Speaker 1: I just go back in roll under that rock. But

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: that's just it. I mean, I've never seen anybody take

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: over the world faster than Taylor Swift. What is your

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: favorite Taylor Swift song?

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: By the way, to be honest with you, I don't

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: know any of them. Really really, I'm not telling this casey.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: They have changed Major League Baseball teams change start times

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: to games to accommodate Taylor swift concerts. Really. Yeah, Like

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds bumped up the start time to a

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: game on a Friday night to like five ten like that,

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: the Pivotal Marquee five to ten games start time. That's

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: just perfect for everybody because she was a concert at

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: eight o'clock later that night. How about that? Yeah, I

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: know the Saint Louis Maybe the one other team did that.

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but.

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean the Swifties and all.

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, like we are never getting

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: back together at Aacy Bell yet. Yeah, I mean there's

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: no one there.

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: Shake it off, Okay, yeah, shake it off.

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: I know that one.

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 6: I have a little bit of cun Tree music pass.

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 6: They used to work in country radio, so there.

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Are a handful, So I understand it.

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: All right, we are we are not going to talk

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: about that in the rest of the show. We are

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: talking and previewing the Colts and the Tennessee Titans coming

49
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: up on Sunday. Boys, this is a monster game for

50
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts coming back inside the AFC South, the

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: third divisional test in the first five games for the Colts. Meanwhile,

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: for Tennessee this is their first division game. Explain that

53
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: to me, NFL. I know every team is dealing with

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: schedule inequities, but explain that to me, just like the

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: case last year for the colt.

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: That's what I was about to say.

57
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 6: I it seems like this is becoming a trend for

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 6: the Colts is let's get a bunch of them out

59
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: of the way early and not one to play.

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: You know that woe is us.

61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 6: But it's almost like it takes you a little while

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 6: to kind of get into a rhythm and improove, and

63
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 6: it just kind of throws you out of sync when

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 6: you get them all out there early.

65
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: But here's a really good test for the Colts.

66
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: You have to deal with it because that's what the

67
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: reffel says. You have to play. Schedule is what it is.

68
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: So my thing is, though I would like to see

69
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: it spread out at least a little bit more over

70
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: the whole season.

71
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: That's what Tennessee is saying to themselves right now after

72
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure some things out, right right, Who are

73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. We're talking Sunday storylines going into this game.

74
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: Number five, that's a huge one. Who are the Tennessee Titans?

75
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Will the will the real Titans? Please stand up? Because

76
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I know that you, Taylor Swift,

77
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: you got it all right. Here we go the Titans.

78
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: They beat the Bengals twenty seven to three last week,

79
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: maybe the best performance under Mike Vrabel since he's been

80
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: there in terms of just total domination yards, not giving

81
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: any anything to the opponent, in terms of breathing life

82
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati last week. The week before that, though, they

83
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: were drubbed by the exact same score, twenty seven to

84
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: three to the Cleveland Browns. So they're two at home,

85
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Billy two and zero at home, I should say oher

86
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: to two on the road. They have not yet scored

87
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown on the road in their two losses. And

88
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: they're two wins averaging twenty seven points per game and

89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: two losses putting up only nine points per game. You

90
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: can go on and on here, just that the Splits

91
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: are just remarkable in terms of when they're good, they're good.

92
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: When they're bad, they look really really bad. Billy You've

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: been on some teams that have had a hard time

94
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: kind of finding their identity early in the season Tennessee had.

95
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: Did they find their identity last week? And what do

96
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: you make of the Titans going into this game game

97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: number five?

98
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been up and down.

99
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 4: As you said, you chronicled it very well that on

100
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: the road they haven't been playing well. But at home

101
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: they play pretty good. You know, they run the ball

102
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: seem like a little bit better when they're at home.

103
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I think they averaging abut one hundred fty seven yards

104
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: at home when they rushing the ball. And I think

105
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: that's the Tennessee Titans that I'm expecting to see. The

106
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans that can run the ball. That's what they

107
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: want to do. They want to play physical. They want

108
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: to beat you up and kind of control the clock.

109
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: And if they can control the clock and of course

110
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: get ahead of you, kind of put pressure on you

111
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: to try to hurry up and get back and then

112
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: make mistakes.

113
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody knows who the Titans are. It's

114
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 6: really you talk about Jekyll and Hyde, and that is

115
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 6: what we have seen. And it's rather bizarre, truly.

116
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: The only concerning thing is that I think they may

117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: have found them.

118
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: No, that's a good point, I think last week.

119
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 6: But you say that coming off of a game the

120
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: week prior where it looked like, wow, this might be

121
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 6: the end of an era of a Titans team that

122
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 6: we had seen for so long be so consistent and

123
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: always in the games. Two weeks ago, we didn't say

124
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 6: that about the Titans. Then last week he got back

125
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 6: to it. So it's one of those things where the

126
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 6: performance you saw last week, if they can continue rolling

127
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: that way, then you get back to Okay, this is

128
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 6: a typical Mike Vrabel Titans team, But right now the

129
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 6: inconsistency makes it so hard to really pinpoint on who

130
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: this Titans team is.

131
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really encourage everybody. I mean, on a

132
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: weekly basis, there's no doubt, but especially this week. If

133
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: you have a chance and you love football, you love

134
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: x's and o's, and you want to figure out why

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: one team is playing well or why one team dominated

136
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: the other, I encourage you really listen to Inside Football

137
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: with Rick Van Turrey this week. I mean we had

138
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: about a forty eight minute discussion all the Tennessee Titans,

139
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: the blueprints for the Colts, to be Tennessee. But to

140
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: steal a line from him, and he's so right about this.

141
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: It's all about advantage for Tennessee. When they are in advantage,

142
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: and what I mean by that is when they get

143
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: off to a fast start, when they can dictate the

144
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: physicality of the game to another team, when they can

145
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: stay on schedule in terms of down and distance, when

146
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: they can establish the running game with Derrick Henry, right

147
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: when they can afford to give him twenty twenty five

148
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: carries per game and you'll let him run downhill. That's

149
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: when the Tennessee Titans, that's when they're at their best.

150
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: And that was on full display last Sunday against Tennessee.

151
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: They just dominated that game.

152
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, they love to run the ball.

153
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: That's what they want to do that they have Derrick Henry,

154
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: you know, one of the best backs in the National

155
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: Football League, So they're going to continue to run the ball.

156
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: And if they get him going and he can get

157
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: his show just going north and south, he's very tough

158
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: to bring down. So that's what they want to do.

159
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: I want to establish the run and play physical. They

160
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: want to play physical football and that's who they are.

161
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: And they want to put Ryan Tannehill in good situations.

