00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: God.

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,040

00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: a lot of topics to get into tonight regarding the Colts.

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: Here's a loose schedule coming up. We're going to start

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 4: the show in just a few moments. Colts head coach

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: Shane Steichen will join me in studio, we'll talk about

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 4: the close loss in Seattle and the Colts can rebound

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 4: from here three games to play down the stretch of

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: the regular season. The Colts now sit with an eight

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 4: and six record, losers of four in a row. Then

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: following that, Colts radio analyst Rick vent Turrey and Joe

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: Wrights will join me on the program and we'll begin

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 4: breaking down what happened in Seattle. We'll go over the

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: game film with a fine tooth comb and also talk

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: about the common areas that are holding the Colts back

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: from closing out close games, which was the case on

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 4: Sunday against the Seahawks. And as always, we want to

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: hear from you tonight. You the fans, you helped drive

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 4: the show, and we want your social media questions all

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: evening long. We'll post those to head coach Shane Steichen

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: and to Rick vent Turrey and Joe Writes later on

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: in the program on our mailbag segment, submit your thoughts

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: on x with hashtag Colts Roundtable. That's always the best

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: way to do it. And we'll get to the bet

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: ones throughout the course of the next hour, But we

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: begin with the unfortunate truth for the Colts again. They

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: are eight and six. They've lost four in a row

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: and five of their last six, and the seven and

45
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: one start it seems like a distant memory as the

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: Colts couldn't close out a close game in Seattle, losing

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: eighteen to sixteen the game's final minute and fast forwarding

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 4: to the end, Philip Rivers and the Colts. They got

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: the ball back with just over two minutes to play,

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: facing a fifteen to thirteen deficit, and Rivers drove the

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: Colts into range of a sixty yard field goal from

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: Blake Groupie and playing in just his second game with

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: the Colts, Groupie nailed a career long and franchise long

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: sixty yard field goal that put the Colts up sixteen

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: to fifteen with only fifty two seconds to play. But

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: it proved to be too much time for the Seahawks,

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: as they had a decent return up to around the

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 4: thirty seven yard line, and then Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: connected on a sixteen yard pass to receiver Rashid Shahed,

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: who quickly moved the Seahawks into Colts territory. That was

61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 4: followed up by another eight yard completion to Shihed, which

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: moved Seattle into range for kicker Jason Myers, and Myers

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: would go on to connect his sixth and final field

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: goal of the game, a fifty six yarder with eighteen

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: seconds left. The Colts got the ball back with the

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: eleven seconds left at their own thirty yard line, but

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: Rivers was intercepted on a desperation pass downfield, so it

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 4: was another heartbreaking loss for the Colts. They're now three

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: to five and one score affairs this season. The Colts

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: defense played one of their best games of the year,

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: as they allowed just over three hundred yards of offense

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: to Seattle, and only fifty of that came on the ground.

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: Seattle was two for thirteen on third down zero for

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 4: two inside the red zone, but the Colts allowed too

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: many big plays in the passing game to Seattle, and

76
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: the Colts suffered a defeat despite the defense not allowing

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: a touchdown. On Sunday, as we all know by now again,

78
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers came out of retirement and started at quarterback

79
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: for the Colts and became the third oldest starting quarterback

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: NFL history. He also became just the fifth QB ever

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 4: to start a game at age forty four or older.

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: Joining Tom Brady, Steve de Bergh, Warren Moon, and Vinnie Testa.

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: Verdi Rivers finished his first game since the twenty twenty

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: season eighteen of twenty seven for one hundred and twenty

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: yards and a touchdown and an interception late and with

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: Rivers at the helm, the Colts game plan was to

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: pound the run and have Rivers attempt high completion throws,

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: which worked well in the first half. The Colts led

89
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: thirteen to six at halftime and possessed the ball for

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 4: over nineteen minutes in the first two quarters. The Colts

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: relied heavily on Jonathan Taylor. He rushed at twenty five

92
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 4: times for eighty seven yards, but the Colts had just

93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: five completions that gained over ten yards, and they racked

94
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: up just two hundred and fifteen yards of offense for

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: the game, and only sixty seven of that came in

96
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: the second half. In fact, the Colts output was their

97
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: lowest in a game since the twenty twenty two season,

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: and for Rivers, his one hundred and twenty passing yards

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: were his fewest in a game since the two thousand

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: seven season with the Chargers. So again, the Colts are

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: eight and six their slide continues, with both Houston and

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: Jacksonville surging. The Texans have won six straight. They're nine

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: to five. The Jaguars have won five in a row.

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: They're ten and four, and they lead the AFC South.

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: With only three games to play, and the Colts return

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: home in Week sixteen as the team prepares to play

107
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: in primetime for the first time this year. Monday Night

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: Football is coming up next against the forty nine Ers,

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: and the Colts will be playing on the Monday Night

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: stage for the first time since the twenty twenty two season.

111
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: All right again, reminder, Segment two is coming up on

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: the horizon. Then I'll be joined by Rick Vinterrey and

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: Joe Wrights will dive into what they saw in the

114
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: game film from yesterday. But now it's time for a

115
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 4: weekly conversation with Colts head coach Shane Steichen, who joins

116
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: us now in the radio studio and coach heartbreaking loss.

117
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: Do the Seattle Seahawks take us through the final four

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 4: minutes or so? The game saw three big leanch lead changes,

119
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: some clutch field goals by both teams. What was the

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: difference of the game of the game's final minutes.

121
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously in the final minutes there, you know, offense

122
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: getting the ball back and going down to kick that

123
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 5: field goal with you know, fifty seconds was huge. You know,

124
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 5: it would have been awesome if we would have got

125
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: one more first down there. They used all their timeouts,

126
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: so you got to a fourth and three, had to

127
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: make a decision there you go for it there or

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: you kick the long sixty yard field goal and obviously

129
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 5: kick the field goal to take the lead there. Yeah,

130
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 5: and then obviously just you know, at the end, just

131
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 5: didn't get the stop and you know, I thought, you know, overall,

132
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 5: our defense was phenomenal. They didn't score a touchdown all game.

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: Obviously they kicked you know, field goal there at the

134
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 5: end to win it. But again, you got to find

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: ways to win those games when they come down to

136
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 5: the wire like that, and that's what this league is,

137
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: and you gotta find ways to win it.

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just the the decision right there on third

139
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: down to run the ball. How much did that boil

140
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: down to your pregame confidence watching Blake Grouping knocked down

141
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: some very long field goals in Seattle.

142
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, a ton of confidence in him. You know, since

143
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: we signed him, he's been incredible in practice and then

144
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: obviously making the kicks like he did yesterday and you know,

145
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 5: you get a third and whatever it was there and

146
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: you know, we need an extra five yards at least,

147
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 5: you know, to get him into range there, and had

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: a pass called to check to a run there to

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: get us you know, in that you know area to

150
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: kick that field goal to take the lead there.

151
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: All right, before we go on any further discussion on injuries,

152
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: Bernard Ryman left the game early. How's he doing today

153
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: and what's the latest with him.

154
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 5: He's doing better, you know, dealing with an elbow right now,

155
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 5: and we'll see how the week progresses with him.

