1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Welcome is an instant reaction. We are reacting to preseason

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: game number two, the preseason home opener for the NFL's Colts,

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: as they hosted the Green Bay Packers. They fall, and

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: that's really you know, it's up in question really because

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: of that final play there to Julani Woods. So we

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: aren't going to dive into the score or anything and

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: like that. But the Colts do host the Green Bay

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Packers for prese and game number two, the first time

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: inside Lucas Oil Stadium. A lot of really good went

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: into the game. There was some things you want to

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: clean up. But for instant reaction, I'm Casey Value, joined

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: as always by Bill Brooks. Bill. First off, I want

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: to talk to you about how great it felt to

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: be back inside home, if you will. We haven't been

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: here in a while, and I stepped in and I said, man,

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: this feels like home again.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: It's always nice to be back home anytime.

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: Yes, to play in Lucas Oyo Stadium and find your

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: home fans, the fans feel good. The charing and ruining

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 3: the home team on its always a good feeling.

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: Yes, it was, and there was a lot of fans

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: today which I don't know if I wasn't expecting it,

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: but I thought it was a pretty good fan turnout today.

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Per usual, the Green Bay Packers fans always travel well,

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of cheeseheads and green and

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: yellow here in the stadium. But for the most part,

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really well attended game. It

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: was the only preseason game that's going to be inside Indianapolis,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: inside Lucasoa Stadium, so it was glad to see the

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Colts fans turn out. So to dive into the game bill, yes,

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: it is only fitting to talk about the one thing

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about when you think Indianapolis Colts,

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and that is the kicking competition. Yep, no quarterback bell,

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Come on, you know where we're going on that.

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: I know where you're going.

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: So we saw Daniel Jones get the start today and

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: he played into the second quarter. That second drive that

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: he had was a really long drive, led into the

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: second quarter, ultimately did not find the end zone, but

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: was he able to get points. He finishes the day

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: for eleven one hundred and one yards. I thought he

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: was efficient. He looked pretty good, just two drives, but

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that final drive was really a nice drive and then

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson came in and played essentially the remainder of

45
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the second quarter. He finished six of eleven for seventy

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: three yards. So I'm gonna kind of dive into both

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: of these guys. So we're gonna start with Daniel Jones

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: since he got the start today. How would you assess

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: what we saw out of Daniel Jones in his first

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: time inside Lucasail Stadium wearing a Colt uniform. I thought

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: he looked pretty poised, looked pretty good today, he did.

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: He looked pretty poison today. I think, you know, he

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: looked just like he's lived in camp right now.

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: He's done a lot of things that he did in

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: camp during practice he'd done out.

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: Here in the preseason game. He played well.

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: He got the ball of his hands quick once he

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: got back to his backstep, got the ball out to

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: the receiver so they can hopefully make a good catch

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: and move the ball down the field.

61
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: So he did a lot of nice things. The thing

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: that I really like was no turnovers.

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: Yes you no.

64
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: No to me, that's a big you know, the quarterback

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: going out there having command of the huddle, having command

66
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: of the offense and not turning the ball over and

67
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: getting the ball into the guy's hands so they could

68
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: make plays. And he did that, you know, took the

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: short throws, nice throws, got the ball out ball were

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: as ketchable for the receivers so they could make something happen.

71
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: I thought he did a nice job.

72
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: And ultimately we talk about turnovers. I think for both quarterbacks.

73
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: That has been one of the things we've talked about

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: throughout all of training camp is the ball has you know,

75
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, there really hasn't been that many turnovers,

76
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: which is really good, especially in this competition, because that's

77
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the big breakers when you think

78
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: about it. If guys consistently turning the football over, it's

79
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: really hard to try to rely on him to be

80
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: a guy that can lead this offense. Now, one of

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: the things that we did see, we saw the overthrow

82
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: that he had on Tyler Warren. That one I'm sure

83
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: is the throw he'd went back, but then you flash

84
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: forward to the next drive, he's able to hit Tyler

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Warren on a deep play inside the red zone. So ultimately,

86
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I thought one of the big keys I thought going

87
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: into today that I wanted to see out of Daniel

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Jones was the ability to push the ball down the field.

89
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: And I think there was a heavy emphasis on doing that.

90
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I think he had tempted more passes than we have

91
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: been accustomed to seeing throughout his career of showing he

92
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: can showcase that arm and force the ball down the field.