162
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from his ability to potentially,

163
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, lead a comeback or throw the ball forty

164
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: times per game, but they honestly go as he goes.

165
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: And I mean that as a compliment when again, when

166
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: they can dictate things and play from advantage, Ryan Tannehill

167
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: is a really good quarterback because he makes really good decisions.

168
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: He's very accurate. I mean, so far this year, his splits,

169
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: just like the rest of the team wins versus losses

170
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: are crazy and two losses forty nine percent completion percentage

171
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: and two wins seventy seven point six. All right, So

172
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's a really good quarterback, but he's

173
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback when things are going well and

174
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: when he doesn't have to shoulder a lot of that

175
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: responsibility because of their identity in terms of who they

176
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: have been since twenty nineteen, running the ball, being really

177
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: good on play action, being really good in the red zone,

178
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: and letting the run game open up the pass. For

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans.

180
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: That's such a good point because that is that's the

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 6: way reason that that's why I know, that's why I

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: said it, but I mean, that is Ryan Tannehill in

183
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 6: a nutshell such if you look at at the way

184
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 6: that he has been the quarterback for the Titans and

185
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: why the success is there, it's because when Ryan Tannehill

186
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 6: is not asked to do too much. That is when

187
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 6: you see the Titans playing to the top of their ability. Now,

188
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: Ryan Tannehill, everybody has it seems like everybody has their

189
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 6: opinions of Ryan Tannehill and no one's going to put

190
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 6: him in there as like a top ten quarterback. But

191
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 6: when the Titans are rolling, you cannot discredit how good

192
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 6: of a quarterback Ryan Tannehill is. You know about Derrick Henry,

193
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 6: they add DeAndre Hopkins. Those guys are just dynamic weapons. Defensively,

194
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 6: this Titans team, they are elked. They have guys all

195
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 6: over the defensive backfield. That is very, very difficult. But

196
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 6: when Ryan Tanner he'll can just kind of stay within

197
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 6: the lane. That's where you get really it makes things

198
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 6: difficult because you mentioned play action, you mentioned red zone.

199
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: He's so good in those instances, so you can it

200
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: makes it difficult.

201
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: Throw the ball between the numbers. He doesn't have to

202
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: push the ball outside, push the ball down the field

203
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: and with wise outside the numbers because of that running

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: game opening up the pass, and he's a really good,

205
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: deceptive running quarterback as well. He can scramble out of

206
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the pocket. Now he's not looking to create his own

207
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: but he is very, very good at scrambling and just

208
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: getting those back breaking first down conversions by being a

209
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: good athlete and a rushing quarterback. All right, let's stay

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: in house a Sunday storyline for this game for the

211
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Colts going into it. Jonathan Taylor. All right, Jonathan Taylor,

212
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: as we sit here and talk right now, we're taping

213
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: this on Thursday morning. Jonathan Taylor is scheduled to meet

214
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: with the media later on today on this Thursday, So

215
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: obviously we're not going to have any reactions to his comments.

216
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Really speaking for the first time since when mays yeah yeah,

217
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: during yeah, during OTAs and many camps. So he is

218
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: back on the practice field this week. That has opened

219
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: up the twenty one day window for he and the

220
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Colts coming off of pup. There is a chance, all right,

221
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: there is a chance that he plays on Sunday against

222
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. And if he does play, we don't

223
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: know what that's going to look like in terms of

224
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: pitch count or workload or things like that as he

225
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: gets back into you know, gets up to speed with

226
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson in this offense with Shane Steiken. But

227
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: we do know, right in the last time he was

228
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: fully healthy in twenty twenty one rushing champ in the

229
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: NFL broke a franchise record eighteen hundred yards all those touchdowns. Bill,

230
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Let's keep it simple when he does come back on

231
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the field, and again we don't know if that's going

232
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: to be this Sunday or not. When he does get

233
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: back on the field, what is the ceiling for this

234
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: backfield with he and Anthony Richardson.

235
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: I think the ceiling is very high with with this

236
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: two back there of JT and Anthony Richardson being back

237
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 4: there and also you know, having Zach Moss to come

238
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: in for relief at time. So I think it's very

239
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: high because the defense is going to have to say, hey, look,

240
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: who do we want to stop. Do we want to

241
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: stop JT between the tackles so to speak, or do

242
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: you want to stop Anthony Richardson running out wide? To me,

243
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 4: I think that's a good thing for the COLT. So

244
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: that's two weapons that they have that the defense has

245
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: to make sure they account for. And if they can't

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 4: account for those guys, we'll run the ball very successfully.

247
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 4: But then also there's the passing game. You know, these

248
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: guys are going to say, Okay, we're going to bring

249
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: somebody down to the box. We're gonna have eight people

250
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: in the box and stop the run. That's going to

251
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: open up for the passing game. So having JT back,

252
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: don't know how he's going to be when he first

253
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: gets back because he's not in football shape. I don't

254
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: think he's in football shape. He's probably in great shape

255
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 4: just running and conditioning, but not football shape. So I

256
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: might take a little while for him to get up

257
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: to speed. But once I think he gets up to speed,

258
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 4: I think it's going.

259
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: To be very very powerful. It could be a very

260
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: very powerful offense.

261
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 6: I mean, this is one of the things we talked

262
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 6: about when the Anthony Richardson was drafted, is Wow, you

263
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 6: look at the two guys in the backfield and what

264
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 6: that will do for opposing defenses. So now seeing that,

265
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 6: you know, get that start to come to fruition, it's

266
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 6: going to be something exciting to watch because ultimately both

267
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 6: these guys are game breakers.

268
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Both these guys have.

269
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: The ability to change the game on one touch of

270
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 6: the football.

271
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: So the ceiling, that's your ceiling. I mean you have.

272
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 6: What it does is it adds not only a playmaker.

273
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 6: I mean you're adding a guy who can break the

274
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: game wide open anytime he touches the football. So it's

275
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 6: going to it's going to be very interesting to see

276
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: how defenses start to play the Colts offense because it's

277
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 6: going to look a lot different from what we've seen

278
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 6: the first four weeks.

279
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm just so excited about the big

280
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: play ability and potential from both of those guys. I mean,

281
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: some of these numbers on Jonathan Taylor are coming back.

282
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at his runs over ten

283
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: yards for his career, seventeen point nine percent of his

284
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: overall career carries are going over ten yards, all right,

285
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: that's insane. And then you look at what Anthony Richardson

286
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: has been able to produce so far in terms of

287
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: his big playability. Or He's got eight passes over twenty

288
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: on the season and four runs over twelve, so twelve

289
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: point six percent of his touches, if you will, are

290
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: big plays. So I'm just really excited for what are

291
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Are you gonna crowd the box? Now,

292
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: that's more opportunities, right to push the ball down the

293
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: field outside the numbers, which the Colts proved they could

294
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: do last week they had three completions over thirty. So

295
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: it's good that that component of the offense showed up

296
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: in the second half against the Rams. But if you're

297
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna just play the Colts straight up and you're gonna

298
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: respect the pass and the run and you don't have

299
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: eight nine guys in the box, good luck Tonton Taylor

300
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: and Anthony Richardson.

