25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: moment more. The burning question, according to Casey Valier, is

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: as follows the room on this roster to start the season,

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: the fifty three man for three quarterbacks. You know that

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's going to be there. You know that Nick

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Foles is going to be there. Should Sam Ellinger have

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: played his way on to this roster so far nineteen

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: to twenty two, two twenty four or four tds to

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: this point in the preseason numbers game is a significant issue,

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: as you all know right here. But Casey wants to

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: know what JMV ten seventy if you think Ellinger has

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: played his way on deservedly so this fifty three man

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: at JMV ten seventy. You can answer that question and

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: I'll read it coming up a little bit later on.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: They interviews with me earlier this week, Yannike and Goakway

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: nahem Hinz. Those can be heard coming up a little

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. But as always, we

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: start with a voice of the cults, Matt Taylor, the

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: head coach Frank Wriich together and conversational about training camp,

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the end and that final preseason game. Matt, all right,

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: thank you jm V. It's time now for the head

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Coaches report with head coach Frank Reich, and let's start

46
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: first with the end of camp, the return of normalcy,

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: fans and droves autographs after practice every day. What kind

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: of support did you see from the fans in the

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: city of Westfield and Graham Park during training camp this

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: past month. Yeah, in every aspect, I mean right first

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: and foremost, we had success on the field, you know,

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: getting a lot of stuff done, but make no mistake

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: about it, part of the objective is the experience that

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: we have here at Grant Park and the interaction with

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: the community and a huge success. I spoke to a

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: group of people last night, you know kind of fans,

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: supporters and volunteers, and when we joked about how excited

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: we all were to get here, you know, like as

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: players and coaches can't wait to get to training camp. Know,

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: this is a great experience, but now we're excited to leave,

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: not because we don't love it here, because we know

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: what leaving here means, you know, but this was a

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: tremendous experience people up here or fantastic. Speaking of leaving here,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: where is the offense now at the end of camp

65
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: compared to at the beginning of camp? What kind of

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: growth did you see from that unit? Yeah? A lot,

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: a lot of cohesion, you know, working out details in

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: every in every fashion. You know, really excited about that.

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously having you know, Matt a quarterback, having

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: him have a chance to put his stamp on the offense,

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, get to know the guys, guys, get to

72
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: know him, you know, get that unit working together. Um,

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna want to run the football with JT.

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: So that combination that will feel really good about. And

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver battle ongoing and it heated up a

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: little bit last week, and then obviously with the game

77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: field with Detroit. You know, some of those guys are

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: starting to emerge. From your standpoint, how how difficult is

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: that decision going to be when you whittle down the

80
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: roster at the wide receiver position. Yeah, very difficult. That

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: all the positions, but that position and specific you know,

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: with how the guys have been playing We've said right

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: at the started camp, we feel good about this group.

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: It's it's a deep, it's a young group, but it's deep,

85
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: it's talented. So tough decisions ahead when you look at

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: the defense again in terms of growth, how close is

87
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: the defense to where it needs to be operating heading

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: into the regular season with a new scheme, new coaches,

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: and obviously a new coordinator with Gus Bradley. Yeah, excited,

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: excited to continue to see the progress. I feel good

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: about it. You know, we got another preseason game that'll

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: be important, starters will get to play a little bit.

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: I feel like we've made the progress we've needed to

94
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: see here, and I think right now it's just a

95
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: question of more live reps, you know, more live reps,

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: more live reps. And so that's why we'll get in

97
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: this preseason game against Tampa Bay. And you know, I

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: know how Gus, Gus really does a great job of

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: keeping things simple. You know, when you get in training camp,

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: you're putting everything in the kitchen, sink in, and now

101
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: as we kind of gear down towards opponents, things simplify.

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: We play fast. I'm excited what we're going to see,

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately this week another injury to to Rigaberto Sanchez.

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: Some people say, well, it's it's just your punter, you know,

105
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: bringing the next guy. But as you know, Rego is

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: a kickoff specialist. He's your holder, he controls fuel position,

107
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: and this guy's a major weapon that unfortunately you lost

108
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: this week. I think he's the best in the league

109
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: at his position. I thought that since we've been here,

110
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: he's so talented, and then it's so productive as a player,

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, he's just you know,

112
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: what we represent through and through heart and soul of

113
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: this team. So really, this crushing blow, you know, that's

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: the what we talked about as a team. When these

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: things happen. It's it's like it's personal. We love Rego.

116
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: It hurts, but it's the next man up. So how

117
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: do you deal with that? How do you deal with

118
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: the fact that in this business, it's a brutal business

119
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: if you have to have this mental toughness to say

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: it's next man up. We got to keep going, you know,

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: we got things to accomplish, but man, we hurt for

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: our teammate. So that's the tension that you got to

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: find a way to live in and I think our

124
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: guys and our building does that very well. You know.

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: On the flip side of that, a guy who's coming

126
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: back from injury, Tae Kwon Lewis, he got back on

127
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: the game field last Saturday against Detroit, really looked good.

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: How pleased are you with his progress after his injury

129
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: last year in the middle of the season around Halloween time?

130
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: Very pleased. Just he seemed like it happened fast for him,

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, like when he started, when he got back

132
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: on the field, it seemed like he got in the

133
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: groove very quickly. So excited about that whole D line group.

134
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: But Tae Kwon, I think has continued to develop each year,

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: and he's going to have a great opportunity this year

136
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: to take another step and hopefully a significant step for

137
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: US coach. After this preseason game against Tampa Bay, what's

138
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: life like for you the next two or three days

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: leading up to Nick Tuesday when you have to get

140
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: that roster down to fifty three guys? How difficult is

141
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: it to be you as the head coach in dealing

142
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: with Chris Baller to make those decisions. It's the worst

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: time of year, you know, It's the worst time of year.

