1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Welcome again to Grand Park Colts Training Camp. On a 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Colts Training Camp daily with JJ Stank. If it's a 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: long Ey'm Matt Taylor, and we are post practice on 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon, overcast skies here in Westfield, Indiana. The 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: rain held off and the Colts got in some really 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: good work in front of a pack crowd. Another sellout 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: crowd on hand here at Grand Park Training Camp, brought 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: to you by cours In Fire and Security. A lot 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: to get into. The Colts practice for about an hour 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: and forty minutes this afternoon. Joining us later on in 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: this podcast. That's going to be third year offensive lineman 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: Will Fries. He looks like he's in fantastic shape and 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: he's also taking really big time advantage of running with 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: the first team offense at right guard. He continues to 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: hold down that position. So we'll talk with Will coming 16 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: up in just a little bit. But JJ, last night, 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: as we recorded this podcast, you talked about I want 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: to see Anthony Richardson continue to stack days. Last night 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: inside was a really good night for him running with 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: the second team offense. Today came back I thought looked 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: even better running with the first team offense. He accomplished 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: everything you wanted to see. 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: Rick fan Terry came over and he put his armor 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: on me after practice and just kind of went, this 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: is this is. 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: This is it. We're starting to see it. 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: We're starting to see it. This absolutely was what you 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: wanted to see from Anthony Richardson today, coming off like 29 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: you said, Matt a very sharp practice Saturday night. You know, 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: he started off, he had some you know, nice runs, 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: you know, good decisions with the football. He tired to 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: strike to Michael Pittman Junior for a touchdown in the 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: low red zone and eleven on eleven right, he had 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: a really nice touch pass to Kylon Grantson for a 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: touchdown in a red zone drow later in practice, good 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: touch on a deep ball to Alec Pierce. And I 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: think the thing that stood out to me is just 38 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: you're seeing from the start of training camp to now, 39 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: you're seeing Anthony Richardson put more touch on those throws 40 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: that otherwise early in camp might have come out as 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: just rockets, like you know in like Madden, where you 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: hold down the button for you know, the throw. 43 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: I haven't played Madden since two thousand and five, so 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: I'll take your word for it. 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: So okay, So I played Madden in like twenty sixteen, 46 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: so this still might be a thing. 47 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: You hold down the button longer for a power throw 49 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 2: and it gives you know, a line drive, and you 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: tap it and it gets some loft and you can 51 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: go in between, and it's all about touch and you're 52 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: seeing Anthony Richardson start to. 53 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Like your analogy though for the common man, exactly right. 54 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: We probably have some people who play Madden listen to this. 55 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: He's putting that kind of touch in his throws that 56 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: show growth, that show he's taking the coaching points, he's 57 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: getting a better feel for his wide receivers, and just 58 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: the that that progress that you can see, the line 59 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: you can see with Anthony Richardson is going in the 60 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: right direction. And you know, like like we talked about, 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: even after Thursday's practicers, maybe a little uneven and he 62 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: threw a pick early. How does he respond to that? 63 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: So he responded well on Saturday? Now how does he 64 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: respond to a good day Saturday? Well, he responded with 65 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: another good day on Sunday. And it's all very encouraging 66 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: as we start looking ahead to this game against the 67 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: Bills in six days, Matt, where we're going to be 68 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: watching a football game, and presumably we are going to 69 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: be watching Anthony Richardson taking snaps for the Colts in 70 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: a football game. Yeah that you know, if he can 71 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 2: keep this going over the next couple of practices Tuesday 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: and Thursday, go into that game with some momentum and 73 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: see what you're made of. 74 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the wide receiver depth again. 75 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: Will Fries is going to join us in just a second, 76 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: but before we get into who might be rounding out 77 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the receiver corps at wide receiver five or wide receiver six. 78 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: Before we get into that, I just want to talk 79 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: about Isaiah McKenzie. The Colts are using him about a 80 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: million different ways so far, and he is faster than 81 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: I initially thought he was. I mean seeing him on 82 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: the field during the spring and the OTAs. This guy's quick, 83 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But it just seems like 84 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: he's got this this twitch and this extra agility about 85 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: him that makes him really intriguing and fascinating. All the 86 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: different ways that Shane Steichen can creatively scheme him up 87 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: to get the ball in his hands in space. 88 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: He saw it a lot in Buffalo right where they 89 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: they did stuff with him that you don't do with 90 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: a lot of wide receiver. 