1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Football is about the Jimmies and Joes and exes and

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: oh's check New York plenty. Ain't thank you, Bruce. It's

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: time to get out the chopboard and diagram some plays.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: Here's what all starts right, Here's why jam money, Chris.

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: This is Inside Football with former Colts and NFL coach

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Rick Venturi. For the third time in four years, the

7
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Colts face a winning your in playoffs scenario in the

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: regular season finale. If the Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday, they'll make the postseason for the third time

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: under Frank Reich as a wild card team, but they'll

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: have to do it in a place where they haven't

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: won since twenty fourteen. Beating the Jacksonville Jaguars on the

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: road will not be a layup for the Colts. Here

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: in week number eighteen, Hi everybody, and welcome to Inside

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: Football with Rick Venturry. I'm Matt Taylor, but the man

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: you came for is Rick, who has twenty seven years

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: of coaching experience in the NFL. Rick. The loss for

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: the Colts to the Raiders last Sunday, that was a

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: gut wrencher. The Colts blew a big chance, and luckily

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: it's not fatal, but it was definitely disappointing considering it

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: was the regular season home finale for the Colts and

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: a chance to probably clench the fifth seed in the

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: AFC playoffs. Yeah, it was gut wrenching in that sense.

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, my coaching background immediately, not necessarily on Monday,

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: but by now totally focuses on Jacksonville. And the thing

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: is is when we remember in that early part of

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: the season, after one and four, kind I kind of

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: call that next phase that climbed to five, and when

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: we got even at five and five, I said, you know,

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: our goal is to win ten, and that's still we

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: win ten, we're in. That's that's the key issue. So

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, the good news on that is that it

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: wasn't a fatal loss. I think we got to the ten,

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: probably not like we expected to get to the ten,

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: but we got to the ten because we'd be two

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: top teams and then slipped up against the Raiders. The

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: biggest thing could get out of the game to me is,

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, what are the issues that could play gus

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: going forward? Matt more than anything else, rather than just

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, wind it down okay, And I think this

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: proved one thing to this team is that, you know, basically,

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: they've got to come with their A game no matter what.

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: Now that's obvious now because everything including Sunday is one

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: and done the rest of the way. But you can't

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: beat teams, particularly competitive teams like the Raiders who were

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: on the fringe of the playoffs, if you don't have

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: your A game. I mean, you know, Frank said it best.

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: They were better prepared tactically and emotionally. They outplayed us,

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and particularly they jumped on us early, which is uncharacteristic.

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: We've been playing great first quarters, but it just didn't

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: work out. So, you know, I think that is to

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: be learned from. You know, there just can be no

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: substitute for your A game, you know, going forward, and

54
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: really not just going forward now, but for ever and ever.

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: I think this is one you really learned from. And

56
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: then I think there are some some tactical things to

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: be learned. The the you know, the fact that our

58
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: special teams gave up tons of yardage is that doesn't

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't like it at the time, but

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: that doesn't bother me because that's that's an anomaly that's

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: a one time thing. I guarantee you that Bubba will

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: be on their butt and that will not happen again.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: And normally you can judge a team's emotional level by

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: how the special teams cover. And you know, that was

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of an indication to me that we're not quite right.

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: But that's not a lingering issue to me. I mean,

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: that's a strength. Here's the lingering issues that I think

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: we have to be really careful and make sure that

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: we address. Number one. I don't think we can sit there,

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: and I think we've overcorrected a bit. Matt from the

71
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Tampa game. I think we got so much criticism and

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: not giving it to Jonathan, and there is a dilemma

73
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: there is. There's a coaching dilemma because you don't want

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: to get away from Jonathan. You want, at the end

75
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: of the day to him to carry it because he

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: is the ambient player on this team, there's no question,

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: but he is tremendous and so you do want to

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: get it to him. But I think you can overcorrect there.

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to have fifty fifty balance. I think

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: that would be wrong for this team. But you also

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: met and you hear me say it all the time.

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: You can't allow a team to line up in an

83
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: eight man box and shoot people, you know, just you know,

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the first intense. There's got to

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: be periods in time where you attack that outside, attack

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: those corners who are undressed out there. And you can't

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: because you're not going to go to the mountaintop on

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty eight yards passing. You just not.

89
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: No matter how good Jonathan is, that is not going

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: to happen when you get to the highest levels because

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: you're going to have to score points. I just broke

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: down Kansas City and Cincinnati this morning. That looked like

93
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the AFL nineteen sixty five. I mean, it's just the

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: offense is going back and forth. And that's the reason

95
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: I'm making this statement. I'm not being critical. I'm just

96
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: saying we got to address that. And then again, I

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: always say this, and I guess it's negative, it's but

98
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: there's positives. Is we always have to keep Carson mechanically

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: right in on the reservation. He's a kid that has

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: grown up his whole life being the best athlete on

101
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: the playground, and he does a lot of things just

102
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: on his athletic ability. We saw it in the Arizona game.

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: He makes a game winning play. His overall numbers have

104
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: been very, very good, but there have been those times

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: where the mechanics get away from him. You see erratic throws.

106
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Even in the Arizona game, he brought it back in

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but for two quarters he was erratic.

108
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: And when he's erratic, it's usually sales high. And that's

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: because he's not set correctly, not ready to throw, you know,

110
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: when it's on time. And then some of those judgmental

111
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: errors could cost you. I hate those left handed throws.

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I just every time I see one of those, I

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: see disaster hit striking us in the face. And yet,

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that has played well overall.

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: He can win games for us. It's just a matter

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: of let's let's know when to win it and when

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 1: not to win it. And then and then, I would

118
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: think this has been a season long problem for us.

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: The third thing, and I think I know what the

120
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: big reason for it is, is that our defense has

121
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: not had the ability to close out games when they

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: need to close out games. And it's you know, obviously,

123
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: the double digit leads that have gotten up but our

124
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: fourth quarter statistics are what they are. We can you know,

125
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: we can swipe it under the rug, but we've given

126
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: up one hundred and forty four points in the fourth quarter,

127
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: nine nine point zero per. That's number thirty and two

128
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: games specifically, you know, in this last month is Tampa

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: the game is tied, and Sunday the game is tied

130
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: and both teams go the link to the field to

131
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: beat us, and so you know you have to fix.