301
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, one way, and this is very basic. But it's

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 6: gonna keep the defenses honest, and that's that is the key.

303
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 6: I mean, we have seen what Shane Steichen and this

304
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 6: offense can do. I mean clearly to this point, he

305
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: has done some things that I don't think a lot

306
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 6: of people thought this offense was capable of doing. So

307
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 6: you add another wrinkle and you make defenses play a

308
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: little bit more of the natural way.

309
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: I kind of like what this is going to look like.

310
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: When you can dictate to the defense the way that

311
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: you want them to play, you have them in your

312
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: problem of your hand. You can do what you want

313
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: and you can set the plays that you want and say, hey, look,

314
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: we're going to set this play up so when we

315
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: get down here in the plus plus area, we're going

316
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: to score a touchdown with this play because I know

317
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: this is the way they're going to play against us.

318
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: And speaking of big plays, Moiley Cox had a really

319
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: big play for a touchdown, a thirty five yard catch,

320
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: his first touchdown in twenty twenty three. Big Moe is

321
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: going to join us here in the podcast in just

322
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Before we do that, though, I quickly

323
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: want to go into another Sunday storyline. How about the

324
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: passing game or the passing defense for the Colts. The

325
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Colts are giving up seven point six yards per attempt.

326
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: They ranked twenty eighth in the NFL and passing yards allowed.

327
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: So far in the season, They've given up three really

328
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: big games to opposing wide receivers, right the Nico Collins,

329
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the Calvin Ridley game, and then Pukinakua just went off

330
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: on the Colts. And it wasn't just their overall number

331
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: of yards, it was the timely catches. It was the

332
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: overtime catch for twenty plus to set up the Rams

333
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: on that drive in overtime. And then obviously, you know

334
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: the Colts got all out of sorts in the secondary,

335
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: losing track of where the top receiver was for the

336
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Rams on that twenty two yard catch for a touchdown

337
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: in overtime. But Bill, the Colts have allowed one hundred

338
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: and ninety five receiving yards per game to opposing wide

339
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: receivers on the season. And another storyline is that you

340
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: know you've got Dallas Flowers now down right, Yes, your

341
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: top one of your top cornerbacks is out for the

342
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: season a torn achilles. So it's either going to be

343
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Darryl Baker Junior back into the lineup after being inactive

344
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: in each of the last two games, or it's Jayalen

345
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: Jones making his NFL debut in terms of being a

346
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: starting cornerback and a really big game for the Colts

347
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: inside the division coming up on Sunday. Where are you

348
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: on the passing defense so far going into this game

349
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: when they're gonna have to stop the run and the pass.

350
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: We just chronicled it with Ryan Tannehill.

351
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know Ryan Tannehill, if you mentioned earlier, is

352
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: good in play action pass and if they get the

353
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: running game going, the play action pass. So for us

354
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: for the secondary, it's going to be very important for

355
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: the secondary to play a little tired if they can,

356
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: because DeAndre Hopkins is very good. So when they can

357
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: get the ball down the field to Westbrook, Aakini is

358
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 4: very good. He's been playing very well. So it's going

359
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: to be imparative of the cops to stay close to

360
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: those guys because you don't want to give those big

361
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: explosive plays against the Tennessee Titans. That's what they're trying

362
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: to get. They're trying to lower your sleep with the run, run, run, run,

363
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: beat you up, then go.

364
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: Over the top.

365
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: So I think it's something that they're gonna have to

366
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: tighten up their coverage definitely and do something a little

367
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: bit different and hopefully they can maybe make him one dimensional.

368
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: Then that way you make Tannehill one dimensional, and that

369
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: way you can, hey, maybe say your defense and say, hey,

370
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: we know they're going to pass. We're going to put

371
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: them in third and long if you can to be

372
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: successful on first and second down, and that might play

373
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: into your hands as far as defensive concern for the

374
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: Indianapoliskold but Casey.

375
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: This could be the third consecutive week the Colts have

376
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: a rookie making his first start in the NFL. Two

377
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago Juju Brintz yep, last week Blake Friedland and

378
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: now potentially Jayalen Jones. Yeah.

379
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 6: I mean, and you go even further than that. I mean,

380
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 6: I know he wasn't a rookie, but Darryl Baker Junior

381
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 6: started Week one.

382
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: That was his debut.

383
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 6: I know, he was a practice squad guy the entire

384
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 6: you know, twenty twenty two campaigns, So that was young.

385
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: So if you look at it, I mean almost every

386
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 6: week they've kind of had somebody making their debut. And

387
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 6: I know this is kind of a cop out answer,

388
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 6: but this is why. Up front, it is so imperative

389
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: to kind of own the line of scrimmage for the

390
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 6: defensive front because, as Bill mentioned, getting them behind this

391
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 6: behind the chains, making it third and long, it will

392
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 6: help out that young secondary.

393
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: But in the pass rush too, yes, without without quittingly,

394
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: we got Quitty Pay.

395
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Dio had a great game last week.

396
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: We saw it. We saw you very very well.

397
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 6: But I mean Quitty Pay was for the I mean

398
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 6: he was there the entire so it is going to

399
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 6: be you know, a lot of next man up mentality,

400
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 6: And this is one of the things we talked about

401
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 6: going into the season. Very young secondary gets tested definitely,

402
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 6: for sure on Sunday, I'll be anxious to kind of

403
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: see how it looks. I do like the fact that

404
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: you know, with Juju and Darryl, if those a couple

405
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 6: guys that are taking a lot of snaps, we do

406
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 6: at least have them some starting reps that it's not

407
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: just a handful of guys in by fire right now.

408
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 6: But definitely, I mean, Jalen Jones is going to be

409
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: caught upon. It's for sure going to be called upon.

410
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 6: So I have to play. Some guys got to step up,

411
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 6: for sure. And he had a really good camp. He

412
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 6: had a really good preseason both on defense, earning the

413
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 6: trust of Ron Milis Yep and Gus Bradley, and playing

414
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 6: so well. As a seventh round draft pick, you know,

415
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 6: he's kind of in the mix of all of those

416
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 6: cornerbacks the Colts drafted back in April, the three of them,

417
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 6: but he played so well that they couldn't not give

418
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 6: him a roster spot over Darius Rush, who they drafted

419
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 6: in the fifth round and ended up, you know, cutting

420
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 6: after the end of the preseason there, so you know,

421
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 6: he earned his keep and now he gets major opportunity

422
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 6: to at least be a big time contributor and probably

423
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 6: start for the Colts coming up on Sunday. We'll keep

424
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 6: an eye on that. Our last Sunday storyline. Before we

425
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 6: talked to Moeli Cox, we talked about it slowing down

426
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry. All right, Since twenty eighteen, the Colts defense

427
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 6: has allowed a one hundred yard rusher nine times, which

428
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 6: is really good, right, That's the third fewest.

