00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,320

00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: inside the Red Song.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: He's trek down from behind down to the nineteen yard line.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: We're talking Colts and recapping the action.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 4: Ten good five, but touchdown for the Colts.

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: How found an idiot?

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 5: What's cars on a block?

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 6: Cut?

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: Settles influencing downfield and it is puticked up by the Colts.

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: You're running the other way with it. Now.

13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: Here's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor from the

Speaker 3: you until seven o'clock here tonight on the fan. Head

00:00:59,520 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: in just.

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: A few minutes.

25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 3: Says he's in route to the studio now and then

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 3: coming up on segment two as always, will be joined

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: by Colts radio analyst Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights, and

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: we're taking your questions tonight on social media as always,

29
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: submit those in I get those thoughts in those questions

30
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: on x with the hashtag Colts Roundtable. On Sunday, the

31
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: Colts fellut to the Falcons twenty nine to ten. Obviously,

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: the game is more than forty eight hours old now,

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: so we don't need to spend a lot of time reflecting,

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: but there's no doubt the Colts have a lot to

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: clean up heading into the final two games of the

36
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: season after a disappointing performance on Christmas Eve and their

37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: final regular season road game of the year. The Falcons

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: outgained the Colts four hundred and six to two hundred

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: and sixty two, and the Colts were outscored twenty nine

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: to three. After taking an early seven to nothing lead

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: on the first drive of the game and the Colts'

42
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: strengths coming into the game, they were neutralized down in Atlanta.

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: They entered the game with twenty five sacks in their

44
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: past six games and had recorded a takeaway in nineteen

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: straight games, but they ended without a turnover on defense,

46
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: and they just had a single sack and only four

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: quarterback hits on Falcons quarterback Taylor Heineke. Atlanta used big

48
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: plays to beat the Colts, as Indianapolis allowed a season

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: high eighteen plays that gained ten or more yards, and

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: seventeen of the falcons twenty three first downs came on

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: either first or second down. Meanwhile, for the Colts offense,

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: it didn't look like it did the week before against

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: the Steelers. After bowling Pittsburgh for one hundred and seventy

54
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: rushing yards, the Colts only mustered ninety two yards on

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: the ground and allowed his season high six sacks on

56
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew and were tackled behind the line of scrimmage

57
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: on eight other plays, and the ten points the Colts

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: scored were tied for a season low, and the Colts

59
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: averaged only three point nine yards per play. So the

60
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: Colts head into the final two weeks of the season,

61
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: they are one of five teams in the AFC right

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: now with the record of eight and seven trying to

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: make the postseason. As of right now, the Colts hold

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: the seventh and final AFC playoff spot because they have

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: the best AFC conference record among teams like the Texans, Steelers,

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: and Bengals, who are all also eight and seven, and

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: the Colts are also two and a three way tie

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: for first place in the AFC South with the Jaguars

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: and the Texans, but Jacksonville there holds the tiebreaker over

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 3: Houston in Indianapolis. And also, don't look now, the Colts

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: opponent this weekend, red Hot. The Raiders come to Lucas

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Oil Stadium on New Year's Eve, winners of two in

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: a row, and they're seven and eight and also in

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: the mix for a playoff berth heading into the final

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: pair of games. So the margin of air razor thin

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: in the last two weeks are going to be fascinating

77
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: all over the NFL. All right, We've got a loaded

78
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: show tonight as always, and we start per usual with

79
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: our chat with Colts head coach Shane Steichen as he's

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: made his way into studio. It's presented tonight by Citizens

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: Energy Group and coach. Obviously, a very tough outing in Atlanta.

82
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: Got off to a good start, scored a touchdown on

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: the opening drive of the game, but it was really

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: hard after that. What happened after that first possession in

85
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: terms of making it challenging to get stops and move

86
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: the ball consistently after you led seven to nothing.

87
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously we didn't play our best in all three phases,

88
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 7: and it starts with myself, Well, we gotta be better there.

89
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 7: But the good thing is we had a great opportunity

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 7: in front of us getting ready for the Raiders this

91
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 7: week at home.

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 8: Everything we wants in front of us, and yeah, we

93
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 8: gotta go. We gotta go get it this.

94
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: Week, no doubt about it. The sense of urgency there.

95
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: And we talked about the big plays for the Falcons.

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: I think eleven plays over fifteen yards. What were some

97
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: things that went into their explosivity if you will.

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 8: On offense, we knew the back was a good player

99
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 8: going into the game.

100
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 7: You know, he's a tough guy to tackle, and he

101
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 7: got out in space a few times and made some

102
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: guys miss and credit to him for making those plays.

103
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 7: And you know, we all got to be better there

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 7: wrapping up. But we'll get those things cleaned up this week,

105
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 7: have a great week of preparation and get ready again,

106
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 7: like I said, for the Raiders.

107
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: You know, specifically on offense, just a one touchdown for

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: the game. It came on that first drive. Tip your

109
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: cap to Atlanta's defense. It was a really good defense

110
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: going in and then may some plays, but what made

111
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: it hard to consistently put good drives together against them

112
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: again after that that first possession.

113
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, Court, then they did a good job of mixing

114
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 7: their stuff up on the back end with the fronts

115
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 7: and everything, and they did a good job. You know,

116
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 7: credit to them, Hats off to them. We got to

117
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 7: be better, I gotta be better, but they did a heck.

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 8: Of a job.

119
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: You know, you had Michael Pittman Junior in practice last week,

120
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: you thought he was going to play, and then on

121
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: Saturday he's ruled out. I mean that's the nature of

122
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: the concussion protocol. But how challenging was it in terms

123
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: of putting the game plan together thinking you're going to

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: have him, and then at the last minute on Saturday

125
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: not having a player of his caliber all of a

126
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: sudden that you're at your disposal.

127
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, you just got to be ready to adjust.

128
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 7: Obviously, losing a player like Pittman hurts some, but you know,

129
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 7: we have faith in all the guys that step in,

130
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 7: and you know, we had to adjust Saturday night and

131
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 7: get ready to go for Sunday morning.

