1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Congratulations on your family edition, your second granddaughter. I wanted 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: to get that in there before we begin. Use that 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: you don't see it all that often, but the former 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: quarterback takes over as a head coach like Frank Reich, 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious to get your perception on whether or not 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: you've seen him put the game in the hands of 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck anymore than usual. He's been throwing the ball 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: quite a bit to start the season. Uh, yeah, he 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: sure has. Well. I think probably any coach would be 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: comfortable putting the ball in Luck's hands. He's a very, 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: very good quarterback and he has excellent skill players to 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: work with. So we've seen Luck control of many games before. 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: And it's different because it's a different system, and I'm 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: sure that coach Reich has I'm given Luck a lot 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: of flexibility in the offense in terms of things that 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: the line skirmastion, um, post snap decisions, pre snap decisions, 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: all those kind of things. M but and so it's different. 18 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: But I'd say he's had a lot of responsibility like 19 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: that in the past and he handled it very well 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: as very sharp guy. But um, that's good football, interesting 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: and makes a lot of good decisions. So I can 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: see why why they put it in his hands. Thanks Phil. 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: The next question is going to be Phil Perry, followed 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: by Evan Lazar. Go ahead, Phil Park Phil. You mentioned 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: um the colt in their fuel positions, in the talent 26 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: they have there, looks like they have a few guys 27 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: that are new though that you haven't seen before. Um. 28 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm interested in particularly by the running back name behind. 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: How have you seen them? I use him? It looks 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: like he's been pretty active in the passing game. Uh, 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: he has Phil on It seems like it's a little 32 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: bit more each week. Um. They use them in different 33 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: personnel groupings. A lot of it's one back, but they 34 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: also use some two backs um formations when he's in 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: the game with another another guy Mac or Wilkins somebody 36 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: like that. So Um, and that creates some other problems 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: because they can be in two back or one back 38 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: formations with jet motion and things like that. So, but 39 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: he's he's very good with the ball in his hands. Um. 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: He's a good receiver, he's a good runner, he's fast, 41 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: he's elusive in space, hard to tackle. So it's a 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: guy you don't want to you don't want to give 43 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of freedom and opportunity too. 44 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: He's very, very good with the ball in his hands, 45 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: and that's a good quickness to get open and separate 46 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: in in the passing game. He welcome. Next up is 47 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: Evan Lazarre, followed by Bob Socy. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, coach, 48 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: I was just wondering with Frank right now in Indie. 49 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: If you see any similarities with the offense that they're running, 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: then you did put the Eagles in the Super Bowl? 51 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, they're they're both West Coast based offenses, 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: and um, yeah, shore's a lot of carry over. Well 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: you guys rewatched the Super Bowl to get any type 54 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: of advantage in game planning or anything like that, Yeah, 55 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: well we've seen that game. Um, you know, we we 56 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: looked at that game pretty closely before the Philadelphia preseason 57 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: game this year, and um, and there are obviously things 58 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: that came up in that game that we knew we 59 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: were gonna have to deal with as a carryover in 60 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: this year. So but I say, we've already, you know, 61 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: pretty much been down that road. How much they do 62 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: or don't do, I don't know. There's certainly a lot 63 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: of similarities in the basics offensive systems. Thanks coach. Next 64 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: up is Bob Socy, followed by Rich Garvin. Go ahead, Bob, Yeah, 65 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: thanks Mark A good morning, Bill. The coltsteve the Colts 66 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: defense a lot of turnover and actually I know there's 67 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: for most teams, every team a year to year, but 68 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: a lot of young players on that defense. And that's 69 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: curish about your impression of letters in particular with He's 70 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: had a lot of production in terms of tackles for 71 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: loss and tackles overall. What are you your thoughts about 72 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: him and in general the way the Colts defense approaches things, Well, 73 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: they're primarily a zone defense. Um. They have very very 74 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: disruptive up front with their defensive lineman. They're um. They 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: have some very it's well explosive and powerful guys UM 76 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: like Hunt and Sheared and Woods um. And they also 77 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: have some some very athletic guys UM that are disruptive too. UM. 78 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: You know Tray has done a good job for him 79 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: and bash them plus the guys they just mentioned um. 80 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: So they they cause a lot of negative plays I 81 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: think they lead the league and negative runs UM and 82 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: they're high in sacks. So they're very disruptive group. The 83 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: linebackers are fast. Leonard's fast. Walkers UM fast, and they 84 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: pursue well UM and so there they get to a 85 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: lot of plays, get through a lot of balls, UM, 86 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: and they've they've done an excellent job turning the ball over, 87 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: the stripping the ball out or UM, you know, making 88 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: plays tip passes and things like that. UM. But zon 89 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: zone oriented, so they have a lot of people will 90 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: run into the run into the ball wherever it is 91 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: run or pass UM and their their fronts very disruptive. 92 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: So a lot of times they're linebackers or or secondary 93 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: players like Gaithers or Kenny Moore who plays the nickel 94 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: for them, or Harriston if it's not more. UM do 95 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: a real good job of again filling those gaps and 96 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: getting in on plays. After a lot of times the 97 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: initial part of the running play has been disrupted or 98 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: UM forced to bounce out or cut back into another gap, 99 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: and they just converge and have a lot of people there. 100 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: So Leonard's been productive. He's as you said, he has 101 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. He's on the field on almost 102 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: every snap. It might be every snap he got out there. 