1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: This is instant Game Reaction, an immediate look back at

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: the Colts' latest game and trying to make it adjustment

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: on the ball. It's by cold Clifty catched it and

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: he rubbles across the door line, touchdown, forty two yards.

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Strike on the air and out down field, down the

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: far sideline looking for sa Jones and it's intercepted by

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: the Colts. I say a Rodgers on the returns gets

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: up the Taylor he said, touchdown in d Why Jonathan Taylor.

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, J. J. Stankovitz from Colts dot Com. Hey, everyone,

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: welcome into another episode of Colts Instant Reaction here on

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: the Colts Audio Network. I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined by Colts

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. Remember Bill Brooks as we break down

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: the colts twenty six to twenty seven loss to the

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I say it every week, Bill, the score

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The Colts went for two at the end

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: of the ballgame. There are no there's no overtime in

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: preseason games. They didn't inverted, so they wound up losing

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: to the Lions. That's not what we're here to talk about, though.

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: We were here to talk about the action that happened

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: on the field, and some specific developments in this game.

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: So let's just jump right into it, Bill, The games

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: that we saw from Desmond Patman and Mike Strown very

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: very encouraging for the Colts competition for that fifth wide

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: receiver spot. Patman five catches one hundred and five hundred

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and three yards and a touchdown. Mike Strown three catches,

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: forty five yards and a touchdown. What did you see

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: out of those two big wide receivers on Saturday, Well,

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I thought they played well. They did a nice job

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: out there against Detroit, and they also both of them

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: did a nice job during the week of practice. A

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: joint practices with Detroit this week on Wednesday and Thursday,

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, and Mike coming just coming off a pup,

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: I really didn't think he was gonna play that much. Yeah,

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: or actually I didn't think he was going to practice

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: that much this week either against the Detroit Lions. But

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: he did a nice job just coming back off of

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: pup and going out there playing. And he look full speed,

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: running good routes and having good body control out there.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: So both those gentlemen had a nice game. I'd like

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: to touchdowns that patent had. I definitely catching it running backwards.

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: It's not an easy thing to do when the balls

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: coming running backwards trying to catch the ball. And he

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: caught it and made a nice effort to get in

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: the end zone. And that's having good awareness of where

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: you're at in the football field and knowing where you're

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: at and what you need to do to get an

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: end zone. So he did a nice job. And both

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: those guys caught passes with guys on them, you know,

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: guys hanging on them. So they made some nice catches

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: with people contesting against their throws trying to stop the

51
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: stop them guys catching it. So they did a nice job.

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: And you know, those guys are so big. I'm I

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: keep on saying this every time I might talk about

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: the receivers. They're a big group. You know, you look

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: at them, how big they are, how physical they are,

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and that gives them advantage over a lot of dbs

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: because a lot of dbs aren't as big as as

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: those wide out, so they can use their size against

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: the dB and for their advantage. Yeah, straw he before

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: his touchdown, he had a reception on third and seven

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: where Ellinger scrambles out to his right, and Strong does

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: such a good job of creating just that little bit

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: of separation. It's about like a yard he gets running

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: towards the sideline. Ellen, by the way, through a great ball.

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: He had another fantastic game, yes, and then obviously and

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: then you know, Strong gets the touchdown, and you just

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: you love seeing the plays that these guys made in games.

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Just I mean, you know it, Bill, you can probably

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: speak to it. But I was talking to Nick Foles

70
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: after the game, and he said that for these young guys,

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: when you you execute in a game, it just ups

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: your confidence like crazy. And for Strawn who is kind

73
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: of up against it with his timeline, and then Patman,

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: who we haven't noticed him a ton during training camp.

75
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see what these guys look like

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: in the final week of training camp practice now that

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: they've got this kind of burst in an actual game

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: action exactly. And Nick said it right, I mean, when

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: you're in when you're in a game situation, there are

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: different things that go through your mind. There's anxiety, of course,

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: because it is a game. You want to perform well.

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: You want to do well for your for yourself and

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: for your teammates. And for the team in an organization,

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: and it's just a little more anxiety there than in practice.