144
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, the only saving grace is sixteen of those guys.

145
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Seventeen of those guys will be back on the practice

146
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: squad and most of them get a chance to play.

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: So and then sometimes it's even more than that. It's

148
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: not it's not easy. We all know, and the players

149
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: know it's part of the business, but it's still it's

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: not easy. And so really, the next couple of days

151
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: are you know, really you know, just diving down into preparations,

152
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: not only for Tampa Bay, but really forming the roster.

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, Chris follow Chris's lead there. You know, we

154
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: talk it through at every position, all the coaches, all

155
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the staff called the personnel staff, you know, literally go

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: through a player by player, position by position and make

157
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: those tough decisions. Well, the starters are going to play

158
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: about a half in this final preseason game. I know

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: you're not necessarily game planning for Tampa Bay, not scheming

160
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: them up, but they we'll see some extended run. How

161
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: much of an indicator is that half for you in

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: terms of your assessment on where you think your team

163
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: is going into the regular season. And one of the

164
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: things I've been saying about preseason is you know that

165
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't. The score doesn't count, right, it doesn't count.

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. You got to accept that. But everything matters.

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: You know that, every play matters, So you know that's

168
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: that's what matters to me. It's it's what kind of

169
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: progress are we making, How we're moving the ball, are

170
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: we syncd up, are we on the details? Are we

171
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: playing fast? That's really what you want to see. Sometimes

172
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: there's things out of your control, plays or calls or whatever.

173
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: So um, it's not life or death in many respects,

174
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: but you still use it as a somewhat of a

175
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: barometer where you're at. That's head coach Frank Reich on

176
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the Head Coaches Report. Coach as always, congratulations on a

177

217
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: bit earlier. I have a great deal of admiration for

218
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: what the Colts have done defensively this offseason and very

219
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: excited about seeing this defense starting the season. And one

220
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: big reason why is coming off that edge. Janique Ingakway.

221
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: They acquired him and that deal back in March, and

222
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: he joined me earlier this week to talk about expectations

223
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: and more in this first training camp earlier this week

224
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: in Westfield, and how he feels about this team defensively

225
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: coming together via the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline, Junique,

226
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: thank you for the time. How are you? I'm doing

227
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: a good John. I just had to got them literally

228
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: just doing a practice. Guys got better today on all

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: three stages of special teams defensive offense. So just blessed,

230
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: thankful to be here. Were you running some wind sprints

231
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: at the end of practice there too? Yeah, we definitely

232
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: did some gassers, you know, five, ten, fifteen yards and

233
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: finishing through a goal line. So I want breaving a

234
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: little happy right now. That's all right, it's Yunika ghatway

235
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: with us. I want to go back to March when

236
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: that that deal was made. What was that at all?

237
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: Not the moment it was made and reported. But wasn't

238
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: at all a surprise when you heard that the Colts

239
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: had interest in you? Absolutely? You know, I thought I

240
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: was going to be in Vegas for the long haul.

241
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: But God does everything for a reason and I'm just

242
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, thankful to be able to be reconnected with

243
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley and just you know, being able to play

244
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: with guys like the Forest, play with guys like Stewart,

245
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, guys like that and Darius and Quitty. So

246
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just honored to be here. And uh,

247
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I just want to pick up the torch and continue

248
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: our defensive and legacy here. I am. Yes, So we'll

249
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: get to that just a second. Two. There is no

250
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: doubt one of the reasons I'm excited about this is

251
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: because of the legacy legacy in which you speak. But

252
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious your connection with Gus Bradley, Um obviously goes

253
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville. What do you guys have between you

254
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: where you've been together on now three different stops. Yeah,

255
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I just understand his his his philosophy. I

256
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: understand what needs to be done at the legal position,

257
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: and I understand that I need to be a servant

258
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: leader and give this information and knowledge out to the

259
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: younger guys, especially at my position. So you know, it's

260
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: all about who you know, you know, not even just

261
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: in football, and you know, Gus, we know each other

262
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: very well, and that's how that thing came about together.

263
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Has anybody in the NFL had more of an impact

264
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: on you as a player than Gus Bradley. I would

265
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: say numerous guys you know, um, not just coaches, but

266
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: you know guys like Bruce Smith who who I speak

267
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: to sometimes and guys like how We Long who who

268
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: mentor me at my in Las Vegas. So you know,

269
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: guys like that have made a huge impact in my life.

270
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: And those guys are where I want to be when

271
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm done playing the game. He can he is a

272
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: unique and Goaquay on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline.

273
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: All right, talk a little bit about Bruce Smith and

274
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: then how Long as well, because it's always great to

275
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: to get that input, to get that at advice from

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: from the greatest guys that ever played, especially defensively here.

277
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: What do they tell you? What type of advice do

278
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: they give you? Yeah? Absolutely, they just tell me that,

279
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: you know about the preparation. Preparation is what leads to excellent,

280
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: excellent performances on Sunday. So you know, those guys always

281
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: telling me about how they showed me how to break

282
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: down tape, just how to take care of your body,

283
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, off the shield and just making smart decisions

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: and you know, always keeping God first. Or those guys

285
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: have you know, allowed me to be able to grow

286
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: as a man and as a player incredibly athletic. Dude.

287
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: So you come out of Maryland, you land in Jacksonville.

