Speaker 3: Welcome into another episode of Instant Reaction here on the

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: Colts Audio Network. I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined every week by

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: Colts Ring of Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks to break

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: down the Colt's latest game. Bill. The Colts beat the

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders twenty three to twenty on New Year's

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: Eve at Lucas Oil Stadium. Here's what you need to

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: know the fans listening to this. If the Colts beat

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: the Houston Texans next week, they are in the playoffs.

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: If the Colts beat the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: Jaguars lose, the Colts win the AFC South for the

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: first time since twenty and fourteen. Those are the stakes

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: for next weekend's game bill, But this one the Colts,

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: they rebound from a nineteen point loss in Atlanta to

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 3: come out and really kind of control this game bill.

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: I felt like from start to finish, when you're watching

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: this game and you're kind of thinking about it and

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: talking about it after the game, the mentality I think

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: the Colts came out in this game with was really

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: good and it really reflected their head coach in a

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: way that we've seen happen a couple times this year,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, especially down the stretch here. But the resiliency

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: overall of this team, I thought really shined. And to me,

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: that starts with head coach Shane Steichen.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, starts with the head coach, of course, and it

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 2: starts with the message he had after the game against

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: Atlanta when the team didn't play well, and they know

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: they didn't play well, it wasn't the style of football

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: they want to play. So that means it comes from

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: the head coach letting those guys know, hey, look, we're

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: gonna have to clam some things and this is what

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this week. Going into the game against

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders and we're going to come in,

45
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna work hard, and we're gonna be ready to play.

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: And the guys believing in what Shames is telling them.

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, going out practicing hard.

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: And then it showed, you know, coming out first first drive,

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: going down, scoring a touchdown with JT and setting a

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: tone right from the start of the game that we're

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: going to be playing hard and that we're going to

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: make this a game and go to play physical. We

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: know Raders like to play physical, but we're going to

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: play physical as well, and just keep on giving it

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: to them. And then you know, you play the game,

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: You stay ahead of them what you want to do,

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: make them play from behind, and it makes it difficult

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: for them from an offensive standpoint. They don't have that

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: firepower meeting from the quarterback position. Yes, DeVante Adams is

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: out there a big play receiver, but they didn't have

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: that from the quarterback. So the Coast did the thing

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: that they needed to do, go out there, play hard

63
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: and jump on them early.

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: A lot to get into with this game, we're going

65
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: to talk about the secondary piecing things together without Kenny Moore,

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: the second Julian Blackman Colts making plays down the stretch.

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: But let's just start from right from the beginning here, Bill,

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: the Colts go down on their first drive, get in

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: the end zone, Jonathan Taylor runs it in. But the

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 3: play that keyed that drive was a fifty yard completion

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: from Gardner Minshew to Josh Downs or Gardner kind of

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: escapes pressure, gets outside the pocket. And we've seen Gardner

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: do this a couple of times, and Downs has been

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: the receiver. Like you think about that play against Cleveland

75
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: in week seven, or they had the free play threw

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: it down the sideline to Downs for a big game.

77
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: Even the catch against the Patriots in Week ten where

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: Gardner escapes kind of just fires went up Downs makes

79
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: a great play. What about what about this play and

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: just the wherewithal of Josh Downs and Gardner Minshew in

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: the connection they have, Bill allowed this play to work

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: and generate a fifty yard game.

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Well, what I saw that play really was, you know,

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: Gardner stucking up in the pocket, moving in the pocket

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: and Josh seeing his quarterback I won't say in trouble,

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: but kind of moving around back there and he was

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: going to try to find that open spot. He found

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: that open spot for Gardener to get in the ball.

89
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: And when Garden got on the ball, he had a

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: lot of space. So he's just basically get catching the

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: ball on open space, running with it and getting as

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: many yards as he could before he ran out of bound.

93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: So good play by Gardner of course avoiding the rush,

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: but also a big play by Josh Downs. A feeling

95
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: where the defense was, feeling where the hole was in

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: regards to back there in the secondary, and just doing

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: a nice job of feeling his way through there, finding

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: the open spot. Gardener threw the ball and the rest

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: is history. Made a nice play and again fifty yards

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: a big play on that drive because it was thirty

101
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: and five. Big play by both of those guys to

102
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: keep the driver alive. And then on JT runs the ball.