156
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: Luke Tanuda came in. I thought he did a pretty

157
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: good job. He was playing in his first game since

158
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty two season.

159
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, heck yeah. I think he's done a phenomenal job,

160
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: you know, during the week of practice, you know, preparing himself.

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 5: You know, there was obviously one play away and to

162
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 5: get in there and go battle and fight and scratching

163
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: call like he did. You know, credit to him for

164
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: coming in, you know, in that situation.

165
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: And then as relates to news, DeForest Buckner his practice

166
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: window was activated last week with a chance of coming

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: off of injured reserve. What what's the likelihood there this

168
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: week with him rejoining the team.

169
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 5: Ye, I'll say we're very hopeful for this week. I

170
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: know he's feeling really good. We'll see the week of

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: practice goes, but he's feeling really good.

172
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: And then lastly, you had a report today when you

173
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: talked with the local media you had an update on

174
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: where Anthony Richardson is as well.

175
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, cleared with an eye And obviously we're

176
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: just getting them back into the football you know, aspect

177
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 5: of it, running and lifting and all that stuff right now.

178
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: And so for the sake of this audience, does he

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: have a chance could he be in the mix of

180
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: being activated and playing on Monday night football?

181
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, those are conversations that will have myself and Chris.

182
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 5: Like I said, we're just getting them back activated in

183
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 5: the you know, really more football activity is as far

184
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 5: as running and throwing in weight room stuff.

185
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: All right, Philip Rivers, as we all know, comes out

186
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: of retirement, starts for the Colt Sun Sunday. There's a

187
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: lot to unpack there. But but when did you realize

188
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: during the week of practice that Philip Rivers. He's the

189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: guy that gives you the best chance to compete and

190
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: try to win that game in Seattle.

191
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: I think obviously the first practice he came in and

192
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 5: you know, obviously he knows the offense really well and

193
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 5: came in and had a hell of a week of

194
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: practice and I think, you know, Friday's practice and we're

195
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 5: in the red zone. The ball didn't hit the ground

196
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 5: all day, and so it felt really good about that

197
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: him going into the game. Obviously practices different than the game. Yeah,

198
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 5: but I thought he went in there after that first series.

199
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 5: Obviously some I'm sure some butterflies for him being back

200
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 5: out there, but he did a heck of a job.

201
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 5: And then he kind of even on the sidelines, you know,

202
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 5: walking up and down. I was like, oh, shoot, there

203
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: he is.

204
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: That's the guy.

205
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 5: That's the guy talking to everybody, talking the offensive line,

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: talking to the running backs, talking to receivers, you know,

207
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 5: firing up, watching the defense and stuff. And you know,

208
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: we hop right back into it.

209
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: You know, right there, that's where I want to pick up.

210
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: You know, how amazed are you with his ability? Like

211
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 4: you just said, it just hadn't played since what January ninth,

212
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one and then he just picks it back

213
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: up and goes Yeah.

214
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: I think it's it's a testament to him, his work ethic,

215
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 5: his love for the game, his passion for the game.

216
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, he football more than anybody I know.

217
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 5: And he's so smart. Like I said, he's one of

218
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: the smartest players slash coach I've ever been around. I've

219
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 5: learned a ton from him just being with him over

220
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: the years, how he sees it getting us in and

221
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 5: out of the right place. Checks. He made some big

222
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 5: time checks on Sunday too to pop some runs which

223
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 5: was huge and get us in out of the right

224
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 5: play And I think that's only going to grow and

225
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 5: get better. Obviously, it was week one. He had three

226
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 5: days of practice and went out there and played a

227
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: football game. So I think that was impressive as it

228
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: gets on its own.

229
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: Shane Stiking right there, This is Colts around Table Live.

230
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: So you know, the game plan featured a lot of

231
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: ground and pounds, some quick release throws. How much did

232
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: the guys, you know, the rest of the skill players

233
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 4: on offense, how much did they have to kind of

234
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: adapt to, you know, the new quarterback and the new

235
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: style of play. Considering Rivers a skill set. I know

236
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: it's just one game and it's going to be different

237
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: week to week, but how much did the guys have

238
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: to just kind of change the approach to the game

239
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 4: with Philip Rivers as their quarterback.

240
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 5: I think they were great with it all week, you know.

241
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 5: I made that clear and know in the meeting of

242
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: how the game was going to be played out on

243
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 5: offense and yeah, we're going to do it, and on

244
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: defense and stuff and run the ball, played great defense

245
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 5: and control the clock and as is going to be

246
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 5: an old school smash mouth football game. And that's what

247
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: it was, no doubt, and almost played it identical to

248
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: what we talked about all week, and obviously we just

249
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 5: felt short there at the end.

250
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: How'd you think he played?

251
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: I did it really good. I mean, for coming off

252
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: that's long a stretch. To go on there and do

253
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 5: what he did I thought was just tremendous. And for

254
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: him to throw that first touchdown pass and however many

255
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 5: days it was to see his excitement and his late

256
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 5: kick and that fist pump that he always does, it was.

257
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: It was awesome. It was awesome.

258
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 4: And again you talked about this with the media, earlier,

259
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: but he's your guy. He's the starting quarterback going into

260
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers.

261
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll be the starting quarterback for the Niners.

262
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: And again you said, just because the Cults relied on

263
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: the running game and the high completion percentage throws against Seattle,

264
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean you can't expect something different in these

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: last three games of the season.

266
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean that was, like I said, that

267
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 5: was the game plan going into Seattle. Obviously this game

268
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 5: plan will be different as we you know, build it

269
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: and put it together a right.

270
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: The defense, like you said, they just play their tails off.

271
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: Two for thirteen on third down were the Seahawks. They

272
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: were zero for two in the red zone, no touchdowns.

273
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: And you know the defense did it without some key players.

274
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: But how did you see the defense rally around each

275
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 4: other and play pretty well despite being down some key

276
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: leaders on that side.

277
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 5: And the ball, I mean, they did a phenomenal job

278
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 5: there flying around. I mean the run defense was awesome.

279
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 5: Three rushing yards in the first half. I think they

280
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: ended up with maybe fifty or fifty Yeah, yeah, fifty

281
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: total rushing yards. I mean, just you know, getting the sacks,

282
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: the TFLs, we got like you said the third down

283
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 5: stops only had two conversions or whatever it was. I mean,

284
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 5: they were, they were flying around. It was it was awesome.

285
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: You know.

286
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: It was a great crowd, great venue. I thought it

287
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: was the loudest game all year from my perspective, and

288
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: you played in some pretty loud venues. How proud were

289
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 4: you of the communication right, the execution on offense You

290
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: had very little you know, pre snap issues when you

291
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: had the ball.

292
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that part was huge. And you know,

293
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: we try to simulate that as best we can in

294
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: practice with the crowd noise, you know, in the indoor stuff. Yeah,

295
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: to try to get that. It's hard to replicate it

296
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 5: when you go to you know, that stadium up in Seattle,

297
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 5: because that is it's that in Kansas City is as

298
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: loud as it gets. And I thought our guys handled

299
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 5: that well from a communication standpoint, and Philip running up

300
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: to the line of scrimmage and screaming and yelling to

301
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 5: get everyone on the same page.