288
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: How much awareness did you have on the advice they're

289
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: giving you now about breaking down tape and be, you know,

290
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: the most prepared you can be. How much of that

291
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: did you have when you first in your rookie season

292
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: landed in Jacksonville. I definitely think I'm far along, way,

293
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: way far along though than when I started at as

294
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a rookie. You know, just a little more nuances that

295
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: I've picked up and in film study, uh tips, So

296
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I've definitely grown a lot, and just knowing certain formations

297
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: and knowing certain tendencies of our offense can allow you

298
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: to make plays even faster. How much tape do you

299
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: watch every week in preparation? Man? It just all depends,

300
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: you know. I try to try to get a lot

301
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: of film, a film study in a lot of it,

302
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: And sometimes I have a day where I pick out

303
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: just watching the player and watching a man that I'm facing.

304
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: In certain days, I'll pick out just formations. What does

305
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: this offense like? The running twenty one personnel? What do

306
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: they like? The one anolether personnel, and that can just

307
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: allow you to have certain indicators when you play on Sunday.

308
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can go quays with us. I mentioned

309
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. I was really excited of all

310
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the moves the Colts made this offseason, and I've talked

311
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: about it various times on this show. Your move from

312
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders to hear was the one that I liked

313
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the most because this team, as you mentioned, had been

314
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: without a consistent, a significant edge rusher since one of

315
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: those cornerstones that you brought up a little bit earlier

316
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and Robert Mathis, and yeah, you look at Robert Mathis,

317
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: you look at the White Freeney back in the day,

318
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: that's when the defense played at it best. And I'm

319
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: assuming you know that it's been a long time. You

320
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: adding to this defense what everybody hopes you can coming

321
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: up this season. Absolutely. You know, those guys paved the way,

322
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: uh Rob Dwight. These guys that they were playing at

323
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: the high level for a very long time and they

324
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: played all the way to their late thirties. You know,

325
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: those are guys that love the game. They played it

326
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: with a passion each and every town, and guys that

327
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: were not as big especially Rob. You know, he was

328
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: in the biggest defensive end, but you felt his presence

329
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: each and every snap. And that's what I attend on

330
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: bringing here in Indianapolis. Unique and goods with us. So

331
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: three of the of the five times you've met up

332
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: with Gus Bradley here, I did want to ask you this,

333
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: Has there ever been any frustration with being so good,

334
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: so productive and then moving around so young in your

335
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: career as much as you have? Yeah, so sorry, you

336
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. If I could have went back

337
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: in time, not if I could have went back in time,

338
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: but you know, if things were you know, the perfect situation,

339
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, for both sides, I would have still been

340
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguar. But you know, God does everything for a reason.

341
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: And I'm still younger, I'm at my prime, and I

342
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: have a lot of football to give to this organization

343
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: that I'm currently at right now. Yeah. I can't wait

344
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: to see that. Yeah, for sure. It's just Um. Here's

345
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: the other thing I noticed, and I love that you're

346
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: doing this here. You have absolutely embraced with open arms

347
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and the community. How important has that been with

348
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: that transition from Vegas to here, to to get here

349
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: and try to open up for the fans here in Indianapolis. Oh,

350
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: it's been great. You know, the fans, the Huger hospitality

351
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: is just wonderful. You know. Uh, they love their football.

352
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, they love their basketball as well, and they

353
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: love their their coats. So I'm just so excited to

354
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: be able to bring happiness to the city by playing

355
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: my heart out and trying to definitely bring wins to

356
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: Lucas oil. Um. Now, did you surprise some folks when

357
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: you showed up in their backyard over the weekend? Uh? Yeah, definitely,

358
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah to had to just stop by, you know, show

359
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: my face. It's bigger than football at the end of

360
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: the day. It's about making impacting people's lives outside of

361
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: just making plays. Is does this feel at all different

362
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: then your other stops so far, at least being here

363
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: Nindi Oh yeah, absolutely it sell. It feels like it

364
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: was divine time and it was definitely time for me,

365
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, to uh find a home, and this is

366
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: home for me. I'm just I'm just grateful to be here. Absolutely.

367
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: What do you think this defense to you is going

368
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: to look like? I just think again, you're a missing

369
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: piece that has not been around here. Since Robert mathis,

370
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: what do you think you and this defense can do

371
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: this season undergust Bradley and his tutelage. Yeah, I think

372
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: we definitely can have a lot of turnovers, a lot

373
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: of sacks, and you know, just a lot of finishing

374
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: drives where we win the game. We finished the game

375
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: and we put them out at the defense in the

376
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: last two minute drill. So you know, just hoping to

377
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: bring you know, a lot of intensity and just seeing

378
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys flying around film. I have said this,

379
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: and listen, I think you got to set the bar

380
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: high with the group, especially upfront that you're you're along

381
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: with here. You mentioned DeForrest Buckner, and you know Grover Stewart,

382
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: and you know, you got a couple of young guys

383
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: and Quinny pay and then Dielle hopefully you know, getting

384
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: some opportunities to I think this defensive line should at

385
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: the end of it all be a top five defensive

386
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: line in the NFL this year. Is that among the

387
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: expectations you have as a defensive player. Absolutely want to

388
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: definitely be top three. You and I want to lead

389
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: the way for it. I M, yeah, well, I should

390
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: say top three if he wants that sound better. Sounds better,

391
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: doesn't It's sorry about that. I didn't mean to short

392
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: change it, but no, seriously, you look along that defensive

393
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: line unique and you see how much talent there is,

394
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: and I feel comfortable and suggesting you guys should be

395
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: that good. Absolutely so unique and dockway he is on

396
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. So what else you

397
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: plan on doing? You've done some stuff for teachers, You're

398
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: doing the backyard thing with fans around here. What else

399
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: is on your mind about things you want to do

400
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: with social media and try to work your way and

401
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: meet some fans here? Oh yeah, man, I just want

402
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: to keep continue to extend my hand out to the teachers.

