Stephanie Pemberton vpmart I 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: don't know what he said.

One of the big shots from 75 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: the front office, Stephanie Pemberton, we'll be in here to 76 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: go over all things Colts Training Camp, you know, the 77 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: kids zone and everything like that for entertain make great 78 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: food and all that coming up there, autographs, it's all happening. 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: She's gonna break it down. But first and foremost, mate, 80 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: take I gotta get into some camp battles with you, 81 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: because that's what the people do want. They're driving around 82 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: right now, wandering first and foremost Michael Pittman Junior last 83 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: year over a thousand yards. They didn't have another wide 84 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: receiver on that roster last year that didn't have more 85 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: than three hundred and eighty four yards. And I am 86 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: talking about this because we want to find out Michael 87 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: Pittman in two seasons one hundred and twenty eight catches 88 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: over fifteen hundred yards and seven touchdown to the other 89 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: eleven cult receivers on the roster have a combined one 90 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty reception. So who is it? Matta? Obviously 91 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: there's a number one draft pick out of Cincinnati named 92 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: mister Alec Pierce is gonna come in right, make some headwin, 93 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: try and get on the field, get some catches, matete 94 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: other than Michael Pittman Jr. Give me two names, breakout 95 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: names are gonna adds to the reception? Well, I mean, 96 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: I think if you I've said this all off season, 97 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: I think if you play a game right now, you 98 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: are solidified with four of your possible six or seven 99 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver spots. Pittman, Alec Pierce, Paris Campbell's coming back 100 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: at Ashton Dolin because of what he does on offense 101 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: and on special teams. So that leaves about eight guys 102 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: vying for about two or three spots. Will it be 103 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Desmond Patman and Mike Strown those are the guys in 104 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: that bigger body category. Or will it be Key Key 105 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: qt Into Michael Harris, those are the fast guys that 106 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: can play in the slot. That's kind of the mold 107 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: are in or is a combination of one player from 108 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: each category from each bucket. So, you know, just like 109 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: last year, Jeffrey, when the Colts were pretty confident in 110 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: their their pass rush group, the Colts are confident in 111 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: their young wide receivers who they think are ready for 112 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 1: much bigger roles than they've had his shoulder in the past. 113 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: So they they've got a lot of talent at wide receiver, 114 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: but the players they believe in just haven't had that 115 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: opportunity yet to show what they can do and take 116 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: on such a big responsibility within this offer, and a 117 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: good quarterback can make a young wide receiver look real good, 118 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: real quick. Welcome in, Matt Ryan. I like everything about him. 119 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want you to speak for Chris Ballard. 120 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: But if you were speaking for Chris Ballard, which would 121 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: you sign a veteran wide receiver? Maytake. I don't want 122 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: you to talk for the guy, but go ahead and 123 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: talk for the guy. Uh yeah, I are in wide 124 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: receiver out there, somebody maybe cut Scott down the line, 125 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: maybe somebody who hasn't been signed up to this point. 126 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: What do you think? I mean, it's it's so hard 127 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: to say, because again, the Colts are very high on 128 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: the talent that they have that they think can blossom 129 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: into more. But in the offseason workout program, it's still 130 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: kind of a walk through. You're not in full pads. 131 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: Once we put on the pads and once we start 132 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: going eleven on eleven, and once the Detroit Lions come 133 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: in here Jeffery for those joint practices, then I think 134 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be apples to apples. Then I think you're 135 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna see a true comparison and a pretty good gauge 136 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: on where you're at in terms of talent and viability 137 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position. Towards the back end of 138 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: the roster, then I think you're gonna get a pretty 139 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: good gauge on whether or not you need to bring 140 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: in a veteran wide receiver to kind of stable that position. Asmen, Patman, 141 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: Michael Stron, we're talking about young guys on the roster 142 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: that may get their mark starts up at Graham Park 143 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: for the Colts training camp again July twenty seventh. More 144 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: information over at Colts dot com. Let's go shift positions now, 145 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: left tackles. Is it? Who is it? At the left 146 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: tackle spot? The culture gonna have new two new starters 147 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: on that old lion the first time, folks, since two 148 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen. The biggest battle upfront left tackle? Will 149 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: it be Matt Pryor or will it be third round 150 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: pick out of Central Michigan Bernard Rieman. And I'm gonna 151 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: throw another one in there, Okay, Dennis Kelly, a veteran, 152 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: thirty two year old guy, got some starts under his belt. 153 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Colts signed him in the offseason. What do you like 154 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: at the left tackle position? And is this the year 155 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: that a rookie left tackle comes out and says, hey, 156 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: that position is mine? Bernard Ryman? Is it you? Yeah? 157 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: It could be a guy that I mean, it's very 158 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: rare to see that happen for a rookie left tackle. 