53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor here on ninety three five one oh seven

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: five the Fan part of the Colts Daily Update. Taylor

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: has five consecutive games, by the way, with at least

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: seventy five rushing yards. That's the longest active streak in

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's got at least ninety scrimmage yards in

58
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: four straight games, and he also today talked about what

59
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: he's learned from the older veterans inside the locker room

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: about how to handle and treat a disappointing season. What

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: lessons can he learn despite the Colts underachieving to this

62
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: point of the season. Talking to a lot of the

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: older guys who you know, seeing a lot of bones,

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of different scenarios of one, how to

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: approach it and two what are some scenarios that can

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: come out of it? Like they've seen, you know, teams

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: fall apart, you know, when they go to adversity like this,

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: and then they've also seen teams that came back, you know,

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: and just fought. You could just see the fight in them,

70
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: whether it was the last six weeks or four whatever

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: it may be. So then it kind of pondered on me,

72
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: what do I want to contribute to this team for

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: these last week? You know, I want to go out,

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: I want to fight. I want to fight. And that's

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: the vibe in the locker room as well. It's like,

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: we're not gonna try to let this crumble. We want

77
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: to we want to fight until the very end. That's

78
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Meanwhile, the Vikings going into this game, they're

79
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: looking to clinch the NFC North Division with the win.

80
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: This weekend. It would be their first division title since

81
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: two seventeen and would punch their ticket to the playoffs

82
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand nineteen. By the way,

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the last time the Colts played the Vikings Lucas Oil

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Stadium during the COVID season of two and twenty, the

85
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Colts dominated that game. They won at twenty eight to eleven,

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins had a forgettable game for him. He

87
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: threw for only one hundred and thirteen yards through three

88
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: picks and it had a career worst fifteen point nine

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: passer rating in that game. Also of note, Moli Cox

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: had a career high one hundred and eleven receiving yards

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: on five catches in that week two outing and that

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: was a career high for him and he became the

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: twelfth Colts tight end that day to have a hundred

94
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: receiving yards in a game. All right, time for a

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: quick time out. When we come back, We're gonna be

96
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800

Speaker 1: his season so far, twenty two for twenty seven on

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: the year on field goals, and he's provided the Colts

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: a big boost from distance. He's made seven of ten

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: field goals over fifty this season. His seven makes over fifty,

113
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: by the way, tie a franchise record for a single season,

114
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: and he has the third most makes over fifty yards

115
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320

Speaker 1: bye week kind of a quasi week off. I know

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: you don't completely detach, but how did you use the

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120

Speaker 1: ready to come back again for the last four games.

129
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,760

131
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the way right, yep, absolutely, it's a fantastic river and uh,

132
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: one on the way to find out see what he

133
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,120

134
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: know how people do that, I gotta know, but but

135
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: good for you. That's that's really exciting. So in the spring, right,

136
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: that'll be announced in the spring in April. Fantastic all right.

137
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Also within this season, you are seven for ten over

138
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: fifty yards. Your seven makes in fact over fifty yards

139
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: this season ties a franchise record with Adam Vinteri, what's

140
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: your confidence level right now when you go out to

141
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: attempt a fifty yard fuel goal? What's that confidence level

142
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: in yourself to go out there and get the job

143
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: done in that regard? Yeah, I mean it's it's a

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: confidence in myself, But mainly it's a confidence, um, just

145
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: in our operation. We've got a great snap and hold

146
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: and Matt and Luke to a great job with that.

147
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: So honestly, going over fifty, it's to me, it's just

148
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: like any other kick or just go out there for

149
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: one goal, to make the kick in whatever way possible.

150
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: Not like you said, you came here in week two,

151
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: that synergy between snapper and holder, Matt Hawk the holder,

152
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: Luke Rhodes the snapper. How long does that take to

153
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: feel really comfortable and in sync with with those two

154
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: other guys that make that triangle if you will want

155
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: a pat or a field goal. Yeah, absolutely, it's it's

156
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: a big part of it for sure. I'd say overall

157
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: takes a few weeks. But um, they've done a fantastic

158
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: job here, so even a week one, UM felt confident

159
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: going into the into Jacksonville the first week, so they

160
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: did a great job making feel comfortable. I've worked with

161
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: Luke before. Is my first time meeting Matt so yeah,

162
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: felt comfortable, felt super comfortable being back in Indy two

163
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: and being in the same place I've kicked before. So

164
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Chase McLoughlin is with us Colts kicker. I know you've

165
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: probably answered this question before, but whenever I get a

166
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: chance to talk to kickers, always like to ask them

167
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: for you, what is the definition of a perfect hold?

168
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: It's a different for every guy. That's some guys like

169
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: a little more laying, a little more forward. Um, Honestly,

170
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: perfect holds one that ends up with the kick going in.

171
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: So you got to do your job right to make

172
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: it a good hold. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I mean, end

173
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: of the the day, it's it's it's it's a three man job. Yeah.

174
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Obviously the kickers get a lot of attention on that,

175
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: but we all know that it's it's not just one

176
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: guy that can make or break it. It's it's the

177
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: whole operation. Going back to those fifty yard fuel goals,

178
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: you mean, ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of

179
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: our audience will never know the adrenaline or the feeling

180
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: of hitting a big fifty yard fuel goal. What is

181
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: that like when you see the ball go through the

182
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: uprights when you hit it from fifty plus, what goes

183
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: through your mind? Yeah, I mean it's definitely a good feeling.