132
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 8: That's how it went.

133
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: And then from a logistics standpoint, today, the Colts had

134
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: to place Julian Blackman on injured reserve this afternoon with

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: a shoulder injury. Got banged up in Atlanta. Really tough

136
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: to see. I mean, how tough is that from your

137
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: standpoint considering how good of a season was having right

138
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: his veteran presence and then just now trying to replace

139
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: his production and steadiness in the back end.

140
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's tough to lose a player like Julian.

141
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 7: Like you said, he's playing, he's been playing at a

142
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 7: high level, you know, getting takeaways for us. So you know,

143
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 7: next guy's got to step up. You know, feel bad

144
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: for him, but I know he'll come back stronger from it.

145
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: All right, last one for me again. You got two

146
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 3: games left, and I'm sure you saw what Gardner Minshew

147
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: said after the game. To paraphrase him, he said, hey,

148
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: you got to start, you know, instead of doing the

149
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: schedule math and looking around and figuring out who needs

150
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: to win, who needs to lose. You can't take this lightly.

151
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: You can't rely on other people to punch your ticket

152
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, because you got to start taking care

153
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: of your own business. You might not end up with

154
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: another chance to do this. So what did you gather

155
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: from the team's mood and the temperament after the game.

156
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 7: I mean, it was great message by Gardner that he

157
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 7: said to the team in the locker room, and it

158
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 7: is we got to have tunnel vision. It's about us

159
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 7: going forward. We got a huge one this week and

160
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 7: that's all that matters is we got to beat the

161
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 7: Raiders and then we'll worry about the next one. Right now,

162
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 7: we're worried about the Raiders, and that's what our focus

163
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 7: has got.

164
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 4: To be on.

165
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to a few fan questions here

166
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: with your coach. I know your time is very precious

167
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: here in a short week, if you will. With Christmas

168
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: on Monday, Let's go to James asking coach, were we

169
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: just not ready to play or did we just run

170
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: into a bad matchup in Atlanta? We didn't seem to

171
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: have the same fire as we did the week before

172
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh.

173
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, we obviously started off fast offensively, and then we

174
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 7: couldn't get anything going the rest of the game. And

175
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 7: obviously we gave some big plays and we just didn't.

176
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 7: It wasn't enough, and we got to be better again.

177
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 7: It starts with myself and we got to get this

178
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 7: thing turned around. We'll get it turned around this week.

179
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: It's the Raiders, all right.

180
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Taylor's asking, we kept trying to pound the ball in

181
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: the middle of the defense with interior runs. What made

182
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: it tough to penetrate the defense and those two linebackers

183
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: they had.

184
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, they did a good job with their

185
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: front obviously Klass Campbell's a big guy, and then Bud Dupree.

186
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 7: You know, we thought about getting the ball around on

187
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: the perimeter there towards the end of the game, but

188
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 7: at that point we were down a couple scores there

189
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 7: and we had to start throwing a little more. But yeah,

190
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 7: I could have got it around to the perimeter earlier

191
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 7: in the game.

192
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: All right, this is a logistical question. John is asking.

193
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: Does Michael Pittman Junior have to reclear all the concussion

194
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: steps again this week?

195
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 8: Yes, he does. He's got to go through the protocol again.

196
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: So that the five step process. Yep, just like you

197
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: did last week. All right, very good. Henry's asking, We

198
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: used a lot of backs on Sunday. Do you like

199
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: mixing the backs or was that the plan to ease

200
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor back into the lineup.

201
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, we had.

202
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 7: We you know obviously good goodie and uh and traded

203
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 7: a good job the week before and then getting uh,

204
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 7: you know, Jonathan back was good. But yeah, you know,

205
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 7: it was just kind of like obviously it was tough

206
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 7: sledding for us running football there, and so we were

207
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 7: rotating those guys in. But again, like you know how

208
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 7: it is if we if someone's got a hot hand,

209
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 7: we'll ride that hot hand. And uh, obviously it wasn't

210
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 7: going our way last Sunday, and uh this way this week.

211
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 8: We got to get back on track.

212
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: Colt Round Table Live tonight. That's head coach Shane sticking

213
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: with us here tonight ninety three five and one oh

214
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: seven five the Fan. Let's go to a few more here,

215
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: Mitch is asking coach, with only two games to play,

216
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: what do you think needs to be corrected the most

217
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: in order for us to win out and make the playoffs.

218
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 7: Well, I think offensively, you know, we gotta we gotta

219
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 7: you know, good drives obviously starting on first and ten

220
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 7: and not put ourselves in second in long situations, third

221
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 7: and long situations, and we got to create explosive plays.

222
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 8: You know, usually we've done a good job of creating

223
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 8: some explosives. We didn't get that done last week.

224
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 7: And then you know, defensively, we gotta you know, we

225
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 7: gotta tackle better there and not give up the explosives

226
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 7: bottom line and stop the run. And I feel confident

227
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 7: that we'll get that done this week, all right.

228
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 3: Last one coming from Bobby. He says, two out of

229
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: the last three weeks, teams have gotten the ball out

230
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: quickly on us and neutralized our pass rush. What can

231
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: we do about that?

232
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 8: I think that's tough.

233
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 7: I mean, anytime the team's got to, you know, get

234
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 7: the ball out quick, obviously we gotta have tight coverage

235
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 7: on the back end, you know, if they're gonna get

236
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 7: the ball out quick, and so we can make those

237
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 7: you know, those windows tighter for the quarterback.

238
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 8: That's that's the key.

239
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: All right.

241
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: The Raiders are up next. They come into this game

242
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: winners of two in a row. They're now in the mix, right,

243
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: They're seven and eight, two huge games inside their own

244
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: division there in the AFC West. They just played on Christmas.

245
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: They beat the Chiefs on the road, huge win for them.

246
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 3: How big of a challenge is this gonna be on

247
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: Sunday from what you've seen so far from them on film, Yeah.

248
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 8: It'll be big.