429
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Over that timeframe. But Derrick Henry has accounted for six

430
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: of those games.

431
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

432
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Henry has seven career one hundred yard rushing games against

433
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: the Colts, which is the most by any player against

434
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: any opponent. Since he entered the NFL in shooty sixteen.

435
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: He's been over one hundred yards and six of the

436
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: last seven games against the Indianapolis Colts. Now, I will

437
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: give the Colts credit. Anytime a running back like Derrick

438
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Henry is gonna get twenty twenty five carries per game,

439
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: the cumulative effect takes over all, right, so you can

440
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: live with, you know, twenty five carries for a buck

441
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: fifteen as long as that yards per carry is around. Yeah,

442
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: no huge explosive rights, right exactly twenty five yard games

443
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: or the sixty yard dagger in the fourth quarter, that

444
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: really sinks you. But that being said, the Colts last

445
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: week Bill, they played most of that game without the

446
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: Forest Buckner. He was on a pitch count with that

447
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: groin injury. Now he's back on the injury report this

448
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: week with the back. As we sit here and tape

449
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: this right now. On Wednesday, he did not practice because

450
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: the Colt held they walk through. They did not practice

451
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: on Wednesday because they're trying to save some legs and

452
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: stay fresh after back to back weeks playing in overtime.

453
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: But that was concerning because the last two games, the

454
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: Colts defense has given up on average one hundred and

455
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: seventy five rushing yards to the Ravens and the Rams,

456
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams really not known for their rushing A melody.

457
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: How worried are you guys about this game? With the

458
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Colts ability to slow down the rush with the rusher

459
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: coming to town.

460
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 6: It's kind of twofold in my eyes, because I think

461
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: it's one of those things you kind of laid it

462
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: out well, with Derrick Henry, he's gonna get a handful

463
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: of carries, you know what's going to happen. And there

464
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 6: I remember, there are a handful of times you look

465
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 6: at the Colts box score at the end and it's

466
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry twenty eight carries for a one hundred and

467
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 6: ten yards and his yards per carry maybe three point five,

468
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 6: and you're like.

469
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: That's what you want.

470
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: So I think, ultimately I'm not as much worried in

471
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 6: that sense of the yardage. I mainly I am all

472
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: about making sure the guys are run disciplined, you know,

473
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 6: making sure that you're taking good angles, you're not allowing him.

474
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: To you know.

475
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 6: I feel like the last I think it was last year,

476
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 6: there were two runs where he broke out and both

477
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 6: times it was based on just bad angles that a

478
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: defensive back took and it allowed him to get to

479
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 6: the edge. So I think, just making sure you're run

480
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 6: discipline on Derrick Henry, keep him in front of him,

481
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: make sure you're tackling him with all I mean, all

482
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 6: the fundamentals of tackling, because he breaks them. I mean,

483
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 6: this guy, he looks like a defensive end and he's

484
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 6: running the football. So it's he breaks the mold of

485
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 6: what you can do as far as arm tackling. You

486
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 6: have to be disciplined in all of the fundamentals, and

487
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 6: that is so key against Derrick Henry.

488
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

489
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 6: I just have a feeling that this team the last

490
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 6: two weeks has heard all the noise about we pride

491
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 6: ourselves on stopping the run, and they haven't done it.

492
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 6: They look up to a game like this, We're okay,

493
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 6: Dererick Henry, we have seen what you can do.

494
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep you in. And I think it's I

495
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: like the Colts in this game as far as the

496
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: run defense goes well, I.

497
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 4: Think the Coast defenses want the challenge because the Coasts

498
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 4: want to play physical football themselves from the defensive standpoint,

499
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 4: and then Tansey's going to bring that from an offensive

500
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 4: standpoint with Devik Henry run the boss. So I think

501
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 4: they are they want the challenge, and then of course

502
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: I think they're up to the challenge, but they're gonna

503
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: have to be disciplined.

504
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: As you said, Casey, I think they have to be disciplined.

505
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 4: Don't let this guy get up the field, don't let

506
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: let him be one on one with somebody gang tackle him.

507
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: You have to gang tackle him. Everyone has to run

508
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: to the ball and make sure they get to him

509
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: so they can tackle and bring him down. One person

510
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 4: is not going to bring him down. He's too big

511
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: of a running back, too powerful for a running back

512
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: to have one person bring down. Yes, someone can, one

513
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: person can bring him down, but for the most part,

514
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 4: you need to gang tackle this man. And if you

515
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: could do that and keep them, as we said earlier,

516
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: third and long, make them, you know, go the long

517
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 4: way to get a first down. I think that will

518
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: help the coach. But I am concerned anytime you have

519
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 4: hand me back there running the ball.

520
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: He had concern.

521
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: Sure, it's for every other team in the National Football League.

522
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: This is just an identity game, you know. The Tennessee

523
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Titans have an identity. They've got a brand of football.

524
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: We just talked about it. Playing from advantage, being good

525
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: on first and second down, being good in the red zone,

526
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: play action, passing, running the ball. It's all about physicality.

527
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Under Mike vrabel right, they have the best division record

528
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: in the AFC South since twenty eighteen when he took

529
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: over as the head coach. It's just an identity game.

530
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: Who wants it more? These two teams. I don't want

531
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: to say they know each other very well because that's

532
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: a cliche response, But it's also not all that true

533
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: because of Shane snike right off adventure against Tennessee. But

534
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: the point is the Colts know who the Tennessee Titans are,

535
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: and they know this game is going to come down

536
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter like it always does against the

537
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, and it's just about execution. It's just about physicality,

538
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: and I think this is going to be the most

539
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: physical game, one of the most physical games the Colts

540
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: play all year long. It's a home game. We know

541
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: about all the streaks. We'll talk about that in just

542
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: a second. But I just think this is an identity game.

543
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: Who are you? You know who they are? Can the

544
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Colts finally out tighten the Titans and stop Derrick Henry?

545
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: I think that it kind of all boils down to that.

546
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of physicality, Moiley Cox one catch for thirty five yards,

547
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: and you want to talk about physicality, running on people

548
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, taking people on rides across the

549
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: goal line. Big Moe joined myself in Bill Brooks earlier

550
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: today to talk about that catch and his season so

551
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: far in twenty twenty three. All right, we are joined

552
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: in studio now by Colt's tight end Moley Cox, who

553
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: was fresh off his first touchdown in twenty twenty three

554
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Rams. Big Mo, what's going on man?

