Speaker 1: Taylor's Here, Lara Overton's Here. I'm jj Stankovitz. We got

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: a couple of things to talk about today that we

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: did not get to last week. Wrapping up some mini

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: camp observations, getting to a little bit of talk about

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Stefine Gilmore, got a good mail bag question about the

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, which ties into something that Casey talked about

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: on last week's podcast. If you haven't listened to last

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: week's episode of the Colts Official Podcast, represented by win Back,

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and check it out. We had a great

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: interview with Morocco Brown. The Colts recently promoted Chief Personnel Executive.

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: But guys, the first thing we need to get to here,

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Cary Willis retired last week. That was the big news

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: out of fifty sixth straight The Colts safety drafted in

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, is retiring from the NFL after three seasons

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: in order to pursue ministry full time. If you checked

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: out his Instagram post, he kind of laid out his

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: reasoning there. But you know, it's it's an interesting thing

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: when you kind of look back on the Colts offseason,

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: you know. And we'll kind of get into this just

30
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: with the moves they made at safety. But I want

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: to ask you, guys who have been here for Carrie's

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: entire career, how are you going to remember the impact

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Carry Willis made on and off the field here Atapolis.

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: May tas start with you on this? Yeah, no, um,

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: it's good. I'll just remember Carry as you know, the

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: guy that I first interviewed the first time I talked

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: to him on that field at up at Graham Park

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: in Westfield. He was quiet, but a guy that was

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: a hard worker who led by example and he brought

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: it every day. He was Carry was much wiser beyond

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: his years, and I think everybody could get a good

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: gauge for that. He was on gave that great speech

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: at the Big Ten media day before his senior year

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: at college, so you could tell this guy was, you know,

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: really really wise and well put together. And I'll just

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: remember him as a guy that battled through adversity, dealt

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: with injuries. He was there for his team, he was

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: there for his family. Going back to his rookie year.

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: You know, he wouldn't you know that story about him

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: spending the night every night at that hospital with his twins,

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: juggled being a player, being a dad, had to balance

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot of responsibilities, and he did it at a

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: very high level of great football player. And now he's

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: getting a chance to respond to a higher calling, which

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: is beyond cool. So it's it's very very you know,

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: great for him that he's able to, you know, understand

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: what he's about, you know what he's you know, put

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: on this earth to do. And I don't doubt for

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: a minute that he'll lead by example in the ministry

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: aspect of things, just like he did you know with

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. A guy who's going to go all in

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: and bring the energy m every day. But this time,

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: just in a new walk of life, if you will, Lara,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I know you saw Frank Reich's statement that he put out,

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: you know, but in case anyone missed it quote, We're

66
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: thankful and appreciative of Carry's contributions to the Colts, both

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: on and off the field over the last three seasons.

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: Cary's character, leadership, and professionalism will be missed in our

69
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: locker room, as will his play on Sundays. I admire

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: and respect his decision to transition into the next stage

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: of his life and ministry, and my prayers will always

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: be with him. I mean, who better than Frank Reich

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: to support Carry Willis in this journey that he's going on, Lara, right,

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: JJ exactly. I mean, Frank is a guy who, after

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: his playing career, spent time in the ministry, and just

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: last week Frank spent Father's Day weekend leading a sermon

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: at a church within Central Indiana. So it's something even

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: in the offseason that he continues to contribute to and

79
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: still a big part of who he is in compliment

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: to his coaching career and with Carrie. You knew this

81
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: was not going to be a decision that he entered

82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: into lightly. It's clearly something that he has spent a

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: lot of time and investment before making the decision to

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: retire from playing and now invest himself in this next

85
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: chapter of his career. And I talked with him last week,

86
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: traded a few messages with him, and he seemed incredibly

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: at peace. Football is something certainly that he loved, loved

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: being a part of a locker room, loved getting out

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: there and competing. But you know, mate, you mentioned some

90
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: of what he has gone through when he went through,

91
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: especially that rookie year, with his twins being born incredibly premature.

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: That is certainly something that will impact you to your core,

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: will change you as a person, and probably something that

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: would t are you to really evaluate what you're doing

95
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: with your life and if you are called to do

96
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: something different and at the time you're called to do that.

97
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: So I think that this is something that is just

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: so admirable of Kari to have a passion to do

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: this and to be able to examine what he's done

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: to this point in his career and feel fulfilled with

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: what he was able to do in those three seasons

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: and now take this inspiration and this passion that he

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: has to impact impact so many lives, because that's one thing.

104
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: You saw the impact that he had on a locker

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: room on fifty two other guys. You just imagine what

106
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: he can do when he invests himself in ministry and

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: invests himself in that facet moving forward. But truly one

108
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: of the best guys, always had the most insightful conversations,

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: and such a genuine person. His impact will be missed, undoubtedly,

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: but so excited to follow this next chapter of his

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: career and what he'll do. And no doubt I think

112
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: we'll still we'll still hear from him, Guys will keep

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: in touch with him, and we'll kind of keep tabs

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: on what he's doing as he moves forward, just like

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: we do with all of the alumni guys and bring

116
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: him back and you know, do the podcasts or have

117
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: him back for games and all of that. And I

118
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: would expect that Carry would be someone who obviously still

119
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: has those close connections to the organization. You know, we'll

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: hear from him and be sure that we keep tabs

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: on what he's up to moving forward. Yeah, you know,

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: and when you think about the on field impact that

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Carry made, you just think about a good player, you know,

124
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: thirty nine games, thirty three starts, four interceptions, one of

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: those is a pick six he had in twenty twenty.

126
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Batted down a couple of passes for us to fumble,

127
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: had a couple of sacks, two hundred nineteen tackles, seven

128
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. A guy who Mattie Berflus did a really

129
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: good job of knowing when to send him on a

130
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: blitz and when Cary blitzed, he would usually hit home

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: on it, whether that's with a quarterback hit or with

132
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: a sack. You know, this does leave a bit of

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: a void in the Colts defense, but the Welts are

134
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: pretty well insulated when it comes to the safety position.

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, you go back to the offseason signing Rodney McLeod,

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: a veteran with you know, a decade of starting experience.

137
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Armani Watts, you know, a veteran backup special teams guy,

138
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, spent his first four years of his ear

139
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and then going back and trading into

140
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: the third round to get Nick Cross ninety six. Overall,

141
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: this is a if you're going to lose someone at

142
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: a position you're you feel okay about your depth as

143
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: safety and as we were talking about this when we

144
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: were kind of off air last week, you know, digesting

145
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: the news about Cary. You know, we were talking about okay,

146
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, Rodney McLeod and Julian Blackman and by the way,

147
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Julian looks awesome, Like you would not know that Julian

148
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Blackman tour is Achilles seven and a half months ago

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: watching him out on the practice field during OTA's in minicamp.

150
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: So if you're starting safeties are Julian Blackman and Rodney McLoud,

151
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: but Nick Cross is able to compete, you know for

152
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: a starting spot. That's a good situation to be in

153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: where you've got two veterans and you've got a an

154
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: ascending rookie who the Colts really really value his skill set.

