Speaker 4: location here the Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio studio on

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: site with r V. This is when training camp starts

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 4: to get good. We just wrapped up practice number nine

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: for the Colts. Following practice on Tuesday. Wednesday is an

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: off day. The Coults are back to work on Thursday

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: morning here at Graham Park, practicing from ten to eleven.

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: But that first preseason game rit coming up on Saturday.

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: Like I said, this, when it starts to get a

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: little juicy here at training camp.

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does. You saw a little bit of

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: chipping us at the end today, and again we're ready.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: We're ready for an opponent. I mean it really comes

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 2: down to that, no matter how many practices, after about

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: three weeks, you're ready to go.

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely. So we have a lot to get into today.

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: We'll talk quarterbacks, we'll talk defense, we'll talk about the

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: depth that cornerback. But as we said, nine practices in

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: for the Colts, and let's start at the top with

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson. Looked really good, really sharp over the weekend

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 4: on Saturday and Sunday. Look good in a call it period,

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: a two minute drive on Saturday and Sunday. He was

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: fifteen for nineteen passing and eleven on eleven periods with

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 4: five touchdowns today through a pick during seven on seven.

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: But again the arrow continues to point in the right direction.

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: Everything is trending up for Anthony Richardson. What is your

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: assessment of him now compared to camp a week ago?

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, if you look at him this weekend,

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: the two practices you alluded to, compared to a rookie

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: mini camp, it is an amazing, amazing difference. And I

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: think what's so important is the stacking of performances. You

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: use that term stacking of performances, because with Anthony, there's

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: never going to be a doubt about his talent level

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: and there's never going to be a doubt of him

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: going out there and making some just spectacular plays, plays

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: that you're saying, how.

48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: Did he do that?

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: Okay, But what's going to be important for growth and

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: our growth as a franchise and as a team is

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: two things. Is one, the consistency to stay away from

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: that day where he's five to fifteen, and a lot

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: of that is mechanics, a lot of that is processing

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: and learning. And then of equal importance is learning how

55
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: to play in the pressure specialized situations of the NFL,

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: which are no longer the college game. That is third

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: and four plus, that is red zone. Those areas where

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: you get defensive sophistication, rush, tough matchups, instantaneous decision, tight windows.

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: And that was impressive. Over the weekend. He has struggled

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: in third down. He's been unsure at times, which is

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: just normal. That is normal. But I thought what was

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: really impressive Sunday was his red zone performance. He took

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: off on his own rid ran it in Yep, he

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: came back, hit Pittman over the inside, and then he

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: made an absolute strike in tight coverage to Granson down

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: there in the corner, and that's what you have to

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: do if you're going to become a great quarterback. So

68
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: I was really happy, and I think he's just gonna grow.

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: I hope that, and this is just me. I just

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: hope we continue to run him with the ones and

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: just continue to play him.

72
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, as of right now, I think Gardner Minshew as

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: we sit here and tape this, Minshew and Richardson have

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: both had four days with the first team offense, so

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: that was kind of the plan all along. Going back

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: a third down in situational football? Is there anything about

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: those specialized situations in terms of how Richardson is handling

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: them that tells you he's not developing at the rate

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: the Colts want him to.

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Oh not at all. No, no, no no. I thought

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: that Saturday and Sunday were by far the two best

82
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: days since he's been here, and they had a lot

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: of situational football. He did play in those situations, and

84
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: quite frankly, Matt, it's all about processing, timing, getting it

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: out on time, and then if he has to move,

86
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: he can do that. That's that's God given to him,

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: and so no, no, no, I see the development there.

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: To me, I'm not disappointed at all. As a matter

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: of fact, I'm a lot I'm a little bit impressed.

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: I think he's a little.

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: Bit ahead of the curve.

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: Okay, how that relates to Gardner Minshew. He continues to

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: be very consistent, very sharp, and most importantly, very accurate,

94
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: especially in the intermediate game, which obviously that's that's his game,

95
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: that's who he is as a quarterback. What are you

96
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: seeing out of Minshew as he continues to kind of

97
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: push Richardson in the Colts overall puzzle piece one's.

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: Gonna have an interesting role, and I think the long

99
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: term role is to be there if we need him

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: to bring consistency and to mentor a little bit with Anthony.

