, five Pro Bowls, a

65
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship with the Patriots, the twenty nineteen NFL

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, and Matt Ryan talked about

67
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: why the Colts offense is so lucky to face a

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: great cornerback. Likes to find Gilmour in practice every day.

69
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: He's good, you know, he really is. And he's got

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: excellent pattern recognition, you know, really good savvy, good ball skills.

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: He's talented, and he's one of those guys who who

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, can put a seated doubt, you know

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: in your mind of what he's gonna do. Is he

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna break on something, Is he gonna, you know, kind

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: of give you something. So with guys like that, you know,

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I've played against a lot of them in my career,

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: you have to be really accurate and you have to

78
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: make good decisions. But it's gonna force us to get better.

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is. And that's really good work

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: for our wide receivers. It's really good work for me,

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, going against you know, good players all

82
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: the time sharp ends, you know, your skills, and we're

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: certainly fortunate, you know, to have him here. That's Matt

84
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Ryan who's trying to get in as much time on

85
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the field as possible with skill player teammates before the

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: regular season. That includes preseason games, and obviously it's always

87
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: a debate this time of year on how much frontline

88
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: players need to play heading into the regular season. Do

89
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: they need to play to work on timing and scheme

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: mastery in a live game setting or is that just

91
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: risking injury during a meaningless exhibition game. So long as

92
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: preseason football exists, we're going to have these conversations. But

93
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan hasn't played in a preseason game since twenty nineteen,

94
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: and he's on a new team for the first time

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: in fifteen years, brand new teammates all around him, So

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: what does he want to accomplish in the preseason. Honestly,

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I've always felt like it was important, you know, and

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, different coaches in different years, UM have different

99
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: points of emphasis. But you know, I've always felt like

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work that gets done this time

101
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: of the year, some of it in games, some of

102
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: it in practices, and UM, you know, so I don't

103
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: really think my approach has changed all that much. You know,

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: throughout my career, do you want to play in the

105
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: pre season. I've always liked, you know, getting out there,

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: getting some reps and doing those kind of things. But

107
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: that's not my call. That's up to you know, Frank

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: and Chris and uh, They've got to determine, you know,

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: what's what's best for the team. Preseason. Yeah, I mean,

110
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: we the last two years have been odd. I mean,

111
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, the year before that we had no preseason

112
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: games too, So yeah, twenty twenty wiped out the entire preseason,

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: obviously due to the pandemic. Last year was the first

114
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: year the NFL moved from four preseason games to three

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: to make way for a seventeen game regular season schedule.

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: So we'll see how the playing time is dibbied up

117
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday. We'll also see what kind of

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: playing time is in store for the guys on defense,

119
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: like those new front line players and Unique and got Way.

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: He has looked incredible so far in training camp. His

121
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: work ethic, his intensity, the speed in practice, it's all undeniable.

122
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: He's one of the best defensive ends in football. Since

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: he broke into the league in twenty sixteen. In that time,

124
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: he's eighth in sacks, second in quarterback pressures. And the

125
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Colts know him well. They've played against him in Jacksonville,

126
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, in Las Vegas. And now he's a cult

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: thanks to an offseason trade and he's rubbing off on

128
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: the entire team. And second year player Quitty Pay he's

129
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: one of those guys benefiting from Ngoquay's presence and experience.

130
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Now on defense works really hard, you know, just how

131
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: he approaches the game. He hates losing and the one

132
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: on ones, you know, when they kind of get stuck

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: with whatever, he kind of takes up personal. But that's

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: good to see a guy that hates lose him because

135
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: that's the guy that you want on his team. If

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: you have a guy that's just okay, you know, if

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: he loses a rap, he's just like whatever. That's not

138
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: the guy you really want to go into war with

139
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: because when it really gets tough, you know, you can't

140
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: depend on guys like that. But how if Yahn on

141
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: our side is great, that's Quitti Pay on unique and

142
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Gackway on the field. Maybe one of the best stories

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: of camp so far is happening off the field within Goackway.

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: He's becoming a fan favorite in short order because of

145
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: his infectious attitude and community work. He's already been everywhere

146
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: in the Indianapolis community so far, and last week he

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: took to Twitter to implore local teachers to post links

148
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: to their Amazon wish lists of school supplies so that

149
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: he could help donate, and as of yesterday, he had

150
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: fulfilled thirty one wish lists and plans to continue until

151
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: he reaches the number ninety one that's his jersey number.

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Over eight hundred and fifty teachers initially replied to the

153
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: tweet and Ingackway has experience being in a classroom that

154
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: needed supplies and that made his want to help out

155
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: pretty clear. It felt awesome, you know, being a guy

156
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: that had to like rotate two school uniform pants and

157
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: like one T shirt every day. It just makes a

158
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: huge impact in my life to be able to give

159
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: back to kids, as you know, going through similar backgrounds,

160
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: and like I just told somebody earlier, like teachers are

161
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: one of the biggest superheroes we have in this country,

162
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: and they get chip into their own pocket to make

163
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: sure that guys coming from our similar background, has food,

164
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: has extra things to learn, gain lotted. So it's just

165
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm just super excited about it. Again, that's unique in Gackway.

166
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: That's his latest move to connect with the Central Indiana community,

167
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: and he says he feels at home for a player

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: who has changed teams four different times the last couple

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: of years. All Right, to close out, I want to

170
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: talk about one of the bright spots of camp on offense.

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: That's Drew Ogletree, the tight end drafted in the sixth

172
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: round out of Youngstown State. What a cool story. He

173
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: has stayed in college six years at two small schools,

174
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: played three years at NCUBA Division two Finley before sitting

175
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: out a trainsfer year and twenty nineteen, finished out his

176
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: career two years at Youngstown State, and only his final

177
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: season did he spend time at tied in with a

178
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: majority of his career playing the wide receivers spot, and

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that he's only been a tight end

180
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: for a short time. He's grasping the offense. He's incredibly athletic,

181
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: he's huge, He's six foot seven, two sixty. He's mixing

182
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: in with the first team, the second team on offense

183
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: in practice, and Frank Reich was asked if Ogletree is

184
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: having as good of a camp as it appears. I

185
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: think he is. I mean, I think Drew has come

186
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: in and what was evident right away. It seems just

187
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: seemed like he knew what he was doing right away

188
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: right There was never any ramp up time. It just

189
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: seemed like he fit in right from the start. So

190
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: now the challenge is, you know, to keep getting better

191
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: from here. You know, you come in, you handle it

192
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the right way, you look like you belong. But now

193
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: you got to keep getting better because and play winning football,

194
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: not just play good football. And I think Drew is

195
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: showing that, and I'm really happy he's here. Indeed, he's

196
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: been a big pleasant surprise. And again he's a big

197
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: guy in a big tight end room with Jilani Woods, Moalley, Cox,

198
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Kyl and Granson. But here's Ogletree on loving to play

199
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: to his strengths as a player now at tight end.

200
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, for sure, because being swishing from receiver to

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: tight end. You know, I was always a big receiver.

202
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: I'll waited about two hundred twenty five two thirty, so

203
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: I was always bigger than the DBS and now our

204
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: way two hundred and sixty to plus. You know, it's

205
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: a real, real advantage for me and dis manage for

206
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: them because I got the size. I'll say, I got

207
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: some speed and I can jump, so I mean putting

208
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: them all together, you got a pretty good player. That's

209
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: rookie tight end Drew Ogletree, and we'll see him back

210
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: on the practice field tomorrow when the Colts return to work.
