1 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Football is about the Jimmy's and Joe's, and x'es and o'sack. 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: New York Voto, ain't Baker Bruce. 3 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: It's time to get out the chock board and diagram 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: some plays. Here's what it all starts right here. Let's 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: play jamiey Chris. This is Inside Football with former Colts 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: and NFL coach Rick Venturie. 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: It's two in a row for the Colts. After a 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: Week four win, the Colts have now even their record. 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: They're two and two on the young season. Joe Flacco 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: came in out of the bullpen. He was marvelous. The 11 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: Colts defense came up with some timely stops and some takeaways, 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: and the depth of the team shined as the Colts 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: registered a complete team effort in beating the previously undefeated 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: Steelers twenty seven to twenty four. And now the calendar 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: has flipped October, where the Colts will be playing four 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: to the next five on the road and up for 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: a pair of AFC South games against the Jaguars and Titans, 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: and back to back weeks. Hi Gin everybody, Welcome Inside 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: Inside Football at the podcast here on Colts dot com 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: and the Colts Audio Network. I'm Matt Taylor inside the 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: Indiana Union Construction Industry radio studio. Good to be with you, 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: But you came primarily, obviously from my guy, Rick Vinturrey. 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: He's back twenty seven years of coaching background in the 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: National Football League. RV joined us on the horn right now. Rick, 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: good day to you. How are you now that we 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: are officially here in the fall season. 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: Oh? Just great, absolutely great. I think later we'll get 28 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: the chopper out a little bit. I'm looking over the 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: thirteenth Fairway beautiful day to day and after that wonderful win, 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm ready for another ballgame is Sunday? 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna get one, that's the good thing. So 32 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: the Colts are two and two after a good ballgame 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: the other day against Pittsburgh. So again, Indianapolis even. They're 34 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: among six teams in the AFC right now with an 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: even record through an and they're only a game back, 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: that's the good news, only one game back of first 37 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: place Houston inside the AFC South as the Texans are 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: three to one on the campaign. And Rick, before we 39 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: dive into that critical matchup in the division coming up 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: this weekend, let's recap that Steelers win a huge victory 41 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: against a very physical football team, and again, top to bottom, 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: it was an all hands on deck type of a win. 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: What were your big takeaways following the Pittsburgh game to 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: close out the month of September for the Colts. 45 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: No, well, put, I thought, you know, as I walked 46 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: out of there, I just felt so good about this franchise. 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: I thought it was a you know, as you say, 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: hands on deck, I thought it was a win from 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 3: top to bottom. You know, you start with Chris Ballard. 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: I mean, he gave that staff enough depth, you know, 51 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 3: to survive all the critical injuries that we went into 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: and that we suffered during the game. I thought the 53 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 3: coaching staff did a terrific job of having the team ready, 54 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: both from a technical standpoint and you know, from an 55 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: emotional standpoint. I mean, we came out on fire. You know, 56 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: we put them in a hole that they never really 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: got back from, and basically we just you know they 58 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: always say Carfee diam you know, you know, basically seized 59 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: the day. I thought number three, I can't go without 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: saying what my respect for Stiching as an offensive coach 61 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: was Sunday. I mean, he did things that actually were incredible. 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: First of all, twenty seven points versus the number one 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: scoring defense legitimately in the league, number two. He established 64 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: the lead, which had to do with a well planned, 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: just high speed offense to go up seventeen to oh 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: and to be honest with you, they that defense never 67 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: got off its heels the rest of the day. He 68 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: put them on his heels. I thought, number three, and 69 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: this is so critical. You hear me talk all the 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: time about game plan specifics, and then you know, one 71 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: of the top musts was you can't let what ruin 72 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: the day. He did not, and you know, kudos to Braden, 73 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: of course, but strategically they did a great job of Chippin' 74 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: nudgeon Dublin. I mean, you didn't even know what was 75 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: there that was number three. And then this is something 76 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: that's a lot more difficult, I think than people realize. 77 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: I think you have to have called the game on 78 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: either side of the ball to understand this. He seamlessly 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: switched from an NCAA offense with AR five to a 80 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: classic NFL offense with Joe, you know, and I thought, 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: you know that that was awesome. And then finally, and 82 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: most importantly, congrats to the coach players. I mean, our 83 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: stars came out to Seane. They really did. Richardson, Pittman Downs, Taylor, 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: Nelson and company. The left side of that line was terrific. 85 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 3: On the Dio lat To, Grover, Franklin Speed. I mean, 86 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: those guys were impressive and they you know, they are 87 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 3: our stars, but you know in this one, the others 88 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: were equally good. You know, Cross was tremendous again, Will 89 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: Matt Flacco, Bordolini, all those guys were difference makers in 90 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: the game. Just you know, an amazing day. You know, 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: you said it. It wasn't perfect. There are things we 92 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: have to clean up. You know, if we continue to 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: play with Joe at quarterback, there's some issues that we're 94 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: going to have to address long term because once they 95 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: look at him, they'll be you know a little bit 96 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: different kinds of game plan. And then defensively, as good 97 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: as we did in special plays, turning it over for it, 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: down stops things like that, we still are giving up 99 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: way too much volumes of offense. You know, we're still 100 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: sitting at number thirty two on total defense, and that 101 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: will catch us if we're not careful. But overall, like 102 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: I said, I was elated walking out of there, Elated 103 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: with the with the with the performance of our entire franchise. 