1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts now. Here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Welcome everybody to the last Colts

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: Daily Update from Grand Park. As training camp concluded today

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: up in Westfield. Practice ran from about ten to eleven

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: twenty and I'm not sure you could call it a practice,

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: more of a hybrid practice, you know, kind of a

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: practice slash jog through, walk through instructional time. But the

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Colts did get a final workout in today and now

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: it's all about the preseason finale tomorrow, or I should

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: say on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium when the Colts

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kickoff of that game

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: is at seven thirty. You can listen to it right

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: here on ninety three five and one oh seven five

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the Fan. I'm Matt Taylor, JJ Stankovitz, JJ, congratsman campus over.

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: We did it? Do you celebrate or do I celebrate?

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: How do you handle it? I celebrate by starting to

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: get the sun tan off my body that I've been

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: working on for the last month and resting my back

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. A lot of standing stay back is

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a real condition for us on athletic writers out here.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: But you have the appropriate shoes for the last month

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: or so, you got the souls for it. I do.

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: I do. I have some good camp shoes. It's taking

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: me about ten years to figure out what I need

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: to wear for that, no question about it. All Right,

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: we got about ten minutes here on the Daily Update.

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna recap all that we saw the last five

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: or so weeks and then kind of preview Saturday's game

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. Training camp is over, JJ, What were

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: your big takeaways from what we saw? Let's start on offense.

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: How did the offense grow from July twenty seventh, I

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: think was the first day of practice until now. What

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: steps did they take that make you feel confident about

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: where they are? So? You know, I think everyone kind

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: of knows what Matt Ryan has done and brought to

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: this team throughout training camp, the leadership, the focus, the

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: quarterback talent certainly is there. I want to talk about

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line though. Until Ryan Kelly missed yesterday's practice

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: on Wednesday with COVID, the Colts starting five offensive line

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: had practiced together every single day. Point. That is rare.

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: It's the opposite last year. It is the opposite of

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: last year where eighty percent of the offensive line was

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: in and out or just out for most of training camp.

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: This year you get the same five guys and for

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: Matt Pryor and for Danny Pinter stepping into starting roles,

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: that's huge to be able to consistently play next to

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: Quinton Nelson and Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith, kind of

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: the three stalwarts of this offensive line. But beyond that,

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: this line got a ton of work. With Matt Ryan,

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: they got a lot of work knowing exactly where we

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: know when we say he's having a five step drop,

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: he's having a seventh step drop, where is that going

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: to be in? How long do we have to hold

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: our blocks? Nuances like that that last year when you

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: had guys going in and out, you weren't quite able

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to get that. And also the quarterback was out last year.

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: So I think this is going to help the Colts

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: start stronger as an offensive line. And you know, when

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: you go into these games, you want to win up front,

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: especially against the Texans and Jaguars. And to me, one

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: of the biggest developments of training camp is that that

63
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: offensive line has been together and they have been able

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: to grow. And something Ryan Kelly said in the middle

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: of training camp was last year the Colts weren't really

66
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: able to challenge themselves as an offensive line because they

67
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: didn't get that time together. Who is in training camp right, Yeah,

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: and this training camp they've been you know, Quintin Nelson's

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: been able to challenge Ryan Kelly, and Ryan Kelly has

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: been able to challenge Braydon Smith and you kind of

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: get that group together playing cohesively as one and growing

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: every day. Again, that's been to me one of the

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: biggest developments we've seen out here. Another revelation on offense

74
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: before we switch over to the defensive side of the

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: ball is Matt Ryan likes himself. So Michael Pittman JO

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: loves it. I mean Michael Pittman Junior. It's not hyperbole.

77
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: He has caught twice as many passes as the number

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: two guy throughout the course of camp here in the month. Yeah,

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: that connection has been strong, and it started strong, but

80
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: I love to see how it's grown and how Matt

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Ryan has learned where he can place balls with Pitt,

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: how pitt has learned When Matt Ryan says be on

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: this spot to be on that spot, and that's something

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: that they've really put a lot of work in. We

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: just had a chance to catch up with Reggie Wayne

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: on Monday about that connection and just how you know,

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior kind of had to relearn some different

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: things throughout training camp of because he's working with a

89
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: new quarterback, and that happens every time you make a

90
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: transition to a new quarterback, that connection. I mean, Michael

91
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. If you have a fantasy draft coming up

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: and you're looking at Michael Pittman Juctions alone, I mean,

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you to take him, but I'm

94
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: gonna tell you should strongly consider taking Michael Pittman Junior.

