1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Welcome into Instant Reaction Indianapolis Colts Podcast. I'm Casey Value, 2 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: joined as always by Colts Ring of Honor wide receiver 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: Bill Brooks, and we're reacting to the Colts first lost 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: of the season as they fall to the Rams on 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: the road twenty seven. 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: Bill, it's a really tough one to swallow. 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 3: It is. 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 4: It is a tough one to swallow because it's a 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 4: game where you went out there knowing that you have 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 4: been playing well for the previous three weeks and you've 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 4: come out with victories on the three weeks, and you offensively, 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 4: you've moved the ball down the field, you haven't turned 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 4: the ball over, so you've played good football in the 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 4: style of football that you want to play. And going 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 4: into this game, you know you start off pretty well, 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 4: but it seemed like every time you want to separate 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 4: yourself from them, there was a mistake, there was a penalty, 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 4: and these are self inflicted wounds that they happen to 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 4: make on themselves, and unfortunately it hurt him. And you know, 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 4: you cannot win games like this where you're playing a 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 4: good opponent and a quarterback that is you know, he 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 4: probably will be in the Hall of fame once he 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 4: retires and goes to the time limit where he has 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 4: to sit out as far as waiting to get that call. 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 4: But he's a good quarterback. He knows how to play 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: the game, and he can pick you apart if you 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 4: get pick you apart if you give him the opportunity, 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 4: and the coach gave him the opportunity by making mistakes 29 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 4: out there. When you make mistakes, it makes it very 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 4: difficult to win football games in the National Football League, 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: it's difficult to win him without making mistakes. But when 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 4: you give a guy like Matthew Stafford that opportunity and 33 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: then la rams that opportunity to capitalize on your mistakes, 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 4: it makes it very difficult to come back from and 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 4: win those games because they do capitalize on your mistakes. 36 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: So it's tough game to swallow, you know what. But 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: the thing I would take from this game is the 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: issues that they had. 39 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: There aren't talent issues. 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 4: Meaning that it wasn't talent that caused you to lose 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 4: this game. It was issues by not doing the things 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: you're supposed to do, by making mistakes, mistakes that are fixable, 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 4: and hopefully you can't fix the mistakes moving forward, especially 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 4: this upcoming week as you prepare for your next game. 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: No, absolutely. 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the whole adage of more games 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: are lost in the NFL than one. I feel like 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: that really applies to what the Colts did in Los Angeles. 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: And you know, throughout this show we're going to talk 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: about you know, there were areas to clean up, but 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: I think there were also a lot of positive positives. 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: You just talked about it there that it wasn't a 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: talent thing that got you there, but you did mention 54 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: the self inflicted wounds I think that the Colts had today. 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: I kind of summarize them up in you know, in 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: four big bullet points, the Colts committed eleven penalties, they 57 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: lost a turnover margin. We do have to talk about 58 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: the eighty Mitchell drop of the football right before the 59 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: end zone, but like the one that made everything come 60 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: to a head, the eighty eight yard touchdown by two 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: to two out Well, You've got ten guys on the 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: field and Makai Blackman, who is on at well trips, 63 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: so it's like all of that stuff kind of leads 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: to it. But starting with the top of these areas 65 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: to kind of improve on as you move forward, into 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: the week as you prepare for the Raiders coming up 67 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: next weekend the penalties. This is now the second time 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: the Colts have committed double digit penalties in a game. 69 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: The penalties, you just cannot have them, and especially when 70 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the penalties come in such pivotal areas. I mean, we 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: had the one that was you know, would have been 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: a fifty plus yard touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor that 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: was negated because of a penalty that ultimately, I don't 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: think really made a big impact on the run. I 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: think Taylor was going to make that run regardless of 76 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: the penalty. But you talk about that one and all 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: the other ones, I mean, eleven penalties, you just can't 78 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: have that if you want to win the football game. 79 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: Exactly, you can't have those penalties if you want to 80 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 4: try to win football games in the National Football League. 