159 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: As you say, but outside of the first round, because 160 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: Ryman's a third round guy, as you alluded to. So 161 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating either way. You've got a veteran 162 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: Matt Pryor who has very little experience playing left tackle 163 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: versus a rookie who has literally no experience at all 164 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the Colts are really high on 165 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: both of these guys. They resigned Prior in free agency. 166 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: He's been working exclusively at left tackle this offseason, you know, 167 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: kind of honing his football craft, zeroing in on his 168 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: footwork to man that position on the left side. And 169 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: then you've got Ryman drafted in the third round. The 170 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Colts believe in his long term future. Really athletic guy, 171 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: former tight in in college, only has two years of 172 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: playing tackle in them at Central Michigan. So this is 173 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a true camp battle because I think both 174 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: men are gonna be given the chance to start, maybe 175 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: not equal reps with the first team offense, but the 176 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: Colts want to see what they have in both guys 177 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: with the first team. I think the early leg up 178 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: probably goes to prior Jeffrey because he does have NFL 179 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: experience and his crafty from the knowledge you get by 180 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: playing four years in the NFL. But that being said, 181 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: don't discount what Ryman can do and make up in 182 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: that regard in a short amount of time. So slight 183 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: leg up to prior. But that's a very important battle 184 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: at one of the most important spots on the team. 185 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Give Matt Ryan plenty of time and create holes for 186 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor at his one and one a on the 187 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: resume of that left tackle. So we're gonna find out 188 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: camp battles are. We can't predict them, but it's gonna 189 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: be fun watching out who is the starter upon week 190 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: one at the left tackle position. I'm gonna say the 191 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: same thing at safety because this is another fun battle 192 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: we have going on. We got a manimal I'm gonna 193 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: call my manimal type guy in a rookie Nick Cross 194 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: half man half, just saying this is a big man 195 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: who can play the position. We got Nick Cross back there, 196 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: drafted in a third round out of Maryland and I'd 197 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: love this signing by Chris Ballard in the offseason. Veteran 198 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: option excuse me, veteran player from Philadelphia. Rodney McLeod is 199 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: also part of the mix. What do you see on 200 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: that battle. I think it just boils down to who 201 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: strictly has the best camp, who has the best month 202 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: of August in the preseason. Because McLeod has one hundred 203 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: and twenty three career starts, been a consistent starter for 204 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: ten years in the NFL, So there's nothing that you 205 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: can throw at him that he hasn't seen on defense. 206 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: So how much do you want his wisdom? How much 207 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: do you want his experience in the first part of 208 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: the year when you're playing those AFC South games right 209 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: out of the gate, because the other option is no 210 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: experience at all. A Nick Cross. But as we've talked 211 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: about Jeffrey, this dude is dripping with potential, came out early, 212 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: and he looks like the total package at safety, speed, range, physicality. 213 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's either experience or high upside and a 214 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: guy they think can probably be the long term answer 215 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: at safety. But Julian Blackman being on schedule Jeffrey to 216 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: start this season healthy, that's really positive news because the 217 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: Cary Willis retirement leaves the Colts with some questions at safety. Obviously, 218 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: going into this game, you're talking offensive line, we have 219 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: good depth there. Whoever wins the starting position. Don't worry. 220 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: We have good depth on the offensive line. I'm gonna 221 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: say the same thing at the safety position. We have 222 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: good depth there because it's just a matter of time 223 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: before Nick Cross comes up and says, hey, I'm here 224 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: to play day in and day out. Another great battle 225 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: happening is at the safety position while we're there. Don't 226 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: forget last word ninety five one or seven five to 227 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: the fan, Matt Taylor. I'm Jeffrey Gorman. We're getting this 228 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: breakdown to the Colts camps and some of these battles. 229 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: I'm going to the kicking position, all right. Rodrigo Blank 230 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: and Ship. He had a stellar rookie season, injured his 231 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: hip in Week five of last year and never returned 232 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: to the active roster. Boom insert Michael Badgeley. The money 233 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Badger was an awful good kicker last year. Offseason comes around. 234 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't know who signed him. Maybe it was Cleveland 235 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: somebody like that that scooped him up. He's no longer 236 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: part of the mix. Michael Badgeley isn't there. The coach 237 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: do have a second kicker on the roster right now. 238 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: That's Jake Verty, who spent last preseason with the Ravens. 239 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Is this one blake and Ship's job that does he 240 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: have to this one to lose or does he again 241 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: have to prove himself all over again? Mate? By the way, 242 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Michael Badgeley is still a free agent out there. Really yeah, 243 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: And like you said he was, he was very consistent 244 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: d Cleveland signing. Sorry Brown's fans to get you all 245 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: excited about the money badger coming in. But three points 246 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: automatic for these sounds. Wait wait a minute, no, no, 247 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: that's not right. Uh no, But I think I think 248 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: Rodrigo is used to this, you know because last year 249 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: he had to beat out Eddie pinero U. The year 250 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: before that, as a rookie, competed with Chase McLoughlin and 251 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: won that battle. So he's used to, you know, sharpening 252 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: his skills in the offseason and dealing with the pressure 253 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: of having another kicker on the roster in the preseason. 