104 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: Indeed, big win for the Indianapolis Colts two and two 105 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: after an OH to two start, really good rebound by 106 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: Indianapolis there to close out the month of September, and 107 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: now we get ready to rumble in October. The Colts 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: have three AFC South games on the road to the 109 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: next four, and it starts with the Jaguars this weekend 110 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: and North Florida. The Colts have it won in Jacksonville 111 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 2: since twenty fourteen, and in that time, I've seen them all. 112 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: I've been there for every single dag gone one of them. 113 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: They the Colts have been outscored by one hundred and 114 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: forty five points. The Jaguars swept the series with the 115 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 2: Colts last season, and the Jags are absolutely reeling right now. 116 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: They're oh to four. They are the only winless team 117 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: right now left in the National Football League, and dating 118 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: back to last year, they've lost nine of their last ten. 119 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: After they started the twenty twenty three season eight and 120 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: three on fire, they looked like they were destined for 121 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: a playoff spot before it all came crumbling down Jacksonville 122 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: opened the season against four playoff teams from last year, 123 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: but they haven't been able to break through. They were 124 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: shelled by the Bills in Week three, but their other 125 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: three losses have been by five points or less, including 126 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: last week's twenty seven to twenty four setbacks to the Texans. 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: And right now, Rick, the Jaguars are really banged up 128 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: on defense. Offensively, they've only scored sixty points on the season. 129 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: Elsewhere on defense, they're giving up a huge point total 130 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: in the first half, having to play catch up the 131 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: rest of the game. And all of these problems have 132 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: Forrest head coach Doug Peterson to answer some really uncomfortable 133 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: questions lately with the media, and some are wondering if 134 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: the Jaguar season is already over as we hit the 135 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: quarter mark of the twenty twenty four campaign here. So, Rick, 136 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: I'm just going to tee it up there, hit the 137 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: pause button. What else do you want to discuss on 138 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the big picture going into the game 139 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: this week? 140 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: No, you know, that's it, And I think part of 141 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: that part of that explanation, which is accurate, is a 142 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: little bit what we fight here is the perception and 143 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: the reality, you know, and I'll get into that in 144 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 4: the closing, but you know, in the end, the NFL 145 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: is not about yesterday. It's really a one week war, 146 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: full stop. That's it. And you know, what you saw 147 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: in Jacksonville last week, you may not see this week. Now. 148 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 4: You know they're coming. You know, they're coming into the game, 149 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 4: zing four really struggling twenty ninth in scoring, thirtieth in 150 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 4: scoring defense. You know, I think one of their problems 151 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: is they're doing so much. You know, they're they're the 152 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: proverbial jack of all trades and masters of none, and 153 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: that's that's what I see. You know, Peterson sixty and 154 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: fifty seven and one with a Super Bowl, but you know, 155 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: he's almost repeating the cycle that he had at Philadelphia 156 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 4: early success and then more or less fall off the cliff. 157 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, you know, they made the 158 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: big change as their defensive coordinator, getting rid of Mike 159 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 4: Calwell and they brought in Nielson. But that has been 160 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 4: very good. 161 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: They've been. 162 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 4: You know, I don't know if it's the complexity of 163 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: his defense, but they don't look anything like the Atlanta 164 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: team that he coached last year worked against US. You know, 165 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 4: they're they're disorganized at time there. You know, there's a 166 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: lot of mistakes in there, and that's really a struggle. 167 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: And I think one of the things I worry about 168 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: is that it's an underachieving team that is capable of 169 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: so much better. Of course, Lawrence, you know, is in 170 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: the middle of it. You know, Lawrence after the great 171 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 4: year in twenty two and great start in twenty three, 172 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: you know, he's reverted to some of the things that 173 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: have plagued him inaccuracies. He can be a turnover, you know, 174 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 4: volume guy. But you know, on the other hand, is 175 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 4: his his talent is just generational, So you know, HiT's 176 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 4: possible that he can put those great games together. And 177 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: he played really good against us in two games last year, 178 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 4: both with his legs and with his feet. You know, 179 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 4: they've got run. I mean, their running game is good. 180 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 4: The only guy that stops the running game is coach Peterson. 181 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 4: I mean, he he just wants to throw it every down. 182 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: But when you really, when you peel back the onion 183 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: and look at the tape, you know at ten and 184 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 4: Bigsby are good backs. I mean at the end, even 185 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: with a noh and fourteen is four to six and 186 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 4: Bigsby's up to eight. 187 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: Two. 188 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: Of course that was you know, that was massaged a 189 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 4: little bit with the home run that he hit last week. 190 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 4: But you know, if this is a team that got 191 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: more patient and Rando Ball took a little pressure off 192 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: the quarterback, I mean, they they would be really dangerous. 