That's 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: what I had reached down to. 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: And be honest with Wow, you're going now you're digging 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: deep in the archive there on the plane. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: I'm going, I'm going sixties unionizing. 30 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: I mean, so you picked that over friends or something. Huh. 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: But I will tell you this, I did you know 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: we talked about. I got home by the same time 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: you did, about four h five through the through the 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: countryside of Jesus up here. I got home and then, 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: but I will say this, I fell right asleep. There 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: was no there was no after burn on this one. 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: It was all burned out on the trip. So yeah, 38 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: and so I got a good night's yesterday. I got 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: a lot done, got sleep, and you know what, feel 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: really good today, really good. Ready to roll. 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you, You're always ready to roll. Baby. 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Let's keep the wheels on the road here, Rick vent 43 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: Terry right there, all right, So before we get into 44 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: the blueprints and talk about the Bills. Let's talk about news. 45 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 2: The Colts do not make any moves at the trade 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: deadline earlier this week, so that's done in past and 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: the team also plays center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: on Tuesday. He sad caff and he issues this season, 49 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 2: so that means he's gonna miss at least the next 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: four games. Hopefully it's just four games. And that's just 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: another layer to this Colts offensive line piece right now. 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 4: Rick. 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: When it comes to injuries, Bernard Rieman missed last week's 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: game with concussion, so we'll see where he is this week. 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: Will Fries, as we know, lost for the season at 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: the right guard spot, so Dalton Tucker's played and started 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: the last four games there, and then Tanner Bordolini is 58 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: likely to move in the center role for Ryan Kelly 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: during his absence. So what do you make of all 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 2: the moving and shaking lately for the Colts along that 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: offensive line before we talk about the Vikings, Yeah. 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: It's really amazing, and you know we ended up you know, 63 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: you end up with three rookies in there. I mean 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: you end up with you know, Marshall Tucker at right guard. 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 4: You know, that's my line. 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: Come on, now, I stole your line. 67 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: On your line that would be Dalton Tucker from Marshall University. 68 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Now, Bordolini has played well in the two 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: games that he played for Kelly, you know, and really 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: and truly I hate to say it, because I think 71 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: Kelly has been a terrific player. He's the pivot of 72 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: that line. He's a guy that is really smart and 73 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: can redirect protections and he's really valuable in there. But honestly, 74 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: in his career now and it really goes back to Alabama, 75 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: he's missed a lot of time. He's just missed a 76 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: lot of time and that may be a factor in 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: the in his future here. And like I said, I 78 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: think they have a real comer in Borlini. Now he 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: doesn't have the experience. Good thing. Buffalo is very vanilla. 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: The only difference is they've got a guy like Oliver 81 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: inside who they can put him down on there and 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: give him quickness like he's never seen. Maybe the most 83 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: important one is to see if we can get Bernie 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: back at left tackle because the strength of the Buffalo Bills. 85 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: They're not a blitz team, they're not exotic, but with 86 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: Rousseau on one side, Espiniza on the other side, and 87 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: now the big guy coming back. You know that that 88 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: gives them, that gives them excellent edge rushers. And actually, 89 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: you know, actually Gonzalves hung in there pretty well until 90 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: we got down two possessions, and then when we got 91 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: down two possessions, you know, then it was like target 92 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: practice on Flacco. They started. And that's this is what 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: I said in the pregame, you know, is that it's 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: not just one on one. It's a game of stunts. 95 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: And when that starts, those lines stunts started happening. Then 96 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 3: you know, Nelson wasn't used to him there. Like I said, 97 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: it was target practice. So I think the two tackle 98 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: physicians are more important than anything coming into this one. 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: Matt, all right, So the Colts are also staying with 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco at quarterback despite the offense, like we said 101 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: on Monday, not finding the end zone or the red 102 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: zone on Sunday night. And they're also coming off season 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: low's rick in offensive points, yards, first downs, and rushing yards. 104 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: The defense held the Vikings scoreless in the first half, 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: recorded three takeaways for the game, but they still allowed 106 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: Minnesota to wrack up a respectable rushing number. They had 107 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 2: a season high and completions over twenty yards with seven 108 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: allowed and three passing touchdowns and a career high eighty 109 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: two percent completion percentage to Sam Darnold. Rick, So, put 110 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: the Vikings game to bed for us, and describe your 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: fallout from the game as we go into game number nine. 112 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think we had a good discussion. 113 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: You brought up a really good point Monday night on 114 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: the round table. I think the bottom line for the 115 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: Colts is they're not playing sixty minutes of championship football. 116 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: You see flashes of good football, but you don't see 117 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: sixty minutes of good football. Whether that's coaching, you know, 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: whether that's offense, defense, special teams, it's just not there. 