4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: Here's what it all starts right here.

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,360

00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to another installment of Inside Football here

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: with Rick venturi I'm Matt Taylor, and we come to

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: you from Grand Park in Westfield, side of Colt's training camp,

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by course and fire and Security, and

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: we're right back at at tapping into Rick's nearly three

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: decades of coaching experience between major college football and the

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: National Football League today recapping preseason game number one in Buffalo,

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: recapping practice on a Tuesday, and also looking ahead to

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: joint practices with the Bears coming up on Wednesday and

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Thursday nights of this week ahead of that second preseason

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: game between those two teams at Lucas Oil Stadium. Rick,

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: welcome back to camp. How was your Buffalo experience over

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the weekend?

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: Man, it was a heck of an experience.

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: I feel like it's November out here today.

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: Are we in the last part of the season, right?

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: No, it was really, it was really fun and I

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: know you feel just like I do, just like my

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: coaching days, it's always good to get one under your belt.

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, you know, And it was really I

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: think there was so much excitement with Anthony getting the start,

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: and the only thing greater now is that is that

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: Shane just announced, yeah, moments ago he would just be

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: the starter for the season, which I'm thrilled to death with.

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: I think that's absolutely the right call. But I really,

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed that opener in Buffalo. Real special day

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: to get started.

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, special performance. Special guy me sitting here maybe seven

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: feet from us right now signing autographs well after practice,

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: so that's kind of the scene in the background here.

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, he finished the game seven for twelve past

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards. We all know about that interception on

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: the first drive of the game, kind of set up

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: that first score for the Buffalo Bills, but some miscommunication

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: on that RPO play. After the game, Richardson raised his hand,

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie raised his hand. Shane Sticken multiple times raised

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: his hand, all three of them. It's good to see,

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: kind of taking responsibility for the miscommunication there, But I thought,

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: all told, Richardson found himself in some adversity in those

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: three drives, backed up at your own seven on the

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: first drive, some penalties wiped out the Colts with a

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: red zone opportunity, some drop passes, you had a misfuel goal. Overall,

50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: What did you take away from Richardson's first taste in

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: the league.

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: There, Well, I thought it was imperfect but impressive. I'm

53
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: like the two eyes, you know, and I was like you,

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, when you're around him, you cannot help but

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: pull from him. I think a lot of my nerves

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: going into the game. Guys are kidding me about I

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: was a little bit tight.

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Were they personal?

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: Was no, it was just I wanted this kid to

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: succeed because you like him.

61
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They're kind of person.

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: Has nothing to do being a company guy or anything else.

63
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: We all know the talent level, but he's the kind

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: of guy that you want. It's just exciting to grow with.

65
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: And I can't, Like I told you the other day,

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: the autumn of my life in football is going to

67
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: be pleasant watching it grow.

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: Really, it really is.

69
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: You know and and you know the thing about it is,

70
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: I thought that one of the critical issues in greatness

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: at quarterback is overcoming adversity and having that selective amnesia.

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean, after the bad play, and regardless of whose

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: faults was, the ball comes out of his hand, you know,

74
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: he he he didn't. It didn't bother him. He went

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: to the next and despite being backed up, he took

76
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: us on long drives. He moved the football and really,

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: if we don't have Pierce's drop and Pharaoh Brown's hold

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: in the red zone, he brings us on those long

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: drives and finishes them off.

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: And you saw, you saw the you saw the debility there.

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean, the five yard run on the zone reed

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: is one of the best runs you'll see this year.

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: He as we saw, who's a legitimate top flight defensive end,

84
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: he runs right through him. Should have been a five

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: yard loss. And then he trucks the corner. I mean,

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: he lowers his shoulder on Elim who's a legitimate start

87
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: at the NFL. And it's again it's a play that

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: should have been minus five.

89
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: That is plus five.

90
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: I thought, he, I thought, he really, you know, he

91
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: threw a seed in there to grandson I heard Grandson

92
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: talk about later, is that you just got to get

93
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: used to that ball coming out of there because it

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: comes out of there so quick and so tight, and

95
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: it came out of that window right there. So I

96
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: think we saw that, we saw the beautiful flutter throw

97
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: to Pierce. That that really Alec got to come up

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: with those balls because that's a terrific downfield shot. And

99
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: then you know, you saw the running ability again, the

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: poise I thought. I think the thing that has impressed

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: me a lot is it doesn't take anyone to know

102
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: that he has the metrics and just pure athleticism, I

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: mean the pure but to me where he so much

104
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: better than I anticipated. He brings quarterback skills. I mean

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: he he is very poised in the pocket. That's a

106
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: big surprise to me. I thought he would be one

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: look and go.

