I'm Matt Taylor with Rick today on the horn, 9 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: who has nearly three decades of coaching background of the 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: National Football League, and the Coults are trying to break 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: out of a three game skid. They're in a slump 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: and this week they're getting ready to face off against 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, their second straight NFC South opponent. Rick, 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the podcast. Man. How you doing on 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: this first day of November. It's cold outside, dude. 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: Man, it's cold outside. I'm looking out over the thirteenth 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: Toll at Harbor Trees and my mulch is the guy 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: A little bit as you call it, Dandre, A little 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: bit of snow on top of that, so you know, 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: just when I'm feeling good again and I want to 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: get back out on the chopper. Not quite today, I 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: don't think so. 23 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you got to watch that weather forecast. 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: See if there's a break in the weather there. I 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: was out last night with the kid. I was doing 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: some trick or treating. Man. I had to test that 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: man card. I was ready to go in by about 28 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: seven fifteen of my six year old. She got it out, 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: hit about another you know, a half dozen houses. You 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: remember those days going trick or treating, do you not? 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: I was so good to and as a matter of fact, 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: I ran down to Jayson, my son's house, and he 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: had the grandkids. He had Austin and he was out 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: running around all night. As a matter of fact, I 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: never did see him. I had a little dinner and 36 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: I always got saw. I don't know what the heck 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: time that twelve year old got back, but I'll trust 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: he got back. So but no, no, really, obviously a 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: fun time of the year. You know we're getting into 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: and for us, I mean this is big money time. 41 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: You know, we're starting were digging that little bit of 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: a hole again, and we really these next two weeks, 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: we really got to get out of it, man, We 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: got to get out of it by bye week. But 45 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 2: it's only one at a time, So I mean, the 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: only important one our super Bowl this week is in 47 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: the Charlotte. 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Two road games for the Colts before that week off, 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: trying to get to five and five before the bye week. 50 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Before we get into all that, let's go ahead and 51 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: put that Saints game to bed. It was, you know, 52 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: certainly like we talked about after the game on Monday night, 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: it was gut wrenching, It was heartbreaking. It was all 54 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: the fields, as the kids say. And the offense continues 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: to put up a lot of points, but the defense 56 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: couldn't keep the Saints out of the end zone. As 57 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: the Colts now rank last in the NFL on points 58 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: allowed on the season. In fact, Rick it, we'll talk 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: about this too if you go back to week eleven 60 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: of last year, Week eleven, twenty twenty two, and the 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: season kind of started the spiral out of control for 62 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: the Colts. Since Week eleven last year to now, the 63 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Colts are giving up thirty points per game, which is 64 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: last in the NFL. From that standpoint, So how do 65 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: you feel about this New Orleans loss? About thirty six 66 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: hours later, kind of putting it to bed. 67 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, and we kind of talked 68 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: about this Monday night on the on the roundtable, but 69 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: I really haven't changed. I mean, my my world is 70 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: really upside down with this team, and it's it's it's 71 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 2: good and it's bad. I mean, you know, who would 72 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: have thought, you know, at this stage of the season, 73 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: you know that we would rank you know, so high 74 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: on offense, we ranking, you know, in six categories that 75 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: I think are important. The lowest we rank is thirteen, 76 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: scoring number six, you know, total number eight, rush per 77 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: four point five, number five. I mean I would have 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: taken this and run with it. And the reason I 79 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: say it was upside down, I didn't expect that. You know, 80 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: when we talked day and day out in training camp, 81 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: you know, we were just hoping that we would develop 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 2: on offense with the young quarterback. And you know, never 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: did we think by now be playing a bunch of 84 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: games with the number two. And then my world is 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: upside down because I'm really disappointed in the defense, and 86 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: the graphic that you just pointed out even makes it worse. 87 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: You know, I think we had really high expectations there 88 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: were people talking about, you know, the Colts defense maybe 89 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: a top ten defense, and it's just been a real disappointment, 90 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: you know, it really has. I mean, you know, I 91 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: thought that Shane did a great job on offense Sunday 92 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: to get twenty seven. I mean, he's getting a lot 93 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: of yards also against top level defenses. I mean you 94 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: look at you look at Tennessee, Cleveland, you know, and 95 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: now New Orleans. I mean you're talking about top defenses, 96 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: you know. And he's in one hundred and sixty yards 97 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: rushing in every one of those three games. And you know, 98 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: and the point total. I mean, we've been over twenty 99 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: eight consecutive games. I mean, so you know, that's really 100 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: really outstanding. But then on defense, it's just the opposite. 101 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: It just seems like we've unraveled and we have no 102 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: answer for it. You know, five hundred and eleven yards, 103 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: three point fifty four and one sixty. I mean, and 104 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: against the team that was really struggling, you know, And 105 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: I think the two terrible statistics, particularly the second one. 106 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: The first one is we're thirty second in points giving 107 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: up and I always thought that that was your number 108 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: one barometer. Now you can get some you know that 109 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: can distort it a little bit if you have a 110 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 2: lot of turnovers, which we do. But the worst one 111 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: to me is we're twenty eighth in total defense, so 112 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: you're you're exactly right. From week eleven to now, we're 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: really not stopping anybody. And I was disappointed both in 114 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: the way we approached the Saints and then the way 115 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: we executed I you know, and I don't want to 116 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: kill it, but you know, I would have never put 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: Tony out there on the outside. And I've heard all 118 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: the reasons and rationales, but I've watched every practice. I 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: watched all those guys together. Tony is a very serviceable nickel. 