249
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 7: Obviously, they've been playing really good football as of late. Defensively,

250
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 7: they play hard, they play together. Obviously, Max Crosby is

251
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 7: a huge threat on defense, so we've got to be

252
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 7: alert for him where he's at. And then offensively, you know,

253
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 7: they got Devonte Adams who's a heck of a player

254
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 7: and they're playing good football, so we got to be

255
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 7: ready to go and be an r a game.

256
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: Indeed.

257
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,160

00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: So we were very grateful.

388
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: And did I hear you right? Christmas actually started while

389
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: Santa came on on Christmas Eve. He came early while

390
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: you guys were out driving out and about, and Santa

391
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: had that that early planner schedule already for you guys.

392
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah he did.

393
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, Rudolph came a little bit early through the fog there,

394
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 14: so that was nice. And we celebrated opened everything up

395
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 14: Christmas Eve, so that was that was a change up,

396
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 14: a little curve ball, but it was nice.

397
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 4: Yeah indeed.

398
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080

00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 15: Well, they were waiting for me after that disaster on

402
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 15: Sunday on Christmas Eve, and it really did pick me up.

403
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 15: I mean there there is nothing you know like family

404
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 15: or family at the end of the day. And we

405
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 15: had them all. We had the Big Twelve, We had

406
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 15: them from all areas and we had a blast. We

407
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 15: ate it four so I you know, I did actually

408
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 15: get a chance to watch the Raiders too. So my

409
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 15: family and football, my my love, one love and two love,

410
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 15: we're right there and I really enjoyed it.

411
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: Yep, everything you need on one day right there again,

412
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: Rick Venturi Joe writes along, I'm Matt Taylor. This is

413
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: Colt's Roundtable Live tonight with you until seven o'clock. We're

414
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: unpacking the colts twenty nine to ten loss to the

415
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons the other day, and we lead off as

416
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: we always do, Rick and Joe, they've still despite all

417
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: the hustle and bustle and all the family time around

418
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: the holidays, they have still obviously found some time to

419
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: examine the game film from Sunday. So let's roll it out, Fellas.

420
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: Time now for the tail of tape.

421
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: Well, baby, race and hell today.

422
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 5: Okay, go fellows, bang bang playing bang banks.

423
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 6: Keep the hammer down, all right, keep talking to one

424
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: another man to clean it up.

425
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: That's all get right.

426
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: As we look on the tail of the tape as

427
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: the Colts fall to eight and seven, Colts coming up short,

428
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: Joe to the Falcons, giving up over four hundred yards

429
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 3: of offense. They were outscored sixteen to three in the

430
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: second half, after they scored only seven points the week

431
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: before against the Panthers. So a lots of when pack,

432
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: As I said, Joe, what does your tale of the

433
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: tape say about the Colts' latest loss in Atlanta?

434
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

435
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 14: So one of my favorite Christmas movies is The Grinch,

436
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 14: So I'm gonna go first part of the Grinch movie,

437
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 14: and that's the disappointment that Jacksonville got blown out. The

438
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 14: division was right there for the take and we needed

439
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 14: to keep it going. We had the chance to really,

440
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 14: you know, just grab this thing by the throat, potentially

441
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 14: host the first playoff game, and we just didn't get

442
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 14: it done. We just laid an egg, I mean playing

443
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 14: and simple. Now, when the Grinch, you know, realizes the

444
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 14: true meaning of Christmas, his heart grows three sizes. The

445
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 14: positive news is everybody else lost, and Matt, we still

446
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 14: control our own destiny to get into the playoffs. You

447
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 14: got two home games, you win them both, you're gonna

448
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 14: be in the tournament and that's the good news. But

449
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 14: when you break down the tape, there's a lot of

450
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 14: things we got to fix. And overall, my biggest takeaway

451
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 14: is just the explosive plays. It seemed like Atlanta was

452
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 14: just running them at will. It didn't matter if they

453
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 14: we running a screen pass on third down for fifteen

454
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 14: yards or gashing us in the run game six to

455
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 14: ozh a carry.

456
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: We got to get that figured out.

457
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 14: And when you look at our stats, the most glaring

458
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 14: one for me was our yards per pass four point

459
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 14: zero yards per pass that just doesn't get it done,

460
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 14: especially as you transition to higher level and into the

461
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 14: playoffs and you're playing January football. But I thought, for me, really,

462
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 14: you know, we started out well, we come down to

463
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 14: thirteen play drive, we score, it looks like, hey, we

464
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 14: got a lot of momentum. But then we let them

465
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 14: go right back down And I thought the two biggest

466
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 14: turning points in the game that next drive, we had

467
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 14: another good one going. We're first and ten on their

468
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 14: thirty four. You're thinking, hey, worst case we're going to

469
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 14: get three. We give up back to back sacks, take

470
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 14: us out of field goal range. And then the other

471
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 14: backbreaker for me was coming out of the half they score.

472
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 14: But then it's twenty to ten, we kick a field

473
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 14: goal and Atlanta's got third and fifteen backed up on

474
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 14: their own twenty and we let them run that little

475
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 14: screen pass to Smith, a little tight end, and I

476
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 14: mean he just ran right down us for fifteen yards.

477
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 14: And I felt like, at that point late in the

478
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 14: third quarter of the game was essentially over. So a

479
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 14: lot of things to fix and correct. And if I'm

480
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 14: Shane Stike, and you don't want to overreact to it,

481
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 14: because again, you got everything still in front of you.

482
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 14: But you can't just underreact kind of like and just

483
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 14: throw it out the window. There's some glaring things we

484
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 14: got to address, and for me, really getting back to

485
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 14: our roots in terms of being able to stop the run,

486
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 14: run the football, and then do a better job in protection.

487
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 14: I felt like in protection they had a good plan.

488
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 14: They were just playing us tight coverage and what their

489
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 14: defensive ends are doing, everybody's going to copy this.

490
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: They were just running up the.

491
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 14: Field, going speed to power and compressing the pocket, not

492
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 14: giving Minshew anywhere to go.