119 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: I think, from a positive standpoint, like most teams in 120 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: the NFL, if they put a sixty minute game together, 121 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: there's no there's no game like Buffalo they can't win. 122 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: But at this point in time, you know, offensively, we've 123 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: been on a three week slide. I mean, and I 124 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 3: think the worst statistic of all is the fact that 125 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: we're nine for forty seven on third down. That's with 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: two quarterbacks. You know, that's nineteen percent, and that's telling 127 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: you you just can't stay on the field. And then defensively, 128 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: we're twenty fourth on third down, so you can't get 129 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: off the field. And I think that's if you if 130 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: you want to go big Pitcher. Those are the two 131 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: biggest issues. I think one of the problems that Stikean 132 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: has and I think he's suffered. I think his play 133 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: calling has been shaky in the last three weeks, is 134 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: that you when you're in a two quarterback system, not 135 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: that you're playing two at one, but you and one 136 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: is diametrically opposed to the other one. One guy is 137 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: totally different than the other one. It's very hard Matt 138 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: to develop an in game identity. It just really is, 139 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: because you have to be totally different with Flacco venu 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: are with ar five. So I mean, that's created a 141 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: real mess to me. On offense, there's no doubt about it. 142 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: And defensively we lavish praise on him. But you have 143 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: to separate good playmaking from good defense. If it was 144 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: my day and I gave up four hundred and sixteen yards, 145 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: I let the quarterback throw for eighty two percent, and 146 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: I let the best receiver in football run wild for 147 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: nineteen six, the highest he's ever had. I'd be fired 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: in New Orleans by Monday. Okay, So I'm not buying 149 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: into all this. And I've seen this kind of vanilla 150 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: defense for forty four games over and over. So the 151 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: only thing I'm gonna say is if that doesn't change, 152 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: if it doesn't evolve, there will always be a ceiling 153 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: on how far this team can go. And then special teams. 154 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: We got a high priced guy that you might as 155 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: well nickname him wide left. So all the issues can 156 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: be good enough, and they can be good enough this 157 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: week if you play smart and you play well. But 158 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: until we can put that sixty minutes together, that's gonna 159 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: be the issue. 160 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 4: All right. 161 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: Well, let's turn the page now, and this week it's 162 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: all about the Buffalo Bills, who come to Lucas Oil 163 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 2: Stadium for the first time since twenty eighteen. And the 164 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: big picture here rick Buffalo seven and two winners of 165 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: four in a row. They're after their best start since 166 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty. They current sit second in the AFC playoff pickture, 167 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: and they currently have a four game lead in the 168 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: AFC East thanks to another win last week over the Dolphins, 169 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: where they beat Miami thirty to twenty seven. The Bills 170 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: own the biggest gap in the NFL between first and 171 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: second place teams among all divisions. 172 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: They've made the. 173 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: Playoffs five straight years and this year they are a 174 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: very complete team on both sides of the ball. They've 175 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: scored thirty or more in six games on the season, 176 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: that's the most in the NFL. They've allowed ten or 177 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 2: fewer in four games, which is tied with the Chargers 178 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: for the most in the NFL. They also lead the 179 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: NFL and turnover margin plus eleven, so they don't turn 180 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: it over and they take good care of it. And 181 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: the straw that stirs the drink, obviously, it's quarterback Josh Allen, 182 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 2: who's been with the Bills since twenty eighteen. He's playing 183 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: like an MVP so far here at the halfway point 184 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: of the season. The Bills have won close games. They've 185 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: also blown teams out. They've won four games by at 186 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: least twenty one points. So I'm gonna stop it right there, Rick, 187 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: that's a quick outlook on the Bills from the blimp. 188 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 2: What else do you want to highlight on them on 189 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: the big picture here? 190 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: Well, just from a coaching standpoint, I think McDermott is 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: a little bit underappreciated at eighty five, forty nine and 192 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: four division championships. I think when he made the move 193 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: to Joe Brady last year in the middle of the season, 194 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: it's been goal for him. Brady, you know, came out 195 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: of that LSU program with Burrows. You know, he's done 196 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: a great job. I think he's done a really good 197 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 3: job of finding the right balance with a great athlete 198 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: in Allen. I think they've been very good. You can 199 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: make the case for them as being a league team 200 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: in the two statistics you mentioned number four in scoring 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 3: and number eight and p points given up. Those are 202 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 3: definitely winning values. But I'm going to spend a lot 203 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: of time on this today because they have warts on 204 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. If you're smart, have a 205 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: good game play and attack them on the other end 206 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: of it. They are number nineteen and running the ball. 207 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: They're not a good run defense team. That could get 208 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: them into trouble. And they don't stop the run per 209 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: their number twenty six. So and I basically value everything 210 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 3: on what you are run per because that means that's 211 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: what you're how effective you are per down and distance. 