93
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Is that something that when you looked at Daniel Jones

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: coming in and that narrative of you know, he's not

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna blow you away with the ball down the field,

96
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: him showing that, you know what, I can do that too,

97
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Because ultimately my biggest thing with Daniel Jones to this

98
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: point was weapons were the big reason why he hadn't

99
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: been labeled as a guy who pushed the ball down

100
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: the field, because you could only work with what you're

101
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: working with, and maybe he didn't have those type of

102
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: dynamic players and weapons in New York a little bit

103
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: different than what the Colts offense is. It's predicated on

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: big plays and I thought today he was able to

105
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: show you know that I can't push the ball down

106
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the field.

107
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to be able to show you can

108
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: push the ball down the field, not only just for yourself,

109
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: showing that hey, look I do have the arm to

110
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: get the ball.

111
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Down the field. But for the offense as well. Almos

112
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: up the offense.

113
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to be so much so

114
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: that your one dimensional or that you're limited in how

115
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: far you're gonna throw the ball down the field away,

116
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: gone dank and dunk all the way down the field.

117
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: You want to be able to open up all the field.

118
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: So hey, look know what if I want to go deep,

119
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: I have a guy outside that I can go deep

120
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: with and I can get the ball to him. I

121
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: can get the ball to Alec Pirice down the field.

122
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: I can get the ball to ad Mitchell down the field.

123
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: I can get the ball to Ashton Dulan down the field.

124
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: I can make those throws Tyler Warren down the field.

125
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: So that's what you want to show. So heme out

126
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: there showed it.

127
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: Mad a nice pass to Tyler Warren for twenty five yards,

128
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: the big play down the field. So that's good that

129
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: he showed that that he can do it. It's gonna

130
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: be part of the Colt's offense, and that's what you

131
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: want to show. You want to be diversified and what

132
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: you can do the versy five and what you can

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: do on the offense.

134
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: So you can throw.

135
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 3: Short passes, middle passes, middle I should say middle of

136
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: the road passes, fifteen to sixteen center media passes, and

137
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: then you can throw the ball down the field for

138
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: the big play. So he showed that you can do it.

139
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: And we know Anthony can do that. Yeah, we actually

140
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: know that he can throw the ball down the field.

141
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: So that's what you want to show, and I think

142
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Dani showed that.

143
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: He can do that.

144
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Now that's one thing that you know, good transition there.

145
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, as I said, he came in, replaced Daniel

146
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: Jones in the second quarter and played until halftime six

147
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: of eleven, passing for seventy three yards. That opening drive

148
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: that he had, he moved the football down the field.

149
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: It ended with a Tyler Goodson touchdown, the only touchdown

150
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: that the Colts had today. I thought, for the most

151
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: part that opening drive was a really good positive note.

152
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: But then you look at also it's all encompassing. I

153
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: think he would have really loved to have proved in

154
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: that two minute drill right before half that he could

155
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: push the ball field, push the ball down the field.

156
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: And I feel like that was kind of a maybe

157
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: like a lackluster offensive drive, it actually gave you know,

158
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: the Packers an opportunity to go down and score. So ultimately,

159
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: I think that first drive you take. You know, because

160
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: we'll look at Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson as we've

161
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: talked about at nauseum, it seems like have been very

162
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: even even. The stat line today very even, and I

163
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: think they both had a drive today that you can

164
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: look at and say we can win with that, especially

165
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: in Anthony's leading him to a touchdown exactly.

166
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: You know, on both of the both the quarterbacks are

167
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: athletic youths.

168
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: Athletic can run. He had, he had a scrambled day,

169
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: al what he ran got some positive yards out of it.

170
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: So you know that both are athletics. So it's important

171
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: that they both go out there and showed what they're

172
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: gonna do. And Anthony showed that today. You know, he

173
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: made some nice.

174
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Throws, hit hit some people in the spots. I think

175
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: he hit Drew over tree one time, yeah, down there.

176
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: So I mean he made some nice throws to people,

177
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: and that's what you want to see. You want to

178
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: see those intermediate throws, you want to see those short throws.

179
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Him getting the ball out of his hands.

180
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: He did that today, showing that he can make those

181
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: throws and that's important for the Coast offense. It's gonna

182
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: be important for Shane Stykee to make a decision, and

183
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to make a decision sooner or later

184
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: who's going to be.

