1
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Official Colts Podcast.

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: I'm Jeffrey Gorman, the Bulldog lera over Tennis here herself

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: the best in the business, JJ Stankowitz. We are here

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: to talk Colts football and guys right from the top. Obviously,

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: after the twenty one to thirteen dropping to Minnesota, the

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: NFL has spoken. I just want to get this out

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: there right. How does it feel to have a primetime

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: game ripped from the jaws of almost two out of

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: three weeks. We were going to be the primetime game,

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: but Goodell stepped in and took that New York Jets

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: primetime game away from us.

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: JJA.

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it stinks to not out of the

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: cults on again in primetime. It probably has something to

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: do with the Colts being four and five. It also

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: has something to do with the Jets being three and six.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 4: I know they just won on Thursday Night Football, but

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: if the Jets were six and three, they're probably not.

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Hey, wait a second question, if we win this game

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: in Minnesota were still on primetime, it's.

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: A good question.

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 5: It's a great question.

23
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 6: The other thing I thought might keep this game in

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 6: prime time time is maybe the thought of the intrigue

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 6: between Flacko versus Rogers, like a little bit of that,

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 6: like probably, you know, likely the last time maybe that

27
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 6: you see those people had to head to Super Bowl winners,

28
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 6: and so I thought maybe that would generate a little

29
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 6: bit of intrigue from it. But yeah, I mean it's

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 6: tough to tell, but yeah, you would think maybe if

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 6: the Colts had gotten the win previously on Sunday Night Football, right,

32
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 6: who knows?

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: You know that this is going to be kind of

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: a depressing anecdote, but you know, the last time we

35
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 4: went on primetime was.

36
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Last time winning on primetime. Oh oh gosh, there's going.

37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: To be depressed.

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 5: So well, there was Thursday Night versus the Jets.

39
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: It was after that Broncos Yep.

40
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 4: That's why I prefer, I say it's gonna be a depressing,

41
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: yeap thing to bring up. But yeah that Broncos two yep.

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 5: And the Jets was twenty one yep.

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: Yep.

44
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: Remember botho there go, those were both Thursday night.

45
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Those are both Thursday night games.

46
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: We haven't won on Sunday Night Football since San Francisco

47
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one game.

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 6: Oh yes, Atmospheric river storm. I will never forget that. Phrase, Yes,

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 6: heck of a game.

50
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: That was yeah, good, I thought it was.

51
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 5: Also, the Colts.

52
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 6: Haven't had a home primetime game since long before any

53
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 6: of those.

54
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 4: Either scheduled home primetime game right because we haven't had

55
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: well it was uh the last one would have been

56
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: Christmas right after Christmas against the Chargers in twenty two. Okay,

57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 4: Monday night game that Nick Foles started through four picks.

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: I know we're all trying to forget that season, but okay.

59
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: That was the last one.

60
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: A little depression, but that was scheduled.

61
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but anyway, obviously at Houston last year to.

62
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: End the year.

63
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 5: That's I'm trying to remember. Is that a four and eight?

64
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: Okay eight? That's uh?

65
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 6: Who I was having that conversation last week. Oh it

66
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 6: was Jayleen Jones and I were having this conversation.

67
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: He was like, was that game in primetime? And I

68
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: was like, oh, shoot, I can't remember it was four

69
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 5: or eight. So we were just yeah, yeah, there you go.

70
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: All right, guys, Well meaningless trivia, it is.

71
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: It's great trivia, But Colts will not be on primetime

72
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: against the Jets first before that, the Buffalo Bills before

73
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: that Jets game. But We've got to go over what

74
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: happened in Minnesota. That's where I want to start. Anthony

75
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Richardson demoted in that week. Joe Flacco brought up Lara.

76
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: Let me start with you the number wors, the numbers.

77
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: They were not flying. They were not flying offensively. When

78
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: you look at the offensive output, you got too Mac

79
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: Gay field goals. Don't forget about a missed field goal

80
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: in there as well, and you got the defensive touchdown,

81
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: not what Shane Stikeen and this team wanted to see offensively.

82
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: Where are we at after that game?

83
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: And obviously we heard Sean excuse me, Shane on Monday

84
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: say moving forward, Joe flakouse star.

85
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, struggled to sustain drives, weren't good on

86
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 6: third down, didn't get into the red zone. And part

87
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: of this, I think is the reality when you don't

88
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 6: have the threat of Anthony Richardson in compliment to Jonathan Taylor, right,

89
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 6: there is a component of that in terms of helping

90
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 6: to establish the run game, which of course sets things.

91
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: Up in the passing game.

92
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

93
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: It was an offensive struggle for sure, and I think

94
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: it was.

95
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 6: Also one of the things about it was Joe having

96
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 6: said earlier in the week, this is where I'm most

97
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 6: comfortable is when I'm starting, you know, when I'm preparing

98
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: as a starter. Actually, the backup role is what I've

99
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: had to get more accustomed to, although that's what I've

100
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 6: done more of for the last four or five years.

101
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 6: The starting role, you know, being able to lead all

102
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 6: of the first team offense that entire week, be you know,

103
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 6: in the huddle, command everything.

104
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 5: So to me it was perplexing, even though you do

105
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 5: have such a great.

106
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 6: Defense in Minnesota, they do so much in terms of

107
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 6: the disguise and variants and what they bring. I did

108
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 6: think though, with Joe having the entire week to prepare,

109
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 6: you would have been more productive within the offense.

110
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Colts are going to need to

111
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: figure out some solutions in the run game, especially where

112
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean you think about everything that they've installed in

113
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: the run game. It hasn't all been predicated on five

114
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: being back there, but a lot of it includes that

115
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: includes some element of they have to respect Richardson's running ability,

116
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: So you got to find some solutions there because you

117
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: got to get Jonathan Taylor going.

118
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: This offense is going to now go.