212 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: You know, the whole thing from an offensive standpoint, you know, 213 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 3: spins around a really good game plan for Allen. You 214 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: have to have a terrific rush plan for Allan. You know, 215 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: we've seen him so many times, Matt. We've seen him 216 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: in a playoff loss, We've seen him in a forty 217 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 3: one to fifteen victory against them. So I've seen the 218 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: highs and lows in Allen. But he's a two thousand 219 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: yard passer. He's number four in QBR because he's a 220 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: total package. And this year he has one hundred and 221 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 3: seven passer ratings. So not going to argue with the 222 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: talent there now. Where he's at his best and we're 223 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: going to get into this is when he breaks the 224 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: pocket and he gets on the playground, particularly if he 225 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: gets on your edge. To me, if I let him 226 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: on the edge this week, I'm gonna kill that guy 227 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: that's supposed to keep him in. He's just he's not 228 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: going to play another down for me, okay, because I 229 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: know this game will start and end on keeping this 230 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: guy locked up in the pocket, because when he gets 231 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 3: on the edge, he can extend it and he will 232 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 3: let it fly. He's a real and this whole team 233 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: is this way. They have a front running element to 234 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: them mentally, I don't I don't know exactly how to 235 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: define it, but they have it. And Alan, in particular, 236 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: Alan is a guy that if he gets started early 237 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: and gets going on you, look out, he's coming downhill 238 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: on you. If he doesn't, if you can upset them 239 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: and upset him mentally, he tends to get shaky, tends 240 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: to get that deer in the headlight. Look, we had 241 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: him beat up there in that playoff game just before 242 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 3: the half. We blew it. We went for a fourth 243 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 3: and four, didn't make it. They got it back. He 244 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: got out of the pocket if you remember, hit that 245 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 3: fifty yard ball downfield. They went in scored and they 246 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: ended up going in with the lead, high five and 247 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: one another. Now they've got some good receivers, not great receivers. 248 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: Shakir has become just a really good slot. He's there 249 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: all purpose. Get the ball to him, a little bit 250 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 3: like downs. He's a you know, gadget guy, you know. 251 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: And then they've gotten a great year out of Coleman, 252 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: you know, the pickout of Florida State. Not a fast guy. 253 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 3: But you know what, what I've learned this year is 254 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: he really plays fast. He's their outside guy. Shakira is inside, 255 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: he's outside. He's fifty to fifty red zone jump ball 256 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: and he's done a terrific job. Actually, he's been one 257 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: of the surprises in the league for me. Now they 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: got a Marie Cooper, which is a good get for them. 259 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 3: He hasn't he hasn't factored in too much. But he 260 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: is another guy that's really reliable. I mean he has 261 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: six hundred ninety six catches and sixty three touchdowns, so 262 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: it's just a matter of time. I think you're going 263 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: to see him grow as the season increases. King Kid 264 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: is also a really good tight end, kind of a 265 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: possession guy, and when he's scrambling around, if there's nothing downfield, 266 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: he'll get it to King Kid. Their offensive line is 267 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: best on the left side where they pound you with Dawkins. 268 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: They when they're running well, it's usually to their left, 269 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: but they have huge protection issues. You know, even even 270 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 3: with a right running quarterback. On defense, they are a 271 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: nickel team and that's the end of it. That's the story, 272 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: and they won't change it, you know, with Johnson number seven, 273 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: who's a really good nickel, but I mean, they won't 274 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: give you a base. You can put thirteen personnel in 275 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: their twenty two personnel and they're going to be a 276 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: nickel and I think it hurts him at times. That 277 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: is a luxury with him. They're not strategically challenged. They 278 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: don't give you a lot of looks like the Vikings, 279 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: just the opposite. But they do play with speed, athleticism 280 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: and effort. They're really well knit. They don't do a lot, 281 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: but what they do they do it well. You know, 282 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: their number eighth in scoring, which is really good, but 283 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: their number seventeenth total, now with that stat will tell 284 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: you in the film, will bear it out there is 285 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: a bend, but don't break quality to this team again 286 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: and they're number seven in the redsdence, so they kind 287 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 3: of bow it up there. Not a complex team, they 288 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: don't blitz, basically static over team, but they will give 289 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: you you know, they get a lot of single high 290 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: on first down, some cover fork, some cover eight corners 291 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: are naked on first down. You know. Then you know 292 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: when they get the longer yardage, you will get the 293 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 3: mix of two to one lurk and reverse eight which 294 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: are specialized coverage. It's terms of personnel which I know 295 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: the fans are interested in Rousseau and Espinasa and now 296 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: with von Miller come back, they're pretty good on the edges. 297 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: I mean they've got good sacks. That's Penza and Rosa Rousseau, 298 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: but you know Miller has had a career of sacks. 