Speaker 2: have we got half hour here, Mayte, Yes, sir, yes, sir.

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Listen up. We're gonna talk about the second week of

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: the OTAs where we're at.

19
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: Don't forget Shane Stich in very important time right now

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: for the head coach, the new head coach. We're gonna

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: talk about this offseason workout program and the off season

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: positional preview series that we do week in and week out.

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: This week, may Te, it's a head scratcher.

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: At some point.

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: We got a lot of tight ends in camp right,

26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: seven of them, a lot of tight ends. I wanna

27
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: talk about the Shane Styke in offense and using the

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: tight end. So we're gonna hear from Jelanie Woods, the

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: second year tight end, the big fella. He's gonna come

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: up one on one we go with him. But Mayte,

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk this OTA and find out where we're

32
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: at right now. It is winding down. It's gonna end

33
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: with a mini camp, a mandatory mini camp. Veterans and

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: rookies alike will be there mid June. But right now

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: they're getting work done. They'reknocking the rust and the dust off.

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: This week, the team completed their second week of these OTA's.

37
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: The spring workouts are gonna conclude, like I said, mid June,

38
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp.

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: Mayte, you've been out there. I've been out there.

40
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: I gotta talk to you about the area's improvement that

41
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: you see in week two from week one with the OTAs.

42
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: Let's not forget it's a new program here.

43
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: This is a new thing. I mean, new timing, new everything.

44
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Shane Stiken comes in and says, hey, I'm putting my

45
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: stamp on this offseason program right now. What have you

46
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: seen different from last week to this.

47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: Week, I think you're seeing the offense take another step

48
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: in the foundational process. It was another week of everybody

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: on that side of the ball getting more familiar with

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: the playbook and executing it on the field. You saw

51
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Richardson and Minshew continue to split up the reps with

52
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: the first team offense. I think certainly the defense is

53
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: further along to the offense, and that's to be expected

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 4: with most of those guys back for year two under

55
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: Gus Bradley, whereas the offense is just a few weeks

56
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: into the playbook and the scheme under Shane Styke and

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: Jim Bob Cooter. But today you saw some two minute work,

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: you saw some red zone work in the eleven on

59
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: eleven periods. Ashton Deulin's making a lot of plays, Kylon

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: Grantson continues to make a lot of catches from his

61
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: tight end spot. But overall, I would say the defense

62
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: is ahead of the offense, no surprise there. And then

63
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: Richardson Jeffrey just continuing to get more valuable time splitting

64
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: those first team reps with Gardner Minshew.

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: All right mate to Anthony Richardson, all eyes around the

66
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: rookie obviously all eyes around the rookie, but Gardner minshew,

67
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: they continue to split the first team reps a quarterback,

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: They're going to continue to do that. According to the

69
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: head coach Shane Stiken, both of these qbs are lining

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: up against the Colt starting defense in both these drills,

71
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: the seven on seven and the eleven on eleven work

72
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: How do you think this continues?

73
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: Made to how do you think the first team.

74
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: Quarterback reps will be divided from here on out in

75
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: this part of the offseason program. And what is the

76
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: timing on it When they say, hey, we're zeroing in

77
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: on one. Everybody wants to see the rookie. I get that,

78
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: but when are they starting zeroing in on who's getting

79
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: more reps the rookie Anthony Richardson or the veteran Gardner minshew.

80
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: So great question.

81
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: I think as of right now, you're not worried about

82
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: playing time or getting one guy more reps than the

83
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: other because it's OTA's And when it comes to Richardson,

84
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: like we've said, he just needs to play and he

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: needs to get reps. I think you're going to see

86
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: it play out this way the rest of the offseason

87
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: workout program. Including the mini camp, but then in training camp,

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: my assumption would be that one of those guys starts

89
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: to get a lion's share of the reps, maybe two

90
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: weeks into camp, maybe one preseason game under their belts.

91
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: I think at that point one or the other will

92
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: start to emerge as the guy that best puts the

93
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: Colts into a position to win and play well right

94
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: away at the beginning of the season. So you know,

95
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: as we said, the Colts want that guy to be

96
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson because of who he is, where he was drafted,

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: and what he means the future of the success of

98
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: this franchise. But he still has to earn it. He

99
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: still has to prove that he's worthy of being given

100
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: that chance, that opportunity to play early on next season,

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: despite Minshew's experience and his knowledge of this offense. So

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: if they have to go that route too, I think

103
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: they're in a good spot no matter how this plays

104
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: out early on in the season.