119
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: I think as far as you can, as far as

120
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: the run game is probably going to take you, just

121
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 4: that that's gonna make things easier for Joe Flacco. That

122
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: makes things much easier for the offensive line where you're

123
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: you're able to be productive going forward with some of

124
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: this stuff. So I think there are enough smart people

125
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 4: over in that coaching room that can figure some stuff out.

126
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: But it is this is still kind of new, right

127
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: of like Joe Flacco being your starting quarterback, that you

128
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: can't just snap your fingers and say everything's going to

129
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: carry over. So I think now, you know, you get

130
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: a couple you know, game of tape that you had

131
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: against Minnesota, you had the Jacksonville game, you had the

132
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: Titans game, but neither of those games with Jonathan Taylor.

133
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: So there are kind of these other factors here. I

134
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: think as the season goes on, you will see that

135
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 4: run game get better and that will positively impact this offense.

136
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 6: I also think with the frequency that Minnesota likes to

137
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 6: pressure you, right, how often they blitz, how exotic they

138
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 6: like to be, having two rookies starting on that offensive

139
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 6: line is really tough. Dalton Tucker has been great since

140
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 6: he's stepped in for that to be Matt Gonsalvez's first start.

141
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: Tough situation right for him to be thrust in.

142
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: I did think Gonzalvez until that last drive, I thought

143
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: he held up pretty well. Yeah, it's more just the

144
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: rest of it, right, Like they can have like a

145
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: funky pressure and you run the ball and it's maybe

146
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: a little bit different than pass protecting in terms of

147
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: your assignments and stuff. But the thing that I went

148
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: back to after the game is I just sort of

149
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: assumed that Flacco stats when he was blitzed were gonna

150
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: be a little bit rough because that's been what Minnesota

151
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: usually as success in when they've limited opposing quarterbacks across

152
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: the season. But he was nine to fourteen. He didn't

153
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: throw a pick, he didn't get sacked against the blitz.

154
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: It was when Minnesota did not blitz. I mean, there's

155
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: still disguising coverages. They're still throwing the kitchen sink at

156
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: you on the back end. It's not like, oh, they

157
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: sent four, we don't have to worry about anything. But

158
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: that's where the Colts offense struggled the most. Joe Flacco

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: when he was not blitzed to the thirty nine point

160
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: six passer rating, so that's where you needed to see

161
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: improvement because he handled the blitz. Flacco did handle the

162
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: blitz relatively well in this game.

163
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: Can we talk about Pittman for a sec, Like, we

164
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: know what Michael Pittman is and we saw what the

165
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: Colts did in the off season. Is this something, guys,

166
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm asking you both. Is his the year which is

167
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: inefficient in Michael Pittman's terms? Is this strictly from the

168
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: injury from the back from his practice schedule, or is

169
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: it the flip flopping of Hey, Anthony's injured, then Anthony's back,

170
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: then Anthony's demoted and Joe's back in there? Is it

171
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: the flip flop of that because Pittman put up numbers

172
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: for years here and we saw what he is. A

173
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: great second round pick out of USC this year not

174
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: so much.

175
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it is really interesting and you want pitt

176
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 6: to be involved, right, And there were opportunities in that game.

177
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 6: I kept listening to coachman Turry talk about how open

178
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 6: you have things in the middle, how you know you

179
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: should have been targeting that area of the field. Now,

180
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 6: not exactly sure all of what went into that, but

181
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 6: you know Rick was calling it out that it seems

182
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 6: like that there were a number of opportunities where you

183
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 6: could have gotten Pit involved. Now that being said, man

184
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 6: Josh Downs came up big, and it was great to

185
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 6: see ad Mitchell make the catch that he did earlier

186
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 6: in the season.

187
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 5: My goodness, how productive has Alec Pierce been down the field.

188
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 6: It is interesting though, that skill set of Michael Pittman

189
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 6: we have not seen as heavily utilized, right, ability to

190
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: you know, high point the ball, win the fifty to fifties,

191
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 6: do all of that that has And maybe that's part

192
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: of it, JJ just the respect being given to Michael

193
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 6: Pittman that people are you know, now you know, scheming

194
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 6: for him exactly know, because he is, you know, regarded

195
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 6: as wide receiver number one, right, he's the lead guy.

196
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 6: So this is something that you are game planning for

197
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: and game planning to attack. So maybe that's why we're

198
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 6: not seeing the opportunities to get it to him because

199
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 6: defenses are more effectively accounting for it.

200
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I would think opposing defenses were doing

201
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 4: that already already, just like based on I mean, he

202
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: had one hundred and fifty six targets last year, one

203
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: hundred and forty one the year prior one hundred and

204
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 4: twenty nine before that. You know, I think a lot

205
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: of it is though, just you've heard Shane Stike and

206
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: say a couple times, we've just got to get him

207
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: involved early, just get it rolling early, because that's where

208
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: I think you saw a lot of Pit over the

209
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: last couple of years, where you get you know, a

210
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: couple of catches early in the game. He gets rolling,

211
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: he's you know, hitting some of those inbreaking routes or

212
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: kind of be that he can kind of be that

213
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: slasher within this offense, the guy who is going to

214
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: get you the first down. The thing that I was

215
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: surprised by. So Michael Pittman Junior. His success rate has

216
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: been over fifty percent every year of his career. This

217
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: year it's at forty percent. So when he's catching the ball,

218
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: that means he's gaining. Uh, this is going to be

219
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 4: a tough thing to explain for a podcast, but previously,

220
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: a successful or a successful reception gains forty percent of

221
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: yards required on first down, sixty percent on second down,

222
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: or one hundred percent on third or fourth down. So

223
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: when you throw Pit the ball over the last four years,

224
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: half the time you're getting successful yardage, you know, plays

225
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: that either generate a first down or are enough yards

226
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 4: that they're considered successful. And this year it's only at

227
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: forty percent, so that's a little bit. That number has

228
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: got to come up to make Michael Pittman Junior the

229
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 4: effective receiver we know he can be.

