38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: continuity the Colts are bringing back.

00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,640

00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: So with that a mind, let's recap Sunday's win over

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: the Jags and also talk about the conclusion of the

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: seas He's in on the.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Game, rewind.

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: When Colts out lasted the Jaguars, on Sunday in overtime,

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: winning twenty six to twenty three. Jonathan Taylor was the

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: star for the Colts on offense. He ran the ball

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: a career high thirty four times for one hundred and

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: seventy seven yards and found the end zone in the

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 4: first half. It was his fourth straight one hundred yard

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: rushing game and he tied Eric Dickerson for the second

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: most one hundred yard rushing games in team history now

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: with twenty four. He also passed Lenny Moore for the

53
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: most total touchdowns by a Colts player in their first

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: five seasons with fifty five, and also finished the season

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: with eleven rushing touchdowns over fourteen hundred yards, finishing fourth

56
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: in the NFL and rushing total, and he had six

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns in the last three games of the season.

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: In the passing game for the Colts, Alec Pierce had

59
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: the highlight of the day. He posted two catches for

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: fifty seven yards, but a forty yard touchdown on the

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: opening drive of the game. It was his seventh touchdown

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: of the season. That's the most receiving scores by Colts

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: wide out in a season since twenty sixteen. He also

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: had seven catches over forty yards this year. That's the

65
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: second most in the NFL, and he also finishes the

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: season leading the league in yards per catch at twenty

67
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: two point four. That's the highest yards per catch total

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL since twenty ten. Elsewhere on the season,

69
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: the Colts finished one game worse than they did in

70
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. All eight of the wins this year

71
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: for the Colts were decided by one score, and seven

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: of their eight wins were against teams under five hundred

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: and with that, it's clear going into the offseason the

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: Colts are looking for better results against the NFL's best.

75
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: They were just one and seven against teams this year

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: that made the postseason all right again. A reminder coming

77
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: up on segment two, I'll be joined by Colts analyst

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: Rick Finturi and Joe Wrights. They're going to take your

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: social media questions a little bit later in the show.

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: Get those in Tonight per Usual with the hashtag Colts

81
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: Roundtable on x. You can also use that same formula

82
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: right now to get in your questions and thoughts for

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: head coach Shane Steichen, who joins us per Usual in

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: this conversation. Here is brought to you by Citizens Energy Group. Coach,

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: always appreciate the time doing this one final time. Like

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: we said in twenty twenty four in terms of recapping

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: the season, congrats on the win to close out the year.

88
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: And you know, some said it was a.

89
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: Meaningless game and it didn't matter if the Colts won

90
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: or lost. What was important about winning that game from

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: your perspective going into the offseason.

92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: And we just talked all week to the players about

93
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: finishing the season strong, obviously a division ponent at home,

94
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: and those guys fought like crazy, you know, to finish

95
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 5: it the right way, and that's what they did.

96
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: You know, the players were really upset. They were disappointed

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: the week before, you know, not making the playoffs, realizing

98
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: that fate. How did you see them handle that, but

99
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: also prepare this past week with intensity for the final

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: game of the season.

101
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: It was tough obviously coming off the loss against the Giants,

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: but again I go back, we got so many good

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: character guys on our team, and they were pros about

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 5: it all week. They came to work, they showed up,

105
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: they prepared the right way and obviously got the w

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: to finish the season.

107
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: Shane Steiken with us.

108
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: How about for you, coach, I mean, now that you're

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: done with the season, what kind of reflections do you

110
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: have on missing out in the postseason? If you could

111
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: maybe kind of boil it down to a handful of

112
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: things that that cost this team in terms of missing

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: out on postseason play.

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think when you look through a season and

115
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: you don't make the postseason, obviously you go back and

116
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 5: there's obviously a couple games here, a couple plays there

117
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: that could be the difference, and uh, those are the

118
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 5: things that's part of the NFL. But we got to

119
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: do everything in our power to get that correct and

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: moving forward.

121
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: You know, Jim Irsay releases a statement last night, tremendous

122
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 4: faith in yourself and Chris Ballard to get things turned

123
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: around for next season. What did that mean to you?

124
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: How much does that statement resonate after a tough season?

125
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's obviously huge obviously to have, you know, the

126
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 5: support of the owner, mister Ersay, who I have great

127
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 5: respect for, a great human being, you know, to have

128
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 5: the trust and faith in me moving forward with this organization.

129
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: In terms of the season, Anthony Richardson that quarterback plays

130
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: in eleven games, miss four games, due to injuries and

131
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: then two to the benching. How would you assess his

132
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: second season with the Colts.

133
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 5: I thought there was growth there. Obviously we had our

134
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: ups and downs in our sheriff adversity, but he did

135
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 5: make strides as a professional in all aspects of his game,

136
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 5: and that's something obviously we got to keep going through

137
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 5: in the offseason.

138
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: What things do you want to see him work on

139
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: in the offseason.

