Speaker 1: I like to drop something in your lap, start the discussion.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: But we're bringing in a tsunami today, a big tsunami.

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: In his name is Joseph Rights, the former offensive lineman.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: You can hear him on Colt's pregame. You hear him

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason calling games. Joe Rights has the juice

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: today I'm warning both of you guys, so be careful

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: because the big fella is ready to chirp. Joe apparently

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: go oh Gorman, we're ready to go. Anytime you and

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I are on the radio together. You know that we

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: make magic. When you're throwing JJ and Larra, I mean,

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: it's even more special. So this is gonna be a

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: great show for the listeners. I can guarantee that chee

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: on this. You guys, I'm gonna start this and get

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: out of your way. You're all professionals. Okay, here we go. Well,

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. Okay, I'm saying this. I'm concerned. I'm concerned.

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: I know he's starting this thing in a weird way,

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: but I am concerned a bit because of the buzz

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: saw that we're gonna face over the next five weeks,

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: and the quarterback play and the overall team play and

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: what happened with Jacksonville. I know it's a divisional game

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: and everything, but that team was driving around the fifty

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: yard line with a minute something. Laugh. JJ. I know

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier, Lara. We got the w

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: but I'm concerned about this thing. Is it fixable? Can

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: we start on the defensive side, offensive side. Just just

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: clear me up here, Jeffrey. We we need to zoom

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: out real quick. Okay, all right, let me read you

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: some results that happened in week ten. Gotch Dolphins twenty two,

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Ravens ten. Okay, what what what happened there? Steelers sixteen,

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: Lions sixteen, Washington Football Team twenty nine, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ninth.

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: They do that, Los Angeles Rams ten, San Francisco forty nine,

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Ers thirty one. Just you know, it's really hard to

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: do in the NFL, win wins games. You dive into

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: this game against the Jaguars all you want about how

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: it was ugly and how you're not feeling great about it.

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: It's really hard to win in the NFL. And no

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: one can speak to that better than the guy on

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: the phone with us. Joe writes, I know, Joe, you

53
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: and I talked before the game of the pregame show something.

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne said, what was it like, let losers lose?

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: But you also know how hard it is to win

56
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Yeah, exactly. REGI used to say, keep

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: the losers losing, you know, in terms of not giving

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: anybody life. And that's unfortunate what the Colts did of

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: jackson I mean, the games seventeen nothing. You go on

60
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: another drive there and shut him down and go up

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty four. They might pack it in and quit,

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: but the Colts led him back in the game. There

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: were a lot of factors that happened. But you've got

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: to give Jacksonville credit. That's a young team that's playing

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: really hard and really physical. What disappointed me in the

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: game more than anything, I felt like we got out physical,

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: that the point of attack, offense, defensive lines really in

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: the second and third quarter. Now to the Colts credit,

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: when it was winning time the last half of the

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, we made play as an offense and defense

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: and that was the difference. And that's the mark of

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: a good football team. But I agree with you Gorman

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: in terms of, to me, when we zoom out, the

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: next two weeks are gonna give us a lot more

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: clarity about this Colts football team. You're five and five,

76
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: But now you go on the road to Buffalo, who

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people, they're the number one

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl pick right now, Buffalo. They're number one, you

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: know in total defense, they're number two in total offense,

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: they leave the enfl and turnovers twenty four takeaways. The

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Cults are number two right behind, But you're going on

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: the road Buffalo than Tampa Bay defending Super Bowl champs

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: at home. So how the Colts fair these next two weeks,

84
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: to me, will determine their season. If you lose vote,

85
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be really, really, really hard to get

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. If you win both, now all of

87
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're not only in the driver's seat, you

88
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: beat two of the best teams in football, and you're

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: getting talked about as a legit contender. If you go

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: one and one and you split, now you're five hundred.

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: Then you got Houston on the road than the bye week,

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: you're still in the mix. So bottom line, the Colts

93
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: gotta get some wins against good football teams, something that

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: they haven't done yet this year in twenty twenty one.

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: All right, Gorman, I'm trying to bring all the positivity

96
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: do this podcast. You know, I know that I'm a

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: what I'm here for. You know, I'm very rarely you know,

98
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: cynical or negative, you guys, ye, yeah, right, and then

99
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you'll you'll get the unfiltered version. But no I mean,

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: it's a win is a win. You don't get more

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: credit for a fifteen point win versus a two point

102
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: win versus a seven point win. Like it just matters

103
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: that you get the victory. It's not there's you know,

104
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: no strength of schedule bonus or no margin of victory

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: bonus in the NFL. So it's a selection committee. There's

106
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: no selection committee exactly. And this is what I would

107
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: love to hear Joe weigh in on because he has

108
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: been a part of teams that are built like I

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: think this Indianapolis Colts team is in the sense that

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I asked Frank Reich on Monday, is this team yet

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: playing its best football of this season? How is this

112
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: team primed to be playing its best football late November

113
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: into December and continue just accelerating And he said, we

114
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: have consistently improved, and there are aspects where they are

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: getting healthier and there are you know, we've seen within

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: this offense, Carson Wentz's comfort just continuing to accelerate with

117
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: the weapons that he has. We're seeing this defense come

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: together in much different facets, especially with the rise of

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: your two rookies there On Sunday afternoon, both DIOI dangon

120
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay getting sacks. Joe, what about this team indicates

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: to you that the best football is still ahead of them? Lara,

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you bring up some great points. I think one youth.