132
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: So it's kind of those three things to me as

133
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: I came out of that game really looking at and

134
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: then you know, I think this is a wake up

135
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: call for our stars. You know, you know, basically we've

136
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: had guys play at a high level for so long.

137
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: But in the end Sunday, car and Renfro, I always

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: say that last big play was kind of a micro

139
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: chasm of the day, is that car and Renfro made

140
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: big plays and Kenny Moore and Darius Leonard did not.

141
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: And it really, you know a lot of times in

142
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, it just comes down to that last four

143
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: minutes and who makes the plays there. So I'm not

144
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: at all down about it, you know, I you know,

145
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it going in we knew that with

146
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: car and with Greg Olson running the offense, and with

147
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: some mage rushers, you know, and Jacobs, and I knew.

148
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: I said, Renfro's the best possession receiver in the league.

149
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: I said that about one hundred times last week. I mean,

150
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: so we knew you and I knew that this was

151
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: a danger spot on the season, and it got away

152
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: from us. But like I said, my goal was to

153
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: win ten and get in and we take care of

154
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: business Sunday, we win tanning get in. Well, when you

155
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: go back and look at that game from an offensive standpoint,

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the good things that stood out, and you talked about

157
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: it already, but the Colts ability to dominate the end

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: of the half and the beginning of the second half, right,

159
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: they scored fourteen points between Raider possessions at the end

160
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: of the second quarter in the beginning of the third quarter.

161
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, despite the Raiders selling out to slow him down,

162
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: still goes over one hundred yards for the ninth time

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: this season, broke the Colts single season rushing record. Michael

164
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: Pittman goes over a thousand yards receiving for the season,

165
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: but the Colts again had a hard time being efficient

166
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: in the passing game, they only throw for one hundred

167
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: and forty eight yards. And the Colts, no, I mean,

168
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: they've got to be more consistent. They've got to be

169
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: more efficient in the passing game. If teams are going

170
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: to load up the box to stop Jonathan Taylor in

171
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I mean, if you're only going to throw

172
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: at twenty five twenty six times per game, Rick, you

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: have to complete, you know, somewhere around eighteen nineteen twenty

174
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: passes for a couple of touchdowns in order for that

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: formula to work. No, that's exactly right, Matt. You could

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: you can be more right. I mean, you know, basically,

177
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: there's three phases of the game that I always look

178
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: at and and and I think they determine the victory.

179
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: The start of the game is very important because it's

180
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: established as kind of momentum tone. The middle eight as

181
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: people call it, we call it, I call it the

182
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: roundabout in deferenced Hamilton County street system and a roundabout

183
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: around the half. And then there's the finish. And in

184
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: this one, we won one third of them and dominated

185
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: the second and third quarterback Unfortunately, they won the first

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: and the third phase and really scored twenty points into quarters.

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: But you're exactly right, and I referenced that before. I

188
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: just you don't balance. To me, is not fifty percent running,

189
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: fifty percent passing. But what it is is the production

190
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: has to be fifty percent because teams, I said it

191
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: all year as good as Jonathan is. I mean that

192
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: was a hundred had hundred plus hard. I mean you

193
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: talk about hard yards. I mean we saw in that

194
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter drive. I mean he was just spinning, run driving.

195
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean that was hard earned. But the one hundred

196
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: and forty eight is what kills you, and it's you know,

197
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the numbers, but you've got to push

198
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: the ball down field. You've got to get as you

199
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: as you alluded to, you have to get plays out

200
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: of that because if you don't, then you let a

201
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: team do something that most NFL teams can't get by with,

202
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and that's undressed their corners, you know, the whole game.

203
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: I would I would only add one thing to a

204
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: kind of the must. We have really struggled lately with

205
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: kicking up blitzes. And I don't know if it's the

206
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: fluidness of our offensive line, if it's Carson not recognizing it,

207
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: but we have really had some blitzes. A lot of

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: blitzes come free. Then hasn't always necessarily killed us, but

209
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: it hasn't in some situations. And you know, a team

210
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: like Jacksonville got absolutely nothing to lose, they could bring

211
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: it every down. Plus the teams you're going to play

212
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs are going to see that and come

213
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: after you. So I think that has to be fixed.

214
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: But you know, I would I would say the big

215
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: thing is, you know, if there's twenty first downs, let's

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: say there's twenty first downs in the game, Okay, on

217
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the way they're playing us right now, twenty of them

218
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: are going to be eight man fronts with either man

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: free or cover three on the outside. So to me,

220
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: it isn't it isn't throw ten and run ten. It

221
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: maybe run it maybe past six times in run in,

222
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: run fourteen times if you follow what I'm saying. Because

223
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: what happens to Carson and I'm not going to make

224
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: excuses for him, but all of a sudden, you come

225
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: up third down and we had another really bad day

226
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: on third down. But see on third down is when

227
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: you get the blitzes, When our receivers get tight man

228
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: coverage that they don't get on first and second down.

229
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: So you know, by not exploiting that first down, you

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: back yourself into a corner and you get behind the Chaine,

231
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: you get you know, I always call it, you get

232
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: in disadvantag Those are disadvantage situations and we just got

233
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: to get our way out of it. So I think

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: it's the run pass ballant, not in numbers, but introduction,

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, on defense against the Raiders, the Colts

236
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: notched two more takeaways. They leave the NFL with thirty

237
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: three takeaways on defense and they now have at least

238
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: two takeaways in twelve games on the season. A couple

239
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: of interceptions off of Derek Carr. They held the Raiders

240
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: in check to only eighty five yards rushing. They only

241
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: give up twenty three for the game, and the front

242
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: four pass rush showed up at times, particularly with Quitty

243
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: pay He had a nice couple of moves to get

244
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. But again when it mattered most the

245
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: Colts defense couldn't get a stop on the final drive.

