As the Colts fell to the Jaguars twenty 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: four to nothing on Sunday, they moved to oh one 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: and one on the season. The Colts were shut out 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: for the first time since the twenty eighteen season. That 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: instance came with the hands of the Jaguars as well, 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: and the Colts struggles in Jacksonville continue they've lost eight 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: straight games as the row team to their division rivals. 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: The Colts trailed seventeen to nothing at halftime. It could 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: never find momentum or a rhythm in the second half. 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had his best day as a pro. 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: He went twenty five for thirty, passing for two hundred 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: and thirty five yards in the air, two touchdowns, and 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: a career high passer rating of one twenty one point five. 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: The Colts on offense, meanwhile, were held at just two 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen yards of offense. They went two for 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: ten on third down, and they made just two trips 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: inside the red zone. Jonathan Taylor ran nine times for 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: fifty four yards, only had four yards in the ground 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: and halftime, and the Colts must just nine first downs. 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was sacked five times, he threw three picks, 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: and then on defense, the Colts had a hard time 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: generating a pass rush. They recorded just two quarterback hits 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: no sacks on Lawrence. The Jaguars finished the game eight 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: for eighteen third down and fourth down situations, but they 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: were six for eight on those downs in the first 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: half as they built up a seventeen to nothing lead 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: heading into the break. Jacksonville also ball controlled the Colts 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: big time. They had the ball for over thirty eight 42 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: minutes and sustained three drives with double digit plays, and 43 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: as we said, that's a big reason why they got 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: up big at halftime. Coming up again, we'll recap the 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: game with Rick Venturry and Joe Rights. They'll join me 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: starting on the next segment. We're also going to take 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: your questions later on to the show as always, if 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: you have a thought on the Colts tweeted in tonight 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: using hashtag Colts Roundtable, and we'll do that again coming up. 50 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: But first we're gonna use those questions on Twitter to 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: speak with head coach Frank Reich. Brought to you by 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: Citizens Energy Group and coach joined us in the studio 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: now and coach, obviously a very difficult game on Sunday, 54 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: getting beat twenty four to nothing. After rewatching the game 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: again today, what are your overall takeaways from the performance 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: in week two? Yeah, just not good enough in any way, 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: in any phase. We got to find ways to get better. 58 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, surprising, we had a good week of practice. 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: You expect it to translate most times, you feel it 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: does translate to the game. We weren't able to take 61 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: that execution and focus that. We had a practice and 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: in meetings to the game on Sunday, So you know, 63 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: we got to own that. It's a long season and 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: you know, we got to find a way to stay 65 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: together and keep getting better. You know, you always hear 66 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: about the twenty four hour rule after a big win 67 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: or a loss. Do you let the guys stew on 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: this one a little bit? Knowing you've got the Chiefs 69 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: coming up and they're a very good opponent in the AFC? 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: How do you kind of handle that part knowing you've 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: got a big test coming up? Yeah, there's You're exactly 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: right there, There's not much time to stew over. You know. 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: In fact, we kind of yeah, everyone talks about the 74 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule, but really, when we start evaluating 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: this film, like what we say, Matt is hey, listen, 76 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: this this isn't hey. Here's what you did wrong. This 77 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: is hey, here's what we need to get corrected for 78 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: next week. This isn't hey, let's look for somebody to 79 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: blame for why we lost the last game. This is hey, 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Let's see what we can figure out what we can 81 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: do better so we can make sure we win the 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: next game. That's Frank Raich here on Colts Roundtable Live. Offense, 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, statistically had a tough day. How much of 84 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: that was due to the Jaguars on first and second 85 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: down getting the job done, forcing the Colts in third 86 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: and long situations? It was a rough day offensively, man. 87 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean those those it's like a nightmare, you know. 88 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: And so they played as well, and we gotta do 89 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: we gotta be better than that. We are better than that, um, 90 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, so we got to figure that out coaching 91 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: and playing. They you know, they were effective against our 92 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: run game. You know, we were never really able to 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: get a run game going. And then when we tried 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: to throw it on first and second down, you know, 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: didn't have as much success as we normally do. We 96 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: we've normally been pretty good, you know, coming out of 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: the gate, but we just weren't able to generate anything 98 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: early on. But really the whole game, Jacksonville's offense, you know, 99 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Shark with Trevor Lawrence efficient from the get go twenty 100 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: five or thirty passing? What did you see that made 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: it hard to shut him down? In those quick rhythm, 102 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: quick timing throws. Yeah, they did. They did a good job. 