120 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 2: He can play inside not kill you. He may not 121 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: win the game for you, but he'll never kill you 122 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: in there. In that position. This defense actually gives some 123 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: help to on the outside. Okay, there's no help. This 124 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: is a single high. Sometimes they'll play quarters, but for 125 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: the most part there's almost literally no cover too, so 126 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: there's really no corner roll up everywhere to help them, 127 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: which to me is a real real weakness philosophically right now, 128 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: because you know you have inferior corners, it doesn't matter 129 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: how we got here. Okay, we can argue about roster construction, injuries, suspensions, 130 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: giving away Gilmore, all those things can be argued, but 131 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: that's not the important thing. The important thing is where 132 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: are you now? And when you're like that, a staff, 133 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: a defensive staff, their job is to mitigate the damages. 134 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: And that's why you do have to help your corners. 135 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: You got to play more cover too. You got to 136 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: play more corner roles, cover eight, you know, cover three, 137 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: cover reverse eight. You can do different things to man underneath. 138 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of things you can do 139 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: that we are not doing. So you know, whoever we 140 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: put out there is not really a top tier player 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 2: in the league regardless. So you know that's a mistake. 142 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: And I also now this and this isn't new in 143 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: you kids, because I've caught him the show before a 144 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: year ago. I order, I argued the Eberflush staff with us. 145 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: I cannot believe the stubbornness in not pushing when you're 146 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: in trouble like this, you just let Kenny out on 147 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: one side and you take a kid like Tony, or 148 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: you take a black man and you play them at 149 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: the nickel. I mean, that goes back forty years with me, 150 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: you always play your outside guy has got to have priority. 151 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: I mean you can see it in the pay pay 152 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: scale of the NFL, so you know, and particularly when 153 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: you were going to play a team like the Saints, 154 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: you know that have so much skill on the outside, 155 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: and then they have a quarterback who's a big shoe. 156 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: I mean, some guys you know won't take those shots outside, 157 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: but you and I know that guy will. That guy 158 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: will take it at any time, which he proved it. 159 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: And then we're really we're really struggling inside on the interior. 160 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: And that's something that we have to really fix. I mean, 161 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: you just can't sit there and play with the guys 162 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: who we're playing with, you know, without you know, changing up, 163 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: and the changeups to me, I talked about him last week. 164 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: When you're in, you're over, that's when you want to 165 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: be firing your mic. That's when you want to be 166 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: firing Franklin coming off the edge, moving that noseguard so 167 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: they don't get a shot at him. And then, for 168 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: the life of me, and for the life of me, 169 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: I can't understand why we're not jumping into some bear. 170 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody else in the league. It's either now 171 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: they're You're gonna see it almost every down this Saturday 172 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: in Charlotte. Yeah, I mean, you're everybody's playing bear. If 173 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: it's not their first defense, it's their second defense. And 174 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: that really would make us better both on the rush 175 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: game and on the pass rup game, because we're not 176 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: you know, we're really not getting the pressure, you know, 177 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: and and it you know, if it's not Buckner or 178 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: Abu Khan, it's just not there. It's really not there. 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: And the problem buck has interior is you can slide 180 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: the protection to a three technique almost the entire down 181 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: and he's still getting some pressure, but it's you know, 182 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: you can't count on an interior guy to do it. So, 183 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: you know, we got some real issues. And until to me, 184 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: until we come to grips schematically, it's not going to 185 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: get better. 186 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: Rick, what what would you you know you're playing Carolina 187 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: today secondary? Secondary wise, we don't know about ju Ju Brints, 188 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: but personnel, how would you try to defend Carolina based 189 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: on the players you have to your disposal in the 190 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: secondary right now? 191 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: Well, two things, Okay, when I went Nickel, I would 192 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: have Tony Brown at the nickel and I would leave 193 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: Kenny out at the outside. So I would have Jalen 194 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: and Kenny at the corners and I and I would 195 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: have I would have Tony inside at the nickel. And 196 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: the second thing I would do is I'm going to 197 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: take away Adam Feeling every single down. This will be 198 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: a disgrace. Now if Feeling comes in and kills us. 199 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: Feeling has fifty seven catches, you know, it's sixth in 200 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: the league. I mean the next guy has like fifteen 201 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: r I mean, he is their pass offense and he 202 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: is really good. I mean I think he's he's always 203 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: been really underrated. But Frank knows he's got to get 204 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 2: him the ball. So there is no situation none that 205 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: he isn't the key guy. I mean sometimes, like you know, 206 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: like Trimbull has a couple catches in the red zone 207 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: simply because they double them. You know, they got the 208 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: ball a little bit to their rookie Mingo the other 209 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: day because they double. You know, teams are just starting 210 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: to just try to clamp him with two guys. But 211 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: again I told you about how I would line up 212 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: the secondary and nickel and then number two. I would 213 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: make sure that that guy does not beat me no 214 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: matter what I. 215 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: Have to do, all right, Dan, Well, let's close out 216 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: the capsule here on the month of October. Now it's 217 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: on in November where the Colts are. As we said, 218 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna play two road games, including a game in 219 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: Germany coming up, then a bye week, and then a 220 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: home game the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and up first a 221 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: trip to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers, who 222 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: are one in six. They're off to their worst start 223 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: since the twenty twelve season. They're in last place in 224 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: the NFC South, and they owned the second worst record 225 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: right now in the NFC. But they did notch their 226 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: first win of the season last Sunday. They beat the 227 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: Texans on a last second field goal, prevailing their fifteen 228 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: to thirteen the victory for them that was their first 229 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: in nearly three hundred days, and it was the first 230 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter comeback for the Panthers as a franchise since 231 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen season. They're now coached by former Colts 232 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: head coach. We all know that Frank Reich, who guided 233 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: the Colts from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty two, led 234 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: the Colts of the playoffs twice, guided them to forty 235 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: one wins, including two years with ten plus wins in 236 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty twenty. They've got a rookie quarterback 237 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: and Bryce Young. He's been more up than down so 238 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: far this season, and they've been outscored by seventy two 239 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: points on the year and rick four of their six 240 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: losses have been by double figure So what else do 241 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: we need to know about the Panthers? That's their big 242 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: picks for going into game number nine here or week 243 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: number nine. I should say, yeah. 244 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: I think number one. You know, obviously the number one 245 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: factor I'm going to start with and end with is 246 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 2: obviously Frank. There's no doubt that his presence makes this 247 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: game very, very interesting, probably gives them a little bit 248 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: of an advantage motivationally. Sure, you know, I think there's 249 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: no question about it. It just is what it is. 250 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 2: You know, for him, the season really is on the brink. 