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: So when you talk about Quitty Pay, you talk about Dio.

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Those two guys, you know, I would argue outside of

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Buckner are most two impactful rushers, and down the stretch

126
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: they're only going to get better one as they get healthy.

127
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Earth right, think what percent is Dio right now? Right?

128
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay off the handstring, gaining his experience, finally breaking

129
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: through and getting the first sack. So that's going to

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: continue to ascend, and especially that pass rush we need

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: because to me, the biggest weakness of this team is

132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: other teams throwing the ball against us. That's a combination

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: of one pass rush, two secondary. What I like against

134
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Jackson though, we heated him up with a lot more

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: blitzes than we've seen some five man pressures, six man pressures,

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: and I think we're going to have to do that

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: against some of these good quarterbacks. We can't just rush

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: for and let you know, Alan and Brady back there

139
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: pick us apart. So one, the youth getting experienced and

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: then two, I think you mentioned the health you know,

141
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton coming back, I mean he's not been

142
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: on the field for a large part of the season

143
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz, the offensive line getting healthier and better together.

144
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: And then number three, the familiarity with the group on offense,

145
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: all those guys being familiar with each other. Again, Carson's

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: only been here six months and missed a lot of

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, these guys still haven't played together

148
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a ton. You see the connection him and Pittingham have

149
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: made a lot of that as those guys just really

150
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: understanding the nuances where they've been and so on offense,

151
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna get more of that. And then on defense

152
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: as well. I think that, you know, as though some

153
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: of those younger guys play more, come back from injury,

154
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully we get healthier on the front line and

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: in the back end. The familiarity as a group, the

156
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: self belief as a group. I think everybody in the

157
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Colts organization would argue and probably believe that our ceiling

158
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: is a lot higher than we've been playing. And that's

159
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: what's exciting as you play meaningful football in November leading

160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: into December. Jonathan Taylor currently tied for the league in

161
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: rushing yards this season. He is primed to take a

162
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: stronghold on that lead here, of course, going into Buffalo

163
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: and then with Derrick Henry out for an extended period

164
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: of time, we're now looking to JT as being, you know,

165
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: the favorite to take that to be coined. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

166
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: absolutely so. He's tallied a rushing touchdown and one hundred

167
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage in seven consecutive games. The Colts are

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: eight and oh when JT has at least one hundred

169
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards, ding Ding Ding, ding Ding. As a former

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,479
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Joe, how can you explain put in perspective

171
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: for us, how the production of the run game not

172
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: only sets up the offense for a success, but sets

173
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: up the entire team to go eight No when you

174
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: have one hundred yards or more by Jonathan Taylor. Well,

175
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: I think one, when you rush for a lot of yards,

176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you're physically imposing your will on the other team, and

177
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: that helps in so many different passets. One, you possessed

178
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: the ball, you increase your time of possession, you keep

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the other good offenses off the field to it slows

180
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: down that pass rush because you're beating on those guys

181
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: and beating on those guys in the running game. And three,

182
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: when you're able to run the ball and dictate when

183
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you run, that just makes a complete difference in the

184
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: ball game. And you know, there's nothing harder than an

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: offensive lineman when you can't run the ball, or you're

186
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: down by ten or fourteen points and you're forced to pass,

187
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: and the defensive ends are in a track stance, you know,

188
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: and just pinning their ears back and just getting after

189
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So I think that, and then I just

190
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: think Johnson Taylor is so good and so special, and

191
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to get better. You know, he

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: was good at the end of last year. But you

193
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: go back to that playoff game and Buffalo, he had

194
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: seventy six yards. He didn't hit a hundred. So you

195
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: mentioned the formula getting him a hundred yards Sunday against Buffalo.

196
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: Possessed the ball, run down the field, impose our will

197
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: on the Bills. And then a team that has twenty

198
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: four takeaways, a team that has fifteen interceptions, you know,

199
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: now you're not forced to throw and hopefully we can

200
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: win that turnover battle of bottom line, you get to

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: keep a lot of those good offenses like Josh Allen

202
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: on the sideline. If you're running the ball and you're

203
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: putting together those ten to twelve play drives where you're

204
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: eating up stick seven, eight, nine minutes on the clock.

205
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, Jonathan Taylor's finding the end

206
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: zone and the red zone, which was a big issue

207
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: for this Colts the first three games. All of a sudden,

208
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: the Cults are ninth in the NFL and red zone.

209
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: And when I go back to that playoff game in Buffalo,

210
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: neither team had a turnover last year. Third down we

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: were actually nine to seventeen, they were two and nine.

212
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: We whipped him on third down, but in the red

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: zone we were two or five last year, and that's

214
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: what cost us the playoff game. You know that that's

215
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: going to be a point of effosis for this team

216
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: to win. But the fact that we had a lot

217
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of success and the fact that probably everybody on that

218
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: team plane felt like we left a victory in Buffalo

219
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: last year makes me excited for this year because we

220
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: got something to prove, and to me, we're going to

221
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: be the hungrier team comes Sunday afternoon to one o'clock,

222
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: so to kind of follow the JT discussion because he's

223
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: a guy who can be a closer late in games.

224
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior leads the NFL in receptions on third

225
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: down with twenty one in the fourth quarter. He's tenth

226
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: and receiving guards, eighth and first downs, sixth and explosive plays.