555
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time, the no problem. How you been man,

556
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: I've been good.

557
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: Just grinding. You know, we're in season mode, so just

558
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: back in that routine.

559
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. It's it's an absolute daily grind.

560
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: And as I said, the set up there, your first

561
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in twenty twenty three, a thirty five yard gain.

562
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Tell us about that play because it was kind of

563
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: a you know, off script play if you will, from

564
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: Anthony richardson. How did you find yourself so open for

565
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: this just off script in general?

566
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: Because I hadn't that play all week, like Colin repped

567
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 3: it every time pretty much like we have personnel set

568
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: eleven Grandson yep. But we you know, we go a

569
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: lot of no huddle. So I was just in on

570
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: a play and I'm really supposed to like clear it

571
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: out for Alec grab a safety, but they came out

572
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: in a completely different coverage than we expected. So once

573
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: I saw the coverage and I ran it. I was like, oh,

574
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm most likely getting the ball. So I came on

575
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: my break. It wasn't there, so Anthony was under pressure.

576
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, if I keep going across, I saw all

577
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: the open field over there, so I just kept going.

578
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: And he launched it, and I knew I was so

579
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: wide open, Like I kind of turned my head before

580
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: I caught it.

581
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 5: I bobbled it a little bit.

582
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: Once I got it, I just didn't even see the

583
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: guys in front me. I just saw blues. That's poor

584
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: guy number two, whoever that was.

585
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: I was going to say, you truck somebody.

586
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: For sure. I mean, I typically don't if a safety.

587
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: If a safety trying to tack me one on one, yeah,

588
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: up high, that's not gonna be yes. It's not a

589
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: pretty s.

590
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: So ninety seven Michael Hoyt, I don't know. I don't

591
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: know what you charged him for that rock across the

592
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: goal line, but he got a free ride with you.

593
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: And then you also dropped off number two, Russ Yeast,

594
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: a local product from Center Grove High School. You drop

595
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: him off at the bus stop, run the five yard.

596
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: I didn't want nothing to do.

597
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: I don't even know he was playing in his hometown.

598
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: It was a fan. Now you talk about how you

599
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: didn't rep that play, Now, I know, you know things

600
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: happened throughout the course of the game. You just got

601
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: to go. You got to play football. But when they

602
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: called that play and you hadn't repped it, like what

603
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: was going through your mind?

604
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: True?

605
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 3: Nothing, really, because like the way we rotate in the

606
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: tight end room especially, it's like you'll get one series,

607
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 3: one series, one series, so we all have to know

608
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 3: the plays and we during camp. That's a good thing

609
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: coach has done with us, like or even in walkthrough,

610
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: we might go through it or go over it a

611
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: million times, so just in case you're stuck in there

612
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: on that play, you're not. It's not foreign to you.

613
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: And different things like that. So when they called it,

614
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean I knew exactly what to do and it

615
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: worked out.

616
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: Now you mentioned the tight end room there and the

617
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 4: time room is very talented here with the coach very talented.

618
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 4: What's the atmosphere and the competition like in the in

619
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: the tider end room because you guys are very very talented.

620
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: Man, It's just a good group to be around. Like

621
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: there are no egos in a room, somebody does something good,

622
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: everybody's happy for you, and we just know the workload's

623
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: gonna be split up some weeks and somebody might get

624
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 3: a little bit more, just depending on the flow of

625
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: the game and stuff like that. But I mean, we're

626
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: just always trying to build each other up. You know,

627
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: I'm the veteran in the room, and it's a bunch

628
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: of young guys, so they bring a lot of energy there.

629
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 3: And then having Tom back, he's a different beast in itself,

630
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 3: so it's just we just have a lot of good

631
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: camaraderie together.

632
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about the tight end room. You talk

633
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: about Anthony Richardson making plays and he's able to extend

634
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: plays and is able to I mean, he's just such

635
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: a marvelous player outside of the pocket. Does that change

636
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: your approach or your mentality this guy? The play is

637
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: never over with this guy, so I have to continuously

638
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: fight to get open.

639
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure. That's one of the first things

640
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: we talked about, like starting back in OTA's and campus,

641
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: like you come out your break and things like that.

642
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: The play's never over because it's not like years past

643
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: where we didn't have as a mobile of a quarterback. Now, Anthony,

644
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: you just never know when he's going to go down.

645
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: So like that play was just a perfect example of

646
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: just continue to fight for extra Like scrambled drier was

647
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 3: something we like talk about all the time and we

648
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: see it's come up a couple times in this first

649
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: couple of games.

650
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 4: Now you talk about Anthony Richards and now you play

651
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: with a number of different quarterbacks throughout your career. What

652
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 4: makes him so special? I know his physical ability as

653
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 4: far as his size and being big and being fast,

654
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 4: but what else makes him so special out there in

655
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: the football field.

656
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing that I've seen is just

657
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: like his poise. You never really see him get rattled,

658
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: especially for being a young player, Like no nervousness about him.

659
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: He's very even killed and like something doesn't go right,

660
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: He's onto the next play and different things like that,

661
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: whereas some other like younger players. I haven't really played

662
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: with a young quarterback, just younger players in general. You

663
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: see if something doesn't go right, you'll see it like

664
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: have a cloud over their head and keep carrying on

665
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: to other players with him, he's just onto the next

666
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: play and just ready to keep going.

667
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: Bill, you said a couple quarterback trying to be nice,

668
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: though I know what well, I have the unofficial in

669
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: my head.

670
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: I have what I think is the number.

671
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Do you know what the number is that you've played

672
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: with since twenty seventeen?

673
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: I want to say nine or ten.

674
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: I counted eleven starting different starting quarterbacks.

675
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: We had Scott Jakoby, Yeah, Andrew Carson, Matt Phillip, Brian Hoyeran.

676
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Hoyer, Sam Yep, I guess Nick Nick Foles Yep, Anthony

677
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: and these two guys this year, Anthony and Gardner.

678
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: I think, oh, yeah, see, I wasn't county. I forgot

679
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: about Gardner this year.

680
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gardner this year. Yeah, he started a game in

681
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: Week three against the Baltimore Ravens. That that's got to

682
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: be That's got to be difficult on you as a

683
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: pass catcher. You played in a couple of different offenses

684
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: with all of these different quarterbacks. How difficult has that

685
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: been over the course of time for you to get

686
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: synergy and acclamation with all those different guys.