155
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, you know, sit here and

156
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: be like the Colts are are totally fine at safety

157
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: because you know, even with carry willis retiring, because there

158
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: are some things that still need to play out, but

159
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: you feel good about where the team is. Like I

160
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: had a couple of friends text me after Cary retired

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: being like, okay, well, like who's available, who's out there?

162
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Who can the Colts go and sign, who can they

163
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: trade for it, and I was like, I don't think

164
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: they really need to. I don't think they need to

165
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: go address it. If you look at, you know, the

166
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: move the Colts did to uh, you know, take Cary

167
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Willis's spot on the roster. They went and signed h

168
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: fad od Ningbo. Did I pronounce that right? May take

169
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: it's Affetti, thank you, Affetti o Dangbo. They got a

170
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: dio with Dangbo and an Afetio Dangbo. But they went

171
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: out and signed a defensive end. They didn't go immediately

172
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: replace Curry Willis with another safety, and I think that

173
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: speaks to the depth that the Colts have at that position.

174
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: And the only reason I know of Fetti is because

175
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: he played on a team. I don't know which one

176
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, but he played for

177
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: a team the Colts played last year. So that's why. Phonetically, yeah, probably, yeah,

178
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: probably they all run together, you know when you play

179
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: twenty games. But no, I think you're exactly right. I

180
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: think it's a battle right now between Julian Blackman, who,

181
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: as you said, j J looks fantastic out there, is

182
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: so ahead of schedule, barring no setbacks in his rehab,

183
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be out there, and I think McLeod and

184
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. Cross can absolutely play. He's got instincts, speed, physicality.

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean that was all over his college tape. He

186
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: can play free safety, he can play strong safety. It's

187
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: pretty evident that that dude wants to tackle and he's

188
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: not afraid of contact. But don't overlook the leadership, the experience,

189
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: the wisdom of Rodney mcleoud. Like you said, you know

190
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: a wealth of experience, you know, starting ten years, you know,

191
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of different franchises, most recently the Eagles.

192
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: It's going to be really interesting to see what happens

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: leading into the regular season in Week one, Will it

194
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: be the guy who has a ton of upside and

195
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Nick Cross that has a chance to be the future

196
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: on a rookie deal playing in his first NFL game,

197
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: sort of that baptism by fire mentality, Lara or somebody,

198
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: do you go with a ton of experience that can

199
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: help guide the secondary When you're trying to get off

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: to a good start, right you're on the road, it's

201
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: a division game. You're trying to set the tone for

202
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: the season, get off to a good start, which has

203
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: been a bugaboo for the franchise, right, haven't won a

204
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Week one game since twenty thirteen, looking for your first

205
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: division championship since twenty fourteen, Lara, how do you look

206
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: at it? Would you start the guy that has a

207
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: ton of upside, not the McLoud doesn't, but would you

208
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: like that that guiding force, you know, feel kind of

209
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: comfortable and confident that the guy back there and a

210
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: really import game Week one has a ton of experience,

211
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, with a run of Rodney McLeod. I love

212
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: Rodney McLeod immediately the first time we talked to him.

213
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: He came in, he had presence, he had command. He

214
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: is a guy who enters into the room kind of

215
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: like what Mike Mitchell did a few years ago when

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: he stepped into the locker room and played that single season.

217
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: It was a similar sense that I got from a

218
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: guy who is an immediate impact contributor. And I think

219
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: that this situation is well suited to the dynamic you

220
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: have with your defensive backgroup now where you have coach

221
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Ron Milis leading that group, but also Mike Mitchell as

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: the assistant to that group. So Mike's in a position

223
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: where he's not so far removed. What two three years

224
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,479
Speaker 1: removed from his own playing career, and he can immediately

225
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: embrace that group and be that almost hybrid vet player

226
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: coach with that group under the leadership, the tutelage, the

227
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: fantastic experience that ron Milos has of leading a number

228
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: of different defenses, especially success in the secondary. So, yeah,

229
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: I think Ronnie McCloud is you know the word, the

230
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: phrase plug and play I think is overused, but he

231
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of is. He is that guy who can step

232
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: right in and be that immediate crenter your week one.

233
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: You don't know yet if Julian Blackman is going to

234
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: be ready. You don't want to rush him to be ready.

235
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: And you're really excited about what Nick Cross gives you

236
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: in the long term perspective, in that broad outlook. So

237
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: and then you have a Ronnie Watts as well. So

238
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: you have a wealth of kind of different variations in

239
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: different guys, different skill sets that complement each other well.

240
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: So it's going to be an interesting scenario in training

241
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: camp when you see how those guys are working together

242
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: and which combinations are working together within this defense. Because

243
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, on a Gus Bradley system, the safeties are

244
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: imperative high caliber safety play is one of those things

245
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: that Gus calls upon, So that part of you know,

246
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: not to harp on a point that we've made time

247
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: and time again this sing. But that's what made this

248
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: spring and that early summer period so critical is all

249
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: of those guys have been in here from day one.

250
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: They were all participating in the majority of the OTAs

251
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: and of course Mini camp as well. So that's going

252
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: to pay dividends when you get to late July, you're

253
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: getting there into Grand Park and you are looking to

254
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: a group that is playing almost at a mid season level,

255
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: but doing it at the beginning of this season. To

256
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: your point, that's an area that's a time frame in

257
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: which the Colts have struggled as late. But you have

258
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: a group right now that's ready to step up and

259
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: do that. And you know, it's not like this is

260
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: abrupt from Cary. We know that he was excused from

261
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Mini camp. He clearly was taking his time to deliberate

262
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: on that decision. So that group's already been playing together

263
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: and you know, JJ you mentioned how well Julian Blackman

264
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: has looked of late, so you have great encouragement from

265
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: that perspective as well. But tons of confidence in this group,

266
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: not only because the guys you have, but the leadership

267
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: that you had that stems from Ron Mielis and then

268
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: in compliment to it, Mike Mitchell as well well. And

269
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: don't discount the possibility for some three safety looks too.

270
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: That's something that's kind of coming into vogue around the NFL.

271
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: Colts got three safeties you could probably feel okay putting

272
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: out there. And one just quick note to wrap this up.

273
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't want you know, we talk about Rodney McLoud

274
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: and the veteran impact that he brings, and you know

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: that he can kind of be in that Mike Mitchell role,

276
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: which is really important, but I don't want to sell

277
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: his playing skills short. Over the last three seasons, the

278
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: lowest passer rating allowed when targeted among safeties with a

279
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: minimum of seventy targets. Number five Jordan Poyer on the

280
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Bills sixty four point five, Number four, Micah Hyde also

281
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: on the Bills, sixty point eight, Number three, Devin McCarty,

282
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: of course of the New England Patriots at fifty five

283
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: point five. Number two Harrison Smith, the future Hall of

284
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: Fame safety for the Minnesota Vikings fifty four point eight

285
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: and number one Rodney McCleod forty eight point six. So

286
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: he can still ball a little bit. Let's not sell

287
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: him short, all right, Let's talk a little bit more

288
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: about any other Uh, you know, things we noticed in

289
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: mini camp may tell you know, you know you weren't

290
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: on the podcast last who you were down in Key

291
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: West celebrating your anniversary. Uh at the anniversary, by the way,

292
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: get a little tan on down there a little bit

293
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: to the degree that I can. Right, hopefully you weren't

294
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: thinking too much about you were down there. But you know,

295
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: I think I did pretty good this time, Lara. Normally

296
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: you're right, um, but this time, I don't know, Like what, JJ,

297
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: what what would you say? This is? I mean, it's

298
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: not going at about a four and a half. Yeah,

299
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not a complete red crab. Look, it's it's more

300
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't say bronze. It wouldn't go as far

301
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: to say bronze, JJ, you use them there. I was

302
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: very diligent about the thirty. Normally I'm like, you know,

303
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: T shirt or fifty I was. I was pretty diligent

304
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: and I have I have more color now than I

305
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: have in probably ten years. Let's put it that way, Well,

306
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: it was a great time. It was a fantastic time.