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: They did a good job, good game plan, you know, 104 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: watching the film of them. I mean, like we've said earlier, 105 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: their offense is very similar to us. I mean I'm 106 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: looking at it and oh, that's our play. That's our play. 107 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: That's our play, that's our play. They executed well, you know, 108 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: they execute They out of executed us on both sides 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: of the ball in that regard. All right, if you 110 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: have a question for coach, you can tweet it in 111 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: tonight and every Monday night here in the regular season 112 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: on Colts Roundtable Live tweet those two hashtag Colts Roundtable. 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: Eric is up first tonight, coach, asking who do you 114 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: turn to for help in leadership in the locker room 115 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: after a game like Sunday and after a slow start 116 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: to the season. I think he's alluding to players, players 117 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: in the locker room you can turn to to help 118 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: relegate some things in the in the locker room, most 119 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: starts with the captains, you know, you know, it starts 120 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: with our captains. And we got we got seven of them, 121 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: three on offense, some three on defense, and a special teams. 122 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: You know, so you lean on those guys, and then 123 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: we have a player council, which is twelve guys, you know, 124 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: a player leadership council, So I meet with them once 125 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: a week on Wednesdays. You know, those those are the 126 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: guys that you talk through because we got to do 127 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: this together. All right. Gabe is up. He's asking, why 128 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: do we have such a difficult time with the Jaguars 129 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: line stunts and their defensive line pressure they execute him? Well, 130 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: I know we can be better. Um. You know, obviously 131 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: we've had a lot of years of pretty good protection 132 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: around here, so we have a high standard. But we 133 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: got to own the fact that we did not execute 134 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: well in that regard. Looking at the couple of their stunts, 135 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: they executed very well on them, and we got to 136 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: do a better job. We got to figure out how 137 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: to get better against those stunts. All right, Mark is 138 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: up next. What went into two Paris Campbell's lack of 139 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: production considering we wor without Pittman and Pierce at receiver, 140 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: It was just one of those things. I mean, he 141 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: was scheduled to be, you know, in to get the 142 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: ball and some plays that whatever the coverage, the red 143 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: didn't took us away. From them, or we got pressure 144 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: and Matt had a scramble or took a sack. So 145 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, we love Paris want to continue to try 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: and to find ways to get them involved. All right, 147 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: let's skip down to Mike's question, because we talked about 148 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. Is there a chance that Pittman and Pierce 149 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: we'll be back on Sunday to play the Chiefs. I mean, 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: we're optimistic and we're hopeful. You know, we'll see how 151 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: it goes this week. They both look good today. You know, 152 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I didn't really talk to them at length, so we'll 153 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: see how the week progresses. All right. Bobby's question, we're 154 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: just two for seven in the red zone through a 155 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: couple of games. What do we have to do better 156 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: to score inside the twenty? We got to run the 157 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: ball better in the red zone. That's always a big deal. 158 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Of the teams that are really good in the red 159 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: zone run the ball well in the red zone. And 160 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: then you know, we just got to execute better in 161 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: a passing game. We got to execute better in a 162 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: passing game. And that's that's all of us, says Colts 163 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: Roundtable Live. That's head coach Frank Reich with us tonight 164 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five. The 165 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: fan Rick is asking about the defense in the past 166 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: rush what can we do to general right more pass 167 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: rush than we've gotten in the last two games. Well, 168 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: I think one of the keys if you look at 169 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: how we struggled on offense because we were in a 170 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: lot of third and longs, So, um, you know, try 171 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: to get their their opposing offense out of phase. You know, um, 172 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: be played good defense on first and second down and 173 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: get them in third and long that that would go 174 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: a long way. All right, last question from the fans, 175 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Drew is asking do we need to go up tempo 176 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: offense to start games to get off to better starts? 177 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: You know, we try to mix that up every now 178 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: and then. You know, really didn't want to do that 179 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville because of the heat. We were already 180 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: down receivers. You know, you didn't want to put our 181 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: young receivers in a situation where we're having to go, 182 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, up tempo like that. You know, So we'll 183 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: always have that in our back pocket as a tool 184 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: we can use. All Right, the Chiefs are up next. 185 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: They're two and oh what do you want to see? 186 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: What do you need to see in practice this week, Coach? 187 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: What needs to happen in order for the Colts to 188 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: give themselves the best chance to get that first win 189 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: and get that win in the regular seat. He's an 190 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: home opener. Well, here's what I'm counting on, Matt. You 191 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: know that sometimes we all know what lagging results mean, right, 192 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: you know you and we've had I think we've been 193 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: practicing very well, but we haven't been seeing the results, 194 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: you know, in a timely fashion. So what I'm hoping is, 195 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, the cumulative effect of a couple good weeks 196 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: of in season practice is going to catch up with us. 197 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: We have another good week this week and then we 198 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: see that on Sunday against the Chiefs. It's head coach 199 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Frank Reich on Colts Roundtable Live tonight. Coach, always appreciate 200 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: the time.