81 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: And having that penalty with ad Mitchell Holden and Johnathan 82 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: Taylor making that run, no, I don't think if ad 83 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: Mitchell doesn't hold him, I don't think that guy is 84 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: going to make the block. You know, he's not preventing, 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: He's not going to get there to get Jonathan Taylor 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: down and make the tackle. So I think it was 87 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: a play that Ad, you know, wish you could take back. 88 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 4: He grabbed him and he did hold the young man there. 89 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 4: But it's one of the things you have to make 90 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: sure that you don't put yourself in a position to 91 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: make those penalties and make those mistakes. And unfortunately the 92 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 4: coach put themselves in a situation where they did make 93 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: a mistake as far as Ad making that penalty. But 94 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: you can't have all these penalties, especially something like the 95 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: penalties came when the Coats are trying to get in 96 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: the red zone or or in the red zone, and 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 4: when you're in the red zone, you can't make those 98 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: mistakes because it's vital, vitally important for you to go 99 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: and try to make touchdowns and not field goals. And 100 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: I know the one that with Tyler Warren got to 101 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: push off and they had to move it back out 102 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: of the red zone and then unfortunately they couldn't get 103 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: in the zone in the end zone, but they did 104 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 4: get a field goal out of it, but it took 105 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: away or points from the Indianapolis coach. So you can't 106 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 4: have those penalties, especially in a situation where you're going 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 4: in to score and hopefully score a touchdown and then 108 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: you just shoot yourself in the foot by pushing yourself 109 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: back and getting out of the range in REGARDSS to 110 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: try to go forward on fourth down or whatever and 111 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: to get in the end zone, and the coachs couldn't 112 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 4: do that and they. 113 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: Had to set up for a field goal. 114 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 4: So those are type of plays that you know what, 115 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: you can fix those plays because those are things that 116 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: you just have to work on and those basic fundamental. 117 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 3: Things that you have to get better at. 118 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 4: And it means that, hey, not pushing off or not 119 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 4: holding or grabbing someone or not jumping off sides or 120 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 4: things like that. If you can fix those mistakes and 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: just stick to the fundamentals when you get down those areas, 122 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: you can hopefully be successful and score touchdowns and not 123 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: just field goals. But that's something the team's going to 124 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 4: have to work on when it get back, and you 125 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 4: want to work on those things now. 126 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: Don't let them just say, hey, we'll get to it 127 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: and then we'll get to it later. 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: We're on it now, so you know what, when it 129 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: comes next week, you won't make those mistakes hopefully and 130 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 4: you can hopefully have a successful game. 131 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I mean you did talk about red zone. 132 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: The Colts were two for three in the red zone, 133 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: so that was one positive that you know, they had 134 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: struggled inside the red zone converting to touchdowns. I thought 135 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: they did a better job of that today, but you 136 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: did mention that one play by Tyler Warren that did 137 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: that was the lone red zone trip that did not 138 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: result in a touchdown. 139 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: We talked about the turnover margin. 140 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: Bill and through three weeks it has been a major 141 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: plus and that was flipped today. Daniel Jones through two interceptions, 142 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: the first one on that opening drive. The second one 143 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: you know you're down. You're trying to make a play understandable. 144 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't ever want to say, oh, it's 145 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: no big deal, it's just an interception, but you know, 146 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: in the circumstance of where that play happened, it's understandable. Ultimately, 147 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: you lose with three turnovers. The defense caused just one, 148 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: so you lose that minus two. I know the game 149 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: of football is a lot more sophisticated than this, but 150 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: typically you look at the box score, the team that 151 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: wins the turnover margin, typically they win the game. And 152 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: that ran true with the Rams. 153 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it ran true today. Definitely you lose the turnover battle, 154 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: you're gonna more likely lose the game. And that first 155 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 4: interception that Daniel Jones threw from from my viewpoint, it 156 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: looked like he was just trying to guide the ball 157 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 4: there and try to make a perfect pass instead of 158 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: letting the receive a run under it and just run 159 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 4: to it and go get it and hopefully get his 160 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: feeding bounds and then make a big play trump the 161 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: field or get both feet in bounds and get out 162 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 4: of bounds. But I'm sure he would love to have 163 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: that pass back. Look like you're just just underthrown a 164 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: little bit, and the defensive back made a nice play 165 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: on that. 166 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: So those are things that you. 167 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 4: You you want to make sure you don't do, especially 168 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: early in the game. And it gave some momentum to 169 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: the to the Rams. But you know, give the coach 170 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: defense credit. They played well, you know, kind of held 171 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: them at bay for the most part. But uh yeah, 172 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 4: that was a big play for the Rams. And then 173 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: also the other turnover the one end of the game, 174 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: I can understand that you're trying to make a play, 175 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: trying to get down there score some points so you 176 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: can hopefully tie the game up and send the game 177 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: into overtime, but that didn't happen. And then the turnover 178 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: by ad Mitchell. I know we're going to talk about that, 179 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: but that was another turnover that the coach have when 180 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: going into the end zone and unfortunately was touched back 181 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: and ball came back out to the twenty for the Rams. 182 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that play, I mean, that's what we're gonna 183 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: get to right now. I mean, you think about it, 184 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: it's the biggest play of ad Mitchell's career. Prior to 185 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: that last step before the end zone, seventy five yard catch, 186 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: it was on his way to being his first career touchdown. Instead, 187 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, he fumbles the ball out of the back 188 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: of the end zone, and ultimately you just feel for 189 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a guy like ADENI Mitchell because you know, he knew 190 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: the magnitude of of the play. He knows what it 191 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: feels like now. And I'm sure you know he is 192 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: probably like majority of athletes out there, Bill, you were 193 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: probably the same way. You're much harder on yourself than 194 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: anybody else's, so I'm sure he is just beating himself 195 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: up because of just what that play meant. So you 196 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: almost just you feel for a guy like ad and 197 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: I Mitchell and just a crushing play that he had 198 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: to deal with in that Rams came. 199 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that that has to hurt. You know. 200 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: He made a nice play on the ball, going up 201 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: and getting the ball. The guy was right there, the defender, 202 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 4: but he made a nice play go up and get 203 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: the ball and then took off down the field and 204 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 4: he was gone. I mean, he was in the end 205 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: zone and you know, just all he had to do 206 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 4: was run into the end zone. But he's trying to 207 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: switch the ball into another hand. Look like he was 208 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 4: trying to reach for the goal line with one hand. 209 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 4: The ball slipped out, went out of the back of 210 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 4: the end zone, unfortunately, and I know that he feels. 211 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 3: Bad about it, awful about it. 212 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: And the young man is putting in a lot of 213 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 4: work from training camp through now just working on the 214 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: different things, putting extra time in in order to hopefully 215 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: improve and get better. So he's doing all the right 216 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: things for a young guy, and it's unfortunate this has 217 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 4: happened to him. But the good thing is there are 218 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: a lot of veterans there to talk to him and hopefully, 219 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 4: you know, let him know, hey, look we still believe 220 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: in you. We still gonna need you in this game 221 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: and the rest of the season, So come on, stay 222 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: with us, don't don't don't let it defeat you. And 223 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 4: hopefully then he takes those words and hopefully he bleeds 224 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 4: in those words and just you know, be able to 225 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 4: come back from that. But as a player, there's nothing 226 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: worse than feeling like, you know what, you let your 227 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: teammates down. So I know he feels bad about it. 228 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 4: I know he feels awful, and he's probably a lot 229 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: harder on himself than anyone else's and that's something he's 230 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: he's just gonna have to bounce back from. And that's 231 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: part of being a professional athlete. Uh, in a professional sport, 232 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 4: there are going to be things that happen that don't 233 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: go your way. They're going to be pretty devastating, but 234 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: you just have to bounce back from them. And you know, 235 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: he the good thing is he has the support of 236 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 4: his teammates and the coaches and they're going to be 237 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 4: there for him and you know, just help him out 238 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 4: to make sure that you know what, he takes the 239 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: proper steps moving forward, that he'll be ready to play 240 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: and he'll be ready to go out there to make 241 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: positive plays for the team. 242 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: I think he'll be fine. 243 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: You know what, He's a young man that has and 244 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: is a building, and he should because he has a 245 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 4: lot of a building, and you can play in the 246 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: National Football League. So I think he'll be fine. Just 247 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 4: long as he surmounds himself with people that are positive 248 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: and stays focus on the task at hand, I think 249 