103 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: He got there every play and again, very good sideline, 104 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: the sideline range they're linebackers are usually pretty deep, but 105 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: when they blitz, they fast, so they get there in 106 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: a hurry, even though UM, a lot of times in 107 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the ball snap they're not in a very threatening position, 108 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: but they make up that ground very quickly along with 109 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: the disruption on the defensive front and cause they cause 110 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: a lot of negative plays. So that's that's really the 111 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: main issue. UM holding count ofties, tackles for law sacks, 112 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: stadded balls. Um. Thanks like that. They have a lot 113 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: of negative plays in those areas, and it quick follow up. 114 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Do you see the Rod Marinelli influence on Eberflus with 115 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: that front in particular? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, great, thank you. 116 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: Nextly is Rich Garden, followed by William Bendison, and I 117 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: don't see any other hands raised after that, so we'll 118 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: either end there and I'll give it open for one 119 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: last final question after William Rich go ahead, still going 120 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: back to Sunday Sonny Michelle had seventeen carries at three 121 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: yards you're left, and just when you went back looked 122 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: at the tape, what were your thoughts in those plays? Well, 123 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's some what the running 124 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: game is. I mean, not every plays an adr touchdown, 125 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: So like every passes in an ADAR touchdown, there's incomplete 126 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: passes and some runs gain less than others. You hope 127 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: that you stay with it and in the end, you 128 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: know you have production in the overall um that overall 129 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: phase of the game. But yeah, it's because they think, 130 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: remember sure of me, right, you once told me that 131 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: a running back should be able to get two yards 132 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: by dwelling forward. So when you see these smaller runs 133 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: plays that not necessarily just on the running back too, 134 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: it's well, I think if there's a stalemate, it's a 135 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage that back and make a couple of yards. Yeah, 136 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: that's absolutely, But if the play gets blown up or 137 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't really have a chance to get back to 138 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and be able to push the 139 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: pile and hit the gap, then you know, not yet, 140 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily. I mean, you've got at least create a 141 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: stammate on the line of scrimmage to give the back 142 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: of chance. But you know, it seem like Miami that 143 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: has some very athletic players, and you know when they 144 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: bring their linebackers and McDonald off the edge and a 145 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: lot of times those guys are penetrating into the backfield. 146 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: So you have a couple you know, zero and one 147 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: yard games and then you hit a toss outside for 148 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: fifteen yards or you know, hit a playoff the middle 149 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: for ten yards, and those that kind of evens it out. 150 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: So look, not ever plays an adr touchdown in this 151 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: league and they just doesn't happen that way. Sure, Thank you, 152 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: William bendishon go ahead build. Congratulations again on your grant 153 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: second granddaughter. I just wanted to ask you You've used 154 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: a lot of combinations in the front six, especially when 155 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: you play nickel defense, and I think some of that, 156 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: at least it seems just trying to figure out what 157 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: are the best combinations up front. You feel like you're 158 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: closer to that defensively, feeling what are the best combinations 159 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: after four games. Well, all the players that we play 160 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: in there um have earned the playing time, and we 161 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: have confidence putting those players on the field, and they've 162 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: done a good job for us. So I don't think 163 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: we're ever just gonna put eleven guys out there for 164 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: sixty five snaps. Some of it's based on, of course, 165 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: what what our opponents are doing and what our personnel 166 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: matchups are against that opponent. UM. Some of it's based 167 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: on our depth, and some of it's based on game situations. 168 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: So I think there's a place for all those. UM. 169 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Every game is different, every opponent's different, UM, So the 170 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: way each game plays out isn't necessarily for us. It 171 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily for us follow a certain pattern. Just we 172 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: react to what how it's going, and again what what 173 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: we're trying to do and what our opponents are trying 174 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: to do and how those two things match up. So 175 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: I think you'll continue to see UM unless use multiple 176 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: players in our defensive scheme, depending on again those different 177 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: answer that I just mentioned. And I don't think it'll 178 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: just be eleven twelve guys. We're gonna take two final 179 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: questions here, guys, it's gonna be Mike Petraglia first fault, 180 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: and then we'll end with Evan Lazar. Mike, you can 181 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: go ahead. Bill. I wanted to ask you about Bubba. 182 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Obviously you've seen him and know him very well. He's 183 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: getting his chance now as a special teams coordinator. UM. 184 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: A lot of Joe Judge influenced in his special teams 185 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: or as he put his own stamp on the Colts. Unit. Uh, well, 186 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: I think Bubba played Um, you know, both played in 187 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: the league for ten years, and um, the majority of 188 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: that playing time was for Brad Seeley. So I think 189 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: there's a combination of influences from m Brad and Joe. UM. 190 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: So you know, it's probably something you'd have to ask 191 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: him about. I mean, he'd be able to talk more 192 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: about that than I would, but I'd say those are 193 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: the two guys that have dominated his experience in the 194 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: kicking game in the National Football League. Again in different capacities, 195 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: but those those are the two main guys. I mean, 196 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: not getting into head coaches and you know other right, 197 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: other people, but specifically in the kicking game on special teams. Um. 198 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: You know, I would think some combination of those two 199 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: guys would have to be pretty pretty influential for him. Terrific. Thanks, 200 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: you're welcome, And our final question this morning is going 201 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: to be from Evan Lazarre. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, coach, 202 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you what it's like to 203 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: have Julian back in the building and what he brings 204 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: to the offense. Oh sure, yeah, good to having back, um, 205 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: and we'll see. Um, I mean, we didn't practice yesterday, 206 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: So we'll get moving on some things today in terms 207 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: of UM a game plan and UM trying to trying 208 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: to guess as far along on Indianapolis as we can. 209 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: It's obviously gonna be a cramped horse, UM, and so 210 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: we'll just see how it all comes together. I don't know. 211 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: He hasn't been here in a month and it's a 212 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: short week, and we'll just just have to see how 213 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: things work out. Thanks coach. Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you, coach, 214 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Thank you everybody. Thank you.