251 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: But the win Sunday was a great win for them, 252 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: and it probably was a life raft for Frank. There 253 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: are people saying that he wouldn't make it through this season. 254 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: You know, they're not a really good team. You know, 255 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: I've looked at so many teams on tape. You know, 256 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: they're a subpar team, but we know from history that 257 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: there's no one in the league that isn't capable of 258 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 2: beating someone else. Just to ask Kansas City about Denver 259 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: this last Sunday, you know, and you know between the lines, 260 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: young is getting better. I mean, he hasn't been special, 261 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: but he was really solid against the Texans. He against 262 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: the Texans, he showed them things that we everybody liked 263 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 2: about him. He was smart. He does have really good escapability. 264 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: He's a guy that you have to keep and closed. 265 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: Now he doesn't he doesn't escape to run, although he 266 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: has I think he's six ' three when he does 267 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: run the ball. But he really does a good job. 268 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: And this was his strength in college is he will 269 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: move around and he will uncover guys and look to 270 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: hit him downfield. You know, he led that last drive. 271 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: He had too long drives. Didn't score a lot of points, 272 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: but they had two long drives in the last one 273 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: obviously was a great drive that they got the walk 274 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: off field goal. And I thought he was outstanding. So 275 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: that's got to be good for his confidence. You know. Statistically, 276 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: you know, he's not very good, number thirty one in QBR, 277 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: but you know, I see the upside. We saw it 278 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: last week, a real steady performance. I really like Cuba Hobbard. 279 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: I know he's three to nine after last week, but 280 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: he was four or five going in, and I think 281 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: that's one of the real keys. He's a real slasher. Now, 282 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: Frank's offense is very simple right now. I think he's 283 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: keeping it very simple for the quarterback. You know, there's 284 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: not a lot of sophistication both in the running game. 285 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: It's mostly zone. But he's always been that way, even 286 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: when he's here. It was pretty much always just a 287 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: zone offense. But I think Hubbard is a threat. The 288 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: guy that scares me a little bit. The guy that ah, 289 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: you know that they brought in is Black Sheear and 290 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: he has come in and he is kind of a 291 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: Swiss army knife yeah guy. Yeah, yeah, he's listed as 292 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: the third running back, but he has really come in 293 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: and done a really, really good job. Chanaul was the 294 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: guy I was starting to think of. Chanel with the 295 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: kid from Jacksonville was kind of their Swiss army knife, 296 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: that kind of that receiver running back return guy. Well, 297 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: he's injured and so they went with they you know, 298 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: they went with Black Sear and Black. Sheear scares me 299 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: because he is really fast, I mean coming out of 300 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: the backfield, so I would say you have to be 301 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: alert for him. And then the offense spins around Feeling. 302 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: We already kind of touched on it. You know, fifty 303 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: seven catches, sixth in the league, and he's really good 304 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: and he lines up everywhere. I mean he can be outside, inside. Uh, 305 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 2: Frank is doing his best. Sean McVeigh, like they using Nakua, 306 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: he's in bunches, he's in stacks, you know, so you 307 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: can't necessarily always get your hands on him. But he 308 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: is the guy fifty seven catches. There is no situation 309 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: where he isn't number one. Now what's happened is some 310 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: other guys, like Mingo, their rookie is getting some work 311 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: now at slot. He had a few catches Sunday, and 312 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: basically that's just because you know, at times last week, 313 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: Houston just literally double Feeling then made him throw to 314 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: somebody else and then tremble. The Notre Dame kid has 315 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: had two touchdowns in the red zone. Same thing. People 316 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: double the heck out of you know, they double the 317 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: heck out of Thieling and then your tight end is 318 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: one on one and he's been able to get a 319 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: couple of touchdowns. Okay, again, not very complicated, pretty much 320 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: his own running game offense all the way. But again, 321 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: there is no situation tato. Normally I would say situationally 322 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 2: or when the game's on the line. Well, the game's 323 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: on the line every play with Tylan, so you have 324 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: to definitely be alert for him. Now, a couple other 325 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: things I would add to this, and this doesn't mean 326 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: you do it schematically. These are guys you have to 327 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: take away technically. Chark is their vertical outside guy. He 328 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: was at Jacksonville High draft pick. He's tall, he's long, 329 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: and he can run. And what they like to do 330 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 2: that he's like everybody's kind of that classic X now 331 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 2: which we're see in every week. What I mean by 332 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 2: X the weak side split in away from the strength. 333 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: If they can get you to over balance, if they 334 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: can get you to overcover away. He's their fifty to 335 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 2: fifty guy. He's there. He's their backfade fifty to fifty 336 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: one on one guy. Doesn't have a lot of catches, 337 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: but he has a really he's fourteen to seven per 338 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: so when he does catch it, it's usually a pretty 339 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: big play. So you know that the other guy, I 340 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: would say that you have to be alert for their 341 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 2: offensive line. To me, you know, they'll block those zones 342 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: pretty well when they're all shoe to shoe, but they 343 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: you know, they're again, they're again. They're a mess in 344 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: terms of protection, even with a mobile quarterback like this 345 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: kid is, like young is. They're twenty ninth in sacks 346 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 2: and you know when they're behind or behind in the change, 347 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 2: they're really a mess. I thought that Sunday a quono 348 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: they're left tackle. They just killed him again. He couldn't 349 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: handle speed to power. And then Corbett came in at 350 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 2: right guard and he couldn't handle a snatch and go. 351 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: And it's you know, you hear me talk about it 352 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 2: all the time. It's a baskin Robbins, it's a you know, 353 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: it's a take a number, which guy do you want 354 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: to work on? And so