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 4: he'll be fine. 250 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: No. 251 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 252 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: Now, we talked about briefly about the massive touchdown there 253 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: at the end, you know, eighty eight yards. It's you know, 254 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: Mackay Blackman falls down ten guys on the field. But 255 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: one of the things I really want to highlight is 256 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: outside of the big play there by two to two 257 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: at well, one of the areas we kind of thought 258 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: about heading into the game was you had to have 259 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: a plan for Poka Nakua headed to the game leading 260 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: the NFL in receptions and receiving yards, and he just 261 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: added to his total today. He had fifteen total targets, 262 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: thirteen catches, one hundred and seventy yards, and a touchdown. 263 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: It just didn't seem like the Colts had any answer 264 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: at all for what Pooka Nakua did, and he single 265 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: handedly was probably the reason the offense was able to 266 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: move the football outside of him, and what really the 267 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: Colts did a really good job defensively. 268 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean outside of that that well touchdown and 269 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 4: outside of Pooka Nku I mean that was pretty much 270 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 4: their their whole offense for the most part. 271 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 3: And uh, Pooka and Nicoua is he's a very good receiver. 272 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: Let's not take anything away from him and what he 273 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: does and his athletic ability and his understanding of the game. 274 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: But to me, what sets them apart in regards to 275 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: Pooka and what he does out there in the football field, 276 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: it's a rapport that he has with Matthew Stafford. Those 277 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: guys have a nice rapport. They they know where that 278 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: Matthew knows where he wants. 279 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: To throw the ball. Pooka knows where he needs to 280 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: be for Matthew to throw the ball. 281 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: And the timing is just it's it's unbelievable that he 282 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 4: can get the ball out quick and then Puka knows 283 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 4: right where to be for the ball and catches it. 284 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 4: And a lot of times you see Matthew throwing the 285 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 4: ball before h Poka Nkua turns around and and and 286 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 4: it is open and as soon as he turns around 287 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: the balls right there, So that makes it very difficult 288 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: for the defender to defend Pookah. So give those two 289 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 4: credit for having the chemistry out there that they can 290 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 4: make plays like that. 291 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: And Puka is just a fine receiver. 292 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: I'm not going to take anything away from him and 293 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: what he does out there in a football field. 294 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: But you know, you hope. 295 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 4: That guys like that you can not stop, but you 296 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: want to slow down so they can't make those big plays. 297 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: And he made a lot of big plays, especially on 298 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 4: third and second down to get first down. Then of 299 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: course that touchdown he made near the end of the 300 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: game to help the Rams win the football game. 301 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: Now we're going to move on from all the bad 302 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: in this game. You know, we kept that from the 303 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: beginning and now. 304 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: It's all positive. 305 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: Okay, you do get a loss, but I think there 306 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: was some really good things that came out of it. 307 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: I think offensively, they proved they could effectively move the 308 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: ball against a really good defense. They had three hundred 309 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: and thirty three total yards of offense, which is about 310 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: seventy more yards than the Rams have average allowing per game. 311 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: So the Colts offense proved against a really good Rams team. 312 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: They were top five coming into the game. They were 313 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 1: able to move the ball. I thought Daniel Jones, he 314 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: looked pretty well. We talked about the two interceptions he 315 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: threw for two sixty two. He had the touchdown up 316 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: and down game for the most part. I mean, he 317 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: completed still seventy two percent of his passes, and I 318 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: would I would think you would agree with me on this. 319 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I think he did more than enough to get a 320 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: victory today the way he played. 321 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I think he did some nice 322 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: things out there. Of course you don't want the two interceptions, 323 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: but you know, you look at someone that completed seventy 324 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 4: two percent of his passes, that would be more than acceptable. 