1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts now from the Power Home

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: sol Or Radio studio. Here's the voice of the Colts,

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. Hey, welcome into the Colts Daily Update tonight.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: On this midweek, Happy Wednesday to you. The Colts were

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: back on the practice field today for the first time

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: in two weeks. Remember that in practice at all last

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: week on a short week preparing for the Jets. But

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: they were back at it today, this time getting ready

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: for the two and six Jacksonville Jaguars. As the Colts

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: closed at a three game homestand and look to even

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: their record at five and five with a win in

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: week number ten. Coming up on the show tonight, we'll

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: hear from Colts offensive lineman Danny Pinter, who caught his

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: first career touchdown passed last week against New York. We'll

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: leave plenty of room on segment two to visit with

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: the second year player at a ball state, but a

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: lot of news to get through. First. First of all,

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is gonna have a baby, another child. He

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: revealed today that his wife is expecting any day this

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: week and their family will grow to child number two

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: in the Wins household, So exciting news there, and Wentz

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: said today that he and his wife have already talked

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: about it. They've already talked it through and if the

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: baby does come on Sunday, hypothetically WinCE will play for

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: the Colts against the Jaguars. Hopefully the timing works out

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: where Carson can be there, of course, but the heads

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: of the household have already huddled up and Win will

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: play on Sunday if there is a conflict at the

30
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: hospital in terms of delivery, timing and labor and all

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: that elsewhere. The Colts have designated cornerback Tjkerry to return

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: from IR this week. Carry can now practice with the

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: team while remaining on the list. The Colts have twenty

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: one days to activate him or else he stays on

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: the reserve list for the rest of the season. He's

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: been rehabbing a knee injury since being placed on IR

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: after Week three against the Titans, and Frank Reich said

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: today that the plan is for Carry to practice at

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: least twice this week and they'll evaluate where he's at

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: heading into the weekend. He could, in theory, of course,

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: play on Sunday against the Jaguars. That would be a

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: welcome addition to the Colts secondary that's been banged up

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: this season. And Carry's got a lot of versatility. He

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: can play outside corner and he can play nickel corner

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: and even saw a decent amount of reps at safety

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: during training camp, and given the injuries to both Carry

47
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Willis and Julian Blackman, he could be a helpful addition

48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: at that spot. And before leaving with injury in Week three,

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Carry played about seventy seven snaps in the first two

50
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: games of the season and was a key piece to

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: the Colts secondary, just as he was last year. Also

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: in the secondary, Xavier Rhodes did not practice today. Played

53
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: a season low fifty five percent of the snaps against

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the Jets on Thursday Night, left the game early with

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: a calf. He's been dealing with that injury for most

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: of the season and we'll see if he can get

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: into a position where he can play by the end

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: of the week. Also, t Y Hilton was seen in

59
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: a red non contact jersey today at practice. He's still

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: in the late stages of the concussion protocol. He didn't

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: play last week, of course, against the Jets. That was

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: a short week after leaving the game early the week

63
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: before against the Titans. It's good to see that Ty

64
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: is at least trending in the right direction to play

65
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: in his third game of the season on Sunday. And

66
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Braden Smith did not practice today with an elbow, but

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: frank Reich said today that he's optimistic that Smith will

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: play his familiar right tackle spot on Sunday against the Jaguars.

69
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: And finally, the Colts are gonna stick with Michael Badgeley

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: as their kicker this week. Frank Reich said that Rodrigo

71
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Blankenship is still working through his hip injury. He hasn't

72
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: kicked since Week five against the Ravens and still remains

73
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: on ir. In the meantime, Badgeley has been more than

74
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: serviceable for the Colts. He's made all of his kicks

75
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: in an Indianapolis uniform, four for four on field goals

76
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: and seven for seventeen on pats. Carson Wentz and frank

77
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Reich both spoke very highly of the Jaguars defense today,

78
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and rightfully so. They've got a lot of respect for

79
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: that unit, especially their rushing defense. The Jags completely shut

80
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: down the Bills last week, giving up only six points

81
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: to the high power Josh Allen offense and Buffalo. The

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars have allowed fewer than one hundred rushing yards in

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: six of their eight games this season, and they've allowed

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: three point eight yards per carry so far this year.