307
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Sounds like a fantast I appreciate you guys. Hold down

308
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the fourth though, yeah, of course, really quickly though, talking

309
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: about anniversaries, A big congratulations to Colts quarterbacks Sam Ellinger

310
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: who got married. Yeast the number of the guys were

311
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: out there to celebrate with him. So excited for Sam

312
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: and his wife, So congratulations to them. So mate, just

313
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts, you know a little bit

314
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: on mini camp here. What did you learn about the

315
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: Colts wide receiver competition and where it stands in terms of,

316
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we know where Michael Pittman's going to be,

317
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: but figuring out who the number two is, who the

318
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: number three is, and then figuring out which of those

319
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: guys is going to make the roster. What sort of

320
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: foundational knowledge do you gain during OTA's and mini camp

321
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: about I think the Colts came out of camp or

322
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: mini camp that is pretty confident in what they have.

323
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: And to a man, when you talk to these guys

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: on the side, like Paris Campbell or Ashton do or

325
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Desmond Patman, they all said they've heard the noise all

326
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: season long about how the fan base or the analysts

327
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: people think they should bring in a veteran. There's not

328
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: enough playmakers, there's not enough experience in this group, and

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: as of now, the Colts feel like they haven't felt

330
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: the need to to go that route. I mean, had

331
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: many camp gone poorly from the receiver angle, I'm sure

332
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: a move would have been made by now. So the

333
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: fact that it's you know, status quo heading into training

334
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: camp tells me the Colts like the upside of the group.

335
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan can continue to kind of help turn these

336
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: guys into reliable weapons on offense. They're being asked to

337
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: handle more in just because again we've said this ad nauseum,

338
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't. But it's

339
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: about eight guys right now competing for only a couple

340
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: of spots because Pittman, Pierce, Campbell doing all of those

341
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: guys are making this team if they stay healthy. So

342
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: that leaves about two spots open for Desmond Patman, Mike Strown,

343
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: ke qt to Michael Harris and mothers to make the

344
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: last spots, assuming the Colts keep about six receivers on

345
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: the roster. JJ. Yeah, and I think the what I

346
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: want to see out of training camp. Is is kind

347
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: of similar to what we saw last year where a

348
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: guy like a guy and Mike Strawn really emerged during

349
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: camp and it didn't wind up translating to him getting

350
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: a you know, a lot of playing time, a lot

351
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: of targets in the regular It begged the question, what

352
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: are we seeing? How how translatable is this? But I

353
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: think I think that stuff matters for later in the season.

354
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: The Colts didn't need to call on Mike Strawn as

355
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: it turned out, but if they did, I think those

356
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: reps he got, the knowledge, he gained, the experience he gained. Um,

357
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: I think that would really help if he needed to

358
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: go later in the season. But you just want to

359
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: see good competition. That that's what you want to see.

360
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: You want to see, Hey, Tesmond Patman went out there

361
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: and made a great play. Now all right, Mike Strown,

362
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: you go out and do the same thing. You know,

363
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: you want to see that the competition breeding more success there. Um.

364
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: We also heard a little bit a couple of weeks

365
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: ago from Matt Ryan. I'm getting in synclin rhythm with

366
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: his receivers in the off season. Um, let's just take

367
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: a little listen to what Matt had to say about that.

368
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: I definitely think it starts now. You know, there's there's

369
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: so much how that goes into just kind of understanding

370
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: guy's body language, how they move, um, you know, with

371
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: their catch radius is you know, how how how they

372
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: track balls in the air, um, and just you know

373
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: them getting a feel for how my ball comes in

374
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: and timing. And I think all those things are are

375
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: really important. And you know, I think we've made good strides.

376
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, from from a passing standpoint, I

377
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: do think you get a lot of good work in

378
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: the past game this time of the year, which is

379
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: which is nice. And so I do think we've you know,

380
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: we've come a long way and from where we were

381
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, first time, you know, throwing with each other,

382
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: to where we are right now, it's a lot better.

383
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: So again, a cool thing Matt Ryan's doing here is

384
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: he's going in small groups. Um you know, he said,

385
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, a little bit um. You know, he

386
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: only has one arm, and that delved into a whole

387
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: terrible idea I had about having a you know, du

388
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: alarm quarterback last week that we don't need to get

389
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: back into an m and dexterous quarterback. Is that Yeah,

390
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: it was a great idea. It was a great idea,

391
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: Matt a robot quarterback. No, No, like literally a guy

392
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: could throw I'm not doing this again. I'm not doing

393
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: this bit again. I'm sorry. It was all over the podcast.

394
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Lara literally looked at Casey and gave Casey a look

395
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: like what is he talking? Sorry? Anyways? Uh. Later on

396
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: Albert Brewer from Sports Illustrated talk to Matt Ryan, who

397
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: said he's going to throw in groups like two I

398
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: think is what he said. Okay, so that's good to

399
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: just really develop that chemistry that you know you could

400
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: already see starting to develop with a guy like Nihim Hines,

401
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: who we do want to keep talking about here just

402
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: because again, you know, he's been kind of one of

403
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: these stories of the last couple of months here, so

404
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: you know it's Nihim Heinz got a lot of work

405
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: at receiver during mini camp during OTA's you know, kind

406
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: of helping with his route running, his footwork. You're having

407
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Reggie Wayne pretty nice, you know to

408
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: learn from there. So is Nihim Heinz. Is he gonna

409
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: have the best season of his career? Mattay. We talked

410
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: about this last week a little bit on the podcast.

411
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: But from your perspective, you've seen every snap Nihem Hines

412
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: has taken in his NFL career. You know what he

413
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: can do. You know how he can make defenses change

414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: their math or change what they're able to do. What

415
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: can he do if he's lined up a little more

416
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver this year, or out of the backfield,

417
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, if he's a little more involved

418
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: in the passing game, because that set him up for

419
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: the best, most productive season of his career. I think

420
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: it does. You know, it's not lip service when Frank

421
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: Reich says you should draft this guy on your fantasy team.

422
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: I don't think it's lip service. When Chris Ballard at

423
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: the combine, you know, calls out Naim Hines and says

424
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: he's one of their top three playmakers on offense with

425
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior and Jonathan Taylor. So based on what

426
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: we've seen so far this offseason, I do indeed think

427
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: he's destined for the best season of his career because

428
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: he'll be used as a running back, he'll be used

429
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. I think he'll routinely get you

430
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: about fifty scrimmage yards per game, if not more next season.

