Or Zone 24 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: and man That's what I'm talking about. We have him here. 25 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk with that and why he loves Anthony 26 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: Richardson so much. He's been chirping about him for months. Also, 27 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: we're gonna talk to cornerback Darius Rush, the Ruth Carolina, 28 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: who's got a chance to get some playing time this year. 29 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 3: I talk about that. He's another athletic for big cornerbacks 30 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 3: in the room. Now looks like a basketball team mate. 31 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: Last weekend, the Colts drafted twelve players. It's the biggest 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 3: draft class since the league went to a seven round 33 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: draft in ninety four, and the most since the Colts 34 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: had thirteen in the twelve round process in nineteen ninety two. 35 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: How about that? Twelve rounds? Could you do that? No? 36 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a tireless weekend for you, brother, No way, 37 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: twelve rounds? 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: Could you imagine? That was only back in ninety two? 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: All right? 40 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, he is headlining the class that Chris Bellard 41 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: leaned heavily into. As far as physical traits and potential, 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: this draft class has it while still addressing some team needs. 43 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: May te impactful players guys in this recent draft that 44 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: can come in make an impact, get on the play 45 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: and field and make their presence felt. 46 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: How many you. 47 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: Got, man, it's obviously time's gonna tell. I mean this 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 4: time next year, I think we'll have a pretty good idea. 49 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 4: But I think I think the top three players in 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: this draft class can all contribute in a big way. 51 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: I mean, that's my gut feeling, my early inclination on things. 52 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, the big question is whether or not 53 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson will start the season at quarterback. We got 54 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: a long way to go for that, but I do 55 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: think you're gonna see him on the field at some 56 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: point as the starting quarterback for this team in twenty 57 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 4: twenty three. I do think Julius Brentz, the second round pick, 58 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: the cornerback out of Warren Central High School in Kansas State, 59 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 4: He's gonna be in a good position to start now. 60 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 4: He's battling a wrist injury that he's rehabbing from. He's 61 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: gonna be competing with Darius Rush, who you talked about 62 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 4: a cornerback early on. Colts drafted him in the fifth round. 63 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 4: He's got some really good upside. Both guys are really big, tall, 64 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: long cornerbacks who the Colts are prioritizing then Josh Down's 65 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 4: wide receiver as well. So the Colts I think a 66 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: draft areas of need right off the bat at the 67 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 4: top of the draft, quarterback, cornerback, and then wide receiver. 68 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: Those were their big areas of need roster wise going 69 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: into this draft. But I think the Colts are gonna 70 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 4: be surprised. There's twelve draft picks. I don't know if 71 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: all of them make the roster at the end of 72 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: training camp, but I do think you're gonna be surprised 73 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: with how many contribute right away and how many long 74 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: term pieces of the Colts were able to pick up 75 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: last weekend. 76 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: I could have seen Ballad taking two cornerbacks through seven 77 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: seven picks. I mean I could have. But I'm asking 78 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: you that are you surprised at all that we got 79 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: three total? And I know the hall was big obviously 80 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: with twelve picks. 81 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: Not really because it was that big of a need 82 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: going into the draft. You've lost Brandon Facin, Stefan Gilmour, 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: and traded in the offseason. Plus if you look at it, 84 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: I mean Isaiah Rodgers hasn't been a full time starter 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: yet a consistent full time starter Dallas Flowers played some 86 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: on defense last year, but not a ton as a rookie. 87 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 4: Kenny Moore and Rogers are gonna be free agents this 88 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: time next offseason, so I thought it made sense for 89 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: the Colts to address that position as often as they 90 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: did considering where they're at with that group on the roster. 91 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: And quite frankly, the Colts last year, Jeffrey, they gave 92 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: up sixty eight percent completion percentage from their corners last season, 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 4: which was thirty first in the NFL. So a shakeup 94 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: is not necessarily a bad thing when you bring in 95 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: some top end talent to play the cornerback position. So 96 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: all the corners, as I said, big, all over, six 97 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: foot two, Julius Brince, Darius Rush, Jalen Jones who they 98 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: drafted in the seventh round, Big, long, fast, and tough 99 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 4: guys to throw over when you're talking about pressman de 100 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: man and when you're talking about tight windows down the field. 