302
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: M M.

303
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: I thought it was good to see.

304
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a few questions from the fans

305
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: to close out. We always like to do this. Submit

306
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: your questions using hashtag Colts Round table for head coach

307
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: Shane Stike in right now. Andy's up first. We kind

308
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 4: of already talked about this a little bit. This kind

309
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: of goes back to the you know, the aesthetics of

310
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: the offense. But he's asking, coach, we've only had five

311
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: completions over ten yards on Sunday. Are you concerned that

312
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: Pittman and Pierce were not big parts of the offense

313
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: and can they be with Rivers at quarterback?

314
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 6: Yeah?

315
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 5: I think they definitely can be. You know, that was

316
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: the game plan going into the game plan. We're going

317
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: to take you know, our easy you know underneath completions

318
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: and run the football and try to control the you know,

319
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: time of possession. Was the game plan for that game.

320
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 4: All right, Jack is asking coach, what's making it tough

321
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: right now to get Jonathan Taylor going on? Then our

322
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: team's just selling out and cramming the box on us.

323
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, you know, we played some

324
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 5: good defenses, but we got to make sure we get

325
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 5: those creases going like we did before. You know what

326
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 5: I mean, we're one block away or one little thing here,

327
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: and those are the little things that you just got

328
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: to tighten up the little details. So we can pop

329
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 5: those twenty those thirty yard runs that JT's been hitting before.

330
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: All right, this is coming from Bobby. How much of

331
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: the terminology did Philip Rivers have to learn coming in

332
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: cold last week?

333
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: Not much. I mean he probably knew ninety eight percent

334
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: of it. There's just little nuances here and there. You

335
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: know that we've tweaked over the years from an alignments

336
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 5: or split sort of receiver telling the receiver this on

337
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: a certain play. But as far as the verbiage of

338
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: the runs and the past concepts, you know, he had

339
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: all that.

340
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 4: He's probably teaching it too. Out on the field, Grant

341
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: is asking coach, how is Daniel Jones feeling and what

342
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: is the likelihood of him being back on the field

343
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: next summer in time for training camp if we do

344
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: resign him. There's a lot of ifs.

345
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's doing really good. Definitely, I think training camp

346
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: is a realistic thing for sure. Obviously he's got a

347
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: mindset right now that he said I'll be ready for springball.

348
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: I said, oh, but really, but that's we'll see. I mean,

349
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: all these guys want to get back as early as

350
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: they can.

351
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

352
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: But you know, definitely for training camp. I think is realistic.

353
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: Okay, Chris is up next. He's asking what are the

354
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: spirits of the team after the fourth straight loss? How

355
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: do you keep the team together in unified this time

356
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 4: of year?

357
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, you know, I think our guys are

358
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 5: in great spirits. To be completely honest with you, that

359
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: was a tough loss, and we know we got a

360
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: hell of a challenge ahead of us. But we're not

361
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: out of this thing, and that's the beauty of it.

362
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 5: You got three guaranteed left, but you got to take

363
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: it one, one game at a time and control. We control,

364
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 5: and we got another opportunity to you know, be back

365
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: at home on Monday night football and a great environment

366
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 5: in front of our home fans. So we're excited for

367
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: that challenge and I know our guys will be ready

368
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: to go.

369
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: All right.

370
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 4: Forty nine ers are up next. Before we talk about them, though,

371
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: let's talk about just the fact that it's Monday night

372
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: football here. How does playing on Monday night change your

373
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: schedule and your process of pre operation.

374
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: Obviously, we'll have the extra day, so it'll give us

375
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: an extra day to prepare there, which will be good,

376
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: and it'll give some guys some more rest timed, you know,

377
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 5: to let their bodies heal a little bit after these games.

378
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 5: But our preparation will stay consistent, but we'll just have

379
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: everything pushed back a little bit more, obviously with an

380
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: extra day there, so we'll be consistent with that.

381
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: Do you like being on Monday night? Some coaches really

382
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 4: like it because of the stage. Other coaches hate it

383
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: because it's excruciating to wait that long and then it's

384
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: one less day to get ready for the other's plus

385
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,479
Speaker 4: and minuses for it. Obviously, you love playing on primetime

386
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 4: and then you get the extra day. You get an

387
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: extra day really a rest for the players and an

388
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: extra day prepare.

389
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: But then I'll flip side. You got to flip around,

390
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 5: and it's a short week that next week. So there's

391
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: plus and minuses to it. And that's part of the

392
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: National Football League and whatever schedule they give us, we

393
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 5: sign up and playing.

394
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: We're ready to go, all right. The forty nine Ers

395
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: are ten and four. It's another team from the NFC West,

396
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: which is just loaded. I think there's three teams from

397
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: that division right now that have at least ten wins,

398
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: and they've won four in a row. Brock Perties back

399
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: in the lineup. He's looking good. They've won last four starts.

400
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: You know, Kyle Shanahan pretty well. What's in your notebook

401
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: on the forty nine ers going into week sixteen.

402
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 5: I think they do a hell of a job running

403
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: the football with their scheme, and I think they do

404
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 5: some good stuff with the run, actions off hit keeping defense,

405
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 5: you know, on their toes a little bit. I think

406
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 5: they're often humming pretty good. And I think Sala and

407
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: obviously Gus now being over there in San Francisco as well,

408
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: I think their defense does a good job flying around

409
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 5: to the ball as well. So we're excited for that challenge.

410
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: Like said, they're playing good football, but to be home

411
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 5: on Monday night against some you know, we're looking forward

412
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 5: to that.

413
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: Oh question, should be fun. That's head coach Shane Stiking

414
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: with US Colts Round Table Live. Coach, always appreciate the

415

Speaker 4: and we'll talk to you following primetime.

417
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,600

Speaker 4: of affairs with the Colts and Joe, good to be

455
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 4: with you. What's the latest with the rights household here

456
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 4: in mid December.

457
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, you're ten days from Christmas, Matt, you know how

458
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: that goes. So we're full steam ahead. And uh, as

459
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: we sit here Monday night, we're in a heat wave.

460
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: It's like twenty degrees outside. So how about that after

461
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: the uh we had the Arctic tempts for sure, got

462
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: the boys out shoveling the driveway on Saturday work. Yeah,

463
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: and it just got colder and colder from there, no.

464
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 4: Question about it. So what's the wrapping paper situation at

465
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 4: the Rights household right now? I mean what we have

466
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: a whole room dedicated to wrapping presence.

467
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot so elves are hard at work

468
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: right now. But obviously it's it's such a fun time

469
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,200

Speaker 3: right but when you got young kids and just the

471
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: excitement that they have, it's, yeah, it's so fun. So

472
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna be uh be a next fun ten days

473
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: and uh yeah some early mornings coming down the pipe

Speaker 3: next Thursday on Christmas Day.

475
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 4: For sure, Rick vent Tery, you remember those days. But

476
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 4: how you holding up after another tough loss for the Colts?

477
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's our you know, just a just a real heartbreaker,

478
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 6: you know, you know, after the week and everything that

479
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 6: we went through and just to be forty seven seconds

480
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 6: you know, away from it after a sixty yard field

481
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: goal is it's almost unbelievable. To tell you the truth,

482
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 6: no question about it.