230
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 6: And with that, when you do get pitt involved early,

231
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 6: he has I think the ability, even more so than

232
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 6: any other pass catcher in this offense, to just frustrate

233
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 6: the heck.

234
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 5: Out of defense.

235
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 6: That's right, Like pitt is a really irritating guy to

236
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 6: have to match up with. And when he gets rolling

237
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: early and he brings that swagger onto the field, I

238
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 6: think that that's an opportunity where obviously there's the production

239
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 6: you can look at the numbers, but I also think

240
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 6: the implications of getting him involved early that is where

241
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 6: you can sometimes frustrate a defense in particular early on

242
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: that creates some opportunities later as well.

243
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Third downs wasn't great. Joe Flackgell coming in to this

244
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 2: game for the twenty four season, pretty good on third downs.

245
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: This efficient the efficiency that the cold showed and the

246
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: quarterback showed not great in the third downs. JJ for

247
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: you and Lara, please help us out on this going

248
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: out with the direction of this football team making a

249
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: push for the playoffs. Offensively speaking, what needs to be

250
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: the consistent factor? And I'm gonna take JT out of it.

251
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna that's low hanging fruit. I understand we need

252
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: a running game average one hundred yards plus outside of

253
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: JT being consistent. What does this offense need to do

254
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: to start winning some games that people are picking them

255
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: to lose, such as this one coming up against Buffalo.

256
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: What's the main one?

257
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: I mean, if I can't say Jonathan Taylor, then I

258
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: do think it's you kind of need to avoid some

259
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: of the self inflicted stuff go on. Like the there

260
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 4: were you know, the Colts had a like a third

261
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: and nineteen right, you know, they had some of like

262
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 4: really long down in distances. You had the catch that

263
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 4: Kyleon Grantson had down the near sideline being degated for

264
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: an illegal shift penalty on him that would have got

265
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: the Colts in the red zone for the first time.

266
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 4: Like just like little things that kind of pile up

267
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: throughout a game. You get, you know, the chop block

268
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: on Jonathan Taylor that kind of knocks the drive all

269
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: the way back.

270
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: Just stuff like that.

271
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 4: This offense probably needs to play cleaner than it has,

272
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: but I do think there's enough talent there, especially with

273
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: the pass catchers. I absolutely believe in that group that

274
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: if you can kind of clean some stuff up, and

275
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 4: then this is where where like getting the run game

276
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: going does matter. It's hard to convert third downs when

277
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: you're throwing it all the time. If you can have Hey,

278
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 4: it's second and six and we know we can get

279
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: four yards on this run, let's go get it. And

280
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: I got a third and two and well, we might

281
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 4: run it here to Jat or he might throw it.

282
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: Just having that threat more frequently, I do think open

283
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: stuff up and allows you to extend more drives.

284
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: Lara, I'm not putting Shane stike In under the microscope

285
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: at all. But Shane the last two weeks, in his

286
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: postgame press conferences and notes, has said he has to

287
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: be better. And he was asked by it. You know,

288
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 2: the athletic asked him, what do you mean when you

289
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: say you have to be better? He's saying everything from

290
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: schematic to play calling. What is it in your eyes?

291
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: If Shane's saying that to us that he does need

292
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: to be better. We saw some good things happen offense.

293
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: We saw six for sixty yards with Josh downs and

294
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: Joe flacko stuff. What is this specifically he's talking about.

295
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a very interesting question. I mean, I think

296
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 6: part of it is just like that's good leadership first

297
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 6: and foremost, right, is that he puts that on him

298
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 6: the success of the team, Like I think that that's

299
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 6: more so anything. And then I think it's a little

300
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 6: bit of the adjustments, Like I think from for Shane's perspective,

301
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 6: is how are they adjusting? How are teams adjusting in

302
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: particular at halftime, perhaps better than we are, because I

303
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: think that's where you have seen some of the differences

304
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: in the results of games have come down to second

305
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 6: half adjustments, astute second half adjustments. I mean, this Colts

306
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 6: defense held Minnesota scoreless in the first half. That's the

307
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 6: first time anyone has done that all season long. And

308
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 6: then you see him come back and score twenty one

309
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: points in the second half. So it's things like that

310
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 6: that you have to look to to figure out. And

311
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 6: you know, Houston game, similarly, Colts were really good in

312
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 6: the first half, you know, and disrupting a lot of

313
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 6: what they were trying to do off mentally second half,

314
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 6: what were you unable to do?

315
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 5: So I think that's part of the thing that maybe

316
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 5: part of what Shane is.

317
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 6: Pointing to in that area of how are we adjusting

318
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 6: in game because it seems like you're going in with

319
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 6: a pretty good plan, right the things that you're trying

320
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 6: to do are working for you. I mean that And

321
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 6: I hate to like harp on like one thing too much,

322
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 6: but like the JT fumble was just absolutely crushing like that,

323
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 6: Just when that happened, you already felt like, you know,

324
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 6: and again it's never one singular play, but man, what

325
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,479
Speaker 6: you could have created had you capitalized in that situation

326
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 6: and the difference there would have been from that point

327
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 6: on would have been significant, especially with the way your

328
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 6: defense was taking the ball away and disrupting sandbar.

329
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think the other two games that Flacco started,

330
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 4: the Colts went down in the script and they scored.