101
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: What what you What you see in Minshew is a

102
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: very consistent, very good before the snap, very good getting

103
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 2: your line up. He's gonna go to the right guy

104
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: and if you give him a lot of soft zone,

105
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna have volume completions. The biggest problem where you

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: see the tremendous difference, it's staggering, is in arm strength

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: and mobility. And that's where you know, if you really

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: have to play with him. It's he's gonna be a

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: and I'll say it like it is. He's gonna have

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: to be a complimentary quarterback, right and you're gonna have

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: to have a lot of good people both offensively and

112
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: defensively around him because he's not a playmaker. He's a

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: functional He's a functional guy that you can put in

114
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: there and play within the scheme.

115
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 4: So from the sounds of it, you, personally you're ready

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: to give Richardson the Lion's share of the first team.

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: Reps a lot.

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: I really am, and I've been happy with the way

119
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: they've done it. It's come out about fifty to fifty,

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: which I like that. I do believe though that, and

121
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: I think he can handle I think his temperament he

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: can handle it, even if he has some failure, which

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: he's gonna have. But I just think there's so much gap.

124
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: I mean, when I watch Minshew, it's like ayawn. I

125
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: hate to say it that way, but a yawn. When

126
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: Richardson comes into game, it's exciting on the edge of it.

127
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he used to say when I was a kid,

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: the gold standard player. I may have said this before

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: to you, the gold standard player. In the major leagues

130
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: when I was growing up was Mickey Mantle, and people

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 2: paid to see him strike out because he was exciting

132
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: when he struck out.

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love.

134
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: It when Richardson steps in there because there's just an

135
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: excitement him.

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: Now, how would you want to see the Colts divvy

137
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: up those quarterback reps in Buffalo? If you're in charge

138
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: and once you're playing a quarterback on set, This would.

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Be my plan. And again it may be one off,

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: so in no way do I have inside information I

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: would go with. What I would do is I would

142
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: go with Richardson as starter, and I would play a

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: quarter and a half or twenty plays, twenty two plays

144
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: something like that with my first unit. Okay, then bring

145
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: Minchew in and then of course clean up with mister

146
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: August and Ellinger at the end. He and Strom will

147
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: put on a show in the fourth quarter. But I

148
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: would really like to see him. I think it's important

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: for him. The ones versus ones is the closest thing

150
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: to a real NFL game, other than maybe sophistication in

151
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: his game plan. That is full speed, and I think

152
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: he needs that. And so, you know, to play with

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: the twos, I don't know what that accomplishes. Honestly, I'd

154
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: like to see him in there now. I don't want

155
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: to see him in there with a ragtag outfit that

156
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: he's going to get the hell beat out. So again,

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: I say, you start him, you play him with those

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: top guys. A quarter and a half would probably be good.

159
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: I don't think our offensive line, you know, can't handle that.

160
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming back after a tough year, continue

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: to play well together.

162
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: I want to go back to the receivers. You know,

163
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: you look at Richardson, he throws, as you said, an

164
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: electric deep ball, and it's effortless at times. I mean

165
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: the flick of the wrists. We already saw it in camp.

166
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: The ball can travel with a tight spiral sixty yards

167
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: and going back to Sunday, the deep ball was on

168
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 4: full display between Richardson and Alec Pierce. Pierce had a

169
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: really good year last year in terms of the deep ball.

170
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 4: Led the team in yards per catch at fourteen and

171
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: a half. I think last year he had six catches

172
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 4: over twenty five yards that rank fourth among rookie wide receivers.

173
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 4: What is the potential there with Pierce on the outside

174
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: of the big play game from Richardson.

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: I think this is one of the stories that's waiting

176
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: to happen. I think that Pierce now from this point on,

177
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: with the drafting of Richardson, now because a big time player.

178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: I think he and this is no disrespect to Pittman.

179
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: I don't mean it that way, because Pittman will always

180
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: be a high volume, consistent key player for us. But

181
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: I think Pierce becomes the game breaker. I think he's

182
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: the guy that can burn it deep. We never threw

183
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: the ball outside the numbers last year for one reason

184
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: or another. I mean for him to be fourteen to

185
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: five is staggering, to be honest with you, and I

186
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: think that's just scratching the surface. When you have a

187
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: guy like Richardson, Now you got a guy that can

188
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: pierce it deep.

189
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: He's a big Hilton.

190
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Remember Hilton was a deep ball receiver who flourished with

191
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Andrew Luck, who was a deep ball thrower. No, I

192
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: see it kind of the same way. I see a

193
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: deep thrower here and a guy who can also extend

194
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: a play. Keep running and I'm gonna heave it. I mean,

195
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean richards he can run it. No,

196
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: you can heave it and I think that I just

197
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: think that Pierce really flourishes here. You know.