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: It's JJ Stangovitz with his Fantasy update, right Yeah. I'm

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and this is the Colt's Daily Update on

97
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: at Grand Park, brought to you by Coursing Fire and Security. Defensively,

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: it's been a new scheme, new assistant coaches, a lot

100
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: of new players with unique and goackway Steffund Gilmore, Um,

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, some rotational depth along that defensive line. How close.

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Is the defense now here at the end of camp

103
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: to operating where it needs to be, understanding the scheme,

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: mastering the scheme in order for it to be successful

105
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: and play fast. On September eleventh, I think they're they've

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: done a good job picking it all up. I think,

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, if you probably ask us Bradley, he would

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: probably say, we got you know, we got some things

109
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: to work on. We still have, you know, ways to go,

110
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: which is going to happen when you're in putting a

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: new scheme into a group of players. But the thing

112
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: about this Colts defense made mad. They just got some dudes,

113
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: Like they just got dudes Pro Bowls, you got a

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: former Defensive Player of the Year, and every single level

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: of this defense. Julian Blacks having a tremendous kid. Yeah,

116
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: he's having a tremendous camp, the players on this defense.

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: What I have taken away from it is that if

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: there are some growing pains with the scheme, which again

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: happens a lot when you're in, you know, putting in

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: a new scheme. If there are growing pains, the cold

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: to have the athletes and the talent on this defense

122
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: to overcome that early in the season that's been my takeaway.

123
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this defensive line looks very very good. Good

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: news today about Quitty Pay on the front. He suffered

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: a knee injury and Wednesday's practice, Frank Creich said today

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: he had an MRI came back pretty clean. Sounds like

127
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Quitty will be available for the season opener against Houston.

128
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 1: That is very good news, obviously with the defensive line.

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Obviously not Saturday though, right, I yeah, unlikely for him

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: to play on Saturday. But this defense, there's so much

131
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: talent on this defense that if they can play within

132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: the scheme to start the season, man, they're gonna be good.

133
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really good, no question about that. All right,

134
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: let's focus on Saturday. We know the starters are gonna play.

135
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: That means just about everybody we talked about. Quitty Pay,

136
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor probably will not play, but everybody else is

137
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: fair game. And nikeem Hines Frank Frank Creich told us

138
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday, nihem Hines will not play. Along with Jonathan Taylor,

139
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: those are gonna be kind of the only starters on offense.

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like they're not going to get out there.

141
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: The Colts want to get a pretty long look at

142
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, Tyson Williams, Dean Jackson and DeVante Price at

143
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: that running back position and night he hinds. I mean, look,

144
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: you don't the Colts know what he is, that he

145
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: got some good working in Buffalo. Jonathan Taylor does not

146
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: need the work, but the rest of the starters, it

147
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: sounds like you're going to play iron out some details.

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: And you know, Matt Ryan said the first this last

149
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: preseason game, you're not thinking about the Buccaneers. You're thinking

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: about us and what can we do to get better

151
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: as a team. It doesn't matter who you're playing. You

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: could be playing the you know, Ottawa Ottawa Redblacks from

153
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the Canadian Football League. You just want to get that

154
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: work out there so it'll it'll be all you just

155
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: provide a bullets and board material for that squad. Didn't

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: for the Ottawa right now. I'm sure they're a great team.

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: But at the point is it doesn't matter who you're playing.

158
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: You want you're focusing on yourself. This is the last

159
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: time you get to do that in a game setting.

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: Two weeks after it, that's when it starts mattering who

161
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: your opponent is, what what? What? Classifies a success that

162
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday from those first teamers. Obviously the score is

163
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: not gonna Matt, but you'll say the Colts are ready

164
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: for the regular season if you see what I think.

165
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: The first thing, obviously is you want everyone to stay healthy. Um.

166
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: I think that goes without saying, and probably everyone listening

167
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: to this on the radio is screaming into their cars

168
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: or radios or whatever those to do stay healthy. But

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: I think the number two things you just want to

170
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: see crisp operation on offense. Uh, no penalties, you know,

171
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: keep the mental errors to a minimum. Um. You know,

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting with the offensive line where

173
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: if Ryan Kelly doesn't play, you're gonna get some look

174
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: at you know, some work with Danny Pinter at center,

175
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: which is important, getting him that work with Matt Ryan

176
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: in case he needs to step in at some point

177
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: during the regular season. That's important. Right. Will Fries has

178
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: been at right guard over the last couple of days

179
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: of camp, so I would expect him to slide in there.

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: And then you know, I think you want to see

181
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: that development between Matt Ryan and the and the receivers

182
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: and his pass catchers. We've seen it with Michael Pittman Jr.

