Is it the Final Four or is it 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: the Masters? Because they always go back to back. I've 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: been to oath what say you, what do you think 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: is a better overall national event? Oh gosh, Matt, I 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: mean now, at fifty four years of age, I'm no 23 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: longer a young kid. I can't sit there and watch 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: three at college basketball games in a row. So give 25 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: me golf all day.

I mean, you know we're gonna have that 29 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: same conversation. But it's a fun weekend. I do like 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: that it goes back to back and Jim Natz usually 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: calling the college basketball final and then taking a puddle 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: jumper over to where the Masters is and calling that. 33 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: But no more, Jim Natz has retired. But we got 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: some football to talk about, Matza, no doubt. Yeah, it 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: was a busy week for the Colts. As you said, 36 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: three weeks away from the draft and then Monday here 37 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: it is the phase one of the offseason workout program 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: starts for the Colts. They got a new head coach, 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: they got players coming in. We'll see where some guys 40 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: are in terms of coming off of injuries, and you know, 41 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: early season storylines or off season storylines on the off 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: fence and what that's gonna look like. So a lot 43 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: to talk about here in this first weekend of April, 44 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: my man, that is correct. We're also going to hear 45 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: from new special teams coordinator Brian Mason from Zionsville, Indiana. 46 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: He makes the jump from college game to the NFL 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: for the first time. An interesting story. I'm sure we're 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: going to see it on NFL Network one day down 49 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: the road. This local, local young man who's now a 50 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: football coach for his professional hometown team. First NFL gig 51 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: happening right here. So I'm telling you what. Shane Steiken 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: has got an electric staff and it's starting early maytey, 53 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: we got to talk some quarterbacks. Let's do it, my man, 54 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: let's do it. Pro days are over in private workout, 55 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: so let's jump into it. Man, where do you want 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: to start here? Well, I just want to start is 57 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: as you've heard across the internet, It's been reported Peter 58 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: King included that the Colts were bouncing around the states 59 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: checking out these quarterbacks in person. I'm talking to the 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: book course about CJ. Stroud, Bryce Young, Will Levis, Anthony Richardson. 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: You know, after their pro days, their official pro days, 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: which we talked on last week. Now the Colts get 63 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: these one on one visits with the quarterbacks, what are 64 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: they finding out in these meetings that they don't already 65 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: know They've had a chance to talk to him at 66 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and at their Pro day. Yeah, I mean, 67 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: I think at this point the Colts, just like most teams, 68 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: I think they have a pretty good idea of who 69 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: these guys are as football players. Now it's just continuing 70 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: to get to know them as people and maybe more importantly, 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: as leaders on the field, because the Colts are still 72 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: doing their due diligence to find the quarterback Jeffrey that 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: best fits them as a team. When it comes to 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the intangibles, right, the Colts would be fine to get 75 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: any of these quarterbacks from an athletic standpoint, and probably 76 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: be okay to win some games in the near future. 77 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: But they want the one that has the most intangibles 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: about him, right, the one that hates to lose, the 79 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: one that is going to lift up his teammates, be 80 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: the biggest leader, hold himself and his teammates accountable. That's 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the kind of obsessiveness, you know, that trait the Colts 82 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: are trying to identify the rest of this month. That quality. 83 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: That's the difference in whether or not the Colts make 84 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: a bold move in the draft for a quarterback and 85 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: move up from four to three. I think they only 86 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: do that there's a guy that just blows them away 87 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: with character in those intangibles. Mattay, do you think realistically 88 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: the Colts at four pick one of the quarterbacks that 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: they worked out this week? And I'm just I'm saying 90 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: that's what all signs are pointing to, obviously, but in 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: recent memory, follow me here, Jalen Hurts, an MVP candidate, 92 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: second rounder, Brock Purty, San Francisco, mister irrelevant, goes on 93 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: a winning streak, gets injured in the playoffs as a 94 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and they're talking about, we'll build this thing 95 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: around brock Purty. I mean, my question is, I mean, 96 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: is it imperative, imperative that we grab a quarterback at 97 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: one of these top four picks, however the cards lay out, 98 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: or do you sit back and finding that quarterback. Look, 99 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: I just said, you know, finding the Brock Purties, finding 100 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts, possibly second rounders, late first round, depending 101 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: on what Chris Ballard does with some potential draft day trades. Yeah, 102 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, because, like