85
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: That's the third lowest mark in the NFL. They also

86
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: sacked Allan four times last week and came away with

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: the season high three takeaways and their big nine to

88
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: six win over the heavily favored Bills. We'll talk about

89
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: how the Colts rushing game matches up with the Jags,

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line jelling, and his first career touchdown catch

91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: with Danny Pinter, Colts offensive lineman is set to join

92
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: us when we come back on the Colts Daily Update.

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: That's next. You're on ninety three five and one oh

94
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: seven five the Fan. Welcome back to the Colts Daily Update.

00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: Look at the Colts with Matt Taylor from the Power

96
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Home Solar Radio Studio. Welcome back on the Colts Daily

97
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Update tonight. We've got a few minutes left for you

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: and it's the Colts and Jaguars coming up on Sunday.

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: These two teams have split the season series each of

100
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the last three seasons and the home team has won

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: seven games in a row in the series. And joining

102
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: us now on the line as promised is Danny Pinter,

103
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: Colts offensive lineman in year number two out of ball State. Danny,

104
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: thanks for the time tonight. How are you. Absolutely, I'm

105
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: doing well. How about you? I am great, not as

106
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: good as you. Congrats again, are in order for that

107
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: first career touchdown catch the other nine Thursday night football

108
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: against the Jets. We'll start there. What was going through

109
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: your mind when you saw the ball coming your way

110
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: in the end zone, as at the extra offensive lineman

111
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: on that play. Yeah, it was definitely moving a little

112
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: bit in slow motion, was hanging up in the air.

113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, kind of kind of

114
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: just went blank, which I think is best case scenario.

115
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: You can't really think about all the ways you could

116
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: go wrong. You just got to catch it and then

117
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, from there and all everything happened so fast.

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: But celebrating, Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Well

119
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you did. Now. I took my eye

120
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: off of you to look at the scoreboard at the

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: end of the play. Haven't really examined the tape, if

122
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: you will, After that catch. Did you have an end

123
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: zone touchdown dance or a celebration after that? No, I

124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: had nothing specific plan. That took a little heat for that,

125
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: but I'll remember is standing up and I think Eric

126
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Fisher is the first one I saw just running full

127
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: speed at me. So I just went and celebrate with

128
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: all them, which is a lot of fun. Now. I

129
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: don't mean to be critical, but how do you not

130
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: have something planned or something in the back of your

131
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: mind as an NFL player. I don't care what position

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: you play. Yeah, that's on me. If we get that

133
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: chance again at the double double the excitement on it

134
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: and make up for the last one, no doubt about that.

135
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Danny Pinter is with us. Now, when was your last

136
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: touchdown catch dating back to your days as a tight end?

137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: How long has it had it been? So? I actually

138
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: caught one my senior year as a lineman with ball State.

139
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: We actually ran a trick play, probably like my third

140
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: to last game of senior year. Um, so that was

141
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: my last time good in the end zone. So it

142
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: wasn't too long ago. Now you kept the football, I

143
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: assume I did. Yeah, yeah, shout out que and Jack Doyle.

144
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do. I've always never score

145
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown and they really keep the ball, keep the

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: ball exactly grabbed it, so I do have it. Yeah,

147
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: what are you plan on doing with it in terms

148
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: of displaying in and all that? Uh, now, I haven't

149
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: thought too deeply about that. Um. Now, I got a

150
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: couple of balls from you know, all the years of

151
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: playing football also probably slap it up there with that. Um.

152
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll definitely, uh definitely do something with it

153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: as a cool moment. I mean, it's it's an offensive

154
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: lineman's dream to get in the end zone. It had

155
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: been for the Colts anyway since twenty fourteen with with

156
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: Anthony Stanzo scored a touchdown for an offensive lineman to

157
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: find the blue paint if you will at Lucas Oil Stadium.

158
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: Are you getting heat? Are you getting you know, some

159
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: some flak from your offensive lineman mates in terms of

160
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: jealousy because they I'm sure they want to be the

161
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: ones that have the ball instead of you. Yeah, I mean,

162
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit both obviously getting a hard time,

163
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm still a relatively young guy in

164
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the group, so uh, you know, still I still take

165
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: my heat in general. But you know. I mean, obviously

166
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: everyone's messing around. It's it's been a lot of fun.

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: It was a it was a cool moment to share

168
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: with all those guys, as Danny Pinter with us. Now,

169
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: how many texts or calls did you get after the game?