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: The next three plays, I think JT has five yards

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: for the next run, ten yards on the run after that,

105
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: and then for the five yard touchdown to give the Colts,

106
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: say six nothing lead.

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: You know, when the Colts drafted Josh Downs, one of

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: the things that we heard about him consistently was just

109
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: how good he is at finding space. And on this play,

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: you look at the two Raiders cornerbacks eighteen and thirty nine.

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 3: They don't really pass it off very well. Alek Pierce

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: kind of runs like a whip route, and I think,

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was supposed to be Jack

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: Jones or thirty nine he was going to pass it off.

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: But Downs is just running in free space here. But

116
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: the way that he he gets he keeps himself open

117
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: almost where he doesn't round his route off, you know,

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: too close to team, he doesn't get too deep where

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: the safety apps can get to him, just like a

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: really good feel for space. And then the other thing

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: Bill that I noticed rewatching this play, Braiden Smith just

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: routes Max Crosby up field. Yes and yes Crosby. I

123
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: mean the ball is snapped and within like two seconds

124
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: Crosby's beyond Gardner Minshew, which allows Minshew to escape to

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: his right and then make that throw. So for all

126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: the impact that Max Crosby had on this game, Braiden

127
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: Smith did his job really well. Just say hey, you're

128
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: going upfield and that opens something up for Gardner Minshew

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: to go make this throw exactly.

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: Braden Smith did his job. Hey, let Max Crosby get

131
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: himself out of the play. Rides him up the field,

132
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: Gardner reads that, steps up, and then give credit to

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: all three of the players because then Josh Downs has

134
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: a good awareness of space down the field and he

135
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: finds that space that's open that you know what, if

136
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: Gardner throws me the ball, no one gonna be able

137
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: to get it, and I'm not gonna be too close

138
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: to a defender, and I'll be an open spot where

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: Gardener can see me and it will hit me and

140
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: if I can catch it, I can make some yards afterwards.

141
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: So give those guys credits for doing a good job

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: out there, breathing, riding, Max Crosby up, Gardener reading it,

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: stepping up, and then hitting Downs as he found some

144
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: open space out there to get the balls of Downs

145
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: and Downs runs and make some yards after the catch.

146
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: So good play by all three of those guys in

147
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: a big play for the Coats to help them go

148
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: down and score.

149
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: The touchdown to Jonathan Taylor. The Colts kind of go

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: you know, a little off tackle it looked like on this,

151
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: but the touchdowns key because Michael Pittman Junior just takes

152
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: twenty one on the Raiders out of the play and

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: watching it, watching it live like pitt made that look

154
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: so easy, like he was just kind of, you know,

155
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: hu hum, pushing like a blocking slid. But I think

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: Bill and I kind of touched on this on pregame

157
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: when I was on with you guys. But I think

158
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: the attitude that Michael Pittman Junior brings to this team

159
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: just overall was a little bit missing last week in Atlanta.

160
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: And on that first drive you could feel it. You

161
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: could feel Pittman just pushing guys around, being a guy

162
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: who you could trust at the point of attack. And

163
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: I talked to pitt about it after the game and

164
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: he kind of said, you know, yeah, I often I

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: feel like I kind of find myself being at the

166
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: point of the runs on a lot of plays. And

167
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: he said, I don't think that's a coincidence. I think

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: it's because they trust me on the outside to go

169
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: block these dudes. And that was just one of that.

170
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: There's another one that we're going to get to later

171
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: in the game, but that was just another one of

172
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: those plays where you can run it to Pittman side

173
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: and he's going to take that corner completely out of

174
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: a play.