403
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: We still haven't reached our goal yet to go to

404
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: get to ninety one teachers. We've we've helped out the

405
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: thirty one teachers so far, so you know, that's number

406
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: one and been number two, you know, continuing to you know,

407
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: share my time with kids that come from similar backgrounds

408
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: as myself. You know, Um, the twenty eighth of this month,

409
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: we would definitely bring some kids out to a baseball game.

410
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: And there's more details on that, but I just wanted

411
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: to bring those those kids out to allow them to

412
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: have a great time. How much of your background has

413
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: obviously defined you to the person that you are right now?

414
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: You know everything you know from from the start, you know,

415
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: before I even picked up a helmet to play football.

416
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, just being raised by a strong, hard working woman,

417
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: my mother, and just ending certain elements into my environment

418
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: growing up instilled discipline to me and instill confidence in me,

419
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: and it just allowed me to be grateful in the

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: moment each and every day. So, yeah, Nike and Gatua

421
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: with us. So I also the people I work with

422
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the most, teachers Treasures. I don't know if you've heard

423
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: of them around here, but yeah, the teachers. The teachers

424
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: have to people tend to forget about this in preparation

425
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: for the school year or really a school day, they

426
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: end up buying a lot of supply and use their

427
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: own dollar to buy those supplies, and teachers Treasures helps

428
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: out to help them out with that that particular part

429
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: of just being a teacher in general. And teacher Treasures

430
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: if you ever look into that, that is a great

431
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: one around here that I know so many of our

432
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: educators love. And you know that's the one I've been

433
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: friendly behind for a number of years. Now, could you

434
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: shoot me some more information on that? You want me

435
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: to send it to you via Twitter? Please? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely,

436
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Well Margaret, Margaret She and I know you won't remember

437
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,639

438
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,440

439
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: and she helps so many educators. My mom was an educator,

440
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: my wife was an educator, and I'm big on that.

441
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: And she helps so many around here because it's so expensive,

442
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: and you know, a lot of that money comes out

443
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,800

Speaker 1: and we'll work together on something to see if we

447

00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: going to be utilized a ton this season. You can

479
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: expect now both he and Jonathan Taylor will not be

Speaker 1: playing coming up tomorrow night against the Buccaneers in that

481
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: preseason game number three, but he would expect to be

482
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: huge coming up this year offensively. Here's our conversation from

483
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: early in the week with Nahim Hanes joining us down

484
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. Were the favorites of

485
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: the show. Every time he makes that appearance, we call

486
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: him twenty one. You know him as Nahim Hans and

487
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: twenty one for that matter of the colts. He's on

488
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. Nahim, how are you well?

489
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: Got doing practice? So actually on the practice soud right now.

490
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: So invided him blessed to be here. I thought about

491
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: this yesterday and I hated about Rigor burto Sanchez. I

492
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: thought about you holding? Will you be holding on Saturday?

493
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I know him the backup holder

494
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: though the actually cross the line as soon as you

495
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: get hurt. I was like, oh my, I might be

496
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: hold this week, but I'm sure I'll probably bring in

497
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: somebody else who's way more capable than me. But you

498
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: know me, I'm always ready to go in case it happens.

499
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: We talk about you all the time on this show.

500
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: We may have done a segment on you you holding

501
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: on Saturday, And I hate it too because Sanchez is

502
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: such a huge part. I mentioned that this way you

503
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: talking about any injury Nahim. But but Rigor Berto, he's

504
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: a positive and you know, you make a sure thing

505
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: positive you feel so confident about, and you take that

506
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: away from a couple of different aspects of the team,

507
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: and that hurts. Uh. Yeah, like you said, it's true,

508
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: even like when we're looking at backups, like we really

509
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: don't have a backups as long as appro or punter.

510
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: We even have two kickers here. So that just goes

511
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: to show how great Rigo is. Honestly, playing with Rigo,

512
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: him punting me the ball in practice makes it way

513
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: easier than the games he's played. He's played so long,

514
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: and he's played at such a high level persistent a

515
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: long time. We're gonna miss him. Yeah, and I want

516
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: you to speak to that if you wouldn't mind you

517
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: before we move on, because you you get to field

518
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: his punts in practice. Um, how how good is he

519
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: at what he does? And how difficult might that be

520
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: for the team to track down somebody that can do

521
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: it at that particular level. It's super hard. First of all,

522
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: there's not good punters out on the streets, like you know,

523
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: if you do sever let you know, you can just

524
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: pick up. But a punter who's consistent is Rigo, who

525
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: consistently give you get dr punts, who can hit any

526
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: punt on command is big. And that's how Rigo is

527
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: still here. They consistent and even um, if you just

528
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: have punters work out, it's just hard because there's so

529
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: inconsistent And that's our Rigo was so great because he's

530
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: he consistently did any kick you wanted to do, whenever

531
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: you want to do it. That's he's one of the

532
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: best in the league. He's not him Hinds On the

533
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: Andy Moore Automotive Group potline, my producer Kyle and I

534
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: were talking about this right before you called in too. Um,

535
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: when you get at the end of camp, like this

536
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: is your body a little bit worn down? Or how

537
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: how might your body feel at this point in time

538
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: when you're nearing the end of camp. Ut, I'm a

539
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: little bit tired, but uh, you know that's just how

540
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: it is. Uh football, you know, your best days the

541
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: first day of camp. So after that, from not to

542
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: January we go to bedre for set. So my bodies

543
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: a little bit tired. But I've been resting a wild too.