193 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: You know. 194 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 4: I think Lawrence has struggled a little bit because of 195 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 4: the transition in receivers, and it's not necessarily they gave 196 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: up the talent they've got. You know, they've got Davis, 197 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 4: and they've got the young kid Thomas who's really coming, 198 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: who are really good outside. Kirk is a master slot. 199 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 4: I mean, he's a master inside. So it isn't It 200 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: isn't like they don't have a lot of talent. I 201 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 4: think one thing that has really hurt Lawrence is the 202 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: lack of Ingram. Ingram is really a matchup nightmare. We've 203 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: seen that in games and they haven't had him. And 204 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: if it's possible, it's possible that he's back this week, 205 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 4: that would be a huge shot in the arm. Their 206 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 4: offensive line is and and their backs are just a 207 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: mess on pass protection right now. If you blitz this team, 208 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: you can run them out of the stadium. I really 209 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: believe that. I'll get into that later. 210 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 3: You know. 211 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 4: And then on defense, like I said, it's just they 212 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 4: haven't shown the organization, a lot of mistakes, a lot 213 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: of confusion. They haven't got the they haven't got the 214 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 4: talent out of guys, which we know they have. And 215 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 4: that's scary to me because I know they have it. 216 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 4: You know, when you look at some Colts Killers, you know, 217 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: like Heinz Allen who used to be Josh Allen, but 218 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 4: you know he had big numbers against US, four sacks 219 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: and two games last year. He's got forty six total 220 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 4: walker on the other side, you know, then they went 221 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 4: out any The other guy is Robertson. Harris has always 222 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: plagued us inside his games. His best games have been 223 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 4: saved for US. And then they acquired Armstead, so you 224 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: know there's talent there. Now they lost, you know, they 225 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 4: lost a good, good linebacker and Loocan there's no question 226 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 4: about that. He's a tackling machine. But they've got pretty 227 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: good guys. They're Cisco and Johnson, really good safety. Cisco 228 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 4: has been good against us. You know the corners, Darby Brown, 229 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: you know our new Savage. Maybe the Nickel. But Jones 230 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 4: is in there right now, you know, and that's an 231 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: area that they're struggling. They lost Campbell, you know, they've 232 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: lost some good people there, but those guys are battling 233 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 4: pretty good. Like I said, the other concern would be 234 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 4: for me in terms of big picture. We'll get into 235 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 4: this in specifics, but you know, with Nielsen in there. 236 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: Nielsen did a great job against us in Atlanta Leicester. 237 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 4: He basically played a lot of bearfront to stop the 238 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 4: run and a lot of tough man to man press, 239 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: which I'll get into, and they really stuffed as they 240 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 4: held us to about two hundred and ten points, really 241 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 4: shut us down as well as anybody. So there's all 242 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 4: those factors that you got to be really concerned with. 243 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: DuVernay is a really good return guy, and if you 244 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 4: remember this September game back in Indy, I mean, we 245 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 4: had that thing in control until Agnew who is no 246 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 4: longer there, had that big punt return told took the 247 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: whole game away. So you know, there's a there's reasons 248 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 4: to believe that if we bring our a game, this 249 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 4: should be ours. But there's also a concern with me 250 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: because if they're ever if a two and two team 251 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: can ever have a trap game, it's this one. 252 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt about it. I mean, oh and four. 253 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: Don't let it deceive you. There's still plenty good enough, 254 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: plenty talented enough, even though they're banged up to get 255 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: this win, and we'll talk about it towards the end 256 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: of the podcast. But looking down the road at their schedule, 257 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: they still think like, hey, if they take care of 258 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: business and well, you know, finally get this first win. 259 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: You know, looking at their schedule down the road, there 260 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: is a chance to maybe gain some steam and climb 261 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: back into the thick of it, at least in the 262 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: AFC South here, all right, so let's break down the 263 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: blueprints for a Colts win again. That would be their 264 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: first in North Florida in ten years if they can 265 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 2: get it. But let's start with the Jaguars on offense, Rick, 266 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: they're scoring just fifteen points per game, which is near 267 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: the bottom of the NFL so far, and they've got 268 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: some issues. Just like the Colts on offense, their passing 269 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: game is struggling. In fact, Trevor Lawrence completing just fifty 270 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: three percent of his passes so far in the season. 271 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: He's lost nine straight starts, the longest losing streak of 272 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: his career. They also struggle to stay on the field. 273 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: They only have the ball for about twenty six minutes 274 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: a game, which is thirtieth and they're really inefficient on 275 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: third down, converting only twenty five percent of the time. 276 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: The big bright spot for them in the passing game 277 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: is their rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas out of LSU. 278 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: He leads the team and receiving with two hundred and 279 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: seventy five yards so far. That's the most by a 280 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: Jags rookie through their first four games in franchise history. 281 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: Former Bills receiver Gabe Davis is now in the fold. 282 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: He's a familiar face, as is Christian Kirk. Evan Ingram 283 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: is a really reliable tied end, but he didn't play 284 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: last week with a hamstring injury. And the running game, 285 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: as you said, that consists of a two headed monster 286 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: and Travis Etn and Tank Bigsby. Etn is in his 287 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: fourth year after being college teammates with Lawrence and he 288 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: already ranks fifth and rushing yards in team history. So 289 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: a really good back there. But that's kind of the 290 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: overview of the Jaguars on offense, Rick, give us your 291 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: details and your must when the Jags have the ball 292 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: on Sunday, it is a sluggish unit. But again the 293 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: Colts defense, they can't let their guard down because they 294 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: have plenty of weapons still that can wreck the game. 295 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're exactly right. You're right on on this. Now. 296 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 4: The couple things that scare me and I kind of 297 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 4: touched on him early is the one thing they can 298 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: really do but they don't do it very much by design, 299 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: is they can run the ball. I mean, the number 300 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 4: two in the league in rush Purr and that's all 301 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 4: I care about. I care much more about per than total. 