246
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: And when you look at the game and totality, Rick,

247
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little un even. And Frank Ryck

248
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: talked about then on Colts Roundtable Live, like it was

249
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: a good performance by the defense, but if you ask

250
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: everybody on defense, it wasn't a good performance because they

251
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: didn't do enough to win the game that day when

252
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: the offense only scores twenty points. So you like the

253
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: fact that the Colts defense is giving up only fourteen

254
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: points per game in the last month, but they gave

255
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: up big plays when it mattered most to Derek Carr

256
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: and company, Yeah, no question about it. And as a

257
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of the honest with you, you take it personal.

258
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than not being able to finish a

259
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: game when it's either tied or you've got to lead

260
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: there it's just it just eats you away. I mean

261
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: I took that personal for forty one year, so I

262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: know what that means. Because at the end of the day,

263
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter how many points they got or

264
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: you got it. Did you get more points than you

265
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: in the name If you don't, then everybody's not doing

266
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: their job. Now, there are some things that are really

267
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: really good. I thought our defense, though it was on

268
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: its heels in the first drive. You know, they pretty

269
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: much shredded us, really did anything they wanted to do.

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: But we really settled in and you know, the second

271
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: and third quarter we really owned it, you know, in

272
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: that sense, you know, two turnovers. Obviously, Leonard is the magnet.

273
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: There's no one like him. But again, I just think

274
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: Rogers is really climbing. I think that he and I

275
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: said this, I said this in training camp, and it's

276
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: coming to fruition. He is the best on the ball

277
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: corner we have. I'm not saying necessarily the best cover guy,

278
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: but he is the best when that ball is in

279
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the air. You want him competing with that other guy

280
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: because he goes back and really plays the hell out

281
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: of it. You can see the ball skills. I think

282
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: the fact that he and yah Sin are playing pretty

283
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: solid overall is really important. I think, you know, I

284
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: think those two kids are playing pretty dog on good,

285
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: much more sticky. You know, we held them to eighty

286
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: five yards rushing. Now, this is what I like about

287
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: a little bit better rushing. I don't think it's good

288
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: enough in the fourth quarter. But here's what I did

289
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: like about it. I thought that Quitti pay sacked this

290
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: week was his first true win. The one on one

291
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: sack the quarterback not fall off late because of coverage,

292
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: not because the scheme got you there. He's gotten a

293
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of easy things happened to him, really his numbers.

294
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: But Sunday he had a terriffic a hump move, if

295
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: you remember, Reggie White made that famous and I didn't

296
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: notice it at the time, but as I studied the tape,

297
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he came up and what we call hump

298
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: the tackle he took him, took his inside right arm

299
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: and just humped him out of the way and hit

300
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So that was really encouraging. The other thing

301
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: that I liked, and I've suggested this for a long time,

302
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: is just get a unit on third down that you

303
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: don't need all that rotation. Okay, you don't need all

304
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: the rotation, particularly in gut wrenching time. And so the

305
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: best rush people we put out there is two A

306
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: at one edge and Pay on the other edge and

307
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: then Buckner and Dale inside. That is our best rush package,

308
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: and that is the rush package that we're playing more

309
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: and more. And I like that because I think the

310
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: more those guys play together, the more you can run stunts,

311
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: the better you're gonna be. We don't have to be

312
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: an inner mural team in that sense, we really don't. Now,

313
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I still think we have to be better in the

314
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for some reason, you know, in that fourth

315
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: quarter when we really need to turn it loose, we

316
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get at the quarterback, you know,

317
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: in that sense. And then of course the elephant in

318
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: the room, and I'm not going to continue to belabor it.

319
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: We've already talked about it is the you know, is

320
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: again the fourth quarter stuff. So you know, this was

321
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: a game, you know, you know, Leonard had the big

322
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: he had two big whiffs, even though he had to turnover.

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: He had the whiff on Richard on that key third

324
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: down in that third quarter, which really hurt us because

325
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: it got them at there was a third and three,

326
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: and then he whiffed on car on the you know,

327
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: so here's your best player. You want to get that back.

328
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: And Kenny had a forgettable day. But I'm telling you,

329
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: if you put him one on one now, most of

330
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: the time he can hang in there. But Renfro is

331
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: another cat. And that's something that bothers me a little

332
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: bit of our defense. We never seem to have that

333
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: plan for that key guy. But you know, overall, the

334
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: biggest things that we're doing on defense, the most important

335
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: thing we're doing is we're keeping the point total down.

336
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: We're number eleven in the league, and that's damn good.

337
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: And then if you put next to that the thirty

338
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: one turnovers, that's a pretty good formula for success. Keep

339
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: the point total down and turn it over that Even

340
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: though a lot of things are gray and aren't beautiful,

341
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: those two things are pretty good. The biggest thing to

342
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: fix again is that fourth quarter. And it's really not

343
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: so much coverage anymore as it is pass rush and

344
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback, you know. And because our sack

345
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: total is twenty third, it's it's indicative kind of goes

346
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: hand in hand with that fourth quarter. You're twenty third

347
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: in your thirtieth, you know, in that sense. I think

348
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: the other thing is we got to do a much

349
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: better job on tight ends. We're thirty second. And cover

350
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: and tight ends, so you know, I think those are

351
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: three things are the things that you really have to

352
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: focus on, not just in Jacksonville, but as we encounter

353
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: these elite teams going forward. All right, let's talk about

354
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They're up next. Let's get into them on

355
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: the big picture. Jacksonville Week eighteen, they fired their head coach,

356
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. We all know that he's been gone since

357
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: the middle of December with a myriad of off the

358
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: field problems. Offensive coordinator, to put it lightly, Daryl Bevil

359
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: is now the interim coach, just as he was last year,

360
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: ironically in Detroit after Matt Patricia got fired. They're two

361
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: and fourteen. A loss for them on Sunday Rick to

362
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: the Colts assures them of the number one overall pick

363
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: in the draft for the second straight year. They lost

364
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: to the Colts twenty three to seventeen at Lucas Oil

365
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Stadium back in mid November. That started an eight game

366
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: losing streak that they're currently on. They were blasted by

367
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots last Sunday, fifty to ten, that time for

368
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: the third largest defeat in franchise history. The offense has

369
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: lost its best running back and James Robinson he's out

370
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: with an achilles injury. Rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence he leads

371
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: the NFL and picks. He's only got one touchdown pass

372
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: in the last four games. He's definitely had a rocky season.