544
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: When everything I can't take care of my body in

545
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go nine to eleven? Does does

546
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: it get you set camp wise? To be that tired,

547
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: to feel that way knowing that most of the season,

548
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: outside of maybe week one, you're gonna be dealing with tiredness,

549
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: with aches and with pains and they're gonna have to

550
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: play through it. Does that help you prepare for that? Yeah?

551
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: And I mean even just leading a football player. I

552
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: told my family, like you know, we're professional pain manage

553
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: that manages too, Like you know, every day we wake

554
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: up from running, we're gonna be so we're gonna be tight.

555
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: So I mean you just learn how to deal with it.

556
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: And then, uh, like I said, you do the most

557
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: you can for your body and just stay prayed up

558
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: and just pray. Like you know, injuries don't happen and

559
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: they're part of the game, but you just do everything

560
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: you can so even if they do happen to you

561
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: can just be like, hey, I put the best foot forward.

562
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: Twenty one joins us. You do anything different this offseason

563
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: and preparation for this year? Uh? No, not really. I

564
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: was gonna track running. I mean I ran a lot

565
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: more routes, like I try to learn a little bit

566
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: about the route game, and just I got coached up

567
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I Reggie Wayne and you know some other NFL former

568
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: NFL receivers by coach and Maurice Harris and Charlotte. So

569
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a biggest thing for me is

570
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, stay on the track and getting as fast

571
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: as I can and then just getting better than the

572
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: row techniques, be able to run corner routes and media routs,

573
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: long routes as a receiver. So that's really probably the

574
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: only thing I did differently this offseason. What's Reggie Wayne

575
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: told you taught you so far about playing that position? Uh,

576
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to be the fastest. You just have

577
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: to be the fastest in and out of your breaks.

578
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Even the fastest receivers aren't the fast in out of

579
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: their breaks, and that's how you create separation, just getting

580
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: in out of your brakes. And he's taught me a

581
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: great tricks to you know, do that so honestly after

582
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: you know him being my coach for the OTAs, and

583
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: I see what he was open a lot. He had

584
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: a lot of great tricks I've never heard of. So

585
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: for me, him and Scott even doing a great job.

586
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: And I've been just trying to absorb as much information.

587
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: It's like you, all right, so how many of these

588
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: tricks do you have in your bag? Now? You know,

589
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: I probably got three or four of him, three or four,

590
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully boy week one, I have maybe five

591
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: or six. I'll try to learn something every week and

592
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: every every day I go out there and running arounte

593
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: and they coached me and teaching something I've ever been

594
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: taught before him. That's really a great thing. So I

595
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: been super excited and humble. Would have great coaching in

596
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: my back. Yeah. Now he mind joins us on the

597
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: Eddie Moore out the Motive Group plotline. So your teammate

598
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: and friend Michael Pittman Junior was on the show last

599
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: week and I asked him about you. I asked him

600
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: about you, and he kind of answered the question about

601
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: you as a receiver and the foreman which he answered

602
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: it was like this, he said, you know what, I

603
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: think he should probably just start being in the same

604
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: room with us, being in the wide receiver room instead

605
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: of the running back room. There's that kind of where

606
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're still gonna be running back,

607
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: but how much more of a wide receiver are you

608
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: expecting to be this year? Well, first off, for Pitman

609
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: to say that, you know, I every day, I h

610
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: I asked for reassurance that the receivers claim me. So

611
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that Pittman came on and said that

612
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: he's a great player. Yeah, but uh, I mean I

613
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: have my I have my days where I'm at running

614
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: back and have my days where I'm at receiver. You know,

615
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: it would be cool just to be in the receiver

616
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: room all the time, But you know, I play running

617
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: back and protections gigs, so especially teams are running abotic.

618
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: So nice likely, sure, I can say that, but I'd

619
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: love to get some more coaching. Uh. I actually have

620
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: to spend extra time, you know, getting extra routes and done,

621
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: not coming on at nine every other day, every couple

622
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: of days with Scottie. Just learn learn the receiving game.

623
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: So if I can get in the room more, it's awesome.

624
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: But if not, I have to do with my role.

625
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take what I can take, and and even

626
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: my role as receiver, It's all about what I do

627
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: on practice. I'm not running route to winning. They won't

628
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: call the ball, they won't call it for me. So

629
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: that's really my goal is to win in practice. It's

630
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: funny too, because you know this if your family knows

631
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: this before. I've been touting you for years ago. You

632
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: gotta use him more. You gotta use him more. I mean,

633
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: he's just um, you know, a guy that can give

634
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: you a lot. And it didn't see like that. You

635
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: got the opportunity that we were looking for a year ago.

636
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: What makes you think that you're going to get more

637
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: of that opportunity this season? You know, different different players,

638
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: different system and you know this is a different year.

639
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Everything a lot of things are different. But uh, one

640
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: thing that coach mctgomery said to me that stuck with

641
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: me is in the NFL, you have to be ready

642
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: for your opportunity if you ever get one. So if

643
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I get I don't get one, I would be ready.

644
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: But I have a good feeling and things will come

645
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: my way that they haven't came before. I never working

646
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: really hard and been a building good chemistry with that

647
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: new quarterback. So hopelly that helps out as well too.

648
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: But uh, last year was last year. The opportunities mayn

649
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: I came, but that was last year. This is a

650
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: whole new year, and as we know, every year is different,

651
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: so I'm not really worried about last year. Is gonna

652
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: try to build on this year. Hey, you read my mind.