325 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 4: If you say, hey, look, you know what, we want 326 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: to quarterback a complete seventy percent of his passes. Seventy 327 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 4: two percent of his passes. I think everyone would take that. 328 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: And he did some nice things, nice things for kind 329 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: of you know, he rush Cam and got him a 330 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 4: couple of times, but you know what, and he did 331 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 4: some nice things to get away from the rush, from 332 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: the pressure from the Los Angeles Rams front four. 333 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: So he did a nice job that way. But you know, 334 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: he did what he needed to do. 335 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 4: I think I thought he did some nice things out there, 336 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 4: take away the two interceptions. I think he played a 337 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 4: nice game out there, did some real good things. No 338 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 4: one wants to throw in interceptions. That happened, unfortunately, but 339 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 4: you know what, hopefully you know the one thing he 340 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: did fumble the ball, get stripped of the ball, but 341 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: coach got it back, so that was a good thing. 342 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 4: But I think he did a nice job out there 343 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: as far as outside that, as far as the strip 344 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 4: ball and the interceptions, he did a nice job just 345 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: commanding the offense and moving the team up and down 346 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: the field. And that's what you want to see. You 347 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: want to see someone that's gonna move the team up 348 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: and down the field. So if you take away those 349 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: self inflicted wounds and he still moved the ball up 350 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 4: and down the field, never know how this game turns out, 351 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 4: because the game could be totally different if you don't 352 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 4: have those self inflicted wounds where you're making it difficult 353 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: to score points. You score a touchdown, then it's brought back, 354 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: You have a penalty in the red zone, and you 355 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: get three points out of it. 356 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: Turn those things around. It's a different ball game. 357 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 358 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: Now, Jonathan Taylor, I don't think he had as big 359 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: of an m packed early as we've typically seen. I 360 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: think they were a little bit more pass heavy than 361 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, utilizing on the ground. But he finishes still 362 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: at four and a half yards per Carrie had seventy 363 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: rushing yards, added a handful of catch, I think five 364 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: catches for twenty yards. So, you know, typically you are 365 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: used to seeing Jonathan Taylor with a one hundred at 366 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: least plus scrimmage yards. 367 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: That was essentially the case today. I'm gonna round up. 368 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: I know it's ninety six, you know, scrimmage yards, but 369 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna round up and give him another day of 370 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred yards scrimmage. That's exactly what you're 371 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: hoping to get out of a guy. 372 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: Like Jonathan Taylor. 373 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: And we talked about the big run that was called 374 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: back that would have impacted all of that as well. 375 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: I thought Jonathan Taylor when he was used today, I 376 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: felt like he was used pretty well. 377 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he was used today, I thought he did 378 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: a nice job. 379 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: Man. 380 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 4: Think I think that's what we expect of Jonathan Taylor 381 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: when he's used that. You know, he's gonna get positive yards. 382 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 4: You know it's not it might not happen every single play, 383 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 4: but there's gonna be players where he's gonna get positive 384 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: yards and put the team in good positions to continue 385 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 4: to move down the field and score some points. And 386 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 4: then you saw the play that he did have unfortunately 387 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 4: got called back. But Jonathan Taylor, to me, weekend and 388 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 4: week out, is going to give you what you're looking 389 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 4: for from the running back position. 390 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 3: A guy that can run the ball. 391 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 4: Hard inside and outside, and the guy that also can 392 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: catch the ball the backfield. Now, at especially this year, 393 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: him catching the ball of the backfield being a check 394 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 4: down for the quarterback. So if the rest of the 395 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: receivers are covered, check the ball down to JT. If 396 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: JT's in the open field, he's going to make a 397 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 4: big play. He's going to make some people miss. So 398 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: I think we kind of expect that and the at 399 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 4: times we probably take it for granted that Jonathan Taylor's 400 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 4: going to go out there and when he touches the ball, 401 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 4: something special is going to happen, and usually it does. 402 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 4: So hopefully we'll keep that feeling moving forward and hopefully 403 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 4: we'll see Jonathan Taylor continue to make those special plays 404 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 4: to put the coach in good position to score points 405 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 4: and win football games. 406 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, but I do think we had highlight a 407 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 1: couple more players on offense before we move over to 408 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: what I think the Colts did pretty good defensively today. 409 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: But I want to start with Tyler Warren got his 410 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: first career touchdown. It came in the rushing variety. Yeah, 411 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: he also had five catches for seventy yards. We know 412 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: what Tyler Warren can do. But I think you saw there, 413 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, in the you know you're in the lower 414 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: red zone. 415 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: It's a fourth down play. 416 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's the best player, but a lot 417 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: of times it's you know, you think players not plays. 