140
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are discussions that we're going to have here

141
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 5: in the following weeks. Obviously, obviously the players got some

142
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 5: time away. I know he's got, you know, a throwing

143
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: coach that he goes down to in Florida that he

144
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: works with, So we'll have those discussions.

145
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 4: Here move forward elsewhere. On offense, Jonathan Taylor over fourteen

146
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: hundred yards this year, ends the season on a tear.

147
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 4: Yesterday thirty four carries, a new career high fourth straight

148
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: one hundred yard game. Taylor ran for six touchdowns over

149
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: the last four games of the season, and it was

150
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: just vintage Jonathan Taylor to close out the year, proving

151
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: that again he's still one of the best backs in

152
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: the NFL.

153
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he is. He's got great vision, great

154
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 5: patience and then obviously the home run speed and obviously

155
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: he's that all year again. Three you know, one thousand

156
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 5: yard seasons rushing the football. I mean, just a you know,

157
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: a tremendous talent there.

158
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: Shane Stiking is with us. You know, the offensive line

159
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: deserves a lot of credit as well. How pleased were

160
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: you with that group, a group that saw a lot

161
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: of attrition this year?

162
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was very pleased with those guys. That's a

163
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: tight knit group, you know, and I think Tony, our

164
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: line coach, does a hell of a job of keeping

165
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: those guys tight in that room. Obviously we had some

166
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 5: injuries you know, that we had to overcome and guys

167
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: stepping up again. Tony does a great job coaching these guys,

168
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: regardless of their rookie and undrafted free agent, he coaches

169
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: them all the same and obviously they did a great

170
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 5: job this year.

171
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: Final couple of things with head coach Shane Stike and

172
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: then we'll get into some fan questions here. Coach, I

173
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: know your time is limited today. What was your final

174
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: message to the guys in the locker room following the game?

175
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is there's no failure

176
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: in sports, right, everyone wants to win, right, But like,

177
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 5: if you don't win the championship, is it a failed season. No,

178
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: it's disappointment and its frustration. And we want to put

179
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: a winning product on that field, you know, so this

180
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: city can be proud of. And that's what we're striving

181
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: to do. And I'm gonna work my ass off, you know,

182
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: this offseason to get that done.

183
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: How about for you, how tough is it to deal

184
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: with the finality of the season because you've got contracts

185
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: and free agency and trade you know, year to year.

186
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: I mean, this group is never coming back intact the

187
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: way it was yesterday. And some of these guys in

188
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: the locker room you really like, you really enjoy and

189
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: they work their tail off for you all season long.

190
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no question. Obviously the offseason, you know, with

191
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 5: roster movement changes and stuff, obviously there's gonna be a

192
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: lot of hard conversations that take place. But you know,

193
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, we got to do

194
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 5: it's best for the organization moving Yeah.

195
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: How about for you again, what what does the rest

196
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: of the week look like for you talking with players

197
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: and coaches and doing all of your evaluates.

198
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 5: Me a lot of valuations. I'll meet with all the

199
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: players you know this week. Obviously you meet with the coaches,

200
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 5: and then obviously we'll get into the self scout stuff

201
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 5: and start, you know, looking up the draft.

202
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: Let's take some questions from the fans to close out here,

203
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: submit your questions using hashtag Colts Roundtable. Jacob is up next.

204
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: He's asking coach, what do we need to do on

205
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: defense to have much better results for next season?

206
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 5: Obviously, you know, I think one of the biggest issues

207
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: this year was just tackling, you know what I mean.

208
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: We got to do a great a but tackling moving forward,

209
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: you know, and getting after the quarterback.

210
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: Yep, all right. Michael is up.

211
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: Is Anthony Richardson's accuracy something that's tied into decision making

212
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: and how can we improve there?

213
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: I think with any young player, right, accuracy can be improved,

214
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: and we're gonna go through those. And I think the

215
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: more you see, the more reps you get, the more

216
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: you're in the system, I mean, that stuff develops, you know,

217
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 5: But we got to do a hell of a job.

218
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 5: And it's not just about him, It's about me and

219
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 5: everybody pulling in the same direction to get that.

220
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: Going right, all right.

221
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: A couple more here, Angelo is asking how much input

222
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: will you have with Chris ballor when it comes to

223
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: outside free agents and can we bring in more playmakers

224
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: on offense?

225
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean those conversations me and Chris will have. Absolutely,

226
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 5: we're in this thing together and we'll have those conversations.

227
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: All right. Last one from Mitch.

228
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: He's asking, coach, will you change anything about the offseason

229
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: workout program this spring after two seasons'm missing out in

230
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: the playoffs?

231
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

232
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Obviously I'm gonna look and evaluate everything. You know

233
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 5: what I mean, There's obviously gonna be things that we

234
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: have to adjust moving forward. It can't say status quo,

235
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 5: and so I'll take everything into consideration.

236
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: All right.

237
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,120

284
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, on Monday night here, it looks like the snow

285
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: is done and I think the roads are all getting plowed.

286
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: But man, I tell you what, the rights household was excited.