302 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 4: But they're averaging five to seven. And you said it well, 303 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: I mean at the Enna is a really good runner. 304 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 4: He's a nine gapper. He can get out the edge, 305 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: he can hit it pretty hard for a guy that's 306 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 4: not that big, and Bigsby gives him a little bit 307 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: more of a thruster who broke one last week. So 308 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: the running games there, if they choose to use it, 309 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: there's no doubt in my mind on that. You know, 310 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 4: sometimes I think Peterson is like Mike Martz. I think 311 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 4: he believes you get more points if you have a 312 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 4: passing touchdown than a running touchdown. And we know that 313 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: they have talent. We know that Lawrence at times is 314 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 4: a premier guy. You know, he's kind of a feast 315 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 4: or famine guy. And what we don't want, we don't 316 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 4: want to get the feast game. Today, you mentioned at 317 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 4: Kirk outstanding slot, one of the best slots in the 318 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 4: National Football League. He has you know, he has tons 319 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: of catches in his career. I mean, this is a 320 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 4: this is a real classy football player, number thirteen. And 321 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 4: then you said that Thomas's really coming. He had seven catches. 322 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 4: He's being featured more every every week. He's downfield guy. 323 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, he's got great speed. He can 324 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 4: run by you. You know, he can run that second 325 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: level comebacks and digs and you know, so they've got 326 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 4: kind of a two headed monster in they can work 327 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 4: downfield at Thomas and they work underneath the Kirk. And 328 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 4: then Game Davis, who was at Buffalo is a really 329 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 4: big fifty to fifty guy. He's the guy in the 330 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 4: red zone. You know, you can throw it up and 331 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 4: let him go get it. Obviously, Ingram is a Ingram 332 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 4: is a wild card right now because they really miss him. 333 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 4: He is he was the security blanket and all that. 334 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 4: They really struggle in the offensive line. I think Robinson 335 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 4: is really struggling with speed on the edge. Shurf can't 336 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 4: handle speed inside, as does Morris, and then Harrison, who's 337 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 4: probably their best player, is struggling a little bit with injuries. 338 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: So you know that's kind of the personnelse give me. 339 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 4: They do a million things on first down. As I said, 340 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 4: it's a they try to be a jack of all 341 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: trades and they're really a master of none. You know, 342 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 4: they run it, they play action, take shots, quick passes, screens, 343 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 4: RPOs and I could go into a litany, but suffice 344 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 4: to say they do a lot of different stuff on 345 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: second down. You know, they kind they'll get rid of it. 346 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 4: They want to get rid of it quick. If they 347 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 4: threw an incomplete pass, they'll run it. They'll do anything 348 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: to try to get back to third and five. And 349 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 4: then again when you get into the overall passing game, 350 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: it's really personnel driven. It's again it's Thomas deep second 351 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 4: level Kirk down underneath and if Ingrad's there, then he's 352 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 4: the matchup problem. But you know, in reality, that's kind 353 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: of what they look like as a team. And to me, 354 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: here are the must, the absolute defensive must for the 355 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: cold and number one, you got to stop at the 356 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 4: end and Bigsby and hope he continues to not run it. 357 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 4: At ten. I really like him. He can slash, but 358 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 4: he's got nine gap vision. Last year against us one 359 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 4: time we had him stop if you're remember the red 360 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 4: zone and he popped it out to the nine hole 361 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: and took it on in. And then Bigsby gives you 362 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 4: a little bit of a change up. Both guys now 363 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 4: are home run hitters, so you can't let them out 364 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: of the box and you can't let them get that going. 365 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 4: And maybe they're you know right now, they've stopped themselves 366 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 4: on that in terms of repetition, but you don't want 367 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: to give Lawrence that weapon and protect the offensive line 368 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 4: by not having them in a dropback game. We got 369 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: to can we just have to create a dimension one 370 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 4: dimensional disadvantage for them, and that also diminishes Lawrence play 371 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: action if they can't run it. Just remember at ten 372 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: is four point six and ninety four catches in the 373 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: career and Biggsby's a point to so you know, we've 374 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: got a little we got some work to do there, 375 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 4: and we struggle in the inside with certain combinations when 376 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: we don't have Davis and Grover together. We struggle now 377 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 4: then number two and we have to close the edges. 378 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: And that's just not runs that they have guys that 379 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 4: can get on your edge. Thomas, if you look at it, 380 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: Bigsby and at N can both get out of there. 381 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: And a lot of times with their edge stuff is 382 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 4: plays that are designed inside that bounce outside. So you 383 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 4: have to be disciplined. Duvernet exceptional speed on speed sweeps 384 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 4: and reverses. Same with Thomas. And then Lawrence can beat 385 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 4: you there. He's beat us there before. Got to be 386 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: really alert for him. We've gotten a lot better on this, 387 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 4: we've gotten a lot better on the first two moust 388 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 4: but we can still be vulnerable. And there's got you know, 389 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 4: just got to be disciplined. And again, just remember Lawrence 390 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: will try to make a play that's part of his 391 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 4: trouble no matter what. He never knows when the play's over, 392 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: and he will scramble the edge and he'll run designers 393 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 4: in those critical situations. Third and one you get in 394 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: a fourth and two you get down in that low 395 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 4: red zone. They're gonna run him on some kind of 396 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 4: edge play. Usually it's a runner pass deal. So again, 397 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 4: you know, stop him inside, protect the edges, I think, 398 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 4: And then I just think you have to have a 399 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: plan for the two receivers, and it's situational. You know. 400 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 4: Number one Davis is fifteen to four, but Thomas now 401 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: is emerging. He's up to sixteen to two per He 402 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 4: had seven catches last week. He's that go to guy. 403 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 4: We can't let him run by us and play him 404 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 4: in the second level. And probably he even ran a 405 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 4: reversed last week, so he's going to become the gadget 406 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 4: guy again. As I said, Davis fifty to fifty around 407 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: the red zone. Got to have a situational plan for 408 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 4: I call him the Master of Possessions Kirk. He's got 409 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 4: three hundred and eighty four catches, well over forty eight 410 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 4: hundred yards and twenty eight tds. Runs a lot of snags, options, pivots. 