373
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: The defense is giving up almost twenty eight points game.

374
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: Rick anything else I missed on the Jaguars on the

375
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: big picture. No, that's exactly right. Now. I'm going to

376
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: approach this one with you as if I were coaching

377
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: this team, okay, because the analyst in me, the analyst

378
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: in all of us, And I worry about this because

379
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: this is the atmosphere that the players are in. This

380
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: week just kind of had the reverse of what they

381
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: were in in the New England game when everybody was

382
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: pumping them up. Now they're saying, well, are you going

383
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: to be the fifth, sixth or seventh seed? They're not

384
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: even saying Jacksonville. And I worry about that. And here's

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: here's some reasons that I worry because as an analyst,

386
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing when you peel back statistically that tells

387
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: you that there's a path for victory for the Jaguars.

388
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: But I'm going to peel the onion and show you

389
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: what I think the concerns are. First of all, any

390
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: NFL team, and I've been I've been there, when you

391
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: come off a humiliating performance, there is a pride factor

392
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: there and they're going to try to come back and

393
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: play really heart. Joe Writes made a good he made

394
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: a good point the other day and I believe this too.

395
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: Is Sometimes a team that has had that bad record

396
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: and they know they got one left, it's almost like, hey,

397
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: let's let it go. It's gonna be over now, let's

398
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: just go out for four quarters in play. And sometimes

399
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: that loose and jump it makes it a little scary. Now.

400
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how much to put on JAG's history,

401
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: but it hasn't been good. We know that for some

402
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: reason or another. I don't you know. I don't like

403
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: to say that last year's game has anything to do

404
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: with this year's game. Now. The biggest place that I

405
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: would put the focal point on, I don't know that

406
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: I would show that game last week other than if

407
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: you want to show certain things tactically and cut them

408
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: out of the tape. I would not have my players

409
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: ever watch that from beginning to end. But what I

410
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: would put all my focus on is Week ten Colts Jaguars.

411
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: That's why I want to put all my focus on

412
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: because if you go back, if you go back and

413
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: I studied that game last Friday, Okay, you know that

414
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: game is twenty three to seventeen. And if Dao doesn't

415
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: knock that ball out on our own forty, they they

416
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: have enough time to really go down and win it.

417
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: So don't think of them as losing fifty to thirteen.

418
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Think of that game going down to the wire. I

419
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: think it's really effective. And why did they do that well?

420
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: First of all, they played a very physical game. We

421
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: didn't put them away early. I thought we were going to,

422
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: but Agnew had that big run which changed kind of

423
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the complexion. Looks like we were going to run him

424
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: out of the gym, but we left him off the hook,

425
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: and we allowed a bad team to what I call

426
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: hang on the vine. Even when I coached bad teams,

427
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: I used to tell my team just hang on the

428
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: vine early, hang on the vine early, because I know

429
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: that what happens is you get a couple of stops,

430
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: you start gaining confidence, you build confidence within the game.

431
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: And I saw that in that game. And basically they

432
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: held our offense if you really look at it, for

433
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters really to only like three points.

434
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they they they they played very well. I

435
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: think it was probably it may have been the best

436
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: worst performance by our offensive line this year. They just

437
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: got going and they just kind of out physical to

438
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: us in there. You know, they basically held us to

439
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: two field goals in three and a half quarters. After

440
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: that really good start, they did a really good job.

441
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: They outrushed us, which is, you know, that's hard to believe,

442
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: but they did. I mean they they outrushed us like

443
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven, one hundred and twenty seven,

444
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: and they got a lot of yards on the edge,

445
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: you know. And what they'll do and we'll get into that,

446
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: but what they'll do is, you know, they'll get those

447
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now, it was Agnew who burned us for

448
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: that what was at seventy yard run? Sixty seven yard

449
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: run when we were running away with it and all

450
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden change, Well they're using Tavon Austin, my

451
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: old boy from the Rams. They're using him to do

452
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: that now, or Laviska Chenault. Though those guys will come

453
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: in there because of their running backs. Now, Ogan Bawali,

454
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: you know in the armstead our bangers. I mean, they're

455
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: they're tackle to tackle guys. They're gonna you know, if

456
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: you're soft inside, they're gonna push it. They don't have

457
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: the ability that Robinson. Robinson did a good job of

458
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: against us two years in a row, bouncing the edge.

459
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: So what Jacksonville tries to compensate with is they'll put

460
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: those receivers back in there and all of a sudden

461
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: speed up the game. And the two areas that really

462
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: hurt us on defense that we have to be better

463
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: on is those edge runs, particularly by the wide receivers.

464
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: And then I thought one of the worst things that

465
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: we did in the game is that we let the

466
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: quarterback who's really only attribute right now is his ability

467
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: to scramble. Right now, you know, he's lost half the time,

468
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: he's inaccurate, he stares it in. I mean, he doesn't

469
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: look like the number one pick in the draft at

470
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: this point. But what he was able to do was

471
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: he was able to make key first downs, keep the

472
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: ball moving, allow them to have a little bit of

473
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: all control with his legs. I mean, he had thirty

474
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: three yards and I think two of them were critical,

475
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: critical first downs. So you know, I mean that's the stuff.

476
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: That's the stuff that we looked at. And again at

477
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: the at the very end of the game, they're driving

478
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: down there with this you know, we got a six

479
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: point lead, and I know you and I had our

480
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: hearts in our hearts in our throat right there. And

481
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: then Daloe came up, Buckner got a good fallback tackle,

482
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: and Dale got the strips. So I mean, you know

483
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: when you when I look at statistics, I say, there's

484
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: no path to victory. But then when I look at

485
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: that game, I go, no, there is a pack to victory.