331
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 4: It was the touchdown against Jacksonville, and then it was

332
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: the one the downs again Tennessee, and you felt like

333
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: that was gonna happen again against Minnesota, and then just

334
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: the the quarterback running back exchange goes awry. And you

335
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: know that was also the second longest drive the Colts

336
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: had of the games, forty four yards. So you know

337
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: there's a lot that needs to get fixed and needs

338
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: to get cleaned up on this offense. But you know,

339
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: you also do need to give Minnesota some credit here,

340
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: like that is a good defense there. They've got They've

341
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: got a Hall of Fame player in Harrison Smith on

342
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: the back end, they've got a potential Hall of Fame

343
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: player at cornerback and Stefan Gilmour. You've got Jonathan Garnard

344
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: looking awesome. The interior there, d line's pretty good. Like,

345
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: that's a that's a good football team they got there,

346
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: Andrew Van Ginkles like one of my favorite players in

347
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: the NFL. Kind of secretly, that's a really good football team,

348
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: and you do need to give and Brian Floor is

349
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: also genius of a defensive coordinator what he's able to

350
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: do with them. So I don't want to like read

351
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: too much into this and be like, all right, Sky's

352
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: falling after one game, but you do need to give

353
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: him some credit.

354
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Let me be the devil's advocate here.

355
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: This is a one score game for a lot of it.

356
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean every game is.

357
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: I know, and it is one score, So I'm just

358
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: gonna be scratching my head. I'm the voy, I'm the

359
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: fan way up there. Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan Taylor

360
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: thirteen carries forty eight yards? Is that just because of

361
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: down and distance, the scheme, whatever the play was calling up,

362
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: where the ball was on that When you talk about

363
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, Shane said this from day one when he

364
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: was in here. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw,

365
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw the score, I'm gonna run to win.

366
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: Is thirteen carries on a close game like that on

367
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: the road something that we want to see. I'm not

368
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: trying to get into coaching here, but it's Jonathan Taylor.

369
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 6: Especially with the trend of kind of like Jay's your

370
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 6: point about Pittman. JT is a guy who kind of

371
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 6: needs to get involved early. We see this where like

372
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 6: he gets better, he tends to get better as the

373
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 6: game goes on. That's where you know when you feed him,

374
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 6: and you feed him, that's where he finds the creases,

375
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 6: the holes begin to open up when you are engineering

376
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 6: a lot of your offense through him, At least from

377
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: what that's just the track record of how it has

378
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 6: tended to be. Now, the other thing is, I think

379
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 6: JT's ankle is healthy like we think so, otherwise you

380
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 6: wouldn't be out there.

381
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: But I mean, I don't know.

382
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: If that's I'm not worried about it. I'm not worried

383
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 4: about that. Here's why I think you saw those carry

384
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 4: numbers be a little bit out of whack. Colts handed

385
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: the ball off to Jonathan Taylor on first down nine times.

386
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: They dropped back to pass nine times on first down.

387
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: But Jonathan Taylor on those first downs he gained thirty

388
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: three yards, so he's at three point seven per and

389
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 4: he had quite a few of those get stuffed right. Well,

390
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 4: technically none of them got stuff for no game, but

391
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 4: like quite a few that went for just like one

392
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 4: or two yards. It's hard to run the ball again

393
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: if it's second and eight, right, So I think that's

394
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: where you ran into some issues. Here is the balance

395
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: of having Flacco drop back versus giving it to JT

396
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: on first down was right there.

397
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: It was right there.

398
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: But if those plays on first down to Jonathan Taylor

399
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 4: aren't gatting a lot of yards, then you're gonna get

400
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: Flacco dropping back on second down and on third down.

401
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: So that is where I think that those numbers got

402
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: a little check.

403
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: Just curious about the offensive out, but we talked a

404
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: little bit about Mac and Solves. Don't know what's going

405
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: on with Bernie Ryman this week, but overall, we saw

406
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: Gnard tomorrow, yeah we will. We saw Jonathan Gerard have

407
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: a couple of sacks late in the game.

408
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those were go ahead.

409
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about those because those are in desperate

410
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: passing situations, right, these deep developing concepts, And like, I

411
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 4: don't know, I thought Gonzolves acquitted himself really well over

412
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: the first year, nine drives of the game and if

413
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: the last if you gave up a sack and a

414
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: couple of pressures on that drive, I'm not gonna hold

415
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: that again.

416
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: Stotch.

417
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: I thought he competed his.

418
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Butt off well, said needed to talk about it.

419
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: We're not talking about Dalton Tucker over ten, so something

420
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: must be good happening on the right side of the

421
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: offense right. A lot of games now, you know, he

422
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: stacked some game starts under his belt and we're not

423
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: talking about him. So something good that's happened in there.

424
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: Oh, what a fine by the scouts in getting him,

425
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 6: signing him as an undrafted rookie, uh guy out of

426
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 6: Marshall who had said he had two opportunities to play

427
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: college football. It was either Marshall or of Lead Eastern

428
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: Kentucky University. And then for him to come in and

429
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 6: do what he has done this year has just been

430
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 6: absolutely incredible.

431
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: Great, Great, he's fantastic.

432
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

433
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 6: Will we look thinking about I mean, look at the

434
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 6: investment of the draft picks up up front, you know,

435
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 6: like you think about like how much has been spent

436
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 6: and invested via draft capital or you know, just pure

437
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: money with the contracts that are invested there in the front.

438
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: And then you have an undrafted rookie right stepping in

439
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 5: there alongside the.

440
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: Third roun borolin An stepped in for a seventh round.

441
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean how crazy you do?

442
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: You do have a lot invested there, but you can't

443
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 4: have a whole entire offensive one built out of first

444
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 4: round picks. You got to get play like this out

445
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: of someone and Toldan Tucker's been that guy.

446
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 6: And I mean you think about I mean obviously like

447
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 6: Ryan Kelly and Quentin Nelson and then Braden Smith was

448
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 6: a high pick guy, you know, so yeah, pretty cool situation.

449
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: Awesome. Okay, guys, I want to give out some backslaps

450
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: to the offense. I said his name earlier. We saw

451
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allens what he means, possibly the best slot receiver

452
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: in the league at this rate, the way he's going

453
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: right now, I'm going to give a big old backslap

454
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: to him, say, hey, let's keep it going into Buffalo.

