Speaker 1: truth of trash question to start the show, mo alei

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Cox tight end three or more targets on Sunday, Truth

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: or Trash. I'll be honest with you, Mo. Like the

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: two out of the last three times the football has

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: been thrown to him I don't know if he's known

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: where the ball was anybody else, right, I mean, there

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: was it looks like to be a route that was

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: run inaccurately a couple of weeks ago. And then of

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: course it looked like that there was a window glare

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: that he struggled with when the ball was in flight

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: last weekend. So I two out of the last three

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: times or so, it kind of seems that MO has

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: had a struggle while the ball has been in the air.

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: But anyway, three or more targets from MO coming up

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Texans at JMB ten seventy. That's

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: tis truth or trash meantime. As we start always, head

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: coach Frank Wright joins the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor,

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: in preparation for the week thirteen matchup. Matt, all right,

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: thank you, jam beats time now for the head coaches

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: report with Frank Reich and coach. Last week obviously a

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: tough loss and emotional game to the Buccaneers. How have

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you seen the team refocus this week and bounce back

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: with energy heading into a really important division game Before

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you hit the buy really seen in meetings on the

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: practice field, just dialed in knowing we have an important

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: road division game AFC game, you know, for us to

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: get where we want to go. These AFC games carry

44
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: double importance. It's a division game that you know carries

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: double importance. So guys have been locked in. You know,

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: I want to go back to last week real quick

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: on this. I know you were able to meet Lenny

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Moore last week, the great Hall of Fame Baltimore Colt

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: running back. He was honored by the Colts last Sunday.

50
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: He met with Jonathan Taylor as well before the game.

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: What was it like having one of the great Colts

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: of all time around the team last week before that game?

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: I was really special, you know, I remember those days.

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: And for me it was even more special because Lenny

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Moore played with my dad at Penn State, so Matt

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: meant a lot to me. But it's really here's a

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: guy who was just a fantastic player, and of course

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: I get I've gotten to hear stories about him, you know,

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: my whole life and understand what kind of a great

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: persons as well. Absolutely, really really cool moment right there.

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: But but going back to the game at hand, you know,

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the five turnovers last week that was really uncharacteristic of

63
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: your team. And really it was only four turnovers because

64
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: wipe out the hill Mary pick there at the end.

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: But I know turnovers were really frustrating last week in

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the loss. What makes you think that last Sunday was

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: an aberration in terms of the turnovers and this offense

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: can go back to taking care of the ball like

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: it has pretty much all season long. I mean, just

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: for that reason, Matt, I mean, because we've been good

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: at it all year. This has been on the one

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: game where it just got away from us, and you know,

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: we were really from the second quarter on felt like

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: they had no answers. As far as Tampa, we were

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: moving the ball pretty much at will, but the only

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: thing was thous turnovers. So we got to take care

77
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: of the football and you know, and continue to execute

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: at a high level. All Right, you played the Texans

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: back in week number six. That feels like forever ago.

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: You won the game thirty one to three. But they're

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit different now. They've got David Johnson and

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead as their focus in the running game. Tyrod

83
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Taylor's now at quarterback. They've shuffled some players around on

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: their offensive line. How do those changes make for a

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: different challenge compared to the first meeting. Yeah, no, they

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: are a different team. You know, they've just gotten better.

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: They've beaten some good teams. Tyrod Taylor at quarterback is

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: a that's the big switch. He's an accomplished veteran who's

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: won his share of games. You know, he's really dangerous

90
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, and he's really a good deep

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: ball thrower. And you know, and as you mentioned, the

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: two running backs are both good players. And then Brandon

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Cooks to get the ball deep too, so really good

94
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: test force. And then their defense they're playing some good

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: football too. Coming into this game. They've allowed only seventeen

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: points on average in the last three They forced eleven

97
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: turnovers in that spin. I think that's the most in

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. What subtle differences do you see in the

99
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: Texans defense compared to that first go round? Lovey Smith's

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: first year as their coordinator, I just think, listen, this

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: guy's one of the top nots coordinators in the league.

102
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: He has a lot of years of experience, and it's

103
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: a question I think of him getting his guys adjusted

104
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: to the system and the scheme and all the nuances,

105
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: you know of it. So they're very disciplined, they're very

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: good at taking the ball away. They got some really

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: talented pass rushers up front, so this will be a

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: good test force. You know. Coach is always fun. I mean,

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: it's it's no secret t Y Hilton he loves to

110
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: play the Texans, specifically down there. He's averaging over one

111
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards per game in ten career games at NRG Stadium.

112
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: But just how much do you appreciate what Ty is

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: doing this year. He's fought through a lot of injuries

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: and he's being the mentor to the young cast of

115
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: receivers around him, and obviously every time he's available, he

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: brings everything that he has and you can just always

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: rely on what t Y Hilton brings to the table

118
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: every single Sunday. There's no doubt it's fun to see him,

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: you know, kind of even getting productive again out on

120
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the field, you know, coming back from his injury and

121
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: he and Carson starting to connect. But I'm really glad

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: you brought up what you did. It's what he's doing,

123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, from a leadership role as well. That's equally important.