170
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: And who are some interesting people you heard from after

171
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: that touchdown catch? Yeah, quite a bit. It took me

172
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: a long time to get back to everyone, and there's

173
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a chance I still haven't got back to everyone. Um,

174
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: but you know, Jeff Saturday tweeted at me, which was cool. Um,

175
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger did a little video which is funny. And

176
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: then you know, it's just good to hear from. Yeah,

177
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: I met so many people that you know, helped me

178
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: get to where I am through football and you know,

179
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: off the field and football. Um, so just just good

180
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: to hear from a lot of people, which is always nice. Now,

181
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: when when Carson Wentz is in the huddle and he's

182
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: barking the play call and you realize like, oh, holy crap,

183
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: here we go. You know, like this this could come

184
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: to me? What's going through your mind as you approach

185
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage? Uh, just just my assignment really,

186
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: um to be honest, I'm basically the last the last

187
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: look on that play, um if if not an option

188
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: at all? Um, And you know, just just the way

189
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: things shook down, it it worked out everyone else was

190
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: covered up. So um. Really, I was just thinking about

191
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: handling my my assignment to start with the D line,

192
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: and then I got out there, I said, oh, there's

193
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: nobody on there, so it worked out. Well. That's Danny

194
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Pinter's second year offensive linemen for the Colts. He's out

195
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: of ball State former tight end. How much do you

196
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: miss playing tight end, Danny? Um? I mean definitely, you know,

197
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: parts of it for sure, Moments like that making catches

198
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: are fun. But uh, I think I'm alignment that heart

199
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: blocking has always been my favorite thing and just you know,

200
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: just the um the general nature of the old line

201
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: room is something that I think I fit well, and

202
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: so I definitely prefer a line but you know, there

203
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: there's certainly out of fun aspects of playing tight end. Well,

204
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: take take me back to college at ball State. What

205
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: led to your transition from a tight end to an

206
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and why do you think that transition for

207
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: you has gone so smoothly? Oh? Yeah, it was a

208
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: mixture of things. Um. You know, I was a blocking

209
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: tight end. Um. That was certainly my forte UM. And

210
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: then you know, my coach is approaching and said, hey,

211
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: we need a tackle for next year and we think

212
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: you can make the switch. So that's all I needed

213
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: to hear. Um. You know, we were struggling team, so

214
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: I was just trying to do my part to help

215
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: the team. UM. And yeah, I think it's just been,

216
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, the approach of getting a little bit better

217
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: every day. Certainly, you know, there's always been the bumps

218
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: in the road and there still are, UM, and they're

219
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: especially making that transition right away. They were there were struggles,

220
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: but you just you just gotta trust the process of

221
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: getting better every day. And I've had I've had fantastic

222
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: coaches both in college and the NFL, and a lot

223
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: of good teammates that have helped me along the way.

224
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: That's Danny Pinter with US offensive lineman for the Cults.

225
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: For you in year number two, where do you think

226
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: you've improved your game from last year as a rookie

227
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: till now? Danny Um, Yeah, I think you know, obviously

228
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: you adapt to the speed and the physical nature of

229
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think I've I've gotten pretty comfortable with that.

230
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: Um and then really, you know, it's all about small details. Um,

231
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: So I think I've I've changed quite a few things,

232
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: and you know, just my approach in the run game,

233
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: the pass game. UM, a lot of stuff, you know,

234
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: working on my body in the offseason to help those changes.

235
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: But really it's just a lot of a lot of

236
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: small details that add up. So I've just been trying

237
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: to hammer away at those every day. And he's still

238
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of stuff. I'm trying to improve that.

239
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you know that that's just that's just

240
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: the name of the game. So just keep going at that.

241
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: From a group standpoint. What are you seeing in the

242
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line right now? Danny? The Colts are averaging

243
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty rushing yards per game. You

244
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: guys are number two in yards per carry at five

245
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: point one. What's clicking on the offensive line right now,

246
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: specifically in the ground game. Yeah, I think, you know,

247
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: just our chemistry is clicking. I think, um, you know,

248
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: now we've it was a newer group, and we had

249
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: some injuries here and there, but I think everyone's pretty

250
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: much on the same page age with you know where

251
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: this guy's going to be on you know, certain blocks

252
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: or combinations that there thing. And I think we just

253
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: got really good chemistry right now. And we're playing five

254
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: is one, which is obviously the key UM. So you know,

255
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: we've we've been hammering away at that and I think

256
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: it's it's starting to click. And obviously we've got great

257
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: backs like Nahem, JT and Marlin in the backfield that

258
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: that makes it even easier. But I think right now

259
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: just our chemistry is really clicking. That's Danny Pinter Cult's

260
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman with us. And you talked about still being

261
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: a young guy right still in your number two with

262
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: that in mind, who has helped you so far in

263
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: your career? Which guys in the locker room have sort

264
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: of taken you under their wing. Yeah, I mean all

265
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: these guys are awesome, but especially you know Ryan playing center,

266
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, He's been awesome to me both in you know,

267
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: there's more of a mental aspect of center, um, So

268
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: just just learning from him has been invaluable to me. UM.