299 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: Oliver and Jones on the inside are good, and Oliver 300 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: is a great athlete, not very big, but a good athlete. 301 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 3: There they're third down. NASCAR is pretty good in there, 302 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: and von Miller will only get better. He just got 303 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 3: in there for the first time last week. Linebackers, they'll 304 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 3: go to the ball. Johnson at Nickel is tough, Douglas 305 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: Benneford has been solid. I thought elm went in at corner, 306 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: really struggle aggressive at safety, and a guy that's having 307 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 3: a terrific year. You talk he was comeback player last year, 308 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: but he's having a real terrific year as a starter, 309 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: and that's Hamblin. He's got like fifty seven tackles, two 310 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: picks and five at Safety's really done good. But I 311 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: think they can and I'm going to get into this 312 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get a little history here. They can 313 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: and they must be dominated with time of possession. 314 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's stop right there and begin rolling 315 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: out the blueprints for a Colts win and start dissecting 316 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: the Bills here on both sides of the ball. Let's 317 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: start first with the Bills offense. Got it by Josh Allen. 318 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: Of course, he's played the Colts twice in his career, 319 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: including one in a playoff game like you alluded to, 320 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: but he's never played the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, 321 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 2: and this year he's one of the front runners for 322 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: the MVP at the halfway point of the season because 323 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: he's accounted for four of the Bill's top five passing 324 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 2: yard seasons in franchise history, and he's already set the 325 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: club record in twenty twenty with over forty five hundred 326 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: yards that season. Since he broke into the league in 327 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, ranks fifth in the NFL in passing yards 328 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: six and completions over twenty five, third in passing touchdowns, 329 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: and he has the second most rushing yards and the 330 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: most rushing touchdowns among. 331 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 4: Quarterbacks, So very dual threat there. 332 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 2: They lead the NFL on turnover margin at plus eleven, 333 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: and they have set a club record with nine straight 334 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: games to start a season while not losing the turnover battle. 335 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: The skill weapons looked a little bit different this year 336 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 2: after they traded Stefan Diggs to the Texans in the offseason. 337 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: Since then, they've adopted a wide receiver by committee approach, 338 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: headlined by Khalil Shakir, draft pick Keon Coleman and recent 339 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 2: addition Amari Cooper. In fact, the Bills have ten players 340 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: with at least one receiving touchdown on the season. That's 341 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: the most in the NFL, but Coleman's dealing with the 342 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: wrist injury. Cooper didn't play last week with an injury, 343 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: so we'll keep an eye on those guys in terms 344 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 2: of the passing game. But the running game goes through 345 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: James Cook and rookie Ray Davis out of Kentucky. He's 346 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 2: ripped off some big runs on the season, and the 347 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: offensive line plus the scrambling ability of Allen, has produced 348 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: the fewest sacks allowed on the season. They've only given 349 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: up eleven in that category, and the Bills have been 350 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: exceptional inside the red zone on the season. Their twenty 351 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 2: five red zone touchdowns are the second most in the NFL. 352 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: Rick So that's the skinny on the bills when they've 353 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: got the ball on off offense. What else did I 354 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 2: miss before you go into your muss here? 355 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 3: You don't miss much and you're right. I tell you 356 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: the two guys I didn't mention much about, and I'll 357 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: get into here in the musk. Cooking Davis is a 358 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 3: good combination. Even though they you know, they're not, like 359 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: I said, they're not a good rush per team. They're 360 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: nineteenth at four to four, but they've got two backs 361 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: that are good. Cooks is really good. He's got a 362 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: four to seven you know average, and Davis, as you said, 363 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 3: it's coming on. He had he had a swing pass 364 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: that he caught, made people miss and made an explosive 365 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: touchdown when they needed it last week. So I mean, 366 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: I think they're strong there. 367 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 2: You know. 368 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: Obviously Alan, I'm going to get to him in the 369 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: must and I talked a little bit about their receiver 370 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: specific Shakira is their go to guy and particularly on 371 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: the possessions gadgets screens. You know, he's he was a 372 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 3: Morse Reservoir All Star if you remember, and he's really 373 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: come into the scene. If they if they have Coleman 374 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: and Amari, that's a pretty stout group. You know, they 375 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 3: kind of at receiver. I think they kind of won 376 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 3: the battle of subtraction and addition, to tell you the truth, 377 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 3: I think they these guys play better with Alan than 378 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: the other crew did before King K thirty two catches. 379 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 3: You know, I like him and Knox. They're both pretty solid. Again, 380 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 3: they're gonna do certain things. The one thing, if it's 381 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 3: third critical, third and two or fourth and two, you 382 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: gotta expect a design run. They run those toss cracks, 383 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: except it's Alan carry and there's no toss counters draws. 