124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: How he's mentoring those young receivers. You know, really being

125
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: a leader for them. But then not just that really

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: are and not even just our offense, but our whole team.

127
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: Everybody responds to t Y. He's got this special fire

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: and competitive spirit about him that we all feed off of.

129
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: So you know, he's our captain of the week this week,

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: he'll represent us, you know, down there, and I know

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: all the guys are going to want to have his

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: back and put on a good showing for him. And

133
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: speaking of young receivers, Ashton Doling, I know we him,

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: talked about him on Monday. He made a sensational play

135
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: on that touchdown against Tampa Bay. But he's leading the

136
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: NFL and special teams tackles and then making plays on offense.

137
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: Has your trust in him? Has that grown over the

138
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: course of the season. Yeah, I've been in Ashton's corner.

139
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: A lot of us have been for a little bit now,

140
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: just thinking this guy has a lot of upside as

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: a receiver, as a special teams player, He's always been great.

142
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: And I think what's helped Matt is that Carson really

143
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: connected with Ashton early, you know, really early, I would say,

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: even the little bit in training camp, the Carson practice

145
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and then once Carson started practicing a little bit. Just

146
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: watching Ashton. He's got a lot of confidence in him.

147
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. You know, you got to have

148
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback's confidence in Ashton's done a good job at

149
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: winning that over from Carson. All Right, it's the last

150
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: game before the bye. It's been a grueling stretch of

151
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: thirteen straight games, I mean, really no significant time off

152
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: since the team reported in late July for training camp. Coach,

153
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: what's your message to the team this week to avoid

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: a letdown before a week off and also knowing again

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: the margin for air with five games to go, it's

156
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: pretty small. That's exactly what the message was, Matt. I mean,

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: the margin of air over five games is it's very small.

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: And you know this is a division road game. I mean,

159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: so essentially there's no margin of error on this game.

160
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, we know we're playing a good team. When

161
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: you play a division team, all records you know they're

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: two and nine, are we're six and six? Throw those

163
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: records out. We got to go take care of business.

164
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: We got to play our style of football, We got

165
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to play together. We know we're playing a good team

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: that we respect, so we just want to go out

167
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: and execute for sixty minutes, all right, and then also

168
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: what's what's fun about this game and unique about the game.

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday it is the the My Cause, My Cleats game.

170
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Guys are wearing special cleats to highlight the charity work

171
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: that they're involved with, you know, those special initiatives that

172
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: are close to their heart. And obviously you have a

173
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: great initiative that's close to your heart as well. Not

174
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: necessarily cleats for you, but I know you're going to

175
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: be highlighting the great work that you're doing with the

176
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Not Today Foundation. Yeah, I'm very excited about that. Thanks

177
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: for mentioning, Matt. I mean, I'll be wearing Not Today's shoes.

178
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: That's our family foundation, and we're really trying to protect

179
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: the beauty and innocence childhood, really protecting children from sexual abuse, exploitation,

180
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and trafficking. And I'm really proud of our guys. You

181
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: know how everybody's picked out their cause, and you know,

182
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: it really just shows how important, you know, some of

183
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: these off the field issues are, and guys are really

184
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: trying to give back. Each one of us are trying

185
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: to get back in ways that we can that can help,

186
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: that can help people in the indeed are coach lastly

187
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: closing out just a few keys to this game as

188
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: you see it for the Colts to come out on

189
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: top in Houston Week number thirteen. Well, first, as you

190
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: alluded to it earlier, Matt, you know, we've got to

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: get the turnover ratio thing back in our favor like

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: we've been doing all year long. So that's going to

193
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: be a big deal. You know. Secondly, we old school

194
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: football right here. We got to run and stop to run.

195
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, I really believe that, you know, Houston's mindset

196
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: is going to be to run the ball on us

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: um and you know, and we and you know we

198
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: want to run the ball. So sure, we're going to

199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: mix it up, We're going to take our shots down

200
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the field, so on, so forth. But at the heart

201
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: and soul of who we are is we want to

202
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: run it and uh and so we're we're going to

203
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: have to be good in both of those areas. And

204
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: then you know, really on special teams front, I've really

205
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: been pleased with how we've been playing, the consistency in

206
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: which we've been playing, and how disciplined and aggressive. So

207
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's later in the year sometimes you get

208
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: some crazy things on special teams play, so we got

209
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: to play with great awareness so that if Houston tries

210
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: anything crazy against us, that we can snuff it out. Indeed,

211
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: that's Frank Reich, the head coach of the Colts on

212
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the head Coaches report before the Colts battle the Texans

213

262
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Before we look ahead to the Texans. Unfortunately, I don't

263
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: want to take you back too much. But when you

264
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: have a loss like Sunday, right, you always hear about

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: the twenty four hour rule. Jack, How tough is it

266
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: to overcome a loss like that? When you have to

267
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: flush that game out of your system pretty quickly onto

268
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: the next one. Yeah, it is tough. It is tough.

269
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Obviously we wanted that one, but you know, it gives

270
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: you an extra boost coming in here and getting ready

271
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: for the Texans, and obviously it gives you another boost

272
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: being a division game. You know, those are always tough

273
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: ones and you got to bring your a game. I'm

274
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: so we're excited for the challenges next week. And you're

275
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: a pros pro jack, this is here number nine for you.