175
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: Definitely, I think pitt likes that. I think he enjoys

176
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: that physical part of the football game where he goes

177
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: out there and you know what, if the running play

178
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 2: is coming my way, I want to be the lead

179
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: guy out there. I want to be the point guy

180
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 2: out there to block my man and hopefully spring the

181
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: running back to gain some big yards out there. So,

182
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: you know what, if he's doing it out there and

183
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: he's he's setting an example, other guys are going to

184
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: see that. They want to do that, they want to

185
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: get involved as well, and it does a lot for

186
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: the running backs. Running backs know that, hey, you know what,

187
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: Pitts go on and be out there blocking. If Pitt

188
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: can get that big block, that might be the block

189
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: that gives me that twenty five yard run or that

190
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: thirty yard run in a forty yard run, a big

191
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: the big play down the field. So give credit to

192
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: Pitt for being willing to go out there on block

193
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: and make the big plays. And uh, you know what,

194
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: that's what you need if you want to have those big,

195
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: big explosive runs.

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: So after that, Colts go up seven to nothing, the

197
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: Raiders go down and get a field goal, and then

198
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: both teams kind of just trade punts. It was pretty

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: cagy like if you know, kind of felt like the

200
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: Raiders are winning the field position battle a little bit, Yeah,

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: but it never also really felt like the Raiders were

202
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: going to threaten much on offense. The game then kind

203
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: of gets going again when the Colts pick up a

204
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: couple first downs. They start a possession on their own

205
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: ten yard line halfway through the second quarter, pick up

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: a couple first downs, and then get into a third

207
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: and one at their own forty two and this is

208
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: the touchdown to Alec Pierce. This play. I love everything

209
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: about this because talking to you know, I asked Shane

210
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: Steichen about it after the game, talking to Alec about it,

211
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: the Colts knew that if they got in a third

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: and short situation that the Raiders were gonna they're gonna

213
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: commit to stopping the run. They're gonna bring a zero blitz,

214
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: which means you're playing man demand coverage on the back

215
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: end with no deep safety, and they they I think

216
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: the Colts even kind of goaded the Raiders into it

217
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: a little bit by putting Josh Sills on the field

218
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: as a six offensive lineman. So they call this play.

219
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: It's a heavy play action and Alec Pierce has two

220
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: responsibilities on the play. The first is if there's a

221
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: deep safety, Alex's job is to run a post and

222
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: just to run that safety off, clear them out and

223
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: get something underneath for a first down. But if that

224
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 3: safety isn't there, Bill, Alex's job is just hey, you're

225
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: gonna run into space. And he said, coaches all week

226
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: told him if that safety is not there, you're gonna

227
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: have acres of space to run into. And even said

228
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew on Sat Night told him, Hey, if we

229
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: run this play, envision yourself catching the ball because it's

230
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: coming to you and you're gonna get a big play

231
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: out of it. Good protection on the play, Gardner let it,

232
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: let's the pass go Alec just kind of bends it off,

233
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: so it's not much of a post route. It's kind

234
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: of more of an over and he comes in with

235
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: it Bill just as a wide receiver, like when you know,

236
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: you get lined up and you see a look and

237
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: you're like, here it is. This is the thing we've

238
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: been practicing for all week. The ball's coming my way.

239
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: I know it's coming my way. What does your mentality

240
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: have to be? Do you can you put extra pressure

241
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: on yourself in that moment? Or is it just sort of, Hey,

242
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: this is what we practiced all week. I got this.

243
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna get a score out of this.

244
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: The biggest thing for a play like that when you

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: see the play developing and you know, you talk about

246
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: it all week and it's actually starting to happen and

247
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: you kind of vigilize it and you see it happening.

248
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: The thing that you have to be cautious of for

249
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: yourself is don't get there too quick. And if you

250
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: get there too quick, meaning that you don't get the

251
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: right depth, you don't break it off at the right point,

252
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: the quarterback's not ready to throw it, and then the

253
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: defender can close in on you and cover the route.

254
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: So give Alec credit for getting up the field. The

255
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: player robertson the dB was playing outside of him. Alex

256
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: give the field and makes a nice angle posts over route.