287
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: You get two weeks off for Christmas break, then you

288
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: get extended another day for a snow day. Yeah, I

289
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: mean that's a that's a kid's dream right there. So

290
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: we had one more night of staying up a little

291
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: bit later and they called school about six o'clock last night,

292
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: and there was some celebrations, so no doubt, but yeah,

293
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: tonight and tomorrow morning got to be a rude awakening

294
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: for my kids and probably a lot of others as

295
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: you snapped back to a six thirty am.

296
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: Wake up call. So there you go. Nothing like starting

297
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: that work week on a Tuesday. Huh rick. That's that's

298
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: the good old days right there. For the for the

299
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: kids that get that extra day of Christmas vacation.

300
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 6: Well, when you got the Brady bunch like Joe Dove,

301
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: I'd be handing out shovels. Man, I got no help

302
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 6: were here, so I'm calling for help. But it was

303
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 6: it was a nightmare for me. I mean it was good. Really.

304
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 6: It was an hour and forty five minutes usually a

305
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: you know, a forty minute drive.

306
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: Well that's because you live in Michigan.

307
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I really live a mile from Cicero, so you know,

308
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 6: going north, I thought it was going to be better,

309
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 6: but it was just it was just ice packed. It

310
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 6: was so bad. I usually take State Road thirty eight over.

311
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: I missed it. I ended up to take some country

312
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 6: road back. But you know, we made it. And just

313
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 6: think if you were the Jaguars after a four and

314
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 6: thirteen season, yeah, and you end up getting stuck at

315
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 6: the airport. They don't even I guess they didn't take

316
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 6: off till one o'clock least. I don't know if they fired,

317
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 6: you know, if they fired Peterson on the plane or

318
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 6: do you think he got home at three and got

319
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 6: fired at seven? I mean, wow, yeah, yeah.

320
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Well nevertheless, it's not good.

321
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 4: So, yeah, there's changes in Jacksonville, and you know, certainly

322
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: a lot of shakeup inside the division as three of

323
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: the four teams inside the AFC South finish under five hundred.

324
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that.

325
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: And you know, normally this first thing that we do

326
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: here with Rick and Joe, we get into a segment

327
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: called tail the tape where we rehashed the previous day's

328
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 4: game film. I don't think there's a whole lot of

329
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: merit in doing that. So let's shift into some big

330
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: topics here for the Colts heading into the offseason, and

331
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 4: we talked about what's going on in Jacksonville. Here in Indanapolis,

332
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: we've got continuity. Sunday night, Colts owner Jim Ursy released

333
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: a long statement revealing that GM Chris Ballard and head

334
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: coach Shane Steiken will return in twenty twenty five. The

335
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: statement did acknowledge whatever you want to call it, dissatisfaction

336
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: frustration within the Colts fan base that hasn't seen the

337
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: Colts make the postseason since twenty twenty. The Colts haven't

338
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: hosted a playoff game since twenty fourteen, that was the

339
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: last year they won the AFC South. But Rick, your

340
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 4: initial thoughts with the Colts sticking with the g I

341
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: AM and the head coach going into twenty and twenty

342
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: five after missing out in the postseason in twenty twenty four, Well,

343
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: I really.

344
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: Think Matt that so far everything is in my opinion.

345
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 6: And I said this to everybody yesterday when I was asked,

346
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:21,119
Speaker 6: it's totally predictable. If you go back to my interview

347
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 6: with Jim back in August, which you know is the

348
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 6: gold standard with Jim because with me, he's trust you know,

349
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 6: he sometimes he's really too candid. In that interview during

350
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 6: the preseason, and you know, he made it clear his

351
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 6: thoughts about Chris. He called him blue chip, he called

352
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: Stike in the next shula Matt Frackty got a lot

353
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: of pushback from it. But I think number one, I

354
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: think he really believes that. I think there's a true

355
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 6: belief in those two guys. And then I think one

356
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 6: A what I think one A is, and maybe even

357
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 6: more important than that is I think three people are

358
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 6: tied at the hip. I mean, I think it's a

359
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: holy trinity. It's it's Richardson, it's Stiking, and it's Ballard.

360
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 6: And a lot of people knew that when Chris drafted

361
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: him that he was in a way by in some time.

362
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: And I think those three guys are tied at the hip.

363
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, basically, they're going to roll

364
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 6: the dice one more time. I don't know, you know,

365
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 6: I don't think it's long term, but I think they

366
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 6: will roll the dice one more time. And I think

367
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 6: Jim feels those guys are are critical to it now,

368
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 6: you know, regardless really of whether heads roll or they

369
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 6: don't roll. Certain things have to be fixed, whether it's

370
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 6: done with the guys that he's kept, you know, whether

371
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: it's new guys he brings in down the road. But

372
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: you know, I think number one personnel lives. We've got

373
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 6: to stop overvaluing our own players and take a foot

374
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 6: more of a toe into free agency. We paid one

375
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty five million dollars to play it back

376
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 6: with an average team that now has sunk below average.