227
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a passer rating of one hundred and

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: fourteen point one. When he targets Michael Pittman in the

229
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, excuse me, Joe, When you got two guys

230
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: in Pittman and Taylor who you can lean on late

231
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: in games like that, like the Colts can, what kind

232
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: of confidence does that give an entire team of Like?

233
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: All right, plays got to be made. We know who

234
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: we can get the ball to exactly and when you

235
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: get you know, when the chips are down. In the

236
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: NFL or in any sport right the fourth quarter, you

237
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: need to make a play. You always think players, not plays,

238
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: and who can we go to? And it's no different

239
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: than in basketball. You know, if the balls in Jordan's

240
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: hands or Kobe sands, you feel good about yourself in

241
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That's how it is right now with

242
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: Taylor and Pittman, and then Carson Wentz. But to me, JJ,

243
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: who's number three? Right? So if teams are really going

244
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to focus bring an extra guy in the box to

245
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: take away JT, do they start to double Pittman or

246
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: bracket him. Who's our third guy on offense? And to me,

247
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton or Nihy Hines, one of those guys

248
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: has to become, you know, the third guy in the

249
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: third weapon that we can go to. Hey, you can

250
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: take away one. You might even be able to take

251
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: away both Pittman and Taylor if you commit a lot

252
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: of defense. But now does that lead one on one

253
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: coverage for t Y Hilton or one on one coverage

254
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: for Hines on a linebacker out of the backfield, which

255
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: is a mismatch for the Colts. I'll be interested to

256
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: see kind of what that third guy is in that

257
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: emergence of the role, because we're gonna need them down

258
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: the stretch. Joe, I want to go back to last

259
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: week to get your perspective on Danny Pinter's touchdown. I

260
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: know you guys have talked about this, of course in

261
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: the pregame show, but haven't gotten to break it down

262
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: quite so much on the podcast. That was such a

263
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: fun moment. And how indicative is that you talked about,

264
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, Carson Wentz's comfort and the chemistry that he's

265
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: building within this offense. How indicative of is it the

266
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: trust that Carson has with this offense when there's nothing,

267
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone is covered and Danny finds himself opening

268
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: the end zone and Carson is willing to be like, hey,

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: let's go, let's make this work. I love it, I mean,

270
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: And that's the fact that the trust Wentz has in

271
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: the offense and just the knowledge of the playbook and

272
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: his progressions. And you know, I read afterwards you said, Pinter,

273
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: only you know, I'm only thrown into if your wide open,

274
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: if you are just yell at me. And boy, he

275
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: was wide open because again the guy that had him

276
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: in man coverage, the defensive ends thinking it. So line

277
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: is not going to go out for a pass, I'm

278
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: going to rush the pats or But I tell you

279
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: those are hard balls to catch, and it's just floating

280
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: there and seems like forever till it comes down and

281
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: you know he went to it and needs to secure

282
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: the catch. That was awesome. Nothing better than a big

283
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: man touchdown anytime that happens. No, that a bunch of

284
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: us former offensive lineman. We all start group texting each

285
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: other and we celebrate in the successes of a fellow

286
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: offensive lineman that gets the score touchdown. That's special. I

287
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: love that so much. And one of the things going

288
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: back to, you know, the San Francisco game is where

289
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: you started to see Michael Pittman emerge as that third

290
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: down guy. You know, he was the target for Carson Wentz,

291
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: the guy who had, you know, the most reliability in

292
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: And one of the things Carson was asked about afterward

293
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: is how did you have so much confidence throwing the

294
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: ball in the conditions that you had? And he gave credit,

295
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: of course to the receivers who he's working with. And

296
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: it looks like we could have some conditions in Buffalo.

297
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: There could be some precipitation. Looks like a combination of rain, sleep,

298
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: possibly snow. It's always windy in Buffalo in morning. I

299
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: love it. Joe, what is kind of the formula for

300
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: success in this offense? Because I think a lot of

301
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: people think with those conditions you would just pound the run.

302
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: But we've also seen this offense, and you know, we

303
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: know that Frank likes to get a little bit risky

304
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: sometimes and try things that you're not exactly planning for.

305
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: Given everything that the circumstances are pointing you toward. Well,

306
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: I think one the fact that we had such a

307
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: crazy weather game san France helps us. I mean that

308
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: was a complete monsoon, and we handled the elements better

309
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: than San Francisco, and we were more physical than them.

310
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: And when you think about the Colts historically, right, this

311
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: ain't You're Peyton Manning. You know, team when you do

312
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: best in your dome and you might use in cold

313
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: weather in New England. I mean this team is built

314
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: to win outside. This team is built to run the ball,

315
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to be very physical at the point of attack, to

316
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: stop the run on defense. And so I think that

317
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: actually helps us going into Buffalo, just how this team

318
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: is constructed. And you mentioned third down. You know, to me,

319
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: this game in Buffalo is gonna come down to three things.

320
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Who wins the turnover battle. You got the two best

321
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: in the league. Who wins third down? Buffalo is number

322
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: one in the NFL. They're holding opponents to twenty nine

323
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: and a half percent on third down. We gotta get

324
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: third down conversions, whether it's through run or the air.