687
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: It's a little difficult just because of like just building

688
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: a chemistry and a rapport with the quarterback, and then

689
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, every quarterback once their stuff ran a certain way,

690
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: your route ran a certain way, and different things like that.

691
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: So I mean, but it's our jobs to adjust, sure.

692
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: So I mean you're probub Yeah, you just got to

693
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: come in and get to work a little difficult. But

694
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's football at the end of the day.

695
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: But now that you have found stability with one guy,

696
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully that's the case going forward, you know,

697
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: the rest of this year and going forward, Like you said,

698
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: how much do you think that's going to help you

699
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: and everybody else?

700
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: I just think I think it's just going to help

701
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: us a lot, because I mean we've never gone back

702
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: to back with the same quarterback. So yeah, I mean,

703
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: you see, he's already special right now. And then just

704
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: carry on continue doing what he does, and then another

705
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: have the season under his belt and then hopefully in

706
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: the future he's still here. You know. I think it'd

707
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: be great things for the Coast franchise.

708
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 4: Now you talk about different quarterbacks. Now, you've played in

709
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: a number of different offices as well. Ye throughout your career.

710
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 4: How do you like this offense in regards to the

711
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: tight ends role in this type of offense?

712
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, I love this offense. This we have a

713
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: lot of different roles, but we're used like in the

714
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: running game. It's a little bit simpler on us, whereas

715
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: before we were like blocking a bunch of d a

716
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 3: lot and that's very like, that's tough. So this offense,

717
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean we've blocked the d n also, but we're

718
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: also used on a perimeter cornerbacks line. We're blocking more

719
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: on the second level than we have in the past,

720
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: which makes our job a little bit easier. So and

721
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: then in the past game, you know that no huddle,

722
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: that no huddle tempo stuff throws a defense off off

723
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: guard and sometimes you're not ready, so you just we're

724
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: open a lot more than usual.

725
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Hey, how tough is it to be a tight end

726
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL?

727
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: Oh Man, people don't understand.

728
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: They have no idea.

729
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: You just got one. Is a mental hurdle for sure,

730
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: because you running game past game. But then sometimes you're

731
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: actual pass pro so you got to know all three

732
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: of those. And then than the physical, I mean, you're

733
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: blocking dudes bigger than you that are running like four

734
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: four four to five defensive end and stuff like that.

735
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard, but once you if you could

736
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: get like the mental part down, it allows you to

737
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: play way faster.

738
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And how much film do you have to watch

739
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: because of all of those?

740
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you definitely got to watch a lot of film.

741
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: I try to get my film in on Monday and

742
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: Tuesday and then throughout the week over practice and supplement it. Yes.

743
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: Now, I know you critique yourself after each game.

744
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: I'm sure you critique yourself after each practice and throughout

745
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: this season. If you could say, right now, if you

746
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: could tell us right now, what's the one thing that

747
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: you would like to improve on for yourself? I mean

748
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: that you after you critique yourself after a game or

749
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 4: practice or even during the season.

750
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: I would just say, continuing just my pad level, okay,

751
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: and like hand placement in the wrung game. You know,

752
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: I'm a bigger guy, So just getting down there and

753
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: sustaining my pad level throughout the whole play where sometimes

754
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: I might get a little high. I mean I still

755
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: get the block done, but just perfecting my technique and

756
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: different things like that.

757
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: You know, all of these young guys in the room,

758
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Ogletree, Kyline Grants and Will Mallory let's stick with

759
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: the real young guys and Mallory Angelanni Woods, right, and

760
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: you know coming off of ir hopefully here soon for

761
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: the Colts dealing with that hamstring injury. What do you

762
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: see as the potential because all these guys are they're

763
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: big guys that can catch, but they all y'all have

764
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of different skill sets as well. What do you

765
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: see from Ogle, Tree and Mallory in terms of all

766
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: the different facets they can bring to this offense?

767
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: Well, well, definitely his speed, man, Yeah, he is fast.

768
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, he could.

769
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 3: He could run. I haven't seen it too much because

770
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 3: he hasn't got too many opportunity. You know, he was

771
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: hurt most of the OTA's in camp. I mean he

772
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: saw a little bit in the Houston game. He got

773
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: opened in the open field and things like that. But

774
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: Will's definitely he might be the fastest out of all

775
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 3: of us in the room. So once he could probably

776
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: he could play numerous positions on offense. And Drew Drew

777
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: does it all, yeah, because he's former wide receiver so

778
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: he has experienced route running, different things like that. And

779
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 3: then he's just real tough when it comes to the

780
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 3: wrong game, Like he's not scared to throw his body

781
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: around and do the dirty work.

782
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: And you guys are so tight too. I mean it

783
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: seems like you guys genuinely have a great bond with

784
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: one another. And when Mallory got his first catch in Houston,

785
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: you guys were going berserk. I know, ogle Tree with

786
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: his first touchdown, with all that he went through last

787
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: year with his injury, I mean, what was that emotional

788
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: feeling like for you to experience that with him?

789
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: For him, Oh man, it was just exciting. I mean

790
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: we talked about we talked about it all week, we

791
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 3: talked about it last week, but we didn't get one.

792
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: So because we know Colin got his first one, like Drew,

793
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: you got to be up next like then Drew ends

794
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: up getting it, and it was just like just a

795
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: great moment to see just the emotion he like, just

796
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: emotion he had and we were all rooting for him,

797
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 3: especially last year because he was bawling and then unfortunate

798
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: injury happened. So it's just happy to see him back.

799
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: And then Will when Will got his first you know, Will,

800
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 3: he's a little nervous, like he's always in his book

801
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 3: that I'm like, bro, just relax, man, you got it,

802
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: just go play. So just seeing him get a catch

803
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: and just just get that one out the way to

804
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 3: see him calm down a little bit.

805
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 4: Now you talk about Will's first game, he's all nervous

806
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: and everything. Do you remember your first game when you

807
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: played in that national.

808
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: Houston Texas at home? They had JJ Watt and Clowney

809
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: on both oh Man at that point, I really wasn't

810
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: running anywhere else, so I knew I had to be

811
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 3: blocking them the whole game. I'm like, welcome to the NFL.

812
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you lose?

813
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: Right?

814
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: Oh my stars. Well let's talk about you know, you

815
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: talk about the Houston Texans, Let's talk about another AFC

816
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: South team, Tennessee the task at hand this week, game

817
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: number five. That defense is really really good, but they

818
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: are especially against a good against the run. I should say, sure,

819
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: why why are they such a great defense?

820
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: I think one, they like to set the tone with

821
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 3: their physicality, and that starts with the guys up front.

822
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, you got Simmons, Landry, you got Deniko who's there,

823
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: and they're just they just played with a little nastiness

824
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: about them. I mean, we don't like them, they don't

825
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: like us. Yeah, they just yeah, they that front seven

826
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 3: sets the tone for them for sure.