The floor is yours. Your 233 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: tail of the tape. After a twenty four to nothing 234 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: loss in Florida yesterday for the Colts, well, Matt, I 235 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: know you're a big Back to the Future fan as 236 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: I am. I'd like to get a time machine. Go 237 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: back to two and a half minutes into the game. 238 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: We had first and ten at the Jacksonville forty. You know, 239 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: we had a little drive going to the beginning, and 240 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: then from that point things just unraveled, and they unraveled quickly. 241 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: We throw an interception, they score, the next couple drives 242 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: rended by sacks. First half was marred with either protection 243 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: issues sacks, and again that's not always on the old line. 244 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: A lot of times, you know, it's a coverage sack. 245 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: Guys were not getting open receivers, not getting separation, Patman 246 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: had a drop on third down. Moali didn't get open 247 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: on a third down. There were just so many issues 248 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, you blink twice and it 249 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: was seventeen nothing and you're sitting there thinking, Jonathan Taylor 250 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: hasn't even really got the ball yet outside of a 251 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: couple carries and one of those what in the world 252 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: is going on? But when I watched the tape today, 253 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: we always went back in the locker room and we 254 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: called it winning football. Basically, as an offensive lineman, you're 255 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: not gonna win every single play against a defensive end. 256 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: It's just impossible to do. But did I play winning football? Individually? 257 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: And collectively? Did we play winning football? Meaning did we 258 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: play well enough as a position group that we helped 259 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: contribute to the team's victory. And when I look across 260 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: the board offensive line, receivers, quarterback, defense, I mean, did 261 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: any group play winning football yesterday? And I think the 262 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: answer is no. And to me, that's what is disappointing. 263 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: And honestly, that's what's more. You just wonder where's the 264 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: team going to go from here? Because through two games, 265 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: after an offseason that was talked about, you know, the 266 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: urgency the excitement we're getting ready to division games right 267 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: out of the gap. I feel like this team has 268 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: really played about one and a half quarters out of eight. 269 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: And you know, that's just the bottom line while you're 270 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: sitting here at oh one and one and why you 271 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: scored zero points and got shut out by a Jacksonville 272 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: team that you know, let's be honest, they're not going 273 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl this year. So obviously it was 274 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: a disappointing game all around, and there's a lot of 275 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: things to fix, and it's got to get fixed quickly because, oh, 276 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: by the way, one of those teams that maybe in 277 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the Chiefs are gonna be coming into 278 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: Lucas Oil six short days from now. All right, it's 279 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Joe Rights his Tale of the tape. Rick vent Terry, 280 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: after watching the tape today, what does your tale of 281 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: the tape look like? What does that tell you? Yeah, 282 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: I just feel like a fighter that it really got 283 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 1: knocked out, to be honest with you, And my takeaway 284 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: really is this is you know, after the January game, 285 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: when we lost that game to Jacksonville, I felt like 286 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: that it was an anomaly. I felt like that, you know, 287 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: this wasn't really us. It was a meltdown. You know, 288 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: they rode the wave of our emotion that was dropping. 289 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: And that was that when I walked out of there 290 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: yesterday and on tape today, I have a different feeling. 291 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: I feel like that the Jaguars basically have passed us 292 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: as an operation. Right now, I think that when I 293 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: look at the game in total, they were a better 294 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: operation from top to bottom, they were better constructed personnel wise, 295 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: much better approach, game plan wise, not even close, and 296 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: then obviously much much better execution. I mean, all you 297 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: have to do is look at the quarterback lines, the 298 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: final score in time of possession to realize this wasn't 299 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: a loss. This was a destructive, dominating performance by the Jaguars, who, 300 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: at least yesterday, were a much much better team in 301 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: all aspects of the game. And you know, as Joe said, 302 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: that's to me, that's the toughest part of it. Uh, 303 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, for a team that has such great expectations 304 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: going in, you know, we basically were destroyed. I mean 305 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: we've had one quarterback Mills at the end of three quarters, 306 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: have one hundred and twenty four passer rating, and then 307 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: this week, you know, with Lawrence A hundred and twenty 308 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: five passer rating and an unprecedented ninety five point three 309 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: quarterback ratings. So there was really no areas of the 310 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: game that we weren't really dominated, and we have to 311 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: fix it fast. I think there's we're going to talk 312 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: about it and what's next, but you know, there's a 313 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: lot of things we have to change in approach and 314 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: we've got to get with it immediately, no doubt about that. 315 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: That's Rick Venturi and Joe Rights in their Tales of 316 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: the Tape.