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: And practice you're doing it, you're doing it going against

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: the same guys, uh day in and day out, so

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you kind of get a little familiar with the guys

88
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and what they do as far as defending you. But

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: when you're going to a game, it's just a different situation.

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: You're not sure how the opponent's gonna play against you,

91
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, how are you going to react

92
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: as certain plays and things that happen. And also with

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Sam back there, now you know that he rolls out

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot, so you know you have to stay alert

95
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: every time that Sam's back there because you might be

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: in a scramble drill. So all those things play a

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: part in your mind. And for them to do it

98
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: in a game situation, that's just going to give them

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: more and more confidence. The more reps they get, the

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: more reps they get in the game situation, the more

101
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: confidence to kind of get. And those guys already looked

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: like they had a lot of confidence when they played

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: out there. They didn't then look that the game was

104
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: too big for them. They didn't shrink from it. They

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: wanted it, and they were very aggressive out there, and

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: I liked the way they played. So just talking about

107
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position Alec Pierce had. You know, he

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: had that one catch where he kind of dragged the

109
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: guy over the middle, you know, nice little catch and run.

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: But I want to talk to you about something else, Bill.

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: So I noticed there was a running play in the

112
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: first quarter where it was just a handoff to Phil

113
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: b Lindsay didn't totally look like anything. You know that

114
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, you know, he got to highlight this

115
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: play in your notebook. But I was watching Pierce on

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: it and he goes and he hits this incredible release

117
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: on it where he kind of fakes the dB in

118
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: front of him with an inside release and then uses

119
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: his hands and it's just a you know, great core

120
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: strength to then adjust and get outside release. He gets

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: like I mean, I'm talking about like three four yards

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: a separation and it's a running play, but he's putting

123
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: his hand up in the air like, hey, throw me

124
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: the ball. And I asked him after the game, you know,

125
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: on those run plays, what are you trying to accomplish?

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: And he said that Reggie Wayne is very intentional about

127
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: on running plays, telling his wide receivers, hey, test out

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: what works, test out your releases on those, and see

129
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: if you can find a way to get open, because

130
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: then later in the game, if we run a passing play,

131
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: you know what release is going to work against that cornerback.

132
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: So it didn't win out wind up where Pierce got

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: a ball, you know, throw to him on that similar

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: release during the game. But I thought that was just

135
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: a really interesting perspective of how even on a play

136
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: where Alec Pierce's quote unquote not involved, he's still working

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: on his game. He's still growing his game. Because Bill,

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: the big thing with Pearson, with every rookie wide receiver

139
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: is can they get off press? And on that one play,

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: I sure saw Ella Pierce get off press. You're right, JJ,

141
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: and for a lot of rookie receivers and for me included,

142
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: that was one of the most difficult things I had

143
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: to learn coming into national football. It gets working against

144
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: press and getting off of press. So the more times

145
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: you can work at it, the better you're gonna be.

146
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: And Reggie was right. I mean, when you know it's

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: a running play and you know the guy's pressing, you

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: man to man or how he's playing. You work on

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: your releases because this is something that might benefit you

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: down the road because if it is a passing play

151
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: later on, you know what worked against this guy at

152
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: this time when there was a running play, you can

153
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: use that again down the road. So the more reps

154
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: he gett gets at working against the press, the better

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: he's going to be. So he needs to work. And

156
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: also for me personally, what it was is you're going

157
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: to get someone else and actually you're exerting less energy.

158
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you're exerting less energy. And when you use

159
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: a release to get off pressed, because if not, you

160
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: gotta block the man. So I mean, as you got

161
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to engage him and he's gonna engage you. So if

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: you can just work on your release, get by him

163
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: and he's gonna follow you, that's a block of itself,

164
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: taking a man out of the play. So so that

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: was the one thing you can do when you're working

166
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: on release. But the more reps he gets and the

167
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: more that he can put that into his memory bank

168
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: of how he beat this guy at this time, the

169
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: better he's going to be. The more reps you get,

170
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: keep on working at your craft at all times, not

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: just in practice, but you can do it in games

172
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: and put those things in your memory bank, and that

173
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: would be another tool that you have that can help

174
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: you in the game going forward. Yeah, and again, this