493
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: I think we got to do some things to change.

494
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 14: Up our protection, have our tackles set a little bit

495
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 14: firmer on the line, some jump sets, some different things,

496
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 14: because it felt like all day it was the same situation.

497
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 14: They just ran up field, speed to power, compressed Minshew,

498
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 14: kept him in the cup there and you'll giveing up

499
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 14: six sacks.

500
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: We just had no answer for it.

501
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 15: Well, I sure hope the coach Steiken overreacts because I

502
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 15: can't stand it. I would definitely overreact. I'll be honest

503
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 15: with you, you know. I thought that it's interesting that

504
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 15: the coach managed to follow up one of the best

505
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 15: performances in recent times with a truly awful performance in Atlanta.

506
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 15: That's the worst beat down and fountain in Fulton County

507
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 15: since General Sherman burned the city down in the Civil War.

508
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 15: You know, they beat us schematically and they unfortunately totally

509
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 15: dominated us physically. I thought the key thirteen points a

510
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 15: little bit what Joe was saying. The key thirteen points

511
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 15: by the Falcons at the roundabout two in the game,

512
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 15: from seven to seven to twenty to seven, and that

513
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 15: was the two field goals. Matt. We talked about it, yep,

514
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 15: before the half. They got them both within a two

515
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 15: minute frame and then they came out and it was

516
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 15: just a non resistant drive for a touchdown, and I

517
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 15: thought that was huge from a psychological standpoint. It was

518
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 15: just what a six and eight team needed. Then, you

519
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 15: know I always talk about don't let them hang on

520
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 15: the vine. Well that they had an oak tree to

521
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 15: hang on after that. And then I thought the dagger

522
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 15: to me was Bates's pick. It was a frustration throw

523
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 15: by Gardner. But because after that then the Falcons controlled

524
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 15: field position eight o'clock kickfield goals, and you know then

525
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 15: as the lead mounted, then their pass rush went from

526
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 15: one of the worst in the league. The six sacks,

527
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 15: you know, and the then the result just became surreal.

528
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 15: I can only say this. I haven't been sick to

529
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 15: my stomach after a game since my coaching days, but

530
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 15: that did change on Sunday. I thought the defense was

531
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 15: really disgraceful. Twenty nine points, four oh seven, one seventy

532
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 15: seven to that team, two hundred and forty two rushes,

533
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 15: two hundred and forty two total yards to the three

534
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 15: running backs who we knew and we chronicled. Was what

535
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 15: was the deal?

536
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: You know?

537
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 15: I think the fact that we allowed Heineke at seventy

538
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 15: percent six point nine per in a ninety nine rating

539
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 15: to shred us again. You know, I just thought that

540
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 15: was just an amazingly bad performance. And I'm with Joe.

541
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 15: I thought the crowning blow was against this scheme, against

542
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 15: this zone scheme, area zone scheme. It's third and fourteen

543
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 15: and they throw a little bubble out there to Johnny

544
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 15: and he goes eighteen yards. We, in my opinion, we

545
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 15: will never be a force if we continue to play

546
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 15: this way with that soft zone. We made a bad

547
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 15: offensive team look like the greatest show on turf. On offense,

548
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 15: you know, as was my concern, and this was my concern.

549
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 15: The Falcon defense was a Colts nightmare, and I thought

550
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 15: it could happen. That didn't surprise me totally on that side.

551
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 15: You know, they totally shut down the run by, you know,

552
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 15: by by attacking with those inside linebackers. We kept talking

553
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 15: about Ellison Landrum. They were just seemed like they were

554
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 15: in on every play and then they would mix different

555
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 15: bears in there. We were stubborn. We kept hammering inside

556
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 15: and we could. The only time we ever made yard

557
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 15: is is if Jonathan kind of bled it out into

558
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 15: the off tackle. We kept jamming it into that and

559
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 15: we paid for it. We got nothing. And then they

560
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 15: did the other thing. They choked our receivers with tough

561
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 15: man to man coverage or if they played zone, they

562
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 15: just matched everybody tight. I like the word you use.

563
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 15: That's my first defensive coordinator, the great Bud Carson used

564
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 15: to say. They contested every single throw and they basically

565
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 15: overmatched the perimeter, and they pressed, you know, they pressured

566
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 15: Minshew now with delta that three to two inside pressure.

567
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 15: Fifty five was all over it. And then as Joe said,

568
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 15: they crushed and collapsed our tackles you know, the wheels

569
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 15: have come off on Freeland and and and Ryman basically

570
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 15: his ships taking water. They were in they were in

571
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 15: Gardner's lap all day long. And it's a copycat league.

572
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 15: And if they think they think it was easy or

573
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 15: they've had a tough time, wait till they watched the film,

574
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 15: Wait till they watched the tape on Crosby and Coon's

575
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 15: coming up. You know, incredible six sacks, you know that

576
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 15: was that was really it and you know in the

577
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 15: special Team's penalty didn't help. But you know, I am

578
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 15: with Joe. I mean, the amazing thing is that really

579
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 15: you're still in control of your destiny because of the

580
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 15: incredibly bad AFC South, and you definitely have two winnable

581
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 15: games at home now. It's going to be a dog

582
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 15: fight Sunday. But I'll tell you what, the Jaguars just

583
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 15: appear to be dead in the water. So again, please

584
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 15: just pull it together, correct it. And the only thing

585
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 15: that bothers me. I don't want to get into it now,

586
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 15: we'll get into it in the podcast is there's just

587
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 15: you know, some of these things have been so repetition

588
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 15: over a year and a half, and why we can't

589
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 15: fix them. I'll never know, but again, you're in control.

590
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 15: You just have to take care of business. As we said.

591
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 4: Before, no doubt about it.

592
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,120

597
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: Joe writes along tonight. That's their burning reactions after the

598
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: Colts fell to the Falcons on Sunday, dropping to eight

599
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: and seven on the season. That's the tale of the tape.