105
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: Reps, reps, reps.

106
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: If people keep talking about and I'm with you, I'm

107
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: okay as long as he's both of these guys are

108
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: getting reps. I know, Gardner Minshe's played in the league,

109
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: and you know had success in this league and Anthony

110
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: Richardson hasn't, right, But I'm just saying, reps, reps, reps.

111
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna probably find out in the second week of

112
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: training camp come August up in Westfield which direction this

113
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: is headed, because a free preseason game will be right

114
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: around the corner.

115
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: So we'll keep you updated.

116
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: And I don't think you need to do it up

117
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: until that point.

118
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: That's right, right, I mean, you know I want reps.

119
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: I want reps. I mean I want reps for both

120
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: these cats, both of them.

121
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: Right.

122
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 4: And when you see Anthony Richardson make mistakes, as we said,

123
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: when you see mistakes made in OTAs, and there's gonna

124
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: be mistakes those first couple weeks of training camp, when

125
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: there's fans on site and people are taking videos and

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: you got the reporters tracking his accuracy, I really don't care.

127
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: I really don't care, because you're gonna see those things.

128
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: And I care once we get to the middle to

129
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: the later part of August in terms of what we're

130
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 4: seeing out of Anthony Richardson and where he's at pecking

131
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: order wise on the dep chart at.

132
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: That quarterback position.

133
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: You learn by mistakes a lot throughout and that'll continue

134
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: with this cat through the next ten or fifteen years

135
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: as long as he's in the NFL. Mayte we talked

136
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: about it earlier, a big head scratcher the tight end

137
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: room because there's so much talent out there and these

138
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: cats are big. Plus we got some veterans that are

139
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: in there and stuff like o Alie Cox and Kylon grantson.

140
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: But let's go over the tight end position group and

141
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: what we're looking at. Okay, on past shows, we've talked

142
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: about the running backs of wide receivers. Now it's the

143
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: big fella, the extra offensive lineman, if you will. They

144
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: have seven tight ends on the roster. Is this the

145
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: most competitive position group battle that's going on in the

146
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: roster right now?

147
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: I think so, I really do. I think it is,

148
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: considering who's on the roster and where they came from.

149
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is the Colts, as

150
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: you said, they've got seven guys. Every one of them

151
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: is either a Colts draft pick or a veteran of

152
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: several seasons in the NFL on other teams. So when

153
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: you get into training camp that battle for roster spots,

154
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna be really fierce. I think this tight end

155
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: room for the Colts is the deepest part of their

156
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: team and when it comes to potential talent and production

157
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: already in the league, you have all of that in

158
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: that room.

159
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: Mate, we're gonna be talking to Jelanie Woods. We're gonna

160
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: find out from him. But before we do, what kind

161
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: of jumper are you expecting about this cat in his

162
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: second year in the NFL? And listen, I got a

163
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: piggyback on that. Yeah, because we were all high and

164
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Drew Ogletree last year acl injury. So those two guys

165
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: who had a lot of stuff going on as far

166
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: as hey, we're looking forward to this, this double twin

167
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: tight ends that are humongous and everything, and Dregle Tree

168
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: went down first. Jilani Woods, what do you expect out

169
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: of him? And are we gonna get a rebound year

170
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 2: and a Drew ogle Tree after an injury plague season?

171
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

172
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: I think for Woods, I think it's twofold getting him

173
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: more involved in the running game as a blocker. I

174
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: think he's willing to do that. But when you do

175
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: go two tight ends, you don't want to tip your

176
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: hand formationally runner pass, So he's got to be good

177
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: in the running game, and then I just want to

178
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: see the Colts get more explosive plays with him in

179
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: the passing game. We saw that at times last year.