325
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Pittman, you know, in his NFL leading

326
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Staton in red zone. You know, it's situational football, you know,

327
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: in those areas are always big. But the fact that

328
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: the Colts had the game one last year but didn't

329
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: perform in the red zone. The fact that Buffalo right

330
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: now is number one and third down defense and in

331
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, both teams are elite, and that aspect,

332
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: that's what this game is gonna come down to. On Sunday,

333
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the Jaguars because there's

334
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of this weird like triangle between the Colts, Jaguars,

335
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: and Bills in the last couple of weeks where the

336
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: Bills go out and lose to the Jaguars two weeks ago.

337
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: The Colts then go out and beat the Jaguars in

338
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: a game that is acknowledged by literally everyone is being ugly,

339
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: included including Frank Reich. Um, what's real? Like are the

340
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: is the Jaguars? What's real? What's what's existence? What does

341
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: any of this mean? Um? Why are we here? Why

342
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: are right here? Why? But okay, what's real with this

343
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: is did the Bills lose the physical battle? Because they

344
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: are they got outmatched by the Jaguars or are the

345
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: is that Jaguars front really dang good and we're not

346
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: giving them enough credit for what they did to the

347
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: Bills and then the Colts, And I think I think

348
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: it's some of both. I think that you know, Buffalo,

349
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I think clearly was overlooking Jacksonville and didn't play well,

350
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: and you know, probably thought, hey, we're gonna show up

351
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get a nice devil digit win and

352
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: get out of here. But Jacksonville has gotten a lot

353
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: better since the season started. When you watch them on

354
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: film and you mentioned they're very physical and defense, they

355
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: got a young, hungry defensive team that has played really

356
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: well the last month or so. So you got to

357
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: get them some credit that they've gotten better as the

358
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: season's gone on. But so I think when you look

359
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: at the Bills, though, again they're six and three, you

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: know who they're six wins are against. They beat the

361
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: Dolphins twice, they beat the jet they beat Houston, they

362
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: beat the Washington football team, and they beat the Chiefs

363
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: right when the Chiefs have obviously struggled this year. That's

364
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: their six win. So, like, who have they really beat?

365
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: They lost to the Steelers at home, they lost to

366
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: the Titans, and then they lost to the Jags, and

367
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: so this Buffalo team to go back to Denny Green.

368
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: You want to crown the crown them. They're six and three,

369
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: but it's not like they beat the world beaters. And

370
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo schedule is Colts at Saints, New England, twice at

371
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Tampa over the next six weeks. So this is really

372
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: the meat of Buffalo team and if we're gonna find

373
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: out if they're really the AFC favorite or the Super

374
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Bowl favorite that a lot of people think. So we

375
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: mentioned the stats. I mentioned their number two in total offense,

376
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: number one in defense. But they've done it against teams

377
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: that aren't that good. That's why I'm excited for the Colts.

378
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: I really think the Colts are going to go in

379
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: there and win this ball game. And you can call

380
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: me a homer, and I probably am a little bit

381
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: of a homer because I played there and I always

382
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: want the Blue to do well. But everything to me

383
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: sets up for a Colts victory on Sunday. The conditions

384
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: I think help us. That's Joe writes, love it, Love it.

385
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: Love what you're saying, Joe Rights, I mean, you're on

386
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: the same track. Who they really beat. And then again,

387
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: I go back to that playoff game. If I'm a

388
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: player in that locker room ten months ago, I walked

389
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: out of that stadium knowing we should have won the

390
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: football game, and that motivation sticks with you. You are

391
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna have an inspired Colts team place day at one o'clock.

392
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee you we're gonna talk to Emily Leightner from

393
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: NFL Films, Joe, I want to get into that with

394
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: you a little bit about in season hard knocks in

395
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: a second. But I'm gonna open it up for the

396
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: crew of you. When I look at this game, I say,

397
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, uh, you know Josh Allen for starters, And

398
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: then I go while Stefan Diggs Manuel saying there's Cole

399
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: Beasley will be there, Dawson Knox, a young tight end.

400
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: Is this a team that will only beat you through

401
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: the passing game? Or do we have to worry about?

402
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: And JJ, I'm gonna go to you a guy that

403
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: may have you may know of a little bit about.

404
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Is Devin Singletary and Zach Moss are those guys we

405
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: have to worry about? Or is this just gonna Hey,

406
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna air it out forty times, and he's gonna

407
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: beat you that way, or you're gonna beat him here.

408
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Here's where I would be worried about the Bills run game,

409
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: and it's with what Josh Allen can do in the

410
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: boot game, because that's been I mean him rushing. Yeah,

411
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: well that's been an issue for the Colts this season.

412
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's averaging I have Ryan Tannehill PTSD STA. Yeah, Josh,

413
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's averaging five and a half yards per carry,

414
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary five yards per carry. But the Bills run

415
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: running backs are not super efficient. Zach lost three point

416
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. But Allan on that boot game

417
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: is so good. He's got such a good feel for

418
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: when to take off, when to push it downfield, when

419
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: to check it down. That is something that the Colts

420
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: are going to have to be very cognizant of in

421
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: this game, because, like you said, Larry, you've got PTSD

422
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: from Ryan Tannehill. I mean we've seen even Trevor Lawrence

423
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: last week against the Colts had some success getting outside

424
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: the pocket and taken off for those eight yard chunk games.

425
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: Here's my factor right here. Kenny Moore, the second is

426
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: the best run stopping corner in the end, not even close,

427
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: not even close. Leads the league in run stops by cornerbacks,

428
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: which I wasn't even sure was a specific stat, but

429
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: that was brought to my attention last week. So I

430
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: think this is a huge week for the involvement and

431
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: getting the pressure from Kenny Moore. Also, Bobby Okaraka is

432
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: on another level. The emergence of Bobby at lineas I

433
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: mean that, this to me gives me a ton of us.