653
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: Regarding your chemistry, your relationship with the quarterback. How is

654
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: that cohesion gone thus far? Yeah, I mean, you know,

655
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: when it's the guy who could just be like, hey, nhem,

656
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm want to put it on your left shoulder, and

657
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: every time nine times I tend he does it. I

658
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: mean pretty cool. It's been been real good working with

659
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: mister Mattie Ice. And he isn't a really great It's

660
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: been a pleasure to work with him. I've grown up

661
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: watching him for years, and uh it's been pretty cool,

662
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: just like you know, to you know, even though I've

663
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: been here five years I'm still a fan, like you know,

664
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: getting getting the meeting it folds, getting to be in

665
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: the hudle with back. It's been really a pleasure and honor. Honestly,

666
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: even sometimes starts struck a little bit because it's like, hey,

667
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: this is the guy I've watched for years, but a

668
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: great chemistry. I'm trying to do everything on my end

669
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: to win, to win for him, and you know, even

670
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: if I don't win, There's been times he's just throwing

671
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the ball in there and I've tried to make a

672
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: great catch. But you have a quarterback like that, the

673
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 1: chemistry is easy. And twenty ones on the show here

674
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: on the Andy Morrel at a mount of Coop Potline.

675
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to compare, but just in this

676
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: case Matt Ryan as a leader, what have you taken

677
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: from that so far? What is he as far as

678
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: the leadership qualities he brings to the field for you guys,

679
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: you know, he's everything we want to leader. He's a

680
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: very very great leader. And the one thing that is uh,

681
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: he's very accountable on us and even himself when when

682
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: he messes up, people like, that's my bad right there.

683
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: As soon as before the coach can even say something

684
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: he's in the beginning room, like, that's my bad. I

685
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: have to give you a better ball. And that's one

686
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: thing that we need this, the one thing we need

687
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: here is just accountable the players for the players accountable.

688
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: That's what Frank and Chris Ball would always say. That's

689
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: one thing that's gonna do. I think we're just gonna

690
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: be a lot better because you're gonna hold us accountable.

691
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure we're on our pees and ques

692
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: with everything. Now he minds is with us. I'll ask

693
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: you to open up the playbook and you'll say, probably not,

694
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna ask you anyway. I think it's better

695
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: off when you and Jonathan are on the field at

696
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the same time. I mean always, because you guys are

697
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: always such a legitimate threat, I mean a scary threat

698
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: to defense is where there's no relaxation whatsoever for them. Well,

699
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: you guys, do you expect to be on the field

700
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: with him at the same time, regardless of if you're

701
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: targeted or getting the ball or whatever you feel. You

702
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: guys are going to be on the field more so

703
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: than a year ago at the same time this year.

704
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: I pay so and I think so I mean data

705
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: actually showed me the numbers and the week like there

706
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: was a tweet or something that we sell the numbers

707
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: and numbers don't lie. So with that and Dat and

708
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: I being on the field, that's really on me. Jac's

709
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field, that's one thing regardless, so

710
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: I can make sure I'd do my job to be

711
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: on the field and run the rocks I need to

712
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: run and be in the positions I need to be

713
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: in and make the plays. I need to make some

714
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: out there because Dat's one of the best players in

715
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: the league. So when they got me, is you know,

716
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 1: just trying to help him out, you know, and uh,

717
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: anywhere I can possibly do that at bestite being on

718
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: the field, Them'm gonna do it. But that's when they

719
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: want to do with two way ago. When how this

720
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: offense get going? Yeah, I believe I remember that the

721
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: tweets you're talking about too. I'll be honest with you.

722
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: I didn't even need a tweet. It's just you watch

723
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: and you guys both out there. You present a threat

724
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: and I might suggest you're going to be a decoy,

725
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: but you're just always going to be that threat to

726
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: make something happen. Out there. That makes the defense feel

727
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: a little bit different than when one of you or

728
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline and hold of your helmet for a play. Yeah,

729
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: And one thing I'll say is a Frank and Marcus

730
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: are really really smart, So you know, just j T

731
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: and I being out there will probably stress defensive out.

732
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: And then we got you know, like a great mind

733
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: like Frank and a great mind like Marcus and Batt

734
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: and all those people in that quarterback room helping out.

735
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, with that, the sky is going to be

736
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: the limit because we already put a lot of train

737
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: and stress on that defense with him thinking, and then

738
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: we have a great play caller and offensive courting and

739
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to make the creative ways to get

740
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: us the ball in creative ways to strike the defense

741
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: and then just be good with our base stuff. So

742
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to you know, be out there and

743
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: uh have an opportunity. And that's where I went every week.

744
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: It's the opportunity to play and play the game. I

745
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: love you sound excited. You always sound excited, but you

746
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: sound even more so this year. It's there's a different

747
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: feel from talking to you for the first time at

748
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: camp this year than what it has been in the past.

749
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: You can you feel that too, Borrow, what's that? Yeah,

750
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: we're great camp tomorrow. I'm excited to go back to

751
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: my bed. I'm excited about that. You know, every year

752
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: is different, and uh, you know, this year is a

753
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: great year. You know, this is my fifth year here

754
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: and I've seen all the teams you've had. On paper,

755
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: this might be the best thing we played with, but

756
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: we know that doesn't matter. So a little bit excitement

757
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: is about, you know everything, new new quarterback. We got

758
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: Gilmore who's a great, great player. You know, Darius is

759
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: coming back. And there's a lot to be excited about

760
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: if you're a Colt fan or a Colt. But we

761
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: have to go out there as players and execute and uh,

762
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: make sure we live up to the name. You're gonna

763
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: be on the in the punt game. You're gonna be

764
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: returning punts this year. Yes, sorry, playing on it. You're

765
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a lot. Have they have they told

766
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: you to have they told you officially? I just the

767
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: reason why I bring this up is, I guess it

768
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: stands to reason where I think you're going to be

769
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: utilized so much offensively that may they would want to

770
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: take you away from the punt return game. Has there

771
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: been no conversation about that at all? From what you know,

772
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: You're still going to be the punt return guy. Yeah,

773
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: don't say he's been too off for Frank to hear that. Dude,

774
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: you think you're talking to here? Man, I gotta I'm

775
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: haven't even have to field every play here. Yeah, but

776
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. You know. Obviously Frank is a coach.