431
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: And Larry, he looked like the fastest guy on the

432
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: field during Mini camps, always the fastest guy on the field,

433
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: but he looks even faster. So I think the fact

434
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: that he can play in the slot certainly adds another

435
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: dimension to the offense because he's a running back that

436
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: can be used as a wide receiver. He'll take advantage

437
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: of the middle of the field. He'll take advantage of

438
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: matchups against nickel corners, he'll take an advantage of matchups

439
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: against linebackers. So from a roster construction standpoint, Larry, it's

440
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: like having, you know, a seventh wide receiver on the roster,

441
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: and he's a playmaker. He can run all the routes.

442
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: You know. He had one of the highlights of Mini camp,

443
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, on a wheel route in the end zone

444
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: during a red zone drill. Beautiful pass from Matt Ryan

445
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: over the shoulder catch. So I just think it takes

446
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a pressure off the need of

447
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: this offense because he is a running back but also

448
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: can act as you know, maybe that veteran wide receiver Lara,

449
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: that a lot of the fan base has been clamoring

450
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: about it, and in terms of how the Colts need

451
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: that guy, maybe that guy can be Naim Hines well.

452
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting is in the last few

453
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: weeks when I've looked up the different stories and things

454
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: on Nihim and his contributions, there have been a number

455
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: of articles in compliment too that have popped up in

456
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: the Google search referencing Deebo Samuel, Like, I mean, that's

457
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: a very unique person, a very unique player, and how

458
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: they utilized him certainly. But I thought that was interesting

459
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: that there were those comparisons that were floating around out there.

460
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: And it's of course that time of year when everyone's

461
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: wanting to speculate and draw comparisons and do all those

462
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: different things. But to me, that was something that was

463
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: really intriguing. But you're exactly right, in this speed of

464
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: Nihim Hines was on display like we have not seen

465
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: it before. And I don't know if part of that's

466
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen this spring period and so long,

467
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: because it's been modified or we've had limited access. It's like,

468
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: has maybe he looked like this last year and we

469
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: just weren't aware of it. Maybe he looked like this

470
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: two years ago, and there was no sort of ota

471
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: period that we were exposed to it, because there's a

472
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: difference in what you're doing in the spring and then

473
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing in training camp and how you're getting

474
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: ready for the season. But Nahem is a guy who

475
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: always prioritizes his speed. In the spring, he goes back

476
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: to Raleigh, He'll do a bunch of track workouts and

477
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: all of that type of work so that he is

478
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: emphasizing that speed, that breakaway speed that he wants to

479
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: be able to contribute. And one of the things I

480
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: thought that was really funny that is telling to the

481
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: dynamic that is forming between Nahem and Matt Ryan is

482
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: there was a quote from when Nahem did media availability

483
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago and he said that Matt's birthday

484
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: was like two or three weeks ago, and he asked

485
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: him how old are you? Matt Ryan's like him thirty nine,

486
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: and Nahem's said, I was like, dang, I thought you

487
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: were older. Philip was like thirty nine. I thought he

488
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: was that age. So I just thought that this was

489
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: like such a so funny that you have Nahem like,

490
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: oh man, you're kind of old, Like You're kind of

491
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: reminded me of Philip, which is so funny to me,

492
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: and I love that kind of banter. And Nahem is

493
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: one of those guys who's so darnlikable he can kind

494
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: of get away with that knock on his new quarterback

495
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: a little bit by joking with him about, you know,

496
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: being up near that Philip Rivers type of age. But

497
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: also I think it compliments or goes back to the

498
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: points we've made in the similarities. You know, Reggie Wayne

499
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: has obviously called out the similarities between Matt and Peyton.

500
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of similarities between Matt's presence on

501
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: the field and you know, Philip Rivers and you know

502
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: how he was able to quickly assimilate into that locker

503
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: room and was immediately beloved by his teammates, and kind

504
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: of similar situations Philip spending the entirety of his career

505
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: with the Chargers before coming to Indianapolis, Matt spending the

506
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: entirety of his career with Atlanta before coming to the Colts.

507
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: So I thought that that was a funny little sidebar

508
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: from Mini camp was that guy's choking with Matt a

509
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: little bit about his age. But I think that some

510
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: of that does come from, you know, what he brings

511
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: into that offense, that leadership, that level of expectation, the

512
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: way that he calls guys to rise up to a

513
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: particular level, not just in how they play, but how

514
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: you show up in meetings, how you conduct yourself when

515
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: you're on the field, what you're doing before practice, after practice,

516
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: all of those things. Matt is one of those guys

517
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: who could be vocal and certainly lead by voice and

518
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: lead by his command on the field, but he also

519
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: is a lead by example guy as well. He's spent

520
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: immense extra time around the facility, you know, making sure

521
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: that he's in meetings with the coaching staff with the

522
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: rest of the offense. You mentioned how he's going and

523
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: having these small group throwing sessions, and I think that

524
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: to the conversation on wide receivers. I think that those

525
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: breakoff sessions that Matt is leading with a variety of

526
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: pass catchers, that will be really telling come training camp,

527
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: how guys were jelling, how guys were working together, and

528
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: how they took the opportunity that they had to work

529
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: with Matt and then implemented that to what they did

530
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: over the course of the remainder of the summer in

531
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: preparation for training camp. I think those things will show

532
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: themselves pretty early and pretty often when you get to

533
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: that first week in Westfield. So just real quick to

534
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: wrap up on nihem Hines because I didn't get to

535
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: this stat last week. But in twenty twenty, which so

536
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: far has been probably the best year of nihim Hin's career,

537
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: the most productive year he led, he was the highest

538
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: graded receiving running back by Pro Football Focus. That year.

539
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: He was third in receiving yards behind albun Kamara and

540
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: j D. McKissick. He had four hundred ninety receiving yards

541
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: that year. Four hundred and eighty three of those came

542
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: after the catch. So again, that's the kind of talent

543
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: that nihem Hines has. Just get the ball in his hands,

544
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna make something happen. But that year, he only

545
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: ran eight and a half percent of his pass snaps

546
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: out of the slot, which is pretty high for a

547
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: running back, but it can be higher, you know, you

548
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: look at some of the other guys, even like a

549
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: guy like Chase Edmonds that year who's now in the

550
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. He ran twenty five percent of his snaps

551
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: out of the slot. That season, se Quon Barkley has

552
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: run twenty percent out of the slot, So there is

553
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: definitely room for growth there. And I think that's what

554
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: you're seeing the Colts try to do right now, is

555
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: even if you can up that from you know, eight

556
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: to ten percent to fifteen percent of Nihemhins snaps out

557
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: of the slot, that is again going to challenge defenses

558
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: in a way that makes it difficult. If you want

559
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: to play bass personnel and you got Nihem Hinds in

560
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: the slot, you got a matched up against that's trouble

561
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: you want, you know, you get him out there, even

562
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: if he's matched up against the safety. Right, that's a

563
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: pretty good look. But if you want, hey you want

564
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: to nickel out there, all right, throw Jonathan Taylor at you.

565
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: There are so many different things you can do because

566
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: of Nihimhein's presence. Really excited to see how that plays out.

567
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: Another guy, I'm excited how to see he plays out.