411 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 4: They're his specialty and alert, you know, kind of formations 412 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 4: that open him up. I call it naboo when it's 413 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: nasty on the weak side and it's a tight bunch 414 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 4: and everything is compressed in there. And then they also 415 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 4: that's when they like to work Kirk out of those stacks. 416 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 4: And then Lawrence really likes to week side up three 417 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 4: by one. He really likes to get you to over 418 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 4: balance to the three man side and cup one on one. 419 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 4: But I would say this, if it's on the line 420 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: and it's a passing down, take Kirk away no matter what, 421 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 4: and just remember this, he will attack our corners. One 422 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 4: thing Lawrence will do more than anybody I know. He 423 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 4: will throw the ball to the outside. And if you 424 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 4: study our games like I have, he will work on 425 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 4: our corners big time. With those wide receivers. Number four, 426 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 4: you got to him and ruin him as if he is, 427 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 4: you know, the generational player that they hoped, you know, 428 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 4: despite his struggles, great ability, and he's been a coast killer. 429 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: And as I said, he will attack our corners on 430 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: the outside. He is not afraid to throw it out there. 431 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: And so you know, you got to have that plan. 432 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 4: Like I said, you take the top off. Don't let 433 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 4: him take the top off. But at the end of 434 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 4: the day, he's feast or Framman. He has sixty two 435 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 4: touchdown passes but forty picks in thirteen fubels. So in 436 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 4: a way, his ratio is sixty two to fifty three, 437 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: and so that kind of defines who he really is. 438 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 4: I say number one, cut off his legs and stop 439 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 4: the deep ball. His legs are better than you think. 440 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 4: We've seen it. We've seen him move the sticks on 441 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 4: a third and eight, gain nine, get outside, make him play. 442 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 4: Cut off his legs and no deep balls. Make this 443 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 4: team work. Play after play after play has been their trouble. 444 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 4: Keep him in closed, you know, keep him at a disadvantage. 445 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 4: And then the most important thing when you get them 446 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: second and long, third and long, and we did a 447 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: better job last week. Bring the heat on this team. 448 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 4: Their backs cannot pass protect. They are a terrible blitz 449 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 4: pick up team. So absolutely bring the blitz on him. 450 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 4: Squeeze him up in there and get him down. And 451 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 4: then I'll just say it again, critical areas in low 452 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 4: red zone. He is going to run the ball. You 453 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 4: won't see it all day and then all of a 454 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 4: sudden down there he ran a quarterback draw last week. 455 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 4: Just play clean. They're still highly penalized. Again, Lawrence can 456 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 4: be the turnover machine. I think it comes back. We 457 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 4: got to do what we did last week, which was 458 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 4: dominate the line. Of scrimmage and play great in the 459 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 4: red zone both ways. You know they're twenty sixth on offense. 460 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 4: You know, keep that point total down. You know, twenty 461 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 4: nineth in in total and in scoring, So keep it down. 462 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 4: This is the game that it's time for the defense 463 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 4: to stop. The high volume of yardis they've been given 464 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 4: up by bad offenses. This is the game that you 465 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 4: want to shut him down. 466 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 2: That's Rick Venturi. That's the blueprint for the Colts defense. 467 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: This is Inside Football. I'm Matt Taylor taking a peek 468 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: at Colts and Jaguars coming up this Sunday, Week number five. 469 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 2: As we move our focus now over the Jaguars on 470 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: defense going into this game and Rick. First of all, 471 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: Jacksonville is really banged up on that side of the ball. 472 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: Take him in order here. Defensive end josh heinz Allen 473 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 2: left the game last week in Houston with a concussion. 474 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: Tyson Campbell their top cornerback. He's on IR with a hamstring, 475 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: nickel corner and also a safety. Darnielle Savage missed last 476 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: week's game with a quad tackling machine. Linebacker Foyer Aluakan 477 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: he's on IR with a foot and fellow linebacker Devin 478 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: Lloyd didn't play last week with a knee problem. And 479 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: then you've got a bigger picture there with safety Andrew Wingard. 480 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: He injured his neck or I should say he injured 481 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: his knee back in training camp. He won't come back 482 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: until later on in the season. But outside of the injuries, 483 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: the big problem for the Jags on defense is how 484 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: they start games. Dating back to Week two, the Jaguars 485 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: have allowed the opposition to score points on eleven of 486 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: their last twelve first half drives. The Jaguars have been 487 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 2: outscored seventy one to thirty six in the first halves 488 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 2: of games this season, and they also don't have a 489 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 2: single takeaway yet on defense. Their lone fumble recovery came 490 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: on a muffed punt last week against the Texans. Also 491 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: something that you brought up, and I think it's really 492 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: important to go back to this. Something to be aware 493 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 2: of is the Jaguars now guided by Ryan Nielsen at 494 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, comes over from Atlanta. He was their DC 