254 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: But I think not coming back to the roster last 255 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: year Jeffrey has left him with a little bit of 256 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: a you know, a chip on his shoulder or you know, 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: extra motivation. I don't know if you got that vibe, 258 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: because he was pretty you know, business oriented with the 259 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: media in the off season when he spoke with reporters, 260 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: and normally he's he's a pretty and not that he 261 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: wasn't this way, but normally he's pretty, you know, jovial 262 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: and happy, go lucky, and again not that he wasn't, 263 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: but he just had this extra kind of fire in 264 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: his eyes when he spoke, and people have pointed out 265 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's heard it. You know, the distance or 266 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: lack thereof, He's just three of eight on kicks over 267 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: forty five yards in his career. I think he kind 268 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: of takes umbradge over the fact that people say he 269 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: can't consistently not kicks down from distance. I think he's 270 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: out to prove people wrong in that regard this season. 271 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: Last year, he didn't miss a single kick in training camp, 272 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: and he'll have to obviously put his best foot forward. 273 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: No pun intended this camp as well to remain the 274 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Colts kicker after having one of the best rookie kicking 275 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: seasons in franch his history. So kind of out to 276 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: prove that. Last year, after Week five, him not coming 277 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: back to the roster was a little bit of a 278 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: blip on the radio, just because he wasn't great three 279 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: of eight after over forty five. That doesn't mean anything. 280 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: A guy had a lot of time to recuperate his 281 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: body last year and this offseason getting stronger. I like 282 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: some bombs going up for Rodrigo blanket ship, and I agree. 283 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: I believe this is his job to lose out there. 284 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: Another kicker is gonna be coming in. They're gonna have 285 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: to take some reps away from Rodrigo obviously, so there 286 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: will be a camp battle of swords. We're just gonna 287 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: find out how big a one that other guy is. 288 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Jake Verity, and he's got a lot of raw potential. 289 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: He was in camp last year. He's out of East Carolina, 290 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: was in preseason camp with the Baltimore Ravens, kind of 291 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: that understudy to Justin Tucker. So he's got he's got 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: a big leg. It's kind of the biggest thing the 293 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: Colts are missing from their kicker the last couple of years, 294 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: pretty solid, pretty consistent, you know, between forty forty nine. 295 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: But once you get over it's such a weapon Jeffrey 296 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: to have in the two minute drill late in the 297 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: first half, late in the game, to be confident in 298 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: what you have from the kicking position to nail big 299 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: kick fifty plus yards absolutely needed Rodrigo Blanketship. All eyes 300 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: will be on you. Big fella has got himself some 301 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: time under his belt to recuperate and get stronger, and 302 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: it's happened.

Plus, 398 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, the great thing is we're kind of in 399 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: that post COVID where we've been able to remove a 400 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: lot of the restrictions, So autograph sessions are coming back. 401 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: You're really gonna get a chance to enter with these guys. 402 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: And that's what's so special about training camp is you know, 403 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: even on game day, you're you're not this close to 404 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: the players, but training camp gives you that real shot 405 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: to be up close and personal. And there's just an 406 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: amazing sense of community and togetherness that we feel when 407 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: we're out there at camp, and so we're really excited. 408 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: We're excited to bring a fully open, fully normal camp 409 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: back for the first time in a few years for 410 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: our fans. So we hope to see everyone out there. 411 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: Colts dot Com slash Camp, as you mentioned, free tickets 412 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, we'll see you out of Graham Park absolutely. 413 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: That's Stephanie Pimmerton with us. She's the vice president of 414 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: marketing for the Indianapolis Colts. I want to double back 415 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: to the Marvel. People lose their minds over this. This 416 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: is so cool. I mean we're seeing more and more 417 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: sports teams partner with Marvel to create you know, just 418 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: new concepts and things like that. Us all the Indianapolis 419 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: Indians did it pretty cool stuff. How has this evolved? 420 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: How did it come to be where Marvel is kind 421 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: of taken over the sports world? Yeah, I mean, I 422 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: think to your point, it's something that's probably been a 423 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: little more popular in kind of the baseball realm, and 424 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: we've seen, you know, brand do it over the few years. 