455
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Who else did you like?

456
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: Offensive? Even we haven't talked about Alec Pierce for a while,

457
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: but we saw a little splashing of Alec this last game.

458
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, Like does anyone get the get better pass

459
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 6: interference calls than Alec Pierce?

460
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Right? Like?

461
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 6: I mean that's like I mean to me, you should

462
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: get credit for those, right with the way he is

463
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 6: able to draw those, I mean, that's huge. And you know,

464
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 6: I thought you would get him involved in that second

465
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 6: half because we heard Joe Flacco say with the game

466
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 6: in Jacksonville, he didn't start to go to Alec until

467
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: the fourth and he said, I kept thinking we got

468
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 6: to find a way to get him involved. So I

469
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 6: thought that that might be something, you know, and back

470
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 6: of Joe's had just you know, especially kind of get

471
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: some of those quick strikes within your offense. But I think,

472
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 6: for me, do you want to give a little bit

473
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: of credit to Adie Mitchell for coming up with the

474
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: catch that he did. That was a tough situation, and

475
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 6: you know, he has endured so much when you know

476
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 6: people have been critical of him in certain situations and

477
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 6: comes in with tons of expectations as a rookie.

478
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 5: So I thought coming up.

479
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: In that environment, in the situation that he did, I

480
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 6: think that will help be a spark for ad Mitchell.

481
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 6: I really hope that that's something that he can build

482
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 6: some confidence off of, and that that's a situation that

483
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 6: they guys go back to and they look to and

484
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 6: they're like, all right, we can trust this guy.

485
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: This is the guy who we can go to. And

486
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: I think you're going to see that pay dividends here

487
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 5: next week.

488
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: Just real quick.

489
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: On Elec Pierce, what I really liked about his game.

490
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 4: He only had three catches, but they were all when

491
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: he was kind of pressing the safety and Minnesota wasn't

492
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: letting him get over the top in this game. They

493
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: were not going to get beat by Alec Pierce over

494
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: the top.

495
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: So he pivoted.

496
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: He was able to adjust his game to running kind

497
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: of those deep stop routes, the deep inbreakers where you've

498
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: got Harrison Smith backpedaling and all of a sudden here

499
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: comes ap just kind of feeding it into his own

500
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: and the balls there on time and you're getting sixteen

501
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 4: yards to pop on those. I thought those were really

502
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 4: nice plays by Alec where he's able to, you know,

503
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: get out of his breaks and catch that stuff intermediate

504
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 4: because they're playing him deep. It's kind of the change

505
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 4: up to all right, if you're going to take away

506
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: the deep stuff, here's how I can still be effective.

507
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: And he he was when he got the ball thrown

508
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 4: to him.

509
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 6: Man Harrison Smith and Stefan Gilmore both thirteen seasons in

510
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 6: the league.

511
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: I know, and like you said earlier, this was this

512
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: was funny.

513
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 4: Ohio State playing at Penn State over the weekend, right,

514
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 4: and how Penn State fans are all mad about that

515
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 4: being a noon game. I remember a conversation I had

516
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: with Harrison Smith in twenty eleven, my first year covering

517
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: Notre Dame, his last year there, and I asked him, like,

518
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: what's the toughest atmosphere you ever played in? And he said,

519
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: it's a night game at Happy Valley. Oh no, kid,

520
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 4: So I thought about that this weekend, just like like

521
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: I should. I should remember more important things in my

522
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: life than that.

523
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 5: But it's important.

524
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 6: Now.

525
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: You're like my wife and I having a conversation about

526
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: like this, and I was like, wait, I got an

527
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: anecdote conversation I had thirteen years ago with the future

528
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame safety.

529
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 3: Here we go.

530
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: You might have been right.

531
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: They play him at night.

532
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: Who knows. They may have won that one, and they

533
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: shouldn't have won. They shouldn't have lost that one. But

534
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: that's another podcast anyway, Penn State Football on it right there.

535
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: So, guys, we.

536
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 2: Breached or broached the offense. What had happened there wasn't

537
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: the best outing defensively speaking, in prime time to see

538
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: what we did and hold that team to twenty one points,

539
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: but in some of the fashion that we did it.

540
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: All the NFL eyes were looking at one play and

541
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: one play in particular. I just got to get both

542
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: of your feelings on watching Grover Stewart do what he does,

543
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: watching absolutely start throwing furniture. He fought the whole bar

544
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: anyone and then his buddy Kenny Morgan, you know, ends

545
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: up in the end zone. So that play alone, if

546
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: we can find out the good the bright spots from

547
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: them defensively larry your thought.

548
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 6: I mean JJ Watt called it a dream scenario for

549
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 6: a defensive lineman, right, I mean, just the way that

550
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 6: Grover dominated. I mean JJ Watt is saying this is

551
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 6: a dream scenario and he's admired what Grover Stewart is doing.

552
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 5: I don't know that we can say any I mean.

553
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 6: Right, like, yeah, that's like the absolute highest regard, highest

554
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 6: compliment possible that you can get. But thank god, people

555
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 6: are finally recognizing Grover freaking Stewart and what he can

556
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 6: do and what he does and has done so consistently

557
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 6: at the top of his game, Like everyone always spotlights

558
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 6: DeForest rightfully. So obviously he's certainly one of the best

559
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 6: at his position has been. But I love to see

560
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 6: that ninety is also getting the recognition and the attention

561
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 6: for plays just like that. And there are so many

562
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: times that things like that have probably happened that don't

563
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 6: get this type of attention. But everything coming together in

564
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 6: the fashion that it did, I mean, it was just

565
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 6: absolute pure domination. Had Kenny Moore and I want to

566
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 6: come back to Kenny here like after we get through

567
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 6: this conversation, because he had some good insight.