276
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: How have you improved in that regard when it comes

277
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: to compartmentalizing the big wins and getting over the tough losses. Yeah,

278
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: you just I've come to realize just how long of

279
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: a season it is. And you, you know, coach always

280
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: does it. You know, throughout the season, throughout a game.

281
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: Even you can't ride the ebbs and flows of the season,

282
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: it would just tear you apart. You no matter when

283
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: lose or draw, or a good game or a bad game,

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: or good play or a bad play, you got to

285
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: just move on to the next play and put everything

286
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: you can into the details of trying to make that

287
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: the best game you've ever played, and make that the

288
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: best play you've ever played, you know, you just you

289
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: just keep moving on and doing one step at a time.

290
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: That's so well said. When did you learn that? At

291
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: what point in your career did you start to be

292
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more stable in terms of the mental

293
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: mindset throughout a sixteen seventeen game regular season schedule? Yeah,

294
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: I think you try it. You know, you hear it

295
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: early on, and you try um to do it, and

296
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: you do it in spurts, you know, and and I

297
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I could put an

298
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: exact pin point on it, um, but you just try

299
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: to keep, you know, improving at it every year. I

300
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I'm perfect at it now, you know. And

301
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: and you just keep trying to improve at it and

302
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: and and focus on you know, one step, one detail

303
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: at a time, and all all that really matters is

304
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: the next thing you gotta do. All that really matters

305
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: in my week right now is knocking out this interview

306
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: with you, and then I'm gonna go get lunch. You know,

307
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: That's all that mat is right this time. So you

308
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: just try to take it one step at a time,

309
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: and and and you know, I feel like I'm I'm

310
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: being the best met when I'm when I'm doing that, well,

311
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time there from Jack Doyle before lunch

312
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: time here at Colts, tight end is with us. And

313
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: I know this is a loaded question, especially right before

314
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: lunch Jack, but but three losses against good teams when

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: you've been up by double figures, can you pinpoint why

316
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: it's been tough to close those games out and what

317
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: you can identify as improvement areas down the stretch here? Yeah,

318
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, I think each game has been different. Um.

319
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you could pinpoint to one thing and

320
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: just say, oh, that's it, you know, let's fix that.

321
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Each game has been different in its own way. UM.

322
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: But it really just comes back down to, you know,

323
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, you gotta finish good teams off

324
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: like they're good teams. Like you said, against good teams,

325
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: they're good teams for a reason. UM. And you know,

326
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: we just we just gotta, you know, take it one

327
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: play at a time, you know, not looking in the past,

328
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: not looking in the future, just just just all we

329
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: gotta do is pour everything into each play. UM. And

330
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I think we will do that. I think we'll continue

331
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: to get better at that, UM, because that's that's the

332
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: that's the process that Frank does such a good job

333
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: of putting us through is getting better as the season

334
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: goes on, and that that's what you want to be doing.

335
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to be hit your peak and you

336
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: know in late October you want to hit your peak

337
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: and in December and January. So so that's that that's

338
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: our goal and that's what we're hoping to do. That's

339
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle Colts tied in with us. He's coming off

340
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: a big game eighty one yards receiving against Tampa Bay. Jack,

341
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: what went into your big game? What was it about

342
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: the Tampa defense that allowed you specifically to capitalize on them? Yeah,

343
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I we do such a good job

344
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: as an offense of spreading the ball around and Carson

345
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: us such a good job of that. And we've done

346
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: a good job of that since Frank got here, um

347
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: and trusting a lot of different guys. So it's kind

348
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: of a week by week thing, I feel like, you know,

349
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: and you just you try to be in the right spots, um,

350
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, and be in the right spots for Carson

351
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: and and um, you know that the ball just happened

352
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: to find me a few more times this week, and

353
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: you just never know how it's gonna go going into

354
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: the game. Um, but that's just how it went. Yeah,

355
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: but that's just But you've been targeted seventeen times in

356
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: the last three games. Jack, I know you're a big diva, right,

357
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, so you're going to Carson Winson, You're saying,

358
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: throw me the ball, bro, I'm tired of it. Yeah

359
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: that sounds like yeah, No, honestly, yeah, it really is,

360
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: just like you just try to be in the right

361
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: spots and the ball comes, you try and catch it.

362
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: You know. That's that's that's the model I try to

363
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: take and um and um, that's just the way, like

364
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: I said, that's just the way this offense set up

365
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: because we have such good players. Um, you know in

366
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the tight end room, we have such good players at

367
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver that the ball gets spread around and it

368
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: keeps defense on their heels, you know. Um, then I'm

369
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: just trying to take away one guy. Um. So, so

370
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I think it helps us and makes us a better offense,

371
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Jack Doyle with us, he's not

372
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: the diva, by the way, He's one of the better

373
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: locker room guys. The Colts have And speaking of that,

374
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: you're always one of the best blocking tight ends in

375
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the game every year, Jack, How rewarding is it for

376
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: you to block for a guy like Jonathan Taylor? What

377
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: is that like? Blocking for him and then seeing that

378
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: number twenty eight zip passed you down the fields. It's

379
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: not a better feeling, you know, to have to to

380
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: make a block and you feel the guy, you know,

381
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: obviously it's Jonathan a lot. The guy go buy you

382
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: and knowing your block helps him, you know, get some

383
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: more yards. That's that's football in a nutshell to me,

384
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: That's what's all about. UM. And Jonathan so great at

385
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: being just a team guy and like and just wanting

386
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: to be a part of it, just wanting to help

387
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: in any way he can. And he's so freaking good.