777
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: He sees all. He sees things all the way through

778
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: further than I coulpostly see them. But he hadn't say

779
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: anything to everybody yet. And really, what my goal is.

780
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I love being out their part return. I feel like,

781
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, if I can get past that first, love's possible.

782
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm super excited to go back there, and

783
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, causes having back their apart return, so hopefully

784
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: I get to do it a lot. And uh, I'm

785
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna make sure I keep that job and do what

786
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: I can to make sure I'm out there and hope

787
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: with that team. Yea, I promise you won't say it

788
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: too loud either. There's there's no way. So it's just

789
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: it's interesting the way that you have You've evolved, right,

790
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,959
Speaker 1: before our eyes as a player here and I thought

791
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: last year that maybe under utilized player. But this year

792
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: seems like between you and Jonathan and this offense with

793
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: a new quarterback, it seems like you guys feel to

794
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: a man that the sky is the limit offensively year. Yeah,

795
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: the sky, the sky is a limit and all those

796
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: persons gonna take us down from the sky as us

797
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: so uh, and that's one thing that we can't do

798
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: is beat ourselves. We have execute and uh that's really

799
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: when one thing about us is we've talked about this

800
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: year is sometimes we've been beaten, but a lot of times,

801
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, as all football team states execution, were miss

802
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: having him meets and things like that. So one thing

803
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: we've been trying to do is just make sure we

804
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: finished and focus on the details. Yeah, I know you

805
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: say last year's last year, and I do get that.

806
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to get those final

807
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: two games of the regular season a year ago? On

808
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: the rear view for you, probably as when I got

809
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: back gotas and it was a new situation, and when

810
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: I got back in the budding, I think that's when

811
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: everything kind of we're behind me. Probably in the April

812
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: or made whatever OTAs was. But uh, like I said,

813
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: it was man, last year was last year, and it

814
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: was just it was unfortunate things happened. But uh, what

815
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: Chris Ballad said, you know early in training camp, and

816
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: he said, you know, amongst amongst every great thing is

817
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: a crestatable time and that was just really a tough

818
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: time for us, and it's a dark time and a crawl.

819
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: Champions to be born, you normally have to be knocked

820
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: down or knocked out to get back up and be

821
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: a champion. That's how you've become a champion. Those people

822
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: aren't just coming out her winning. They've had to go

823
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: through hardships and struggles. Everything I've seen one the super

824
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Bowl the past ten years went through some hardship or

825
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: struggle before they got there. So that's how we looked

826
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: at it. And uh, all those hardships and struggles that

827
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: we've had the past four years or hopefully building us

828
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: and maturing us is what we planned to be this year.

829
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Did you dig hard knocks? Would you do that again

830
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: or want to be a part of that again? I

831
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: actually I haven't even watched THEE yet. Really, yeah, I've

832
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: got I've not gotten to watching it. What is that

833
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: with a purpose. I'm assuming you're right the reason why.

834
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate how I sounded on camera, but

835
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: also too, I think just I wasn't ready to watch

836
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. I think that's something I'll probably look back on,

837
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: look back probably in a year, maybe next offseason to

838
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: watch it. But uh, maybe this was how we would

839
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: see how the season ended. Maybe I don't want to

840
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: watch it, but I just honestly hasn't been I've been

841
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: I've been fine on it, and my family told me

842
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: enough about the show where I haven't had to want

843
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: to watch it. So I mean, I guess I'll watch it,

844
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: but you know, I definitely show my kids that or

845
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: something because we were stars and like a reality TV

846
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: show and that's pretty cool. Yeah, now you hate how

847
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: your voice on camera? You sound fine, I hate hearing

848
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: my filf camera then't hilarious. But uh yeah, I mean

849
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe that, but I think really just how I think

850
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: it's how the season ended. Maybe well, I just I

851
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: think I just really want to put last year behind me. Literally,

852
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: so I didn't even watch Hard Knocks last year. I

853
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: think that's really what it was. Man. That's interesting though,

854
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: I get it, though, I do get it because last

855
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: year ended with such a thud. I've said this around

856
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: here for a while, and I'll let you go after

857
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: this final thing is that the season ended a year ago,

858
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: and again it was a year ago. It ended in

859
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: such a fashion where you're really not going to be

860
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: able to completely forget it until you get into this season,

861
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: start playing and win games and make you forget it

862
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: that way, right exactly like I'm watching Hard Knock, I'm

863
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: trying to get over last year. What I'm gonna watch

864
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: the last two episodes and watch the Vegas game, in

865
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game, and I'm I'm just gonna relapse. We're

866
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: trying to move forward here, Jake, We're trying to We're

867
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: here trying to move forward. So you know, I think, um,

868
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: just really with bad. I'll probably watching this year next year,

869
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe sometime during this year, but just haven't been on

870
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: my bucket list to watch it. Plus I know everything

871
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: that happened too, so I guess, well, let me know

872
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: when you you do watch it. Honestly, we've had you

873

00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, come out here and make some place on

918
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: my team. You know, it's been a long process for me,

919
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: but being back in and making some plays is real exciting.