185
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: The starting quarterback now before we dive into Shane Styke

186
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: and that decision ultimately he's going to have to make.

187
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to throw you on the spot.

188
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I feel bad for even asking this question. But with

189
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Anthony he has more of a sample size within this offense.

190
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: Right you can take into consideration what he has done

191
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: in his previous two seats with the Indianapolis Colts. Now,

192
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: I know there are ups and downs, there are injuries

193
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: that have made it where we are right now. But

194
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: for Shane Stiken, all he has of game footage and

195
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: I guess you could say joint practice is just four

196
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: of those. For Daniel Jones, two joint practices one against

197
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens, won against the Packers, and then the two

198
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: preseason games. Is it at all saying that? You know,

199
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: that's how important all of these practices are going to

200
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: be because there is a little bit more video footage

201
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: from what Shane has seen with Anthony Richardson inside his offense.

202
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's very important to these practices and

203
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: the joint practices and of course these presets and games.

204
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: But with Daniel and Shane Steikeen's offense, you know, it's

205
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: going to be important to see ar in Shane Steiken's offense.

206
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: So kind of you're comparing apples to apples, right, you

207
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: have an idea of Okay, this is what this guy

208
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: can do in this offense, and this is what this

209
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: other guy can do in our offense.

210
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: So you have to have the applematical comparison.

211
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: And that's why I think it's a good competition because

212
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 3: last week, you know, unforced when Anthony got dinged up,

213
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: so we.

214
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: Had to miss some of the preseason game.

215
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: But kind of switched it up as far as who

216
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: have the most snaps today and compared it to last week.

217
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: So they both have it, even thom with snap yet

218
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: the two games. So it's very important that they keep

219
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: it equal so they can make a decision. You know,

220
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: whenever the decision he makes, you know he's gonna have

221
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 3: a tough decision to make. But it's gonna be his

222
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: decision and wherever decision he makes is gonna be best

223
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: for the team.

224
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: And speaking of that decision, Shane Stiken spoke with the

225
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Meetia today and said that he is close to making

226
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: that decision. We don't know anything. Don't ask me, please

227
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: stop texting me. Fans and firmly and friends and family.

228
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not in those meeting rooms. But

229
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: with all of that being said Shane Stiken, announcing that

230
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: he is close. We know we have three practices this week.

231
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: We have practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then that final preseason

232
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: game against Cincinnati. So I would assume that here real

233
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: soon we are going to know who the quarterback is

234
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: for that Week one game against the Dolphins. When Week

235
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: one rolls around, do you anticipate it happening this week? Bill?

236
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: Wow?

237
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Loaded question?

238
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: Loaded question?

239
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: I need an answer, you know what, I don't know.

240
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it will happen this week, but

241
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna it's gonna be soon.

242
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: I really don't know.

243
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I would love to say it would happen

244
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: this week so everyone can know and feel good about

245
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: the decision and be happy with it and move forward.

246
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 3: With it, but I don't know if it's gonna happen

247
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: this week, so I think it's a very close competition.

248
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have to see some things this week.

249
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he hasn't made up his mind by

250
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: game time against Cincinnati Bengals. I don't know that he

251
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: might make it after that game. So it's gonna be

252
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: It's difficult, difficult for me to say what is it

253
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: going to be? Is it gonna be this week or not?

254
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: But he has a tough decision to make. But hopefully,

255
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: you know what, these guys have some more time to

256
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: go out there and show what they can do, and

257
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: then hopefully you can slidify who is the starting quarterback

258
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: and then that decision is made moving forward and the

259
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: team can know and then hey, look it's about ready

260
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: to get ready for Miami Dolphins and hopefully win that

261
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: first reguless season game.

262
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Watch what I'm about to do here, Bill, You're ready

263
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: for this?

264
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

265
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: The easy decision that you have is checking out the

266
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Colts podcast, because you know what, when Shanezziken does make

Speaker 1: press conferences, all of that will be available for you.

272
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: So when he makes that tough decision, we've got your

273
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: back now. One of the things I wanted to talk

274
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: about today, and it's in large part because of the

275
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: narrative around the Colts tight ends. What we saw last

276
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: year league was the league low in receptions from a

277
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: group in the NFL. That was not the case today.