495 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: last year and he had a really nice game plan 496 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: against the Colts when Indianapolis played down there. I think 497 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: the day after Christmas, or I think that might have 498 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 2: been Christmas Eve. But nevertheless, in that game, the Colts 499 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: scored just ten points. They mustered less than four yards 500 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 2: per play. The longest pass allowed against the Colts was 501 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: just eighteen yards. So really really important that he's got 502 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: familiarity on how to stop this offense. So I'm gonna 503 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: pause it right there, Rick, tell us who else and 504 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: what else stands out to you about the Jaguars on 505 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: defense that's giving up twenty seven points per game on 506 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 2: the season so far. 507 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, right on. On their injury situation and Campbell, as 508 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 4: you said, he's definitely out with Ir heinz Allen left 509 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 4: the game concussed, didn't come back in. You know how 510 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 4: that's touch and go that first week Olacan has gone, 511 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 4: has gone on. Ir Lloyd should be back. It was 512 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: actually a it was actually a pre game injury and 513 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 4: so but the guys that stepped in for him did 514 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 4: a pretty good job. I mean, Miller and Muma. Really 515 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 4: we're tackling machines on the inside, Abdullah. But it would 516 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 4: be great if heinz Allen doesn't play, because he's a 517 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 4: guy that has really killed us. Several things you mentioned there, 518 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 4: the change in defensive coordinators to Nielsen is good news 519 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 4: bad news. The good news for US is it hasn't 520 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 4: been a smooth transition, a lot of mistakes, and particularly 521 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 4: early in games, like you said, they really struggle with 522 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 4: movement stacks across the ball. Movement you take like you 523 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 4: take your Z and run him across. He seemed to 524 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 4: really just labor with that, I mean really and moving 525 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 4: a lot of guys and they're struggling on that. They 526 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: play an inordinate amount of Manda Man coverage, as you 527 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 4: would expect. Now, the bad news, if there is any, 528 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: is that Nielsen did do a really good job against 529 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 4: us in Atlanta. I went back and looked at it 530 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 4: and he, you know, he basically took two principles which 531 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 4: we still have to prove that we can, you know, 532 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 4: do it against, particularly if Anthony isn't there is. He 533 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 4: gave us a lot of loaded bear and load fronts 534 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: on early downs and totally took away the running game 535 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 4: and then we were minus Pittman. But regardless, he just 536 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 4: pressed us all over the field and we got no 537 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 4: separation and ended up just really getting smothered in Atlanta. So, 538 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 4: you know, if I've got a coaching concern, you know 539 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 4: that's a little bit of it, but you know it's 540 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 4: still it's still to me, this is the most underachieving 541 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 4: part of their whole team. I mean when I you know, 542 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 4: when I look at them statistically and I see and 543 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 4: I and I see the Jacksonville Jaguars thirtieth in points 544 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 4: given up and thirtieth total, you know, in thirty one 545 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 4: versus the past. It's almost shocking to me. But it's 546 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 4: right there on tape. Again. Part of it is I 547 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 4: think he's trying to do too much. Again, I mentioned 548 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 4: that old proverb jack of all trades, master at none, 549 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 4: and I think that's really hurt them. You know, when 550 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 4: you look at them, there are a four man line 551 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 4: basically a lot either under or over. And then what 552 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 4: they do is they bring Abdullah in the game, number 553 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 4: fifty six, who's a hybrid. He's a half and half 554 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 4: a linebacker, and he'll get on the edge. And then 555 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 4: when he's on the edge in the game along with Alan, 556 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 4: it could change this week. But then what happens is 557 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 4: then they will give you an under bear over bear. 558 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 4: They'll give you a lot of looks that are really 559 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 4: heavy fronts, like he did in Atlanta. But he substitutes 560 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 4: to do it, and Abdullah has been the key guy. 561 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 4: Now if heinz Allen can't play, then Abdullah becomes his replacement. 562 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 4: So now we got to look at it a little 563 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 4: bit different, although probably would use Armstead in there any 564 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 4: way to get it done. So again, that's the heavy 565 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 4: part of it. Early downs, it's a lot of man 566 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 4: free but cover three forty six. You know, basically quarters 567 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 4: are undressed on first down, even though they have backup corners, 568 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 4: tons of Manda man press. You know, when he get 569 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 4: into third down, it's a little bit different. They'll give 570 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 4: you a few more things. The most dangerous part of 571 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 4: their team is when they do get into third and 572 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: long and they go to their form of the NASCAR package, 573 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 4: assuming that heinz Allen could play. They have Alan and 574 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 4: Walker on the edge. It's two real threats, and you 575 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: know what heins Allen has done to us. And then 576 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 4: robertson Harrison Armstead inside, and then if Lloyd is healthy, 577 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 4: then he's the mic. So you've got five guys. You've 578 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 4: got four guys that can really rush it, and Lloyd 579 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 4: is a terrific blitzer. So that is my biggest concern. 580 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 4: If we stay ahead in the count, keep them off 581 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 4: balance on early downs, stay out, keep them out of 582 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 4: that Nascar package. I think will be all right. All right. 583 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 4: Our offensive must is just like we did to Pittsburgh, 584 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 4: you know, and Pittsburgh came in highly vaunted, highly regarded, 585 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 4: but our offensive line and Taylor just pounded them, okay, 586 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 4: regardless of their rush defense. Remember, their rush defense is 587 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: very good. It's number two in the league in terms 588 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,239 Speaker 4: of rush per number six. I'm sorry, you know it's 589 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 4: but it's it's very very good, very good rush defense team. 590 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 4: But I think it's a bit, you know, a bit 591 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 4: of fools gold. I think you can pound them open. 592 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 4: I think if he does give you that bear and 593 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 4: over and load, you know, get those two tight ends 594 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 4: together and pound that off tackle hole. I call it 595 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 4: a y y wing and pound it. Get to the 596 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 4: edge with crack tosses and then pick screens on first 597 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: down versus their man coverage. You know, must move that 598 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 4: front back. We've got to be able to do that. 599 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 4: We did it last week. Assuming Lloyd plays. It's Lloyd, Miller, 600 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 4: and Mooma are the three guys to play two positions. 