486
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: So let's make sure we understand that. Let's go in

487
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: with that in mind. Yeah, I mean they almost achieved

488
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: that path to victory, right, yea live and in person.

489
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's a good thing looking back, because

490
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, rather than focus on that New England game

491
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: where the quarterback just throws the ball to him every

492
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: other down and it just gets out of hand. Week ten,

493
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: look at Week ten, it's right there. And the Jaguars

494
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: two wins this season. I mean I don't want to

495
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: get two cliche on this, but there are two wins

496
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: on the season or against teams that have an eighteen

497
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: and fourteen record combined. Right. They beat the Bills who

498
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: are ten and six, and they beat the Dolphins who

499
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: are eight and eight, And those are two quality wins

500
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So it's not as if it can happen. Yeah,

501
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: you know, when you know the term on any given Sunday,

502
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: no doubt was basically written for the NFL, and we

503
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: got to understand that. And I just I want the

504
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: focus there. That's where my focus is going to be,

505
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: and that's where I want my team's focus to be.

506
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the blueprints. Let's talk about

507
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. On offense, the Jags only scoring fourteen points

508
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: per game. That's dead last in the NFL. They haven't

509
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: scored more than twenty one in a game since Week six.

510
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: They're not very special running it or throwing it. Their

511
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: bottom tier and most of the categories on offense they're

512
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: dead last, and turnover margin and turnovers on offense with

513
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: thirty two giveaways. Trevor Lawrence at quarterback this season ten

514
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. He leads the NFL with seventeen picks. He

515
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: has a passer rating of sixty nine point six this season.

516
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: That's the lowest passer rating among all thirty two qualified quarterbacks.

517
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: As I said, James Robinson is done for the season.

518
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: He is their young and bright tailback. Carlos Hyde and

519
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew who the Colts saw back in Week ten.

520
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Those guys are done for the season as well. With injuries.

521
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: Laquon Treadwell and Marvin Jones, Rick, those are the closest

522
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: things they have right now as weapons on the outside. No,

523
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, and the only the only scary thing

524
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: about the quarterback is his overall athleticism and his strong arm.

525
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, as they say, even a blind squirrel to

526
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: find an acorn if he has enough time, you know,

527
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: and if you know this is now, this is going

528
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: on the seventeenth game, and we know what his weaknesses are,

529
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: and I think we'll capitalize him. Being the turnover team

530
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: we are. I mean, my goodness, they're minus twenty two

531
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: in turnover ratio. That's that's unheard of. I mean. But

532
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: but at the same time, he's really good on the bootlegs,

533
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: which we've suffered with, and he can get out there

534
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: and throw a long ball. So there there are some

535
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: saving graces with him. Like I said, he kept a

536
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: lot of players alive running. I think if we can

537
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: confine him, which I'll get into the musk that's what

538
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: you want to do, and make him play NFL football,

539
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: he'll come to us. I think the receiver corps is

540
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: actually decent. Really, uh, you know, Marvin Jones, you know

541
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: he leaves that basically, you know he's got you know,

542
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of catches. Uh, you know, he's

543
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: got sixty six catches, and you know, he is the

544
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: go to guy. I always talk about the go to guy,

545
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: and I say that for a reason because when you

546
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: got to go to guy, let's make sure we have

547
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: a defense that in critical situations, not every down, but

548
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna be the guy on third down. He's

549
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy in there, you know, in the

550
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: red zone, and you you got to make sure he's

551
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: a legitimate guy. You know, what Treadwell has become for

552
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 1: them is kind of the big deep threat, even though

553
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: he's not tremendously fast, but he's a big bank board

554
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: type of guy. They'll isolate him on the week's side.

555
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: If you go one and one, they'll take their shots

556
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: with Treadwell. He seems to be the guy they have

557
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: the most confidence downfield on. And then they've got two

558
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: guys that are interesting, you know, Tavon Austin Will. They'll

559
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: try to do with Tavon and they have tried to

560
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: do what they did with Agnew and that is make

561
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: him the all purpose guy, catching run guy, run and

562
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: run guy. So you know, they'll be running the ball.

563
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: Of a sudden he's at halfback. You don't notice it.

564
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: They're running edge play with him like they did with Agne.

565
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's out the gate. Tavon can

566
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: absolutely fly. I mean he's not He's never achieved where

567
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: he was drafted. But one thing he can do is burn.

568
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: If you remember he had that big game against us

569
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: when he was at the Rams, there are several years

570
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: back turning kicks and things like that. And then Lavizca Chenal,

571
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, is an an Kuombolden type guy. He's kind

572
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: of the same thing. You know, he'll line up although

573
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: he's really a hybrid. He's kind of half a receiver,

574
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: half a tight end, half a running back. So you know,

575
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: those four guys are very very presentable. Really, you know,

576
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: they're very marginal at tight end. Uh, their offensive line

577
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: right now is totally fluid, you know, partially due to

578
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: to COVID h I've never I've never felt like I've

579
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: always felt like it was highly invested and very underwhelming,

580
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, and I'll get into that.

581
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know the reason that they

582
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: have decent sacked is really because the kid can run.

583
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean he has three hundred and thirty three yards,

584
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: which has probably been the best the highlight of his

585
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: of his seasons. So you know, from a mus standpoint,

586
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: and I'm going back to that first game, is that

587
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: we have to play better on the edge. I mean,

588
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: they beat us consistent on the edge to get that

589
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven yards. Obviously one of them

590
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: was sixty seven, but they did a pretty good job

591
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: all day. And that was a combination of their receivers

592
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: and their running game and their quarterbacks. So you know,

593
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I think it's really important to start with it. They

594
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: get nothing on that edge. If we can keep them

595
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: between the tackles, I believe we'll have our way with them.

596
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: But you know, their run per players a little bit

597
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: better than you expect, and don't let them shorten the game.