278
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: So here's the tight end receptions today. Okay, ready, Mohiley

279
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: Cox two catches for twenty five yards, Drew Ogletree two

280
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: catches for twenty eight yards, Jelannie Woods two catches for

281
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: twenty two yards. I'm going to go ahead and say

282
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: three catches and a touchdown or forty something. Tyler Warren

283
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: one catch for twenty five yards. Will Mallory won for

284
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: eleven So judging by my very elementary math skills, that's

285
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: eight catches for the tight end room. And that does

286
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: not include Jelanni Woods catch that I'm adamant about was

287
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a catch near the end zone. So that eight catches

288
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: today out of the tight end room. This is a

289
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: group that everybody said, you said you need to improve on.

290
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: You draft Tyler Warren. Everybody is excited anticipating him having

291
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: a massive rookie campaign. But I thought today as a collective,

292
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: that tight end room proved we can do some things.

293
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: Don't overlook Drew Ogletree, don't overlook mo Aley Cox and

294
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Will Mallory and Jolannie Woods. I thought they all looked

295
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: pretty good today.

296
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: They did look pretty good today.

297
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: That is a talented room in regardless to the tight

298
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 3: ends and what they can do out there in the

299
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: football field. Each of them brings something a little different

300
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: and special to the offense. But all those guys went

301
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: out there and Mason catches today. Mason plays, of course,

302
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren making a big play down there twenty five

303
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: yards and he's just to me, an individual that has

304
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: a boatload of talent that could run route, get open,

305
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: use his size, use his wingspan, catches the ball, well,

306
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: does a lot of good things out there in football field.

307
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: The same thing with Moiley Cox.

308
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: You know, he's catches the ball, but he also is

309
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: a good blocker, you know, So the guys could do

310
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: a little bit of something different. Each of them in

311
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: regards to bringing something to this offense. And it's good

312
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: to see those guys involved in the offense and be

313
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: able to catch the ball and do something with the

314
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: ball after they catch it.

315
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: One thing you bring up there, and that's one of

316
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: the things that we have talked to Shane Steichen about

317
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: how when he looks at a tight end room, he

318
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,479
Speaker 1: kind of wants to position himself almost like a basketball

319
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: team where you have multiple guys that can do different things. Therefore,

320
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: you don't kind of tip your hand when these guys

321
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: are on the field like, oh here Moiley Cox is

322
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: only can block. Well, he proved today he can do

323
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: more than just blocks, and I think that is one

324
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: very important feature when you're trying to think about where

325
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: these targets are going to fit inside this Golts offense

326
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: that tight end room. As you mentioned, these guys can

327
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: all do a little bit of something different. Now. I

328
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: do think that Tyler Warren is kind of you know,

329
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: he's a top that list because he does everything at

330
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: a pretty high level. Yes, I mean, he can put

331
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: his hand down and block, he can go out for

332
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: a nice fade route, he can catch the ball, and

333
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I like I constantly keep saying he's kind of like

334
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: a pinball machine. He just bounces off guys. I'm ready

335
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: to watch him put his head down and just barrel through.

336
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: But that tight end room kind of assembling like a

337
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: basketball team with guys that can do a lot of

338
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: things different. It's really beneficial for this offense.

339
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely would be beneficial for this offense.

340
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: And now it helps shame when he goes to make

341
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: a game plan against certain teams. Right, you know, we

342
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: can use we can use Tyler Warren for this. We

343
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: can use ill like Cocks for this. We can put

344
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: Geogratry here, we can use you know this guy for that.

345
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: So when you have.

346
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: A scheme where you can take different personnel and put

347
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: him in different positions, it makes it easier for you

348
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: as an offense because doesn't know exactly what you're going

349
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: to do.

350
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: These guys can do different things.

351
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: You know what you're going to put Tyler Warren in

352
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: the backfield at times?

353
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, is he gonna run the ball? He can't

354
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: run the right Yeah, that's true. Okay, you can put

355
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: him out there.

356
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: Hey, he was a quarterback in high school too. You

357
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: can pass the ball, you can pass the ball. As well.

358
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: Right, you put him in a three point stance.

359
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: Okay, as a tight end, you put him in a

360
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: two point stance kind of flexed out wide.

361
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: So what are you What are you going to do?

362
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: How are you going to defend that?