601 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, Even though Miller and move 602 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 4: our backups. They were tackling machines last week. But at 603 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 4: the end of the day, our running backs, no matter 604 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 4: who it is, and our offensive line have to dominate. 605 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: And even if Joe's plan, I like RPOs. You wouldn't 606 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 4: run a zone read with Flacco. But I like RPO 607 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 4: in terms of either give it or throw it quick, 608 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 4: which Joe can do, because that then will make them 609 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 4: declare after the snap exactly what they're doing. Number two, 610 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 4: I think we got to continue to take our shots. 611 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: You know, we've become a really, really explosive team, you know, 612 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 4: which we haven't been for a long time, and I 613 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 4: think we still but we have to be able to 614 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 4: beat press with releases and basically take your shots to 615 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 4: Mitchell and Pierce on the outside on first down. That's 616 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 4: when their corners are going to be one on one, 617 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 4: and those are the speed guys. You got to go 618 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 4: get it with and even when you don't hit it, 619 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 4: you may get a penalty or you soft them up. 620 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 4: The other thing I really like is hard play action. 621 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 4: I talked about those linebackers. They will shark the ball, 622 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 4: they'll dive to the run, and when they do that, 623 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 4: they really open up a huge layer in there, whether 624 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 4: it's man or zone, and this is where Pittman and 625 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 4: Downs can just kill him on over routes and if 626 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 4: it's man runaways, this is where he absolute kill him 627 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 4: back in there on play action in the middle of 628 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 4: the field. You know, those two guys had fourteen catches 629 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 4: in the middle of the field. They just ruin the 630 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 4: Steeler defense and again do a lot of it with 631 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 4: cross the ball motion. When you cross the ball, you're 632 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 4: going to see a bunch of guys of Justin and 633 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 4: talking to Wonder and they never really get set. But 634 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 4: I think that's what you want to do in the 635 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 4: passing game. Then I think you want to have a 636 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 4: really good plan, which I didn't think we did against 637 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 4: Atlanta last year. And what I mean by that is 638 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 4: when you get a team that's man demand, particularly press, 639 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 4: you want to get in a lot of stacks and 640 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 4: bunches and what I call nabuus now, which means it's 641 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 4: a bunch to one side tight and it's the X 642 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 4: closed tight on the other side, which really brings everything 643 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 4: in tight in it. But it makes it hard for 644 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 4: you to sort man to man coverage. A lot of 645 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 4: rubs and meshes and then rubs outside and then you 646 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 4: can get big plays on what I call pick wheels 647 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 4: where you bring that X in from a tight slot, 648 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 4: come in a guy like Pittman and he gives that 649 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 4: big body in there, and then you swing that back 650 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 4: up the seam. You know, I think they're just really 651 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 4: vulnerable to those man routes. And in the end, if 652 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 4: you just want to work one on one, I don't 653 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 4: think they have any nickel. Even if Savage is there, 654 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 4: which he may play, I don't think they have any 655 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 4: nickel that can stay with Downs inside. So you know, 656 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 4: this has got to be a big, big game inside 657 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 4: for Downs and Pittman. And then I think number four 658 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 4: you got to protect. You got to protect the edges 659 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 4: and the NASCAR package in total. Just remember they got 660 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 4: nothing to lose now, so they're you know, they're not 661 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 4: only underachieving, they're desperate. So they're going to be desperate 662 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 4: in terms of their play calling. Again, Allen four sacks 663 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 4: against US last year. This is a really really good front. 664 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 4: Armstead brings his thirty three and a half career sacks 665 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 4: to it. They're very formidable across the ball. And again, 666 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 4: if Lloyd is playing he's one of the best blitzers 667 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 4: in the league, so you know, and then occasionally they're 668 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 4: going to make a three to two. But the biggest 669 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 4: thing is protection, protection, protection, you know. And then finally, 670 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 4: you just got to score big on this team. I mean, 671 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 4: they're you know, they're thirtieth, They're giving up tons of points, 672 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 4: and you know, we got to continue to get our 673 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 4: explosive passes and Taylor or if it's Sermon, explosive runs. 674 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 4: You know, they're thirtieth in points, twenty eighth in the redidone, 675 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 4: so they're vulnerable. I mean, this can happen, you know, 676 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 4: and they don't take it away. You said that earlier. 677 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 4: They're last in the league and takeaway. So again, as 678 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 4: I said, this is a game our defense has to 679 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 4: hold a team down, a bad offensive team and stuff them. 680 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 4: And this is a team that our offense has to 681 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 4: have a really big day totally in scoring. 682 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: All Right, those are the blueprints this week Colts and Jaguars. 