108
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Has he developed those things since Mini camp or did

109
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: you see those things right away?

110
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: It's getting better?

111
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: And no, I didn't see those things right away, but

112
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: I think you know, it takes a while. You watch

113
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: the cumulative performance over and over. But Shane said from

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: the beginning that he had pocket awareness, and but it's

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: really shown he's not just looking to take off and

116
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: go h and he has that tight compact delivery. Now

117
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: what's what's what he's gonna have to grow with, and

118
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: you're only going to grow by playing.

119
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Is developing, you know.

120
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: That anticipation and that processing, and that's learning to read

121
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: NFL defenses.

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: And he's only going to get that by playing.

123
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: And what every once in a while when you see

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: a ball saale or like the interception he hitched and then.

125
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: Threw it off balance is whatever.

126
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: Whatever he's on time and whenever he's in rhythm, that

127
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: ball is out of there and it's a good tight spiral.

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: So anticipation is important. I always say this.

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: When you're playing in the Saturday game, in the college game,

130
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: you throw to open receivers. In the NFL, you anticipate

131
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: and you throw receivers open. And so that is a process.

132
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: I think number two is I think learning a little

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: bit of touch, taken a little bit off the ball

134
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: at times, which I think he will get naturally. And

135
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: I think the third thing, and this is hard for

136
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 3: a great athlete. I didn't have this problem when I played,

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: but hard for a great athlete, and that is no

138
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: end to fold them, you know, And he said it

139
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: in another way, he said, I can't be reckless with

140
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: the ball when you're at a real disadvantage that you

141
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: can't get out of. You just just dirt it, throw

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: it in the dirt, go to the next one. So

143
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: but I think we'll get that stuff. I'm really happy

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: that Shane has the you know, has the no I

145
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: don't say it's courage, but he just has the foresight

146
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: that this is our quarterback.

147
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Are you Are you surprised by the timing of the move,

148
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: kind of taking the doubt out of everything moving forward

149
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: and this is it.

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: I'm a little a little surprised in that I thought

151
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: that might be maybe he would wait another week.

152
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: But I'm because as of Sunday, we still didn't know.

153
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: It was tentative.

154
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, right, And I feel so good about

155
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: this because now we all know, and more importantly, the

156
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: team knows. You know, so once you know, I think

157
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: that's the most important thing is that you have your

158
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: team settled and ready to go in that respect. So,

159
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: you know, I just feel so good about it. And

160
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: I know there's gonna be those moments where there is

161
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: you know, a ball.

162
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: That sales, a ball that's intercepted.

163
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: But I also see, and I believe this was all

164
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: my heart that at some point you're going to see greatness.

165
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about that. What else did you take

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: away from the starting offensive unit outside of quarterback, because

167
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: we talked about it. On the second and third possessions,

168
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: the Colts racked up twenty one plays, one hundred and

169
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: eighteen yards of offense, eight first downs, even though obviously

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: neither of those possessions resulted in the points.

171
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know, from a negative standpoint, one of the

172
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: things that we got to get better at is finishing

173
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: drives and scoring in the red zone. But it really

174
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: came down to two plays, you know, Pierce drops it

175
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: and Farrell Brown has the holding or else we do score.

176
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: I thought the offense moved the ball exceptionally well, and

177
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: they were backed up, but they made a lot of yards,

178
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: which is important in a preseason game. How you know,

179
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: those are the important things. I think they did really

180
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: well there. I thought that our offensive line already, this

181
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: is just my first observation, already looks technically better and

182
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: more angry like they did in two twenty one. I

183
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: do feel that schematically and Sperano has had an effect

184
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: on them already. I also liked one thing, one thing,

185
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: and this maybe doesn't mean anything, except it matters to

186
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: me because I know body language on the play that

187
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: Farrell brown holes and Richardson takes it down to the

188
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: one inch line and you know, we get a callback.