418 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: And ultimately the Colts, the offensive staff get that first 419 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: career touchdo was like, Hey, let's give the ball to 420 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: one of our best players and make him make a play. 421 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: He's able to get into the end zone and then 422 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: you see what he can do from a receiving standpoint. 423 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: You know, five more catches for seventy yards today, Tyler Warren. 424 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: Yet another big performance out of him. Ultimately, we're saying 425 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: his name every single week. 426 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's being pretty steady for the first 427 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 4: four weeks of his career in the National Football League, 428 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 4: he's doing a nice job. 429 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 3: I mean just catching the. 430 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 4: Ball when the ball is thrown to him and also 431 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 4: running the ball when he has the opportunity to run 432 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 4: the ball. Wherever they use him at he's being effect 433 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: and that's what you want to do. You want to 434 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 4: be able to use people in different ways. And he's 435 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 4: so versatile for the coach that he can be used 436 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 4: in different ways. He can be used in the backfield, 437 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 4: it can be used and tight as a tight end. 438 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 4: It can be used spread out wide. He can be 439 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 4: used running down the field, also running the ball. So 440 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: the things I like about Tyler Warren is when he 441 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 4: runs a route or any route that especially that little 442 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 4: post I mean corner route or sale route, whatever you 443 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 4: want to call it, he understands the route because a 444 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 4: lot of times you'll see him sit down in that 445 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 4: hole or throw down in that hole and the quarterback 446 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 4: can get to him and he knows where. He knows 447 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 4: where the hole's at, and he has. 448 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 3: A good feel for it. 449 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 4: So that's a young man that understands football, understands the offense, 450 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 4: understands his responsibilities out there in the football field, and 451 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 4: it's good to see and I'd like to see when 452 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 4: he does have the ball running. As I've said this before, 453 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 4: it's like to his physicality and how he runs the football, 454 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 4: how he's going to run over people, and the things 455 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 4: that he does out there. So I think what we 456 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: have seen thus far is just only scratching the surface 457 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 4: of what he can be in the National Football League. 458 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 4: I think as he grows and he's as he matures 459 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 4: and understands the National Football League a little bit better, 460 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 4: you'll see a young man that will get better and 461 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 4: he'll be one of those top tight ends in the 462 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 4: National Football League. 463 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: I agree with you there now real quick. 464 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: I want to just kind of tip the cap to 465 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior. 466 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 2: He talked about it last year. 467 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: How for him, when it comes to getting to that 468 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: next tier of receiver play, it's getting into the Enzo 469 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: and he was able to do that his third touchdown 470 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: of the season he was able to get today. He 471 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: had five catches for forty one yards. So another really 472 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: nice performance out of Michael Pittman Junior in this Colts 473 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: inside this Colts offense. Now flipping over the defensive side 474 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: of the ball, Bill I felt like the Colts are 475 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: able to create pretty. 476 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: Good amount of pressure. 477 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's a guy who gets the ball out pretty quick. 478 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 1: But if you look at the final box score, the 479 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: Colts had three sacks, nine quarterback hits. I thought La 480 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: Tu Latu made his pressure, his presence felt. But then 481 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: also we can't not mentioned out of Tom loat at 482 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: a bar A. 483 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: I thought he had maybe his best game as a pro. 484 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: He finished with half a sack, a couple quarterback hits, 485 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: but he also had the major fumble recovery from Mike Hilton, 486 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: who just came out of nowhere. Yes, I mean it 487 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: was like, I mean he was almost in the backfield 488 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: before the ball was snapped. It seemed as he was 489 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: able to blitz get the ball before the you know, 490 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: the handoff between Stafford and Kyle Williams was able to 491 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: go off out of tom wa out of Barra, Johnny 492 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: on the spot be able to get it. I thought 493 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: Tommy had a really good game. And also, you know, 494 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: tip of the cap to Mike Hilton. Been here for 495 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't know six days. You know, he doesn't even 496 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: know where all the bathrooms and everything is, but he's 497 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: able to step in and have a pretty nice performance 498 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: there on, you know, as one of those guys who 499 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: is arguably the best blitzing corner in the game. 500 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: He made his presence felt. But Tommy big game. 501 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 3: For him, Yeah, definitely. 