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: is a kid in Pierce who you just hear so

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: many good things about from his teammates, from his coaches,

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: just about the way he works. On top of the

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: physical talent he has. It's gonna come for him. And

179
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, just these little things that he's doing, you

180
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: just kind of make a mental note of like, all right,

181
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: he's he's getting it and it's starting to click for

182
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: him and it's starting to work for him. So very

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: excited to see what he does next week in that

184
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: final preseason game, or he'll play a little bit more

185
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan ahead of the regular season opener in

186
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. All Right, a couple of other

187
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: things to talk about. On offense, we saw a couple

188
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: of guys who usually run out the first team offense

189
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: out there. Paris Campbell played nine snaps. Frank Reich said

190
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: that was just to kind of continue getting his confidence

191
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: up as he comes off that injury last year. Matt

192
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Pryor played ten snaps at left tackle that I think

193
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: was probably more of a depth thing where you know

194
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: you're a little bit thin at tackle, just with Dennis

195
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Kelly still coming off the knee injury, so Pryor gets

196
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: some work there. Danny Pinter got work at center, which

197
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: is not surprising. He got work with the second team

198
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: offense at center. In Buffalo, Kyl and Granson played seventeen snaps.

199
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Once again, he moved really well out there. Thought he

200
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: had a pretty solid game. That kind of wraps up

201
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, the guys who we've seen with the first

202
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: team offense getting out there in game action. But the

203
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from that bill is none of those guys

204
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: got hurt and you can now move on to this

205
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: last week of practice up at Grand Park. Yeah. That

206
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the first the most important thing is those guys come

207
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: out healthy, and that's that's the most important thing. So

208
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: those guys come out healthy with getting extra reps out there.

209
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: So the more reps they can get, the better off

210
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: it is for those guys. For everyone, everyone wants to

211
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: get more reps, they want to play the game, they

212
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: want to go out there and compete. But also during

213
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: this time, as you said, it's more probably of a

214
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: depth thing. You know, these guys aren't playing, so we

215
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: need someone that has to play. We don't want this

216
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: other young guy playing every snap, so so he'll get

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: fatigued and there's a possibility of injury. So it was

218
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: it was probably a depth thing that for most of

219
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: those guys. But the more reps they can get, especially

220
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: at different positions, learning how to play, playing in the

221
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: game situation, being under the lights, and being able to

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: perform just gonna help the team. And as you know, JJ,

223
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: having depth in the National Football League is very important,

224
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: yes to the frontliners. Need to play, need to play

225
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: as much as they can. But during the season, they're

226
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: going to be times when guys are out for a play,

227
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe out for a series or two, or even out

228
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: for a game or a couple of games. So the

229
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to step in do their job

230
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be called on to perform. And once

231
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: you're in there, your your job is to perform, not say, oh,

232
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: I can just get by whatever. No, you gotta perform

233
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: and perform at a high level. Speaking of performing at

234
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: a high level, Sam Elliger in the preseason this year

235
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: Builter two games. He's twenty of twenty three for two

236
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: forty one and four touchdowns, no interceptions. He's just bought

237
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: out out there. He is. I mean, look, Frank Craik

238
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: has been pretty clear that there is not a competition

239
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: to be the Colt's backup quarterback. Nick Foles is going

240
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: to be the guy. That's why they brought him in

241
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: and they signed him to the contract they did. But look,

242
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: if you need a next man up, Sam Ellinger is

243
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: playing really really well right now. Really interesting decision on

244
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: what the Colts to do with him in about a

245
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: week and a half on the final roster cutdown day.

246
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Does he make the fifty three? Does he force his

247
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: way onto the fifty three? Is a third quarterback? That's

248
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: not something the Colts have done in the past, but

249
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: they haven't had a guy like Sam Ellinger is a

250
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: third quarterback in the past. Exactly really interesting to see

251
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: what they do there. And then Bernard Ryman Bill I

252
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: thought he had a really solid game, you know, Frankreich

253
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: said kind of his first impression with the Naked Eye,

254
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't watching its super close during the game,

255
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: was that he played well. Went back and I watched

256
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of his game this morning. He only

257
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: allowed one pressure. It kind of came on a stunt

258
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. I get, I don't know how

259
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: that was coached, who was supposed to pick up what?