920
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: And you came off of pup last week after missing

921
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the spring and that first

922
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: chunk of camp. How difficult was that for you to

923
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: miss that that valuable time for you on the field.

924
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: The hardest part for me, you know, it was being

925
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: away from my team. You know, my team made the coaches.

926
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: That was the hardest part. Not being able to practice.

927
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: It was real difficult. And but you know, right now,

928
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: I'm you have some greatful men to moving forward and

929
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be back. What did you do to

930
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: stay mentally and physically sharp during that time? I guess

931
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: start first with the mental How did you go about

932
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: making sure that you were on top of the playbook

933
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: even though you weren't on the field. Oh yes, mentally,

934
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, I had to take a mental approach. You

935
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: I was not able to go out there and do

936
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: anything physical, but mentally, you know, I stayed in the game,

937
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: stayed in the playbook, you know, continue to meet with

938
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: the QBS, stay on top of the game. So from

939
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint, I just stayed focused, stayed the course.

940
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: And then physically, I mean, Frank Reich talk last week,

941
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: You've gone from zero to sixty in a short amount

942
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: of time. I know you're you're dealing with that need.

943
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: How did you physically stay conditioned while you weren't on

944
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: the field. You know, a lot of praying, you know,

945
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of praying, a lot of you know, doing

946
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: extra work to make sure that my body is where

947
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: it needs to be. So a lot of extra work,

948
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of time with the trainers

949
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: and making sure you know, good to go. It's Mike

950
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Stron with US Colts wide receiver. Mike, how much more

951
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: comfortable are you now compared to last year as a rookie? Um?

952
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: You know, the more the more I'm out there, the

953
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: more uncomfortable. You know, so being you know, from like

954
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: you said last year of me and a rookie, you know,

955
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: first time coming in, you know, it's always it's always

956
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: the area where you got to you know, get comfortable

957
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and get you know, get adjusted with the team. But

958
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just a lot more comfortable now and

959
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: ecided you know for the process moving forward. Ecided for

960
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: the season, I mean the regular season coming up. You know,

961
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: it's real exciting. I mean it was it was crazy

962
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: last year. I mean COVID was still still ongoing. You

963
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: had the protocols, you were a rookie. You know, obviously

964
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterback carousel around that position, around you

965
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: trying to make the team coming from a Division two school.

966
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean, can you describe just all that you were

967
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: dealing with, uh, you know, on the field and off

968
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: the field last year as a rookie trying to make

969
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, you know, it was a lot that

970
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: went with it. You know, me coming from a small school,

971
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: A lot of people look down on me because of that,

972
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, and that was another obstacle I had to overcome.

973
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: It's just people looking down down down on me because

974
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: I came from a D two school. But you know,

975
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: I have a big heart, and I'm not, you know,

976
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: worried about that. I'm just ready for what this team

977
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: has to offer. You know, I'm excited. You know, you're

978
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: looking good offense, defense, special teams, and I feel we

979
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: can go all the way this year. Yeah, And what

980
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: ways has the game kind of slowed down for you?

981
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: If we can focus on the field for you, Mike

982
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: being able to being able to you know, I'm recover

983
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: this ready, you know, convert off a certain um zones,

984
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, different stuff like that. Um. Um, it's just

985
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: becoming more annautable, uncomfortable for me. It's Mike Strown again

986
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: as a wild ride last year again drafted and shining

987
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: in camp and then inactive down the stretch. Were you

988
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: able to kind of take some things away from last

989
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: year off the field that can kind of help you

990
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: going forward? Um? You know, just just staying mentally there,

991
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, staying staying focus. That's the biggest thing. You know, people,

992
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, when you're in a situation like me, you

993
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: tend to, you know, kind of drift away. But my

994
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: whole mentality is, you know my time is coming and

995
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: you know I believe that one hundred percent. But also

996
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, saying that, you know, I'm just year to

997
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: do whatever I can for the team. You know that

998
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: that that comes first, and I feel blessed to the year.

999
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: It's Mike Strown again, Colts wide receiver with us. What's

1000
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,800

1001
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: You're back on the field. Now you can just focus

1002
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: on football and all that you learned last year. What

1003
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: has that done to your confidence level going into this

1004
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: last preseason game? Um? Right, right now, I'm you know

1005
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: my confidence level. You know, I'm really confident and my

1006
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: goal is to help my team win every game. You know,

1007
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,479
Speaker 1: we play trying to stock wins and you know, trying

1008
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: trying to chase after that conference champ. All right. I

1009
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: love asking guys this question. What's it like working with

1010
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan On your end? What has that been like

1011
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: for you? Working with a fifteen year vet? He raises

1012
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to standard real high you know, that's that's a big thing.

1013
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: He has high expectations for us, and that that just raises,

1014
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: you know, the love it of competing, you know, so

1015
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: being able to compete, you know, and show what we

1016
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: can do. You know. It's just he's that type of

1017
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: guy that that brings that energy. Getting on the field

1018
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: with him again, missing a lot of the spring and

1019
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: then the early portions of training camp. Have he learned

1020
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: anything about him or has anything about him surprised you

1021
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: that you didn't know before you actually got in the

1022
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: huddle with him. For me, he's just watching his routine,

1023
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, even pre snap. You know what he's looking at,

1024
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, things that he's seen just his routine throughout

1025
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: the day. You know, those are the things, you know,

1026
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: I pay attention to. You know, I like to ask myself,

1030
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: know stuff like that. So watching his routines and seeing

1031
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: what he does, it's kind of the things that I

1032