425 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: And I think one of the things we're excited about 426 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: is really putting our own unique spin on it. And 427 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: so some of the things that we're doing are new 428 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: and different and haven't necessarily been done. And so I 429 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that's been exciting is 430 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: working with Marvel. They are some of the most creative 431 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: people I've ever met and just have built this amazing brand, 432 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and so I think for us, it was, 433 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, an opportunity to bring together too incredibly strong 434 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: brands and really create something unique and special that I 435 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: think our fans are going to get really excited about, 436 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: whether you're a Colts fan, whether you're just a Marvel fan. 437 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to appeal to a lot of 438 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: different folks and get them really excited about this season 439 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: and just you know some of the things that we 440 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: have planned for some of our games. You know, I 441 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: read the other day there's only there's only six teams 442 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL that still go away for camp. Think 443 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: about that. So there's twenty six out of thirty two 444 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: teams that are sort of behind closed doors at the 445 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: team facility. They're not doing what the Colts are doing 446 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: in terms of being out in front of the fans 447 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: away from the complex for training camp. Why do you 448 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: think the cults continue to prioritize that. Yeah, I mean 449 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: it really starts with mister Erstan and Chris Ballard. They 450 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: believe so strongly that training camp is about UM, not 451 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: just about the football team developing, but it's about giving 452 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: back to our community and being a part of the 453 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: community and giving fans access that they can't get anywhere else. 454 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: And so I think it really starts with that leadership 455 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: and trickles down from there. And they, you know, we 456 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: really believe that this is an amazing opportunity. You know, 457 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: whether or not you can get to a game or not, 458 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity to bring the whole family 459 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: out UM and to have a great experience and to 460 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: have fun together and to again. Yeah, and it's free, 461 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: and it's just to have that sense of community, that connectedness, 462 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: and so I think that's why it's so special. And 463 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: but it really starts with with mister Erst Chris Ballard 464 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: believing in it and and saying, you know what, this 465 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: may not operationally be the easiest thing to you know, 466 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 1: move literally. I mean, our equipment team has already been 467 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: up there moving all. I mean, you know, you don't 468 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: see that side of it, but the dry I'm moving 469 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: a weight room, folks, I'm moving everything. Weight room is 470 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: it is not fun. Stephanie Pemberton, Vice President of Marketing, 471 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: we're talking Colts Camp right now.

Okay, I got I got 715 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: news for you all. Right. The NFL said this week 716 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 1: that they've been overwhelmed by demand for tickets for their 717 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: first regular season game in Germany later this year. So 718 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: gudenog did that game. The Buccaneers are gonna face a 719 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: lot of schnitzel, good schnitzel. The Buccaneers are gonna face 720 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in November with Tom Brady on the field. 721 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: Tickets went on sale this week and more than seven 722 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand people access the site at the 723 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: same time, according to an NFL spokesperson, Like, I know, 724 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: you can't fit seven hundred and seventy thousand people in 725 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: a stadium, but there are some hundred thousand and seed 726 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: stadiums over there in Europe. Right, is the NFL that's 727 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: what you call a server crash, I'm asking you, okay, 728 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: after that server crash? All right? Is the NFL and 729 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: football becoming a global sport rivaling soccer? Oh my gosh, 730 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: rivaling soccer? Maybe not soccer, up with that question, soccer 731 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: soccer casey Valia. Maybe it's not gonna touch socker. Okay, 732 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: it's not gonna touch Socker. I mean there are islands. 733 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: I think there are small islands that we don't even 734 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: know the names of them. That they're playing soccer right 735 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: now with a beaten tether ball or a brand new ball, 736 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: but they're not throwing the pigskin around. I'm just saying 737 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: rival soccer. The fact that more and more players seven 738 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: seventy thousand people at one time making a crash. I 739 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: hear your point. I mean, you know it, more and 740 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: more players aren't coming from all aspects, are all different 741 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: places from the globe. I mean, Quitty Pay just went 742 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: to an NFL African event in June, and these are 743 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: all positive things for the league and for the game 744 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: of football. So it's really no surprise. You got one 745 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand people going to two games in 746 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: London every year. There's there's sellouts in Mexico City. So 747 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: football was becoming more and more popular due to the 748 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: young stars, the great quarterbacks that we have in this league. 749 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: And then quite frankly, the NFL markets itself better than 750 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: any other sport out there right now. So yeah, maybe 751 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: not soccer, but it's it's definitely growing. It's rivaling worldwide. Yeah, 752 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: maybe it maybe a dumb question, and I'm sorry baseball 753 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: and baseball purists, but the American past dying. It was 754 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: currently the National Football League. I don't think there's any questions. 755 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: That's what I'm just here. I'm just the messenger said, 756 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: don't shoot me down, mate, take gift out next to 757 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: the garage.

It's so gross, 762 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: and drink it. I used to drink because it would 763 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: be summer and we'd be dying, or we'd be playing 764 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: ice hockey in the dead of winter. I'm that same 765 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: river rouge, the Ruge River, and then dip our, you know, 766 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: hands down into where it wasn't melted down there, and 767 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: drink out of it. I'm shocked. I'm not green right now. 768 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, more dead bodies in the Ruge 769 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: River than there are in any Chicago river.