that's why I think that's 355 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: important and we all know, and I'm just gonna tell 356 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: them like it is. Frank's team have never had good 357 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: blitz control. They didn't have it here, they don't have 358 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: it there. Stone block very well. They don't do a 359 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: great job of identification. So if you're ever going to 360 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: pressure somebody, it's this team on defense. Their statistics, you know, 361 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: pretty much tell the tale. You know. They they will 362 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: play good if they get an advantage. If they get 363 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: an advantage, you see, they have a really good I 364 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: think they're number three on third down and they're number 365 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: six versus the past, so there's a strength there, but 366 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: they need advantage the rest of it. Thirtieth in scoring, 367 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 2: thirty first in the red zone, and this is a 368 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 2: good one for the Colts. Twenty eighth in rush per 369 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: they're giving up four point seven. But they have some 370 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: good players. I think Louvu. They're inside linebacker who I 371 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 2: didn't know a lot about. Look the tape. He's a 372 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: really good player, Matt. I mean in all aspects. You know, 373 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: he's a tackling machine. He's a terrific blitz. He's got 374 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: three and a half sacks. I mean he's second next 375 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 2: to Burns. And then they have a real fast edge 376 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: guy and burn You know, Burns is a guy that 377 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: can come off that edge and smoke it. He has 378 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: five sacks right now. As a as a team, they 379 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: play really hard. I mean they really go. But to me, 380 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: when I watch them. They're out of control, their angles 381 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: aren't good. They're flying around, but it's not always purposeful. 382 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: And when you're when you're like that, you become a 383 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: bad tackling team, which I think they are. You know, 384 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: they lost their guy, their local kid here ten uh 385 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: he's he was their big nickel safety, played all over. 386 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: He's being replaced by a young kid named Robinson. And 387 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: in base now they'll play some over with quarters and 388 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: quarter half. But I tell you what they're gonna do 389 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 2: against us, They're gonna major in five man bear. You know, 390 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: Frank wanted to do that a year ago and and 391 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 2: the guy never go along with it. And they play 392 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 2: two types. They'll play a five a regular bass bear 393 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: with five, you know, five front guys and two linebackers. 394 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: And then they'll play a five to one five where 395 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: they'll play five one linebacker, one nickel and four defensive backs. 396 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: So it kind of depends on the situation, but they'll 397 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 2: play bear or they'll get in there over and they'll 398 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 2: bliz those two guys inside, those two linebackers inside. And 399 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: so in general, what you're thinking is they are really 400 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: aggressive on first down. I mean, they want to stop 401 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: the run. They're gonna and particularly with our team with 402 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 2: Jonathan and Moss, they they are gonna bload it. I 403 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: just guarantee you they will load it. And you know, 404 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: so I mean be alert for that. If they get 405 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: long yardage in their four man line, they do a 406 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: lot of overloading to one side and like you know, 407 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: the irony again they're third on third down. Burns has 408 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: five sacks. And don't forget Houston who was here. You know, 409 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: he plays opposite He plays opposite Burns. You know, he 410 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: doesn't have a big year yet this year. But this 411 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 2: is another kid. I always look at history on guys 412 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: like that. That's just a kid with one hundred and 413 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: twelve sacks nineteen strips, so and he'll be highly motivated 414 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: as well. I like their corners Henderson Jackson on the 415 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: outside and he'll let nickel. But I think you can 416 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: go after them. I think you have to because they're 417 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: gonna load it. Like I said, they're gonna load that front, 418 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 2: and so I think you have to go after him. 419 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: And I'll get into the must on how to do 420 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: it right. But I think they have an issue because 421 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: in order to load it, they'll just they'll be naked 422 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: they'll be naked most of the game. And then when 423 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: they're not because they rush five a lot and they 424 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 2: bring five. They also have real problems underneath. I think 425 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: it's horrendous. And then when when you're trying to drop 426 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: those guys from the line of scrimmage, they get distorted 427 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: in those underneath drops, and so you know, you got 428 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: to be good. But they're dangerous. You know, they got 429 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 2: edge guys. They can make it tough on you. They 430 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: got a think Blitzer and Louisue and they have really 431 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 2: solid corners. So you know, there's there's a method for 432 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: them to not only be in this game. And you know, 433 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, at the end of 434 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: the day, they held Houston to thirteen, right, and what 435 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: was it two hundred and thirty five yards or something. 436 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: I mean, they had a really good day on both 437 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 2: sides of the ball. Sunday. 438 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: All right, then, well let's bust out the blueprints. Now, 439 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: let's get specific here. Let's start first with the Carolina offense. 440 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: The Colts, as we said, they're hoping to keep that 441 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: point total down this Sunday after allowing at least thirty 442 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: seven points in three straight games for the first time 443 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: since the twenty eighteen season. Frank Reich, who called the 444 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: plays here in Indianapolis. He's handed those duties off to 445 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who's in his first season in Carolina. 446 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: They're averaging just eighteen points per game. They've been held 447 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: to under twenty and three games already on the season. 448 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: Bryce Young is the rookie quarterback. He's out of Alabama. 449 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: He's the first overall pick, and like we said, it's 450 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: been a rocky start to his career, but he did 451 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: show some poise on the game's final drive last Sunday 452 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: against the Texans, which should quiet some of his critics 453 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: for the time being. He posted the best game of 454 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: his young career. He had a one zero, three point 455 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: six passer rating against the Texans, out dueling fellow rookie 456 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: quarterback c J. Stroud. And we all remember him at Alabama, 457 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: alrighty the only quarterback in school history there to pass 458 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: for at least three thousand yards in two seasons and 459 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: finished second all time in passing yards and passing touchdowns. 460 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: He was twenty three and four in college and won 461 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy in twenty twenty one, and as you said, 462 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: the favorite target for the Panthers former Viking Adam Thielen, 463 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: it's not even close. He ranked six and catches this 464 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: season with fifty seven. The running game there it split 465 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: up between Miles Sanders and Chewba Hubbard, and they like 466 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: both Tommy Trimble and Hayden Hurst at the tight end spot. 467 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: So that's the skinny on the Panthers on offense, reck 468 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: help us kind of fill in the gap, says Frank Reich, 469 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: plays his former team orchestrating that offense. 