180
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: But look at him, Jeffers six foot seven, two point

181
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: fifty five. He's got speed, agility, former quarterback. How are

182
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: you gonna cover him? Are you gonna put a safety

183
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: on him? You're gonna put a linebacker on him again

184
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: at sixt' seven almost two sixty. I like Woods's chances

185
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: of coming down with a football. As far as Ogletree

186
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: is concerned, the hope is he comes back and he's

187
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: the same guy he was in training camp last year.

188
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: Now he tore his ACL and he's not participating in

189
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: the OTAs to me, that's not a red flag. You know,

190
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: bells and whistles aren't going off there just yet. The

191
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: hope is he comes back because he looked like a lock.

192
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how good he looked in August last year.

193
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: He looked like a lock for this team. And quite frankly,

194
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: he looked like he was ahead of Jolanni Woods this

195
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: time last year. So he's got a lot of spark

196
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: to him, and he's exciting, and I think if he

197
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: does come back, and he is the same player and

198
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: is making plays, and he's up on the offense playbook

199
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: wise like he was last year under Frank Reich. He's

200
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: going to complicate in a really good way that tight

201
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: end room. And again, the Colts are gonna have to

202
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: make some really hard, tough decisions on letting some really

203
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: good football players go.

204
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: Mo Ally Cox, Kylon grantson the veterans. We talked about

205
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: Drew Ogletree, Jolani Woods. We're gonna hear from him in

206
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: a minute. How about Will Mallory the fifth rounder out

207
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: of Miami. What's his role looking like on this thing, Matt?

208
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: And also I want to know how important, I guess

209
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: is the question in this Shane Steiken offense that we've

210
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: learned from years pass how important is the tight end role?

211
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: And also will Mallory the fifth round?

212
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: Well, it's really crowded. I mean the storyline there is

213
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 4: can he make this team as a rookie, you know?

214
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: Or is he destined for a practice squad position right away?

215
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: I mean, his skill set is incredibly athletic. He's a

216
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: great passing tight end in college. I mean at Miami.

217
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: His career reception and yardage total were the second most

218
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: by a tight end in their program history. Got the speed,

219
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: He's got the lineage right. His dad coach in the

220
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: NFL is his grandfather is former IU football coach Bill Mallens.

221
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: There's that Hoosier connection there. But tight ends are really

222
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: big in this offense. You know, to the second part

223
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: of your question, Philly used a lot of tight ends

224
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: and their offense under Shane Steichen. I mean some of

225
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: the big names in Steichen's pass. You know, Dallas Goddard,

226
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: he had one hundred and eleven catches for over fifteen

227
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: hundred yards and seven touchdowns with the Eagles the last

228
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: two seasons. Shane Stikeen's fingerprints are all over that. And

229
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: then Hunter Henry with the Chargers. He had one hundred

230
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 4: and fifteen catches over twelve hundred yards and nine touchdowns

231
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: with the Chargers understiking. So tight ends are going to

232
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: be a big time fixture in this all.

233
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 2: It's a guess only right now at this time of year.

234
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: Maye how many tight ends are going to make this roster.

235
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: I think four tops, but probably more like three. And

236
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: it's a good question, and that's what makes it so

237
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: difficult when you have seven guys that can all play

238
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: or that have played in the NFL. Last year, roster

239
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: mechanics wise, Colts kept six wide receivers, three tight ends,

240
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: three running backs, and three quarterbacks. Now, obviously that could

241
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: change under change stikeing, but that's typically how it goes

242
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: with most NFL teams. Maybe you keep two quarterbacks and

243
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: that adds another skill player somewhere else.

244
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, who do you have? Who do you get

245
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: rid of?

246
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: The Colts are bringing back all three of their tight

247
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: ends last year that played over three hundred and thirty

248
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 4: snaps by Walley Cox, Jollannie Woods, Kylon Granson. Then you've

249
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: got Ogle Tree coming back. Mallory's a draft pick. They're

250
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: high on him. Don't forget about this guy. Farrell Brown,

251
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: Big fella Farrell Brown. They signed him in free agency. Veteran,

252
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: He's played fifty five games with three teams over the

253
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: past six season.

254
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: Does he have a little Jack Doyle in them?

255
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: Mate?

256
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: Does he have a little Jack Doyle?

257
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I think so? Yeah.