257
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: He didn't go too flat because which is good. If

258
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: he went too flat, Jack Jones, who was on the

259
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: other side, he drops off, and then if he would

260
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: have ran right into Jack Jones and Jack Jones could

261
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: have picked it off or knocked it down. So give

262
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: Alex credit for running a nice route keeping enough separation

263
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: between him and Jack Jones. On the opposite side, but

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: also beating the guy over him, Robertson and making a

265
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: nice route. And then give Gardener credit as well. Gardner

266
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: stays in the pocket, he sees Spilane coming up into

267
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: the pocket and he delivers the ball out there, del

268
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: it so Alc can go run and get it and

269
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: not have to Alec then have to wait for it

270
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: or anything like that. And Robertson could could have closed

271
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: on him, but he made it out go get it.

272
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: Nice throw and nice execution of the play to score

273
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: a touchdown. They are a big, big, big play for

274
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: Alec and the team for the fifty eight yard touchdown.

275
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: One one just like quick. This is probably a little

276
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: inside football. But you mentioned Spelane on that play. And

277
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: sometimes if you see a free runner like like I've

278
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: got this question, people like, well, why you know, how

279
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: do they miss that block? Who missed their block? No

280
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: one missed that block, but no, Gardner knows. Gardner has

281
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: to know in this play that I'm hot if like

282
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: forty like this hot route's basically on me, forty one's

283
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: coming free. I know he's coming free, but I also

284
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: know that Alec is going to be open, So you

285
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: can still make a throw like that with a guy

286
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: in your face because you expect it. That just that

287
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: aspect of this whole play design. Again, to hit a

288
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: play like this, everything has to go right. If one

289
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: guy doesn't do their job, well it is it's blown up.

290
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: But everyone did their job on this play, including Gardner

291
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: knowing that forty one is gonna come free on me,

292
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 3: Spleene is going to be right in my face. And then,

293
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: like you said, Bill, I thought that that was a

294
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: great breakdown of how Alec found the space there. Again,

295
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: this kind of goes back to what we were talking

296
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: about the Josh downs where sometimes it looks like a

297
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: guy is just wide open and no, that was easy,

298
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: but like there's a lot more detail that goes into

299
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: it than just Alec running free and catching a touchdown

300
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: here exactly.

301
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: And it's actually understanding the defense and understanding what the

302
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: defense is trying to do, and that comes from watching film,

303
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: understanding it what they're trying to do to you, and

304
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: also going through it in practice understanding that, hey, okay,

305
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: we get this. Look, this is what they're going to do.

306
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: This is way this guy should be, this is what

307
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: this guy's going to do. Okay, on the backside, we

308
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: don't have any one releasing out, so that means that

309
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: this guy sees it, he might drop off, So I

310
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: have to change an angle of my route to making

311
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: sure that this guy doesn't follow up under my route.

312
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: So there's a lot that goes into it. And give

313
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: the guys credit for not just going out there and

314
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: next secuting a play, but understanding the play and all

315
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: the things that can happen in that play and learning

316
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: from practice and learning from watching film and then going

317
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: out there and executing those plays on a football field.

318
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: So give those guys credit. And as you said, there's

319
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: a lot that can go wrong, but that didn't happen

320
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: to the Colts this evening. They went out there and

321
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: played and executed those plays and made some big plays

322
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: out there in the football field.

323
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: And by the way, something that Alec brought up to

324
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: me after the game, which I thought was a really

325
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: good point, was about three minutes before this, the Raiders

326
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: did the same thing. They had a third and one

327
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: on the Colts forty three yard line. They ran a

328
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: heavy play action and the pass was incomplete. But on

329
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: this play you have Davante Adams double covered with Nick

330
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: Cross and Crystal Mons all over him, and then Jalen

331
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: Jones is on DJ Turner or DJ DJ Tucker, DJ

332
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: Turner moving on. He was on number eleven on the

333
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Raiders and he had him just enveloped. The pass is incomplete.

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: And then something to me that I actually I kind

335
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: of wish I asked more defensive players about this after

336
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: the game. It's something I thought was, Okay, it's third

337
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: and one, get the ball in plus territory. Obviously the

338
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: Raiders are going for this, right and they don't they punt.