568
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: But he was joking that.

569
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 6: His whole growing up playing baseball really came into play

570
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: just being able to scoop that ball up.

571
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 5: He said.

572
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: The one thing that you don't want to do a

573
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: fumble worker situations like overrun it. He's it also, he's like,

574
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: this is when it pays off to have long arms. Right.

575
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 5: I love it because he didn't have to bend over

576
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 5: too far. He kind of just like.

577
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: Corner like Scott Roland. Oh yeah, so I was the

578
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: first third basement. I thought of, that's weird. Hall of

579
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: Indiana guy, Indiana guy.

580
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the above. All right, you know what this

581
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: game felt like, Lara. It felt like a twenty twenty

582
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 4: one Colts game in terms of the defense.

583
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: Right, Oh, okay, okay.

584
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: Sam Donald did throw for two hundred and niney yards

585
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: in this game, and he completed twenty eight of thirty

586
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: four passes. You've justtioned Jefferson, but yep, that happened, but

587
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: you picked him off twice and you got another turnover.

588
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: And it's like, that's what that defense in twenty one

589
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 4: would always do. It's it's bend, don't break, Hey, don't

590
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 4: get beat over the top, and eventually they're going to

591
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: make a mistake, and the Vikings made a few mistakes

592
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: in this game that that's kind of what it it

593
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: felt like, where yeah, yeah, you'd like to get the

594
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: yards down certainly, but if you're going to turn it

595
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: over three times, you can live with what Sam Donald did.

596
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: You know there was only the one deep ball to Jefferson, which, like,

597
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what Sam wolmx supposed to do on

598
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 4: that play other than have it not be justin Jefferson

599
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 4: ing up on making the catch, like in real time.

600
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 2: I was like, Ah, they got him one on one.

601
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 3: That's a bummer. And I watched the.

602
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 4: Coverage and I was like that it was pretty good coverage. Actually,

603
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 4: just it's justin Jefferson. He's going to make those plays.

604
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 4: The thing that I love about the Colts defense right

605
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: now is the pivot we are seeing from Gus Bradley.

606
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 4: And this is why I put this on the rundown

607
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: because I want to talk about this. Gus Bradley since

608
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: taking over his Colts defensive coordinator from week one of

609
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty two season. Through Week six of the

610
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four season, ran a simulated pressure twice.

611
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

612
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: A simulated pressure is when you've got blitzers coming, but

613
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: you rush four, but you've got a defensive lineman dropping.

614
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: You've got just like weird funky stuff where you know,

615
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: you might have a linebacker mugged up and he drops

616
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: and a corner comes. It's just like difficult to deal

617
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 4: with blitzes. This is kind of the like the new

618
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: wave of playing defense in the NFL. It's what like

619
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald did with Baltimore got in the Seattle job, right,

620
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 4: the sim pressure stuff where you're rushing for but you

621
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: don't know who those four are going to be. Over

622
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 4: the last three weeks, the Colts have run simulated pressures

623
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: on twenty two percent of their blitzer Oh interesting, it

624
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: is skyrocketed compared to where the Colts have been over

625
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 4: that span. Over the last three weeks, the Colts are

626
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: fifteenth in the NFL and sim pressure rate. That's like

627
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: right in the middle. They're actually right by the Baltimore

628
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: Ravens right now. So the Gus Bradley has identified, Hey,

629
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: we've got zire Franklin and j speed. Something they are

630
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: really good at is getting you know, walked up over

631
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: the a gap and then bailing out and playing coverage.

632
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 4: They're good at that and also pretty good blitzers if

633
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: you actually do send them. So I think you're hey,

634
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: let's let's throw this change up in here. It's not

635
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 4: something that is in the DNA of this defense, but

636
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: Gus Bradley has identified this is something we can be

637
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 4: good at. The Cults are last three weeks or ninth

638
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 4: in the NFL in pressure rate thirty five point seven percent.

639
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: So JJ, let me ask, where's a big change?

640
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: How name is it?

641
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: A person?

642
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 6: Is it?

643
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: What? I think?

644
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: I think it's the whole defensive staff coming together and

645
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: a little bit let's work on this and let's let's

646
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 4: throw a change up here. And the stuff that he's

647
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 4: doing with the fronts now where the last couple of years,

648
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: it's been a lot of Okay, you've got your four

649
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: down front and you know on third down we'll kick uh,

650
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: you know, maybe Dio inside or Taekwon inside, and you've

651
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: got your wide nine ends, you got buck on the field.

652
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 3: It's very static this year.

653
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: It is what the hell is layout to a lot

654
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: to doing lined up behind Zire Franklin on a snap

655
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: and generating a pressure like It's been really cool seeing

656
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 4: Gus Bradley say we are going to change some stuff up.

657
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 4: I think Charlie Partridge there's a lot of credit here

658
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 4: for the from mixing up the stuff with the fronts.

659
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 4: It's been an evolution of this defense and it is

660
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: producing results. Now the test is gonna be buffalo, but

661
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 4: it's producing results right now.

662
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: A couple of things too.

663
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: It's impressive how you've adapted since the loss of Taekwon

664
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: Lewis too, and I think that was more significant to

665
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 6: right a lot of people.

666
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: I think so yeah.

667
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 6: And then the other thing is it is playing to

668
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 6: the strength of your players, looking at the guys who

669
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 6: you have in your room and what they do well,

670
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 6: and scheming for exactly that. It's to steal a line

671
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 6: from coach Vanchuri, just because I listened to Rick so

672
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 6: much you in my ear on gaming players not plays right,

673
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: and I think this is a situation where you are

674
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 6: putting your best players in situations to make the type

675
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 6: of plays that they are capable of, and then you're

676
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 6: also letting the guys around them thrive and be.

677
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: Put in positions to be success.