258
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: A guy that's you know, he has grind in there,

259
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 4: put his nose in there, the propensity to block well

260
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: on the outside in the running game. So he's got

261
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: that skill set in him. But again, inevitably, one or

262
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: two of these guys that doesn't make the practice squad,

263
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: that doesn't make the regular season roster, one of these

264
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: two guys is gonna get cut and released. And these

265
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 4: are guys that probably would make a lot of other

266
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL.

267
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that is Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. And

268
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: don't forget one short week ago today as we speak,

269
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: Mate was on the back of his camper with a

270
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: lawn chair, his shirt off, some gene shorts, getting ready

271
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: for a big race.

272
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: And look at you.

273
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: Now, what was what was that? That Twitter handle Indy

274
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: five hundred pictures? I love it. I didn't make that account,

275
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: so that's that's how you know it was a success account.

276
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: Somebody showed me that.

277
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 4: I just had to but between Carved Day Memorial Day, Like,

278
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: that's the best account ever on Twitter the history of

279
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: the end.

280
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: You won't see Mate in that, but I'd love it

281
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: if you did, I'd love it. Hey, we're brought to

352
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 6: able to relax a little bit and then starting to

353
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 6: get back into training and then have been you know,

354
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 6: heavenly man back. You know, at first I was like, yeah,

355
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 6: I might need this break, But then since i've been back,

356
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 6: I've been pretty excited, you know, looking forward to the

357
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 6: new year, and you're itching.

358
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: I can tell right now, Matt Taylor, he's itching. He's

359
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: happy to be back, happy to be out on the

360
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: practice field like your teammates doing this voluntary mini camp.

361
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: Definitely, you know, being with the new staff, you know,

362
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 6: just kind of bringing in that new offense a little bit.

363
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: But it's been awesome, man, Joint.

364
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: I just want to ask you real quick, because I

365
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: looked at your career in the NFL up to this point,

366
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: which one.

367
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: Do you like more?

368
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Do you like Kansas City game to two receptions two

369
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: touchdowns or do you like the Pittsburgh game where you

370
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: went crazy? But I think it was nine receptions, eight

371
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: receptions for nine almost one hundred yards in that one.

372
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: So I mean you're talking about a rookie tight end, Matt,

373
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: and that was a hell of a two games. Out

374
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: of the seventeen games that Jolani was in.

375
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 6: I was definitely I would probably pick the Steelers game

376
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 6: just because of the moment that was outside of the game.

377
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 6: You know, being Monday night and been on national television.

378
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 6: I was able to you know, produce a product and

379
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 6: that was you know, worthwhile for me. And then my

380
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 6: whole family was there too, So that was probably my

381
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 6: my biggest you know game, I was saying, going.

382
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: Along with what Jeffrey was talking about, how much more

383
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: comfortable do you feel coming back into the building for

384
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: the start of your sophomore season, just in terms of

385
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: the feeling you have not as a rookie where you're

386
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: doing everything for the first time, you're stepping into the

387
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: building for the first time. Just how much more at

388
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: ease do you feel now that you're taking that big

389
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: jump from a first year guy to a second year

390
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: guy veteran status wise.

391
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: Oh, it's one hundred percent.

392
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 6: This is a big difference, Like now since I know

393
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 6: pretty much everything that's going on, yeah, and I know

394
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 6: just the defenses, I know the offenses. I know pretty

395
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 6: much the offense, and it's just like you know, it's

396
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 6: it's just like a whole one age now. So now

397
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: I feel one hundred percent comfortable. I feel to play fast.

398
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 6: I don't have to think too much, you know, and

399
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 6: just hone in on the details.

400
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: Now, learning the office.

401
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: That's Jolanie Woods Colts tight End and you come back

402
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: here and you're introduced to your new head coach, you're

403
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: introduced to your new offensive coordinator and Jim Bob Cooter.

404
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: If you could also about some of the meetings you

405
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: have with them and what they kind of project for

406
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: you in your sophomore campaign.

407
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: It's the means are.

408
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 6: It's intense because it's very very very detailed, and he

409
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 6: knows exactly what he wants and he knows exactly how

410
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 6: he likes it. You know, we hit everything to a t.