Him Matt Taylor, Rick Venturius. 336 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Here Joe writes, this is Colts Roundtable Live tonight. In 337 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: the Colts, as we know, yesterday outplayed outmatched, losing to 338 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: the Jaguars twenty four to nothing. So where did the 339 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: Colts go from here? Let's look at some key areas 340 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: of the game or the games so far that broke 341 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: down for the Colts and ponder, of course, now what 342 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: So when you look at the first couple of games 343 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: fellas it's slow starts. The Colts have dropped or tied 344 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: their last couple of regular season games dating back to 345 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: last season. And if you go back to Week eighteen 346 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars last year, the Colts have been outscored 347 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: by a combined margin of seventy to six going into 348 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of those games. The two games so 349 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: far this year, Joe, the Colts have been outscored forty 350 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: four to three in those two games going into the 351 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: fourth quarter between Houston last week in Jacksonville on Sunday, Joe, Now, 352 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: what how do the Colts fix this problem to start games? 353 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: You know, to me, it really comes down to three parts. 354 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: It comes down to personnel, the guy's going, It comes 355 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: down to the coaches and schematically, and then it comes 356 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: down to just your overall. You know, let me just say, 357 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: coming out of the locker room, you're feeling, you know 358 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: how physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually are you ready for the game? 359 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: And when I look at the Colts yesterday, they were 360 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: not ready to execute, just you know, missed assignments, sloppy play. 361 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: From a schematic perspective, I felt like we let Lawrence 362 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: just really get into a rhythm where he was just 363 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: on fire, and you know, we weren't getting any pressure 364 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: on him, but a lot of it. They were running 365 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: three step drops and their guys were running open against 366 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: our you know, cover three zone defense, and they were 367 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: just going five six, seven yards catch and we really 368 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: let him get into a rhythm. We never made him 369 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable all game. And I go back to slow starts. Generally, 370 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: you got to look at third down right because on offense, 371 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: third down keeps your drives going. On defense, third down 372 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: helps you get off the field. We were two at 373 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: ten yesterday. Now we had some longer third downs. That's 374 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: because we didn't execute on first and second down. A 375 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: couple sacks on first and second down that really set 376 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: us back. And then on the flip side, you know 377 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Jacksonville early in the game, they had third and eight 378 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: completed it, They had a fourth and three they completed 379 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: on that drive. They got that third and one on 380 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: the third and four they scored. So they had four 381 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: third or fourth down conversions on that first drive and 382 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: that's why they're up seven nothing. So the execution on 383 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: third down is paramount, And to me, that comes back 384 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: some to personnel on third down, especially with Pittman out. 385 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: I felt like in the pass game they did not 386 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: respect us, and you know, really that contributed a first 387 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: and second down. They just got tighter as the game 388 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: went on. They got more guys in the box and 389 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: they're you know, they were telling their defensive line rip 390 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: roarer up the field and we're going to knock them back. 391 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: And that's what kind of limited Jonathan Taylor two. So 392 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: it all goes hand in hand. But I had to 393 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: hold coach one time he goes you want to start fast, 394 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: you know what the key is, just start fast? And 395 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 1: you know that's oversimplifying it, but really it comes down 396 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: to eleven guys executing every play, and clearly that didn't 397 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: happen yesterday. All right, Rick, let's talk about receiver depth 398 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: because the Colts on Sunday no Michael Pittman Junior and 399 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: no Alec Pierce due to injuries. Ashton Dulan had five 400 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: for seventy nine. Paris Campbell did not record a catch, 401 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: Desmond Patman had a key drop on a third down. 402 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: Mike Stron had a couple of catches but also had 403 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: a pre snap penalty, didn't record a catch until the 404 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The Colts wide receiver depth on this team 405 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: after it was it was called upon to step up. Now, 406 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: what what happens at white out? Yeah, the the you know, 407 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: our concerns certainly were validated yesterday. You know, it's it's 408 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: a difficult thing. Obviously, I was worried. I was concerned 409 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: all preseason because I felt like it was Pittman in 410 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: the pips. I mean it was, you know, every pass 411 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: or eighty percent of the passes in eleven on eleven 412 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: drills went to Pittman and no one else And so 413 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: you never saw the ball sprayed to anyone else other 414 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: than maybe Hinds. Uh you know, which is which is 415 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: a different entity. So I was a little concerned about that, 416 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: and reconcerned today. I do think one of the things 417 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: that I think it has to do a little bit 418 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: what Joe was talking about on first down. I think 419 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: we've lost our way a little bit on first down. 420 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: I think that you know, you know, we as particularly 421 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: early in the game. Uh you know, And and I 422 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: knew this against Tampa that if we would put I 423 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: mean not Tampa. I knew this against Jackson. The the 424 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: reason I say Tampa might call well, the defensive coordinator 425 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: is from Tampa in the Todd Bowles school of thinking. 426 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: And basically what king what I said is you had 427 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: to win first down in this game, and if you 428 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: stayed in your regular personnel, you're two tight end stuff. 