434
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: I would love to Joe. I would love for Joe

435
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: Dick's mound upon that as well. But those are kind

436
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: of my two guys obviously, Yes upfront, DeForest Grover, Alquitymant

437
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: all those guys, Yes, Darius Slonard, But those are kind

438
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: of my two X factors in this defense. Also, I

439
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: was really impressed with Andrew Sundejo against the Jackson. Yeah,

440
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: but he's laying the helmet miss my god. Yes, but yeah, Joe,

441
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: jump in there your thoughts there defensively stopping the run,

442
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: in particular containing Josh Allen in a very dynamic Bill's offense. Yeah,

443
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: and I'll go to Sundejo first. Boy. I love watching

444
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: him play. You talk about setting the tone and bringing

445
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: some physicality from that safety position. He is awful fun

446
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: to watch. But Larah, I really think you're onto something

447
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: and that you know one. Josh Allen can scramble, But

448
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: to me, he's a scrambler that wants to throw first

449
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: then run. And I'm okay with giving up a six

450
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: eight ten yards scramble to Josh Allen. I don't want

451
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: him scrambling back there to his right and then throwing

452
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: it over your head for fifty to step onto. Yeah,

453
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: and I think you know Kenny Moore on the perimeter.

454
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: I think o'karakay again has taken his game to another level.

455
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Won his intelligence and smarts, but he's played so physical,

456
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: a lot more physical the last five six weeks, which

457
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: I've been good to see. But the speed of the

458
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: Colts defense is built to contain Allen, and I'll be

459
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: interested to see what we do from a scheme standpoint

460
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: in terms of do we bring pressure. We brought a

461
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: lot of pressure against Jacksonville. It was awful successful, especially

462
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: on third down. We rushed five or six guys and

463
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen potentially being somebody that's gonna try to

464
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: dance around there. He's a little bit more athletic. I'll

465
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: be interested to see do we bring pressure and do

466
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: we bring some more edge pressure either from a linebacker

467
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: blitzed on the outside, Kenny Moore coming from the squad

468
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: who's a good blitzer, and let some of those guys

469
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: have some one on one matchups and hope they win.

470
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: And a guy I want to shout out as Rock

471
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: you've seen, I mean, he's had a really good football season. Boy,

472
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: he's taking a lot of flack in into the last

473
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: couple of years, but he's you know, and so do

474
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: you man up? You know you've seen on maybe their

475
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: number two fiver and then you bractice Stefon Diggs with

476
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: help over the top. Be interested to see if we

477
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: we show some different coverages and some different schemes on

478
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: the back end, and maybe we have in this year

479
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: and maybe we've been saving, you know for a Buffalo

480
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: Bills offense. It would be a good time to kind

481
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: of break those out in this game and a game

482
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: that the Colts really do need to win. Because this

483
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: this game, if you're looking at these next two against

484
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Bucks, you want to if if

485
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: you all things equal, you have to win one of them.

486
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: The Bills is the game you want to win because

487
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: that helps your AFC record in terms of a playoff

488
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: tiebreaker more than beating the Bucks would with the NFC.

489
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: So again, you want to win both of them if

490
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: you're only going to win one of them, which again

491
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Colts will only win one. But again,

492
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: what are you saying? JJ? Gunned ahead? If you have

493
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: to win one of them. You want to win the Bills.

494
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: You want to beat the Bills, JJ, JJ. I hear you,

495
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to say that. You'd rather

496
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: beat the Bills and beat Tom Braids. Yeah, yeah, what

497
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: are we doing? That's that's Joe. I never played. So

498
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: that's where you got to step in here. Hey, Joe

499
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: was talking about athletes. There's a couple of athletes there

500
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: in the rights household, and that Tampa Bay game is

501
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: going to come on Thanksgiving weekend? Joe, is there a

502
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: family turkey trot planned? I know you guys have done

503
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: this in the past, and I've seen your older kids

504
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: are starting to get involved in these little family road

505
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: races going. I know I'll be down to the old

506
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: drumstick dash in Broad Ripple. What's the Rights family plan? Well,

507
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: as I've shared with you, Lara, either fortunately or unfortunately,

508
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: I married into the family that ran five k's on holiday,

509
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: so we will be in the region Highland, Indiana for

510
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: the Pumpkin Plod night. My son aj who's eight, he

511
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: ran a you'll appreciate this. He ran a five k

512
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: about a month ago, had an eight ten clip as

513
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: an eight year old oh man involve in the race,

514
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: and we were trying to catch up with them, and

515
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: Joe's pushing two kids in a stroller and we're like,

516
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: where do you go? Where do you going? We thought

517
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: he'd like kind of hopped off, you know, half way through,

518
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: but he finished the race, and so yeah, I'm fired

519
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: up for him. I told him he's got to break

520
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: eight minutes. It'll be nice and cold. Be a good

521
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: day to build mental toughness in the Rights household. The

522
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: pumpkin plod might be my favorite term for a Thanksgiving

523
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: Day road race. I love it, no doubt. Jill Rights

524

583
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: You know, if you're a football fan, I don't know

584
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: what kind of fan I'm trying to talk about, but

585
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: the people, the fans that watch Hard Knocks, they have

586
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger depth. I think as football fans,

587
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: you know that just go out and watch on Sunday.