483
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: The Colts were right there. Yeah, I was with everybody else.

484
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: I mean I think I blacked out after that sixty

485
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: yard field goal by Blake Groupie. You know, the excitement

486
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: was there with the Colts being what ten plus point

487
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: underdogs on the road, Philip Rivers coming out of retirement

488
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 4: and he's just felt like a Disney movie. But unfortunately

489
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: it was not meant to be. So we got a

490
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: busy show the rest of the way tonight. Coming up

491
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: in segment three, we're gonna roll into a segment called

492
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: three and three right the top three things that need

493
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 4: to be addressed and touched in the final three games

494
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 4: of the season for the Colts, And then coming up

495
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: in segment four, we're taking your social media questions as

496
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: we always do. It's a staple on the mailbag segment.

497
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 4: Get those questions in tonight for Rick and Joe, hashtag

498
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: Colts round tables the best way to reach us on

499
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: X the same method you used in the earlier segment

500
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 4: with Colts head coach Shane Stichen, But on this segment

501
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: we let Rick and Joe comment on their initial reactions

502
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 4: from the game. They've poured over the game film. We

503
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: call it the tail the tape.

504
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: Raising hell today.

505
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: Okay to go fill out. Bang bang player, bang bang.

506
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: Keep the hammer down, keep talking to one another minute,

507
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: clean it up.

508
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: That's all.

509
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: Get ready, get righty, all right, it's tail to tape time.

510
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: The Colts are now eight and six, still in eighth

511
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: place in the AFC standings, a game out of the

512
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 4: last wildcard spot, which is currently being held by the

513
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 4: nine to five Texans, who keep on winning. They won

514
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: again on Sunday, so the Colts have dropped four in

515
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: a row, five of their last six. Sunday was an

516
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: absolute heartbreaker. It looked like the Colts were on the

517
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: verge of a huge upset and maybe the loudest venue

518
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 4: in the NFL, but the Seahawks kicked the game winner

519
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: with less than twenty seconds left. The Colts come up

520
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: short despite the defense giving up only two third down conversions,

521
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: no touchdowns the entire game. Just a heartbreaking, heartbreaking loss

522
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: for the Colts. As we said, so, Rick, I'm going

523
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: to open up the discussion to you. First, what do

524
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 4: you have for us on your tail the tape? What

525
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: do you have on your notebook and your review of

526
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 4: the game.

527
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: Film.

528
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know you're using the term for me. It

529
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: was just heartbreaking, you know, to see the clock strike midnight,

530
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: you know on what was the Cinderella effort, if there

531
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 6: ever was one. I thought, you know, the front office

532
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 6: and the coaching staff, you know, despite outside criticism and noise,

533
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 6: had just an excellent plan to try to get things

534
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: turn around. And I thought our players played nobly. They

535
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: really did. You know. We brought in Philip really to

536
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 6: stop the bleeding, both emotionally and to give us a

537
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 6: guy that would really manage the game with experience. You know,

538
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: we were going to run the rock, we were going

539
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 6: to throw short you know, quick rhythm passing, dominate time

540
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 6: of possession, which we did until really the fourth quarter,

541
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 6: you know, played great defense and kick to win. Now,

542
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 6: we did all of it, We did absolutely all of it.

543
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 6: But we left forty seven seconds and no timeouts, you know,

544
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 6: left on the clock, and despite that terrific defensive performance,

545
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 6: we just couldn't finish it in that last forty seconds

546
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 6: forty seven seconds. I was really proud of the totality

547
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 6: of the effort, you know, the defensive the d rose

548
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 6: to the occasion no touchdowns, that's a feed in this league.

549
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 6: Two great red zone stops two of thirteen on third down.

550
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 6: You know, I thought that was outstanding. I thought JT

551
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: just battled his tail off. I mean it was eighty

552
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 6: seven yards, but you know from the beginning, he's just

553
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 6: grinding a way to get that eighty seven you know,

554
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 6: versus loaded box and fast spinning safeties, you know. And

555
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 6: I thought our defensive line, you know that really our

556
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: offensive line that was depleted as the game went on,

557
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 6: just competed all day. Pierce's fifty to fifty ball catch

558
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter was a tremendous catch and really

559
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 6: gave us a pathway to win. You know, you know,

560
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: the river story, you know, despite the effort, is outstanding.

561
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 6: But really and truly in the last five losses, you know,

562
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 6: which have all come here in the second half of

563
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: the season, I mean, really, the big issue is we've

564
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 6: never found a way, you know, a way to get

565
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 6: over twenty points. And you know, when you really look

566
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 6: at playoff football, playoff football teams, it really begins at

567
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: twenty four. And you know, we were a team that

568
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 6: in that first eight weeks, thirty was our standard. You know,

569
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 6: So I think when you really look at it, with

570
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 6: three games to go, and you're really fighting four quarters

571
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: for your life. It's not even thirty, it's one. I mean,

572
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 6: I think the two things that we have to do

573
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 6: is the coach will have to find a way to

574
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 6: get there, to get back to get points on the

575
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 6: board one way or another. And I think despite you know,

576
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: when our defense plays good, it just has to learn

577
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 6: how to finish and when it all comes down to it,

578
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 6: you know, really the seasons on the line. Monday night.

579
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: What a great venue to have the season on the line,

580
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: and a team really, frankly that we can absolutely beat.

581
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: I think of the final four, I think the Niners

582
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 6: are the most the most beatable, to be honest with you.

583
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 6: We'll get into that as we go tonight. But again,

584
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 6: find a way to score points more, you know, and

585
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 6: then find a way to just finish that game on

586
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 6: defense that last minute.

587
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and coach summed up a lot of my thoughts

588
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: right there. But you can tell overall the team played

589
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: inspired and there's a lot of things that go into

590
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: doing that your backs against the wall. But I do

591
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: think that Philip Rivers brought a lot of that too.

592
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: Right when you're bringing a Hall of Famer out to

593
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 3: play with you and the storylines that they're I mean,

594
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: everybody was playing like their hair was on fire, and

595
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 3: it was great to see, especially just the tremendous effort,

596
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: you know, defensively in the first half. Coach mentioned it, Yeah,

597
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: hold a team to no touchdowns in the NFL is

598
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: really impressive. And you know, for me, I just felt

599
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: like we had to keep getting points, keep getting points.

600
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: And I'm with you, Matt. I blacked out on that

601
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: sixty yard field goal, and I thought, hey, this is it,

602
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 3: and the storyline is setting up. But you know, two plays.

603
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: You know, we gave up the big return, which not

604
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people are talking about, but they start

605
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: that on that thirty seven. Now you only need about

606
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: twenty yards, and then Shahid goes deep, you know, finds

607
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: an area in that zone on the first catch, and

608
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: then they run the little out route. And again, give

609
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: Seattle credit because you know, their kicker made some fifty

610
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: six yarder walk off and you got to give credit

611
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 3: where credit's due. I thought, for me, the two biggest

612
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: plays in the game. We're in that third quarter when

613
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: we have the lead but we're battling. They pick up

614
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: that fourth and four where we had a chance. On

615
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: their first drive they go down and kick three, but

616
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: we had a chance to get some really good field position.