388
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: It's just like he's he sometimes feels like he's not

389
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: real because he's so good and the way he carries

390
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: himself and the character he has is something that you know,

391
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: this city is lucky to have, you know, the NFL

392
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: is lucky to have Um. You know, you can't say

393
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: enough good things about Jonathan. He truly is, He truly

394
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: is one of the kind No there's I mean, you're

395
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: exactly right. I mean we all thought, i mean, I'm

396
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: interested from your perspective last year as a rookie coming

397
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: in Jack, I'm sure you thought he would be good,

398
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: But did you think he would be this good in

399
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: year number two? For him? You know, initially, you know

400
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: he kind of got obviously got thrown in, you know,

401
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: probably earlier than then. You know, the Colts wanted to

402
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: throw him in with Marlin going down with one last year,

403
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: um with the Achilles, but you know, he, you know,

404
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: he and and then it was like, oh, you know

405
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, people didn't think he was playing

406
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: really good. But you know the guy had no no

407
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: preseason games, you know, had no off season, like and

408
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: we just expected him, Oh, I'll go out there and

409
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: you know all this. And then he got going as

410
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: a year as him, you know, as everybody, you get

411
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: more reps, that's the only way to get better. And

412
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: he he put the work in the time in you know,

413
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: you know, he's always out there catching extra passes and

414
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: expanding his game that way. Um, you know he and

415
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: then you saw him in that groove. And then once

416
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: he's gotten that groove, Um, yeah, you know, I would say, yeah,

417
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: this year I expected him to, you know, maybe not

418
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: be like he is, you know, but you expected big

419
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: You expected big things out of him just because of

420
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: the way he works and what he you know, the

421
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: attention to detail he puts in and then obviously just

422
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: his ability, and you expected good things and uh, and

423
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: he's proven. He's proven that, you know, and going above expectations,

424
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Jack Doyle right there, Colt's tied

425
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: ending with us in Jack. Obviously, every season it's a grind.

426
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: But how grueling of a season has this been for you?

427
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Thirteen straight games without a week off and really it's

428
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: been longer than that when you factoring training camp. You

429
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: guys reported the camp in late July and you really

430
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: haven't had an extended period of time off since then.

431
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: How are you holding up physically right now? I'm doing good.

432
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: It's uh. It obviously is tough, um to do the

433
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, the thirteen in a row and with the

434
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: extra game. Um, you know, the bye weeks are the

435
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: bye Week's funny, like, obviously you want a lay by.

436
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help us, and but you always

437
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: just like I feel like the bye week it comes

438
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: for each guy. Each guy wants it at different times,

439
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: and it's basically when you're banged up throughout the year,

440
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's when you want it. You know, when

441
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: your team's banged up the most, you want the bye week. Um.

442
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: So you never know how that's gonna go through a season. Um,

443
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: but yeah, it'll be nice to have this late and

444
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, obviously got to take care of take care

445
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: of business this week and then going in and seeing

446

481
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: are probably out and about going to a high school

482
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: basketball game. If so, absolutely enjoy. I do want to

483
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: give you this reminder. Two got the Colts pregame huddle

484

Speaker 1: for that Week thirteen game with the Texans and the

487
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: Colts down in Houston. So ten am coming up on

488
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. And you know, we got a lot of Michigan,

489
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Iowa fans here in town. The Big

490
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: ten title game is coming at you. That's coming at

491
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: you tomorrow evening. And if you're out and about downtown

492
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: has some fun because both fan bases so far are

493
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: well represented. Meantime, we go to it with that conversation.

494
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: We love a great breakdown of the matchup with the

495
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: Texans on Sunday. Former NFL coach, current radio analyst Rick

496
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Venturie and our friend, the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor,

497
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: converse about the Texans and the Colts coming up on Sunday. Matt,

498
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Jamv. Let's roll out some inside

499
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: football with Rick Venturiy and Rick. We're gonna dive into

500
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: the blueprints and find out how the Colts win this game.

501
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Texans on offense. Gotta buy Tyrod

502
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: Taylor at quarterback. The Texans are dead last in the

503
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL and scoring, putting up less than fifteen points per game.