411
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 6: It's pretty awesome honestly because you know, it just makes

412
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 6: you a better player. You're learning every day, just the

413
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 6: minute stuff that you do. He's able to point it out,

414
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: like you turn your tot cern round the route it

415
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 6: did takes your whole body, which might throw off the

416
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 6: leverage that you need to.

417
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 5: Plan or whatever like that. Like he sees all that stuff.

418
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 6: You know, it makes you want to critique yourself even

419
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: more to try to produce a good product for him

420
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 6: to put on tape and stuff like that. So you know,

421
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 6: on a day to day basis, that's kind of what

422
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 6: you've been going through with coach Shane and coach Bob

423
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 6: just the offense stuff. Learning from him and even my

424
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 6: position coach coach Tom Manning. He knows everything with the game.

425
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: He been around a lot of good tight ends and

426
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 6: stuff like that, so just learning from him as well

427
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 6: has been awesome.

428
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: One final question about last year in your rookie season

429
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: and stuff. Stuff like last year happens. It was an

430
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: abnormal season for the Colts, but that's life in the NFL.

431
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for you as your rookie season, your first taste

432
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: of the league, head coach gets fired, interim coach comes in,

433
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: all these different quarterbacks on a week to week basis,

434
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: How did that most affect you as you try to

435
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 4: get your feet wet and get indoctrinated into the NFL.

436
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: Uh.

437
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 6: You know a lot of teams and a lot of

438
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 6: people always tell you, you know it's going to be you know,

439
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 6: everything's a business in the NFL, and it's gonna be

440
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: a lot of adversity.

441
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: So just try to and you saw that early, yes, and.

442
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 6: Just try to pretty much hone in on something you

443
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 6: can do to help the situation, I guess, and like

444
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 6: for me, it was just trying to up my game

445
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 6: and show the coaches that I can be reliable.

446
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: Tool for the offense and things in that nature like that.

447
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 6: You know, it's just it's a of course, it's a

448
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 6: tough you know deal, but at the end of the day,

449
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 6: you just have to, you know, keep put pushing, keep

450
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 6: tracking along and trying to find the best outcome you

451
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 6: can out of it.

452
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: Drew Ogletree coming back this year after injury, guy, you

453
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: came in with rookie campaign, learning from a veteran like

454
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: mo Aley Cox. What's this room look like to you?

455
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: This year? Room is awesome?

456
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: Honestly, like I said, so much experience now since we

457
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 6: you know, kind of got up Jews gonna when he

458
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: come back, he's going to be, you know, back on

459
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 6: ten already because he knows the whole offense. He's been here,

460
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 6: so mentally he got everything down back now he just

461
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 6: has to physically do it.

462
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: And then you know, mo just a vet.

463
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 6: We learned still learning from him, especially since he's been

464
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 6: with coach Tom Manner already. So he helps us with

465
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 6: everything and what Coach Tom Manning expects, He you know,

466
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 6: gets us it like y'all you need to do this, this,

467
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 6: this and that. This is how he is so you know,

468
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 6: you know, he gives us the key and the tools

469
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 6: for that and then you know.

470
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 5: Like you just a big brother honestly. So yeah, that's

471
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: just kind of how it is.

472
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Staying with it.

473
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: How close did you guys get last year, both rookies,

474
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 4: both young titands? How close did you guys get that bond?

475
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: And then for you how how tough was it to

476
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 4: see him go through that ac all after the start

477
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: that he was off to at training camp.

478
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 6: Honestly it was we got really close. Of course, you

479
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 6: know everybody seeing it on the document the close thing

480
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 6: media thing, but.

481
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, we was really close.

482
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 6: And then seeing him get hurt it was kind of

483
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 6: you know, upsetting and everything, because you don't never want

484
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 6: to see somebody having such a great start and then boom,

485
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 6: something like that happened. You know, once he got the injury,

486
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 6: he kind of went through that a little bit and

487
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 6: he was able to walk back walk and everything like that,

488
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 6: and we was on the field watching he was critiquing

489
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 6: me on everything that he's seen that he wanted me

490
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 6: to do or you know, congratulate me.