189
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: But the first guy down to pick him up was Nelson, Okay, And.

190
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: To me, that just that was a cool thing to me,

191
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: you know.

192
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: And I thought, particularly our left side, Ryman just looks different.

193
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: He just looks like he is a year older, got

194
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: some weight on him, got some football behind him, and

195
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: so between him Nelson and Kelly, you know, I thought

196
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: that looked really good.

197
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: I didn't think the right side was bad. I thought

198
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: Freeland had his moments.

199
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: You know, you can see where his growth has to be.

200
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: But I thought our left side looked very, very good.

201
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Did you see what you wanted to see out of

202
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: Evan Hall and Deon Jackson? Because if you play a

203
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: game tomorrow, like we always talk about on this podcast,

204
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: those those are your horses.

205
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: Well that's right, and you have to as a coach.

206
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: You can't worry about what could have been or would

207
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: have been.

208
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: Or will be. Yeah, you have to get ready as

209
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: if you're going to play a game.

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: As I said, I've always you know, but he's always

211
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: had a little bit of trouble stand on the field.

212
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: But I've always liked Dion. I've always thought that Deon

213
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Jackson was a guy that could play in the NFL.

214
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: Maybe not sixty minutes, but he could play. And you know,

215
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: he can't. And I was kind of surprised because there

216
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: was a question whether he was going to play.

217
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: He had that really good Sunday practice.

218
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was thrilled, but then he missed the week.

219
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was the game.

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: When he popped up in there, you know, and he's

221
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: over five yards of carry. I mean, you know, you know,

222
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: and they're playing against Buffalo's top flight guys. I mean,

223
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: there might have been a couple of guys out, but

224
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: that's a that's a top flight number six defense, number

225
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: four against the score. I mean, that is a good defense.

226
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: And so when you when you when you have pretty

227
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: good numbers, it matters right there, he right now would

228
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: be your all purpose And where I do see Hall

229
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: is in those screen situations, through down situations, cut a

230
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: nice screen and go, you know, I think he's more

231
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: of a change up on the.

232
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: Loose play type stuff.

233
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: And then I think if we keep going this way,

234
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: if we come running back by committee, which you know,

235
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: if we're playing a game now, I think it will

236
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: be important for us.

237
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: We might have to go out and do something. I

238
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: think what we'll need we would.

239
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: Need to have a short yardage bang or the hammer.

240
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: You know, somebody like DeAndre Forman. I'm not talking about

241
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: a great player, but somebody that can move the pile

242
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: on third and one. And I think that's probably the

243
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: way you're gonna have to go. But you know, those

244
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: guys are coming up to the standard that I expect.

245
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: That's Rick Ventury And this is inside Football. We're at

246
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Colts training camp. I'm Matt Taylor recapping the Buffalo game.

247
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: The starting defense played a couple of series, allowed that touchdown,

248
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: obviously after sudden change, but they bounced back the next

249
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: couple of drives, forced to three and out, headlined by

250
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: a good breakup there by Darryl Baker Junior. Overall, what

251
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: did you see out of the effort of the starting

252
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: defense minus the breakdown and contain on that touchdown?

253
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I you know, first of all, I'd

254
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: like to see him play a lot more. Yeah, and

255
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get that. I mean the next

256
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: five days. My god, we got three three dual practices

257
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: in two games.

258
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: So you know it's heating up.

259
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's heating up. It's really going to heat up.

260
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: You know.

261
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: The one thing that has to improve, the one thing

262
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: they got caught, and it's a teaching moment. It sudden

263
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: change that happens early in the game. You got to respond.

264
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: And then the other thing is you got to stop

265
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: me in the red zone. We were thirty second on defense.

266
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: And even though it's one play, one isolated play, don't

267
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: have to make a big deal out of it, but

268
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: you lost contained down there and you let him score.

269
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: And so that is a big area of improvement. So

270
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: I think if I'm coaching today, I'm really hammering that

271
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: series right there, right now. They came back really well

272
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: with the three and out, and again I thought Baker

273
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: continues to compete, continues to play on that key third down,

274
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: He has a good pass breakup, stuffs the receiver at

275
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: the line, gets a hell of a pass breakup, and

276
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: we get off three and out. So you know, I

277
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: saw some really good things there. The only thing I'm

278
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: still not feeling We got it a little bit with

279
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: the second unit. The only thing with that first unit,

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm still not feeling that pass rush. And so you know,

281
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: that's what I'm looking here in the next five days.