377
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 6: You know, we got a head coach. It's got to

378
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 6: get better at head coaching. He's a really good X

379
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 6: and O guy, but he's got to get better. He's

380
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 6: seventeen and seventeen he's got to be a lot more forceful.

381
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 6: And what I'm saying here is obviously these guys are

382
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 6: going to be in place, but also it's important for

383
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 6: Jim to mandate certain things and say, listen, these things

384
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 6: aren't working. I'm staying with you guys, but you have

385
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 6: to do this, you know. And then the performance and

386
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 6: that's still up for grabs. But the performance for the

387
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 6: defense is just three years, it's just indefensible. I mean,

388
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 6: you you know, in three years, scoring defense twenty eight,

389
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: twenty eight, twenty four, this year, twenty ninth, total third

390
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 6: down thirtieth, thirtieth in past percentage against versus primarily JV quarterbacks,

391
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: fourth quarter defense number thirty two. This just can't go on. So,

392
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: you know, I think those three things are the key

393
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 6: issues as to whether we go forward. And you know,

394
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 6: whether or not it's you know, it's the same guys

395
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 6: that we have, like we've you know, we've given them

396
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 6: a vote of confidence, but you know, I think those

397
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 6: things have to change regardless of who the people are.

398
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just to piggyback off what coach said, you know,

399
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: looking at it from a player's perspective, you know, I

400
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 3: think there's a there's a sense of disappointment in that

401
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 3: locker room, there's kind of a sense of wonder, and

402
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: there's a figure it out aspect that has got to

403
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: happen from the players. And you know, you heard DeForest

404
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: Buckner speak earlier today and he was pretty candid and said,

405
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: this is the worst defense since I've been here, you know,

406
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: all eleven guys weren't always on the same page, and

407
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 3: basically said that there's ego involved and that stuff's got

408
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: to get checked. You know, from the leaders of the

409
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: locker room and in the accountability that's coming from the

410
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 3: fifty three guys you know that are fighting week in

411
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: and week out.

412
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: I thought Joe.

413
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: Flacco had a really honest quote after the game where

414
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 3: he basically said, you know, the tendency is when you're

415
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: eight and nine, you're a game out of the playoffs,

416
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: that you think you're really close, but in some ways

417
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: you're not. And I think there's got to be a

418
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: lot of self evaluation across the board, from you know,

419
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: scouting department, to the coaching staff and then to the

420
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: players and realizing that one we got to get better

421
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: in terms of talent influx in the locker room, but two,

422
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: the locker room has got to be a more cohesive

423
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: unit and everybody on the same page. And there's really

424
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: no excuse for not doing that from a player's perspective,

425
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: in my opinion, in terms of having egos and guys

426
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: that have interest, you know, that are outside of just

427
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: winning football games, because you know, eight and nine, it's

428
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: a losing season, and I think you can trick yourself

429
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: into thinking we're one game away from the playoffs, or

430
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: we beat Houston one time and we win the division.

431
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 3: But you know, for the last four years, there's been

432
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: a lot of woulda, could have, should have if only

433
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: we're just there. Bottom line, it's been four years since

434
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: we made the playoffs, it's been ten years since we've

435
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: won the division, and that is just really disappointing for

436
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: a franchise. You know, that is used to excellence as

437
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: the standard. And you know, when you look at the

438
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: Colts this season, you know, I know we were eight

439
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: and nine, but you know we had a minus fifty

440
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: point differential on the season and you know, a one

441
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: point win against New England where Richardson had to be

442
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: Superman four times on the last drive, and a one

443
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 3: point win against the Jets, and five point win against

444
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: the Bears at home, three point win against Tennessee. So

445
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: I think there's just got to be just a level

446
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: and the bar has to be raised from everybody. But

447
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: you know, I agree with with coach in terms of,

448
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's coming back in terms of your top

449
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: three GM head coach and quarterback. And I do think

450
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 3: that there's a standard in a bar that has to

451
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 3: be raised. And I think that there's a lot of

452
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: pressure this offseason and pressure going into the season. But

453
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing, right. Pressure can burst

454
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: pipes or pressure can create diamonds, and I think there

455
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: just has to be a level of that that has

456
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: been increased from seasons past for this Colts team to

457
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: get back to being you know what all of this

458
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: loyal fan base is used to see in from the

459
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: Blue and White.

460
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: Well, I want to pick up there. You mentioned the pressure, Joe,

461
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: and you seem to think that's a healthy thing, or

462
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 4: could be a healthy thing going into this offseason with

463
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: all the pressure that now might be on the Colts

464
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: to get this right and you know, to get this

465
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: ship point in the right direction in a short amount

466
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: of time in one offseason's time to get back to

467
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: the postseason, which is where everybody strives to be, but

468
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: they've just fallen short consistently in the last four seasons.

469
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: No question.