339
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: And to me, if I'm a Colts defensive player and

340
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: I see they throw a deep shot on third and

341
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: one and then they punt, I'm going they don't trust

342
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: their offense at all, like Antonio Pierce does not trust

343
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: his offense. Whereas if that pass that Gardner threw was

344
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: incomplete to Alec, I can almost guarantee you Shane Stikeen

345
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: is going for it on fourth and one, even if

346
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: it's at it wasn't even in plus territory Like that

347
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: is a situation where I could have been like, Shane's

348
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: going for it. That's just something I like, I just

349
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: as a quick aside. Antonio Peers has done a great

350
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: job with what the Raiders are doing that team to

351
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: get them to the level where they were there in

352
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 3: playoff contention this week. Phenomenal job. I think he deserves

353
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: strong consideration for that head coaching job. But that's a

354
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: situation where if you don't trust your offense, that maybe

355
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: has cascading effects as the game goes on.

356
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you don't trust your offense, if you don't

357
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: trust any part of your team, defense, special teams, then

358
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: you're gonna coach coach a little bit differently. And you know,

359
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: if Antonio Pierce doesn't trust his offense, he doesn't want

360
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: to put his defense in a bad situation if they

361
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: don't get the first down. So maybe he decides, you

362
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: know what, Hey, our best thing is to punt. Let's

363
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: back them up, Let's make them try to drive up

364
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: the whole field. And then he was trying to play

365
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: the field position game, So hopefully back him up. Maybe

366
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: we'll get the ball again, we'll have some fresh downs,

367
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: we'll get good field position, and then hopefully maybe in

368
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: the next drive we can get some points or move

369
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: the ball down a field and score a touchdown. Now

370
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: what for Antonio Pierce do that? As you said, it

371
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: probably showed that, you know what, this is how I

372
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 2: have to coach this team because of just the players

373
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: that we have, and you know what, this the way

374
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: the offense is not moving the ball as well over

375
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks. Maybe I need to do

376
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: this to help our help our team out and hopefully

377
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: the defense can make a play, maybe they can get

378
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: another turnover. Maybe he was hoping the defense can get

379
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: a turnover by backing the Colts up and then seeing

380
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: what happens the Raiders.

381
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: Four of the five Raiders punts today, Bill came in

382
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: Colts territory, so that I think that tells you a

383
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: lot about where the Raiders were. But also, I mean

384
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: not let's talk about the Colts defense now, because give

385
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: some credit here to the Colts defense that Antonio pears.

386
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: Even with Aiden O'Connell in a quarterback and no Josh Jacobs,

387
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: you still have DeVante freaking Adams out there, and Davante

388
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: got his today, certainly, but the Raiders didn't feel comfortable

389
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: going getting aggressive on offense. Give some credit to Gus

390
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 3: Bradley here. I know everyone's gonna sit back and be like,

391
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: what last drive of the game that was awful. The

392
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: Raiders are able to move downfield. The last couple drives,

393
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: they were able to move it. But okay, let's just

394
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: reset here the players who were in the cult secondary today.

395
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: You have two cornerbacks who are not your starters in

396
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 3: week one in Juju Brent's and Jalen Jones. Juju Brents

397
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: had a very good game today, very very good. Jalen

398
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 3: Jones had the pick six where it got called back

399
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: for past interference. But then your your slot corner was

400
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: Chris Lamnz, who was your he's your third string guy

401
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: there because Kenny Moore had a back injury, so he's out.

402
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: Tony Brown got suspended, and then you're down to chrys

403
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: La Mons. So that's where you're at in the slot,

404
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 3: and then at safety you're playing back there this kind

405
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: of rotation of Nick Cross and Ronnie Harrison. Ronnie Harrison,

406
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: who you signed to convert to linebacker, is now back

407
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: there at safety and has played a pretty good game,

408
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: like what Gus Bradley did today working with the players

409
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: he had on the field. Give Gus Bradley some credit

410
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: because okay, yeah, DeVante Adams had a big game, but

411
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: the Raiders scored twenty points and you won the game

412
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: with a bunch of guys who you never expected to

413
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: play on the back end of this defense. Today.

414
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you put those guys back in there

415
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: and give those guys credit, give the players credit, and

416
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: get the coach's credit for giving those guys ready to play.