600
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: When we come back, we're gonna talk about some of

601
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 3: those issues the Colts had in Atlanta and also breakdown

602
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: how correctible they are with only two games to play. Man,

603
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: the margin of air is so so slim with a

604
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: playoff berth hanging in the balance for several teams fighting

605
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: for those wild card spots in the AFC. So we're

606
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,640

00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 4: All right.

683
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 3: The Colts had several areas. They do have several areas

684
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: to clean up after getting out played to the tune

685
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: of twenty nine to ten to the Falcons on Sunday again,

686
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights along on Matt Taylor and

687
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: unfortunately fellas. You can take your pick on some areas

688
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: that are you know, more pressing than others because there

689
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: were just that many, that many levels of concern for

690
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: the Colts with only two games to play. So Joe,

691
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: let's take your pick here on areas that need the

692
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: priority this week. Gearing up for the Raiders in Week seventeen,

693
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: let's talk about the lack of pressure versus run game defense.

694
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: The Falcons had great success on the ground. They racked

695
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: up one hundred and seventy seven yards, They had three

696
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: runs of at least twenty six and their top backs

697
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: Bijon Robinson and Tyler Alzer were each over six yards

698
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: per carry. Now on the flip side, the Falcons kind

699
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: of used that Bengals game plan of getting the ball

700
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: out against the Colts right quick screening the Colts quick release,

701
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: get the ball out fast to the flats, you know,

702
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: three step drops. The Colts racked up only one sack

703
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: for the game, Joe, and they hit Taylor Heineke only

704
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: four times the entire game. So take your pick. What's

705
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: more concerning heading into these final two games, Matt.

706
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 14: When you look at our team, what do we do best?

707
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 14: We stop the run better than we defend the pass.

708
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 14: And so if you're not doing what you do well,

709
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 14: you got no chance to do the other one. And

710
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 14: obviously the running game and lack of pressure go hand

711
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 14: in hand. When you get behind in the count, when

712
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 14: teams just running it will against you. You're not going

713
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 14: to have pressure because the offense is dictating what they

714
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 14: want to do. And that led into their pass game.

715
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 14: All of a sudden, they run some hard play action.

716
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 14: Our linebackers are frozen, they step up for a second,

717
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 14: they throw it right behind you know, speed and Franklin

718
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 14: there through the middle of the field. And so for me,

719
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 14: the lack of run game, we really got to shore up.

720
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 14: And what they were doing. They were going heavy formation,

721
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 14: they were doing bunches and trips. They were getting us

722
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 14: to overload one side player over coming back and running

723
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 14: weak side against that bubble, and they were just gashing us.

724
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 14: And I thought they were more physical on the offensive line.

725
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 14: I thought schimmatically, they did a good job. But we

726
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 14: got to be able to shore up the run game

727
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 14: and make them one dimensional where they have to throw it,

728
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 14: they're not choosing to throw it. And especially we got

729
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 14: to get that done in short order because the Raiders

730
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 14: now they can run the football and we've put that

731
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 14: on tape now, Like Coach mentioned, it's a copycat league,

732
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 14: and we got to do a better job, whether it's

733
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 14: schematically and then also individual effort being physical. But we've

734
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 14: got to be able to shore up that run game.

735
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 14: That concerns me more of these last two games.

736
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: All right, Rick, you agree, lack of pressure versus run

737
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: game defense, just as the run.

738
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 15: There, Well, to me, they're really married. I mean I've

739
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 15: always looked at them that they're so related that one

740
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 15: follows another, you know. And I'm with Joe. I mean,

741
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 15: if you can't stop the run, and I'm going to

742
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 15: add the screen game there, because that is an extension

743
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,239
Speaker 15: of the run, then you never gain an advantage. I

744
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 15: always used to tell, particularly my defensive linemen. I always

745
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 15: told them that you have to stop the run, and

746
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 15: then when you stop the run, then you get the

747
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 15: right to rush the passer. Now, I would argue the

748
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 15: only two things that we do really well is sack

749
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 15: a quarterback when we're an advantage and take the ball away.

750
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 15: Those are the only two things where we're really ranked

751
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 15: high in the National Football League. But in order to

752
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 15: do that, you have to stop a team on first down,

753
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 15: and a lot of that is play action. It's the

754
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 15: running game you know, and it's the screen game, and

755
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 15: you know we're not varied at all teams after sixteen weeks. No,

756
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 15: we're going to play over every down in some kind

757
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 15: of zone. So they basically know exactly what we're doing.

758
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 15: And we have to change that up a little bit

759
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 15: because when you get your pass rushes, when you go

760
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 15: from the run to the pass rush, when you get

761
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 15: your rushes, as Joe will tell you, is when you

762
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 15: get an advantage when you're second and ten, when you're

763
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 15: third and five, plus you know when you're head in

764
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 15: the fourth quarter, that's when your pass rush is there.

765
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 15: Otherwise it basically is very neutralized. And I would say

766
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 15: that the problem that we're having is we are so

767
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 15: predictable and so Vanila. On first down, we are attracting screens.

768
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 15: They know exactly where to run it. They overloaded this

769
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 15: one side, ran back to the weak side and just

770
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 15: ripped us. And the screen game is there much less

771
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 15: the play action because you don't get any rush on

772
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 15: first down, and there's so many holes in his zone

773
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 15: because nobody's running with anybody. I mean, you get a

774
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 15: guy like London who can't run a lick, you'd press

775
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 15: him all day instead he's finding huge holes in his zone.

776
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 15: So you know, I think the biggest thing is we

777
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 15: have to shut people down on first down, more proactive,

778
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 15: more man coverage, and then have the right to rush

779
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 15: the passer, which we will do.

780
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to the offensive side of the ball.