you said, that's thrown a 103 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: wrinkle in how teams view quarterbacks of the future in 104 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: the draft, because you're right, everybody's talking about Young and 105 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Stroud and Levis and Richardson rightfully. So they are all 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: they all have the potential to be good to great 107 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. But the question is are they 108 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: all worthy of being taken in the top ten or 109 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: in this case, in the top five. There's never been 110 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: a draft that has seen four quarterbacks taken in the 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: first nine picks, So it begs the question, can the 112 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Colts get good quarterback value somewhere else in the draft 113 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: based on the past history of quarterbacks taken on either 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: Day two or Day three. I mean, Chris Ballard said 115 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: last week at the owners meetings, you can get good 116 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: quarterbacks at different rounds in this draft. And also something 117 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: else to consider, there's been fourteen quarterbacks taken in the 118 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: top ten in the last six drafts. Right, fourteen quarterbacks 119 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: in the top ten since twenty seventeen. Five of those 120 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: guys really haven't done anything. They really haven't lived up 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: to their hype. Right, you got the Mitch Trubiskies and 122 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: the Baker Mayfields and the Sam Darnolds, Josh Rosen, Zach Wilson. 123 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: Then you kind of throw in Trey Lance. He's kind 124 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: of a big unknown because of injuries in San Francisco. 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: But then at the same time you've got home runs 126 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: like Mahomes and Josh Allen and Herbert with the Chargers, 127 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence with the Jaguars, So it's kind of a mixed bag. 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken said, if there was a perfect method to 129 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: picking quarterbacks, everyone would have a really good quarterback. It 130 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't It wouldn't be so hard. So that's the wrinkle 131 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: in all of this. That's the question. We'll find out 132 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the Colts evaluation of these guys in about three weeks 133 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: when they make their pick or decide to grab a 134 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: quarterback at a different round outside of round one. Yeah, 135 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: which brings us into one mattea. The offseason workout programs 136 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: Football Believe it or Not is back. Once these guys 137 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: come back into the facility gathering that locker room, you know, hey, 138 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: it's on man. They're starting to think out the next season, 139 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: and that is what's happening, right Now they're beginning that 140 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: offseason program next week. Under the league's new CBA, Nearly 141 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: all of the offseason program is voluntary, mayte okay, you 142 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: can come as you like. The mandatory Mini Caamp, though 143 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: it runs June thirteenth through fifteenth in Indie, is the 144 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: only mandatory portion of the schedule for the Colts. They're 145 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: also going to have the Rookie Miniicamp one of the 146 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: two weekends immediately following the draft. Now, this offseason program 147 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: starts with Phase one, which is the first two weeks 148 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: of the program limited to just strength and conditioning activities. 149 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks they can throw to receivers, but with no coverage 150 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: on it. Mate, we're getting all these new faces, coaches included. 151 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: They're gathering in the building soon. What are you most 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing from the team as they say hello, 153 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: introduce themselves to one another, and get this thing rolling. Yeah, 154 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's gonna be fun. I mean, 155 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken's first chance to set the culture have he 156 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: should have good attendance based on guys coming back, so 157 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be his first chance to address the 158 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: team and kind of get his points across and install 159 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: his way of doing things, how he's going to conduct meetings, 160 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: how he's going to conduct practices, and just the overall 161 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, operations of this new era of Colts football, 162 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: if you will. And then along with that, just again, 163 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, the early install of the offense, 164 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: what is that going to look like? I mean, Gardner 165 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Minshew's going to be you know, the starter for now. 166 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: But it's going to be interesting to see, you know, 167 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: what the offense looks like in a couple of weeks, 168 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: and the tweaks that might occur when a quarterback and 169 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: the draft is chosen, and then down the road to 170 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: the Colts try to tailor the offense to the rookie quarterback. 171 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 1: How many first team repses does the rookie get in 172 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: the spring going into training camp. That's a storyline. And 173 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: then another big storyline. I think we talked about this 174 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: this week on our podcast, Jeffrey, Where is Shack Leonard? 175 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: Where is he at healthwise? Coming off two surgeries in 176 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: six months to repair the back, to repair the lower body. 177 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: He's only played at seventy four snaps last season. He 178 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: missed all of the OTA's last year, missed all of 179 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: the training camp period last year, so just hasn't played 180 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: a lot of football since January of twenty twenty two 181 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: at the end of the two and twenty one season. 