470 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you defined it very well. I mean they're gonna, 471 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna try to keep it simple, keep 472 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 2: you know, short in the game, try to keep it 473 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: simple for the quarterback, try to keep him out of 474 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: bad situations, keep him in advantage all day. You know, 475 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: they do a lot of quick rhythm passing on first down, 476 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: moot legs, things that you know they'd like to think 477 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: they could be at second and four. And I think, 478 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: you know, their their life will live or die based 479 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: on how well they do that. As I said, they're 480 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: very very simplistic. I think that's by design. It's almost 481 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: exclusively a zone run team. And when you start talking 482 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 2: about who you have to stop, you know, I mean 483 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: that starts with Hubbard. Sanders was going to be the starter, 484 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: but he's been nicked up. He did play a couple 485 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: plays Sunday the kid from Philly, but in reality, Hubbard 486 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 2: has really been the guy. And like I said, going 487 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: into Sunday's game, he was four point five. Now he 488 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: got shut down, so it's down to three to nine, 489 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 2: but he was. He went into that game at four 490 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: point five per He's a real slasher. And then again, 491 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 2: the offense really revelves passing game all revalves around feeling, 492 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: you know, with complimentary parts. Shark outside and as you said, 493 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: the two tight ends inside. I think the danger zone 494 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: you gotta be a lerk for is black cheer. I 495 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: look at him as a you know, a Swiss army knife. 496 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: You know, a guy that can come in and all 497 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 2: of a sudden run a wheel route. You know, a 498 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: guy that can run a sweep really quick, A guy 499 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: that could split out and get you in the scene. 500 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 2: I just I just look at him as on a 501 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: team without a lot of weapons, a guy that you 502 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: have to know where he's at. Again, their offensive line 503 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: will do an adequate job on zone runs. And that's 504 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: why I like Bear because Bear had Bear. If you 505 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: remember last year, Bear just shuts down zones runs. I mean, 506 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 2: we couldn't make an inch even with Jonathan Taylor a 507 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: year ago when they gave us Bear. But anyway, again, 508 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 2: it'll revolve around how well the quarterback plays. They do 509 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: play decent in the red zone and on third down, 510 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: but their pass protection is it's just all up and 511 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 2: down the line. They can't handle it. Like I said 512 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: twenty ninth in sacks with a mobile quarterback and their 513 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: blitz control. It was that way here and it's that 514 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: way there. It's a no show, all right. In terms 515 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: of the Colts blueprint for victory on defense, and this 516 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: is pretty obvious. Number one. Deny the zone running game. 517 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: Like I said, Hubbard is a slasher and black Sheer 518 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: is a loose play guy with scary Sunday speeds up 519 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 2: the game. We have to dominate that line of scrimmage, 520 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 2: force those second and longs where that offensive line will 521 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: be in trouble. I would do two things. I would 522 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: get in my over and i would bring outside pressure 523 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 2: and move inside so that I'm taking away you know, 524 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 2: the boulets. I'm taking away the edge plays, and I'm 525 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: moving that nose tackle and then I'm going to jump 526 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: into bear, which we've never done with five man front 527 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: because I know that Frank just will. He just has 528 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 2: no answer for it. And that's all so good against 529 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 2: a play pass in boots. Again, we want to make 530 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 2: them one dimensional. That is their enemy. Their enemy is 531 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: a game that they get behind in the chains and 532 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 2: they have to throw draft back number two just and 533 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: this could be one you gotta take away feeling. Okay, 534 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: this is their guy four tds along with the fifty 535 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: seven catches and most impressively which I always look at, 536 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixteen yards after the catch. Okay, he's 537 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: having a great year and he stands alone on this team. 538 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 2: If you don't defend him, then it's beyond comprehension, to 539 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: be honest with you, because he's the go to guy 540 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: in every situation, all critical situations. You must take him 541 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: away schematically and he'll be all over. So it's a challenge, 542 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: and they're going to do what they do with Nicou 543 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: at the rams. They're going to stack them and bunch them. 544 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: And what they're going to try to do is make 545 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 2: you back off. And if you back off, you know 546 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: what you have to do is lock and load this team. 547 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: You've got to be able to get up there, level 548 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: off one another so you don't run into one another. 549 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: But you want to still pick him up with help 550 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: as he comes off the line. If they can accomplish 551 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: getting him free access all day, then they're going to 552 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: gain the advantage. Got to take away feeling number three. 553 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 2: Know who the complimentaries are and play them technique wise. 554 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: You're not going to be able to play them schematically, 555 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: so you got to. I think you can bang the 556 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: heck out of Chark on the weak side. I've never 557 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: felt like he was physical. Press him hard and play 558 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 2: physical with him, make him cry, and no cheap plays 559 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: all right on the running back. Make sure black Sheer 560 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: we know where he is. Don't let him have a 561 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 2: situation where they could pick and rub for him and 562 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: get a play. No big plays to him in space, 563 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 2: hug him, mingo in the slot. I see him as 564 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: a guy that your nickel corner because he'll get the 565 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: one on one because they're gonna move theeling into three. 566 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 2: They're gonna move theling on the weak side, so he's 567 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: going to get a lot of one on one. So 568 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: you want to press him, press him hard. I don't 569 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: see him as a speed guy. I think you can 570 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 2: jam and take him away and then tremble again. It 571 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: has become kind of that red zone alternative, and that's 572 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: really because of that. So I think that's important. All right, 573 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 2: get ahead of the count number four, Get ahead of 574 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: the count and rush the passer and close young. Make 575 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: him throw from in the pocket. Make a short player 576 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: play shorter. Okay. What you don't want to do is 577 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: give him waanes to move in or edge to get 578 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: out of, because he will do it. He's instinctive. You 579 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: saw it at Bama. I saw it last week. He 580 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 2: will get in and out outside and then he will 581 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 2: throw on the run in uncovered people, you can attack 582 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: them across the line. I think they're two weakest guys. 583 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: Is I Guano at left tackle speed to power. He 584 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: got knocked on his butt three times. They were able 585 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 2: to snatch and go on Corvitt because he can't get 586 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: a second effort. And the other thing is against Frank. 