568
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: That didn't make any sense. Another guy who I knew

569
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: what you meant to see how it plays out is

570
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: with Stefan Gilmore and how he transitions in to Gus

571
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Bradley's defense. I had a chance to chat a little

572
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: bit with Stefan during Mini camp, and I want to

573
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: play that conversation here before we kind of start talking

574
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: about him. What's the process been like just kind of

575
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: getting down Gus's defense over the last couple weeks here,

576
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: It's been fun, you know. You know, I always love

577
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: us from Afar, you know, his defense is always great.

578
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it's been fun, you know, just coming

579
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: in and learning the scheme, you know, and learning from

580
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: the guys around that's been in the scheme, like Bason

581
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: and those guys. So I'm just looking for its opportunity,

582
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: learning from the coaches and making plays from my teammates.

583
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: What stood out to you about how your skill set

584
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: can fit in this defense at this point right now?

585
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: A lot stood out. You know, I know this scheme,

586
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in the league for a while,

587
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I see, you know, how those guys played,

588
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it fits my style of

589
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: play a lot, you know, So it's only going to

590
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: help me make plays, you know. Just I just got

591
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: to keep putting day in and day out, putting the

592
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: work and making working on my technique and trusting my

593
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: teammates and go from there. Something Gusts said is that

594
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: you're able to play both the red corner and the

595
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: Zebra corner on the outside without giving away too much

596
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: of the scheme. What are the different responsibilities of those

597
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: positions and how do you fit in those? Yeah, for sure,

598
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: you know you got to be versatile. You know, you

599
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: can't be one dimensional. Whatever they asked me to do,

600
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it to the best of my

601
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: ability and do it well. So I'm just looking forward

602
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: to it. Just keep learning day in and day out.

603
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Finished off to Mars Strong and going to training camp.

604
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: We get to see you out on the practice field

605
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: and the stuff you're doing out there. But what has

606
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: it been like behind the scenes with meetings, study, just

607
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of learning some of the intricacies of this defense.

608
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: It's been good, you know, just like I like you say,

609
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: the film room, it's been great. You know, my love

610
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: and you know on us every day, you know, teaching us,

611
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, technique and how are we going to do this?

612
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: And everyone's taking it serious. You know, That's what I like.

613
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Use ultimate good is to be great on the field,

614
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: and everybody want that. So um, it's fun to be

615
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: in a group like that and um, it puts the

616
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: work in and you know, this guy's alement from there.

617
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: You know, you're going on a decade in the NFL.

618
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: You're a former Defensive Player of the Year, accomplished a lot.

619
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: But how is it learning something new and just kind

620
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: of getting the detail down of something that you know,

621
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: a system that you maybe haven't been in before. Does

622
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: it kind of make you feel like rejuvenated at all?

623
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's new. I mean you will think

624
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: it's new. I did it in New England and Buffalo,

625
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: but it's just sometimes I didn't do it as much.

626
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, It's to be honest, football, it's football. It's

627
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: just uh, you know, it's just exting those how they

628
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: running their route. You know, when you get the scheme down.

629
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: The ultimate goal is to stop the offense. So that's

630
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: the part that you know, I really take pride in

631
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: the studying the offense and knowing what they're gonna do

632
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: before they do it. But what stood out to you

633
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: about the offense you've been facing out here in practice?

634
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Michael Pittman Junior. Some of those guys, those

635
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: guys get after it every day, you know, Pittman us

636
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: you know all those guys, Um, they they're pushing us

637
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: every day. You know, they're making contested catches. You know

638
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice, you know, he's been making plays for a

639
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: long time. He's and he's he can put the ball anywhere.

640
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: So I'm happy to you know, be competing with those

641
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: guys on the field every day. It's gonna make us

642
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: a lot better. Let's been for us to find it.

643
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Has the culture here been kind of what you expected

644
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: it to be. It's great, man, It's it's uh, it's

645
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: a good group. You know, it's you know, the coaches,

646
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, pushing us. The players want to be great. Um,

647
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to it. You know, it's

648
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. You know, it's the ultimate goal is

649
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: to win on Sundays. But I think we're putting that

650
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Stuf in there just gotta keep every day and carried

651
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: it over his training care all right. So I think

652
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: the interesting thing that I took away from what Stefan

653
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: said is I did kind of ask him a little

654
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 1: bit a couple of times about the transition to Gus's defense,

655
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: and he kind of made the point of, like, you know, look,

656
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: I've been around a while I've played in this, so

657
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: I went I looked at it, and over his career,

658
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour has played a lot in Cover three, which

659
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: is kind of the typical Gus Bradley coverage scheme. And

660
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: he's played a lot of press in Cover three one

661
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four press snaps and Cover three nine

662
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six and Cover one, which is obviously

663
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: what you would expect when you're going with Cover one.

664
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: Those are the two general coverages that Gus Bradley has

665
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: played the most in his career, used the most, and

666
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Cover one and Cover three. This was interesting though, So

667
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, that's when Gilmore was the AP Defensive Player

668
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: of the Year that year. When he was playing and

669
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: Cover three and he wasn't pressing, he allowed a fifteen

670
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: point eight passer rating. Like that's like you might as

671
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: well just not even throw the ball his way. If

672
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: you just don't throw the balls to find Gilmore's way,

673
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: it's a thirty nine point six passer rating, like up

674
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: to fifty fifty eight point the perfect one. Yeaheah. So

675
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: that was like, yeah, so that that just shows again

676
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: like Gilmore has experience and he is experienced playing at

677
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: a very high level in this mate. Though, when you

678
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: think about where Gilmour is in his career, he's into

679
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: his thirties. He the physical traits do not look like

680
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: they have dropped off. The detail with which he plays

681
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: is only increasing. How do you think his skill set

682
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: fits the way that Gus Bradley wants to play? And

683
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: just for a little bit of context here, I think

684
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: every defensive coordinator wants to have a press corner right.

685
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: That just changes your math as a as a defense

686
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: takes one receiver out right. But Gus Bradley has not

687
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: had someone who can do that. The last time a

688
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley defense was in the top half of the

689
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: NFL and playing press coverage was twenty seventeen, his first

690
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: year with the LA Chargers. The last time he was

691
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: in the top ten was twenty fifteen with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

692
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: The Vegas last year was twenty fourth. The Chargers were

693
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, thirty second, twenty eighth and fourteenth in his

694
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: time there. So I think again, Josie Gus, if he

695
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: can play press, he's gonna play it, but he needs

696
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: the guys to do It's the guy to do it, Yeah,

697
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: I think absolutely. I mean the way that Stefan Gilmore

698
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: has shown that he can play on an island throughout

699
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: the course of his career is perfect for what Gus

700
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: Bradley wants to do because I think the Colts will

701
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: play a ton of press man maybe more than we think.

702
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: And again that's Gilmore's strength. I still think he can

703
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: cover at an elite level and he's thrived on being

704
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: on an island in his career in coverage. And the

705
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: Colts in general are going to expect their corners to

706
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: play very physical DeLine of scrimmage and that's gonna it's

707
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: sort of that Ying and Yang. It's that accordion piece,

708
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, the defensive line in concert with the secondary

709
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: and vice first, that's gonna help the pass rush get home.