363
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: When you have guys that can do multiple different things,

364
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: it makes it difficult for a defense.

365
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: And that's what's that should give the.

366
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: Offense a step up or a leg up, or give

367
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: them advantage to go out there and make some good plays.

368
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Now, a couple final things here before we wrap up

369
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: instant reaction, and I want to talk about this is

370
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: not a stab, I promise, but the non household name

371
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: guys before where we are now and a couple of

372
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: those I really want to highlight one of them. I

373
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: know you have been very impressed by in coleman Owen. Yes,

374
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: and Lease, he's Bentley. I think these two guys are

375
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: really proving that they have what it takes to be

376
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a back end roster guy or a practice player, because

377
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: I think they are showing they've got some really talent.

378
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: And coleman Owen is a guy who I have been

379
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: very impressed by. I know you have been as well,

380
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: because he offers a lot when it comes from the

381
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: special teams aspect. He's proven that he can return, he

382
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: can play on teams, he can go down and cover.

383
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: But then also we saw, especially in that final drive

384
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: with Jason Been clearly there's a good target there that

385
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: he had. I mean, they've earned some chemistry there, but

386
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: in some ways, like you look at the starting receivers

387
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: on his Colts team and it's like you know that

388
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: if Alec Pierce is out, you can slide ad Mitchell

389
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: into that role, if Josh Downs is out, you can

390
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: slide Anthony gould in that role. I think coleman Owen

391
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that you really want to look at

392
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: it as maybe a one B behind Anthony gould in

393
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: what he can offer in that slot position. And you

394
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: know what you have in Ashton Doolan who is probably

395
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: going to be that fifth receiver. Yes, and he is

396
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: as solid as they come in the NFL. And we've

397
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: talked about Anthony Goulden having a really good camp, but

398
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: coleman Owen is proving that he might be a guy

399
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: that you might look up when roster cuts her in

400
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: that he may make this roster because he is doing

401
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: everything in his power to make it happen, and I

402
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: know you've been very excited and happy to watch him play.

403
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 3: Happy to see him play, happen, happy to see him

404
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: play out there wide receiver playing the slide, make some

405
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: plays and uses his little shifting us out there out

406
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: there in the slide.

407
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: But also as a returner, I mean kickoff returner, returner.

408
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: He can do those things and had a good day

409
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 3: returning kickoffs today against the Green Bay Packers.

410
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: So he did a nice job there.

411
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: So he's an individual that can play both special teams

412
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: and also he can play a wide receiver. Now will

413
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: he make the team. I don't know if he'll make

414
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: the team. I don't know if he's gonna be in

415
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: a practice squad. I don't know any of that. But

416
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: what I do know is that when he had an

417
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: opportunity to make plays, he out there.

418
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: And made plays.

419
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 3: And that's all you can do as an individual as

420
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: a player, make plays and make the decision.

421
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: For the coaches difficult. That's what you want to do

422
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: as a player.

423
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: He had an opportunity, he took advance it. Now, if

424
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: he makes this team, I don't know, But this film

425
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: out there.

426
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: Right now, A thirty one other teams are seeing this.

427
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: Too, seeing it what this young man can do, see

428
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: him return kicks, seeing him go.

429
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: Out there and cut some balls.

430
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: So it was very impreadive for him to go out there,

431
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 3: and very impreadive for young guys.

432
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: Just when they get the opportunity just to make the

433
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: most of it.

434
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: And he has made the most of it having those

435
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: opportunities go out there and playing right.

436
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: And one of the things that the Colts have a

437
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of benefit having is depth at the receiver group.

438
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: So when you talk about him whether or not he

439
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: makes this roster, it may be a tough one to

440
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: make because of the depth there, but not every roster

441
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: has that luxury. Right There's some teams that may not

442
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: have six receivers deep, and they can look at him

443
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: as a guy that they can kind of multipurpose and go,

444
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: you know what, we can really use him. So I'm

445
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: not saying that I want to see coleman Owen playing

446
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: somewhere else, because I really enjoy see him in a

447
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Colt's uniform. But what he's doing as a young guy

448
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: right now, as an undrafted player, really putting really good

449
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: tape out there. It's beneficial for him moving forward. Now,

450
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: another guy in a pretty crowded room. You've got Jonathan Taylor,

451
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: You've got Tyler Goodson who left today with an injury.