182 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: And then lastly, this is just big picture. Take full 183 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: of advantage of your time together in the spring. You 184 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: got a new head coach, a lot of new coaches 185 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: on offense, a new offense in terms of scheme, possibly 186 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: a new rookie quarterback. He got to build timing, gotta 187 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: build chemistry and cohesion. You only get ten OTAs later 188 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: this spring on top of the Mani camp. So give yourself, Jeffrey, 189 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: a really big springboard going into training camp. Take this 190 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: very seriously, be efficient with it, and utilize the next 191 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: nine weeks as best you can so that you're not 192 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: starting from scratch there at training camp. All NFL eyes 193 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: are on this program. I love it. I'm gonna find 194 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: out what the heck we're doing at the quarterback position. 195 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: But back again to Gardner Minshew, very happy that he 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: is in the mix. Veteran leadership. Had a nice interact 197 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: with him the other day in the cafeteria. I like 198 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: the young man made day. He's he's not hard to miss, 199 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: he's he's he's a bubbly guy, always has a smile 200 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: on his face, great attitude, and that's that's half the battle, 201 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: man is just being able to have your teammates gravitate 202 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: towards you and being that leader inside the huddle, being 203 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: that leader inside the locker room. He seems to have that, 204 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: and you know, we'll see you know what his role 205 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: is going forward. You know, as we're three weeks away 206 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: from the draft, literally bumped into him at the salad 207 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: bar and welcome him and introduced myself seriously, and we 208 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: talked about yes, this get this. We talked about Mike Leach. Yeah, 209 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: and we talked about what that, what that college coach 210 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: meant to the likes of his players and in this case, 211 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew that played for him at Washington State. So 212 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: a great meet up with the new quarterback and Moore 213 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: is going to be revealed.

Yeah, well what was the rest of 281 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: that car rival, Well, for the rest of that car 282 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: right to actually have a two and a half year 283 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: old and five month old that were sleeping the back seat, 284 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: So we weren't exactly screaming celebration yet. We were letting 285 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: them sleep it out until we got to Columbus. But then, 286 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, we were really able to celebrate once we 287 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: got in Columbus and talk with family about it before 288 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: we made a final decision. But it was just an 289 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: opportunity that was too good to pass up and was 290 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: really excited to the you know, obviously be able to 291 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: move down here to Indianapolis. Yeah, you've coached at some 292 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: major college programs, by the way, Brian Mason is with 293 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: a special teams coordinator now for the Indianapolis Colts. You've 294 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: been at Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Purdue, Ohio State. How have 295 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: all of those experiences at major college football programs helped 296 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: you grow, And what's your confidence level that you can 297 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: make this jump to the NFL and put the work 298 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: that you've put into this point, you know for good 299 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: use for the colts. Now. Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway, 300 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, being able to work with a lot of 301 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: other really good coaches. I've been a part of some 302 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: really other, some really talented and good coaching staffs, and 303 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: being able to take away a lot of really good information, 304 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: learn and grow from learning from some other really good 305 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: experience coaches along the way, had a lot of other 306 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: really good programs, and every single step of the way 307 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: kind of been able to enhance and adjust and adapt 308 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: some of my coaching philosophies, coaching techniques, coaching methods, schematic 309 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: adjustments and things we've been able to do from learning 310 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: from some really good coaching staffs, that really good programs 311 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: that have kind of prepared me along the way. And 312 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: I know you've only been on the job a handful 313 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: of days, maybe a handful of weeks here, but for 314 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: you so far, what are some of the subtle differences 315 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: from the college game to the NFL game as it 316 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: pertains to special teams and things that you've already have 317 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: had to study up on. There's a lot of similarities. Obviously, 318 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: we're all going to be all about, you know, fundamental development, 319 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: and the game of football is the same. Those fundamentals 320 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: that we're teaching and developing are the same. The biggest 321 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: difference is the rule structure, schematics of the punt game. 322 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's the biggest area that I've been focusing 323 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: on over the last week and studying and learning and 324 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: adjusting to the punt scheme of the NFL, and that's 325 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: the number one adjustment that I think I have to 326 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: make again. That's Brian Mason, special teams coordinator for the 327 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, And as you take over this job with 328 