384 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna run him like a like Jim 385 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: thorpe back. They're a tailback, and so they do a 386 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: lot of that when they're when it's when they're gonna 387 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 3: throw the ball on those third downs and short a 388 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 3: lot of mess routes. By that, I mean a lot 389 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: of all crosses, you know, trying to get somebody open 390 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 3: in there. But he will take the shot to Coleman, 391 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: if you show it ahead of time, one on one, 392 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: particularly one on one press, he'll go get it for 393 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 3: you know, in that regard high lows. They will try 394 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: to push it deep. But in the end, you know, 395 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 3: and I'll talk about this, it's he's gonna make it happen. 396 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: He's going to extend plays, and that's where he's most dangerous. 397 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: From that standpoint, I think the defensive blueprint for victory 398 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 3: is number one, and it's always number one. You can't 399 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: let the running game get going. I mean, we're thirty 400 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: first in the league in terms of rush defense, and 401 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: that comes back to kill us all the time, kills 402 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: you in the fourth quarter. Cook is good with seven tds, 403 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 3: Davis is emerging. You have to control the line of scrimmage. 404 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: And last week, particularly early, you know, when Grover and 405 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: Buckner was in there together, I mean we controlled it. 406 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: I mean we keep them behind any count you know, 407 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 3: you know, and just there's still number nineteen four point 408 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: four rush. We got to stop these guys, got to 409 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: play downhill. We got to force them into known pass 410 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: situations where you can use specialized defenses and blitzes to 411 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 3: get after him. All Right, number two, and this could 412 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: easily pop up to one. It's probably one. But you've 413 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: got to keep Allen. You've got to keep his athleticism 414 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: squeezed and collapsed. You know, he has thrown for two 415 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 3: thousand yards and two eleven rushing and seventeen tds with 416 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: only two interceptions. You've got to keep him off the edge. 417 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it again. You've got to keep him 418 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: off the edge sown every situation, every down in distance, 419 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 3: your edge guys have to hold it. Okay, that's where 420 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: he's the big play thrower. Also, as I said before, critical, 421 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: you know, third and two, third and four, low red zone, 422 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 3: two minutes, there's going to be a lot of designed 423 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: runs for him. But you've got to keep him. You know, 424 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: I always say when you have a great space player, 425 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: you've got to keep and encircle, squeeze him and kill him, 426 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: get him down. This is a hard guy to get down. 427 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 3: You got to get him down. And then I think 428 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: you have to play the receivers within your system. Specifically, 429 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: you want to squeeze Hakir. He's not a big deep guy, 430 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: not a big speed guy, but he's high volume. You 431 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: want to squeeze him. You want to get your hands 432 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 3: on him, press him. Okay, just the office set with Coleman. 433 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: You want to jam him a little bit like I 434 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: talked about Hopkins. Incidentally, what a deal for the Chiefs. 435 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 3: Jam him at the line of scrimmage and then stay 436 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 3: high for the fifty to fifty ball. His strength right 437 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 3: now is press coverage fifty to fifty ball a lot 438 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: like Hopkins. He's not a speed guy, so you can 439 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 3: afford to jam and clim. I call it jam and climb, 440 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 3: all right. Got to get on top early number four. 441 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: I said this before. This is a front running there's 442 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: a front running quality to this team. When Alan goes 443 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: well early, he will just draw you. When he has 444 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 3: early adversity, he tends to show bad body language. Get 445 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: the deer in the headlight look and they can come 446 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 3: on glued. We had him in that playoff game and 447 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 3: let them off at the half with not smart play. 448 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 3: Don't let him get going early, and you can force 449 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: a bad game. We have to create and we have 450 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 3: to win third down. You know they're number seventeen. They're 451 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: not a precise passing team. Pressure Allen in the pocket, 452 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 3: but collapse him. You can collapse them on the right side, 453 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 3: but don't collapse and get too tight. And then you 454 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: got to beat Dawkins with athleticism. So if you bring 455 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: your right end underneath, your right tackle has to be fast. 456 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: He's got to create that edge right now and you 457 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 3: can beat them with stunts, but you have to compensate 458 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 3: with the overall speed you can power MC governance Center. 459 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: He's really like Bradbury was last week when Grover just 460 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 3: burlowed him and went in there and made the big play. 461 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 3: You can collapse him in side, okay, overall, don't be 462 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 3: afraid to bring five, but bring him with discipline. Tackle 463 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 3: him at times. A mush rush is not bad, meaning 464 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: you set the edge and your inside guys push it 465 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: without coming up feel too far and make him throw 466 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 3: it out of the pocket. Their receivers are not fast, 467 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 3: so squeeze him on blitzes. Don't play that soft ass 468 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: zone on a blitz and let them just find cracks. 469 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, you know, on 470 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 3: the south end of the stadium you have to plaster 471 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 3: these receivers to Shapiro's and on the north end you 472 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: gotta plaster him to fishers because he is going to 473 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 3: extend it and all his big plays come on the playground. 