588
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: So we've got to think coming up. Hard Knocks in

589
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Season brought to you by NFL Films, and we are

590
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: sitting down now with a boss on this project, which

591
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: I like, we're gonna get some answers. Director producer of

592
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: NFL Films Hard Knocks in Season, Emily Leightner is here.

593
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: How are you. I've seen your face a lot over

594
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I'm glad you're here. Yeah,

595
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. I'm really excited to be here.

596
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: It's been kind of a really fun season so far,

597
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: and now we're ready to kick off kind of show

598
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: one and get going for the Hard Knocks season, which

599
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: kind of starts in between the regular season. It's been

600
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: really fun riding. We needed this as football fans. I

601
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: gotta start. We got one hundred and one question though,

602
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with this one real quick because

603
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: I thought about it on the drive over. How much

604
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: negotiation do you have NFL Films with the co As

605
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: far as you know, it'd be really great if we

606
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: could get this in we caught it, but I mean,

607
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: how much negotiation wiggle room do you have with these colts?

608
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: Origin it all based upon the Colts and what they're

609
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: they're driving out. As far as content, well, first of all,

610
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: I'd say that the Colts PR staff has been awesome

611
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: with us, and we work with them daily kind of.

612
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: I know that Matt Connie has been great in his team,

613
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: and Christian Edwards works with us and me Steve Trout,

614
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Courtland Bragg, and Terrell Riley will pitch them kind of

615
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: content stuff and big hey like can we get go

616
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: with this guy home with this guy or wire up

617
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: this guy this this week, and they've been kind of like,

618
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, or maybe you want to do this guy.

619
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: They've been It's really a collaborative effort with all of us,

620
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: and I mean, I can't say how how helpful they've

621
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: been and awesome, but I would say it's definitely working

622
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: together with them in conjunction with your staff, which has

623
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: been amazing. It's not only the first time that HBO

624
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: is doing an in season Hard Knocks, it's also the

625
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: first time that the Colts have been the subject of

626
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: a Hard Knox in any facet. Typically it's the preseason,

627
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: through training camp, all of that, and coach Miike said,

628
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was mister Erse and Chris Ballard came

629
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: to him and collaboratively, collaboratively all discussed it to agree

630
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: that this would be a good time to put this

631
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: team on display in a different format. What were the

632
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: conversations for you guys in terms of executing an in

633
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: season hard knocks and taking hard knocks in a different direction,

634
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: embedding yourselves within a team in the thick of the season. Well,

635
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: I think it's something that we've been excited about doing

636
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: for a long time. I mean, I know I've been

637
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: told that Steve Sable talked about doing this since like

638
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: Vince Lombardi back in the day, Like it's kind of

639
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: been a like holy grail for us at Films. And

640
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: then in terms of the Cults organization, I think we

641
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: were in conversations with all those people early and they

642
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: were just so forward thinking and they get it, Like

643
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: everyone here just understands what this how special this season

644
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: could be, and what an opportunity this is, and work

645
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: with them has all been a pleasure. But I think

646
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of a special connection we have here with

647
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: something we've always wanted to do and something that your

648
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: organization has seen as the right time to do and

649
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: have been awesome and hopefully, you know, we keep this

650
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: win trying going and we have something special show. So

651
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: Emily give us a little preview of what fans can

652
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: expect to watch, not only in the premiere but this season.

653
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: Because the question I had was, how have you noticed

654
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: the players be different in season versus in training camp?

655
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: And as it relates to storylines, because training camp there's

656
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: obviously more downtime for players to show their personality more so,

657
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: what have you seen in terms of how players how

658
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: it's been different for presenting players in this Oh for sure.

659
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: I think with training camp kind of the story of

660
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: the NFL revolves a lot aroundabout guys trying to get

661
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: a job in the NFL. And what's kind of nice

662
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: about in the season is now it changes to everyone

663
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: who has a job. Every week they're fighting to win

664
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: to keep that job because winning affects everyone. It affects

665
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: their families, it affects their teammates, it affects the organization.

666
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: So you can kind of shift the focus to everyone

667
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: who's starting on Sundays as opposed to in training camp.

668
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Not a lot of those guys are playing in the games.

669
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: A lot of the guys who are playing are fighting

670
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: for jobs, So it's kind of just a little different

671
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: focus on the perspective. It's still the story of making

672
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: it into the NFL, but I would say it's part

673
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: two of the journey where it's these guys every Sunday.

674
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: A win makes a huge difference in their lives and

675
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: the team's life, and the loss makes another different, huge

676
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: difference as opposed to like they're more individual stories during

677
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: the training camp, and we know a lot of the

678
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: big personalities that there are on this team. A lot

679
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: of cult stands very familiar with them. And you do

680
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: still get a chance to get a lot of the

681
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: off the field stuff. I know a few of the

682
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: things you guys have been working on. I want to

683
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: give away too much, I'll let you say that, but

684
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: of course we know big personality Darius Leonard, t Y Hilton,

685
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, DeForrest Buckner. Are those type of guys who

686
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: maybe are some of the guys you can give us

687
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: a little tease on that have emerged as some of

688
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: the big prominent guys who you've followed, or guys who

689
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of erupted and positioned themselves as Okay, these are

690
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: going to be dynamic guys, whether it's on game day

691
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: practices or outside of the facility that you've featured. Well,