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: the Colts on special teams, you're also working now with 329 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Matt Gay, who the Colts signed in free agency. One 330 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: of the best kickers in the NFL over the last 331 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: three years, won a Super Bowl with the Rams, really 332 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: really consistent, really really accurate. What's your excitement level to 333 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: work with him and spearhead one of those units in 334 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: the third phase of the game. We're really excited, you know, 335 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: obviously being able to get a dependable, proven kicker like 336 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: Matt Gay, who's done it at the highest level, performed 337 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: under pressure the last two years, has been over ninety 338 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: percent making field goals, including in a run to the 339 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, we're just really excited to be 340 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: able to bring him into our specialist room and our 341 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: special teams units and be able to lean on him 342 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: in some really big moments. Yeah, speaking of those big moments, 343 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,119 Speaker 1: he's twelve or fourteen on field goals in the playoffs. 344 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: He's made all fifteen of his postseason pats, and he's 345 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty two the fourth quarter in his career, 346 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: never missed a pat in the fourth quarter, Just those 347 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: big moments. How do you see that skill and just 348 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: that that demeanor transferring now here in Indianapolis. Yeah, obviously 349 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: he's been able to already do it at the highest level. 350 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: It's going to directly transfer. Um. He already knows and 351 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: has been on obviously the roster here with the Colts, 352 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: So he's got really a lot of familiarity with our building, 353 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: with the facility, some of the players that are here, 354 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: obviously Chris Ballard. A lot of that stuff is going 355 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: to allow him to really make the transition smooth and 356 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: hit the ground running. And you know, being able to 357 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: do at the highest level for the Rams is certainly 358 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: going to translate over as he comes to the Colts, 359 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: and we're really excited for it as you kind of 360 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: assess the rest of this roster. The ability for him 361 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: to handle kickoffs as well, whether that's him, whether it's 362 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: Rigo Sanchez, you have a couple options there. Just how 363 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: important is that that he has that in his belt too. 364 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: It's awesome. You know, his kickoffs have been really really 365 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: good over the last three years. Having that versatility is 366 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: always important. As much versatility as we can have with 367 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: our kickers and punters, the better, so they can be 368 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: able to play off of each other and be able to, 369 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, pick each other up a lot of different 370 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: situations depending on injuries and all those kinds of things. 371 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: Something that stood out to me, Brian, when I was 372 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: looking at what you did at Notre Dame last year's 373 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of starters and like NFL caliber 374 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: players to play for you on special teams. Isaiah Fosky 375 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: in particular, what did you learn at Notre Dame about 376 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: how to get guys to play not just play on 377 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: special teams, but to play hard on special teams. That 378 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: was really something that I first was able to learn 379 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: and kind of gain when I was at Ohio State. 380 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of really other top programs in college 381 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: football that do the same thing, between Alabama and Georgia 382 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: where they get kind of their best players bought in 383 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: to be able to provide value on special teams, and 384 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: it's really being able to get guys, hey, here's how 385 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: we're going to impact the game. We're gonna impact fuel position, 386 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: exposi plays. It's going to help us win games, help 387 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: guys get to buy in to win those games, and 388 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: then be able to take it to another level. Here's 389 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: how we're going to develop you as a football player. 390 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: That's going to help take you to your dreams and 391 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: goals through your work and fundamental development in special teams. 392 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: That's going to help them take them as a football 393 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: player to the next level. There's a lot of different 394 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: ways we kind motivate guys to keep them, you know, 395 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: having fun and engage in all those different ways, but 396 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: really showing them the impact that we can have on 397 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: their fundamental development and the impact we can have on 398 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: a game really goes a long way. Especially then you 399 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: know you get a little momentum, you get a little success, 400 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: guys buy in even more. Yeah, I mean the momentum 401 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: and success. It wasn't a little, it was a lot. 402 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: Five straight games of the block punt was at eight 403 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: block punts overall. I read that you change the name 404 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: of the punt return team to the punt block team 405 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: to kind of emphasize the importance of affecting punters. Not 406 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: just necessarily we need to create yardageohn returns. We can 407 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: create yardage by affecting the punter. How did that process 408 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: go of just getting on that role and getting guys 409 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: to really affect the punter last year at Notre Dame. Yeah, 410 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: it's really a philosophy that's kind of adapted over time. 411 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: Like four years ago, we were looking at kind of 412 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: the analytics of the punt return game. We were having 413 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: a lot more success when we are a little bit 414 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: more aggressive at affecting the punter. That had a higher 415 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: probability of the punter shanking, the punter having worse hanging time, 416 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: which led us to get more return yards. So kind 417 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: of over the last four years we've kind of become 418 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive with our mentality on pump block. 