781
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: We're du playing take your pick here on Colts around

782
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: table live tonight. Let's go the lack of running game

783
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: versus the lack of passing game. In Atlanta, Jonathan Taylor

784
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: looked good early, had the opening touchdown finding the end

785
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: zone the first possession for the Colts, but he had

786
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: just twenty four yards on his next sixteen carries to

787
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 3: finish out the game with forty three yards on eighteen

788
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: carries overall, and then Rick in the passing game, Michael

789
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: Pittman Junior on Sunday didn't play, so the other Colts

790
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: receivers combined for just four catches and thirty yards their

791
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: top targets with the tight ends Kylon Granson and will

792
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: Mallory Gardner. Minshew threw for two to Zho one, but

793
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: his passer rating was just fifty eight point five, and

794
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: the Colts had a season high six drop passes on Sunday,

795
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 3: So take your pick there between those two. What's more

796
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 3: concerning heading into the final two games.

797
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 15: Well, I'd say number one, we cannot win. We cannot

798
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 15: sustain winning without having a running game, not necessarily running

799
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 15: it early in the game to establish it. But there's

800
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 15: never gonna be games that we win where Jonathan Taylor

801
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 15: averages two plus a game. It's just not gonna happen.

802
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 15: We do not, even when Pittman is there, we have

803
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 15: we don't have top tier receivers. Our receivers with the

804
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 15: exception of Peers, who gets about three targets a game,

805
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 15: their their average yards for car yards for catch, including

806
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 15: Pittman is like eight to ten. Those are like slots

807
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 15: in tight ends. None of those guys are explosive. And

808
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 15: so what smart team Smart's team do like Cincinnati and

809
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 15: then Atlanta, And I knew Atlanta would do it because

810
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 15: that's the way they play. They get up in our

811
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 15: mess kit and they press along with the bear front

812
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 15: and they shut it all down. But I think we've

813
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 15: had a gigantic failure this season in not figuring out

814
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 15: how to run the ball off tackle and outside. I

815
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 15: talked about it all through the game that we consisted

816
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 15: on running inside zone plays against loaded inside overlooks, with

817
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 15: shooting linebackers and with bear and we've got to be

818
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 15: able to pry that open. And I don't think we

819
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 15: have any way to really establish a passing game unless

820
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 15: we get a lot more movement and bunches and stacks.

821
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 15: And that's whether Pittman is there or not, because every

822
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 15: receiver we have is scheme dependent, and then we've got

823
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 15: to take some shots to Pierce when we take them.

824
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 15: We even got another PI Sunday set up the town

825
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 15: on that first drive. I mean, but we take like

826
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 15: one a game and that's it. And in the last

827
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 15: three games we've taken three shots to him. Two has

828
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 15: been over the top, and then we've gotten two pis.

829
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 15: So you know, I just think, you know, we're playing

830
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 15: station and we're playing compressed right now, and it's affecting

831
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 15: both the run and the pass.

832
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, and the dovetail off coach, I'm going to say

833
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 14: running game number one. Obviously, the yards per pass four

834
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 14: point zero, that's a concern, but we kind of are

835
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 14: what we are at this point in terms of these

836
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 14: receivers and the different things we do. But we got

837
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 14: to be able to run the football, and when I

838
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 14: watch it schematically, we were just trying to jam it in,

839
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 14: jam it inside. The only way we got yards is

840
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 14: if Taylor was kind of stutter stepping, waiting for a

841
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 14: couple of seconds and slipping out the backside or finding

842
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 14: a crease for five or six yards. But Taylor can

843
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 14: move now, he's athletic. We got to get them the

844
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 14: ball in space, move them around. Teams run these tights

845
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 14: and their linebackers are running up or they're playing bear

846
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 14: like Coach mentioned and covering everybody up inside. Run a

847
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 14: couple toss cracks outside, run misdirection. Get Quentin Nelson out

848
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 14: there pulling in space. He's really good. I wouldn't mind

849
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 14: running a couple gadgets too. I know McKenzie is out,

850
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 14: but downs run him on a reverse, run him on

851
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 14: a jet sweep some things to expand the field, because

852
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 14: if we're just playing hash mark to hash mark, teams

853
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 14: just get more and more condensed. We got to find

854
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 14: ways to use all fifty three yards of the field sideways.

855
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 4: And then when you do that, whether it's.

856
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 14: Through passes, quick screens, toss cracks outside, that allows you

857
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 14: to soften up the middle of the field for Taylor

858
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 14: to just continue to gash it. So I do think

859
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 14: schematically we got to go back to the drawing board

860
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 14: a little bit, because again, this is a copycat league

861
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 14: and the Raiders are gonna do the same exact thing

862
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 14: against Atlanta did until we find a way to get

863
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 14: more creative with our offensive flow running the football.

864
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: All right, let's roll out one more take your pick

865
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 3: before we close out here again. This is a segment

866
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 3: two tonight, Colts Around Table Live ninety three five one

867
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 3: oh seven five the Fan. I'm Matt Taylor, Rick Venturi

868
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: and Joe Wright's here with until seven o'clock talking Colts football. Now,

869
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: the Falcons they score touchdowns on the first drive of

870
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: each half on Sunday, so kind of a lack of

871
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 3: urgency for the Colts at the beginning of the first

872
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: half and the beginning of the second half, and Atlanta

873
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: made it and they made it look easy on both

874
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 3: of those possessions. And then the other side of the

875
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: coin here, the explosive plays very prevalent throughout the game. Rick,

876
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: we tallied them up on the airplane. The Falcons wrecked

877
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 3: up eleven plays of at least fifteen yards. The Colts

878
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: allowed a season high eighteen plays that gained ten or

879
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: more yards. And if you look at it too, seventeen

880
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: of the falcons twenty three first downs came before they

881
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: reached third downs. So take your pick there. What's the

882
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 3: bigger concern there going into the final two?

883
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 15: Well, the explosive plays and basically what explosive plays. I

884
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 15: always felt as a defensive coordinator, explosive plays not necessarily

885
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 15: stopping people all day, but explosive plays you know pretty

886
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 15: much you can handle that, you should be able to handle.

887
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 15: That's that's a controllable and I usually they come on

888
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 15: days with when you're not at that razor edge. You

889
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 15: just don't play with the great effort you normally do.