683 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 2: That's the look at what the Colts need to do 684 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 2: to move the ball. Rick, as we wrap up this game, 685 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 2: as you said, it has the total feel of a 686 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 2: trap game for the Colts, which is weird to say, 687 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 2: because the Jaguars have completely had their number for so 688 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 2: long down in Jacksonville. But they're zero and four, completely 689 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 2: desperate for a win. After their owner, Shot Cohn laid 690 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 2: out high expectations for the team going into this season, 691 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 2: and believe it or not, like I said, the Jaguars 692 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 2: haven't lost all hope. They were three and seven, remember 693 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 2: three and seven and twenty twenty two before they won 694 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 2: six of their last seven to win the AFC South, 695 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 2: and twenty two players on the current roster were on 696 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 2: that team, So they've kind of been here before, believe 697 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 2: it or not. They've got some winnable games coming up. 698 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: They've got the They've got the Patriots coming up, so 699 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: they still think they can get back into it a 700 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 2: little bit. And right now this is a football team 701 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 2: that's playing poorly, but they've got the potential to break 702 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: out if the Colts don't come ready to play. And 703 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence's case in point having a bad season so far, 704 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 2: but in his last five games against the Colts, Ricky's 705 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 2: completing seventy seven percent of his passes for over one 706 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: thousand yards and nine touchdowns. So bottom line, this is 707 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 2: not going to be a layup at all for the Colts. 708 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 4: No, you're you're right, Matt, and you brought up a 709 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 4: really good point. I had actually forgot that that in 710 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 4: twenty two they ended up three and seven, which makes 711 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 4: it even a little bit more scary, you know, I 712 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 4: think it's this obviously is a critical, critical game because 713 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 4: of when it comes into division, and it's scary from 714 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 4: my standpoint. I don't think there's any doubt about it. 715 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 4: I mean, Duval County has been just a nightmare for us. 716 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 4: And get you got to understand, though, the challenge of 717 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 4: the moment. This is what the players got to understan 718 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 4: because every place they go, teams are people are gonna 719 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 4: laugh at the Jaguars oh and four, and you know 720 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 4: it's in the paper. They're gonna fire this guy. And 721 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 4: you know what, you can't keep your team totally away 722 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 4: from that. But what you got to convince them though, 723 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 4: is it's the challenge of the moment and don't get 724 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 4: tied up with perception. One thing I know, you know, 725 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 4: and it worked to our favorite last week. The Jags 726 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 4: do not fear us, just like we don't fear the Steelers, 727 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 4: and they will be damn ready. There's no doubt in 728 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 4: my mind. And they've got a busload. This is historic. 729 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 4: This isn't me talking of coal killers. There's no doubt. 730 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 4: Remember in the NFL, and I know this after twenty 731 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 4: seven years of Sundays, is there is absolutely records mean 732 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 4: nothing in this league, absolutely nothing. It's a one week 733 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 4: war period, full stop. Two things you got to come 734 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 4: to grips with in this preparation, and it starts this week. 735 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 4: It starts today in practice. Don't pick it up on Sunday. 736 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 4: They are two things. They are underachieving and they are desperate. 737 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 4: And I used to tell my guys there's nothing meaner 738 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 4: than a wounded animal that's cornered, and they are a 739 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 4: wounded jaguar. We must go to Jacksonville with an immovable 740 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 4: will of a champion. You must go there to destroy 741 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 4: their ass from the jump. They'll be ready, but if 742 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 4: you'll blast them early, the way things have gone for them, 743 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 4: there's going to be doubts in their minds, and the 744 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 4: ghosts of their owe and for record will be in 745 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 4: their heads. Please take those doubts and drive this version 746 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 4: of the Jags into the Atlantic. Anything that has ever 747 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 4: happened before doesn't mean a damn thing. You go to 748 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 4: North Florida not just to play well and hope to win. 749 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 4: You go to Florida to take it and take no prisoners. 750 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 4: The Duval curse ends today. 751 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 2: There you go. Yes, that's Rick Venturry words for the 752 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 2: Colts to close out the podcast today. Spot on right there, Rick, 753 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 2: How many of these messages did you use on your 754 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 2: own teams back in the day. I think all of 755 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 2: these come from experience, do they not? 756 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? They do? You know, I you know, I always 757 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 4: you know, and I really worked hard because you know, 758 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 4: players get tired of hearing you after a while if 759 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 4: you don't. And I always really worked hard to have 760 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 4: an emotional game plan that was just not you know 761 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 4: ABC DR. 762 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 2: You know formula formul maatic. 763 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 4: Right, you know, just like just like I believed in 764 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 4: specific acts and those for a team. I believe that 765 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 4: every game, every Sunday had a specific mental manage message. 766 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 4: And you don't wait till Sunday to give it. You 767 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 4: got to give it when they come in they're on Wednesday. 768 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 4: It starts from that first second that this is what 769 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 4: we got to do. I just I do believe that 770 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 4: you your emotional game plan starts on Wednesday. It doesn't. 771 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 4: It's not dex As he knows right, it starts. But 772 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 4: you know, teams that, you know, professional football players understand 773 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 4: they'll get tired of you if you just keep saying 774 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 4: the same thing. You know, No, seriously, I know, I 775 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 4: and we know that in broadcasting. I mean, one of 776 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 4: the things I used to do when I had my 777 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 4: own show was, you know, I would literally practice how 778 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 4: to say something a little different the next day, you know. 779 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it's really important to keep people's attention. So 780 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 4: I think that's what you're getting at, and that you know, 781 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 4: of course, i'd look forward to that. And I do believe, 782 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 4: and I've always believed that thirty year old guys and 783 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 4: thirty five year old guys are motivated, you know, just 784 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 4: exactly like fifteen year old kids are. So don't ever 785 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 4: minimize that. 786 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 2: Part of it, no doubt about it. Well, man, the 787 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,439 Speaker 2: message is spot on every week. That's Rick vent Urry 788 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 2: with the breakdowns.