282
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: If we can generate that, we've got to be able

283
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: to generate more there.

284
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: What schematic wrinkles did you like in the game, Yeah,

285
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: on both sides.

286
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was actually a couple of things. There was

287
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: two things that really stood out to me. One I

288
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: was a little critical a year ago, and I would

289
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: continue to be if we continue to play that vanilla

290
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: over every down. You can't can't play that over defense

291
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: every single down. There has to be just like there

292
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: has to be variants in coverage, variants and blitzes, variants

293
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: in front. Well, I saw us jump into the barefront,

294
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: which has you know, kind of become really popular again.

295
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: And it's a great run front, it's a great first

296
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: down front, and I saw us and I never saw

297
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: us use it a year ago at all. So I

298
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: saw a little bit there. And then something that I

299
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: think Sperano and Steiken have brought here.

300
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: And it's very simple. You have to be a geek

301
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: like me to even follow it.

302
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: Okay, on their weak side zone play and they and

303
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: they made some yardage.

304
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: A year ago.

305
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: It was always just zone blocking. And what would happen

306
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: is the noseguard would be really off set to Kelly's shoulder,

307
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: and Kelly couldn't get him because he was too far

308
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: off set. Nelson goes up for the linebacker and so

309
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: there was always a guy in her face. Well, they

310
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: use what I call sea blocking, and this might sound simple,

311
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: but we never did it.

312
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that.

313
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: What instead of blocking its zonne Nelson came down and

314
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: took the nose and Kelly pulled around him.

315
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay, and so Goda's going up to the second level.

316
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: I went up to the second level. It's just an

317
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: exchange of assignments. Yeah, I call it sea because it's

318
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: sea pull. But the beauty of that is all of

319
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: a sudden, now we established a wall there where you

320
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: could get downhill. There wasn't somebody in your face right away.

321
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: So you know, it was those two little things at

322
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: this point.

323
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: But they matter to me.

324
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: No doubt. Yeah, they all matter. And certainly trying to

325
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: get that running game like it was two years ago

326
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Obviously last year kind of fell

327
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: off there in terms of production. Now that we're talking

328
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: about the offensive line again, I mean, as soon as

329
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: that first unit stepped out, offense immediately gave up two sacks.

330
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Do the Colts have enough pieces in depth up front

331
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: right now if you're going.

332
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: Into a game.

333
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's really a question mark, you know,

334
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I have to say it like

335
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: it was. It wasn't very good at all, it was.

336
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean, minshew, the first two plays, I thought the

337
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: walls of Jericho were.

338
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: By the way, we apologize the.

339
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: November but no, to answer your question, I think you know,

340
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: a Freeland. I think we'll be able to play in spots.

341
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: He played with the ones, so he wasn't in very

342
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: long with that, you know. I mean he's a guy.

343
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: I think where he is is where probably where Ryman

344
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: was last year. They're very very similar, very tall, lean,

345
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: you know, basketball looking guys, a little bit of undersize.

346
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: But you know, hopefully he didn't have to start like

347
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: Ryman did.

348
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: And the guy I'm going to tell you the guy

349
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: that really impressed me I've told you this off air

350
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: was Hambright number sixty four. I was really because when

351
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: you looked at that at the game and we're doing

352
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: the game and we're involved in just kind of the result,

353
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: and it just looks terrible, and a lot of it was.

354
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: But when I went back and looked at the tape

355
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: yesterday morning and really studied it, I thought him, right,

356
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: number sixty four was really impressive on the edge, you know,

357
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean he block guys would go inside, he'd take

358
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: him down. I mean, he stood out and you know,

359
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: again you had to watch a tape to get it.

360
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: And he looks to me like he can be a

361
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: swing guard and tackle type kid.

362
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: So at least we came out of there.

363
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: I think with one guy that I feel like I

364
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: might be able to play with down the road, and

365
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: then includes including Freeland. I'm not I gotta see Freeland

366
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: a little bit more, but I think he has the

367
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: tools to develop the rest of those guys.

368
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: Right now, way below.

369
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: Par that's Rick vent Teria right there. Something to monitor.