470
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: I think pressure brings daily accountability and I think you

471
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: should have that as a player, and you know, we

472
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: all need to be our own best leaders, but it

473
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: also needs to be coming from other places if guys

474
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 3: aren't getting it done. And so that's how I look

475
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 3: at it. I think there's there's certainly going to be changes,

476
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: whether they're you know, the roster, the coaching staff, whatever

477
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: it may be. But you know, there has to be

478
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 3: kind of a new standard and a higher standard where

479
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 3: it's basically enough is enough. And I think that's where

480
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: the frustration comes in as fans is you know, hey,

481
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: we haven't We're not playing next week, and we haven't

482
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: done it for a long time. And every other team

483
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: in our division, you know, has won the division at

484
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: least twice since we've won it last and when is

485
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: it the Colts term? And I just think that it's

486
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: a it's a daily level of accountability and a standard

487
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 3: that has to be raised in that locker room or

488
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: we're going to get the same results at the end

489
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: of the next season.

490
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: What do you make of that pressure, Rick, I mean,

491
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: there's a lot of it now going forward here.

492
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 6: I don't think I don't think there's been enough of it.

493
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 6: I totally you know, I totally agree with Joe. I mean,

494
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 6: the best coaching job that I ever did as an

495
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 6: assistant coach was nineteen ninety four with Bill when I

496
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 6: worked for you know, I worked for Belichick and Saban

497
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 6: in between the two of them, and I was nauseated

498
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 6: every single day that I went into the the building

499
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 6: because I was accountable twenty four hours a day. But

500
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 6: you know what, I rose to the occasion. And you know,

501
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 6: the good ones will rise to the occasion, and if

502
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 6: they don't, then you get rid of them. You call

503
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 6: it out, you know, And so you know, accountability is

504
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 6: incredible and it's necessary, more necessary in the NFL than

505
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 6: any other sport because it's a high, low emotional sport.

506
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 6: You know, you play once a week, you get analyzed

507
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 6: seven days a week. You win a game, you're on

508
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 6: an emotional haul. You lose a game, you're at the bottom.

509
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 6: And so you have to keep that team accountable day

510
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 6: after day after day, or else it will have those

511
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 6: high lows. And I there's no question about it. There's

512
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 6: I never feel any pressure around here, and that's that's

513
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: really important. I think that we establish it.

514
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,280

Speaker 4: a proud sports betting partner of the Indianapolis Colts. We're

549
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 4: back here on the show. I'm Matt Taylor, joined by

550
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: Rick Venturion Joe Wrights, and on the last segment we

551
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: talked about the return of Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard.

552
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 4: According to Jim Irsay in that public statement on social media,

553
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: now let's talk about the return of Anthony Richardson. He's

554
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 4: going into year number three and by not playing against

555
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: the Jaguars in Week eighteen, he's missed seventeen games in

556
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: his young career due to injury. If you break it down,

557
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: one due to a concussion, twelve due to our right shoulder,

558
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 4: two with an oblique, two with a back, And he's

559
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: missed nineteen total games, seventeen due to injury, and two

560
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 4: to the benching early this season. So he's played in

561
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: just fifteen games so far in his young two year career,

562
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: and now it begins a very critical offseason for him.

563
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: And if you look at the book on Richardson, fell

564
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: as he saw some really big fourth quarter moments this year.

565
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 4: He led three game winning drives, but still plenty of

566
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 4: questions linger around his health, his accuracy in the leadership too,

567
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 4: after he was benched earlier in the season due to

568
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: some things that were going on off of the field.

569
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 4: So after fifteen games in the NFL, he's completing fifty

570
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: point six percent of his passes, averaging right around seven

571
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 4: yards per attempt. That's a good number, but also compiling

572
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 4: a quarterback rating of sixty seven point eight. His completion

573
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: percentage and passer rating ranked last in the NFL this season.

574
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: So Rick, I'll start with you just in terms of

575
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 4: the roundtable discussion here on the Colts quarterback, how do

576
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 4: you assess the season that Richardson just turned in as

577
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 4: up and down and stop and start as it was

578
00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 4: this year.

579
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you chronicle the key numbers. I mean, the key

580
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 6: numbers are what they are. You know, I see him

581
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 6: as at this point certainly as a two trick pony.

582
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 6: By that, I mean, you know, he is a guy

583
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 6: who's a beast as a runner. You know, his game

584
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: really improved, not so much, I don't believe in the psychological,

585
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 6: but his game improved when the coaching staff after the

586
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 6: benching actually went to an NCAA offense and featured him

587
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 6: really as running back too, because that's really what he is.

588
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 6: He's a beast running the ball. And he gives defensive

589
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 6: coordinators fits because he adds extra gaps to the defense.

590
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 6: And he's a good deep ball thrower. He's very accurate,

591
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 6: he can throw it deep, he's willing to throw it deep,

592
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: and he does those two things really well. I always

593
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 6: liken him to an NBA player who either is a

594
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 6: slam dunk guy or a three point guy and has

595
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 6: absolutely no mid range game. And he doesn't, and that's

596
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 6: why the passing percentage is so bad because he doesn't

597
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 6: really and three things give you a mid range game,

598
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 6: you've got to be able to anticipate which he's behind.