598
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: What they were able to do with us a little

599
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: bit in that first game is once they got going,

600
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: they made enough first downs to shorten the game, you know,

601
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: and we don't want that. We want our offense with

602
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: the ball all day. And remember they did out rushless

603
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: one seventy nine to one twenty seven, and so you know,

604
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: again I think number one is real discipline on the edge,

605
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: both on the running game, and that includes wide receiver speeds,

606
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers sneaking in the backfield, and then obviously the quarterback.

607
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: He'll run his own reads. He's got some NCAA in him,

608
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: and he'll run the boots. Number two. We gotta take

609
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback legs away very It's gonna be very difficult

610
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: for him to consistently win in the pocket. He's just

611
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: not there right now. Right now, he's indecisive, he is inaccurate.

612
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: He makes you know, obviously indecisive and bad decisions. And

613
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: the other thing that he does, Matt is he really

614
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: stares it in. And that's also one of the reasons

615
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: for all the turnovers, is he really stares it in.

616
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: But what he can do with the three hundred and

617
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: thirty three yards is he can get out of trouble.

618
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: And he has a big arm. So if he can

619
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: get out of trouble, if you're not hanging onto your coverage,

620
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: he can make a big play. Keep him in the pocket.

621
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: Mix the coverage looks. He'll stare it down and make

622
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: it turn make him turn it over. You've already said it.

623
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: Seventeen picks, He's ten touchdowns and seventeen picks. I mean

624
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: this team is a turnover machine. We're of a turn

625
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: machine on defense, so you know this should play into

626
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: us again. Number three is do have a plan for Jones?

627
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Jones is effective on over routes, third down,

628
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: red zone. You know, he's got again sixty six catches

629
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: and eleven three so he's the guy that you gotta

630
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: clamp on in the clutch on the third down on

631
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. And then Treadwell again is their deep

632
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: threat right now. He's the guy that they're pushing it

633
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: and you can see it. He's thirteen seven per catch,

634
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: so he's been when he has caught the ball. You know,

635
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: when he has caught the ball, it's been effective in

636
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: terms of yardage. Okay, all right, and then I'm gonna

637
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: put this in there because I still I have visions

638
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: of how that agnew play turned the game around. Take

639
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: away Austin. Okay, don't let Austin get going. Don't let

640
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: him get on our edge on a speed squeeb get

641
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: on him if they throw a quick screen to him.

642
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, they lack explosiveness at wide out. They lack

643
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: explosiveness now at running back. So what do they got

644
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: to do. They've got to get those highbridge and now

645
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: and primarily Austin to get explosive play. So you know

646
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Those are the threats, particularly those edge threats.

647
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: Don't let Austin get going. And then number five is

648
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: we got to attack this offensive line. We need to

649
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: get that lead and never relinquish it, never let up.

650
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: We got it early. We were right on top of all.

651
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: We're going to run him out of the gym. And

652
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: then and then that big run kind of changed it

653
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: mentally again because I don't think this team, as I said,

654
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: it's highly invested. I'm not sure who's going to play

655
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: because of COVID, but if Robinson plays, you know he

656
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: has been beaten with speed and counter moves. Little the

657
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: big guy from Stanford who we looked at in the draft,

658
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: he has trouble with speed on the right side. You

659
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: pointed it out last time. You know, Taylor has got

660
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but he's got lazy feet. You

661
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: can beat him with second effort. I think he's the

662
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: holding champion historically in the NFL. Neither one of their

663
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: garthday I think you said that last week. But you know,

664
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: neither one of their guards can handle Buckner. So again,

665
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: if you can and they and again they played with

666
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: three backups, but we don't know where they're going to

667
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: be because of COVID. But again, if you can get

668
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: this team in disadvantage and you keep that quarterback in

669
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: the pocket, you know you forced this team to turn

670
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it over. Like I said, this is a key stat number,

671
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: thirty two internal differentiations minus twenty two versus a team

672
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: that has forced teams to turn it over thirty one times.

673
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's we got to get him in disadvantage

674
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: and make them pay. That's Rick vent Erry. This is

675
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: Inside Football breaking down the Colts and the Jaguars. Let's

676
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 1: shift over to the Jags on defense. The unit there

677
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: gave up fifty points to the Patriots last Sunday. That's

678
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: the second most allowed and franchise Street. The Jaguars are

679
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: giving up twenty eight per game on the season, but

680
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: that numbers up to thirty one in the last month,

681
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: so even worse. They've allowed twenty two rushing touchdowns on

682
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: the season, and the Colts are gonna try and to

683
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: run it down the Jaguars front seven, they've allowed one

684
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven rushing yards per game in the

685
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: last four that's thirty first in the NFL in that span.

686
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: And this is the least opportunistic group in the NFL.

687
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: Only seven takeaways on the season, They only have one

688
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: takeaway on defense in their last five games. They don't

689
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback very well, only twenty six sacks

690
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: on the season and their thirty first. This is a

691
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: big one for me. Rick thirty first in the NFL

692
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: on time of possession on defense, which means they're on

693
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: the field a lot because they can't get stops on

694
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: third down. So not trying to disparage the Jaguars on defense,

695
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: but it's hard to deviate from that fact that it's

696
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: been a long year for the Jaguars on defense this season.

697
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: Oh it's really been a long year. And honestly, you know,

698
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: I've been in those situations and when you got a

699
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that turns it over as much as that guy,

700
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: it gets really tough. And last week it was it

701
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: was a it looked like a tennis match terms of

702
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: Patriot secondary guys picking off passes and running with them

703
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: and running with them down to the one yard line.