429 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: They were going to play that double sink and they 430 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: were gonna stop. They were gonna stop JT. They've done 431 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: it three games in a row, and you get in 432 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: that double sync. The way they play it, they main 433 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: handle us. They stoned us, and we refuse to throw 434 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: that ball on first down and to stretch the field. 435 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: So by the time our receivers get involved, you're in 436 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: second and long, you're in third and long, You're in 437 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: different coverage scenarios, you're in different blitz scenarios, rush scenarios. 438 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: But I think the thing we're going to have to do, 439 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: Matt is we're going to really have to establish who 440 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna play with, who are we're gonna feature. We're 441 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: going to have to make some decisions here now. To me, 442 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, I think basically we've got to really work 443 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: strong into the picture. Every time he's asked to do something, 444 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: he does it, and then I guess number two, it 445 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: has to be dueling because basically whatever he's kind of 446 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: asked to do. Now, do I think those guys are 447 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: going to scare anybody to death? Absolutely not. But I 448 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: think if you settle on a couple of guys and 449 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: you rep them and you rep them, and you rep them, 450 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: it will make a difference. The biggest disappointment to me 451 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: on offense, the guy that has I thought a chance 452 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: to be a game breaker is just absolutely silent Campbell. 453 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is. He's not featured, 454 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: he's never involved in the action, and yet he has 455 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: great speed. He's shown us in the past that he 456 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: could make a play, but he is just basically he 457 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: is awol right now. You can't find him. I mean, 458 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: you can't find him out there. But I think about 459 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: the only thing you can do, it's when you throw it. 460 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: Get some one on ones for those guys on early downs. 461 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: Basically people are going to stop Taylor on first down, 462 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: get some one on ones and settle in on who 463 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: you want to play, and get high repetitions with them 464 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: and go with them. Rick vent Terry right there, Joe 465 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: Wright says, well, this is Colts Roundtable Live by Matt 466 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Taylor on ninety three five and one oh seven five. 467 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: This segment is centered around, now, what is the Colts 468 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: trying to bounce back after a twenty four to nothing 469 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: lost to the Jaguars and Joe the Colts allowed five sacks, 470 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: a lot more quarterback hits on Matt Ryan. The Colts 471 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: didn't run the ball well until the fourth quarter when 472 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: the game was very much in hand for the Jaguars, 473 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: and then Matt Pryor at left tackle. He continues to 474 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: be lifted at times to give snaps for Bernard and 475 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: Ryman to help kind of speed up his development. I 476 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: think that count yesterday was fifteen snaps from Ryman. Joe. 477 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: The offensive line just hasn't looked as top notch or 478 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: elite like it has in years. Passed through two games 479 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: here with the Colts. Now, what happens along that offensive line? 480 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: What needs to change? Yeah, let's break this down here, 481 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: and I want to divide it up in the run 482 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: game in the past game. First, in the run game, 483 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, well, Jonathan Taylor didn't do anything. 484 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: The offensive line isn't doing their job. To coach his 485 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: point part of its scheme when we have two tight 486 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: ends on the field and they're in their base defense 487 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: heavy run formation. Coach mentioned the double sinc that's tough 488 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: to run against. And the other thing nobody's talking about. 489 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle was so good for run game. He was 490 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: such a unique tight end. He could block in line 491 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: as the why nobody was better when he was in 492 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: that wingback position coming across to cut off the backside 493 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: defensive end and put a really big cutback lane in there. 494 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: I think we're really missing Jack and I think that 495 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: shows in the run game. Two. In the run game, 496 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: I think we're just getting knocked back a little bit. 497 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: We're not getting the point of attack and we're not 498 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: getting the push that we need against Jacksonville. And the 499 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: third part is I think our run game's gotten a 500 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: little stale in terms of creativity. If you look at 501 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: our longest run that twenty one yard of that Taylor popped, 502 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: that was a trap wham play. And when you have 503 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: a team like Jacksonville that's just getting guys upfield upfield, 504 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: it's hard to go sometimes those inside zone schemes and 505 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: really try to push them off the ball. Hey, if 506 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: they want to run up field like a crazy man, 507 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: cut the guy loose, trap him, wham him. That's what 508 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: we did on that play twenty one yards, And that's 509 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: what I think we've been really effective at in the 510 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: run game that we need to get back to a 511 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: little bit more, some more creativity in the run game. 512 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: Astro on that as Hines. You know, Hines had five 513 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: targets just in the past game, he had four catches, 514 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: He had only one carry, he went for zero yards. 515 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: But to me, with Pittman out, Hines was our second 516 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: most explosive playmaker and he only touched the ball five 517 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: times in the ball game. And then when you go 518 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: to pass pro, you know Pryor did struggle. You know, 519 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Coach and I we've talked about that, he's going to 520 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: struggle with elite speed. Josh Allen got by him for 521 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: that sack fumble. The second Josh Allen sack was a 522 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: fork stunt, which means you have three defensive linemen on 523 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: one side of the ball. One rushes the A gap, 524 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: one rushes the B gap, and then Allen looped all 525 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: the way around past the center and we didn't pass 526 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: it off well. We continue to struggle with end games, 527 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: meaning by that, like a tackle runs up the field, 528 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: the end loops around and vice versa. That's what got 529 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: pressure from the right side on the first Matt Ryan interception. 