474 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 3: Do not get off your receivers if you're in zone, 475 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 3: which I hate, but if you're in zone, you have 476 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 3: to find a receiver downfield and plaster him. 477 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: I'm more of an Iozo's guy which is a little 478 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: bit south of Shapiro's. 479 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, I was trying to think of my favorite. 480 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 2: Take them even further south. Right a week we get 481 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: the point, well taken right there. 482 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 3: Take these to MA that's fine. 483 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, we can have a garage party on the south side. 484 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 4: That's always open, man. 485 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: We can open up the KEG and me and the 486 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 2: Bills wide receivers can hang out for an afternoon after 487 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: the game. That's Rick vent Erry right there. I'm Matt Taylor. 488 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: This is inside football, all right. Let's slip over to 489 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: the other side of the ball and break down the 490 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: other game plan when the Colts are on offense. Let's 491 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: discuss in detail now this Bill's defense that's giving up 492 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: under twenty points per game, allowing only sixteen a game 493 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 2: during this four game winning streak that they're on. The 494 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: Buffalo numbers are are kind of middle of the road 495 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 2: on the surface four point eight yards per rush, sixteenth 496 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: against the past seventeenth in total defense, but they are 497 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: top ten in some key areas fourth and takeaways at fifteen. 498 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: They're eighth and passing yards per attempt at six point six, 499 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: and they are seventh in lowest red zone touchdown percentage 500 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 2: allowed at forty six point nine percent. Now, the gas 501 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: rush is not going to blow you away either, because 502 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: their blitz rate is the fourth lowest in the NFL 503 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: at eighteen percent. But they still have guys that can 504 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: screw you up. Gregory Rousseau, he's leading the team at 505 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 2: four and a half sacks. Aj Epanessa He's chipped in 506 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: with four. The secondary is sturdy, headlined by corners Christian 507 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 2: Benford and Rasul Douglas. What else do we need to 508 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: know about the Bills on defense? Like you said, they're 509 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: not an overly complicated group, But how can the Colts 510 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: move the ball much better against this team than they 511 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: did last weekend in primetime against the Vikings? Rick? 512 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, the first thing you've alluded to it they're not 513 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: challenging from a strategic standpoint. They are very, very maybe 514 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: the most predictable. I broke down the first game with 515 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: them in record time, whereas when I broke down the 516 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: Vikings it took me, an, it took me a long 517 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 3: time to break them down. So I think that helps. 518 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: I mean, unfortunately AR five isn't help them, but this 519 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: would be a good game for him because they're really 520 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 3: not challenge in that regard. You know where they're gonna be. Uh, 521 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: They're gonna play Nickel every single down, no matter what. 522 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 3: And so I think in that respect, and you could 523 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 3: just look at the numbers over the years, Uh, they 524 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 3: are always vulnerable to the run, and the run would 525 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: also bring time consuming eight the clock offense. And I 526 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: think you can pound it right at them again where 527 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: they've saved themselves. Again it's a bend but don't break situation, 528 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 3: and they've done a good job because they've kept the 529 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: point total down by not breaking. And a lot of 530 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: that is their excellent red zone defense, which is number 531 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: seven in the league. Again, I think the strength of 532 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 3: their team uh, And and again it's a good team. 533 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: It's not a team with a lot of weaknesses really, 534 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 3: and it's it's also not a team of a bunch 535 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: of ambience, but it's a it's a pretty damn good 536 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 3: team everywhere. I think the strength of it lies in 537 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: those edge guys you talked about were so zero with five. 538 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: What you might see is Espinasa actually going inside in 539 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: what was going to be smooths role. And then you're 540 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: gonna see Von Miller Moore, see Von just has been 541 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: in that suspension. He just came back Sunday. He was rusty, 542 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: but you know, this is a guy that's a world 543 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: class rusher on the edge, so you know, look for 544 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: those type of things. I also think the nuisance inside. 545 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 3: He's small, but Oliver, Oliver's really really active inside. I mean, 546 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 3: you know, he's the guy that and that's where a 547 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: young offensive line has to be ready for that speed 548 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: at explosion. I like their linebackers. I think they're tough. 549 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: Their corners are playing well. You made a point there, 550 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: and I think they're kind of overlooked. They're they're really 551 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 3: they're really playing pretty well, honestly at the corner position, 552 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: and that's sur Probably the only guy that struggled at 553 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 3: all is Elam who played a little bit more last week. 554 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: Johnson very good. Nickel, He's like Kenny Moore. He's the 555 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: guy that can play the run, can play the pass. 556 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 3: I like their safeties. Wrapped is a tough he's a 557 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: tough guy. Tackler Blitzer off the edge and Hammler's just 558 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 3: had a terrific here. But you know, I think in 559 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: the long run, you do you can take advantage of 560 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: their predictability. One thing I know on first down that 561 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: the corners are going to be naked. There's no two, 562 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: there's not They're never going to close the edge, and 563 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: particularly the strong side edges. Theyn't play a little eight, 564 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 3: but they never clever the strong side eight. So if 565 