504
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: They've been held to under fourteen points six games this season,

505
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: including only three against the Colts way back in Week

506
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: number six. Rick. They are thirty second and rushing thirty

507
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: first and passing. They have the second most punts in

508
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: the NFL because they go three and out almost thirty

509
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: percent of the time on offense, which is the highest

510
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: rate in the NFL. Skill wise, Brandon looks at receiver,

511
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: He's having a really nice year. But other than that,

512
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: not too many playmakers on that offensive unit. It's hard

513
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: to see the Texans consistently moving the ball on the

514
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Colts in this game, Rick, despite the fact that they

515
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: do have Taylor at quarterback. Now, No, I think you're right,

516
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: but I think what you've got to you've got to

517
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: instill in your defense, okay, is that there's a big

518
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: difference in the five games Tyrod Taylor plays and the

519
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: rest of those degrees, there's a huge difference. I mean,

520
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: like I said, in four of the five games. And

521
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm only bringing this up then because I believe when

522
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: you coach your team and you approach your team in

523
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: a game like this, you have to approach it and

524
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: you have to show your team how this team can

525
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: be at their best, not at their worst. If they're

526
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: at their worst, it's not going to be an issue,

527
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: but you've got to show them how they have upset people.

528
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: And with him at quarterback, they're two and three. They

529
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: were two and two going into last week, you know,

530
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to as bad as it looks. He had

531
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: a seventy five point three QBR against the Titans just

532
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Now that's a humongously high QBR. I

533
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: gave you all his stats before, and in four to

534
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: five that he's quarterback, they've scored twenty two plus, so

535
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: that the stat is a little bit distorted. If you

536
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: think about Taylor, I just have a lot of respect

537
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: for that kid. I just think that kid's really good

538
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: and he you know, he gives you problems. They run

539
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the NCAA stuff with him, that they didn't with Mills.

540
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: You know that is zone reads, zone keeps, naked bootlegs,

541
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: option plays, sprint out passes. I mean, you know, they

542
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: can get on the edge, and that's been our waterloo.

543
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: We I didn't even talk about that and my rant earlier,

544
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: but we have a terrible time on the edge. And

545
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: this guy's another edge type of guy. Uh. You know,

546
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: they got a couple of decent running backs and obviously

547
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: one good receiver. I think the most important thing here's

548
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: here's the key must and the big The big three

549
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: are the first three. Okay, first of all, you have

550
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: to stop the runners cold. Okay, you can't let them

551
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: get any daylight. And what you really got to do

552
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: is you really have to know both Eberfluss and the

553
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: team which running backs in the game, because when burke

554
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: Head number twenty eight is in the game, they're gonna

555
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: run right at you. They're gonna run tackle the tackle.

556
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: He's a reckless thruster that will will take it north

557
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: and south. He's had good moments in this league. Throw

558
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: out his yards per carry with this offensive line. Just

559
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: look at him what he has done at times in

560
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: the past. And we have to be very good you

561
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: got to play him from inside out with Johnson just

562
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: the office. Johnson is a finesse back, David Johnson, He's

563
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: there also their pass back on third down. He may

564
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: be best, actually, Matt when they split him out. He's

565
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: one of those backs that can split outside the formation

566
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: and actually run some routes. And to me, that's when

567
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: I've seen him at his best. I've seen him turn

568
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: down blitzers. He's disgusting at times. And I'll get into

569
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: that with the with the with the rush plan because

570
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: you know they their backs don't do a very good

571
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: job on blitz pick up. But number one, stop them cold. Okay,

572
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: if you stop the run, if you stop the run

573
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: in the and I'll get into the other and the

574
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: edge on Taylor. Now you're gonna make the worst offensive line.

575
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not backing off that in football. You know,

576
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: toon Soul isn't playing. You know they've had to They've

577
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: had to move guys out. You know, they had to

578
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: move Howard out to tackle. They are desperate and they

579
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: are bad, and you what you want to do is

580
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: you want to take away that running game and that edge,

581
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: and you want to make them throw all day and

582
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: protect number two. You got to control Taylor both as

583
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: a passer and a runner. Again, think of him as

584
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: a poor man's Deshaun Deshaun Watson. He can run all

585
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: those colleagues players, So you have to have the answer.

586
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: We've been pretty good at that against those running quarterbacks.

587
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: We've actually been pretty good, including Jackson. I mean we've

588
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: done a good job. And then you know, control his

589
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: scramble ability. I mean, he had a couple of touchdowns

590
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: last week. He again, he's had nineteen rushing touchdowns, So

591
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: this kid can get it in the end zone himself. Again,

592
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: take away that edge game, all that NCAA stuff, and

593
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: then get after him. You know, he does play short

594
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: at times. They list him at six one. I've never

595
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: thought he was quite that. He gets a lot of

596
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, batted passes, and trust me, he's under siege

597
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: with this quarterback. But you know, understand, this is a

598
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: very very good athlete who's not awed by Sunday. This

599
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: guy's played a million starts and then you know at

600
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and I always talk about

601
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: this and it's one of my criticisms. You know, I

602
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: think you always have to have a plan for their

603
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: best guy. Their top guy, and that's Cooks. I mean,

604
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: and particularly with Amndola. I just saw that he's out

605
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: for a month. They were kind of getting him back

606
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: into the game at the slot. They're gonna move Cooks

607
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: all over. I mean, he's got sixty two catches, three

608
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: TD seven H four. He'd not a speed merchant, but

609
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: he is really a classic route runner. He did get

610
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: over the top last week. You know, he can play outside,

611
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: he can play inside, and with Amndola out, I mean,

612
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna have even more burden on him because he's

613
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: not surrounded with other guys. So in the end, you

614
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: have to have a plan for him. And that doesn't

615
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: mean that I don't know. I'm not saying that you

616
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: double him every down, but when you get to crunch time,

617
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: he certainly can't if you get if you're tight in

618
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, don't let him beat him. Just like

619
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: when you play the Bucks, don't let Drunkowski free. I mean,

620
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna double him every down, but don't give

621
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: him free access into your day all day long. I mean,

622
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: that's just the borders on being disgraceful. We have to

623
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: kill their off line in protection. They've moved Howard. He's

624
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: a decent guard to left tackle now without tonsl They've

625
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: been through three guys and he struggles. Heck is a backup,

626
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: so you're really playing with two backups on the edge.