260
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, I think the most

261
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: encouraging thing here, Bill is that over the course of

262
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: the week, between the two joint practices in the game,

263
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: you saw Bernard Ryman get better and you saw him

264
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: grow as a pass protector specifically where you know, you're

265
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of working on some things and you start to

266
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: figure some things out. I think that's really encouraging for

267
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: where he's going. I don't know if he's going to

268
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: be your week one starter. I think that's probably still

269
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: Matt Pryor, but as he is growing and developing, getting

270
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: to kind of see it in real time over the

271
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: last couple of days, very encouraging to me for the

272
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: third round rookie, Yeah, very encouraging. And you know, I'm

273
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: sure this is what they thought of when they drafted

274
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: a young man coming in here and being able to

275
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: go and compete for a job and to get better

276
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: every day. They knew it was going to be a

277
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: learning process for the young man, and the young man

278
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: has got in there and wanted to learn and getting

279
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: involved as far as learning his playbook and asking questions,

280
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: ask questions of the coaches and other players, and just

281
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: wanting to learn and get better and going out there

282
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: working on his craft. So the more, as I said before,

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: and anything else, for a young guy to get more

284
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: reps in the National Football League and competitive situations and

285
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: joint practices and games, it's going to be better for them.

286
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: And definitely doing it in games, it's gonna be better.

287
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: So this is a young man. He's a big young

288
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: man as well, um that can move pretty well, and

289
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: once he gets his hands on you, he can he

290
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: can do some damage to some defenders. So I'm excited

291
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: about how he's developing, and I think he will continue

292
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: to develop and get better. And as only as time

293
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: goes he will get better. And as long as he

294
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: keeps on working at his craft, he's gonna he's gonna

295
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: be fine at tackle or whatever position they put him.

296
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: More likely of course at tackle. Let's flip over to

297
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: the defense, and do you want to start with Nick

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Cross or dioa dangbo oh. Let's go with Nick. He

299
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: looks ready for the regular season as a twenty year old.

300
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: The pass breakup he had in the end zone. Just

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: fantastic coverage. He recogniz isis when to carry the receiver

302
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: and then the timing of kind of getting up on

303
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: the back of that receiver and swatting that pass away.

304
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: This dude, he just looks like a natural at that position.

305
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: And I think a lot about something that Gus Bradley

306
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: told Lara Overton and I when we did an interview

307
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: with him way back when he got hired in February,

308
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: and he said that the way that he schemes his

309
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: defense and he and his coaches coach the defense, it

310
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: allows rookies to play fast and to play well right

311
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: from the jump. And what we're seeing from Nick Cross,

312
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: whether it's in games, whether it's in practice, is a

313
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: guy who is playing fast. There's not a lot of

314
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, taking a beat to you know, think all right,

315
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: what's my assignment on let's play. It's just go after it,

316
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: and he's playing with really good technique. Could not have

317
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: been more impressed with Nick Cross once again in Saturday's

318
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: game JJ, I really need to think someone needs to

319
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: check his spreath certificate. I don't think he's twenty years old,

320
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: because as someone that's twenty years old, that young, has

321
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: never played in National Football League. The things that he's

322
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: doing out there in the football field, he's doing like

323
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: a veteran does. I mean, he's playing fast, he's playing quick,

324
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: he's not thinking, he's reacting to plays. As you mentioned

325
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: about the play in the end zone, how he broke

326
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: up to play the past deflection. So those things coming

327
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: up setting in the edge like he did in Buffalo

328
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: last week. So I mean, those things that he's doing,

329
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: that's what a veteran does. I'm not saying rookies can't

330
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: do that, of course he can, but it's something you

331
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: don't you really see from rookie doing that coming in

332
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: and for him being twenty as well, not you know,

333
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three years old, but being that young,

334
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: being that savvy about how to play against wide receivers,

335
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: tight ends and running backs and the things that he's

336
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: doing out there in the football field. It blows my

337
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: mind right now how young he is and he's just