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: you want to go after their corners, you want to 566 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: go after him on first down, and you want to 567 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: throw that ball deep on first down, and don't waste 568 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: plays with Pittman downfield, use Pittman inside. The guy you 569 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 3: got to use downfield is Pierce Pierce, Pierce Piers. And 570 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 3: if you want to throw Mitchell into it, that's right too. 571 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: But you got to use your speed on the outside 572 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 3: with some double moves, hooks and goes and things like that, 573 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: and take your shots on first down. Once you get 574 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: to the longer yardage, now you are going to see 575 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 3: cover two, cover two, man cover one lurk and the 576 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 3: weakness now there they don't match real hard. So the 577 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: weakness is a lot of those seams, inside, hooks, checkdowns, 578 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: screens to the edge. I mean, I think all that 579 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 3: stuff is really good, and I think that's what you 580 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: that's what you gotta do, you know, And the Colts 581 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: have done a really not a very good job the 582 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 3: last three weeks on blitz controls, so you know, and 583 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: Joe's limited movement that's going to attract that's going to 584 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: attract blitz's like flies on dunk, to tell you the truth. 585 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: So but again kind of look at them, really good scoring, 586 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: but the seventeenth and total defense third down, twenty first 587 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 3: rush per twenty sixth past sixteenth sacks eighteenth So this 588 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 3: is not you know, this is not an overwhelming defense 589 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 3: that you can't handle. All right, the Colts offensive blueprint 590 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 3: for victory, and a lot of this is playing them, 591 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 3: watching the tape now and knowing a lot of history 592 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 3: on these guys. We have got to pound their bubble. 593 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 3: They're always in over like the Colts, and you can 594 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: pound that bubble. Run it right at them, run it 595 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 3: right at Oliver, and then on the three side, on 596 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: the strong side, power it and get downhill. Oh, we 597 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: got to own their front. Their front is light, it's athletic, 598 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 3: but they're much more athletic than anchors. Number twenty six 599 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: in rush perk. Keep coming back to it four point eight, 600 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 3: pound them, keep their defensive line and linebackers off balance, 601 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 3: and keep their blitzes on the shelf, move it, eat clock, 602 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 3: got to have ball control, make play. Then that makes 603 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: play action deadly for Joe and it keeps the rush 604 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 3: off him. Now, when Joe's in there, we've got to 605 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 3: have a lot more run defensive diversity. You know, you know, 606 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 3: maybe every once in a while we could actually run 607 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 3: a league play with somebody in. But with R five, 608 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 3: our rush is our running game is so much better. 609 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: Our running game and deep passing is so much better 610 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: with him and without him. Now you have to be 611 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: creative to run the ball because they're not worried about 612 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: those edges. To be honest with you, all right, Number two, 613 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 3: mut's take the deep shots on the corners, and I'm 614 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 3: saying mostly on first down, run it and take a 615 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 3: shot deep with a checkdown. I think their corners have 616 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: been solid, but strategically they are undressed on every first down. 617 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 3: Elom did struggle when he was in the game last week. 618 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 3: But don't throw deep balls to limited receivers. You're wasting players. 619 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: Get it to Pierce, Pierce and Mitchell outside deep. And 620 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 3: then number three must let Joe vary the passing game, 621 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 3: let him work underneath downs, slash downs, Pittman and tight 622 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: ends get those guys involved, let him work the quick 623 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 3: screens outside and gadgets to the edge game. That's they are. 624 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 3: That's how you diversify the running game with quick screens 625 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 3: and gadgets and quick screens to the wide receivers. Because 626 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 3: you've lacked that quarterback to move now, so you have 627 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 3: to do it a different way. And Joe can be 628 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 3: good if he's protected. He can be really good on 629 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 3: the underneath areas first and second level, all right, Number four, 630 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 3: protect the DASCAR and expect a barrage of blitzes. You 631 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 3: don't always want to look at what you've seen. You 632 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 3: got to look at what you struggle with and stay 633 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 3: out of those known passing downs with those blitzes. If 634 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 3: you need to use seven man protection and takes your shots, 635 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: Joe has to beat the blitz. Where AR five just 636 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 3: threw guys off and he erased it that way, Joe's 637 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: gotta beat it, beat it by getting it out quick. 638 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 3: Our blitz coordination has to be absolutely flawless. And then 639 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 3: in the end, and this is true every week, but 640 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 3: I think it's more important. You know, with our quarterback situation, 641 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: you got to dominate first down. You got to stay 642 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 3: in advantage, and when you do get through, make it 643 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 3: third and short so you have your whole playbook again. Generally, 644 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 3: make this a physical day, stay in control, protect the ball. 645 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 3: And I use this thirty eight minutes of ball possession 646 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 3: okay reason I say that when we beat them forty 647 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 3: one to fifteen, okay, that day, and it's a lot 648 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 3: of the same characters, same coaches, we held the ball 649 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: thirty eight minutes, so essentially we only gave Alan twenty 650 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 3: two minutes to deal with. And I think the Colts 651 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 3: offense has to be the Colt's best defense by staying 652 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 3: on the field all day. 653 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 2: Rick Venturry, right there, those are your blueprints for the 654 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: Colts to get a win over the Buffalo Bills. First 655 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: time the Colts are playing Buffalo and the regular season 656 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one, first time at home since twenty eighteen. 