617
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: And then that third down from downs I watched it

618
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: about four times right where the ball was out there

619
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: and he was wide open. It just was there at

620
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: tick before he thought it. You know, that would have

621
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: been points. Those were two plays right there that points

622
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: for Seattle points against Indianapolis, and this was a game

623
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: where points were certainly at a premium. But you know,

624
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: I agree with coach. You know, we have the four

625
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: losses here. It hasn't been twenty points has been our

626
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 3: high mark right in overtime against Case and then against Pittsburgh.

627
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: And we've been in the team since and you know,

628
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: fourth quarter offense being able to go down there and

629
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: score seven or score three when you really need it.

630
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: We just have not been able to do that. I

631
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of factors that go in to

632
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: where that is. I think Seattle continue to play more aggressive,

633
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 3: more close to the line as the game went on.

634
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: You know, I thought we had a good game playing

635
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: in terms of getting the ball out quick and a

636
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: lot of screens, but you know, they started sitting on

637
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: those screens you know, I'm thinking about that third and

638
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: five play, you know in the second half when when

639
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: they were sitting on it and we lost some yards

640
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: and then had to go punt the football. But yeah,

641
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: from the offensive line perspective, without your two tackles right there,

642
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: I thought those young guys, you know, Tanuda and Travis

643
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 3: battled really hard. I like the diversity in our run game.

644
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 3: You know, we were running gap schemes, we were running whams,

645
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: we were split in the field with zone and the

646
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: tight end coming back to cut it off. And I

647
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: know Taylor's long run was eleven, but there were a

648
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: lot of tough yards in there. For me, it's how

649
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: can we get those explosive plays. And I think about

650
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: this from the top down. Ye you know Seattle, you know,

651
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: thirty nine yard pass, twenty seven yard pass. They just

652
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 3: had more explosives than us. And again, you know, if

653
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: you're going with rivers and you know, maybe you're not

654
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: pushing the ball down the field as much. But we

655
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: gotta find ways to either break a big one in

656
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: the run game or the pass game, because when you

657
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: got to chunk it down the field, you don't go

658
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: the long hard way. It just makes it tougher to

659
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: get those sevens on the board than the three. So

660
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: it was heartbreaking, heart wrenching. This is one for me, Matt,

661
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: as a fan. It's gonna be tougher to go for

662
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: the twenty four hour rule and flush it, so to speak,

663
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: especially when you think about the boost that would have

664
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: given the team. But you got to find a way

665
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: to get off the mat. The season's not over, the

666
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: season's not dead, but you're gonna have to be close

667
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: to perfect on the way out in terms of sweeping

668
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: these last three games to get in the tournament. And

669
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: you get an extra day rest here, you get to

670
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: play a home game in front of your fans on

671
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: primetime Football Monday night, and so it's still out there

672
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: for the but it's gonna take a tremendous effort because

673
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: sure you're gonna have to string three in a row

674
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: now here to finish the season.

675
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, all great points right there. Margin of air is

676
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: certainly razor thin, but the math says it's still a possibility,

677
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: and we'll see what happens on Monday Night Football as

678
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: we progress here towards Week sixteen. That's the tale of

679
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: the tape with Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights their reactions

680
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: from watching the game film from Sunday's gut wrenching. That's

681
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: a great word you used, Joe Wrights. The loss of

682
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: the Seahawks that sings the Colts now to eight and

683
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: six on the season and still outside of the playoff

684
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 4: picture in the AFC. Tonight's show brought to you by

Speaker 4: remaining in the regular season. What are the top three

690
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: most concerning things that need addressing for the Colts or

691
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: buy the Colts in this case, try to get back

692
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,640

709
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts. As we return, I'm Matt Taylor, joined still

710
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 4: by Rick Van Turrey and Joe Wrights. On the last segment,

711
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 4: we looked at the film Tale of the Tape. Now

712
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 4: it's time for a segment called three and three. There

713
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: are three games remaining in the regular season. What are

714
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 4: the top three biggest areas that are holding the team

715
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 4: back and what are the areas that need the most

716
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: addressing with the Colts holding out hope trying to make

717
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: the postseason. So let's start first with big plays allowed

718
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: on defense and Rick vent Turrey, this is very much

719
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: your forte. So I'm gonna start with you. So the

720
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: Colts lose a game where the defense played all things

721
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: considered maybe one of their best games of the season.

722
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: They held the Seahawks to just six field goals. They

723
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: barely had over three hundred yards of offense, a me

724
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: easily two point three yards per carry. But despite the

725
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: good rushing defense and those situational stops, the Colts are

726
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 4: still giving up too many big plays in the passing game.

727
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 4: That was evident on Sunday as Seattle got into scoring

728
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: threats because of the big plays. So during the four

729
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: game losing skid, the totality is this, the Colts have

730
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 4: allowed twenty nine completions of at least fifteen yards, including

731
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: seven that came yesterday. In fact, the Colts allowed three

732
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: completions of at least twenty seven to the Seahawks. We're

733
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: one of the best chunk, big play passing teams in

734
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: the NFL. So again, I know, Rick, the Colts were

735
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: down their top two corners yesterday, no Sauce Gardner, no

736
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 4: Tarvarius Ward. But how do the Colts address their big

737
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: play propensity on defense in the final three games of

738
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: the season to give themselves a better chance of making

739
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: the playoffs?

740
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're exactly right. The big plays have really mounted

741
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 6: up and it's caused all this volume. We're now down

742
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 6: to thirty first in pass defense and you just can't

743
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 6: live there in the National Football League if you're gonna win.

744
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 6: I think the thing that has hurt us the most

745
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 6: is there's just been no continuity, you know, particularly at

746
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 6: the corner position. We did back and forth, back and forth.

747
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 6: This week we went back with Edwards at the corner

748
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 6: and you know, no disrespect to him, I thought that

749
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 6: he and Blackman really competed out there, but they are

750
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 6: what they are. I think because of it, we've gotten,

751
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 6: you know, very predictable. Now in the back end, we're

752
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 6: either Manda man or we're area zone and nothing in between.

753
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 6: I think what which makes it very very easy to attack.

754
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 6: Teams are running a lot of what we call runaway

755
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 6: or crossing or deep sevens on that man demand coverage,

756
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 6: which is very hard to stay with our area zones'

757
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 6: they're like Swiss cheese. There's just a million spots in

758
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 6: there to throw the ball. And we honestly, and I

759
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 6: think this is obviously because of continuity, and maybe it's

760
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 6: too complex to get in, but we we have not

761
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 6: had specialized coverages for top guys Rice beat Us, Thomas

762
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 6: beat Us, Collins beat Us, and even yesterday Smith and

763
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 6: Jigmus started off bad, but by the end of the

764
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 6: day him and Shaheed had about two hundred yards, so,

765
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 6: you know, and it's just too many guys running free.

766
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 6: And obviously we're also not getting any first wave pass rush.

767
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: I think we've had two sacks in three weeks and

768
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 6: we're not getting that first wave where you're up in

769
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 6: there and you're forcing that quarterback out of there right

770
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 6: off the bat. So you know, hopefully, you know, we

771
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 6: can get some guys back. We could settle on at

772
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: least the last three weeks. But I think we've got

773
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 6: to play a lot more what I call in between coverages.