587 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: This is like I said, Frank has no answer for Bear. 588 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: The other thing he has no answer for is if 589 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: you get up and you mug on third down, you 590 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: walk your linebackers up, you freeze that inside five and 591 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 2: then you come off the edges. We still suffer from 592 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: that here. We still have not totally overcome that. But 593 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: he has a lot of trouble with those perimeter blitzes. Okay, 594 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: and then I think specialized situations. Again, you do have 595 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: to give him credit. You know, they're pretty good in 596 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: red zone and pretty good on third down and in 597 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 2: every one of those situations, Matt, who do you think 598 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: it is? It's feeling Okay, everyone alert in the red zone, 599 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: and then they run some good old fashioned red zone 600 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: concepts and they'll usually move feeling around to be the 601 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: primary guy Dino's which is a double post, the nine 602 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: to seven to three which is a go and then 603 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: a corner and a flat, and then the shave route 604 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: which they'll bring him into number three in the trips, 605 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: and they'll run the outside guys like they would like 606 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: the coach used to run with Manning. I used to 607 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: call it Indie drive. They run both those guys in 608 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 2: and then they take the third guy and run him 609 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 2: to the back of the end zone and shave the 610 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: end zone to the corner. That's where I call it 611 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: the shave, and that's usually there. And then of course 612 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: they're going to put him in at number three, and 613 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: they're going to try to work on Franklin one on 614 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: one on the jurg rout so again at all times, 615 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: and primarily in the red zone in third down. Gotta 616 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: take away feeling again, that's the five, and I always 617 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: just I'll make one last star. Coach Reich has never 618 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: been able to run the ball versus spare with his 619 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: one back offense, and he's never been able to handle 620 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: the mug with perimeter blitzes. 621 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: Rick Venturi right there, this is inside football. That's the 622 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: skinny on the Panthers on offense. Let's move down to 623 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: the Panthers defense and let's see if the Colts can 624 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: move the ball against this Panthers front. Because the Colts 625 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: have put up sixty five points rick in the last 626 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: two games, but they don't have anything to show for it. 627 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: Carolina comes into the game thirtieth in points allowed twenty 628 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: eight point four per and before holding the Texans at 629 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: just thirteen last week. As we said, they did give 630 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: up a combined eighty four points and twelve touchdowns to 631 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: the Lions and the Dolphins. So they're pretty good against 632 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: the pass, but very poor against the run. They're allowing 633 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: nearly one hundred and forty rushing yards per game, and 634 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: they've allowed at least one hundred yards in every game 635 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: on the season. Also, keep an eye out for Brian 636 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: Burns at defensive end. He's got forty three career set 637 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, that's fifth most in team history, and 638 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: he's got twenty five tackles for loss since the start 639 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: of last year, which ranked second in the league. They 640 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: also have former Colt Justin Houston. He's at one of 641 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: the outside linebacker spots. Derek Brown a very disruptive force 642 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: along that defensive line. They move him around a little bit. 643 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and seventy seven career tackles. And 644 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: then Frankie Luvu. He's a really good inside linebacker. He 645 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: had over one hundred tackles last season for the Panthers. So, Rick, 646 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: what else stands out to you about the Panthers defense 647 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: and how right for the picking are they for this 648 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: Colts offense that's humming here. 649 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: Well, the only thing I'll say is they really did 650 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 2: kind of short up last week. Not that Houston is 651 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: the you know, the air Forriel or the monsters of 652 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: the midway, but they did hold him to thirteen in 653 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: about two hundred and thirty four yards, so they did 654 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 2: kind of short up. I think you always have to 655 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: look and so Frank knows this team so well, so 656 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna have a really good idea of 657 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: what our st what our weaknesses are, and what we 658 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 2: have trouble with. Even though we're a different team in 659 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: some ways personnelized, we aren't that much different, to be 660 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: honest with you, than we were a year ago. You know, 661 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: they have struggled, as you said, total red zone. They 662 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 2: have really struggled, and they've given up a lot of 663 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 2: big plays. They play hard, but not necessarily purposeful. I 664 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 2: think what they're gonna do with us is they are 665 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: going to play really heavy on first down. They are 666 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 2: going to try to get into that second and long. 667 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: They're going to try to take Taylor and Moss out 668 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 2: of the game. They know that if they could do that, 669 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: that they're going to have a chance to survive. And 670 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 2: they know that even though we're better this year, we 671 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: struggle with the Bear defense to some degree. If somebody 672 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: like Jacksonville would play at the whole game, well, they 673 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: to me without Jacksonville's talent are the closest philosophically to Jacksonville. 674 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 2: I see them playing the bear, either the five two 675 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 2: four meeting two linebackers or the five to one five 676 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: meeting one linebackers in a nickel. I see them playing 677 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: bear the majority of the game. I see them when 678 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 2: they're not in bear, I see them in over but 679 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 2: firing the linebackers and really firing the two middle linebackers 680 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 2: and really trying to wreak havoc with us. They their 681 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 2: crusade is going to be to shut down Jonathan Taylor 682 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: and Moss on first down. Then if they get in 683 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: longer yarded situations, now they'll begin to add more coverage. 684 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 2: Now you'll see dime pressure. You'll see what I call 685 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 2: one lurk, which is cover one with a rat in 686 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 2: the middle, an eight or a reverse eight meaning a 687 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 2: role either week or a roll strong. They do a 688 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 2: good job with like a high buzz where they bring 689 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 2: the safety in looks like a quarters, but he'll sit 690 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 2: in the weak side curl. And then there's a little 691 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 2: bit of Tampa two and two busters. So if they 692 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 2: can get ahead of the count with their corners and 693 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: their rushers, including Louvou. They they can, they could, that's 694 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 2: where they could be good. I mean, that's you know, 695 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 2: it's it's no it's no accident that they're number six 696 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 2: in the past and they're number three on third down. 697 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 2: So again, their crusade is gonna be there. So in 698 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: my opinion, and I didn't mention Derek Brown, You're right. 