827
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: Is this a true rivalry?

828
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: I think so yeah, for sure.

829
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's a rivalry in the sense

830
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: that it's a huge division game. But for you guys

831
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: trying to snap a five game losing streak to them,

832
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys talk about that. How much urgency

833
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: is there with going on this?

834
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 3: We really don't talk about it too much, but we

835
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: just know, like we know, when we play Tennessee, we

836
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: have to put the big boy pads on. By I'm

837
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 3: telling the guys in the room, I'm like, you guys

838
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 3: thought Baltimore was physical, like this is going to be

839
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: just as physical, if not more physical, and stuff like that.

840
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: So of course we look forward to it, always, always

841
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: excited to play Tennessee, but we know we got to

842
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: take care of business, especially at home, which we've done

843
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 3: in a while.

844
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 4: Exactly to ask you, how important is it for you

845
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 4: and the team to get a win at home because

846
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: they haven't won home since almost a whole year.

847
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, last year.

848
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: Definitely try to come out give our fans something to

849
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: be excited about. You know, last last week we came

850
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: out with zero points until midway through the third, So

851
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: trying to get off to a faster start this week

852
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: and just hopefully get that home run right now.

853
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: I do have one more question for you from me

854
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: this past spring that I heard you were a commissment

855
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 4: speaker at VCU. How was that and what did you

856
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 4: do to impart on the students out there at that

857
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: VCU grad students.

858
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: When they asked me to do it, I kind of

859
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: initially said, I didn't even give an answer. I was like, man,

860
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 3: that's kind of it's kind.

861
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: Of a big deal, Like it's a very big I'm.

862
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 3: Kind of nervous doing that. He was like, you play

863
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: in front of me. I was like, yeah, but I

864
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 3: have a helmet on on the field. I'm literally looking

865
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: straight into a crowd of people.

866
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: But you're not talking either, and I'm not talking.

867
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: But it was definitely a great experience. I try to

868
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: leave them with gems as they embark onto that next

869
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 3: part of their life, like just to expect the unexpected.

870
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: You never know what's going to happen, control the controllables

871
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: because you can only control what you control, not the

872
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: outside noise and all the other factors that might happen.

873
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: And just having faith and belief in like what you

874
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: want to do. Like when I first got here, I

875
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: didn't think I would be here for seven years. I'm

876
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 3: still here, so just little things like that. It's kind

877
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: of crazy because I had the teleprompter. The teleprompter went

878
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: out mid speech. I'm like, whoa, Now, did you.

879
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Have a backup paper?

880
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 5: I didn't you know where you were at?

881
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I wasn't looking at it, so I had

882
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: to start flipping through it. But you know, they love

883
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: me down there Richmond. When I was playing basketball, like

884
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: my little slogan was most says No because I was

885
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 3: second all time in block. So like the crowd started shanging,

886
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 3: that's my back, my spot. Then I finished the speech,

887
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 3: but it was definitely a cool experience of city originally.

888
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I'm sure you killed it, just like you

889
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: do everything else. Mowley Cox, he's a wise man right there.

890
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: He's playing tight end. We knew he was versatile. He's

891
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: also given commencement speeches back at the All of Honor.

892
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: Fantastic interview per usual.

893
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: Mo.

894
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: Congratulations on that touchdown and good luck this weekend, sir our,

895
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: thanks right there to Big Mo telling us to chase

896
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: our dreams. As the commencement speaker at at PCU. No,

897
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, he's he's well suited for that job

898
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: because he's a great story I mean guy that I mean,

899
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: I tell this story all the time. He didn't even

900
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Bill, he didn't even know how to

901
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: put his his pant his pads in the pants as

902
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: a football player. Now, Cat your touchdown passes twelve of

903
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: them for his career for Big Moalley Cox. So we

904
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: thank number eighty one for stopping by just a few

905
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: minutes ago. All right, closing out here with some Titan tidbits.

906
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: And this is kind of a dovetail on our Sunday storylines,

907
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: just more things to focus on for the game on Sunday. Casey,

908
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: how about red zone? The Colts this year have been

909
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: sensational inside the red area, which is a big contrast

910
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: in a good way from last year. The Colts last

911
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: year are just not very good. You know what it is?

912
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 6: What's that Our first the first edition of the Thursday

913
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 6: Pod was coming after the first loss, and the red

914
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 6: zone was the problem.

915
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: We talked about how you know, right, and look at that.

916
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: Since then here we go, the team has been very

917
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 2: good and.

918
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: They're on fire. In fact, they have scored touchdowns on

919
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: seven of their last eight red zone opportunities. Right now,

920
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: the Colts rank third in the NFL in red zone

921
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: percentage seventy two percent. The Titans, by the way, on offense,

922
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: they have a thirty eight point five percent red zone

923
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage, which is twenty ninth in the NFL. I

924
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: love the way. I know we'll get into this, but

925
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: I love the way Shane Steiken not saves, but just

926
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: always has a plan for creativity, formations and getting your

927
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: best players the football inside the twenty yard line, because

928
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: that's what it all comes down to, the third down

929
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: and red zone. I mean, I'm a broken record. I

930
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: think football, especially in the NFL, it so much comes

931
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: down to those two key areas. Bill for you, how

932
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: much of an advantage do you think the Colts have

933
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: in this game because of their red zone prowess, if

934
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: you will.

935
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 4: I think that gets the Coats a big advantage in

936
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 4: the red zone as if they can go out there

937
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: and score some touchdowns. Because you want to get up

938
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 4: on this team. You want to get up on the

939
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: Titans and try to make them one dimension. As we

940
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 4: talked about with Ryan Tannehill, make him do things where

941
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: he's not comfortable, not his best suit as I would

942
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 4: say as far as getting the ball, throwing the ball

943
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 4: is dropping back, throwing the ball, throwing the ball, throwing

944
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 4: the ball, and the Coats can get up on the

945
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 4: Titans like that, it puts the Titans in a bad situation.

946
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: I think for the Coats to be successful in the

947
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 4: red zone, to continue doing what they do, continue to

948
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 4: be creative as shame sticking has been, and just score

949
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 4: those touchdowns and make it very difficult for the Titans.

950
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

951
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 6: I mean it's something that and I have talked about

952
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 6: leading up to this game. It's very uncharacteristic like the

953
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 6: Titans to struggle inside the redstin that's typically an area

954
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 6: where Ryan Tannehill thrives. He thrives in that area. So

955
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 6: it's something that when I look at it the numbers,

956
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 6: I'm a little surprised in a way. But I love

957
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 6: what you mentioned with Shane Steichen and just you know,

958
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 6: letting your key players kind of feast if you will,

959
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 6: in those.