417
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 2: Ronnie Harrison Junior are going out there playing Nick Cross

418
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: getting sometime of course back there, as you mentioned Chris

419
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: Lamon's and you know you had the two rookies out

420
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: there at the corner. You had Jayalen Owns and Juju

421
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: Brents out there and two long guys. And I bring

422
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: that up because as as a former receiver, I hate

423
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: it going against guys that had long arms that could run,

424
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: made it very difficult to get off the ball. And

425
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: you know, give those guys credit. Juju Brents played a

426
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: pretty good game today. I think he did a nice job. Yes,

427
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: Devanta Adams got his thirteen catches and over one hundred

428
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns. He made some big players out there,

429
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: but he's Devanta Adams. He's one of the best players

430
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Not just better, not one

431
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: of the better pass receivers, but just one of the

432
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: better players in the National Football League. So give him credit,

433
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: you know what. And Gus did what he had to do.

434
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: And people talk about that one drive when they went

435
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: down the field and they scored, well, the Coats were

436
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: up by two scores at that time, the Raiders had

437
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: used all that timeouts. They didn't have any timeouts. So

438
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: basically what you want in that situation, you don't want

439
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: to give up a big play in a short amount

440
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: of time so that they can possibly get the ball

441
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: back and have time to go down and score again.

442
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: So you want to keep things in front of you. You

443
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: want to keep everything in front of you, make sure

444
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: you don't give up big plays. So Gus Bradley did

445
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: the right thing. And in my in my opinion, uh

446
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: and that lat and the and there to keep everything

447
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: in front of them, make them drive the field, make

448
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: them have to use some time on the clock and

449
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: then hopefully by the by the time if they if

450
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: they would score at which they did, there wouldn't be

451
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: much time on the clock for them to get an

452
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: on side kick and get the ball back. And they

453
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: didn't get the on side kick. So give Gus Bradley

454
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: credit for doing the right thing at the end of

455
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: the game to keep the ratis from getting multiple times

456
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: uh multiple opportunity to score touchdowns.

457
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: And and by the way, for the Gus Bradley should

458
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: blitz more crowd. Like if Gus Bradley sent a bunch

459
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: of blitzes and you're leaving these cornerbacks undressed to borrow

460
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: a term from Rick Venturry against Davante Adams and Jacobe Myers,

461
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: who are two really good wide receivers, that's not that's

462
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: not gonna be It wouldn't have been better, and it

463
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: might have been worse because in O'Connell back there, I

464
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: was impressed by him. He made some tough throws under pressure.

465
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: But the Raiders offensive line played really well in this game. Like,

466
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: give him some credit. And if you had just been like, yeah,

467
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: you know what, let's have Gus Bradley turn into Wink

468
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: Martindale and just send zero blitzer this all day, Like,

469
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: I don't think this would have been better. It probably

470
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: been worse and you would have you could have come

471
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: out of this game with a loss. So give Gus

472
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: Bradley credit for working with the guys that he had

473
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: on the field in this game. That is the job

474
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: of the defensive coordinator, and it was a tough one

475
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: for Gus in this game, but I thought he did

476
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: about as good of a job as you could have.

477
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: Definitely. I mean, he understands his team. He knows that

478
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: the players that are out there, he knows he has

479
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: a young secondary, He knows what he's trying to do.

480
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: He knows what type of defensive line he has that

481
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: can possibly put pressure on the quarterback and make some

482
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: big players without always blitzing the young quarterback. And he

483
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: did a good job. I think Gus Browley did what

484
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: he needed to do to protect those guys in the

485
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: back there, those young guys back there, and you put

486
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: pressure on the guys up the front to get some

487
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback and hopefully get some sacks. The

488
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: bottom line, as the Colts won, they did what they

489
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: needed to do to win the game. Now it's on

490
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: to Houston.

491
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 3: So down the stretch, the Colts made more plays than

492
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: the Raiders, especially in the fourth quarter. The Colts started

493
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: off a drive they took over with thirteen minutes to go.

494
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor immediately rips off a fifteen yard run, picks

495
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: up another first down on third and one near midfield,

496
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Right after that play, Tray Sermon comes into the game.