419 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: That's not to say, hey, our goal is to block 420 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: every punt. Some of those big explosive opportunities are coming. 421 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: We're looking to finish and make the play, but we're 422 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: really just looking to change fuel position anyway we can. 423 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: Having an aggressive mentality on the pump block team or 424 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: the field goal block team to affect the punter or 425 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: a kicker, which a lot of other people maybe aren't 426 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: as aggressive, can provide us some advantages and being able 427 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: to flip the field and fuel position in one of 428 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: the biggest plays in the game, the punt punp block 429 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: battle that really affects a lot of fuel position. That's 430 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: Brian Mason, special teams coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts. How 431 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: much do you know about the roster right now? I 432 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: know it's it's right around free agency as we're sitting 433 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: here talking now. We haven't had the draft yet. But 434 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: how much do you have to know the strengths and 435 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: the talent base of the roster as you get closer 436 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: to the offseason workout program to know what you can 437 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: do in the clay that you can mold with the 438 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: guys on special teams as you get closer to the 439 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: regular season. Yeah, absolutely, you know knowing the roster and 440 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: you know the pieces that you have and the different 441 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: ways you can use them on the depth chart to 442 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: be successful is really key to being successful on special teams. 443 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: So over the last week, you know, I've really been 444 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: doing a deep dive, you know, kind of written up 445 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: reports on every single player that we have had on 446 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: the roster last year, kind of watched different cutups of 447 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: what every single guy did on each different phase. They 448 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: kind of be able to learn what their skill set is, 449 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: what they've done in the past, you know, finding ways 450 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: that we can improve or how to use them moving 451 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: forward in the future. Certainly, by no means do I 452 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: have that mastered in the last week, and they'll continue 453 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: into you know, kind of understand who the guys we 454 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: have and the ways they've been using the past is 455 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: very key. And we were just talking off the air 456 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: here before we started the interview. You and I actually 457 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: played against one another in high school. Your Zionsville guy. 458 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: I think we met in the regionals in two thousand 459 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: and three, Ron Colley versus Zionsville. You are running back 460 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: on that team. Did you have aspirations back then, Like, 461 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: did you know back then you are a good player? 462 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: You went on to play at Dennison, another Division three school. 463 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: But did you know back then you wanted to get 464 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: into coaching. I don't know that I knew I wanted 465 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: to get into coaching. You know, I knew I really 466 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: wanted to maybe have a career in sports. I really 467 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: loved football, I did really love coaching and had you know, 468 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: a really big impact on my life was Larry McCarter, 469 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: who was the head coach at Hinesville and kind of 470 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: pushed me into, hey, I'm going to play Division three football. 471 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: I had a lot of injury issues, so I actually 472 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: tore my ACL twice in high school and then twice 473 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: in college, which then led me to becoming a student coach. 474 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: And that how that experience really pushed me into, hey, 475 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: I love coaching. I'm going to get into this more 476 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: full time. When you're you're kind of going through you're 477 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: grinding as a D line coach at Dennison, you're graduate 478 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: assistant at you know, Kent State, Perdue, Ohio State. You know, 479 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: you're kind of working your way up. I know you 480 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: got asked me press conference, like have you ever have 481 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: envisioned this opportunity in the NFL? But did you just 482 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: feel like you're making progress as a coach, You're growing 483 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: as a coach. And when did it sort of become real, 484 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: like this is my career, this is what I want 485 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: to do the rest of my career. I think I 486 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: knew right away, like, hey, I'm gonna I really want 487 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: to grind this out and this is what I want 488 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: to do the rest of my life.