774
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 6: If you're going to have to play zone because of

775
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 6: your corners, I think we got to do a much

776
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 6: better job of matching coverage, figuring out where we want

777
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 6: to roll, play some combination man zone in there, I think,

778
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 6: and even now when we're blitzing, and I think Lou

779
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 6: does a really good job of giving you all kinds

780
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 6: of pressures and bales, but we're always playing zone behind

781
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: it unless it's a zero and so you know, basically

782
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 6: teams know they're gonna have holes, and then it just

783
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 6: seems like in the before the half and in before

784
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 6: at the end of the game, we tend to soften

785
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 6: up at corner and give a lot underneath us. So,

786
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 6: you know, I think there's a lot of things we

787
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 6: can do, but you know, it starts with getting some

788
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 6: continuity back there.

789
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with everything that you said there, Coach.

790
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 3: I think for me, the two things I would look

791
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 3: at from the pass rush up front, especially when we're

792
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: just rushing for now, we got some pressure in there,

793
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: and we did some things you know a lot too.

794
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: Had the sack when he was one on one with

795
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: the back when we brought pressure and they had to

796
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: slide the line. But when we're just rushing for especially

797
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: on third down when it's a money down, fourth quarter,

798
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: you know, we got to find a way to get

799
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 3: pressure there, you know, and be able to try to

800
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 3: close the game, you know, sack, get the ball out.

801
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: So one pass rush then two for me would be turnovers.

802
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: You know, we got one turnover created in the last

803
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: two weeks, and just for a defense with some guys

804
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 3: that are banged up and wards out and Mooney's out

805
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 3: in your top two corners, and I know the stress

806
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: that puts on some of these younger guys, But we

807
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: gotta find a way to either get a strip sack

808
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: on the rush, punch the ball out, or get some

809
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: sort of strip in the run game and get our

810
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: team the football back. You know, no did that against Jacksonville.

811
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 3: Or find a way to get our hands on the

812
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: ball down in the secondary. We are just gonna have

813
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: to have turnovers coming down the stretch. Yeah, you know,

814
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: by any means possible.

815
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 4: Great stuff so far, Rick vent Terry and Joe Wright's

816
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 4: right there. I'm Matt Taylor. This is Colts Round Table Live.

817
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 4: This segment is called Top three and three. Three games left,

818
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 4: the three biggest issues for the Colts that was issued

819
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: number one. This is number two. Let's talk about the

820
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 4: no big gashes for Jonathan Taylor lately and Sunday. You know,

821
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor rightfully so a huge focus of the Colts

822
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 4: offensive game plan. Eighty seven yards, but it took him

823
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 4: twenty five carries to get there on the ground and

824
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 4: in the last four games all losses for the Colts,

825
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 4: Taylor's been held to under one hundred yards. And all

826
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 4: four of them, and he's averaging just three point six

827
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 4: yards per carry in that span. Also, during the time,

828
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 4: Taylor only has one run over twenty yards. So the

829
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: fact that Taylor hasn't been able to rip off quote

830
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 4: unquote the big one lately, Joe, it's becoming concerning considering

831
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: how prevalent those runs were in the first two months

832
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 4: of the season for the Colts on offense. So again,

833
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 4: I know the Colts were down their top two tackles

834
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 4: for most of the game yesterday, But how do the

835
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 4: Colts get Taylor back to the Jonathan Taylor that we

836
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: knew in September, in October or just for you know,

837
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 4: discussion purposes, Devil's advocate, Joe, is it just not possible

838
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: now for Jonathan Taylor to be that guy considering what

839
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 4: the offense looks like right now and who the quarterback

840
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: is right now heading into the last three games of

841
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: the season.

842
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly possible, Matt, but it's harder to your point,

843
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: your two tackles are out, you know, you got a

844
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: quarterback change in there. The two things for me early

845
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 3: in the season, right when you think about through the

846
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: first ten games, what were we doing we were gashing

847
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: people in the pass game. We were throwing the ball

848
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: all over the yard and it was thrown a score

849
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: and run to win. And when did Jonathan Taylor's big

850
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 3: runs happen? In the third quarter of the fourth quarter,

851
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: when you pounded them, you pounded them. You got to lead.

852
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 3: They're worried about the pass game going over the top,

853
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: and then he'd rip off a big run. And I

854
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: think the last four games, I think the two biggest

855
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: factors have been won. You know, Jones's injury right, not

856
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 3: being as mobile in the pocket, because think if the

857
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: other team knows that your quarterback isn't a threat, that

858
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 3: takes one defender off the field. And early in the season,

859
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, Danny was making a bunch of plays with

860
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: his legs. You can run all the RPO stuff, you

861
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: can fake the zone read.

862
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 5: You know.

863
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 3: Now you know, with him being you know a little

864
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: bit more hobbled, that's not as much as the threat.

865
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 3: And then you know, yesterday obviously Rivers, you know who

866
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: battled incredibly, but you know he's not a threat to

867
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: run the ball. So that just allows the defense to

868
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: attack with a little different style. You know, bring an

869
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: extra safety down in the box trigger a little bit

870
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: harder maybe for those linebackers because you know, you're not

871
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: worried about right there. So those are the two biggest

872
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 3: factors to me. And then I think the other one

873
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: is we've been playing and behind right and for a

874
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 3: lot of these games. When you're playing ahead and you're

875
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: up seven, you're up ten, you know, then you can

876
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: dictate what you're doing running the ball. When you're behind,

877
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 3: you're a little bit more predictable in terms of the

878
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: defense knows that you got to throw it on third down.

879
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 3: You know, they know that. You know, you just don't

880
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: have that luxury so to speak, of being able to

881
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 3: run the football whenever you want. And running the ball,

882
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: you know, obviously is going to wear those teams down

883
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 3: in the fourth, third and fourth quarter. So it certainly

884
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: is not impossible to get them back to doing that.

885
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 3: But you know, I'd be lying if I'd say it's

886
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: not going to be tougher just giving the circumstances.

887
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, this game is about balance. Really. I've

888
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 6: always said, you know, what is the hardest thing to defend?

889
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 6: People would ask me that as a coordinator, and I

890
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 6: would always say, run past balance, because you know, it

891
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 6: keeps me off balance. I can't necessarily dial up an

892
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 6: eight man front every down, or I can't dial up

893
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: a blitz every down and Joe Joe Chronicle dot it best.