497
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: He goes for twenty seven yards kind of a crack

498
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: toss play to the left. Michael Pittman Junior does a

499
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: good job clearing his guy out, allowing Sermon to spring

500
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: that That play winds up resulting in a field goal.

501
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: Colts get a third and six in the red zone

502
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: and change. Stikeen knows, let's not let's not do anything

503
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: crazy here, Let's just run the ball, so he gives

504
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: it to Tyler Goodson on third and six at the

505
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: Vegas eighteen. Colts kick a field goal. Then after the

506
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: Raiders go down and get their field goal of their own, which,

507
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: by the way, third and six play on the Indie

508
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: fifteen yard line. Juju brents with a great pass breakup

509
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: on a one on one to DeVante Adams. Just a

510
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: phenomenal play by Juju Brance like he had a really

511
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: good game. Like we mentioned, that was his best play

512
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: of the game. Biggest play of the game. Colts takeover again.

513
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor immediately an eleven yard run. So then you

514
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: kind of get ahead of the change. You start forcing

515
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: Vegas to call timeouts. Michael Pittman Junior then draws pass

516
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: interference that picks up twenty six yards. So now you

517
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 3: move into Vegas territory. You get a couple plays here.

518
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: Max Crosby wants up making a big play on third

519
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 3: and three. Mackay then misses a fifty yard field goal,

520
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 3: but Jack Jones is off side, so now you have

521
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: Mac Gay to kick a forty five yard field goal.

522
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: That is good. Colts go back up by two scores

523
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: with three minutes and fifteen seconds to go, so right

524
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: there that those are the kind of plays that the

525
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 3: Colts made to win games. And then the Raiders made

526
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: a play with the off side that loses you a game.

527
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: So down the stretch, the Colts executed better. And I

528
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 3: know you can talk about that that last drive of

529
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: the Raiders had, but they went to them. They scored

530
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: a touchdown if the Raiders had even if the Raiders

531
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: re covered the onside kick, they don't have any time

532
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: outs and they about forty seconds to go. You keep

533
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 3: everything in front of you. Okay, they scored, we recovered

534
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: the onside kick, we win the game. The Colts executed

535
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: better down the stretch, full stop.

536
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: And that's all you need. That's what that's what you

537
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: want to do. That's good teams do that. Good teams

538
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 2: execute when you need to execute the plays, and the

539
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: Coats did that in the fourth quarter. And to me,

540
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: one of the good things is one of the things

541
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: that I like the most is how the Coats ran

542
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: the ball. You know, you heard the coach, they had

543
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: coach Stich and said before we're gonna throw the score,

544
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: run to win, and you saw that in regardless to

545
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: at the at the end of the game, the Coats

546
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: are running the ball. Tail up the middle. You had

547
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: Taylor up the middle, Taylor left tackle, Taylor off the

548
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: left end. You had a sermon of the left end.

549
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: He was running the ball, eating up clock. They were

550
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: gaining yards, getting first downs, and then when they got

551
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 2: into a position to score, they kicked the field goal.

552
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: Did a nice job, took some clock up, took some

553
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: time off the clock, put some more pressure on the

554
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: Raiders to try to go down and score. They kicked

555
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: the field goal. As you mentioned, JJ, all things you mentioned,

556
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: but the bottom line is the coachs were executing down

557
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: the end, and that's what you're going to have to

558
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: have if you want to go into the playoffs. And

559
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, start executing down the end in

560
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter on both sides of the ball, offense,

561
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: defense and also special teams. You want to execute, minimize

562
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: the mistakes and better eliminate the mistakes and so that

563
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: you could execute and have positive plays. And those are

564
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: the things that win you football games in the National

565
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: Football League. So give credit to the Coats for executing

566
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 2: down the stretch and that's what helped them win the

567
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: football game today.

568
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: The Colts gave themselves a chance by winning to earn

569
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: a win and in game against the Texans in week eighteen.

570
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: By virtue of the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Cincinnati Bengals,

571
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: the Colts now have a win and in in week eighteen.