704
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: You know, I said this going into the first game,

705
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: and I know it's the coach in me. And people

706
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: will say, oh, that's the coach in you. But yeah,

707
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, I look at stats and again I'm gonna

708
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: say it, there's no possible way statistically they should play

709
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: with us. But when I look at their team and

710
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: when I look at Week ten, I feel a little

711
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: bit different picture. They have a little bit more talent

712
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: than those numbers show. And if you if you let

713
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: them hang on the vine, you know they're different. You know,

714
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, for instance, you know you've got you've got

715
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: a really one of the best players in the league

716
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen. Now he missed a couple of weeks,

717
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: but you know he was rusty, but he's back. He

718
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: gave us fits on the edge, he gave us, He

719
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: gave us left tackle, all kinds of fits. You know,

720
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: Jack Miles, Jack is one of the best players in

721
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: the league. Wilson along with him as a good linebacker,

722
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: the guy that really hurt us, if you remember, and

723
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: he was right at our strength. Now Nelson was banged

724
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: up on that ankle, but you know, you know, Robertson

725
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: Harris really gave us fits last week. And what they

726
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: did against us, and they have no reason not to

727
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: do it again. And I think if I were playing us,

728
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: it's the way I would play us, regardless of what

729
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: I had. Is they basically got into five man pressures

730
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: almost every down, you know, either double sink or under

731
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: bringing the sam or bringing a guy inside, and then

732
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: they just played hard press with it, I mean, and

733
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: so they kind of got in our face, you know,

734
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: and once they got going a little, looked like they

735
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: weren't going to be worth a darn. Once they got

736
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: going a little, they just got better and better. And

737
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure at the end of the day that

738
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: they may on that Sunday, and I don't think that

739
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: they can do it again. But on that Sunday, I'm

740
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: not sure. They didn't play us as well defensively as

741
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: anybody in the league. Now they have a NASCAR package,

742
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: and you know, and normally that's four guys. Well it's

743
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: more than four because they've had a lot of guys

744
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: in and out. But if you look at them individual

745
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: if you get behind an account, and we saw it

746
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: in week ten, you know, Alan has five and a half,

747
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: Smoot has five, Ward has to chase on and robertson Harris,

748
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: they and then Brian has two they they've got They've

749
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: got the potential too if they get ahead and account

750
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: to put four guys in that pass rush that are

751
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: pretty pretty dog gone good and particularly he's Smoot and Alan.

752
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: And then as I said Robertson, Harris just gave us

753
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: fits inside in that in that first game. He really did, so,

754
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean again, this is this is the

755
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: thing that you have to be alert for. Again, my

756
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: eyes tell me that they are capable of a better

757
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: game than their numbers, particularly if their offense just doesn't

758
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: put them in a jam every single down. Now Here

759
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: are the must okay, And I do think you you

760
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: alluded to it just on the intro here. We got

761
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: to take the life out of them with Taylor. I

762
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: mean nothing, nothing is more delope, moralizing than have that play,

763
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: have that run, just run down your throat. And I

764
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: think we have to pound them early and not be

765
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: afraid to work the edges, not be afraid to run

766
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: right at Alan, run right at Ward. You know, sometimes

767
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we give them too much credit.

768
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: Some of those rushers aren't really good, are really good

769
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: necessarily run players. If you get in some three wives.

770
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: They're totally predictable and they're less physical, so you can

771
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: pound them there. You know. Again, don't let them hang

772
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: on the vine like we did in week ten. You know,

773
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: just get them early, beat the heck out of them,

774
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: get Jonathan running down their throat, and get after them.

775
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: This time again, I'm gonna say number two and this

776
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: goes back to our original discussion in this podcast, is

777
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: we got to take advantage of the predictable eight man front.

778
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: We've got to get okay, their corners will be undressed

779
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: every first down and second in medium and pitt Pittman

780
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and Hilton must win on the outside, whether it's a

781
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: man and man or zone. Their linebackers are going to

782
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: flow like how and a play pass over the middle

783
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: is there as well. So again this is this is

784
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: one of those games that you know you got to

785
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: pound them, but you have to take your shots selectively

786
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: on first down, and not only you have to win

787
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: it to this game, you have to re establish that

788
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: if we're going to go anywhere, if we're gonna go

789
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: anywhere beyond Sunday, we've got to be able to out.

790
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: We got to be able to re establish that we

791
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: can win on the outside fringes of the field. Okay,

792
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: now we've got to be alert for a big blitz game.

793
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: They got nothing to lose. We've shown vulnerabilities. They rushed

794
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: us with five all day once they got going five

795
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: and six. So we have got to really be ready

796
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: for that, and not only just ready for Sunday. Again,

797
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: this is another issue. We have got to shore up

798
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: that blitz pickup. And you know, it's kind of a

799
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: team thing. It's not just on the offensive line, it's

800
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: on everybody. But we are we are showing people how

801
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: to beat us right now. We've got to stop that

802
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: because you know it's a copycat league. And again, if

803
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: they want to blitz us, we should invite it and

804
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: put the pressure on their perimeter. Again. The other thing

805
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: be ready for it's we got to be ready for

806
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: a big press game. Okay. Teams that play us soft

807
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: do us a favor. We don't have receivers, including Pittman,

808
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: that are really good versus press. They don't do a

809
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: lot of one on one just beating people. Most of

810
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: the time they get open versus off coverage off three,

811
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: or they get because Frank does a good job of

812
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: rubbing and picking on the stack and he creates access

813
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, we've got to be ready for that

814
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: hard press game, and if we can't win one on one,

815
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: then we've got to get into our bunch game, our

816
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: stack game, you know, our cross rubs, all those kinds

817
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: of things. Because again you can see what I'm anticipated.

818
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm anticipating five man rushing almost every down, hard press

819
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: and say, the hell with it. We got nothing to lose.