692
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: I think that's where we were so excited to actually

693
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: do the Colts and when everyone agreed to that is

694
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: because they have so many big personalities that not a

695
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: lot of people in the national stage know about. And

696
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned some big ones. I mean Darius the forest

697
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: and then Carson is probably the other big one as

698
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: well as coach Reich. And what I really love about

699
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: working on this show and bringing it to the season

700
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: is how we get to humanize these guys as you

701
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: see them under the helmets, but you know, hopefully if

702
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: we do our jobs right, you get to see more

703
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: than that and get to know them, you know, and

704
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: their families off the field, and get to see you

705
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: know them after games or before games or prepping for that,

706
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: both in the facility and doing their jobs, but also

707
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: kind of more as the family team. And I'll say

708
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: that's something I've noticed, you know, in the beginning of

709
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: this season, is this team has a lot of family

710
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: vibes and that culture here is really really cool and

711
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: special and something we hope to showcase. That's Emily Lightner.

712
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: She is the Prouser director in season Hard knocks. I

713
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: can't wait for this first episode to come out, but

714
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about going to players houses,

715
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: getting that intimate stuff out of this facility. You know, dinners,

716
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: we saw some stop plus you guys have been on

717
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: the road following Jim Mersy around a little bit. How's

718
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: that been. That's been really cool. I personally haven't been

719
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: on those ones yet, but I've seen the footage Steve's

720
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: been on those and he is a cool dude. Man.

721
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: I think I'm really excited to show that side of

722
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: him because he's just a very unique owner and I

723
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: think to what I was speaking to before, he just

724
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: understands in his forward thinking in terms of this organization.

725
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: So we've done some fun stuff with Jim er say

726
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: that I'm excited to show people. So what's the timeline

727
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: for in season? And how does that how's that different

728
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: from training camp? Because I know training camp sometimes you'll

729
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: put stuff in episod it's like almost day of to

730
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: get it out there. But with the games being such

731
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: big events in the season, how does that Sunday timeline

732
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: affect what goes into the show. So I think you

733
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head the games, say a

734
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: lot about what goes into the show, but I think

735
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: we also are trying to tell the story of the

736
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: week based on you know, who's has like a mic

737
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: on in the game or who might have a big game,

738
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: And like I said, we're focusing on stars who are

739
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: going to be playing, So no matter what, you're going

740
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: to see some of these guys on the field. But

741
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the timeline, I think our editors back

742
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: home do an amazing job of as soon as the

743
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: game ends on Sunday, they're going through the footage and

744
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: putting it together and speaking with everyone who's putting together

745
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: at the body of the show. So it's kind of

746
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: all I think Steve Sable referred to as building an

747
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: airplane in flight. So everyone's kind of working together, and

748
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: if something big happens in the game, we're kind of

749
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: talking to each other and being like, hey, we at

750
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: this from this guy this week. You might be able

751
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: to use that to pay this off in the game.

752
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: But so it is a lot of kind of communications

753
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: and Sundays a wild day, so so is Monday and Tuesday. Emily,

754
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: what season of working on Hard Knocks is this for you?

755
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: What are the different teams you've been a part of.

756
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: So this is I think Hard Knock specific my eighth.

757
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: I started back when we did at Lanta in training

758
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: camp and have been on pretty much every season in

759
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: various capacities, and then in season have directed a couple

760
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: with for other shows that kind of translate to this

761
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, I've been on eight all the

762
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: way up to this past year with the Cowboys. I

763
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: was working on that one for training camp as well.

764
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: And your crew you mentioned a couple of people who

765
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: are involved because you guys have been on the road

766
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: with mister Ursay, You've been at players houses, you have

767
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: a whole crew on game day. You're doing all of

768
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: these different things because in addition to the football, I

769
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: know you're also wanting to tell stories of the community

770
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: involvement and all of the outreach and then the personal side.

771
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: How many people are having their hands on these episodes

772
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: over the course of this season, from the people here

773
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: on site to the editors everywhere. Oh, it takes a

774
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: village for sure, and um, well we I think we

775
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: do have a smaller footprint here in season than we

776
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: do out a train. Oh, it's very small. There's only

777
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: like three of you out there. It seems they're like

778
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: nine on Wednesday. Yes, like they're like nine ten people. Now, Yeah,

779
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: we keep we keep it. It depends on the day

780
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: and kind of what we're doing. But um, I think

781
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: it is a small but like you said, we like

782
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: to be everywhere. Yeah, we're kind of with the players

783
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: when they walk in, hoping to go home with them

784
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: and kind of watching them walk out and covering everything.

785
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: And then you know, there's also a part where like

786
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: their technology um allows us to kind of be in

787
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: so many rooms with you know, a smaller amount of people.

788
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: One thing when we do as Cults Productions will Mike

789
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: up a guy for on game day and we'll hear

790
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of the banter on the cues that

791
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: they give the rest of the guys on letting them know, hey,

792
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm Mike today, and there's some there's some certain verbiage

793
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: that they will help alert the rest the guys. Do

794
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: you guys, are there some cues or there's some tells

795
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: that guys how they notify the rest of the crew.

796
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: For sure, Sure, I think they're very aware of making

797
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: sure that they're not the one that gets a conversation

798
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: that they shouldn't. I will say. They also bring the

799
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: energy to on this team. I mean you mentioned Darius

800
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: when he is Pops on the sideline. Man, he is

801
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: just fun to watch. Now he behinds is another one too.