198
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: Meanwhile on the inside the slot, Isaiah mackenzie and Josh Dollens,

199
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: those two guys they're competing, but they're two different players, right,

200
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Downs, throughout some of his career

201
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: has been that speedy gadget guy. He's a really good

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: inside slot receiver as well. Downs is more of your

203
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: stereotypical prototypical inside slot receiver, catching a lot of balls

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 4: whether he's running with the first team or the second

205
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: team offense. But how many different ways can the Colts

206
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: scheme up Isaiah McKenzie. How creative can Shane Styken be

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: with him? Because when you see him out here deceptively

208
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: faster than he looks like on tape.

209
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: Well he is a four to two to two, no doubt,

210
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: you know. So, I mean there's a vapor trail there, and.

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 3: He's got this twitch about him too, he does.

212
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the two guys look very much

213
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: alike their diminutive but they're actually very different, even though

214
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: they're both great athletes in their own way. What I

215
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: see McKenzie as definitely return guy. Now I know he

216
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: had some ball security problems at Buffalo, but he's also

217
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: had big moments. I think that's some then you can overcome.

218
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a terminal illness. You know, we

219
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: saw that with Hines. Heinz struggled like hell in the

220
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: beginning on ball security, but by the end he was

221
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: just fine. So I think the return game definitely, and

222
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: then he's your gadget guy. Then he's your guy. You

223
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: slip in into an inside position and run him down

224
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: the scene. Everything you want to do with him, vertical, vertical, wide, speed, speed, sweeps,

225
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: all the gadget stuff. He's another big play potential. Now

226
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: your true slot is Downs. Downs is the first true

227
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: slot that I've seen since I've been back in twenty twelve.

228
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,479
Speaker 2: He is so quick, He's as quick as a minute

229
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: inside and where I think his big plays are going

230
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: to come. First of all, he's going to be very

231
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: hard to defend in that third and three, third and

232
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: four in there. I know his option routes and all

233
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: that stuff. But the other thing where he I think

234
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: can give us big plays is catching and run the yack.

235
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy when you see him gets

236
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: that ball and take off if they're not there you

237
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: can just see what's gonna happen. So I think in

238
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: pierce and Downs, you're gonna have two starters who are

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: gonna give us more big playability for a team that's

240
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: just been hitting singles. I think we can hit some

241
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: doubles in triple right. And then with McKenzie, I think

242
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: he does it in another way. He gives you that

243
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: gadget guy that just brings pure speed.

244
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been hard for this team to routinely go

245
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 4: over two hundred yards passing, rarely over two hundred and

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: fifty yards passing because you have.

247
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: To turn place. You have to either get him over

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: the top or catch and run. You're not you can't

249
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: sustain that playoff. Now, something's gonna happen. Now.

250
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 4: You can't go eleven plays and expect to score touchdowns

251
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: every single time. There's too many things that can happen

252
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: negatively that can screw up a drive. All right, let's

253
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 4: go to a running back Jonathan Taylor still on pup,

254
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: Zach Moss. We know last week he broke his arm.

255
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 4: At the earliest he can come back from a health standpoint, realistically,

256
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: is that for game of the regular season? Even that

257
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: is a question mark as of right now. So to

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 4: compensate for that, the Colts have picked up Kenyon Drake,

259
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: free agent running back. Has been around the NFL for

260
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 4: a long time. He's going into his eighth season, has

261
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: nearly nine hundred carries over thirty eight hundred yards and

262
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 4: Rick this is probably the most impressive part of his game.

263
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: Forty two career touchdowns. So the guy has a nose

264
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: for just getting the ball inside the end zone near

265
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: the goal line. What does he have left to give

266
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: at this point in his career and where does he

267
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 4: kind of factor into the depth considering where the Colts

268
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: are at right now with Taylor and then Zach Moss.

269
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first question that you ask is the key

270
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: question is what does he have left? I have always

271
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: liked Drake since he came out of Alabama. He's always

272
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 2: been a very good athlete. Maybe not a premier athlete,

273
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: but four four five, you know, four to two to

274
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: one short shuttle. He has a lot of stuff. Not

275
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: overly big five, you know, six foot and a half

276
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: to ten whatever, and he's had good moments. I mean,

277
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: like you just said, forty touchdown again, you know this

278
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: isn't in the this isn't the Missouri Valley that's forty

279
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: touchdowns on Sunday and he Hassi and eleven totally yards

280
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: on Sunday. So this guy is a kid with big moments.