627
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Their interior is awful. Taylor now has been inserted the

628
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: left tackle. I have no idea where he's from. I'd

629
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: have to look up the reader's digest to find him.

630
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: Morrissey at center, McCrae at at the right guard. That

631
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: is the worst inside trio in a decade. Okay, so

632
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: you know you've got to be able to get ahead,

633
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: set the edge, and just attack those guys. Just get

634
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: three on three and get out for him. The other

635
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: thing is they cannot handle stunts or blitzes. If you

636
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: get up in sugar and you give them double sinks

637
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: or looks that look like inside overloads, they will turn down.

638
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: And that kid gets hit off the edge constantly. So

639
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: you know this is a game. Overload that inside. Bring

640
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: it up in there, set the edge and an occasionally overload,

641
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: and butcher safeties and nickels off the edge and it'll

642
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: be a crucifixion. So those are the key things you

643
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: have to do on defense. The readers digest. I haven't

644
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: read one of those in about twenty years. That's awesome.

645
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: They have good, clean jokes in there. I subscribe simply

646
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: when I have to make public speeches, I get some

647
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: of my funny stuff out of there. I love peeling

648
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: back your onion, man always. There's so many layers. It's

649
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: so freaking awesome. All right, let's switch over to the defense.

650
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: That's obviously the stronger of the two units right now.

651
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: For the Texans, they're giving up twenty six points per

652
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: game on this season, but like I said, Rick, they're

653
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: playing much better lately. In the last three games, they're

654
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: giving up only seventeen points per game, including thirteen to

655
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: the Titans and a win a couple of weeks ago.

656
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: And just like the Colts, they've been feasting on takeaways

657
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: to stay in these games. They have twenty takeaways for

658
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: the year, that's fifth in the NFL, but they have

659
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: eleven takeaways on defense in the last three games, including

660
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: five against Tennessee. Jonathan Grenard having a really good season

661
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: at defensive end. He's got eight sacks. Camu Gruge Hill

662
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: he's a good player in linebacker. He's emerging. He's got

663
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: seven tackles for loss on the year. And then Justin Reid.

664
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: He's always a good player at safety, but he did

665
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: not play last week because he violated team rules. He

666
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: got into an argument with head coach David Coley in

667
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: a team meeting last week, so he got set down.

668
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: So tell us more about the Texans on defense and

669
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: what challenges they pose to this Colts offense in the

670
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: second go round here. Yeah, I absolutely slaughtered him when

671
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: we got ready to play him the first time, and

672
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: I was right. But I will say that they have

673
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: made some significant changes tactically and some of their young

674
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: kids are coming on a little bit. And I would

675
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: say that the defense, though still not ford them formidable,

676
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: is definitely if you look at their stats, they're almost

677
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: all on an upward trajection. Okay, if you look at

678
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: their past defense, you know they've gone from like twenty

679
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: seventh fifteen. You know, in sacks they've gone from eighteen

680
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: to fifteen and a lot of those have been in

681
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: the last month, and so you know, and as you said,

682
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: you know they're kind of a poor man's Colts. It's

683
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: the it's the same system basically that plays with a

684
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of vision. So the twenty turnovers. You know, really

685
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: is he has them at one of the top teams

686
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: in the league. It's their survival mechanism, you know, very

687
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: much like the Colts are. So you know it's gonna

688
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to earn separation, You're gonna have to

689
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: earn your yards. It's not I don't believe. I don't

690
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: believe it will come as easy as it did, and

691
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: I hope it does, you know, that would be great.

692
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: But they've made some some strategics, you know, changes. As

693
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: I said before, they're playing they're covered two a lot

694
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: harder now with tight jams on the outside, and they're

695
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: starting to match people underneath. They're not just running out

696
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: of there the spots, and that's made them tougher a

697
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: lot of quarters and in quarter quarter a half you

698
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: know which also they match underneath and then just some

699
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: more band demand one hole. And so what that's done

700
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: is it's just made it harder for you to work

701
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: in there, and it's bought a little bit of time.