599
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 6: He doesn't do that well yet. You know, he's got

600
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: to be able to anticipate. You have to throw with

601
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 6: pinpoint accuracy in the NFL on that's the difference in

602
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 6: a Sunday game and his Saturday game. The ball has

603
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 6: to be perfect. It has to be thrown to guys open,

604
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 6: not thrown to open receivers. And then he has very

605
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 6: little touch on the short game. You know, he'll have

606
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 6: downs in the flat and he'll overthrow him by ten yards.

607
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 6: So if he's going to get better, if he's going

608
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 6: to take the next step, then those are the things

609
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 6: that have to be addressed in the off season. Anticipation

610
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 6: that means a lot of tape working. LSU is state

611
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 6: of the art, believe it or not. A lot of

612
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 6: people are visiting there. They have now a virtual training system,

613
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 6: you know, a little bit like a Madden game, but

614
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 6: it's for quarterbacks. Burrows did it, Daniels did it, now

615
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 6: Nesmeyer did it, and I guess their state of the arts.

616
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 6: That's something I would look into because he has to

617
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 6: be able to see the game and advance, see coverages,

618
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 6: see pressures, and know when and where to go with it.

619
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 6: I think he needs a lot of work on mechanics,

620
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 6: and it's not so much delivery, it's just accuracy and touch.

621
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 6: And that's only going to become work over and over

622
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 6: and over because as it stands right now, and a

623
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: really good former defensive coordinator in the NFL said to

624
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 6: me the other day, defensing Richardson is like defensing a

625
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 6: wildcat quarterback. And that's good news bad news. It's good

626
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: news because it puts pressure on you. But you are

627
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 6: not going to win in the National Football League. You're

628
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 6: just not without an intermediate passing game. When Joe Flacco

629
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 6: goes on the field, we score points and we look

630
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 6: like an NFL team throwing the ball. It's night and

631
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 6: day whether we want it or not. I mean, Joe's

632
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 6: put up thirty three, thirty four, put up twenty six

633
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: yesterday and you and all of a sudden, guys are

634
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 6: flourishing like tears and kiddmen in downs. It's just totally different.

635
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 6: So you know, I mean, that's got to be the

636
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 6: off season or or else they'll be They'll be a

637
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 6: real uh, they'll be. They'll there'll be a lot rolling

638
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 6: of heads next year.

639
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: And Joe for discussion, sake. I mean we talked about it, right,

640
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: the the completion percentage this season, Joe, for you, what

641
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 4: what are the realistic areas of growth for him next season?

642
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: Where does he need to get to in order for

643
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: the Colts to win big with his playing style, capitalizing

644
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 4: on all that he can do, which is why the

645
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: Colts drafted him where they did fourth overall in twenty

646
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: twenty three.

647
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, Matt. And I think for me, I'm

648
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 3: gonna take a little bit of a different direction, if

649
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: that's okay. When I look at Richardson and you know,

650
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: in my opinion, you know, he's buying to be the

651
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback of this team for the next decade, right,

652
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 3: And I've always thought I evaluated a franchise quarterback from

653
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: my perspective as a player, into three different categories. The first,

654
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: does he set a standard of excellence? Is he the

655
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: first guy in the building? Is he the last guy

656
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: to leave? Does he set kind of that work standard

657
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: for the other fifty two guys? And you just have

658
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: to do that As an NFL quarterback, it's the most

659
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: important position in sports. It's the most valuable position in sports.

660
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: And that's why you know those guys get paid fifty

661
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: million dollars a year to do it, and so that's

662
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: number one. The second is does he inspire me to

663
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: go beyond myself as a player?

664
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: Can he rally the troops?

665
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: Am I going to run through a wall for this

666
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: quarterback and block like crazy for this guy because I

667
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: believe in him, you know, and because I deeply care

668
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: about him, and you know, I'll never forget. You know,

669
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: It's a training camp and it's hot and ninety degrees

670
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: and I'm dying or in a two minute drill, and

671
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: and Andrew Luck looks at me and yells at me,

672
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: and he's like, we need you, we need you. Come on,

673
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: And he could tell I was ready to fall out

674
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: and tap out.

675
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

676
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: But that right there, those type of things you're inspired

677
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: as a player to push beyond yourself for your quarterback.

678
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: So I mean, does he rally the troops?

679
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 6: You know?

680
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: And do I believe in his number? Two? And then

681
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: third is on the field? Is it when I'm in

682
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: the huddle with him? Do I have that belief that

683
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: we're down ten points in the fourth quarter with ten

684
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: minutes to go, and we're backed up on our own

685
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: ten yard line, I have one hundred percent conviction that

686
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: this guy in the huddle can take us down the

687
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: field twice and win the football game. And so for me,

688
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: those three areas right there. I think there's question marks

689
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: for ar in all three categories on the field, off

690
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: the field, and just his general leadership and command of

691
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: the other, you know, fifty two guys in the locker room.

692
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: And so for me, it's such an important offseason for

693
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: him because I think in a lot of ways it's

694
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: a it's a make or break for him this next

695
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: season in terms of being the franchise quarterback for the future,

696
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: and for me, it's really this offseason. To say it's

697
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: important for him would be an understatement. And I think

698
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 3: you know, it started yesterday at four o'clock for him.