802
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys have and like, I know we

803
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: saw one of the fun things when we had like

804
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: the sneak peaks. You guys got the team meeting reaction

805
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: for the Danny Pinter touchdown. I know you guys were

806
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: all over that. And you know when offensive linemen get

807
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: that fired up like that is infectious. So I'm excited

808
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: to see like kind of how that has woven in

809
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: over the storyline. And I think too, like generally that's

810
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: part of being here for the whole season. Is a

811
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: lot of times guys do forget and we hope to

812
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: fade into the background a little bit for them, so

813
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: it's not super obvious, and that generally has happened throughout

814
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: the course of a season. But yeah, getting those reactions

815
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: and just especially if Pinter's touchdown was a great one,

816
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: just and that's also part of the family culture here too,

817
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: like you just everyone's pumped for each other. It's great,

818
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: It's it's what I love to show. Emily, who have

819
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: you got to know and really appreciate from doing this now,

820
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, going into the debut, but just players, coaches,

821
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: staff personnel, who have you really come to appreciate that

822
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: you think fans will really like to see on the screen.

823
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, every working with everyone has been phenomenal

824
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: with this organization, everyone is really really awesome to work with.

825
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: On my side, your PR team, they are right, But

826
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: in terms of what the fans are going to see,

827
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Carson Wentz and his family have

828
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: been really wonderful and I think I'm hoping that everyone

829
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: gets to see a different side of them, and they've

830
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: really opened up to us, which has been awesome and lovely.

831
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: And I've been loving the Buckner family as well, are

832
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: ones that I've really enjoyed getting to know. And then

833
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: but even coach, you know, Coach Rank has been really

834
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: really awesome and lovely and are one of our directors,

835
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: Courtland Bragg has a wonderful relationship with him, and they've

836
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: all just really welcomed us and it's been it's been

837
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: a great exp Emily, what do you do with you

838
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: guys are out here? Early we were looking at you

839
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: had a crew of three out there. A guy used

840
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: to work with us, Harrison was out here for a

841
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: while and then it started. I mean we are all

842
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: in short so whether we're you know and out of

843
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: snow on the ground, what do you do with that footage?

844
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Because the premiere on November seventeenth, I think, um, that's

845
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: something that we as a challenge for us editorially. I

846
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: think we can use that because it's also been you know,

847
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: unseasonably warm in November UM so far. But I also

848
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: think who's to say we can't flashback gotcha, gotcha back

849
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: to week two, um or something like that. But that

850
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: also just depends on the story of the week. We

851
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: really do like to keep it documentary and in the

852
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: story of the week as well. So, UM, I think

853
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: some of those you know, there could be something that

854
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: happened in week two that pays off in week twelve, UM,

855
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: and we have that to go back to. UM. So

856
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the expanse who gets more

857
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: camera time Lara Overton or j Stefan I would say,

858
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: like a hard tie. But yeah, all right, guys, I

859
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: mean on how you guys you know, want to like

860
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: butter me up. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I've actually talked to

861
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: Bubba Vantron. I'm now gonna run it, gonna be running

862
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: special teams. You know, I'm gonna be involved in the

863
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: uh you know, punt team and getting myself some opportunities.

864
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: Pretty good. You called Zyr Franklin's punt block. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

865
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: that's what That's what they didn't tell you when Zaire

866
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: said that they were working on that. You know, on

867
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: Friday's practice, I was the one out there helping with

868
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: all of that. Yes, exactly, yeah, right right, that's exactly

869
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: what it is. So this is great. I just want

870
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: to find out because there are we gonna have live

871
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: hard knocks one day? You know what I mean? Is

872
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: it gonna be like I alution of this? Now it's

873
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: in season and it was such a great thing, but

874
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: you know, preseason it started in training campus stuff. Now

875
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: we're going what is it gonna be like live hard knocks?

876
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: What are we gonna have the miked up coaching staff

877
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: or something you can you can watch on your television

878
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: role however you want. You know what I mean, We're

879
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: getting there. I mean, look, I think this is as

880
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: pretty close to live as you can get. And if

881
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: I could give our editing team props. Giving them as

882
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: much time as they can makes makes the story pop

883
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,439
Speaker 1: with the team, and they really know how to bring

884
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: out the content we get into into a nice, fulfilled story.

885
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: So I have no idea if we'll ever get a

886
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: live Hard Knocks. I'm pretty good with the timeline we

887
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: have right now. It's crazy enough. Well, we know that

888
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: the season premieres on Wednesday night and then you guys

889
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: will go through the end of the season as long

890
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: as this run gun goes. So how much of a

891
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: selfish rooting interest and do you have and wanting this

892
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: thing to go as far into the wintertime, even into

893
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: February if they can take it. Oh, we actually we're

894
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: saying it's coach Rank when he walked out to walk it.

895
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: We're all Colts fans. We are rooting for the Colts

896
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: hard on the side. I mean I even find myself

897
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: on the sidelines giving like yeah, I can't can't help myself,

898
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: but you know, we want we want them to go

899
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: as deep and make a run here in the offseason

900
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: as as anyone in the postseason. I guess, um, excuse me,

901
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're definitely all Cults fans. It's funny I

902
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: saw him worried colts here. I mean many times it

903
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: didn't start out that way, but then I kind of

904
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: shifted it into se Trout's got a big old horse.

905