702
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: I always say that nobody understands what I say, but

703
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of times, if you close the passing lanes

704
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: quick and you make the quarterback hold it a little

705
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: bit that gives your rush that extra step. Sometimes it's

706
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: just a melosecond, but it really matters. And you know

707
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: when you look at them though, it's still to the core,

708
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: a lot of Cover three, a lot of single high

709
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: on early down with pressures from the nickel or the safety,

710
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know in second and long

711
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: it was pressure cover two, cover one, and again the

712
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty takeaway is significant and also the sack total up

713
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: recently is extremely good. Now, I think, you know, they're

714
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: very basic upfront. Other than some perimeter blitzes, they're in

715
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: over almost every down, and they are still, in my opinion,

716
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: they're really average to below average inside. I still think

717
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: that they're really you can pound right at them, pound

718
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: at Cunningham. I don't think there's any doubt that you

719
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: can get after this team. You know, we had that

720
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: huge game, uh you know rushing. I mean, Jonathan had

721
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: the big run, uh you know, but he had he

722
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: had a monster game. We had a monster game totally

723
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: against him, uh in the in the first game, and

724
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: and I think that can happen again. I think you

725
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: pound the bubble and then you expect them to stunt

726
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: to stop it. Very much like the Colts do. And

727
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: that's why the Colts get beat on the edge so much.

728
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: They're always bringing their ends down inside and teams simply

729
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: take the bubble run and bounce it to the edge.

730
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: And we've got to be ready to do that because

731
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: that's their method of stopping it. You're exactly right, grew

732
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: your hill. He has been really a playmaker. He's got stripped, sacks, picks,

733
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: passes defended. Mur You're right, you know Reid did not play,

734
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: but Murray's also been a playmaker. Mitchell two interceptions, number

735
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: twenty five, he's there one corner obviously, two picks versus

736
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: the Titans. I think Thomas is solid at the nickel.

737
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: Their biggest weakness in the coverage element is their corner,

738
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: their two corner Mitchell number thirty nine. And they really

739
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: tried to play Lonnie Johnson. He had been at safety.

740
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: They've kind of moved him back to corner, and I

741
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they make that change before we

742
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: play him. There's no real ambient front. Guys play after play.

743
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: But you've aptly said Greener absolutely really having a good

744
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: young career with eight sacks, and Martin looked very good

745
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: last week off the edge, off the right edge, so

746
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: they've got two I think legitimate edge guys Blaylock and Collins.

747
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: They don't play consistently, but if they get some momentum

748
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: they can they can get after you again. Greener, Grugier,

749
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: Hill and King and Murgard, the guys that really beat

750
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: you again, we can pound them into bubble. I think

751
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: we can read their coverage, even though they've improved it.

752
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: You can look almost down the first step. Their safeties

753
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: will tell you what they're in, whether they're in two,

754
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: four or some form of three or man. I mean

755
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: you can, you can. You know they're very predictable on

756
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: the first step. Again, if you also give them some

757
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: slots or some speeds, get your wide receivers over love

758
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: he will. He'll bring his corners over if it's man

759
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: to man. If it's zone, they'll stay home. So you

760
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: can get a lot of things. I still think they're

761
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: a soft front team and I don't think that's changed.

762
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: And I think overall they're a poor grab tackling team.

763
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: I think big players will be there, and I always say,

764
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: when you play a team like this, you know, think

765
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: think touchdowns, not first downs. Rickman Sherry right there, Matt

776
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a big moment in a game that people thought was

777
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: lost on Sunday at that moment. But Isaiah Rogers with

778
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: that big play didn't result into anything, but it was

779
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: a kickoff return that did put a little bit of

780

806
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: to Sunday's matchup in Houston. JJ, Isaiah, you're a Tampa kid,

807
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: So you get any extra love from back home after

808
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: picking up Tom Brady there, most definitely I got a

809
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: lot more love than I thought I would, you know,

810
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: from people I haven't taught to many years. You know,

811
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: that was accomplishment back home. You know a lot of

812
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: guys that I grew up with, or a diehard Tampa

813
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: Bay Books fan, and he just you know, wanted something

814
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: like that to happen, you know, for the city, and

815
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: it did. So I thought it was huge taking takes

816
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: through an interception. I mean it's a deep ball down

817
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: the sideline, you're tracking it, You're able to kind of

818
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: flip your hips kind of like you're playing center field

819
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Rays, and and you know to

820
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: come down with that ball. You I know you've said

821
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: you like having the ball in your hands, but man,

822
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just take us through that that interception. I

823
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: just you know, when I lined up Kenny, you know

824
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: you reached back out to me, you know, with the

825
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: defense and told me, you know, Scotty Millers at one

826
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: so stay high. So I just you know, respected Scotty Speed.

827
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the top guys in the league,

828
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: you know, so I stayed high as I could, and

829
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: once I seen the ball in there, you know, at

830
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: the time, we're both receivers, so I knew I had

831
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: to go get it in and I did so it

832
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: was huge. Man. Mattieberflus has said that your your growth

833
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: with some of the assignments, you know, the various things

834
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: you have to do, whether it's press, whether it's off coverage,

835
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: or that you're playing cover two, cover three, whatever it

836
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: may be, that you've really grown in that area. Is

837
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: that one of those examples on that play most definitely.

838
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: I know when I first got here, you know, he

839
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: preached a lot to me about changing a lot of

840
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: different techniques and that was one, you know, from playing

841
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: off and being able to actually stay on top and

842
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: not jump on you know, routes because the guy likes Scottie,

843
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: you'd never know who's going to run. So I think

844
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: just really just harping in on, you know, the techniques

845
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: that he taught me. You know, they played and effect

846
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: that player. You've guarded some of the best receivers in

847
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: the NFL whether it's been you know, Stefan Diggs or

848
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: Robert Woods this year, and you've had quite a bit

849
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: of success quarterbacks only of a sixty sixty five point

850
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: seven passer rating when they're throwing your way this year.