370
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. This is inside football. Josh Downs in

371
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: this game, really really active. Two catches for twenty nine yards,

372
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: had some clutch yards after the catch, returning punts, returning kicks.

373
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's really good. Is he in store

374
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: for a big rookie year.

375
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: He really is. You know, I think we're going to

376
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: be really happy with him. And I'm really glad that

377
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: the staff got him in there and you know, whether

378
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: was returning catching balls, just get him in there, get

379
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: him playing football for the Colts. I noticed today he

380
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 3: was in the starting lineup, you know, with Pierce and

381
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 3: with Pittman, and I think that's definitely a go too here.

382
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: He is a slot guy that is going to be

383
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: able to catch and run. He has that real shorter

384
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: he's quicker than fast. He's not slow, but he's quicker

385
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: than fast. He can get open in short areas. Again,

386
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: I think when you get into real ball and you

387
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: get into those third and fives, you're going to see

388
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: him excel in the option game, in the jerk game,

389
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: what I call the jerk game, all those little finesse things,

390
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: that quickness really matters.

391
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: And inside the red zone that's so important. So when

392
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: windows are so tight in the field shrinks.

393
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: See, I think, what you have to me and Pittman

394
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: and Piers, you know, they're bigger guys, and I think

395
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 3: you can establish, particularly with this quarterback, fifty to fifty balls.

396
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: So what happens is the safety start leaning out wide

397
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: to the fifty to fifty ball and close to the line.

398
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: For the run.

399
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 3: So what that does is isolates your middle linebacker and

400
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: those guys on your slot. And that's exactly You're exactly right,

401
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: that's where you can really really excel. And I just

402
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: really of course, we liked him very much coming out

403
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: there was you know, we were thrilled with that pick

404
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: on the night that we made it. So but he

405
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: has come in and confirmed that he and Richardson have confirmed.

406
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: What we hope for.

407
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: Final couple of things, Let's go back to the defense.

408
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: What'd you think of the play of the young corners. Baker,

409
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: as we said, had the past breakup rush, had the

410
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: pick six off the deflection, Brent said, some good moments

411
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: and coverage. Let me ask you this, did the cornerback

412
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: depth change after one preseason game.

413
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's necessarily changed, but what I

414
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: will say, what I like and I think that this defense,

415
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: this defense this year, the success is going to come

416
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: down to two things. How we play on the edges.

417
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: That is, can we generate edge rush? Can we generate

418
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: edge rush? Which we haven't yet, but can we? And

419
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: maybe we have to Blitz to do it, and can

420
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 3: we hold up on the corner on the outside edges

421
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: our corners right now, our top five kids, you know,

422
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 3: including including you know, three rookies, not counting Kenny. Kenny's

423
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 3: a given, you know where he is. But our top

424
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: five guys that are fighting for that outside job are

425
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: really competing, and they competed really well in the game.

426
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: You know.

427
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 3: Obviously, Rush came up with the big play, you know,

428
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: you know, and if he gets a step, he's gone.

429
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, I thought, I thought Brent's played well.

430
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for Brent's I think he got hurt. Schematically, we

431
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: ran a couple of bail cover threes on third and

432
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: ten and he's bailing out of there. And what I

433
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 3: would really like to see with all of them Flowers, Baker, Brent's,

434
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: Rush and Jones, those guys, what I'd like to really

435
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: see is for us to play in the next two

436
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: weeks a ton of press, whether we're gonna do it

437
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: during the year or not, because to me, that's how

438
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: you evaluate those corners is put those guys, get Brents

439
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: up there all day long and the press. Let's just

440
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 3: you know, because I think we got talent. They're competing,

441
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: you know. You know again, you know we talk about Baker,

442
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: but you know Baker, they're gonna have to prove Baker

443
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: is not good enough because yeah.

444
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: He's not doing anything to take let you think.

445
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: That at all, right, you know, and Flowers, I mean,

446
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: but again, I would like to see Rush and well

447
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: all of them, all five of them. I'd like to

448
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 3: see him play the rest of the way at corner.

449
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: And I would like for them to be in press

450
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 3: almost the whole game, you know, because you can do that.

451
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: Now you might not do that, and don't bail. Just

452
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: get up there and stuff people and see what we

453
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: got sure and make and let him get some confidence

454
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: in that.