890
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 15: And for some ungodly reason, I think, looking at the tape,

891
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 15: that was evident. Explosive plays come in four. They come

892
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 15: because of four things. On defense. First of all, you

893
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 15: have to be really well knit, and for some reason

894
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 15: we weren't. We'd be overshifted and they'd run a week

895
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 15: side run and we were like a man short. I mean,

896
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 15: so schematically we weren't well knit. And then you have

897
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 15: to have what I call a good ball cup. Once

898
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 15: a ball breaks, you have to have really the secondary

899
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 15: has to do a really good job of keeping it

900
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 15: inside in front, as we used to say, that is

901
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 15: cupping the ball. Number Three, you have to take really

902
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 15: good pursuit angles. There were times we took inside out

903
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 15: pursuit angles. No chance on Robinson with his speed. And

904
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 15: then all of those three things will lead in the

905
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 15: NFL to a lack of tackling, which becomes the obvious issue.

906
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 15: But it's more than that. In the NFL, if you

907
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 15: allow guys like Robinson and even Johnny Smith, if you

908
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 15: allow them to get one on one in space, all right,

909
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 15: they're gonna make you miss tackles. And that's why you

910
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 15: have to play more man. You have to play more

911
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 15: matchup coverage where you're playing those guys before they get

912
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 15: the ball. You have to take them away. If you

913
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 15: give them the ball in space, they're going to do

914
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 15: that to you. And so explosive plays are a huge

915
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 15: concern of mine.

916
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I'm going to go lack of urgency because

917
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 14: I feel like generally in the NFL, the team that

918
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 14: plays the hardest, the team that plays the most physical,

919
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 14: is going to win the football game.

920
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 4: It's no different than fifth grade football.

921
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 14: And I felt like Atlanta was more physical than we were,

922
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 14: and I felt like coach said, we weren't Razor sharp defensively,

923
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 14: and so a mistackle here, a miscoverage there, somebody doesn't

924
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 14: quite get off their block like they normally do all

925
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 14: of a sudden, that's what leads your eight ten, fifteen

926
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 14: twenty yard chunk plays. And I just felt like watching

927
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 14: the game, obviously I wasn't there like you guys. We

928
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 14: didn't have the same spirit a plane that we've done

929
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 14: all season long. And this Colts team, we've been built

930
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 14: on playing harder than the other team, working with each other,

931
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 14: having ten eleven guys flying to the ball on defense,

932
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 14: and I didn't see any of that on Sunday, And

933
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 14: I don't know for whatever reason. It was just another

934
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 14: kind of like a clunker like Cincinnati. But it's concerning

935
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 14: because you do that, these next two games, we'll get

936
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 14: beat by Oakland or we'll get beat by Houston, and

937
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 14: shame on us if that happens. And Matt, it's Davis javu.

938
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 14: But it brings me back to three years ago. Yeah,

939
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 14: we had two chances. We got to win one game

940
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 14: at home, and guess who we played that home game

941
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 14: we lost Raiders. The Raiders, right, they were Oakland now

942
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 14: and now they're Vegas. But it's the same situation. And

943
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 14: so those guys are in that locker room. I'd be

944
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 14: talking about it all week and I'd be geared up

945
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 14: like crazy for Wednesday practice. It fellas, we got to

946
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 14: be sharp. We got two chances, both at home in

947
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 14: front of our home crowd, to get into the playoffs.

948
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 14: And this isn't a time to say, hey, we're ahead

949
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 14: of schedule and nobody thought we'd be in the playoffs.

950
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 4: You know, that's a bunch of bay. The time is now.

951
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 14: You don't get these opportunities every day where you get

952
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 14: a chance to get into the tournament and get in

953
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 14: the playoffs. And we just need to dial it up,

954
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 14: and we just need to play like our hair on

955
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 14: fire the next two games and guess what if we

956
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 14: do that, we'll be in the playoffs.

957
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 3: All right, that's a look at take your pick, Rick

Speaker 3: Joe Rights, I'm Taylor. You can always submit your questions

1033
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 3: on x for the show using hashtag Colts Roundtable. Jerry's

1034
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: up first to night this. I think Jerry is asking

1035
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 3: this for Rick. He's asking I thought the big plays

1036
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: allowed in the screen game were just a one week

1037
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: problem a few weeks back against the Bengals. How concerning

1038
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: is that for our defense here?

1039
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 15: Rick, Well, it's concerned. It's concerning, and I think it's

1040
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 15: symptomatic of a problem we have on first down. On

1041
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 15: first down, we play ultra conservative, particularly early in the game,

1042
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 15: no blitzing, same front area zone. And so what you're doing,

1043
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 15: Jerry is you're inviting what I call catching run plays

1044
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 15: and play action passes. Catching run plays, you know, our

1045
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 15: swing passes, flat passes to a guy like Robinson screens,

1046
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 15: and because you're not defensing them tight and closing on them,

1047
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 15: you're giving them space to run. And then the second thing,

1048
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 15: by never pressuring and playing zone, you're never going to

1049
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 15: get a good pass rush on first down, and that

1050
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 15: allows those play actions to freeze you and find big

1051
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 15: holes downfields to the tight end and to guys like London.

1052
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 15: So you know, I think we really have a problem

1053
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 15: and we have to address it by being more choke

1054
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 15: off coverage and more pressure on first down.

1055
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's go. We got time for one more here, Joe.

1056
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 3: This is a good one for you. Obviously with the

1057
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 3: offensive line background, Grant is asking what is up with

1058
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: our offensive line the last few weeks? A few weeks

1059
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: we either look really good or we struggle to keep

1060
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: heat off of Minshew, Why so up and down lately?

1061
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, we really have two really bad performances Sandwich

1062
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 14: with a really good performance against Pittsburgh.

1063
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 4: Right, But the first thing is in alignment.