530 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: And so our pass pro just isn't dialed up right now. 531 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: From five guys working as one and prior struggling, I 532 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: think it merits having some more chip held from a 533 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: running back keeping a tight ending to hit him and 534 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: rub him on his way out. Because if you're just 535 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: gonna leave him one on one with Josh Allen, a 536 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: really elite speed guy, you're gonna have some issues. And 537 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: we had that, and then obviously there's nothing worse his 538 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. You get down seventeen twenty four, they pin 539 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: their ears back and go. It makes for a very 540 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: long day. So we didn't stay on schedule. But to 541 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: me breaking down the tape, that's what I kind of 542 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: see in the run in the pass game. All right, 543 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: last topic, let's go over the defensive side of the ball. 544 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: Rick and that unit didn't create a lot of pressure, 545 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: no turnovers or takeaways. In this case, they allowed Trevor 546 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: Lawrence to have his best game as a pro over 547 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pass a rating twenty five of 548 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: thirty two thirty five, two touchdowns, and he got into 549 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: a groove right away, and the Colts had a hard 550 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: time defending those quick, short, underneath quick rhythm throws. The 551 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: defensive scheme under Gus Bradley Rick, it's allowing over seventy 552 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: percent completion percentage so far through two games. So tell 553 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: me now what happened? What has to happen? I should 554 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: say on defense here, Yeah, this is the most disappointing 555 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: part in my opinion, from a coaching standpoint of our 556 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: coaching approach. I expected much better than this. I expected 557 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: much more variation than this. You know, we are lining 558 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: up in some kind of cover three. Now we will 559 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: insert the safety in different spots, but at the end 560 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: of the day, we are playing a cover three underneath zone. 561 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: You know, we're playing a little man on the outside, 562 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: but underneath zone almost you know exclusively, you know which 563 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: is which? Has given people Joe mentioned it early. Basically 564 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: they just had their way with us on first down, 565 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: a lot of quick rhythm stuff, and you know, nobody 566 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: by the time, you know, those tight ends of slots 567 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: were open in the middle all the time. You know 568 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: they got they were able to use. They did a 569 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: great job using Kirk in the backfield or at the 570 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: slot and working in on the linebackers and safeties. But 571 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: we are just so predictable and with a lot of 572 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 1: that quick rhythm, you know, our defensive line really doesn't 573 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: have a chance. Now we've had no pressure in two games. 574 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we get sacked five times and four three interceptions, 575 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: and we only I think we hit We hit Lawrence twice. 576 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: You know, at the end of three quarters in the opener, 577 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, Mills has one hundred and twenty four passer 578 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: rating just shreads us, and now we have one hundred 579 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: and twenty five passer rating for four quarters with Lawrence. 580 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's intolerable, really, I mean I used 581 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: to bitch about our soft zone and cover two and 582 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: a lot of vision and non matchup. You know, this 583 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: is worse. I mean our you know, I used to 584 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: say high school two. Right now this is a high 585 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: school three and the other thing. And I will not 586 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: stop until somebody stops it. You've heard me at the game. 587 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: I about lost my mind. We re used to stop 588 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: a boot. Like here, you got a quarterback who you 589 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: know is tremendous on his feet, tremendous on the edge, 590 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: and the first time he comes out with a boot, 591 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't even get close. Denny Bow runs blind to the ball. 592 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: Later it's dio and he's out on the edge throwing 593 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: twenty yard completions, running zone reads, no edge discipline whatsoever. 594 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: And so really, I think there's got to be an 595 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: approach change. I mean, we've got to get more variants. 596 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: We can't continue to sit there and play a Cover 597 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: three all day long because the quarterbacks are so decisive 598 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: they can get rid of the ball, and then we 599 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: have really no creative We're sitting in over the whole game. 600 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: There's no moving around, there's no creative you know, sinks 601 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: or or different even rush even our blitzes our vanilla 602 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: and so you know, I think it's really killed us 603 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: and it's time to look at that pretty mostly and say, hey, 604 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: we gotta evolve. The few times that we changed up 605 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: the coverage Cover two, we played two man once, we 606 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: played a little bit of four, and we played a 607 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: little bit of mic one in those four or five 608 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: downs were very successful for us. But you know, they're 609 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: just shredn us. Whether it's in the seam. You know, 610 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: our bootleg is our bootleg. Discipline is awful, and so 611 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: you know we we we reap what we sew right now, 612 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean we're we're sitting in there, tell them what 613 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: we're going to play, and they're taking advantage of it. 614 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: Rick vent Terian Joe Wrights on Now what has the 615 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: Colts try to reflect and bounce back after losing to 616 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: the Jaguars twenty four to nothing.