710
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: If the secondary is allowing no free releases, no big

711
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: plays down the field, that helps the pass rush. And

712
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: I think the Colts because of that, with those two

713
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: things benefiting, I should say with a guy like Stefan

714
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: Gilmour and Unique and Ghakway, you've got two premium players

715
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: at premium positions on either side of that accordion piece,

716
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are in store to remedy their

717
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: high completion percentage allowed, their big plays allowed by elite quarterbacks.

718
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: That's been the bugaboo the last couple of years. So

719
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: if you can if you can fix those two problematic

720
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: things on defense the last two years, the rest of

721
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: the defense has shown that it's elite in the other areas,

722
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: right and slowing down the run and taking the football away.

723
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: If you take away those two things, or remedy those

724
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: two things high completion percentage and big plays allowed, then

725
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: I think you have the potential la for a complete

726
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: defense with guys like Darius Leonard at linebacker DeForrest Buckner

727
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: and Unique and Gatway upfront, Stefan Gilmore, and then Kenny Moore,

728
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: who's an elite level player at his nickel corner position.

729
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that you we harped

730
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: on all off season when you brought these new pieces in,

731
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of the not only from the perspective

732
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: of new players looking to guys like Unique and Stefan,

733
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: but when the coaching staff came in, when Gus Bradley

734
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: came in, Richard Smith, Rod Eilis everyone. One of the

735
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: things that they all emphasized is this is a defense

736
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: that has a Pro Bowl player at every level of

737
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: the defense. And now you just added a couple of

738
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: guys to that already because you already had DeForrest and

739
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: Darius and Kenny, then you had Stefan, you had Unique,

740
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: you had your draft guys like Nick Cross in there.

741
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's absolutely a very high level of expectation

742
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: because there were times that with this defense, especially last year,

743
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: the foundation was really solid, but they seem to have

744
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: lacked that next level. They didn't take that leap that

745
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: they were looking for. In terms of their production. They

746
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: were outstanding, you know in the takeaway game, outstanding at

747
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: creating turnovers. But there was a sense of it was

748
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: time for this defense to evolve. These guys needed to

749
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: be challenged, needed to be pushed, And I think this

750
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: is a perfect opportunity when you not only have new

751
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: leadership with Gus Bradley, but you also have contributing factors

752
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: like guys who come in with a wealth of experience,

753
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: a guy like Nike and Gahway who can help the

754
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: young pass rushers, Dioe, gangbo Quitty, pay Ben Banagu. They

755
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: can help across that front. And JJ and I talked

756
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: with Unique just a couple of weeks ago, and I

757
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: mean he could have gone on and on right JJ

758
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: about Quitty pay and how much that they've enjoyed working

759
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: together already. Then you think about having a Stefan Gilmour

760
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: and what he can do in that group, working with

761
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: the remainder of those young corners who he has surrounding

762
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: him as well to help elevate those So, yeah, you

763
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: already had such a high caliber of production. Now with

764
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: the pieces you added and a little bit of an

765
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: evolution in scheme, certainly this is a top tier defense.

766
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: It is going to be looked upon to have high

767
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: level of production in a multitude of facets. There are

768
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: just a couple of things I've been thinking about with

769
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: the Colts defense, and again, you know we're about a

770
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: month out, a little more than a month out from

771
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: training camp. But just how some of these things play out,

772
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: and they're a little they're a little more like they're

773
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: not as obvious as how ste find gilmore going to

774
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: impact it. How's unique and gotua because those things you

775
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: can already see it, right, But I want to know,

776
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: I want to see what John Fox's influence can be

777
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: here because it's not like Fox is coming in to

778
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: change the scheme. Gus Bradley is going to run what

779
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: he runs. But John Fox has this base in running quarters,

780
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: which is not something that Gus Bradley has run a

781
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: whole lot in his career, but it is something that

782
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: is becoming a little more in vogue from teams around

783
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: the NFL running it on early downs, so first and

784
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: second down, running a lot of quarters. Is that something

785
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: that John Fox can bring? Hey, for these specific matchups

786
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: like when we play the Chiefs where Patrick Mahomes has

787
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: had a lot of success against cover three in his career,

788
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: can we throw that wrinkle in of we're gonna play

789
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: a lot of quarters on early downs or we're gonna

790
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: drop eight into coverage like the Bengals did in the

791
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: AFC Championship. That little influence, I'm fascinated to see how

792
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: that plays out, or even if it just like Frankreich said,

793
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: even if it just puts that little sea of doubt.

794
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Sure you know your game planning and you're like, huh,

795
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: John Fox is there. I wonder if they're going to

796
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: play a little more quarters. Yeah, Just that little thought

797
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: can spawn a lot more things that come out on

798
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: Sundays and then the other thing we already talked about

799
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: it a little bit is that three safety look. Could

800
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: the Colts, because of their depth as safety, deploy that. Again, situationally,

801
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: it's not like they're going to rely on that, But

802
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you've got Nick Cross, Roden mccloude,

803
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: and Julian Blackman on the field at the same time.

804
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: What advantages does that give you against certain offenses and

805
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: certain schemes you're going to face. There are a lot

806
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: of different things this team again because Larah, like you mentioned,

807
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: you kind of need this evolution, this refresh. You were

808
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: in the Matdiberflu scheme for four years and there were

809
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: little tweaks that he did along the way, but this

810
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: is a big one now coming in with Gus Bradley's scheme,

811
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: and just how can you use the talent you have

812
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: in this roster and use the personnel you have and

813
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: the coaches you have to kind of be a little

814
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: less predictable in some things and give these little wrinkles

815
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: that can give you just that, like Frank likes to say,

816
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: a one percent edge on game day. There are a

817
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of really interesting things to get into with this defense.

818
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: The other thing that we're looking at. You mentioned Quitty Pay,

819
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: and I want to talk a little bit about some

820
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: sophomore jumps. I just read in The Athletic Nate Tye,

821
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: who does a tremendous job writing for them podcasting for them,

822
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: he pad Quitti Pay as his breakout candidate for the

823
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: twenty two season among second year offensive events. Let's go here.

824
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh wow, the Colts have six players entering their second

825
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: year in the NFL from being drafted last year. Quitty Paid,

826
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: Dioo Dangbo, Kylan Grandson, Sam Ellinger, the new married man,

827
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: Mike Strown, and Will Fries. Of those guys, maytan Laro

828
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: and throw this out to you, guys, which player is

829
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: ready for a the biggest jump going into year two

830
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: from those guys who were drafted last year. So again, Quitty, Dio, Grandson, Ellinger, Strown,

831
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: Fries may take who you got. I've got to agree

832
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: with Nate. It has to be Quitty Pay because if

833
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: you look at those six, you know from a role

834
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: production standpoint, you know what the team needs out of

835
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: each of those guys. Quitty is going to be asked,

836
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: I think the most of because he's a starter, opposite

837
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: of unique and Goackway. You know, the addition of Ingackway

838
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: on the right side, if you will, of the defensive line,

839
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: that's going to take pressure off of Quitty because now

840
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: he's on the left side of the defensive line and

841
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: he's not going to be going up against left tackles.

842
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: He's going to be able to beat, you know, some

843
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: right tackles and take advantage of some of those matchups.