572
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: By the way, Ronde applause to Harrison Bucker six field

573
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: goals today for the Chiefs. If you, by the way,

574
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: I feel bad for anyone who went up against Harrison

575
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: Bucker and lost their fantasy matchup. That is a tough break.

576
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: Harrison Bucker in six field goals today, including let's see

577
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: one from fifty plus three from forty plus Wow. Great

578
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: news for the Colts. Bad great news if you are

579
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: going up against Harrison Bucker in the fantasy league. And

580
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: by the way, sorry, if your fantasy league still as kickers,

581
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: that is a big result for the Colts. Look, I

582
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: mean if the Colts, if the Chiefs won that game

583
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: or the Bengals won that game, excuse me, the Colts

584
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: would have gone into Week eighteen needing to win and

585
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: then get some help. And now the Colts don't need

586
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 3: any help. The only help that they could get is

587
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: the Titans beating the Jaguars and then winning the division.

588
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: But the Colts are guaranteed at least the seven seed.

589
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: The Colts could either be the number four seed by

590
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: winning the division, the sixth seed if they win and

591
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 3: the Bills lose, or the seventh seed if they win

592
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: and the Bills win and the Jaguars win. So those

593
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: are the scenarios. They're all laid out on Colts dot

594
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: com if you want to go read those on our website.

595
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: But it's a winning in game bill and the mentality

596
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: of this team, the fact that they made it this far,

597
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: Like I just want to end on this. I mentioned

598
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: it a little bit in a postgame article I wrote,

599
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: but a year ago at this time, we were talking

600
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: about where are the Colts gonna draft? Are they gonna

601
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: have a top five pick. Are they going to who's

602
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: the quarterback they're gonna take? Two years ago at this time,

603
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: it was Hey, they're winning in and the Colts got

604
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: embarrassed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week eighteen. This team

605
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: now to come back from those two things, to come

606
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: back from the awful sting of losing that game to

607
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 3: the Jaguars, then going four to twelve and one with

608
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 3: all the turmoil that came with the twenty twenty two season,

609
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: to come back and now be in a position where

610
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: you've got your nine to seven and if you win

611
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: this game, you're in the playoffs. The job that Chanstikeen

612
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: has done here, He's probably not going to get Coach

613
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: of the Year because it's going to go to Kevin Stefanski,

614
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: deservedly so with the Cleveland Browns. But to tie it

615
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: back into what we were talking about at the start,

616
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: the job that Shane Stikeen has done to even get

617
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: this team in this position is remarkable. It should be commended,

618
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: and regardless of what happens next weekend, the weekend after

619
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: whatever it may be, I am feeling awesome about the

620
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four Indianapolis Colts and what they can do.

621
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: But you know what, Bill, Let's go win a damn

622
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: football game next weekend. That's what matters to now.

623
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: That's what Matt is right now, and that's what I'm

624
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: excited about for the Coats having an opportunity. For me

625
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: is the Coats have an opportunity to control their own destiny.

626
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 2: To me, that's the biggest thing as a player. You

627
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: want to control your own destiny. All you have to

628
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: do is go out their, play your game, execute and

629
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: win the football game. You don't have to scoreboard, watch,

630
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: you don't have to watch anything. Just go out there

631
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: and next cute and you feel good about it because

632
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: you have a head coach that has put you in

633
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: this position to have an opportunity to win in your

634
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: in and you trust him because he has put you

635
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: in this position and he has done great things for

636
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: you to help you get into this position so you

637
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to play in the playoffs. So the

638
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: players have confidence in their coach, and the coach has

639
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: sown he has confidence in his players by the things

640
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: that he's done on the football field. As far as

641
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: the players he's called positions, he's put those guys in

642
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: So it is a fun situation right now to be

643
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: an Indian Uplis coach fan because this upcoming weekend, whenever

644
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: the game is played, the Coats have an opportunity to

645
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs and they control their own destiny.

646
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing for the players and the fans

647
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: should be excited just about what they see on the

648
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: football field, how those guys go out there and play,

649
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: how hard they play, and how much conference they have

650
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: in each other and in the coaching staff. So it

651