Let's 641 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: go to the best ones here. Submission from Jake. Jake 642 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: is asking Joe where where has unique and Goackway been 643 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: through two games? Two games in and he's had very 644 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: little impact from what I can tell. What do you 645 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: think about number ninety one in Goackway for the cults 646 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: so far through a couple of games. Joe, Yeah, you 647 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: had expected, hoped he would have had a better performance 648 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: down there in Jacksonville. But I think it's two issues. One, 649 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: when you have a mobile quarterback, they did a good 650 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: job moving the pocket, They did a nice job in 651 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: the screen game. The ball was coming out quick. So one, 652 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: there weren't that many opportunities for him. There weren't a 653 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: lot of five and seven step drops because Jacksonville controlled 654 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: the games. That's the beginning. Second one is he was 655 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: going up against a pretty good left tackle and Cam 656 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: Robinson in the week before Laramie Tunsil. Those are two 657 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: better tackles and honestly they got the better of him 658 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. He's four tackles through two games, no sacks. 659 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: But the thing about in Goaqua and he's consistently been 660 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: a double digit sack guy, so you expect that production 661 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: to come. Unfortunately we haven't seen it yet through two games. 662 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, coach, Yeah, I kind of agree 663 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: with you, Joe. I think that the failure, big picture 664 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: failure on both sides of the ball, was the inability 665 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: to stop them on first down. They controlled the game 666 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: on first down. You talked about those third down earlies, 667 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: but if you go back to those third downs, with 668 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: the exception of the first third and eight, they were 669 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: all third and short and even when they got behind 670 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: in the chains on second down, they threw quick and 671 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: got themselves back into a third and manageable down. And 672 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: you're exactly right in Gockway is a bit of a 673 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: one trick pony. As you know you've probably played against him. 674 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: He's a little bit of a one trick pony as 675 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: a rusher, and that is he runs the edge and 676 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: then comes back down the hoop, and that's where he's 677 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: gotten most of his sacks and most of his strips 678 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: and things like that. But in order to be able 679 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: to play that game, you really need to create much 680 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: more advantage situations for yourself. You have to be in 681 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: more third and eight to tens where you know, the 682 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: quarterback has got to have essentially a seven step drop 683 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 1: and essentially has to you know, step up hold the ball, 684 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: has to buy a receiver time down field to make 685 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: the first down. We never really forced that hardly at 686 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: any time in the game, and so I think that 687 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: works against him. He has worked against two really good tackles, 688 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But you're gonna face good 689 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: left tackles. I do think it's incumbent that they do 690 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: work him on some counter moves, you know, where you 691 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: can get that guy up field where you can raise 692 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: him but then jet back inside, even if you have 693 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: to use you know, kind of a delay exit where 694 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: the end delay exits and then the tackle comes back around. 695 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: But I think part of its Situationally, we've been in 696 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: some really tough situations. We have not created the rush situations, 697 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: and so much of that quick rhythm passing is keeping 698 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: us way way behind the chains on defense. All right, 699 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: let's go back to the mailbag again. This is the 700 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: mailbag segment on Colts Roundtable Live. We're taking your submissions 701 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: tonight and every Monday night. Use hashtag Colt's Roundtable on Twitter. 702 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to Nicholas's question, Joe, since we're giving reps 703 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: to Ryman to speed up his development and left tackle, 704 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: why not just make him the starter and let him 705 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: improve with baptism by fire. Well, I think after yesterday 706 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: there may be more of an argument there. Obviously we 707 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: saw that Prior struggled, especially with the speed rushers. You know, 708 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: he's kind of a road grader. He's going to handle 709 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: the power rushers. Well, Ryman's more of a fleet footed, 710 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, quicker guy with the athleticism that might not 711 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: be able to anchor as well. But I think they're 712 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: doing the right thing by continuing to work him in 713 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: and I think maybe you will see a change. We'll 714 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: see what happens, but there's no substitue for game reps, 715 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: and I think it's good to get him game reps 716 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: like they're continuing to do. I think just overall, the 717 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: offensive line has underperformed, and we're not getting the push 718 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: in the run game. I mentioned that I think the 719 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: tight ends contributing that in the run game, but on 720 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: the in the pass game, we're still struggling, struggling with games. 