502 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 4: First, I'm gonna say with Hilton there, he did make 503 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 4: his presence felt out there. As soon as the ball 504 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 4: Simmaka gout from Stafford and Karen Williams touched the ball 505 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 4: the hand off the exchange, Hilton was right there to 506 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: blow up the play and make kir And fumble the 507 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: ball and then at a time of why we got 508 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 4: jumped on the football and recover the fumble there and 509 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 4: that he's played a nice he played a nice game today. 510 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 4: He's done a nice job, done a good job for 511 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 4: the defensive line. And for him to get out there 512 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 4: and get a half a sack, I might have give 513 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 4: him another half a sack yeah, and a lot to one. 514 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 4: I don't know, but it doesn't matter. But he was 515 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 4: there in the backfield to get that sack as well. 516 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: So he's done a nice job. And that's what you 517 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 4: want from guys. You want guys that you can depend 518 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 4: on that hey when they call your number, to play 519 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: regardless if you're starting or if you're not starting, that 520 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 4: you can go out there and play and be effective 521 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 4: and the coaches have confidence in you that they can 522 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 4: put you out there. 523 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: And he's been playing well this year. 524 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: He's been doing a nice job for the defensive line, 525 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 4: making sure that when he gets out there, he's trying 526 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 4: to make something happen. And today he did make something happen. 527 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 4: It's good to see that he's out there playing and 528 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 4: hopefully he will continue to play like that and continue 529 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 4: to make those big plays. 530 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: And he also had the big holding call that he 531 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: had a nice rush back, drew another holding penalty that 532 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: pushed the Rams back. I think they were close to 533 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: midfield that one pushed him back. So that's another part 534 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: where you feel that presence that it forced, you know, 535 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: the offensive line, you know, to draw extra attention and 536 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: illegally hold him because he had a good rush. So 537 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: those are really good signs you're seeing out of Tamawa 538 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: at a bare here through a couple of games here. 539 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: Now, final thing that I want to talk about, and 540 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: this is. 541 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: Probably something I don't know if anybody's probably going to 542 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: mention it, but I think Anthony Gould deserves a lot 543 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: of credit today because in the return game, this was 544 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: one that I know hearing from Brian Mason who talked 545 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: about it last week. This Rams, especially the kickoff game, 546 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: was an area that they were a little concerned by 547 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: because the Rams were the best in the league, allowing 548 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: essentially just fifteen yards per return. They were, you know, 549 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: not I don't even know how you describe it. He 550 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: calls it like, you know, these these little squib rolling kicks. 551 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: We saw that on full display. But Anthony Gould did 552 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: a really good job. He averaged twenty two point eight 553 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: yards per kick return. But then in the punt game, 554 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: fifteen point five yards per punt return. 555 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 2: What is that number? Bill? You know this now? 556 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: I always thought if you can get eight yards on 557 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: a punt return, that's pretty good because you're almost getting 558 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: a first down and that helps when you think about 559 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: field position. Fifteen and a half yards per return, that's 560 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: really really good. 561 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: In the punt game. 562 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, in the punt game, that's excellent. 563 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 4: Actually, to be honest with you, but when I played, 564 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 4: our coach always asked us to try to get it 565 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 4: first down. That means get ten yards on a punt return. 566 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 4: So if we get ten yards and get a first down. 567 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 4: That's one less first downs the offense has to get 568 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 4: to try to go down and score. So for him 569 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: to average fifteen point five is excellent for a young 570 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 4: man out there playing in the second year in the 571 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 4: National Football League. 572 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: So you see him grow. 573 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 4: In the special teams area, how he catches the punts, 574 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: how he feels the punts, and just holding onto the ball, 575 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: making some guys miss and getting positive yards, and that's 576 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 4: something that you want to see from a young guy, 577 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 4: and he does that. He's getting positive yards. But the 578 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 4: most important thing you want to do back there on 579 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 4: part returns and kickoff returns is to make a good decision. 580 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 4: That's first, you have to make good decisions back there. 