820
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: We're going to get in your face and try to

821
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: take it away, you know. And I think this but

822
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: probably the last must, and this probably really is a

823
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: team must, is we just got to establish the line

824
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and keep it. I mean, we got to

825
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: challenge them all over the field. We got to go

826
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: in there to win it. Not oh, we got to

827
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: get through this and get into playoff. No, no, no,

828
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: we got to go in there and win it and

829
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to win it. You know. And again,

830
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it is a little bit and I'm

831
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: not saying balance in numbers, I'm saying balance in production. Now,

832
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: there's a big difference right there between number of passing

833
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: plays and number of passing yards when you equate that

834
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: to the rushing game. As well for the Colts. Lastly, Rick,

835
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: I know again as we wrap up here, I mean,

836
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: you sit here and look at the big picture on

837
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 1: this game two and fourteen versus a team that needs

838
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: to win to clinch a playoff spot. I know, the

839
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars have lost eighth straight. They're gonna pick in the

840
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: top five of the draft for the eighth time in

841
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: the last eleven years. They're gonna finish in last place

842
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: in the AFC South for the eighth time in the

843
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: last fourteen years. I get all of that, but this

844
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: is still a place where the Colts have not one

845
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason since twenty fourteen, and they have two

846
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: really good wins on the season over the Bills and

847
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We sat all along. If the Colts get

848
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: to ten wins, that should be enough, and it will

849
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: be if they get the job done. But the Colts,

850
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: they've got to be laser focus to win this game.

851
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: If the Colts lose this game, Rick, it would be

852
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: one of the biggest tragedies the franchise has ever seen. Yeah,

853
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: absolutely right. It would be catastrophic in that sense. I

854
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: don't even want to think about it. And you know,

855
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: in the end, and you're right, this is it. You

856
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: know we've said all a long after that bad start,

857
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: if we could fight back to ten, you know we'll

858
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: do it. We'll be in and we will be and

859
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: it should be full laser. You use that term. I

860
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: use that term, full laser. Focus on the Jags, tune

861
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: out the media and local nois. You know we embraced

862
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: it versus New England week this week, turn it out.

863
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: Don't go out to eat, stay home and eat, got

864
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: the order out, carry out that kind of stuff. Don't

865
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: go out and get influenced like this. Focus on your

866
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: job and think about what we have to do better

867
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: from week ten. I want a lot of thought about

868
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: week ten, not last week. Remember, and this is important

869
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: on any given Sunday is an NFL reality. It's not

870
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: a joke. It's not a cliche. Nothing more dangerous than

871
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: a wounded dog with nothing to lose. Okay, go to

872
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and explode on them from play one and never

873
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: ever let up for sixty minutes. And don't go in

874
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: there and be surprised if you don't get into a battle. Yeah.

875
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: In the end, bring your a game, ferocious determination, and

876
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: you will be successful and we will move on and

877
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: once again in closing to quote Frank Wright, why not

878
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: there you go. That's good breakdown as always, good little

879
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: speech there for the Colts, says they embark on a

880
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: must win game for them. You gave me the other

881
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: you gave me the number the other day, Rick, how

882
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: many how many hours of film did you break down

883
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: here in the regular season? What was the number? Oh?

884
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: And I don't want to wear that on my sleeve

885
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: because you match me every you know, But that's preparation.

886
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: It's you know, I know how hard you work at it,

887
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to keep up with you. I

888
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: think I figured I think I figured about and I

889
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: didn't count the preseason because you know, I didn't count

890
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the preseason. But I think, I think, I think I'm

891
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: right about four hundred and fifty hours of tape. I mean,

892
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: is that crazy? But you know what not really is

893
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: that's a labor of love. I mean, that's you know,

894
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: that's something that I was brought up on. I grew

895
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: up on, and honestly, I probably you know, people say,

896
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: do you really have to do that? You don't. I

897
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: guess I want it, But I would feel like I

898
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: was cheating the public if I didn't do you just

899
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: it's just my way. You know, it's geeky, it's you know,

900
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's probably over technical. But you know,

901
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: I just don't know another way. I you know, you bring,

902
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: you bring the juice to the po and hopefully, you know,

903
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I bring a little instruction to the game. Yeah, well

904
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: you keep me, you definitely keep me instructed there. But no,

905
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you do the math, that equates to

906
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: about twenty six hours per week breaking down tape. And

907
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: then if you do that six days a week, that's

908
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: only about four hours a day. That's not crazy, not

909
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: in my opinion anyways. No, And you know what you know,

910
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: I I'm I have the work hours of a farmer.

911
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: I guess I developed during my coaching career. You know,

912
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't mind getting up at four now. I do

913
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: go to bed early. Don't get me wrong. My wife

914
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: saw my butt all the time, Miss Terry's saw my

915
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: But but you know, it is what it is. I

916
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: I usually spend from about four thirty to eight thirty

917
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: just in the privacy of my little man cave and

918
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, looking at tape and then you know, and

919
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: then one day a week it's it's taking all those

920
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: ideas and putting it down on paper, you know, typing

921
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: it out. Because I'm one of those old fashioned guys.

922
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: If I write something down, If I write it down

923
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: and then type it, if I do it twice, very sells.

924
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: And do I ever have to refer to it because

925
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of my way of learning, you know. And

926
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: that's but I'm setting you know, it's people don't realize

927
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: the preparation that we do. I know what you do.

928
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: I know how you come loaded for a game and

929
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: I come loaded, you know, and it's it's to me,

930
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: it's seven days a week. We might you know, sometimes

931
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: on a bye week, I'll take one day, but overall

932
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: it's seven days a week. Then that's four hours every

933
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: day on that stuff. So but you know what, it's

934
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: it's worth it. We're enjoying it, really love doing the

935
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: games with you. I just so look forward to it. Yeah, same,

936
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: could not agree more absolutely, And uh, we're gonna reset it.

937
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: Get out that tape on some of those playoff teams

938
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: that the Colts could potentially play because as of right now,

939
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: we're not going to know until what late Sunday night. Yeah,

940
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: I won't know till Sunday night that. I don't know

941
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: if they flex that game or what they did it

942
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: that way. I guess they did Las Vegas and San Diego.

943
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: And I actually at your I'm taking your advice. I

944
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: did Kansas City and Cincinnati with the emphasis on Cincinnati

945
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: this morning, and I told you that was like an

946
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: AFL nineteen sixty five. You talk about quarterback, Oh my god,

947
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Joe Namath in that game, you know

948
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, really, I swear to God to

949
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: you look like the San Diego Chargers New York Jets

950
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: in the sixty exactly. Well, I'm hoping there's a week

958
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,520

959
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: they're in and they would snap a road losing streak

960
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: that dates back to twenty fourteen against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