844
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: And he admitted during minicamp a couple of weeks ago

845
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: that his better side of the line is the left

846
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: side because he thinks he has more power, more burst

847
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: from that side with his dominant right hand down right.

848
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: So last year he had four sacks. I think he

849
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: could double that, maybe even reach for greater heights. I

850
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised later if he's at if he's at

851
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: ten sacks by like week fifteen or sixteen, with a

852
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: couple of games to go in the regular season. So

853
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: out of those guys, I'm going with Quitty, do you

854
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: agree or is there another guy that's maybe like a

855
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a dark horse among those other five?

856
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: I a hundred percent agree. I'm going to say, just

857
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: forsake of conversation to have someone else, as you know,

858
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: kind of a second choice is dioa Dango purely because

859
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: it's a guy who wasn't available until the last day

860
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: of October. I mean he played in his first game

861
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: of the season October thirty first, that Halloween game, so

862
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: he missed nearly half of the season. So by pure

863
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: availability and the fact that when we heard from him

864
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: over OTAs he was very candid and saying he was healed,

865
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: but he wasn't one hundred percent playing himself, didn't have

866
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: all of the confidence that he needed coming off of

867
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: that repaired achilles. So I think that that's my next

868
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: guy to take a leap is Dio Daguo. I think

869
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: Quitty is definitely the number one. I do think Dio

870
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: just behind that from a sure from a sheer availability

871
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: standpoint and looking at the rest of those guys, I mean,

872
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: when you look at Kyl and Granson is going to

873
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: be in a heavy tight end battle there is there

874
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys up there who are going

875
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: to be fighting for catches in there, Mike Strawn as well,

876
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: very crowded wide receiver room. So based on sheer opportunity,

877
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, getting a starting role, yeah, I think

878
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: Quitty pay is one hundred percent going to be that

879
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: guy to Nate Tyson's point with that article that just

880
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: came out a DIO two. So you stole the words

881
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: right out of my mouth. Lara, It's a good call. Absolutely.

882
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the mail bag. Let's play

883
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: the jingle. Here's the mail it never fills and mixed

884
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: me want tail? All right. Our mail bag question this

885
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: week comes from g I Joe at Combat Joe ten

886
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: ten on Twitter. He dm me this one last week, which, again,

887
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this and you have a question

888
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: about the Colts, you can always tweet it or DM

889
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: it at us at JJ Stankobitz at Lara Overton at

890
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: Mayte Colts on Twitter. Question is Matt Ryan is four

891
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: and oh against the Jaguars? Is this the year we

892
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: finally snap the losing streak in Duval County? And this

893
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: one I wanted to talk about this more because last

894
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: week we had our mail bag question was what would

895
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: constitute a successful season for the Colts obviously beyond winning

896
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and Casey's answer was winning in Jacksonville.

897
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: So I love, I love that we can talk a

898
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: little bit about this that Matt Ryan. He hasn't lost

899
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars in Duval County. Colts haven't beat the

900
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: Jaguars in Duval County since Matt Ryan was like twenty eight.

901
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: You know, That's kind of how it feels at this point.

902
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: So what do we think is, let's take our claim

903
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: right now on June twenty first, Colts don't go to

904
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: Colts don't go to Jacksonville for another three months. But

905
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: do the Colts win in Jacksonville this year? Yes? Or no?

906
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Yeah, I mean, if they want to accomplish

907
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: all the things that they have openly talked about goal wise,

908
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: this has to be the year. And I love the

909
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: fact that there is collectively a sense of urgency amongst

910
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: the team or within the team, because we had guys

911
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: in here all off season long during the mini camp.

912
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, but we would close out the interview

913
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: and we would always ask him some sort of question regarding, Hey,

914
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: have you looked at this schedule? What do you think

915
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: of the frontloaded nature of the schedule? Playing five AFC

916
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: South games in the first seven, winning a division for

917
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: the first time since twenty fourteen, And everybody would say

918
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: the season has already begun, like we're not waiting mindset

919
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: wise to get there once training camp starts. So I

920
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: think it's healthy to actually talk about those things and

921
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: to be, you know, have those things out in the open,

922
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: because it just means you're prioritizing them, it's being talked about,

923
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: and it's again it's that sense of urgency that I

924
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: think everybody has right now. So if you want to

925
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: win the division, you got to take care of business

926
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: at Houston at Jacksonville because it's a gauntlet. You know,

927
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: those two games against Tennessee are going to be massive,

928
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: just as they were last year. You're playing the AFC West,

929
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be really hard to come by, you know,

930
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: gaining distance if you will in the division after the

931
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: first half, because you only play one division game in

932
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: the last ten games of the season, and that's not

933
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: till Week eighteen when the Houston Texans come calling again

934
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium. So I think it's actually healthy

935
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: and a good thing to talk about those things now.

936
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: And that's why I think they break two different streaks

937
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: in the first two games of the season on the

938
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: road at Houston. You win a week one game for

939
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, and then week

940
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: two at Jacksonville, you win at Jacksonville for the first

941
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: time since twenty fourteen, and you erase a lot of

942
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: bad memories that six nothing game in twenty eighteen, obviously

943
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: last year, missing down the playoffs, so sort of put

944
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: two bad streaks to bed right away. And then all

945
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're two and o, and you're two

946
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: and o inside the division as well. Where am I

947
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: completely overthinking it? If I'm like, you get Jacksonville and

948
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: week two they have a new coaching staff in place,

949
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: it's better to get that game out of the way

950
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: early anyway from the cults perspective, but also they might

951
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: still be trying to feel out who they are as

952
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: a team. I agree identity is I totally agree. Early

953
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: in the season, Yeah, it's certainly not one to overlook.

954
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be harder to win in

955
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville in twenty twenty two, even than what you faced

956
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, because you have Trevor Lawrence. In

957
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: that same article that we reference Quittypay being a breakout

958
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: guy this year, Nate Ties reference Trevor Lawrence being the

959
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: breakout quarterback this year, and he now has Doug Peterson,

960
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: who obviously has strong connections to Frank Reich. Both of

961
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: those guys worked so closely together in Philadelphia. He's a

962
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be a really good fit for

963
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: a young developing quarterback like Trevor Lawrence. They are a

964
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: team that has a lot of new pieces. But yes,

965
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned it's early in the season. It's gonna be

966
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: Week two. They're still gonna be figuring things out. But

967
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: the Colts might still be figuring some things out too,

968
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: I mean, not in much a dissimilar position with a

969
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: number of the new pieces that they have as well.

970
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a tougher game to win this year

971
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: than it was even late in the season last year.

972
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: But I think you're better suited going into this one

973
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: than you were at this point to close out twenty

974
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty one season that you had when you played in

975
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at the end of last year, when you played

976
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: there in January, which kind of seems like a whole

977
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: lifetime ago. When I think about, like, whenever that game was,

978
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about it and I was like, Oh,

979
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: how long ago was that? It kind of feels like

980
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: a full year ago, but it's really only been just

981
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: about six months. But I do think it's going to

982
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: be tarder. I think Jacksonville is going to be a

983
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: better team because of the coaching staff they have and

984
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: the young players who they have who are stepping up.