894
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 6: In the first eight games, basically we were doing a

895
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 6: great job of opening the game wide open, wide open,

896
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 6: moving Danny around, throwing the ball downfield, throwing the ball outside,

897
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 6: throwing the ball vertical. And basically what that does is

898
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 6: that stretches that back in. That back end now has

899
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 6: to play deeper, They have to play wider. You know,

900
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 6: even your underneath guys have to step back out a

901
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 6: step and that makes a big difference. And then what

902
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 6: was happening was in the second half, you know, we

903
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 6: you know, that's when that's when we're getting all the

904
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 6: gashes and the long runs. And when the passing game

905
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 6: starts to go away. What happens, and you don't even

906
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 6: have to coach it on defense, it just happens, is

907
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 6: that secondary starts closing in. They just get tighter, they squat,

908
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 6: they play tight. You know, in the last two weeks

909
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 6: were thrown for one hundred and ninety and one hundred

910
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 6: and eighteen. And after looking at us last week, I mean,

911
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 6: when you know, you can't throw the ball deep, you're

912
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 6: gonna squat, and so what happens is your safeties, even

913
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 6: if you're not playing an eight man front, if you're

914
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 6: playing an eight man front press, you just have numbers

915
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 6: up there. And we're getting a ton of that, and

916
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 6: we'll get a ton of that from San Francisco because

917
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 6: they're a Hawk three basic team to start with. But

918
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 6: even when they're playing to cover four, those safeties are

919
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 6: getting tighter and tighter, so they're spinning down quickly. You know,

920
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 6: to be that to become the eighth guy, even though

921
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 6: it starts as a seventh man front. Plus the reason

922
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 6: he's not getting the breakouts is the closer the secondary

923
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 6: is to the line of scrimmage to the linebackers, and

924
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 6: the levels merge with one another. Even if he breaks

925
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 6: the first level, there's a lot of people around him

926
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 6: to stop him. I thought he ran his tail off,

927
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 6: and I'm with Joe. I thought Tony did a great

928
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 6: job of scheming. I mean, we did everything possible in

929
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 6: terms of number of the carries schematically to get them going.

930
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 6: But if you can't throw the football, and now they're

931
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 6: gonna look at you and even have another look at

932
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 6: you when we get ready to play San Francisco. So

933
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 6: it all goes hand in hand, but you've got to

934
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 6: be able to throw the ball in the NFL to run.

935
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 4: It three and three here with Rick Van Turrey and

936
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 4: Joe Wrights, I'm Matt Taylor on Colts Roundtable Live Tonight.

937
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 4: Ninety three to five and one oh seven to five

938
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 4: of the fan. Those are the first two. Rick Van Turrey,

939
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 4: stay right there because the third one is just flat

940
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 4: out not being able to deliver in close games. Sunday's

941
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 4: game heartbreaking considering how hard the team fought and how

942
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 4: much they needed that win. But again, the Colts are

943
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: now three and five and one score games. They've lost

944
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 4: four of their last five one score affairs this season,

945
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: and the NFL is all about parody, man, They all

946
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 4: come down to the wire. That's evidence of the fact

947
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: that five of the last six games for the Colts

948
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 4: have been decided by seven points or fewer. And I

949
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 4: get it right, every game is its own story, it's

950
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 4: its own capsule. But what are the main areas holding

951
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 4: the Colts back and crunch time lately? And how much

952
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 4: has that been a theme this season, especially in the

953
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 4: last six weeks since this current slide started.

954
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, in my opinion, there's no question

955
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 6: about it. The three most important things you know, to

956
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 6: me when I look at a team is points giving up,

957
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 6: how you play in the red zone, and then I

958
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 6: always have put a great emphasis, more than most people

959
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 6: on fourth quarter defense because I'm with you, this league

960
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 6: is about the last four minutes, the last six minutes.

961
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 6: It is a parody league, and you're going to have

962
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 6: to win. And we lost another fourth quarter nine to three.

963
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 6: You know, we can talk about all the good things

964
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 6: we did, but at the end of the day, we

965
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 6: lost that nine to three in that fourth quarter. I

966
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 6: do think and I think this is a trend and

967
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 6: I've made note of it. I think we've struggled on

968
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 6: the last series, the last minute of the first half,

969
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 6: and I think we struggled on the last minute of

970
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: the game. I think we tend to play that zone

971
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 6: softer at the corner in that situation, and even though

972
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 6: Lou brought people in that end of the game, it

973
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 6: was still mostly zoned behind it. They were able to

974
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 6: get shahed the key completions underneath that they needed. And

975
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 6: what it really comes down to and Joe said a

976
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 6: little bit earlier. This is where you have to have

977
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 6: the four man rush. You can't necessarily blitz to win here.

978
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 6: You have to have a four man first level, first

979
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 6: wave rush, and then you've got to be able to

980
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 6: play some choke off coverage just because the way the

981
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 6: kickers are today. You know, in my day, you could

982
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 6: protect that field a little bit longer, but nowadays a

983
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 6: fifty seven sixty is just part of the game. So

984
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 6: for the most part, even you know, Shahed returned the

985
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 6: ball to the thirty six, but you know that means

986
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 6: you're really only about two and a half completions away

987
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 6: from a field goal. So I think you have to

988
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 6: be much more aggressive in that last minute. Today it's

989
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 6: almost it's almost like you have to play red zone

990
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 6: defense from the time they get that ball in that

991
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 6: last minute.

992
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, I think that's such a great point. With

993
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: the kickoff rules and even a touchback starting on the

994
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 3: thirty five. I mean, how many games you watch the

995
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: NFL that there's twenty seconds left, thirty seconds left, and

996
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 3: teams going down they're kicking a field goal. You know.

997
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: For me, Matt, I think I'll go just a little

998
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: bit more high level I just think you got to

999
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 3: re you got to rejuvenate the confidence that everybody has.

1000
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: And you know, when I think about that, you know, Okay,

1001
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 3: it's the end of the game, it's the fourth quarter,

1002
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: you know, it's winning time. I mean, this is a

1003
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: team that's very capable of doing that. But you know,

1004
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: sometimes winning begets winning and losing begets losing. And you know,

1005
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 3: I've always been a big believer in as an individual

1006
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 3: and still in confidence backing yourself when I was struggling,

1007
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 3: you know, individually as a player. You know what would

1008
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 3: I do. I wouldn't necessarily harp on the negative. I'd

1009
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: go back and watch the positive. You know, positive plays,

1010
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 3: positive games, positive drives finishing, you know, and know that, hey,

1011
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 3: we've been there before. We can do this. We just

1012
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: got to kind of get out of this funk. And

1013
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: it's that belief, and that's confidence. And confidence is a

1014
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: tough thing, right. I think I had a coach tell

1015
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: me once, and I believe it. When you have confidence,

1016
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: you never think you'll lose it. Yeah, And when you

1017
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 3: don't have confidence, you'll never think you get it back, right,

1018
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: And so how do you instill confidence to yourself when

1019
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: you're struggling. One, you go back to work and you work,

1020
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: and you work a little bit harder this week than

1021
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: maybe you did the weeks before. That helps. But then two,

1022
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: I'm a big believer in the visualization part of things,

1023
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: watching yourself on film doing some really good things. And

1024
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: this team has put a lot of really good things

1025
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: on tape throughout this season, and so kind of remembering

1026
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 3: that in the back of your mind, but actually seeing

1027
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 3: it visually yourself making those plays to win the game.

1028
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: Because Coach mentioned a bottom line, it's really been about

1029
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 3: fourth quarter scoring here for the most part over this

1030
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: last month or so, and we're just getting outscored and

1031
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,959
Speaker 3: outplayed in the fourth quarter when it's winning time.