699
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 3: And you know, I think whatever you have to do

700
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: in terms of from now until training camp starts in

701
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: that first regular season game after Labor Day, you got

702
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 3: to be able to do it, and whether that's extra

703
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: work with your receivers, you know, getting guys together and

704
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: throwing more. And I think Coach knows this better than anybody.

705
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: Young quarterbacks are at a disadvantage now in the NFL

706
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: because of the offseason work rules. It used to be

707
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: had fourteen weeks or sixteen weeks, and there weren't limits

708
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: on practice time and on field time, and now I

709
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: mean it's scaled down. There's like eight nine OTAs you're

710
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: only there for eight or nine weeks. And so I

711
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 3: think just the NFL's evolution from an offseason perspective has

712
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: hurt some of these young quarterbacks in terms of development.

713
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: So I really think that they got to come up

714
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: with a plan. Richardson himself has to lead it, but

715
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: with help from the team and the coaching staff in

716
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: terms of what's your day to day development plan from

717
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: now as we sit here January sixth, until the off

718
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 3: season and into the summer until training camp and that

719
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: all starts.

720
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: Rick vent Erry right there and Joe Wrights as well.

721
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 4: And that's a discussion on Anthony Richardson here heading into

722
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: the off season now that it's officially here for the

723
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 4: Colts not making the playoffs in twenty twenty four. Hey,

724
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 4: real quick, I want to go into some superlatives now

725
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: that this is going to be our last show here,

726
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: and Rick, I'll start with you. The criteria here is

727
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 4: pretty loose, pretty ambiguous, but I want to know your

728
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 4: winners for the following categories, and let's begin with most

729
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: improved Colts player for you, either offense or defense. The

730
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: guy that was most improved and showed out in twenty

731
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: twenty four.

732
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: Who's that guy for you?

733
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 6: Rick, Well, we really have two guys. Bit number one,

734
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 6: There's no question about it. Alex Pearce is just incredible.

735
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 6: I mean he's gone from a one trick pony, you know,

736
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 6: to a twenty two point three average seven tds. He

737
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 6: gets a PI every other play, which should add really

738
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 6: to his receiving total. I don't think I've ever seen

739
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: a guy improve from, you know, a role player to

740
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 6: a premier receiver number one in the league. On the

741
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 6: deep ball, you know, a guy that has turned a

742
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 6: fifty to fifty ball into eighty twenty. He's become a

743
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 6: multi purpose receiver, not just a go route guy. And

744
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 6: then right behind him, I'm gonna get I have to

745
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 6: give it to Pierce, but right behind him is Cross.

746
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 6: Cross Is just Cross went from the first bus out

747
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 6: of town to one of the premier players on our defense,

748
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 6: maybe the best absolute tackler on our defense. And so

749
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 6: I got to give him a shout out. Definitely. I

750
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 6: go to Pierson, but from a standpoint of one across

751
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 6: and it needs to be mentioned.

752
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about MVPs or outstanding players. Joe, however,

753
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: you want to label this here offensive MVP for you,

754
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 4: Joe Wrights for the Colts in twenty twenty four.

755
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I was going to start out and made

756
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 3: midway through the season, I would have said the offensive

757
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 3: line because I really felt when those five guys were

758
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: humming early in the season, we were really a premier unit.

759
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: And you know, some injuries happened, and you know, personal

760
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: matter with Braden Smith and that kind of fell off

761
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 3: a little bit. But you know, I give those guys credit.

762
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 3: I think that Nelson at certain times looked the best

763
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: in his career. I think that you know, on the

764
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: left tackle, Ryman continues to evolve. But you know, like

765
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: I said in the pregame show, we now got kind

766
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 3: of questions on center, right guard, and right tackle moving forward.

767
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: So but overall MVP, I would give it to Jonathan Taylor.

768
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: I think, you know, he's one of the premier running

769
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: backs still in the NFL. I thought, yeah, you know,

770
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: the last month or so, he really ran angry. I think,

771
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: you know, maybe some injuries and he had the ankle

772
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: early on, you know, those were kind of put to bed.

773
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: But I would say Taylor on the offensive side, and

774
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 3: then I would say Buckner on the defensive side. I

775
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 3: thought Buckner was just outstanding. You know, there were certain

776
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 3: games and he just was just completely dominant. And this

777
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: is against routine ly facing double teams. And so when

778
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: I look at the O and D MVP, those are

779
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: the two guys I'm gonna give it to.

780
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: What do you think about defense?

781
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: Rick?

782
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think like I look at it

783
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 6: two different ways, and I will answer the question directly.

784
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 6: I think the two best players on defense are Buckner

785
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 6: number one, without question in Grover. I mean, if I'm

786
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator, the only two guys on defense that

787
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 6: I'm scheming are those two guys are Buckner and Grover.