985
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Trevor Lawrence looked really strong in that game

986
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: which the Colts faced him. Had had look at the

987
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: difference in Trevor Lawrence from the first time you saw

988
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: him last year to the second time you saw him

989
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty one season, and that is only

990
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: going to continue to accelerate under the guidance of a

991
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning head coach like Doug Peterson. Well and

992
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: even you know, for all the discourse about the Jaguars

993
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: what they did in free agency and did they overspend,

994
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: They're a better roster. You know, Christian Kirk is a

995
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 1: better wide receiver than they had on their team last year.

996
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: Zay Jones is a good wide receiver who they brought in.

997
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram a good tight end they brought in. They

998
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: have They have good players on their team. They have talent.

999
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: I agree with you, though, j J. Get get it

1000
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: out of the way early. You know, let's let's post

1001
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: it at the beginning of the season. Give you some

1002
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: motivation and also kind of allows you to kind of

1003
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: circle it on the on the schedule inside the locker room,

1004
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, if they do those kinds of things still,

1005
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: but get it out of the way early and get

1006
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: that bad taste out of Jacksonville, you know, in terms

1007
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: of missing out in the playoffs last year. Have some

1008
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: motivation and have something to kind of strive for at

1009
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. I like the fact that

1010
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: it's week two. Hey. By the way, speaking of early

1011
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: season games, the Colts just announced on Tuesday morning that

1012
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: the home opener Week three against Kansas City is a sellout,

1013
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: as is the Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers

1014
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: on November twenty eighth. The old excuse me, the only

1015
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: way to get tickets to those games. You can buy

1016
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: groups of obstructed view or standing room only seats. You

1017
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: can buy season tickets as well. Those are how you're

1018
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: going to get in the door to either of those games.

1019
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: Because man, how about that it's great sellouts Already mid

1020
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: June we got sellouts. I love it, love the excitement

1021
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: around this team. But the thing I'm excited for right now, mate,

1022
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: the random thought of the week play the jangle. All right, guys,

1023
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 1: Random Thought of the Week. It's pretty short and simple

1024
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: this week. I know we're kind of up against it

1025
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: time wise. Lara and j J. Lara. I'll start with you, Lara.

1026
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: If you combine lemonade a nice tea right in the

1027
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: golf circle lemonade a nice tea that makes an Arnold Palmer,

1028
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: what drink combination would you make, Lara? That would be

1029
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: known as the Lara. I love this. This is probably

1030
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: the question on the rundown that I spent the most.

1031
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: I always spend them sometimes, I'm not going to give you,

1032
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: guys it heads up on the randomness of the rim.

1033
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you did because I really spent

1034
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: some time and this is something I haven't made yet

1035
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: this summer, but now you know, it's Summer Solstice, first

1036
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: official day of summer, so it is time to do

1037
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 1: the spicy margarita. I am a sucker for any sort

1038
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: of like a spicy cocktail. There is a drink called

1039
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: the Fire and Ice at Delicia in Broad Ripple, and

1040
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: it is one of the best drinks ever, so I

1041
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: like to This is a wonderful little summer cocktail. I

1042
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: will infuse tequila with fresh chopped haalepenos. Make sure you

1043
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: remove the seeds though, because you don't want the seeds

1044
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: in there. I'll put it in a mason jar and

1045
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: let it kind of marinade overnight. Let it infuse if

1046
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: you will. Then you do the spicy the haalepeno infused tequila.

1047
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: Slice up a couple of fresh halapenos as well. You

1048
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: do just a splash of some simple syrup, and you

1049
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: want to squeeze a lot, I like a lot of

1050
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: fresh limes in there, and then you top the whole

1051
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: thing off with either like a lime Lacroix or a

1052
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: Topo Chico. You rim your glass with taheen. And that

1053
00:53:55,239 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: is my favorite Lara Overton summer cocktail. That's what that's

1054
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: what you go with and very low calorie. There's no

1055
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: hangover to it because there's you know, not a lot

1056
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: of garbage, editing, not a lot of sugar. It's really

1057
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: really good. I think I think I just got drunk

1058
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: listening to that. That's awesome. So you didn't have anything

1059
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: like that down in Key West, No, nothing that complex,

1060
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: you know me, I don't want to think, just give

1061
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: me the drink and let's go. I appreciate that Lara,

1062
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: Lara gave you guys a drink you could actually drink

1063
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: and actually enjoy. I would like if someone's naming a

1064
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: drink after me, it's probably stereotypical Chicago garbage. So it's

1065
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: probably like jardin Ea infused Lord poured over an old

1066
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: style like, yeah, exactly, that sounds awful. Yeah, like it's

1067
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: probably some garbage, like are we making cup snakes out

1068
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: of that JJ? And the bleachers there? Okay, Yeah, that

1069
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: sounds like something I throw up in the bottom of

1070
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: the eighth JJ. Well, you know, maybe the bottom of

1071
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: the second depending on how many you have while your

1072
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: tailor right now, it's it's probably some some dumb garbage

1073
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: like that early in the pandemic. Um, you know when

1074
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: when everyone's right, yeah, I you know, we're all in

1075
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: weird moods, We're all in weird places. And I decided

1076
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: I was going to try making a Malert mule. And

1077
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone listening to this podcast has

1078
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: had malert. If you haven't, don't, uh. It tastes like um,

1079
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: I would say pro Paine infused pine needles Chicago thing

1080
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: that started as a bit and then it kind of

1081
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: grew a little too big. Anyways, So I I poured

1082
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: instead of vodka into Moscow mule, I poured malort with

1083
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: some lime juice and some ginger beer and I drank

1084
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: it and it tasted terrible, sounds terrible, you know what.

1085
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: The pandemic was terrible, and it was like, Wow, this

1086
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: all sucks. You have My drink suck too. So my

1087
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: drink probably already has a name. I'm just not privy

1088
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,479
Speaker 1: to it. So as I describe this, you're probably gonna

1089
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: say that's a you know whatever. But you take you

1090
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: take whiskey, you take amaretto, and you take a coke

1091
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: and you pour that into a whiskey glass. You fill

1092
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: it up with ice all the way to the brim,

1093
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: and it tastes just like a doctor Pepper. So that's

1094
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: my go to drink if I if I'm not going

1095
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: to drink a beer. My friends do indeed call that

1096
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: the mate whiskey, amaretto and a coke in a whiskey glass,

1097
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: and I swear it tastes just like doctor Pepper. You've

1098
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: heard of a flaming doctor Pepper, Like I said, it

1099
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: probably already has a different This is different a flaming

1100
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: Doctor Pepper. You light the drink on fire and then

1101
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: you drink in it, it tastes like a Doctor Pepper. Yeah,

1102
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm skipping out the flammable phase. So this

1103
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: got me thinking about two of my favorite Simpsons bits,

1104
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: um because I'm a big Simpsons guy. And obviously the

1105
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: Flaming Homer classic. Yeah, I've seen that episode. That's an early,

1106
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: early good real just you know, one one off joke

1107
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: where Homer goes into the Quickie Martin. He goes, you

1108
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: got any of that beer that's got skittles floating around

1109

Speaker 1: in it? You know, skittlebrow. There are so many different