1032
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: All Right, Those are the three and three the three

1033
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 4: biggest areas of concern for the Colts with three games

1034

Speaker 4: with the hashtag Colts Roundtable, and we got time for

1061
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 4: a couple of them here. Randy is up first. I

1062
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 4: was asking, hey, Rick Laatu Latu three tackles for loss

1063
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 4: and a sack on Sunday? Is this a sign of

1064
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 4: him beginning to break out late in his second season?

1065
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 6: You know, it's really amazing to me Latu. Is it's

1066
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 6: appropriate that it's Christmas time? He's kind of a box

1067
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 6: of assorted chocolates. I mean, you never know what you're

1068
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 6: gonna get. Three weeks ago we thought the same thing,

1069
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 6: and then he went silent, and then he had a

1070
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 6: hell of a game yesterday. What I know about Latu

1071
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 6: is he's an open air player. He's an off the

1072
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 6: edge Joe mentioned before we blitzed the other side. He

1073
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 6: ended up with a back ran right by Charbonet for

1074
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 6: the sacks. Made a couple of plays in space. The

1075
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 6: more that he's in space, the more plays he's gonna

1076
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 6: make when he's in the briar patch or have to

1077
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 6: play with a lot of power, not so much. So again,

1078
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 6: I'm not sure that he's there, because you never know

1079
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 6: what you're gonna get.

1080
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 4: Oh good Forrest Gump reference right there. Eric fin Terry

1081
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 4: all right, landing is up next. Hey Joe, where did

1082
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 4: Rivers surprise you? And where did he show the most

1083
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 4: russ not playing in four and a half years.

1084
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, one just to come out and not

1085
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 3: play a game in five years and to get through

1086
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 3: a whole NFL game as impressive in itself, that's for sure.

1087
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 3: I thought, obviously he knew, you know, everything that was

1088
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 3: going on. It was seamless, you know, running the offense.

1089
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 3: Where I really thought he was good was third down,

1090
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 3: you know, especially early in the game. I know we

1091
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 3: finished five to thirteen, but his pass interference in there,

1092
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 3: and we were pretty efficient on third down, but he

1093
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: got us in third and four, third and five. The

1094
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 3: ball was out quick. I liked how we got the

1095
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 3: screen game back. I thought maybe we did a little

1096
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 3: too much at the end of the game. But obviously

1097
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: the ball was there on time. It was accurate, and

1098
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: he was spreading the ball around and so in terms

1099
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 3: of rust, I just think the timing with the receivers,

1100
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 3: him throwing the ball moving around in the pocket, and

1101
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 3: I thought it was clean. I mean, there was one

1102
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 3: sack that you know where he kind of slipped for

1103
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: two yards, and so he's not going to stand back there,

1104
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 3: He's going to get the ball out where it needs

1105
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 3: to be. He's going to protect the line. You know,

1106
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: somebody gets beat and so I think it was let

1107
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: me tell you this, to finish it. He impressed me

1108
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 3: more than I thought he would, just in how he

1109
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 3: commanded the game overall, and I thought the biggest thing

1110
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 3: the team played inspired I think because of him, because

1111
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: of kind of the juice he brought. Now, the first

1112
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 3: game's there, you know, that's kind of worn off, so

1113
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: it'll be different and it remains to be seeing how

1114
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 3: we go Monday night. Can we play with the same

1115
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: type of energy you know that we had at the

1116
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 3: beginning of the game. We're going to need that for sure.

1117
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 4: All Right, that's the mailbag segment tonight with the submissions

1118
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,000

1120
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 4: in terms of time. The Colts did score one touchdown yesterday.

1121
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 4: That means you can grab a free ten piece of

1122

Speaker 4: McNuggets for the upcoming week with a two dollars minimum purchase.

00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 4: take on the San Francisco forty nine ers at Lucas

1147
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 4: Oil Stadium Monday Night Football and Joe Wrights, You've been

1148
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 4: involved in a lot of gritty wins, some tough losses.

1149
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 4: Tell me, how are the guys feeling a day after

1150
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 4: that gut wrenching loss. How tough is it for them

1151
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 4: to rally together three games to play? The season has

1152
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 4: definitely taken a hard left turn after more than a

1153
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 4: promising seven to one start. So just tell me about,

1154
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 4: you know, the psyche of a player. Given where the

1155
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 4: Colts are at right now.

1156
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they're feeling horrible, and I think

1157
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 3: it's natural that self doubt creeps in. You gotta squash it.

1158
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: And again, you're twenty four hours from the game now,

1159
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 3: so you got to move on. You got to go

1160
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: back to your process. Watch Seattle tape. Now get going

1161
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 3: on San fran You get an extra day with the

1162
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 3: Money Night football game. But again for me, Matt, what

1163
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: I said earlier, it's about confidence individually and whatever you

1164
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 3: got to do as a player to eliminate any of

1165
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 3: that self doubt you have in your mind and go

1166
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 3: into this game and Lee's last three. Supremely confident. That's

1167
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 3: what you got to do. There is no other option

1168
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 3: than that than to be sky high, supreme confidence. When

1169
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 3: you roll on that field Monday night and all you're

1170
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 3: worried about is one win, you get one, you worry

1171
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 3: about the next one. That's how you can string together

1172
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 3: three in a row here and get yourself back in

1173
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: the dance. But Coach, with the Monday night game, have

1174
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 3: you started breaking down tape yet or are you going

1175
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 3: to give yourself an off day to get in on

1176
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 3: San France.

1177
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 6: I got these guys down, brother, I got them down.

1178
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 6: I finished them off this morning. To tell you the

1179
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 6: truth on yesterday.

1180
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 4: Joe, What a silly question out of you, Joe, to

1181
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 4: be honest with, Who are you talking to right now?

1182
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 3: Now? No, I'm just I'm pumping up coach. I'm giving

1183
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 3: him some confidence.

1184
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 5: Doubt.

1185
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 6: The Niners come in ten and four plus fifty one

1186
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 6: scoring ratio. But to me, there really overachieving. This is

1187
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 6: a very winnable game, regardless of perception. Now I will

1188
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 6: say this perty played great. He got the rust off,

1189
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 6: he was out a long time. He really had a

1190
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 6: great game against Tennessee yesterday. Two ambient players on offense. Guys,

1191
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 6: you must stop McCaffrey. Nine hundred plus rushing yards, eight

1192
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 6: hundred plus receiving yards, and a tremendously elite tight end

1193
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 6: in Kittle forty five catches and six TVs. Much better

1194
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 6: offense than defense. Their defense flies around, but it's number eighteen.

1195
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 6: They're really really simple. They're not super talented. I think

1196
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 6: we can work it on them. Again. Their offense is

1197
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 6: number ten. But I think the most important thing in

1198
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 6: this huge venue we're going to play in this is

1199
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 6: when we can get this is ten. This might be

1200
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 6: the worst team of the final four we play and

1201
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 6: don't listen to you know, the perception is the Niners.

1202
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 6: This the Niners that you know, this is one we

1203
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 6: can get.

1204
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 4: All right. That's a look at the forty nine ers

1205
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 4: who fly to town Monday night football. And that's all

1206
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 4: the time we've got tonight on this edition of Colts

1207

Speaker 4: game being played on Monday night a week from this evening,

1209
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,920