452
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: We don't know the severity of that. But you also

453
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: got DJ Giddens, who the Colds drafted veteran Khalil Herbert.

454
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: But I think Elisias Bentley is a guy who was

455
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: really I mean, honestly, I didn't know much about him

456
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: up until last week. You know, you've seen him at camp,

457
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: but he was just the guy wearing a number that

458
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: you weren't familiar with. And now he's really putting a

459
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: mark on this roster. And he's a guy that if

460
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: you have a couple of injuries like we mentioned, Khalil

461
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: Herbert's missed some time. Yes, Tyler Goodson left today, he

462
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: could be a guy that his number keeps getting called

463
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: and you may actually look at him as a guy

464
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: you can make.

465
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: An impact exactly. I mean.

466
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 3: And you know, like you said, these guys got hurt,

467
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: Tyler Gison got banged up, and you say Khalil Helbert's

468
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: banged up as well.

469
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: This is an opportunity for these guys to step up.

470
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: Yes, you don't know that, you know it might mean

471
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: that you know what, because those guys are hurt.

472
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: This is your opportunity to play, and this opportunity to

473
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: make a football team.

474
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: And he's done a nice job quietly, you know, kind

475
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: of under the radar a little bit, you know, right,

476
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: not in a lot of people talking about him, but

477
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: just going out there doing his job. Yeah, in practice,

478
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: in the game, running hard, doing.

479
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Little things that he's supposed to do. And we have

480
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: a guy like that in the football team. You feel good. Now.

481
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: If I don't know if he could play special teams

482
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: or not, but you know what, that would help him,

483
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, have an opportunity to make a football team.

484
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: But when he's in there and running back, he's doing

485
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 2: a nice job.

486
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Now. One final thing we talked about this last week

487
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: and they clearly didn't listen to us. But in the

488
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: preseason there's always things you can clean up. And I

489
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: think one thing that everybody would be agreeing on within

490
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: that coaching staff, and I'm sure in the locker room

491
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: players included was the penalties we had nine against Baltimore

492
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: last week. That was an area that was emphasized by

493
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Shane Steikin. He said they want to clean that up today.

494
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: They had eleven. Now it doesn't touch what green Bay had.

495
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: It seemed like they had a penalty, especially that number

496
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: seventy one. This is a rough day for him. In

497
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: the first half of the he had five first half penalties.

498
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: So green Bay they were a lot more penalized in

499
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the Colts today, but still eleven penalties out of the Colt.

500
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: You just cannot have that if you want to win

501
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: football games.

502
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very tough to win football games when you

503
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: have all those type of penalties, and that's something they're

504
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: gonna have to clean up.

505
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 2: I know they had one uh it bordering ineligible.

506
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: Man down stuff like that, and ned a big play, gated.

507
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 2: A big play. I think you had a d Mitchell

508
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 2: and holding penalty.

509
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: Those are the penalties that are going to hurt your

510
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: team as far as trying to win football games.

511
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: It's very tough to win football games without.

512
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: Penalties, yes, but then when you get those penalties and

513
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: put you put yourself behind the eight ball, makes it

514
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 3: even more difficult to win football games. So that's something

515
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to clean up. And you know, last

516
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: year they were a team that was one of the

517
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: least penaltied teams in the National Football League this year

518
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: hasn't been so now is that because some of the

519
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: young guys or it is because it's familiarity to yeah,

520
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: And is this getting back started again. I don't know,

521
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: but it's something that they're gonna have to clean up.

522
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: You don't want to have penalties going into the regular season.

523
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: You want to make sure you play clean football, so

524
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: you don't have those penalties that put you behind the

525
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: eight ball, especially put you off cadence in regardless to

526
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: first second down. You know, if you get second down

527
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: and the second and ten and you get seven yards

528
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: in that play in thirty and three, well you're on schedule. Yeah,

529
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: but then if you get a penalty, that makes it worse.

530
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: Right now you're behind schedule. So you don't want to

531
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: do those things to hurt your offense out there in

532
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: the football field. So hopefully that's something they can clean

533
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 3: up in the next couple of weeks, especially going into

534
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 3: the final preseason game and then getting ready for that

535
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: first regular season.

536
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: So so last thing I have with you, Bill, and

537
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: this is just you know, former player understanding the importance

538

543
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,440

00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: the hardest.

563
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: Then let the chips fall.