281
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: If you just take out a twenty play highlight film

282
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: on Drake, you say, man, yeah wow. So now my

283
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: thing is and John Green and I talk about this.

284
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: John signed him at when he was in Vegas Raiders.

285
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: John brought him in to play at Vegas. And what

286
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: John brought him in is to be the complimentary back

287
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: to Jacobs. In other words, guy he can put in

288
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: the slot. You know. Guy's a third down guy, more

289
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: of the loose play guy, not the pounder, but the

290
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: loose play change up and kind of that. That's what

291
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: I see his ideal role now without JT and without

292
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: Moss All that's up for discussion, whether it's don him whatever,

293
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: but I think ideally where he has a chance to

294
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: really help us if his legs are there. He said

295
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: felt like he was running in mud, you know, And

296
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: that's just normal, right, Is that as of the complimentary

297
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: back to JT. That would be perfect because in JT

298
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: is your pounder, your short yardage every down back, but

299
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: on third down, or if you want a match up,

300
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: now you slip Kenyon Drake in there, and again you

301
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: got another potential playmaker. I like guys that put it

302
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: in the end zone. He's done it forty times.

303
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: You know last week you talked about, Hey, as coaches,

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: we're always talking. We're always going through scenarios. We Matt

305
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 4: Gay comes over here, is looking for some autograph seekers.

306
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: But no, you have to think through everything. And you're

307
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: always talking about if we play a game tomorrow, who

308
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,479
Speaker 4: were rolling with rolling Deon Jackson. He did not practice

309
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: on this day on Tuesday. So if you play a

310
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: game tomorrow, Rick, who's your starting running back?

311
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you based on the cumulative effect, not

312
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: necessarily today, particularly with what I saw this weekend and

313
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: particularly Sunday, and not knowing exactly yet where Drake is. Right, Okay,

314
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: I'll start deal on Jackson. Okay, I think I like

315
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: Jackson probably a little bit better than everybody else. Ideally,

316
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: he is a backup. He's not a guy that you

317
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: play sixty minutes with, but I think he can do

318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. I think if you have

319
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: to play with him, particularly in this offense, which is

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: quarterback centric, you know, I think he has a chance.

321
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: But what you're gonna end up doing if if, in fact,

322
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan isn't there, It's gonna be running back by committee.

323
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be one guy. And you know, it

324
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: might be Jackson, it might be a mix of and

325
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: I think, and I said this last week, I think

326
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: Hall is definitely in the Mets until you know, until

327
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: we get everybody healthy, He's definitely in the mix. So again,

328
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: if I had to play game tomorrow, my starter would

329
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: be Deon Jackson.

330
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: That's Rick Venturi. This is inside football. I'm Matt Taylor.

331
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: We've gone everywhere on offense except for tight end. The

332
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: culture kind of thin there at the moment because of

333
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: some injuries. Moeley Cox with ankle, Jilannie Woods with a hamstring,

334
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: Will Mallory after dealing with a foot, now he's battling

335
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: a hamstring as well. What do you make of this

336
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: tight end room at the moment? And who are your

337
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: front leaders to make this team? It's crowded a lot

338
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 4: of different skill set, but the Colts can only keep

339
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: three or four.

340
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because of these nagging injuries, it's just it's

341
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, we would have hoped to see just day

342
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: in day out competition and determine it. I would say

343
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: the one guy that has stood out day after day

344
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: after day, now he's the hybrid. But it's Granson. I

345
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: think Granson has stood out on a daily basis, particularly

346
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: in the receiving aspect of it makes the big red zone.

347
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Every day Granson shows up with a pretty big catch.

348
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: So I see Granson as being the hybrid move tight end.

349
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: I can almost make that. Now for the stud tight

350
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: end that's up in the air. I mean, you got

351
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: talent in Woods. I thought Woods is a potential playmaker.

352
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: I think Ogletree is better than all of them personally.

353
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: I think he's the best talent.

354
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: In terms of receiving or just a purpose all purpose time.

355
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: Sure not pure receiving. Gransome might be that. But I

356
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: think ogle Tree can block the edge. I think he

357
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: can get vertical enough. Now whether or not he can

358
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: make it all the way back to that level. I

359
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: like Gilani a lot. I think Jilanni can block the edge.

360
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: I think he can get vertical. And then where's Ali Cox.