581 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: Then once you make a decision, you go with it 582 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 4: and hopefully it's successful. And if you're going to return 583 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 4: the ball, try to make sure on a part return 584 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: you get at least ten yards and then anything after 585 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 4: that is gravy and it helps the offense out. So 586 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 4: today averaging fifteen and a half yards on part returns, 587 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 4: that is excellent for part returner. So hopefully he can 588 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 4: continue that and keep that number above ten yards. 589 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a really good day. 590 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: I thought from special teams, it was really good to 591 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: see Anthony Goo will be able to kind of help 592 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: the offense with those little extra yardage as much as 593 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: you can there. But we talked about it, the Colts 594 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: fall on the road. But I'm going to bring up 595 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: one of the things you always talk about, Bill. The 596 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: Colts start three and one that way through the first 597 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: quarter this season. 598 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 2: That's a check. 599 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: They won that first quarter of the season. And now 600 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: they've got back to back home games they host the 601 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: Raiders and the Cardinals. Three and one, you lose to 602 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: a pretty good Rams team on the road in a 603 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: really I thought it was a really good game, twenty 604 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: seven to twenty. 605 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: Not a whole lot to hang your head on. 606 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 3: No, it's not. 607 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 4: I mean, unfortunately the coach lost this one, and but 608 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 4: fortunately they were three. There are three and one in 609 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 4: the first quarter. They won their first three games, lost 610 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 4: this game. And I think if you would ask majority 611 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 4: of Coat fans and during training camp, but before the 612 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 4: season started, if the coach started three and one, how 613 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 4: would you feel, I think most people will say we 614 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 4: will feel pretty good about the team if they way 615 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 4: they played thus far for these four games. Now, if 616 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 4: you win the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and 617 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: fourth quarter and you win three and one. I know 618 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 4: there's seventeen games, but that equals out twelve and four, 619 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 4: and that's pretty good. 620 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: Twelve and four. 621 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: So even if you lose the last game twelve and five, 622 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 4: you know that's pretty good. You're in the playoffs, so 623 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 4: you know. Hopefully the Coats can continue to play well 624 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: each quarter win the games. But first they have to regroup, 625 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 4: learn from the mistakes they made today, especially those self 626 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 4: inflicted wounds, get better, learn how to not make those 627 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 4: mistakes and put them in bad situations. Hopefully they can 628 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: improve on that. If they can do that, then they 629 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 4: have a good chance of being successful in the second quarter, 630 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: and hopefully you just build on that each and every quarter. 631 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens. It's nice if the coach 632 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 4: are three and one. It would be better if there 633 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 4: four and four and zero, of course, but being three 634 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 4: on one is nice. Scott be ready next week to 635 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 4: play and hopefully come out of that game coming back 636 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 4: home being four and one. 637 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: Well. 638 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: As the Colts head into that second quarter, as Bill 639 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: Brooks likes to break down the schedule, they will be 640 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: home against the Raiders, who fell to the Bears on Sunday. 641 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: The Raiders are one and three in their first season 642 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: under Pete Carroll at the Helm. My early scouting report 643 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: on this game. Bill Gino Smith, the new quarterback in 644 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: Las Vegas through four games, has thrown seven interceptions, including 645 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: three in the. 646 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: Loss to the Bears. 647 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: So that is definitely an area where the Colts can 648 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: look at that turnover margin and they can hopefully be 649 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: able to keep Geno Smith kind of going in that 650 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: struggling up and down because he's thrown. 651 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: For a lot of yards. 652 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: He's been able to bring the Raiders back, but hopefully 653 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: this Colts team can get out to him early and 654 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: continue that interception parade that he's kind of been living on. 655 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully that's what you want to do. 656 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: Hopefully you continue to let him throw interceptions and put 657 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 4: some pressure on him so he makes the unadvised ill 658 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 4: avised I said throws and guys will be able to 659 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 4: pick it off out there in the backfield. So hopefully 660 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 4: those guys in the back there, the DBS linebackers, they'll 661 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 4: have an opportunity to make some interceptions and make some 662 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 4: big plays. But also, you know what, however, they could 663 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: turn the ball over, get the ball back to the offense. 664 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 4: That would be great. So we'll see what happens there. 665 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 4: But there's an opportunity to go there and win a 666 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 4: game against another AFC opponent.