960
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: Key and lining up and the inverted wishbowl and putting

961
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: guys in motion. I mean, I just love it because

962
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: you really do have to have the ball in your

963
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: hands of your best player.

964
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

965
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: Inside the twenty yard line, because I'm not saying it's

966
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: easy to move the ball but between the twenties, but

967
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: it's so much more difficult to execute when the field

968
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: shrinks and the game is on the line and everybody

969
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: is kind of keying on on what your tendencies are.

970
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: The Colts, I think, have just been so good in

971
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: terms of precision execution and ball handling in the offensive backfield.

972
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: On if you're going to go in motion, it's got

973
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: to be timed up beautiful, right. If you're going to

974
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,959
Speaker 1: fake a handoff, if you're going to run an RPO play,

975
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: all that has to be handled very precisely with the

976
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: ball handling in the backfield, and the Colts have done

977
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: a really good job of that, just flat out execution

978
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: inside the twenty yard line, especially when the game's on

979
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: the line in the fourth quarter. Last Sunday against the Rams.

980
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about streaks. The Colts are playing

981
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: their third AFC South game in the first five weeks.

982
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: As we said, Tennessee playing their first AFC South game

983
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: of the season coming up on Sunday against the Colts.

984
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: The Titans have won five in a row over the Colts,

985
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: which is their longest winning streak over the Colts in

986
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: franchise history. That factors in the Titans era, which dates

987
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety nine. That's Houston Oiler days, that's everything.

988
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: They've won four straight games against the Colts at Lucas

989
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium. The Colts have lost seven straight games at

990
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium dating back to last year. As we

991
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: talked about with Moiley Cox, that is the longest losing

992
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: streak for the Colts at home in the history of

993
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: the venue. Lucas Oil Stadium open up in two thousand

994
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: and eight. Another streak. The Titans have been horrific on

995
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: the road so far this year. They have lost five

996
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: straight road games dating back to last year. Bill, I mean,

997
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know how I regurgitated all that messing

998
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: it up. There's a lot of streaks on the line

999
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: in this game, flat out again. I just think it

1000
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: just boils down to in this little brother mentality that

1001
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: the Titans have forced upon the Colts, and it's time

1002
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: to get back to the winning ways in the AFC South,

1003
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: and it's time to out tighten the Titans.

1004
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 4: It's time to get back to the winning wings and

1005
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: do it at home to me. I think that's the

1006
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: big key for me. Play the Titans at home, win

1007
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 4: the game at home, beat this team. So it is

1008
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 4: a very big game, and I think it's big for

1009
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 4: another reason as well. The following week you played a Jaguars,

1010
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 4: another AFC South upon it you play them on the road,

1011
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 4: but if you could win that game, you win two

1012
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 4: AFC South games and win them back to back. That

1013
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 4: does a lot for the Colts going forward from there.

1014
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,479
Speaker 4: But I think it's so important and just playing at home,

1015
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 4: getting the home crowd behind you and winning here at home.

1016
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: Question for both of you as we wrap up, as

1017
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: you said, the next two games AFC South games, the

1018
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: schedule is always here lately so front loaded with division games.

1019
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean last year, by week seven, after the Colts

1020
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: were swept by Tennessee, right that second game of the

1021
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,479
Speaker 1: season where you lost to Tennessee for the second time

1022
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: in mid to late October, the season was pretty much

1023
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: it was. It was hard to overcome that. With these

1024
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: next two games for both of you, I don't know

1025
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: if they're must win games, but what would you classify

1026
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: them as? Phill in the blank? Next two games are.

1027
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 6: What I don't want to speak for Bill, but I

1028
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 6: know he's not a big must win guy, so I

1029
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 6: under I know where Bill is going. I'm more must

1030
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 6: win than I'm right with Matt on this one. It

1031
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 6: may not be must win, but it's pretty darn close.

1032
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a game that and I'm not

1033
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 6: looking at it from like playoffs in all of that.

1034
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 6: I think it's bigger than that. This is just you

1035
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 6: talked about mentality. I think that for the culture, the

1036
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 6: Titans have been kind of that team over the last

1037
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 6: handful of years that it's like you just can't get

1038
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 6: over that hump. And I'm not saying that they're exposed

1039
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 6: this year, but what they have put on tape through

1040
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 6: four games is there a team that's not consistent. So

1041
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 6: go out there, play your style of football, regain the

1042
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 6: home field, get the fans at Lucas Oil really given

1043
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 6: something to cheer about, because the last time you won

1044
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 6: was the Alec Pierce touchdown against Jacksonville last year. It

1045
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 6: seems like so long ago. So just getting a victory

1046
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 6: inside Lucas Oil, Yes, inside the AFC South for sure. Yes,

1047
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 6: it's against a team and the Titans that you've been

1048
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 6: trying to beat. But I think it's just a culture thing.

1049
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 6: Give these young guys. Give Anthony Richardson his first victory

1050
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 6: at home. I mean, all of that is what I'm

1051
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 6: looking at. Like, yes, it's a maybe not must win,

1052
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 6: but it's pretty darn close.

1053
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: You want nothing.

1054
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm sorry in the corner, I'm just hey,

1055
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 7: I'm fire like to me, to me there, it's over.

1056
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 5: Sorry, you didn't put me to court. It all just

1057
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 5: for me. It's not.

1058
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 4: It's not a must win because I think you guys

1059
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: know how I feel about muscle wins. A must win

1060
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: to me is is hey, you have to win. Yeah,

1061
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: you have to win and get in the playoffs, stuff

1062
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 4: like that. If if that's to me, is a must win.

1063
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 4: But it's an important win. I think it's an important game.

1064
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 4: I should say it's very important for the Colts to

1065
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 4: go out there, and you say it helps establish a culture.

1066
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 4: We're playing an as yourself opponent in your home building.

1067
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: You need to go out there and win and.

1068
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 5: Play well at that. Not just win the ball game,

1069
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 5: but play well.

1070
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 4: You want to dominate, You want to be physical, beat

1071
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: them at what they say is their own game. And

1072
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: if they can do that, I think that goes a

1073
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 4: long way. So I think it's very important not just

1074
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 4: win the game, but how they play against the Titans

1075
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

1076
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: It's well said, man, you box yourself right out of

1077
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: that corner.

1078
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 5: I try my best, you know, I conducting dogs for

1079
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 5: the good.

1080
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like the German and Rocky Florida cutting.

1081
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 5: Straight out to joy Duck and dodge those punches.

1082
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 4: Man, really good.

1083
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: Anytime I can bust out the mickingpression on that, that's

1084
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: a good day right there. Here's what we know. This

1085
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: game is likely coming down to the wire, right, Colts

1086
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,520