491
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

492
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 6: Thing, so like you know, it was just somebody that

493
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 6: was an extra, you know, ear extra mount on my

494
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 6: air day whatever, to help me keep going and pushing

495
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 6: anything like that. And then now since he's back, I

496
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 6: could be able to do the same thing for him,

497
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 6: especially since he's probably gonna be going through it for

498
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: the first time, so I could be able to, you know,

499
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 6: get that back to him.

500
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: I mean, those those first couple of weeks, I mean

501
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 4: you saw it like this guy's got it. I mean,

502
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 4: it was not a big learning curve for him to

503
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 4: get up to speed in the NFL. I mean, how

504
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: do you look at that? How does the rest of

505
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: the locker room look at him coming back? Is that

506
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: like an extra draft pick this year considering he just

507
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: wasn't on the field?

508
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 6: Really honestly, Yeah, it's just like you know that he

509
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 6: got those tools, so now it's just him being comfortable

510
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 6: and being him being able to regain that type of

511
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 6: momentum ability back.

512
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: Honestly, what people are talking about you, Julani as far

513
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: as being a young rookie making an impact on the

514
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: field and what is coming up for you? And people

515
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 2: are talking about a couple of the big games we

516
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 2: talked about earlier, Casey and Pittsburgh. But what do you think,

517
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: what's the cap on you do you think as far

518
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: as we talked about it, and it's not a joking matter,

519
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: the mismatch is a real thing with this cat because

520
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: your size, your agility, your speed, especially in the red zone.

521
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 5: What it is.

522
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: What do you expect out of yourself this sophomore year?

523
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: I definitely expect big things.

524
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 6: I feel like this year should be another step forward,

525
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 6: a big step forward. And I feel like as long

526
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 6: as I keep doing what I'm doing, keep trying to focus,

527
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 6: keep trying to.

528
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 5: Get better every day, it should be very exciting.

529
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: But your noses in that playbook, I know that game

530
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: you're different from last year. Coin, I understand that, But

531
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: do you ever have time yourself or with your crew

532
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: that's around you, you know, team Jilanie Woods to look

533
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: at other tight ends in the NFL, al successful tight

534
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: ends in the NFL, Guys that are your size in

535
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 2: the NFL doing what they do. Do you learn from others?

536
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 6: Most definitely like Darren Walla, even though he's not exactly

537
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 6: in mind type, some of the things he do, like

538
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 6: attacking the ball or being physical on the top of

539
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: his route and things like that, is you know, you want.

540
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: To explain that, explain that to the NFL fan being

541
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: physical on the top of his.

542
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 6: Route, so like, you know, one thing that I pretty

543
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 6: much did over the past, you know, last year, and

544
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 6: then the offense was around like costing routes and sometimes

545
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 6: the safeties play man and they might think you're not

546
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 6: fast and they might sit at fifteen to twenty yards

547
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: on you and being able to you know, attack vertically

548
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 6: at him kind of you know, put the pressure on

549
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 6: their toe thinking I'm gonna go vertical and then break

550
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 6: a you know, crossing route across the face and then

551
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 6: them kind of trying to stick on you at the

552
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 6: same time and then have been able to contest the

553
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 6: catches or anything like that, being able to you know,

554
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 6: put your body on.

555
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: You in a good mood up.

556
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: But when you know you got a safety on his

557
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: heels and you could, oh, definitely he's waiting to go

558
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: left or go deep, and I'm gonna playhim either way.

559
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 6: Definitely, that's like advantage Jelana, definitely because they don't know

560
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 6: what you're gonna do. And then I ran a couple

561
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: of sales last year, so I didn't know if I'm

562
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 6: gonna break out. I ran a lot of crossers last

563
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: year and then I ran a lot of verticals, so

564
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 6: they just being able to put all three together on

565
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 6: the same type of stem and just you know, make

566
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 6: them scared pretty much. They don't know which way I'm

567
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 6: gonna go this and that. So that's something that Darren

568
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 6: Waller does really well.

569
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: I like what you said there, make them scared, all.

570
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 4: Right, here's one I look this up. Okay, last year,

571
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 4: Jalannie Woods is our guests. By the way, you had

572
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: four catches last season over twenty five yards, second most

573
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: among all rookie tight ends last season. How much can

574
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 4: you exploit that part of your game into.

575
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: A new offense?