269
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: And then q Q's helped me a ton um you know,

270
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: both whether in the off season or just just throughout camp.

271
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's the best in the game for

272
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: a reason. Um, so I'm just always trying to watch

273
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: what he's doing. And then he's done a good job of,

274
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, taking me under his wing, and he goes

275
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: out of the way to help everyone get better. So

276
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm definitely indebted to those guys. All Right, I gotta

277
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: ask you, what is it like from your angle to

278
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: block for Jonathan Taylor? Can you step aside and just

279
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: admire how special he is as a teammate running the

280
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: football for you guys? Yeah, yeah, he's He's a special guy,

281
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: like everyone knows. Um. And you know, I think I

282
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: think it just it shows his work ethic, just just

283
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: the way he carries himself off the field, how hard

284
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: he works, now humble he is is awesome And then

285
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: he flips that switch on Sunday but not even you know,

286
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: that's how he isn't practice and all that, But I

287
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: think that's all paying off for him. It's really cool

288
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: to watch that success. Just just the way he plays,

289
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: in the physical nature he plays with and uh, I

290
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: mean just just every play he's bringing it. So it's

291
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: awesome to see. And I think I know the answer

292
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: to this question, But I mean, is he the same

293
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: guy in the huddle on the field as he is

294
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: with the fans and in the media. I mean, just

295
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: as you said, incredibly humble, you know, very polite, I mean,

296
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: just very very impressive young man when it comes to

297
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: everything both on and off the field and everything that

298
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: he does. Absolutely, yeah, I know, he's he's as even

299
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: keel as it gets. And just just like I said, yeah,

300
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: he's he's so humble and he's he's good to everyone. Um.

301
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously those are the guys you'd like

302
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: to see succeed, yam and and that's part of the

303
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: reason he has so much success. Just just now grounded.

304
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: He is, um. But he's an unreal player and he's

305
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: an unreal guy too off the field. So that's that's

306
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: a guy you on your team for sure. That's Danny

307
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Pincer with US Cults offensive lineman. Another guy you want

308
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: on your team is Carson Wentz. What growth have you

309
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: noticed from him from the start of the season until now,

310
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: is you know, the the orchestrator of that offense. Yeah,

311
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: he's awesome. You know, he's a leader on this team.

312
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Every everyone looks up to him, everyone trusts him, and

313
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: just just his toughness is always on display. You know,

314
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: he had those ankles at the beginning of the year

315
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: that he played through. Um, and his toughness and his

316
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: competitive nature definitely. Uh, he's got the whole team behind

317
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: him for sure. Um, he's a great leader. And then

318
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: obviously his his play has been shown. You know, he's

319
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: he's playing really well out there, and he's he's always

320
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: giving us a chance. All right, last couple of things

321
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: with Danny Pinter joining US cults offensive lineman, what do

322
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: you make of the Jaguars on defense? Danny, They're pretty

323
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: good at slow and down the run, giving up less

324
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: than four yards per carry, and they styy the Bills

325
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: last week, giving up only six points to Buffalo after

326
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: they heading into that game scoring about thirty two points

327
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: per contest. Yeah, Yeah, they're They're they're really solid front

328
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: seven for sure, and a defense as a whole. Um,

329
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: And you know, they're not someone that you take lightly.

330
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Especially they've won two other last three, so they've they've

331
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: got some groove going right now, and I think they

332
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about what they're doing. Um, they're clicking,

333
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: so you know, obviously we see that as a challenge.

334
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: The way we're running the ball right now. That's something

335
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to. But they're they're definitely a really

336
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: solid defense and a defense that we respect. All right. Lastly, Danny,

337
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get nostalgic on you a little bit with

00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: all the levels and it's awesome and I wouldn't trade

348
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: this for anything. But there's still nothing like Friday night lights,

349
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: just playing with your friends you grew up with and

350
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: all that. You can't trade that for anything. So it's yeah,