851
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: What also has kind of gone into the success you've

852
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: had in year two just coming in every game locked in,

853
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, and just studying throughout the week and with

854
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: the guys around me, just making sure I'm you know,

855
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm locked in on like keys and everything. Evenfore I

856
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: go out on the field in the rotation that we

857
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: have is just you know, they tell me, you know,

858
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: do this, do that, do this, do that. So you know,

859
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: I listened to the guys around me, because you know,

860
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: everyone around me or vets to me, so you know,

861
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: I just listen to them. Just play the game. So

862
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: how much of a resource as a guy like Xavier

863
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: Rhodes or Kenny Moore the second been to you this year?

864
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: Xavier Roads is a lot because I was a Florida

865
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: State fan growing up, so I watched him growing up

866
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: and he's from Florida as well, so you know, being

867
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 1: able to play with him, you know, as a huge

868
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: accomplishment in my life and coming in with Kenny. You know,

869
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: I was a nickel last year, so man him got

870
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: close and he's just a you know, ballg He loves tackling.

871
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: He's just a dog, you know. So I just, you know,

872
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: love playing with him. Do you think people understand what

873
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: the kind of work you have to put in to guard?

874
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: Not just you know, a Scottie Miller on a play,

875
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: but you know, to know your assignment, to know the

876
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: different ways that receivers will have the releases at the

877
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: line because you're guarding, you're not following guys. I mean

878
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: you're guarding whoever is right there in front of you

879
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: in a game. I really just think it's all about film.

880
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: You know, you'll know exactly what the guys want to

881
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: do if you study, study enough, and a lot of guys,

882
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, take what they did last game, in the

883
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: game before and to the next ones. You know, you

884
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: know everyone's you know strength and weakness is going into

885
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: the game. So I think it's all about how you

886
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: prepare yourself about the weekend. It should make the game

887
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 1: a lot easier. All right now, you told us back

888
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: on Monday that twenty seconds to go in the game, Frank, right,

889
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: Bubba Ventron come up to you and they say, hey,

890
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: take this one back, get us a touchdown. It was crazy,

891
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: you know. He looked at me, Frank looked at me

892
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 1: and said it's time, like let's go score. And Bubba said,

893
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: bringing it out regardless, He's bring it out regardless, like

894
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: go score. And that's what everyone, you know, model was

895
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: when we walked on the field, we said to the

896
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: house on three and that's what it was. And you

897
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: know we didn't acomplish it at the time, but you know,

898
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: it was big to know that they had that faith

899
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: in not only just me, but in the unit to

900
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: actually get the key blocks and actually trust me with

901
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: the bottom of ass I mean, you came so close there,

902
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: and when that first crease hit, are you thinking like

903
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: this is it just like turn on the jets? What's

904
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: going through your mind there? Just just getting to the

905
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: end zone, you know, I was just thinking about, you know,

906
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: how much this game is about to change once I

907
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: get to the end zone, and and just knowing that,

908
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, the guys trust me with the bottom of

909
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: my hands at the time, so I know, once I

910
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: got through the first crease, it was all about just

911
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: trying to beat the guy. To the endzone. So so

912
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: with this defense though, I mean, you guys have you

913
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: lead the NFL and takeaways twenty seven. The mentality that

914
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: you guys have set it started before this year, right

915
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: and to you know, comingto this year shooting forty takeaways

916
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: to be now on pace to lead the NFL and takeaways?

917
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: How is that mentality kind of been the fuel for

918
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: all those turnovers you guys have got this year. It

919
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: started with practice, you know, everyone in our room competing

920
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: like I bet I get an interception for you. You know,

921
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: it all started with just competing throughout camp, and then

922
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: we all just started getting them and getting them, just

923
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: adding up and I think everyone, you know, we have

924
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: a chart to see what get the most turned over.

925
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: So everyone's goal is just to get the ball, you know,

926
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: getting back to the offense. So if we all had

927
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: that same entirely, we're finding a way to get the

928
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: ball from the offense. So pretty it's a pretty good

929
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: competitive thing on on our side. So and now I

930
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: know Coachieberflus has those Ballhawk T shirts. Um, what what

931
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: colors you got? You got two picks this here, I

932
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: got a blue one and a great one. He varies

933
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: the Colors. I think if you score, you get a

934
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: red one. So EJ got a red one from the

935
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: block plant. So you know everyone's goal is to get

936
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: a red one right now. And I mean it seems

937
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: like a lot of a lot of you and your

938
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: teammates have quite a few of those. Yeah, defintely Theories

939
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: has the whole collection right now. So he's going crazy

940
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: right now. He's got but does he doesn't have a

941
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: red one this year? Now he doesn't have a real

942
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: one one. He has a lot, and you should have

943
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: a red one by the way, Baltimore. Yeah, but I

944
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: probably would have gave it the Theories just not my side, Stough,

945
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: but at lease in the games and Davis JJ. That