184
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you kind of just I personally, I

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: take my steps back, get my thanks to God, and

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: let it go. And the first thing to do is

187
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: I think, Matt high five of the guys and yeah,

188
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: just praise God again after that and just um. Yeah,

189
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: I'd say any any big kick, any kick in the

190
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for that matter, And yeah, depending on distance,

191
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: but especially fifty plus in the fourth quarter is always

192
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: a good feeling. And any kick going in is a

193
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: great feeling out of the team. Put some points on

194
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the board, for sure, no doubt about that. Well, what's

195
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: your approach on a fifty yard fuel goal where a

196
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: long fuel goal compared to a shorter fuel goal. Do

197
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: you have to hit the ball differently or aim at

198
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: the ball differently? Yeah, it's not. It's the same kind

199
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: of repetition, so the same routine for the kick. Nothing

200
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: really changes there. If you get really far back, a

201
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys, if they're right footed, it'll naturally tail

202
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: a little bit left, so you can aim if you're

203
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: farther away a little bit more right to light fade

204
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: left on you. But no, basically, just leave everything the same.

205
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: If you if you're over, if you're thinking you need

206
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: to change something, then then something's wrong. You just need

207
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: to keep it the same. And if you're hitting it

208
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: good from forty five, it'll be good from fifty five.

209
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: That's Chase McLoughlin with US Colts kicker. By the way,

210
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Chase is the first Colts kicker. I don't know if

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: you knew this or not, but you are the first

212
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Colts kicker to make a fifty yard fuel goal in

213
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: three straight games. I did not know, So, I mean

214
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: I know for you, you didn't want to see that

215
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: by week. You wanted to keep it going in terms

216
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: of the streak and keep that momentum working. But do

217
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: you have a range before every game? Like do you

218
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: have a feel before the game where you go to

219
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Bubba or Jeff Saturday and say this is where I

220
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: feel really good today in terms of distance? Yeah, so

221
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: every game it's obviously depends on the weather when the

222
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: plant if it's inside, it keeps it pretty simple for us.

223
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, we go through our our warm up with

224
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: looking Matt excuse me, and just see where we're feeling

225
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: good from. It's different every day, it's sure, and like

226
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I said, based on the weather and where we're kicking

227
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: at right, um, yeah, we go through each warm up

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: kicking both directions, feeling out when if there is any

229
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: and get a good feel for what the range is. Bubba,

230
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: talk about it, what we feel comfortable at, and we

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: give yeah the range for the day, and then if

232
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: we got to have it right, usually some a journalins pumping.

233
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: If we got to have it, so we'll add a

234
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: couple more yards. So there you go, There you go.

235
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: And I'm so fascinated by this because kickers are obviously

236
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: in a different um, I mean, they're they're one of

237
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: the most important positions on a team, but it's such

238
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: a unique position. There is kicking shape if you will,

239
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, how how do you keep yourself in great

240
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: conditioning kicking shape? If that makes sense? Yeah. A big

241
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: part of it is is kicking is not a natural motion,

242
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: so right, it's not a unilateral motion like running or

243
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: cutting or something like that. You're you're planting really hard

244
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: on one foot swinging with the other, so your body,

245
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: your hips especially get really out of rhythm so rusty

246
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: and Sam they've done a great job here to keep

247
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: my my hips and check it keeps making sure they're

248
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: at the right angles and everything's even. Um but yeah,

249
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a different shape than a wide receiver

250
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: for per se because they have to do a lot

251
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: of running a lot less running here. But um yeah,

252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: it's just a different type of maintenance. You make sure

253
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: your bodies and checking and feeling good. See to me,

254
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I just heard lots of trips to the chiropractor. Like,

255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: that's what I heard you say. Like for me, you know,

256
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: like if I try to do what you do one time,

257
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: my hips, my back would be all out of whack.

258
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I'd have to go see the chiropractor. Ractor was my

259
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: best friend of the season. There you go. I like

260
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: to hear that. And you've talked openly about this before.

261
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: You've had quite the NFL journey right since you've broken

262
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: into the league in twenty nineteen, You've been cut eight

263
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: times in three seasons. Prior to coming back to the Colts.

264
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: You had to stop in Indianapolis in twenty nineteen towards

265
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the end of that season. How hard has that been

266
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: on you and your family? For those that don't really

267
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: realize the harshness of the business of football. How tough

268
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: is it to move around and continue to chase this career. Yeah,

269
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a big part of I

270
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: can't think my wife enough for being there, being a

271
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: great support for me. And yeah, after we were year

272
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: in Indie, it just felt like home to us. My

273
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: wife's from Chicago, so a couple hours away and close

274
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: to her family, and like I said, we just loved,

275
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: loved the people here, love the area, just loved everything

276
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: about the city. So we decided to plant some roots here.

277
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I mean a big part of it

278
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: is just still believing in yourself, like I said, having

279
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: faith in God that He's got a plan for you,

280
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: and just believing in that and taking one one step

281
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: at a time. It certainly is a fun, crazy story because,

282
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: like you said, after Indianapolis in twenty nineteen, you had

283
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: stops in Minnesota, Jacksonville, the Jets, and Cleveland, and you

284
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: still made Indianapolis home. In fact, during training camp, the

285
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,439