361
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: I mean he's the guy was really all the experience, uh,

362
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: and so you know, I think that one's going to

363
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: have to play out to the very end and hopefully

364
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: get everybody healthy and make up your mind.

365
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cults are dealing with That's a tough room

366
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: for me right now. Yeah.

367
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: They got injuries all over the place on offense, so

368
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: it's going to be really interesting to see just who

369
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: plays and how much coming up on Saturday against the

370
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. On defense, Juju Brents, and Darius Rush. They're

371
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: back to practice. Specifically with Brent's great to see he's

372
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: worked out in each of the last three days. As

373
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: we sit here and talk right now, he's dealt with

374
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: the wrist and he had the hamstring. Can he push

375
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: Can he work his way back into the mix within

376
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 4: those starting reps? Or has Darryl Baker, who hasn't missed

377
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: a single practice, hasn't missed a single rep so far

378
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: this camp with the starting defense. Is he on pace

379
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 4: to kind of locking that down here right now?

380
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: Well, he's on pace to be the starter if you

381
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: played short term. Yeah, I've really liked what I've seen

382
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: with Brents. Okay, I've watched now three practices. One thing

383
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: I really really stands out with me to him is

384
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: he has terrific quickness. You know, for a guy that long.

385
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: Normally guys that have that kind of length are long

386
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: striders and they bill speed. He has terrific quickness in line.

387
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: It's rare. And you know, if you go back to numbers,

388
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: he ran a four to two one short shuttle, which

389
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: is fast. I mean, people don't think metrics matter, but

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: so I always check when I see out on the field.

391
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: Did the metrics matter?

392
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: Sure?

393
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: And you know, he's got real long arms. The biggest

394
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: thing I think with him is, you know, technique wise, okay,

395
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: And that's why missing all these practices, because whether he's

396
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: in a press, whether he's off, his initial technique is

397
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: so important. In other words, if I'm pressing you, he's

398
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: the kind of guy he's got to get his hands

399
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: on you. And he's got those long arms. He's got

400
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: that length. And to me now and then Rush is

401
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: a little bit opposite. Rush has much more speed. But

402
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Rush is as sudden, you know, as

403
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: quick footed. I don't. I don't hard to define sudden sometimes,

404
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: but you know, I know what suddenness. You know, Rush

405
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: a little bit more ponderous. But he's got great catch

406
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: up speed. If it were me, because those guys missed

407
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: a lot there these next two and a half weeks,

408
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: their tongues would be hanging out because I would play

409
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 2: them till they died, okay, with the exception of a

410
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: health issue, and they say take it easy on the

411
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: hamstring or whatever. I'm putting those guys in games when

412
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: I take my starters out, especially Prince, and if I

413
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: don't see the threes in games, I really don't care

414
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: because the.

415
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: Future, yeah is there, twenty nine, thirty thirty nine, and.

416
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 2: I you know what, I'm fine right now. You know,

417
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm fine right now with Baker and Flowers. I mean,

418
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: they can run, they'll compete, but in the end, those

419
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: are the two guys you have to get ready.

420
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: With Brand's eighteen practices, he missed eighteen between the spring

421
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 4: and the early portion of camp.

422
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: It is not ideal to your.

423
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: Point, I want to double back to the offensive line.

424
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: That's my fault. I should have talked.

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: About this when we were speaking on the offense. But

426
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: the entire offensive line has played together. Those starting five guys,

427
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 4: they have played together every rep, every snap, every practice.

428
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: I think so far that equates to like over three

429
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: hundred to this point. First team reps in practice. How

430
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: do you see the offensive line coming along and are

431
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 4: they on pace to bounce back after giving up sixty

432
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: sacks collectively last year?

433
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: I say, right now, you know, without going overboard, the

434
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: arrows pointing up, there's nothing better. It's true in the secondary,

435
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: but we haven't had that luxury. But there's no position

436
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: that needs continuity like the offensive line. And you have

437
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: to play together. And I've always been critical of sorting

438
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: those guys and running them in and out. You have

439
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: to play as a unit, five as one. That's the

440
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 2: only way you can pick up.

441
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: The cults are doing that in spite of cross training, right, No,

442
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: that's right, a different position.

443
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: But they're doing it, and that's really really important what

444
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 2: I've seen out there. And a lot of times, like

445
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: with an offense, I always say, with an offensive lineman

446
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: and a corner, if you don't hear anything about them

447
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it means they probably

448
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: had a pretty good day, you know. Really how that's

449
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: alignment In corners, if you hear a lot about them,

450
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: it's usually like not very good. Here's here's what I

451
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: feel right now, and it's good news, and it's some

452
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: bad news. The good news is I feel like our

453
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: offensive line is create hitting seams with the running game.