338
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: playing aggressive, playing fast, And if you came from somewhere

339
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: else and just watch practice, you wouldn't know that he

340
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: was a rookie. Ye, the way he's playing, the things

341
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: that he's doing, and you know, and that's what and

342
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: that's what coaches want players to play fast and the

343
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: only way they're gonna be able to play fast is

344
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: not thinking, just react. And the way Gus Bradley's has

345
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: situated the defense and scheme the defense is it gives

346
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: people opportunity to do that, to play fast. So you're

347
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: not thinking a lot and you're not guessing, oh, should

348
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: I go heres? You're good here, and then once you

349
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: do that, once you start doubting yourself what you should do,

350
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: that's when you know a big play happened. So he's

351
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: out there playing fast, he's reacting making plays, he plays physical,

352
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: he plays fast. So I'm you know, I'm looking forward

353
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: to see what this young man can do during the

354
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: season and how he's going to help his football team. Yeah.

355
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: I think one of the best developments of training camp

356
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: so far has been you see what Julian Blackman's done

357
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: on the prices of the field where he's you know,

358
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: you're seeing the range and the instincts and the you know,

359
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: the ballhawks skills from him, and then you're seeing Nick

360
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: Cross out there and you're thinking, man, this safety combo,

361
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: this could be really good, it could be really good.

362
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: This year. And and the thing about that JJ not

363
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: just really good this year, for years to come because

364
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: these are young guys. I mean, you look both those guys,

365
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: black men and cross young guys, and you know, for

366
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: years to come, this could be a good, real, real

367
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: good combination, one of the best in the National Football League.

368
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Dio Dangbo. Then he had two

369
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: sacks in this game. He now has had two consecutive

370
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: preseason games in which he's had five total pressures. From

371
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, something he told me. I thought this

372
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: was interesting, Bill. I was talking to him after the game,

373
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: and he said, in games, he's finding he's he's winning

374
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: a lot with power pass rushes, whereas in practice some

375
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: of those don't show up as wins. But in games

376
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: he's affecting the quarterback using those power rushes. And you know,

377
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: maybe that I thought that was interesting because we haven't

378
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: noticed him a ton out there during training camp. But

379
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: maybe in a sense that's because what he's doing is

380
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: actually a little more transferable to game action. Where the

381
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: quarterback isn't wearing a red jersey, you can actually you know,

382
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: physically hit him. Yes, I thought that was interesting, but

383
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, for a guy like Odangbo, who you know

384
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: is still you know, this is the first time he's

385
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: ever played in the preseason, it's the first time he's

386
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: ever done a training camp. Getting these these good games

387
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: that he's now had back to back against Buffalo and Detroit.

388
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: You really like seeing that as you start turning your

389
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: attention toward the regular season and kind of where he

390
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: fits in the cold see line rotation. Yeah, it's good

391
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: to see that. You know, he's playing well in the

392
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: game situations during the preseason because hopefully that will carry

393
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: over into a regular season. As you mentioned about the

394
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: depth on the defensive line, you know that's going to

395
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: be very important to this defense this year, having guys

396
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: that can come in and spell this starters or the

397
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: frontliners give him a spell so they get rested and

398
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: still have an effective pass rush against an opponent. So

399
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: that way we can continue to put pressure in the quarterback.

400
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: And I think he's one of those guys that they're

401
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: counting going to do that. So I think this was

402
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: a positive step for Diale from the playing well and

403
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: put pressure and back to what he said about the

404
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: power rush working and games better than in practice. It's

405
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: probably because the guys that he's going against in practice,

406
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: he knows, they know him, they know what he's going

407
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: to do. And yes, exactly, so Hutchinson learned that last week,

408
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: so exactly. So I mean those are the things that

409
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little bit more difficult, but that's

410
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: good for him. That's good because the competition he gets

411
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: in practice actually makes it even harder. I mean, it

412
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: makes it easier for him when he's playing in games

413
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: because it's the competition in practice is harder than probably

414
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: isn't and sometimes in the games against depending on who

415
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: he's going against. So I mean that's good for dial.