183
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: We've seen steady growth with Alec Pierce. That's been very impressive,

184
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: especially over the last couple of weeks. You want to

185
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: see that continue to carry over into the game. You

186
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: want to take a look at Jelani Woods in this game,

187
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: as he's kind of he's I think he's had a

188
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: couple really good weeks of practice ever since he caught

189
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: that touchdown in Buffalo. Now with Drew Rogeltree being out,

190
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: he started to really ascend, which is good news for

191
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: the Colts. On defense, same thing. You want to see

192
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: that D line attacking. You want to see the defensive

193
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: backs playing with the proper technique and covering the way

194
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: that you know they're going to need to do. And

195
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: then hey had special teams. Got a new punter, Yeah,

196
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: Matt Hawk coming in from Buffalo to replace Rugoberto Sanchez

197
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: who suffered that torn achilles. And then Rodrigo blankets had

198
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: only one kicker, and only one kicker because Rodrigo Blanketship

199
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: won the job. Jake Verity was released Thursday morning, so

200
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Rodrigo Blanketship take the whole game all right.

201
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Before we closed out, let's talk about injuries obviously, Shaquille

202
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Leonard still on pup. Dennis Kelly still remains, you know,

203
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: out after dealing with his knee. He had surgery earlier

204
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: this month. He's still banged up. Isaiah Roger has missed

205
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of practices with a concussion. You brought

206
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: up Quitty pay The Colts got really good news. There

207
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse considering he went down

208
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: in practice earlier this week with that need sounds like

209
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: it's only a bone bruise, as you alluded to. Any

210
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: update on those guys, anybody that could play in this

211
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: game that we haven't seen lately in practice, I don't

212
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: know about playing in the game, just because you still

213
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: do exercise caution when it comes to these preseason games.

214
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: So you know, Isaiah Rodgers didn't practice today, Dennis Kelly

215
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't practice today. You probably aren't going to see those guys.

216
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: Didn't sit there. Cameron Klein after Cameron Kin, Yeah, same thing.

217
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: He was dealing with a concussion. The one though, just

218
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a thought here, not that Shaquille

219
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: Leonard is going to play, certainly, but we had a

220
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: chance to hear from Frank Reich and he said, there

221
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been a discussion about putting Shaquille on pup, which

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: right now, if he were placed on the reserve pup list,

223
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: he would miss the first four games of the season.

224
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: That has not been a discussion. That's encouraging in a sense.

225
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's gonna play Week one doesn't, right, it doesn't.

226
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't guarantee anything for the first couple of weeks

227
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: this season one, but teams were able starting Tuesday to

228
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: place players who are on active pup on reserve pup,

229
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: which takes some off the roster and means they missed

230
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: the first four games of the season. That is not

231
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: something the Colts have talked about with Shaquille Leonards. So

232
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: keep crossing your fingers on that one that his recovery

233
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: continues to go as planned and he continues to progress well.

234
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: But hopefully that's not something that we're going to see

235
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: coming up here. The big the big thing is going

236
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: to be on Tuesday mate with roster cuts, where if

237
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: the Colts believe that Shaquille Leonard could be back in

238
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the first couple of games, then he'll be on the

239
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: active roster. If they believe he's gonna have to miss

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: the first month of the season, then he would probably

241
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: be put on reserves. Pup. Yeah, pretty simple there. I

242
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: think you spelled that out pretty well. All right, what

243
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: are you writing about on the website going into the

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: final preseason game Colts dot com and the mobile app

245
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: usual game preview is going to be up on Colts

246
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: dot Com. But I also talked to Dio Dangbo this

247
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: week about his growth as a pass rusher. Two sacks.

248
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Ye had two sacks. He's having a productive preseason out there,

249
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: but just how he kind of has learned to focus

250
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: what he's working on in practice every day. And something

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: he told me that it was interesting that I'm putting

252
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: in there is that last year when he came back,

253
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, middle of the season, the Colts had kind

254
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: of ratcheted things down in terms of midweek practices. He's

255
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: practicing essentially once a week, really going after it. And

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: now he's in that grind getting better every day, getting

257
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: better every day, and you know, learning how to play

258
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: through soreness and and focusing on just one thing to

259
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: work on every day because there's a next day to

260
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: work on another and during this time you're not you're

261
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: not scheming for an opponent, which that's all you're doing

262
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: in the regular so he's working a lot on using

263
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: his length. He's got thirty four thirty five and a

264
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: quarter inch arms, which is the twenty second longest set

265
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: of arms for an edge rusher over the last twenty

266
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: three years in the NFL Draft. There's your fun fact.