91 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean he had an end around today on a 92 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: jet sweep and that was electric and. 93 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: I mean in the red zone you saw him do that. 94 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: Like that's who he is. He's just a guy. You 95 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 2: get the ball in his hands in space and like, man, 96 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 2: he can do some fun stuff out there. I've talked 97 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: about it a lot where he and Josh Downs have 98 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: different skill sets. So it's not in you know, while 99 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: if Isaiah McKenzie's first on the unofficial depth chart that 100 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: comes out you know next week and Josh Downs is second, 101 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: Oh this isn't you know, Isama Kenzie beat out Josh Downs. 102 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: It's just they're gonna be used different ways when they're 103 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: on the field. They're not going to be It's not 104 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: a one for one swap out in the swash so 105 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: Isamh mackenzie and some of the stuff he can do 106 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: with them, you know, with motion and because you have 107 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: to account for the thread of him with the ball 108 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: in his hands in space helps out the run game. 109 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: You know, some of the stuff Josh Downs can do 110 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: in terms of just that feel for getting open can 111 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: be really helpful, especially you get the third down that 112 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: it's a combination that has exceeded my expectations to start 113 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: training camp. 114 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: I think, all right, so your top receivers as of 115 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: right now, Again, if you're going to fill out of 116 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: depth chart, I think it would be safe to say 117 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: that Michael Pittman Junior is going to make this team. 118 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: Certainly Alec Pearce is going to make this team. You 119 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: talked about McKenzie, you talked about downs. Third round draft 120 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: pick out of North Carolina, Ashton Dulan I think is 121 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: comfortable in terms of his positioning on this team because 122 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: of what he can do on offense. And of course, 123 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: you know a former All Pro player on special teams, 124 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: who do you think is going to be in the 125 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: mix for that last receiver spot if the Colts keep 126 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: six wide outs. 127 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: You know, I thought it would be Ethan Fornia would 128 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: be in that mix. But now Hughes placed on injured 129 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: reserve on Saturday, so his season is over. So that 130 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: that's a little disappointing, just because I thought he could 131 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: be a guy, you know, you're looking at the six 132 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: guy to play some special teams. Yeah, he was a 133 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 2: guy could probably step in there. You know, Mike Strawn 134 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: continues to make plays in camp. Had another nice catch 135 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: down the sideline today in a pass with Gardner Minshew. 136 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: He actually Strawn had some really competitive reps with Jalen Jones, 137 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: assunth round rookie out of an m Jones had a 138 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: couple pass breakups today. They're pretty impressive. You know, Strawn's 139 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: in that mix. Bershad Perriman, veteran wide receivers Samatchuwan Winfree. 140 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: Those guys are both Vets. They played in the league 141 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: for a little bit, would probably be in that mix. 142 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: But I think I think there's definitely a world where 143 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: the Colts don't carry six wide receivers because you got 144 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: to carry five tight ends, or you got to carry 145 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: an extra running back, or you know, you have to 146 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: carry an extra quarterback because of the fifty three man 147 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: roster rule that allows you to kind of have that 148 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: emergency quarterback on game days. I think there are possibilities 149 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: where you do only see those five guys because do 150 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 2: you need anyone else if you need to have roster 151 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: spots elsewhere on this team. 152 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, special teams are certainly going to factor into that 153 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: as well. Staying on offense, coming up again. Will fries 154 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: He has taken every single snap with the first team 155 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: offense at right guard. He started the last eight games 156 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: of the season last year, had nine starts total in 157 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. J Jamy has he locked that up? 158 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: Is that competition over? I don't know about that. 159 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: I don't know about if he's necessarily locked it up, 160 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: But emiliki Or has been dealing with a knee issue. 161 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: I believe Shane Stikeen said recently he seemed to kind 162 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: of be the primary competition there at right guards. So yeah, 163 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: I think I think right now you can probably pencil 164 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: in Will fries because you're You're absolutely right, he's been 165 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: with that unit and you're starting to get to that 166 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: point where you do want continuity with your offensive line 167 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: once you get into, you know, this stretch between the 168 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: Bills game and the Eagles game, where you've got three 169 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: preseason games, three joint practices, those are going to be 170 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: test for the offensive line, and if you can have 171 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: continuity and that, that's great. So I do think, you know, 172 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: Will Fryes has been in the driver's seat since the 173 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: start of training camp, and he hasn't had a reason 174 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: to unbuckle the. 175 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: Seat belt yet. Yeah, he's been in the driver's good metaphor. 176 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: That was really good. I nailed that.