721 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: We're struggling. They run the end twist stunts and vice versa, 722 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: and both sides are struggling with it. And I've been 723 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: disappointed in our past protection overall. I think when you 724 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: just look at Matt Ryan, he just doesn't seem comfortable 725 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: in the pocket, and you know his feet are moving. 726 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: He slid that one time trying to escape a little 727 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: bit shortened to throw. And when your quarterback's not comfortable 728 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket, that's not a good place to be 729 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: and we got to figure that out quick. So coach, coach, 730 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: what would you add there? Yeah, you know, I'm pretty 731 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: much pretty much with you. I probably at this point, 732 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more talent first and grow with it. 733 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: I'm ready to make the move with Ryman. I was 734 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: ready very very early. I think you have a ceiling 735 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: on prior. I think you're there. You know, damn well, 736 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: he can't handle elite rustlers, So you know where you're 737 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: going with it. I mean, you know, I think I've 738 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: always thought he's a really good backup, and he's primarily 739 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: a right side player. He can back up, maybe push 740 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: Pinter at guard if he's struggling, but I would go 741 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: with Ryman. I'm at this stage after watching this team 742 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. It's to be like I'm starting 743 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: over in training camp. And what I think, and I 744 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: kind of alluded to it with the receiver corps, is 745 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: make up your mind. Who is the talent Now we've 746 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: had two games to look at it. Who are the 747 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: talented guys that you're going to be able to win with. 748 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: Stay with them so that you improve every single week. 749 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Now from an offensive line standpoint, and this is your wheelhouse, 750 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: you talked about it a little bit. I have been 751 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: so disappointed now. I've said this over years. We have 752 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: never done a good job of picking up text games. 753 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: We have never on protection been a good job versus games. 754 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: And it was glaring. It was glaring Sunday. You call 755 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: it a fourth game. I call it an ISO. The 756 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: three man stunts were wide open, I mean wide open, 757 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: like we've never looked at one before. And if you 758 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: want to know the truth, our blitz pickup is terrible, 759 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: you know it was. And I said that going into 760 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: this season, that with a quarterback like Matt Ryan, who 761 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: is not going to avoid the escape, Okay, you're going 762 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: to attract line stunts, you're going to attack, You're gonna 763 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: attract blitzes, and you have to be flawless on that stuff. 764 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: And Frank, you know, Joe alluded to this in a 765 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: tactful way. I'm not going to be quite so tactful. 766 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: You know. Frank insists on five man protection and spreads 767 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: when you know your marginal at least two positions, and 768 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: that's crazy to me. Not that you use six and 769 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 1: seven man protection every down, but you at least chip 770 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: and nudge coming out of there and try to be 771 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more solid in that cup or else. 772 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's not going to survive you that right now. 773 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean he got butchered. The more you look at 774 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: that film and a lot of it is stunts, and 775 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: you knew that was coming. I mean, this was gonna 776 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: be the Todd Bowles game plan, and so that's really 777 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: disappointing to me. But going back, you know, I'm going 778 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: with Ryman and I'm gonna grow with them all right, 779 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: Rick Venturian Joe Rights in the mail bag on Colts 780 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: Roundtable Live, which is brought to you by Caesar Sports Book, 781 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: proud sports betting partner of the Indianapolis Colts.

Kansas City has played in four straight 802 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: AFC Championship games. Gotta buy Patrick Mahomes. They're two and 803 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: oh and they're rested to a degree having played on 804 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football last week. Fellas, Rick and Joe. It's 805 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: time now for the closing arguments. The floor is yours. Rick, 806 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: I'll let you go first, your final thoughts on the 807 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: Jaguar game and a big week ahead for the Colts 808 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: against Kansas City. Well on a note of optimism. First 809 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: of all, after a stinker like what happened yesterday, there's 810 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: nothing better than to have a premier Super Bowl challenging 811 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: team coming in. It flushes yesterday. It gets your attention 812 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: and you're on to the Chiefs no doubt. And I 813 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: think to that coach, it's the NFL. It's an odd 814 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: league and the Cults are in crisis mode after two games, 815 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. But this team historically has responded when 816 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: they've been super backed up into the corner and That's why, 817 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: even though it's crazy to say you lose a Jacksonville 818 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: twenty four nothing, I have a ton of confidence they're 819 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna come out and they're gonna blast the Chiefs and 820 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: get back to winning and all will be right in 821 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: the end of Appos football world. A lot of people 822 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: out telling you it's gonna it's gonna happen. It's it's 823 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: it's a crazy league and the Cults are gonna do 824 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: it all right. Well again, a lot of people out 825 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 1: there are hoping you're right. That's that.