657 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: And to close out, Rick, we're gonna set you up 658 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 2: for your final instructions here. This is another fork in 659 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 2: the road game. I think for the Colts, they've lost 660 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 2: to in a row. I think the reality of the 661 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 2: quarterback change has sunk in. The Bills are a great challenge. 662 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 2: Seven and two on a four game winning streak, but 663 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: as you've chronicled, not unbeatable, as was evidence last week. 664 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: As you know, they needed a heroic sixty one yard 665 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 2: field goal with the buzzer to beat the Dolphins. This 666 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: is the NFL, and the Colts make a living playing 667 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: in one score games, and I think Rick I fully 668 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 2: anticipate this game coming down to the wire as well. 669 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: So lay it out for us. We're inside the locker room. 670 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 2: We're ready for your final instructions. 671 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 4: Give it to us here. 672 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 3: Well, you made you made a good point, min man. 673 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: Before I get going number one, I see the Buffalo 674 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 3: Bills as a good team, but not a great team. 675 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 3: I don't see them as complete as a Kansas City 676 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 3: or Detroit, you know, who are good on both sides 677 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 3: of the ball, who have almost no weaknesses. So I 678 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 3: think there's no doubt they're beating I really. I felt 679 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 3: that way about Minnesota and that could have gone our way. 680 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 3: Felt it about Pittsburgh. It did go our way, you know, 681 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 3: in the end. I had a coach when I was 682 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 3: a college kid that always used to when we played 683 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 3: a game like this, which perception wise wasn't ours. He 684 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 3: always us to say, this isn't a challenge, man, This 685 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 3: is an opportunity for you to do something special. Bills 686 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 3: are a good team, but they ain't on the unbeatable. 687 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 3: They squeezed it out versus an average Dolphins team with 688 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 3: a sixty four yard field goal at the buzzer. They 689 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 3: have critical warts that I've put out there on both 690 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 3: sides of the ball that can be exploited. They have 691 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 3: won four straight and frankly, they're ready for a flat 692 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: performance and this is a perfect week for it. They 693 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 3: are four to oh at home and three and two 694 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 3: on the road. You must make the loop their worst enemy, 695 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 3: and you must become their deadly trap game. You must 696 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 3: come out on fire, and this is important. Established the 697 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 3: lead and set the physical tempo. Now the Bills, and 698 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 3: I've said this three times now, the Bills have a 699 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 3: front running mentality. Hit them in the mouth, disrupt Allen 700 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 3: and he can tank it. Let them know from the 701 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,479 Speaker 3: jump they are going to be in for a long 702 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 3: ass day. Don't believe any perception that you hear. You 703 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: create the reality between the lines. You are better than 704 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 3: your record. You have shown flashes of greatness in all areas. 705 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 3: What is now necessary is sixty full minutes of greatness 706 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 3: that means total focus. Coaches, players, fans, attack and never 707 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 3: look back. Every player, every play, get on top and 708 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 3: never never take your foot off the gas. In twenty one, 709 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 3: we kick their ass forty one to fifteen. We did 710 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 3: it by pounding their ass thirty eight minutes of ball 711 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 3: control and dominate a line of scrimmage on both sides. 712 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 3: That is your tem play, total focus, fight like kit champions, 713 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 3: and take no prisoners. This can and will be your 714 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 3: finest hour. 715 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 4: Yes, sir, final instructions right there. 716 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 2: That a boy. Rick van Turry his final thoughts to 717 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 2: the Colts to get a big win Week ten against 718 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 2: one of the better teams in the NFL, in the 719 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. 720 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a good week. 721 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: It'll be a good week to get back at home 722 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 2: after four or five on the road. Like we talked about, Rick, 723 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 2: and I don't know about you. I'm tired of head 724 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 2: into the airport every weekend. I'm tired of packing a bag. 725 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: I'm tired of leaving my toothbrush back at home. I 726 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 2: can't wait to have a Saturday off, watch some college football, 727 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: put my feet up a little bit before a big 728 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 2: game on Sunday. 729 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 3: Man, Oh, I'm totally with you. They got sixty five 730 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: cleaned up, I can cruise down here you go, had 731 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 3: a boy, No, I can't wait. It is going to 732 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 3: be great. And I just feel good about this game. 733 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 3: I feel like in a funny way, yeah, because we 734 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 3: can be physical on offense when we play as smart, 735 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 3: I feel like we match up pretty good and even defensively, 736 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 3: you know, with the kind of team they are, it's 737 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 3: really more of a rush and contain than it is 738 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 3: a coverage game, if you know what I'm saying, because 739 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: a lot of the pass offense comes with extension of plays. 740 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 3: So I just I just feel like we're pretty good 741 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 3: matchup for these guys. 742 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 4: No doubt about it. 743 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 2: We'll see how it all shakes down on Sunday.