678
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: I think I think it is players, not plays, but

679
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: it is also plays where like you're you're doing these

680
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: things where you are like, no one's got film on

681
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: Layatu Latu doing what he's doing. Yeah, spinner, you know,

682
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 4: and like lining up in these like weird spots on

683
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: the field. You've got you know, DeForest Buckner lining up

684
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: as a defensive end, which you know the Colts had

685
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: done a little bit in the past. But and you've

686
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: got Quitty Pay dropping into coverage, which I know, like

687
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: people always cringe. You get a defensive end dropping into coverage.

688
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: If you do it once or twice a game, that's

689
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 4: a that's a change up that can work. And it

690
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: I think all of this is making the Colts less

691
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: predictable as a defense, and that is resulting in more

692
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: pressure upfront. You know, we'll see how it again. It'll

693
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: continue against the Bills, who are a team that just

694
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: pressuring Josh Allen isn't always enough. But so far, I

695
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: really really like what I've seen. The Colts over the

696
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: last three weeks are fifth in the NFL on defense

697
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: and epa per play.

698
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: How about that.

699
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: They're playing good football. When you talk about that. We

700
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: talked about three takeaways against Minnesota. Let's go back to

701
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore. Let's go back to the scoopy score period

702
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: twenty three has a knack for the end zone. How

703
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: many is that foreman's career?

704
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 5: So four touchdowns?

705
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, well youah, four pick six's and one fumble recovery

706
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: touchdown and all of them have come in the first

707
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 6: week of November. So Kenny's first career pick six was

708
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 6: at Detroit November one of twenty twenty. He then had

709
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 6: two pick six's last year with the fam there in Carolina,

710
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 6: that was November. The fifth fumble recovery touchdown happened at

711
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 6: Minnesota on November the third. Every single one of his

712
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 6: touchdowns has come within the first five days of November.

713
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 5: Couple of things that I learned from Kenny on this.

714
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 6: His nephew latest nephew was born Sunday afternoon around two o'clock.

715
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: Oh ooh.

716
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 6: His sister had the baby around two while he was

717
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 6: waiting around the hotel. Baby Saint Kenny Moore is now

718
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 6: an uncle times eight, four nieces, four nephews. So I said,

719
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 6: I think baby Saint has to get your touchdown ball. Yeah, right, like,

720
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 6: I mean, there's something in the universe with this, he said.

721
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 6: The greater significance of it, he credits David Thornton, Colt's

722
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 6: VP of player Engagement, of course, former linebacker. Because DT's

723
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 6: birthday is November the first, so he says that he

724
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 6: has always promised DT he would do something special in

725
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: recognition of DT's birthday. So he's given like one of

726
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 6: the touchdow down balls has gone to DT, along with

727
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 6: like a signed jersey. So that is Kenny manifesting a

728
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 6: little bit of this and speaking this into existence.

729
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: I think that's really freaking cool.

730
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 6: Like I don't know, there's nothing to it in terms

731
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 6: of like I don't know that you can statistically equate

732
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 6: anything to it, but just wild right. And then the

733
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 6: other thing to take note of Kenny's tackle on t

734
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: J Hockinson, like the w W e Oh yeah, okay,

735
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 6: do you know why w W? Well, No, he was

736
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 6: cognizant of TJ Hockinson coming back off of the injury

737
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 6: and was trying to stop him in a way that

738
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 6: would not that you know, tried to avoid any sort

739
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 6: of additional force on his leg.

740
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: Yes, nice guy too, that Kenny Moore.

741
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: How about that nice guy.

742
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 5: So look it out.

743
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: You know that is You're gonna say it's because like

744
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 4: it's he was like tackling an actual Viking.

745
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 5: Yo, that would be interesting.

746
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 6: No, But like Ken, he is as cerebral as any

747
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 6: player out there, and like the cognition of that big

748
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: hey making the stop but doing it like mindfully, like

749
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 6: knowing everything that's going on, like all that processing.

750
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeap, Kenny Well said, I mean well done, like it is.

751
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: But if we ever played these Vikings in the Super Bowl,

752
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: you can bury the I mean just bury.

753
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: Him like Grant Stewart did on that screen pass.

754
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: Oh wow about that.

755
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: That guy tackles like a missile.

756
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

757
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: Like there is no more aesthetically pleasing thing for the

758
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: Colts defense than Grant Stewart thumping a tackle because he

759
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 4: got the hair flying everywhere, Oh my god. And he

760
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: like the way that he tackles. It's always just like

761
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: it looks probably thirty percent more physical. It might actually

762
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 4: be because of the hair and he's physical already. Really

763
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 4: esthetically pleasing Grant Steward.

764
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 6: Jane S.

765
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 5: Dyken described him as relentless energy. That Grant Steward. He

766
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 5: was like even in practice, he is.

767
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 6: Balls to the wall flying around all the time, and

768
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 6: it's like that totally tracks for.

769
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Me, right absolutely, Okay, we went over to the offense.

770
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: Those guys who went over to the defense, and now

771
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: let's continue to run to the playoffs. And you know

772
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: it's still there obviously you're game back. Yeah right there

773
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, like real quick, Jeffrey, this is all

774
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: doom and gloom right now about the Colts coming off

775
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 2: this loss. You lost a lot of games left quarterback

776
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: change all that. You're one game behind the Denver Broncos

777
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: and you still play them in week fifteen. You're well,

778
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: you got the Bengals sitting there. Who are you're tied with?

779
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: Record wise? They got to go through that gauntlet of

780
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: the the AFC North, like a lot can happen. The

781
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: Colts need to fix a lot of stuff. There's a

782
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: lot of things that have to improve. But if they do,

783
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: there's still time. Oh yeah, there's still time for this

784
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: team to make a playoff run. Also is right there

785
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: in front of them.

786
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 6: You just came off of a brutal stretch of October.