454
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: I thought on Sunday when we had a hot practice.

455
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: I saw Dion bust through there a couple of times

456
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 2: on zone players. I mean where he ripped it, you

457
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: know it, and there was place to run. And I

458
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: haven't seen the leakage or seepage that I saw a

459
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 2: year ago.

460
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: I haven't.

461
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it now. That doesn't mean it's not there.

462
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 2: We're still pretty vanilla, you know. We haven't done a

463
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: lot of blitzing, you know, but I see that now.

464
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: On the other side of it. What I haven't felt

465
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: is the defensive line. Yeah, I felt our linebackers, I

466
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: think are really ready to go, I said Kenny Moore,

467
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: Leonard Franklin speed. Those guys have looked good. I mean

468
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: they have. They have come to play, They've come ready.

469
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: Now Buckner hasn't played a lot, so you know, you

470
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 2: got to take that in consideration. But I just haven't

471
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: felt that rush at all. You know, I just see

472
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: even as much as I did a year ago.

473
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 3: So that's even from the starting group. Dig from the

474
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: starting group.

475
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I don't put that much when I

476
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: look at the backup guys. You know, I'm looking guys

477
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 2: individual when I look at that first group, I look

478
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: at the group, you know, and I just haven't felt it.

479
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: It's Rick Venturrey inside football. Closing out Rick. Lastly, with

480
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 4: this game coming up on Saturday and buffalo first preseason game, obviously,

481
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: don't worry about the score, but you laid out some

482
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 4: things that you know, some factors that will make it

483
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: a success, some variables that ones On Ones first group

484
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: needs to play well. Anthony Richardson needs to play with

485
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: that first group to some degree, whether that's an entire

486
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 4: quarter or a couple of series. What else makes it

487
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: a good day for the Colts outside of the score and.

488
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: By well, and you know what, and I agree with you.

489
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: I think preseason results scoring don't matter. Now you know

490
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: my scoring system, and I'll give it to the fans

491
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: again here. Yep, you know I scored a little differently,

492
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: so I'm looking at what the progress of my real

493
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: team is, not what the score is at the end

494
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: of the day. Again, we talked about this last week.

495
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: When I go into a preseason game and it's my

496
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: number ones out there and it's Buffalo's number ones, I

497
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: want you to win the game. And that doesn't mean

498
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to scheme to win it. That means that

499
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: my fundamental football execution and playmaking is better than yours.

500
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: If it's ten plays, if it's a quarter, you're representing

501
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: what we're gonna play with September tenth. So you go

502
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: out there and if it's rich good, put him out

503
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: there and let him do it. I want him to

504
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: get ones. I want him to get the speed of

505
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: what you know, losson is what Buffalo's number ones are

506
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: on defense. And then when the other kids are in there,

507
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: what I'm looking for is again I said this last week,

508
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: flash your talent. Show me what you got. I can't

509
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: wait you as a group, But show me why are

510
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: you here? You know, get you know if you're a

511
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: pass rusher, give you an edge rush show it to me.

512
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: I don't expect you to be in that situation now.

513
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: And the way I score it, the way I score

514
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: it for my own personal and I started doing this

515
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: a long time ago. I get I score it by

516
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: how you win a quarter. If you win the first

517
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 2: quar or of a preseason game, you get seven. If

518
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: you win the second quarter, three, okay, third quarter two,

519
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter one. So if you don't win the first quarter,

520
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: you really can't win the real game. Sure, yeah, I

521
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: mean I've seen Scrubs play in the fourth quarter, score

522
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: twenty two points, you know, and it looks like you

523
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: won thirty five to twenty. Yeah, and it meant absolutely nothing. Yeah,

524
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: And that's been a pretty good barometer over the years.

525
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 4: First quarter seven, seven, quarter three, third quarter two, yep,

526
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: and then fourth quarter one.

527
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: All right, so that if you win the other three quarters,

528
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: you still can't overcome you're ones versus one.

529
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 4: I like it a lot of onus on that first quarter.

530
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: That's Rick Van Turrey's own scoring system. Rick's got a

531
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: lot of stuff in that rictionary with three almost three

532
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: decades of coaching background in terms of major college football

533
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 4: and also on NFL sidelines.

534