416
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I want to see it because you know, he went

417
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: through the whole process, so you know, not playing in

418
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: preseason last year and not being ready till the end

419
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: of the season last year. So I'm happy for him.

420
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: I hope he continues to develop, and you know, it's

421
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: only going to help the team and more guys that

422
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: developed and more guys that become effective in game situations

423
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: that they can go out and play and the coach

424
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: is gonna have confidence in them that they're going to

425
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: be able to do the job. Speaking of the delone rotation,

426
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: great seeing Taekwon Lewis back out there. Yes, the first

427
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: time he has been in a game since he ruptured

428
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: his patella returning that interception against the Titans in Week

429
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: eight of the twenty twenty one season. So he played

430
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: sixteen snaps. You just you love seeing him out there.

431
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: He had a little bit of juice. You can tell

432
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: he was pretty fired up to be out there too.

433
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: So that was great to see Um. And a couple

434
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: other guys that stood out to me. Bill I thought

435
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Sterling Weatherford, the undrafted rookie linebacker from Cicero in Miami, Ohio,

436
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: had a really good game. He in the in the

437
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: second quarter. Toward the end of the second quarter, he

438
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: got he got a pressure he had he hit a

439
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: coffeehouse splits. That's the one where you're kind of lined

440
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: up over the A gap and you sort open up

441
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: your hips to the field and then you know try

442
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: to like lull the offensive lineman into thinking of right,

443
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: he's going into coverage and then he shoot right through

444
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the A gap get gap. Ye, And he nailed it.

445
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: M That's not an easy technique to get down and

446
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: he did it. He's worked on that a little bit

447
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: during games and in practice. That we've seen. And then

448
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter he had another blitz through the

449
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: a gap where he just went straight at the running

450
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: back and he drove Jackson, the lines running back back

451
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: a couple of yards on the pass where she was

452
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: really good, really solid game for him. I thought, anyone

453
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: else on defense that stood out to you, Uh, Tony Brown,

454
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: I thought Tony Brown, he played, he played, He did

455
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: a nice job out there. He did a good job,

456
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: of course getting an interception and picking off and taking

457
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: a back. So he's one guy. But Weatherford, as I agree,

458
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: he's the one that to me that stood out more

459
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: than anyone else that played well. And as you're talking

460
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: about those blitzes, those things are there's a timing thing,

461
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: so you got to make sure you have the right

462
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: the right timing as far as getting the blitz. And

463
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: then you also you have to have power if you're

464
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: going to get some running back, because the running back

465
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: is gonna he's gonna make sure that he's starting his stout.

466
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: But you know, if you bring the juice to bring

467
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: the force hard enough, that guy's gonna have to go back.

468
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: So Weatherfood and Brown the two individuals that I thought

469
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: had good games. Uh, yesterday and they were all over

470
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: the field. One last note, I caught up with Marcel Dabo,

471
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: the German safety who the Colts brought in through the

472
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: NFL's International International Pathway program. He played on defense for

473
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: the first time in a preseason game on Saturday. He

474
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: played thirty three snaps and I just talked to him

475
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: about his experience getting into a game, and he had

476
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: some really interesting comments about what kind of his long

477
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: term goals are of playing football. So check that out

478
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: on Colts dot com. Just an interesting story and the

479
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of story you can write when all the starters

480
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: pretty much don't play and you're looking for, you know,

481
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: that interesting angle in the locker room. Bill. By the way,

482
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: I loved having postgame locker room access back as a reporter.

483
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: That was probably my most positive development from yesterday's game.

484
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: That I got to go, you know, kind of chat

485
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: with some people in the locker room and it felt

486
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: it felt like twenty nineteen again. It was nice. Well,

487
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: it's good. It's good that the locker room is open

488
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: now that the reporters can get in and talk and

489
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: individuals like you can ask great questions the players and

490
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: get their reaction after the game. And how they feel.

491
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: So I'm happy that we're getting as close to back

492
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: as back to getting back to normal as much as possible.

493
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: And it's great that you have access. You can go

494
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: in there and talk and get the actual reaction and

495
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: the feeling and the guys how they really feel after

496
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: the game instead of doing it over a zoom or

497
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: whatever doing And so excited about that and just excited