455
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Rick Venturry right there. Inside football, I'm Matt Taylor. You

456
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: talked about Arlington, Hanbright playing some offensive line he stood

457
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: out to your post game on on the tape. Any

458
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: other non starters that really kind of helped themselves.

459
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: In this game.

460
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I thought I thought some receivers, I

461
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: thought they battled.

462
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: They did what they did, uh, you know.

463
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: For that last spot or last you know that kind

464
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: of that last two spots catch with a great catch

465
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: and what I kind of liked about that one.

466
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: What we've seen out of Strong is always the ability

467
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: to go high point. This time he came over somebody.

468
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: That's something I haven't seen him compete inside for a

469
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: ball like that, So I thought that was a plus.

470
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: And I would love to see him eventually make it.

471
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 3: And I'm probably getting too high on him again, you know,

472
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: but he's another guy that Richardson will find. He'll find,

473
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: you know, at that ball down the side, you know,

474
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: you know, Turner was productive. You know, he was productive.

475
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had forty eight receiving yards in the game.

476
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: You know, he was very productive, you know. And then

477
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: and then I thought the new kid, number.

478
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: Three, Rogers, I thought, I thought Rogers. Rogers looked pretty

479
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: good with the ball, and we know he's athletics, so

480
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 3: he just kind of.

481
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: Puzzles me receivers.

482
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 3: So I mean, I think those three guys for sure

483
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: kept themselves in the mix.

484
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 1: All Right, we know about Richardson, he's the starting quarterback

485
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: going into week one of the regular season. What are

486
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: you looking forward to seeing from Richardson in these joint

487
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: practices that will help his growth and help him settle

488
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: in going into the regular year.

489
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: Well, these are gonna be phenomenal for him. Okay, and

490
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: you know, when you think about it, Matt, the next

491
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: five sessions, three of them are joint practices and two.

492
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: Of them are games. So you know, arguably this is

493
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: the this is the best five days. This is the

494
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: most significant five days of training camp.

495
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

496
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: What I'm gonna look for is just day to day growth. Okay,

497
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: pinpoint accuracy, Sunday accuracy. Grow with it, process, better work

498
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: on it, stay calm, stay away from the reckless play. Yeah,

499
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: you know, know when to fold them. It's just gonna

500
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: be accumulatative growth. Now, why these joint practices are so good,

501
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: it was so important for me, and I appreciate Sean

502
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: Shane on this is he had to go in and

503
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 3: play against that fast first team at Buffalo. He has

504
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: to go in and feel that speed of the defense.

505
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: Now he's not only gonna get the speed of the

506
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: defense in the five to two against the Bears and

507
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: the Eagles, but he's also gonna get the sophistication that

508
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: you don't get in a preseason game. I mean once

509
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: when you do a scrimmage with another team because the

510
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: film is regulated. We do everything we're gonna do, We're

511
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: gonna play our red zone defenses, our third down defenses.

512
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: So now he's gonna be confronted with game speed, but

513
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: defensive sophistication, and that is the next step. I mean,

514
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: that's and this is you know I said last week.

515
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: I mean, people have no idea how difficult it is

516
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 3: to come in and play as a rookie in the NFL.

517
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: That's why the joint practices. Then I'm glad we're going

518
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 3: to Philly to do it, even if it's gonna be

519
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: a long week for us. Maybe we go see the Phillies,

520
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 3: but but save me a seat, but we're probably gonna

521
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: play against the best defensive personnel in the league that day.

522
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: I mean, he's.

523
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 3: Gonna he is gonna see the best of the best,

524
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 3: So you know that along with the games. I just

525
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: can't say enough about joint practices. I mean, to me,

526
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: I was huge on them when they weren't popular. Although

527
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: when I coached in New Orleans and when the Saints

528
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: and the first five years of my tenure there. We

529
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: went to Lacrosse, Wisconsin, and we had what was in

530
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: effect called the Cheese League. We had the Packers, the Vikings,

531
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 3: the Chiefs and who else. Oh, Jacksonville was even up

532
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: there for a year, wow, and the Bears. The Bears

533
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: were in Platteville, So it was nothing for us to

534
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: work against four or five teams. And when we did that,

535
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: that was always we always got off to our best starts.

536
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, we'll see if that translates. Colts, by

547
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,560

548
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,560