So you know, spending time doing extra 341 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 4: stuff to get ahead or to find something you worked on. 342 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: You know, it doesn't have to be a whole lot, 343 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: just one or two things that you want to focus on, 344 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: you know, for the rest of the day or you know, 345 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 4: going to the next I think is really important. 346 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the continuity of this offensive line, including yourself, the 347 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: starting group to this point in camp, as we sit 348 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: here and talk to you right now, will you guys 349 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: have played every rep together every day in practice. How 350 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: much does that matter? How much does that grow communication 351 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: and continuity and just familiarity because you are working five together. 352 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: But also to this point in camp, you're also working 353 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: with two different quarterbacks, so getting to know them and 354 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: their subtle differences as well as guys that you're playing 355 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: in front of. 356 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: If you will, you know, kind of like I said before, 357 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 4: you know, I think as an office line, you know, 358 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 4: like we know, it's on us and for the offense 359 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 4: to go, we have to go. And you know, for 360 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 4: all of us to do those reps together, it matters 361 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 4: a lot because you know, we need to play next 362 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: to each other, we need those reps to play with 363 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 4: each other, We need to rely on each other. And 364 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: I think that makes a big difference. When you know 365 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: you're going out through the course of the season, someone 366 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: gets you know, banged up, but you know you push 367 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 4: through for the guy next to you, push through your friend, 368 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 4: your brother, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, it's important, 369 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: you know, keep that camaraderie. 370 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: Hey, well take walk me into the offensive line room 371 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: right now. You know you're watching film on a Monday 372 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 3: or a Wednesday. Spirano is going to be barking at 373 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: you guys as it is. He's a coach. But that player, 374 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: who's that vocal player in that offensive line group. 375 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think Quinn's done a great job 376 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 4: of you know, it's not just Coach's voice, it's you know, 377 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 4: his voice, No, Ryan's voice. You know, those older guys 378 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 4: stepping up and you know, pointing out something that maybe 379 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: Coach missed or maybe something they see a little bit different. 380 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: I think it's good coming from a player as well. 381 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: It's just a little different point of view, someone who's 382 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 4: like seeing it live through your eyes, not always the coach, 383 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: you know, seeing what he sees, but through the player's 384 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: eyes as well as you know, valuable you. 385 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: Know, last couple from me, and I mean this is 386 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: a total compliment, Will, I mean, this has nothing to 387 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: do with the last couple of years for you, but 388 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: it just seems like you're coming in your own just now, 389 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: kind of settling in in.