1064
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 14: You've got to have success in the running game, and

1065
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 14: obviously that's part schematic, but that also is just getting

1066
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 14: more movement and being more physical upfront. I felt like

1067
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 14: against the Falcons, then I fell against the Bengals, we

1068
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 14: just were not physical upfront. Secondly, in the past game,

1069
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 14: when you get behind in the sticks and it's third

1070
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 14: and eight, third and ten, third and twelve, and this

1071
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 14: is what they were doing. The tendency as a Lignman

1072
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 14: is it's a five to seven step drop. You just

1073
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 14: got to drop back. It's a longer drop. And I

1074
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 14: totally understand that, but I think when you're a younger

1075
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 14: tackle and I face this too, you get in the

1076
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 14: sense you do the same thing every time. And Freeland

1077
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 14: and Ryman, they were both setting three four five yards

1078
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 14: deep and those guys are going speed to power and

1079
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 14: they just were condensed in the pocket. And then what

1080
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 14: they were doing inside they're running twist games or they're

1081
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 14: running a stunt with a linebacker where they try to

1082
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 14: get your guys on different levels and then they just

1083
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 14: condense the pocket and minsh, you had nowhere to go.

1084
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 14: So I would love for us to see one change

1085
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 14: of protection, potentially move Minshew around a little bit more

1086
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 14: and get him off his spot versus just being right

1087
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 14: behind the center. And then I think our tackles have

1088
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 14: to do a better job about being aggressive. You know,

1089
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 14: Ryman is an athletic guy. He's not the strongest guy still,

1090
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 14: he struggles a little bit of that speed to power.

1091
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 14: But go jump set a guy, Go get on him early,

1092
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 14: and change up your sets. You can't do the same

1093
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 14: thing as a tackle every time, or it's easy for

1094
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 14: the defense, if that makes sense. And I think Freeland,

1095
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 14: you know, Freeland's rookie in Freeland's battle, but he's been

1096
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 14: exposed here the last few games. I think we got

1097
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 14: to have some more protection plans where we have two

1098
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 14: guys dedicated to him or we're sliding to them. But

1099
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 14: it really was a lot of Freeland in Ryman one

1100
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 14: on one, and Ryman's just got to hold up and win.

1101
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 14: I think he can do that by changing up his

1102
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 14: sets and just throwing some different things at the defensive ends.

1103
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 14: And I think we got to help Freeland because otherwise

1104
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 14: we're gonna have the same story unfold here the next

1105
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 14: couple weeks.

1106
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point right there. Again, that's Joe Wrights and

1107
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 3: Rick Venturi. That's a look at the mailbags segments, and

1108
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: I kind of abbreviated shorter than we normally like to

1109
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: get into the questions there. We'd like to leave more

1110
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 3: time for those roundtable discussion questions, but we're up against it.

1111
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 3: Here a little bit tonight with you until seven o'clock.

Speaker 3: tell you where the Colts rank and sit among all

1116
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,880

Speaker 3: a lot of teams eight and seven, including the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 3: And we'll preview weeks seven seventeen the Las Vegas Raiders

1174
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: brought to you by Meyer, the official Supercenter of the

1175
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: Colts and proud sponsor of hundreds of local sports teams

1176
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 3: across the Midwest. So right now in the AFC South,

1177
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 3: you have three teams that are eight and seven. You've

1178
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 3: got the Jaguars, the Colts, and the Texans. But the

1179
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 3: Jaguars hold the tiebreaker over Indianapolis and Houston, So the

1180
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: Jaguars are the four seed right now leading the AFC

1181
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 3: South and the AFC playoff standings. Three other teams outside

1182
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 3: of the Colts competing for an AFC wild card spot.

1183
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 3: You've got the Texans, Steelers, and Bengals all eight and seven.

1184
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: And the reason why the Colts sit at the seventh

1185
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 3: spot in the AFC Playoff pecking order is because they

1186
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 3: have a better AFC record than the Texans, Steelers, and Bengals.

1187
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 3: So the Colts hanging on for dear life for the

1188
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 3: last playoff spot. You have to keep on winning and

1189
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 3: you can't not count on these other teams continuing to

1190
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 3: come up short like they did last Sunday when the

1191
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 3: Texans got blasted by the Cleveland Brown. So, Joe, we

1192
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: close out here with that forgettable performance in Atlanta. But

1193
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 3: now you've got two games left and we've set it

1194
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 3: for about a month. Now, How all of these games

1195
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 3: are kind of like playoff games? And yes, well that's

1196
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 3: been true. It's still a cliched response, if you will,

1197
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 3: But these final two games really like playoff games because

1198
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 3: I don't think the Colts can afford to lose either

1199
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 3: one of them and still make the postseason.

1200
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 4: What say you?

1201
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 14: I agree, there's too many teams battle On bottom line,

1202
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 14: it's win in your in. And we're playing a Raiders

1203
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 14: team that, while they've been playing good football, they should

1204
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 14: get our attention on tape. I like when we're playing them,

1205
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 14: and meaning that they put up sixty three points, they

1206
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 14: got stay fired and then they went in and then

1207
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 14: on Christmas Day they beat the Chiefs, and so they've

1208
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 14: played two pretty good games. But I think it's it's

1209
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 14: the NFL, and it's strange. You play two really good games,

1210
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 14: you're due for a little bit of a game when

1211
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 14: you're not as razor sharp. That's how we were against Atlanta.

1212
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 14: So I like when we're playing Oakland. But I know, Coach,

1213
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 14: with that extra day on Christmas, you probably already got

1214
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 14: to dial up the tape on Vegas.

1215
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, and really to you know, to keep it brief

1216
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 15: and direct. Vegas is coming in here. I agree with you.

1217
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 15: They may take a deep breath after two great wins,

1218
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 15: but they're playing with great enthusiasm under Piers. They're aggressive

1219
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 15: and physical and stingy on defense number nine in the

1220
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 15: league and fewest points, giving up two terrific edge guys

1221
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 15: and Crosby and Coons, and then a renewed and a

1222
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 15: rebirth of their running game white Wet for one five,

1223
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 15: you know, against the Chiefs, and Jacobs is waiting in

1224
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 15: the wing, you know, whenever he can get that quad

1225
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 15: ready to go. So it's going to be one hell

1226
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 15: of an AFC battle there Sunday.

1227
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,720