788
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 6: Those guys are superior, top tier defensive players. But I

789
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 6: think the most valuable player has to be Franklin. This

790
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 6: year one hundred and seventy three tackles, three and a

791
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 6: half sacks, two pass interceptions. Whether you like him or

792
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 6: don't like him, whether you like his off the field

793
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 6: annix or don't like it, He's given great effort. Again,

794
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 6: he put an explanation point on the game Sunday and

795
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 6: he's given his best and just production wise, you know,

796
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 6: game in, game out. You know, I have to give

797
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 6: it to Franklin. And there's one thing I do want

798
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 6: to refer to the game on Sunday. I think there's

799
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 6: one neat thing to take well. Actually I would say

800
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 6: five things to take out of it, but number one

801
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 6: is the guys that were elected to the Pro Bowl

802
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 6: played great Sunday, Taylor, Nelson and Franklin. Those three guys

803
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 6: played great. And the neat thing going forward is I

804
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 6: think the guys that put an explanation point on their

805
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 6: year this year, which really bodes well for the future,

806
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 6: is piercing downs. Those two guys have stamped themselves at playmakers.

807
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: Those are guys that you have to take care of

808
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 6: if you're a defensive coordinator.

809
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 4: All right, that's the off season grab bag, A full

836
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: a little bit, but we do have a few moments

837
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: to sneak in some of the big picture questions on

838
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,480

841

Speaker 4: the official supercenter of the Indianapolis Colts and proud sponsor

842
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: of hundreds of local sports teams across the Midwest. Okay,

843
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: let's go to Vern. Vern's question is first for Rick

844
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 4: Vincuriy tonight, how big of a jump can leatsu lot

845
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 4: to make this offseason? What's his ceiling based on what

846
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 4: you saw from him as a rookie RV.

847
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I saw some flashes that we you know,

848
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 6: that we saw when we drafted him. He's quick off

849
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 6: the edge, he runs the edge pretty well, and he's

850
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 6: got good hands. I think he's got a long way

851
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 6: to go, though, you know, he kind of disappeared from

852
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 6: the misseason on as people looked at him. I think,

853
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 6: you know, you know, it's got a long way to

854
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 6: go to to to you know, to live up to

855
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 6: the first defensive guy picked. I don't think right now

856
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 6: he plays with much power. That's why you never see

857
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 6: him in there and run defense. He's not even in

858
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 6: the goal line when you play six defensive linemen. Uh,

859
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 6: And he doesn't rush with power, and that'll catch up

860
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 6: with you. You know. At this point, he's kind of

861
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 6: a one trick pony. That is speed and run the hoop.

862
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 6: And in the long run, you're gonna have to be

863
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 6: able to put you know, play with speed to power.

864
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 6: Tackles are gonna set soft on you. Yeah. Uh, they're

865
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 6: gonna let your run behind the quarterback and you've got

866
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 6: to be able to start up and then stab them

867
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 6: right in the chest and run them back like math

868
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 6: issues to do. Or you've got to develop a tremendous

869
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 6: counter move like Freey had. Right now, we don't have that,

870
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 6: so you know, that's gonna have to be the real

871
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 6: development part of his game will be the power part

872
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 6: of it.

873
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 4: That's Rick Venturi. Joe Wrights is here as well. I'm

874
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 4: Matt Taylor. This is Colts Roundtable Live. We're taking your

Speaker 4: Joe Wrights take us home. Last quest here to close

883
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 4: out the show. This is coming from Nick and obviously

884
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: it's very broad, but he's asking, what did you learn

885
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 4: most about the Colts in twenty twenty four and what

886
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 4: are the biggest needs for this team heading into the

887
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: off season.

888
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, good question, Nick, And I think all fans are

889
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 3: one and the same thing. But you know, the bottom

890
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: line is we're not there yet, and we got to

891
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: get better, and we got to get better in a

892
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 3: lot of different areas. And I think, you know, again,

893
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: so much of the NFL depends on the quarterback and

894
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: the quarterback play. You look at all these teams playing

895
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: next week in the playoffs, and they all got, you know,

896
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: really good quarterback play. And you look at the teams

897
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: that are sitting at home watching, you know, there's a

898
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: lot of question marks and so I think, you know,

899
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: Richardson's development is the most singular issue that's pair him

900
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: out to this team. But I think the other team is,

901
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: you know, talking through it earlier, is just the overall

902
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: accountability in the locker room for the fifty three guys

903
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: and knowing what the standard is and knowing that the

904
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: standard has to be met day in and day out.

905
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: And again, that's not something you can wait till, you know,

906
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: April fifteenth and Ota start or training camp. That's something

907
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: that's got to start now, and that's something that's got

908
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: to be really driven by the leaders in the locker

909
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: room and you know, the coaching staff, you know, to

910
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: bring that standard of winning back to the Colts that

911
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 3: you know we've been missing now for far too long.

912
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 4: No question about it, well said right there, not only

913
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: in that instance, but all season long, fellas, Rick von

Speaker 4: but all season long, but we're up against it a

918
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 4: little bit. My thanks to head coach Shane Stiking, who