699 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up Derek Brown. Derek Brown is 700 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: the one guy in the front interior who is disruptive 701 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: and he does move around as you said. Uh so, 702 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: you know, I kind of I kind of target Derek 703 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: Brown in the first level, Burns and Houston on the outside, 704 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 2: and then Louvu in that second level, and then I 705 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 2: really do like their corners, right all right, the Colt's 706 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 2: blueprint for victory on offense, all right, we got to 707 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 2: pound them. And I think because it's gonna be bear 708 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be off tackle into the edges. 709 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna have to I think they're gonna 710 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,720 Speaker 2: put those three big guys down inside and say, okay, 711 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 2: we're gonna hold on to you, and we're gonna get 712 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 2: Luvu and we're gonna let him run to the ball. 713 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be an off tackle and 714 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: edge game. Again. I think our good running backs are 715 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 2: great running backs actually should think big plays. Okay, this 716 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 2: is a team that, as I said, they go really 717 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 2: hard to the ball, but they take poor angles. They're 718 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 2: not a well drilled angle team. And when you're like that, 719 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 2: what happens is you miss a lot of tackles and 720 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 2: they miss a lot of tackles. And so we have 721 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 2: to be able to get big players, and we are 722 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 2: doing that. We have to be able to continue to 723 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 2: get explosive plays on the running game, and we got 724 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 2: to keep that running game alive. And I think the 725 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 2: key is this. This week, we have to win against 726 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 2: a loaded and pressure first down front. We can't. I 727 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 2: don't think we want to abandon it. I think if 728 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: we abandon it, I think we give them the advantage. 729 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 2: So but that's the challenge because it's not going to 730 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 2: be easy, all right. Number two, we have to attack 731 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: their corners, which I think Jackson and Henderson outside are 732 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 2: a strength. But because of that loaded front that I 733 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 2: just talked about, on the outside, they're going to let 734 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 2: those guys one on one, all right, and on the 735 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: strong side, especially the strong side of your set. Let's 736 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 2: say you're in a pro right, their left corner is 737 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 2: always going to be manned. Occasionally they'll go cover eight 738 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 2: and roll a week. But on the strong side, whether 739 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 2: it's strong left or strong right, that guy is naked. 740 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 2: As I said, so until third down you want to 741 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 2: get afrom And one thing I noticed, Okay, if you 742 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: use zin motion in other words, you know put you know, 743 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 2: right right now, we're we're wearing him out. But I 744 00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 2: like it downs. Use him in motion, or use stack him, 745 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 2: or you bunch him. What happens with them is even 746 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 2: if they're in Manda man covers, they immediately back off. 747 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: They back off. They don't try to lock and level. 748 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 2: Why teams aren't doing that is beyond me because we 749 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 2: always did that lock and level against those kinds of teams. 750 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 2: But what you can gain if a team backs off, 751 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 2: it means you can get free release and then you 752 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 2: can run downs on them one on one. And I 753 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 2: don't think they can stay with him. I mean, and 754 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 2: a lot of it may be underneath. It may be 755 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: a lot of outs and things like that. But again, 756 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 2: use your stacks, use your motion, get that strong side 757 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 2: corner off on first down first down and get after 758 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 2: him also on first down attack with play action underneath. 759 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 2: I mentioned this before. They like to come with five 760 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 2: and they like to play a three short three deep. Okay, 761 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 2: now that is void underneath. I mean it's hard to 762 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 2: play three under and three deep. It's not hard to 763 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 2: play three under and four deep because you're safeties can 764 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 2: dive on curls. But here there's a lot of area 765 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 2: in there to cover, particularly with a playfake where you 766 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 2: get the backers to bite. Plus, they have guys that 767 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 2: like defensive end. They'll drop Houston or they'll drop Burns. 768 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 2: But when those guys are dropping, particularly play action, they 769 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 2: get really distorted getting back. And again I think those 770 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 2: inside holes are there. Now, that's where that's why I 771 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 2: really work underneath and use downs and Pittman in those 772 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 2: holes underneath, because Pittman is really good when he plays 773 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 2: almost like a tight end. Pittman to me, really plays 774 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 2: like a tight end, and I think he would be 775 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 2: outstanding to use in those underneath holes while you lose 776 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 2: when you're using downs outside on the corners. All right, 777 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 2: Number four, In the end, you got to protect the edges. 778 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 2: You got to look at who they are and who 779 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 2: they could be. Burns is legitimate. Burns is a five 780 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 2: SAT guy. He can run the edge. He's not a 781 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 2: big speed to power guy. He is a fin and 782 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: that's get off the ball, run the edge, turn the 783 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,439 Speaker 2: circle and he can go. And then I would never 784 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: underestimate Houston because I always think guys like Houston have 785 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 2: a game or two in them in the course of 786 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 2: the season. You know, they're they're aged, they're up in 787 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 2: the but still, what is it one hundred and twelve 788 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 2: or one hundred and sixteen sacks, And we've had Houston, Houston. 789 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 2: You know, he's had like nineteen strips and five picks. 790 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 2: So you know, those guys off the edge. And then 791 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 2: I think one of the best blitzers in the league. 792 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 2: One of the best blitzers in the league is Louvu. 793 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 2: So again again third down, you know they got three 794 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 2: guys there that can make a difference, all right, all right, 795 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 2: and then number three, I think be alert for the 796 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 2: blitz package on third down. They're gonna see it. They're 797 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 2: gonna if they can get Minshew behind an account, they 798 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 2: like to get over there, mug with the overshift, and 799 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 2: then they get in that delta and then they have, 800 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 2: you know, in that sense, then they have Ah. Then 801 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: they have a couple of linebackers with Louvu in there, 802 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 2: and they will get up there and fake and they'll blitz, 803 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 2: and then they'll bring those edge guys. They've seen those 804 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 2: edge guys. The other thing they do a lot of 805 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 2: is their nickel and their might come that is that 806 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 2: is Hill and Louvu. They'll bring them both to the 807 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 2: strong side and then sometimes be alert for what I 808 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 2: call green dog. A green dog is when a let's 809 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,439 Speaker 2: say a MIC backer has a fullback and the full 810 