576
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: With Shane Steiking, I feel like that's just a start,

577
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 6: honestly with him, you got some similarities in the offense,

578
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 6: of course, come from the family tree, of course, so

579
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 6: you know him already kind of knowing that just being

580
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 6: him possibly being able to implement and in the same

581
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 6: type of roles anyway, and me just you know, attacking

582
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: those roles like I did before and just trying to

583
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: keep going.

584
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: The best part about you is again your athleticism, your height,

585
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 4: your speed, agility, all that, but you like to mix

586
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 4: it up.

587
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: You are a willing blocker as they like to say.

588
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: In that regard, how did you get better throughout the

589
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 4: course of your rookie season in the running game as

590
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 4: a blocking tight end?

591
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 6: Just had this side work. Honestly, this side work was

592
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 6: Clayton at the time. He helped me, you know, get

593
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 6: more leverageable. And then he helped me because he was

594
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 6: always like, all right, you're good with attacking, but just

595
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 6: fitting and hands and feet where that we needed to

596
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 6: work on. It was like, like you said, I was,

597
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 6: I'm willing to do it to text somebody, but it

598
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 6: was just put my hat in the right place, my hands,

599
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 6: my feet in the right place, and just try to

600
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 6: keep consistently building those days and then you know it

601
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 6: can be natural. It won't be something meat I'm thinking

602
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 6: about doing.

603
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: I just got one more I got to end with.

604
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it involves your athleticism. And by the way, folks,

605
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: this is a large athlete, one of the premier athletes

606
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: in the world. These guys are, and I remind you

607
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: watch Joelanie Woods on the field, watch what he does.

608
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: But let's have a little one on one tournament on

609
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: the basketball field for that wide, for for that tight end.

610
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: Room who comes out winning that one you.

611
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm definitely saying, well, they probably need to get basketball field.

612
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: What did I say, basketball?

613
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 5: That might be good competition.

614
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: He's got something like he's got resumes at the second

615
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 2: highest level.

616
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 6: And I could have played college. And I'll be telling

617
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: I tell them all the time. I know you turn,

618
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 6: I just told his quarterback because you know it was

619
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 6: just say that you chose what chose quarterback?

620
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: Quarterback?

621
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 5: That's right?

622
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: Do you miss playing quarterback, Titan?

623
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 5: I'll say titand more fine. Tight end is way more fine.

624
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: You don't need to confirm it, Deny, Are you the

625
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: emergency quarterback last year for this team?

626
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 3: Were you yes or no?

791
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: the financial dreams. NFL big story and well it does

792
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: have a Patriot angle to it, and or say he

793
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: is going up there in the middle of summer with

794
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: that Olive branch up there. So let's talk about the

795
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: New England Patriots Captain Matthew Slater.

796
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: I would say, he's on. Boy.

797
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: How do I say this? Is he a Hall of Famer?

798
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm gonna ask. He's been great.

799
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker's been great. There's been a couple others that

800
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: are just known as special team aces, and Matthew Slater

801
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: keeps showing up in New England and doing great jobs

802
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: and going to Pro Bowls every year. He's got ten

803
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: of them. They're an NFL record for a special teams player. Well, anyway,

804
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: Slater criticized the league for last week's rule change that

805
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: allows fair catches on kickoffs for next season. We got

806
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: into that last week. The NFL has cited player safety

807
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: as primary reason for the change, which Slater says, I

808
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: don't know about this right. He referenced Thursday Night Football

809
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: choosing synthetic turf over natural grass field For a player

810
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: like me, I wouldn't add the career most likely without

811
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: this play. He's talking about the kickoffs. I also understand

812
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 2: that the players came before me Ve Taskers, the Bill Bates,

813
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: who were able to establish themselves and have careers in

814
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: this league because of the special teams game and the

815
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: kicking game. Slater question the NFL's interpretation of the concussion data.

816
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: We all know data can be skewed and projected in

817
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: any way you want to slice it up. Slater said,

818
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: it's clear to me that they're making an effort to

819
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: eradicate this play.

820
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: What say you, mate, Is he right?

821
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: Ah?