You know, 484 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: showed that versatility early on in his career at Penn State. 485 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: He played basically every offensive line position outside of center. 486 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: Pretty cool story that if you just work hard, keep 487 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: your head down, wait for things to break your way, 488 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: wait for your opportunity to come to you, and you 489 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: capitalize on that and you make sure you don't squander 490 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: that opportunity. I mean, that's Will Fryes in a nutshell. 491 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people that can relate 492 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: to that and really appreciate how far he's come in 493 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: a short amount of time. 494 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you just get your foot in the door and 495 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: you show that you can work and you can play. 496 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: You know, he's a guy too. You know, you mentioned 497 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: he played every position at Penn State but center. But 498 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: he's a guy. You know, the Colts last year got 499 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: him some reps at center. I know he'd spent some 500 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: time training with Allen Cruits, the Chicago Bears all Pro center. Yeah, 501 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: you know recently, he's a guy who you know, may 502 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: be in a pinchie if you need him to play center. 503 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: You know, obviously Danny Pinter's on the roster, so he's 504 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: probably not the first guy up, but if it ever 505 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 2: came to that, you probably trust him at every single 506 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: position on the offensive line. Yeah, you know, he because 507 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: he's played tackle, he's played guard, right, he can you know, 508 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: slide in and yeah, that's a that's a valuable guy 509 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: to have, whether he's starting or not. But he's certainly 510 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: earning his starting line. 511 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: But I think he probably fits best at where he's 512 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: at right now, considering the other talent that's along that 513 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: offensive line in the starting rotation. Okay, the Colts have 514 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: only two more practices here. You know, this was kind 515 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: of the meat and potatoes week of Colts Camp. Gosh, 516 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: and the days are kind of running together here? We 517 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: practice what Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday off day tomorrow. 518 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: The Colts will practice Tuesday and Thursday this week and 519 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: then travel Friday to take on the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. 520 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: What will this week be about in terms of improvement 521 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: for this team going into the first exhibition game. 522 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: I think you're starting to hone in on the players 523 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: are going to run in that game against Buffalo. You know, 524 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: you kind of got through the heavy install phase of 525 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: camp and now you're going to start working on Okay, 526 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: what plays are we going to run out there at 527 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: high Mark Stadium on Saturday, And who's going to be 528 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: on the field for them? How are we going to 529 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: run them? Yep, those are all kind of the things 530 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 2: you're going to start to figure out Tuesday and Thursday. 531 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 2: You know, the Colt have a walk through on Monday, 532 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: so no open practice here at Grand Park. But you know, 533 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: then you practice Tuesday. Wednesday's an off day, You're back 534 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: here Thursday, flight to Buffalo Friday. So it's going to 535 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 2: be really interesting. I mean, obviously the new story this 536 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 2: week is going to be how Shane Styken divides the 537 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: quarterback reps for the game against the Buffalo Bills. We'll 538 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: see if we find that out by Thursday, his last 539 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: media availability before that game. But then, what's the plan 540 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: for the starters? You know, the top guys on this team, 541 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: You're you know, Michael Pittman, juniors, Quentin Nelson, Grover Stewart, 542 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: these guys, are they gonna play? Are you going to 543 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: see Shaq Leonard out there in Buffalo? Then other good 544 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: day for him too, Yeah, another impactful day for him. 545 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: He had a pass breakup in seven on seven nearly 546 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: an interception. He was making contact out there, like it 547 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: wasn't just you know, feeling it out on a blitz er, 548 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: you know, on a paty. He was getting in there 549 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 2: and he was getting physical in there, which that tells 550 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: me that after he saw the film of Saturday's practice 551 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: where Shaq was out there in full pad seven eleven 552 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: and eleven, that he liked what he saw. And by 553 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: the way, that Richard Smith liked what he saw, because 554 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 2: Shaq talked after practice on Saturday that Richard Smith has 555 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: been one of the best voices of reason for him, 556 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: of telling him like, hey, you look good or you 557 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: don't look so good out here. So seeing that another 558 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 2: encouraging sign for Shack. But again that's gonna be another 559 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 2: storyline that we're going to be following this week is 560 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: does he play in Buffalo? 561 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: No doubt. Everything's been positive so far, though, Man's it's 562 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: so encouraging, So good to see life back football wise 563 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: for Shaquille Leonard within that starting defense and taking part 564 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: in eleven on eleven work here at Grand Park.