787
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 6: Excuse me, with all these road games, Colts are three

788
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 6: and one at home, You've got some really good home

789
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 6: games coming up, you know, I mean.

790
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: These are tough games, your two best I mean, but

791
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: you get.

792
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 5: Them at home.

793
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 6: I mean the difference of playing Buffalo in Buffalo or

794
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 6: Detroit in Detroit, those are two good.

795
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: Ones to get inside.

796
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: The ASI like that.

797
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: It was loud at us Bank Stadium, but Buffalo and Detroit,

798
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: but you know the way that they're going those are

799
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: two of the loudest environments too.

800
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you want to get them on.

801
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: What do we expect to see?

802
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: Guys? Give me the scenario. Offensively, the Bills are coming in.

803
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, what's a Josh Allen led team.

804
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: Here's here's what I'm thinking.

805
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 6: What are you thinking taking about in twenty twenty one

806
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 6: when Jonathan Taylor had five tds against Buffalo.

807
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 4: There we go that twenty two Okay, hold on here,

808
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 4: let me go back to that twenty twenty one game

809
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: because that let's go back to it.

810
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 5: The Colts were well talked to Bradin Smith about it

811
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: last week.

812
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Coults are five and five going into that game.

813
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo was six and three. We're not all that far

814
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: off here. That game was in Buffalo. Shamil and the

815
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: Colts are also just coming off they had beat Jacksonville

816
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 4: the week prior, but it was not a good game.

817
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: Pretty ugly. Uh okay, okay, we're maybe maybe we're cooking

818
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 4: with something here.

819
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: It could be.

820
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 6: I mean, think about the guys who were upfront for

821
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 6: him in that game, Braden Smith, Quent and Nelson Ryan

822
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 6: Kelly all part of that one.

823
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 4: So my god, you pull up Jonathan Taylor's stat line

824
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 4: from this game and it's just like, oh my.

825
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,640

828
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: also had three catches for nineteen yards at the touchdown.

829
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: Josh Allen in that game with twenty one to thirty

830
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: five for two and nine with two picks George Otom

831

832
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 4: of that game was caught Byiah Franklin thrown by Mitch Trubisky.

833
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, okay, Hey, we always played these guys good.

834
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm expecting a huge crazy crown at Lucas Oil.

835
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: Let's get this.

836
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty, the playoff games absolutely won game and yeah,

837
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 4: film won that game.

838
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like, boy, you ain't kidding on it.

839
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: So I like the matchup. It's the time, like JJ said,

840
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: the best, Remember, Lara, you said it to remember that

841
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: a lot of football left every wan's doom and gloom.

842
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: And what are we doing bringing Anthony Richardson? Okay, you know,

843
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 2: experiment over go back to this kid and everything like that. Hey,

844
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: by the way, these guys are head coaches and general

845
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: managers that know a lot more than you do, more

846
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: than that I do.

847
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: And with eight games left, anything can happen in this league.

848
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: We've seen it.

849
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: It's crazy the way the division is set up right now.

850
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 2: But don't be surprised if the Colts are right there

851
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: at the end. And I'm telling you it starts this

852
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: week with the Bills.

853
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 5: There was something last week too that piqued my interest.

854
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 5: Since you're saying that too.

855
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 6: Shane was asked about potentially having a package of plays

856
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 6: for Anthony in there, and he.

857
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 5: He did not dismiss it. He did not shut that down.

858
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 6: It was an interesting if you were really right, JJ,

859
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 6: you were listening to that, it was an interesting notation

860
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 6: that you know, there's there's still some things that they're

861

Speaker 3: It was really cool.

920
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: And like I tweeted it at the end of the concert,

921
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, if you actively dislike

922
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift, I just hate. That's like that that's unfounded hate.

923
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 4: You can be like, yeah, she's not for me, but

924
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 4: like if you're like, oh I hate, that's just like

925
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: what are we doing?

926
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: And here's awesome.

927
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 6: The whole take on it is not to like diminish

928
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 6: like house significant, like the enjoyment of it all. My

929
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 6: whole thing is actually I saw her years ago, much

930
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 6: different to her I've seen her once, and just the

931
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 6: number of my friends who were trying to take their

932
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 6: little girls and different things.

933
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 5: I'm like a spot.

934
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 6: I shouldn't take a spot from someone else who was

935
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 6: like I am dying to be there, Like my younger

936
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 6: sister who went on Friday, and so I'm like, there

937
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 6: is someone much more deserving of going and appreciating that

938
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 6: show than me. So that's kind of why in those situations,

939
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,959

940
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,680

941
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 6: who you know, obviously, and I had so many friends

942
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 6: who were getting tickets last minute, doing things, getting pictures

943
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 6: from them, dressing up with their daughters and taking them

944
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 6: to the show. So there are so many lifelong memories

945
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 6: that I know were made for some of my friends

946
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: and their families, which I love, love.

947
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,719

Speaker 3: Boy, this this game this weekend, Like I haven't really

974
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: thought about it. You like it though?

975
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 4: You I can tell you, like my Buffalo coming to town. Yeah,

976
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 4: weirder things have happened. If you're all down on this team, don't.

977
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 6: Thinks like, can we all go back to twenty twenty

978
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 6: two when the Colts beat the Kansas City Chiefs at home?

979
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are got there two teams, but like, I mean,

980
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: there's I'm just saying like that.

981
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 6: And then I heard Joe Wright say this this morning.

982
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 6: I was listening to him and like, let's be honest,

983
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 6: no one's smarter than Joe Wright's.

984
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, I work with him too much.

985
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 6: But Joe was saying that there is nothing more dangerous

986
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 6: than a team like this that's in the situation they

987
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 6: are now. He considers this Colts team to be very

988
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 6: dangerous going up against Buffalo, who barely escaped last weekend.

989
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 6: That's true.

990
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that was twenty Miami.