822
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if I necessarily side with Slater, but

823
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: I certainly understand where he's coming from, because, like we

824
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 4: said last week, when it comes to this rule and

825
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: fans if they see a returner wave their hands in

826
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: the air and signal for a fair catch and the

827
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 4: ball goes to the twenty five yard line. I don't

828
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 4: think anybody's going to lose their minds at that point.

829
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 4: It's essentially a touchback. And we've become so immune to

830
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 4: touchbacks because of how commonplace they are, we really don't

831
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: think too much about it. But I do understand where

832
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: Slater's coming from because it does take some of the

833
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 4: strategy out of the game. And I agree with him

834
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: in and that you know, when when there's not a

835
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 4: fair catch on a kickoff, then it's just a kickoff.

836
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: Like then, still just as risky of a play as

837
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: it always is.

838
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: Hey, say, follow me on this. Let's say they're deep

839
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: man on any team this upcoming year is at the

840
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: four yard line. That's their deep guy. He's not on

841
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: the goal line. He's at the four because he knows

842
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: like a pooch is coming type of thing, possibly right,

843
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: and if that's the case, may take. He's like, Hey,

844
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the ten yard head start on this thing.

845
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to beat these guys. Does it

846
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: promote more kick returners at the five six four yard

847
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: line and they're saying, hey, it's a short kick. I'm

848
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: taking it out and my pants are on fire because

849
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: I'm going as fast as I can, as violently as

850
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: I Okay, what.

851
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have, what I think is gonna happen,

852
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 4: is you're gonna have more squibs. You're gonna have more

853
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: squib kicks to prevent teams from signaling for a fair catch.

854
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: Once it hits the dirt. You can't fair catch a

855
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: live ball, right.

856
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 4: And I think you're gonna have special teams coordinators that

857
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 4: look at this rule, and there's a lot of them

858
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 4: that say, we weren't in favor of it.

859
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: We don't like this. So a way to combat it is.

860
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna swib the make you return it because we

861
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 4: have confidence and trust in our coverage teams that can

862
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 4: get you down prior to the twenty five yard line

863
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 4: and play field position. Now, the question is how much

864
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: safer is that for the game our squip kick is

865
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 4: gonna be more dangerous? I mean, I don't know the

866
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 4: answer to that. Time's gonna tell on it. But again

867
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 4: I do see Slater's side of this, because the NFL

868
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: does do some things that are seemingly not of the

869
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: best interest of player safety. And he has carved out

870
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 4: a fantastic career on special teams and has made life

871
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: changing money because of it. And if we continue to

872
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 4: make strides of eliminating the kicking game in the NFL,

873
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: players like him, And then if you just look at

874
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: it from a Colts angle, like the Ashton Doolan's of

875
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 4: the world, the George Odoms and the Andy Studebakers of

876
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 4: years gone by, E J. Speeds of the world, Matt

877
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: Adam Zyer, Franklin, Tony Brown, the list kind of goes

878
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: on and on. Some of these Colts great special teams

879
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 4: players over the years, they may have been out of

880
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 4: a job and not been able to carve out great

881
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 4: careers without getting the chance to break into the league

882
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: and prove their worth on either offense or defense by

883
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 4: playing special teams. So I think it's a very complicated issue,

884
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 4: to say.

885
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 2: The least, get ready for it, because it's gonna be

886
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: either kicked out of the end zone, squib kicked, or

887
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: a lot of hands rising up into the air. And

888
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Hey, I'm taking the first down

889
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: at the nineteen art I.

890
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: Don't think you're gonna see a lot of traditional kicks

891
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 4: taken from the one yard line of the goal line.

892
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

893
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be one of those three things,

894
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: squibbed touchbacks or fair catch, fair catch.

895
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: It's coming.

896
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: Rules are changing for player safety. Matthew Slater doesn't agree

897
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 2: with it, regardless. He's a great player and the coach

898
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: will see him in Germany this year.

899
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. He's the best in

900
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: the business.

901
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: This young man works tirelessly through the offseason and in season,

902
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: and may tey, I don't say that enough.

903
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 3: You are the best in the business.

904
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: And we're lucky to have youwise man like, Hey, we.

905
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: Are the last word every Friday coming at you. I

906
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 2: think there's a race this weekend in Detroit. Good luck

907
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: to all the IndyCar racers out there. Back to back