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 2: back blocks, then that triggers the mic to rush. He's 811 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 2: not an immediate rusher, he's like a second wave and 812 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 2: they kind of do a They do a good job. 813 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 2: But again, perimeter blitzes have not been Mitch Minshew's friends, 814 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 2: so we have to make sure we protect that. So 815 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 2: you know, those are the key issues, uh when we 816 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 2: get really and again, I think it still comes down 817 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: to keeping our identity and we have to pound them 818 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 2: no matter how hard they play us up front. I 819 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 2: like it. 820 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: Those are the blueprints right there from Rick Venturi here 821 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: on in side football and close it all out here, Rick, 822 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, big picture if the Colts, if they 823 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: want to turn their season around and ultimately push for 824 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Here in the month of November and December, 825 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: these are the types of games they gotta win. You 826 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: just kind of mapped out how the Carolina Panthers still 827 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: present a formidable challenge. But and I know it's the NFL, 828 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: it's any given Sunday, But the Panthers are one in six, 829 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 1: They've been outscored by over seventy points on the season. 830 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: You gotta take care of business in games like this. 831 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 1: Even though Carolina can still win it, it's not gonna 832 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: be easy because the Panthers did find some momentum last 833 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: week and their first win knocking off and upsetting the Texans. 834 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: And you know, like you said, you know, these guys 835 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,839 Speaker 1: are gonna be fired up. They're gonna be playing their 836 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: tails off to get Frank Reich a win against his 837 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: former team after being let go by the Colts about 838 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: this time last year. 839 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, in the end, I always say, in 840 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 2: the end, they're gonna play for Frank. I mean they 841 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 2: you know, you don't have to tell NFL players what 842 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: these type of situations mean, right, Okay, this, this in 843 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 2: a way is their Super Bowl. Okay, now they are 844 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 2: also capable of starting fast. You know, I watched the 845 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 2: Dolphins game really close. I mean they jumped the Dolphins 846 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: really good early, got the lead, but they weren't good 847 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 2: enough to hold on for sixty minutes, you know, like 848 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 2: all teams in the league. And then if you add 849 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 2: a little bit of motivation to them, you know, And 850 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 2: I try to point this out every time we play 851 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 2: somebody where we're a favorite. There's not a team in 852 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 2: the league that does not have enough playmakers to ruin 853 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: your day. I think the quarterback is improving and he 854 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 2: can play in the playground, he can play outside, he 855 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 2: can play outside of the guardrails. Deelan is a beast, 856 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 2: and we have not done a good job. We've been 857 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 2: a king maker against every top receiver that we've played. 858 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, five of them, five of them this year. 859 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 2: Right, that has to change now, I mean philosophically, you 860 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,240 Speaker 2: have to come out of there and say Feeland will 861 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 2: not beat us. Then on defense, I like Luvu, I 862 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 2: like Burns, I like Houston, and I think their corners 863 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 2: can play in advantage. I do, and I'm bringing him 864 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 2: up and his numbers don't show it. But just have 865 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 2: your eye on Black Share. I see him with bigger 866 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 2: role as we go on. Now the important thing, and 867 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 2: you just said it, there is no yesterday, there's no tomorrow. 868 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 2: The Colts must play right now, all right? They have 869 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 2: that again. Carolina will have early juice. We talked about motivation. 870 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 2: They coming off that high of the wind, and we 871 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 2: have to find a much higher level and deflate them 872 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 2: early and often and never let up. And the keyword 873 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 2: there is deflate. Okay, a team like the Panthers will 874 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 2: five been on that end of it. I've been on 875 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 2: the other side of it. They're gonna find an early high. 876 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 2: But you can take it out of them and they 877 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 2: will fold because they just haven't won a lot. If 878 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 2: you get on them and you hit them in the 879 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: mouth and you hit them again and again, all of 880 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,280 Speaker 2: a sudden, that attitude of oh here it goes again, 881 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 2: it creeps in and you know they have an interesting 882 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: crowd down there, no how many games you've done there. 883 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 2: I was in the division when I was in New Orleans. 884 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 2: But they have those great lounge areas and if things 885 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 2: aren't going good, it look like nobody's at the games. 886 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: Their crowd. If you get after them earlier. Their crowd 887 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 2: will I'll go up and drink in the lounge level. 888 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 2: So deflate them, put them back into reality because they 889 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 2: are a subpart team. Like you said, at the end 890 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,439 Speaker 2: of the day, again, it all comes down go in there. 891 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 2: You got to play smart, and you got to play physical, 892 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 2: and every coach and every player just simply has to 893 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 2: do his job. Now at the end of the day, 894 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 2: this can't get away. You've got to persist and get 895 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 2: this game. Absolutely. I don't want to hear any excuses, 896 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 2: no rationals. Go there and take it. 897 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: That's Rick Vin Seri no lounging. On this episode of 898 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: Inside Football here with RV a full breakdown right there 899 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers. The Colts are headed to Charlotte 900 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty fifteen. As you said, 901 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: you saw the Panthers a lot in Charlotte all those 902 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: years with the Saints in the NFC South. You had 903 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: some good battles there over the years, did you not, 904 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 1: What was your record down there? 905 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,439 Speaker 2: We really did always remember that. We yeah, we won. 906 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: We had some big, big games there, no question about that. 907 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 2: The Stevie Smith era and all that. Yep, And it 908 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 2: was I always loved Charlotte. I always thought that Charlotte 909 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 2: was the Indianapolis of the South. It's a really great town. 910 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 2: You know, money in Banking City really is kind of 911 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 2: the I think it's the gem of the South today. 912 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 2: But they do have it's a funny crowd. It's a 913 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 2: beautiful stadium, it really is. But they have those great 914 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 2: lounge and sometimes you look out there and you say, 915 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 2: is there anybody here today? And everybody's watching the game 916 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 2: in the lounge. I'm not gonna lie. 917 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: That's probably where you'd find me if I wasn't working. 918 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 2: It is not a hard place to play. But yeah, again, 919 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 2: the stakes are really high because this is the season 920 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 2: on the brink now for us. I mean, we've got 921 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 2: to change it. 922 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 1: No doubt, trying to get the five hundred before the 923 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: bye week starts this Sunday, Week number nine, it's the 924 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: Colts and the Panthers in Charlotte.