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: As Matt Taylor voice the Colts follow him on Twitter 102 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: at may take Colts. Okay, we're gonna have some competition 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: in that defensive backfield room. But may Tay, what do 104 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: you think, position group wise the way it is? And 105 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: I know it's early and this will probably change by 106 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: the time we get to camp. But right now, what's 107 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: the most competitive position group where we're gonna see a 108 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: lot of action on who plays come twenty three? 109 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: Question, it's got to be tight end, don't you think? 110 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: Sure? There's a lot of guys in that road. 111 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 4: I mean, I think, without question this this room is 112 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 4: huge now, moo Aley Cox, Jolannie Woods, Kylon Granson, Will Mallory, 113 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 4: Drew Ogletree, don't forget about him coming off that torn 114 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: acl Farrell Brown, who the Colts picked up in free 115 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 4: agency a few weeks back. So, I mean, how many 116 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 4: how many tight ends can you keep? 117 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: Four? Gotta find guys? 118 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, got I mean those are athletic freaks. When you're 119 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: talking about Johnny Woods and Ogle. True, those guys are 120 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: tight end slash wide receiver type guys, but they could 121 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: also block. I'm not saying I can. We got a 122 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 3: guy like Farrell Brown. He's a road grader. I mean 123 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: he's an extra extra offensive tackle sometimes. 124 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 4: And I think Malory's kind of in line or in 125 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 4: the same mold as a Kylon Grandson, guy who's good 126 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 4: in the ground game and the passing game. Six ' 127 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: five two forty five last year led Miami and receiving 128 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: among all pass catchers wide receivers included. His career reception 129 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: and yardage total were the second most by a tight 130 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 4: end in program history. So bottom line, man some but 131 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 4: he's not making this team. Somebody have noted the tight 132 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 4: end position is not making this team. I mean, think 133 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: about how good Drew Ogletree looked last year's A camp 134 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: before his injury. So if he comes back post surgery, 135 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 4: he could really complicate in a good way the Colt's 136 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: depth and the talent they have of that tight end position, 137 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: and with the running game of Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor, 138 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 4: tight end is going to be a huge focal point 139 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 4: next year in the offense, in the ground game, and 140 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: then obviously what those guys can do through the air. 141 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: More athletes everywhere I love it, especially in that tight 142 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: end room. May take this weekend a different one. Those 143 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 3: draft choices are going to be in the building for 144 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: a rookie mini camp as well as some other invitees 145 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: that have a chance to be invited to camp on 146 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: this and the Colts also went through some cuts earlier 147 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: in the last couple of days. 148 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: To make room for all those undrafted free area, right 149 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: that are coming in. 150 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: This is Shane Steichen's first go at this thing as 151 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: far as being a head coach. Okay, what's the biggest takeaway? 152 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: What are his biggest goals for this short weekend where 153 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: he literally is looking eye to eye with the rookie 154 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: drafted class and the undraft Well. 155 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 4: I mean, certainly, I mean the headliner is Anthony Richardson. 156 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: You know, where is he at in terms of initially 157 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 4: being able to process and execute on the field. I 158 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: don't think you're gonna have any problem with him being coachable, 159 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: but it's see where he's at in terms of being 160 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: able to process information and being able to bounce back 161 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: from mistakes because it's gonna be hard. There's gonna be 162 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: mistakes made by Anthony Richardson, Right, he only played in 163 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: those thirteen games in college. In fact, Jeffrey, I know 164 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: we've talked about this off the air, but before this 165 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: last draft class, there's been thirty quarterbacks drafted in the 166 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: first round in the last ten years. Okay, so of 167 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: those thirty, ten of them played right away, played right 168 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: away week one. Their combined record in their first year 169 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: was forty six ninety one in two and only one 170 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: of them made the playoffs. So obviously there's gonna be ups, 171 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: there's gonna be downs for Richardson right away.

No pressure, by the way, 236 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: coach man take it. That's it. We looked at you. 237 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 6: I'll take it. 238 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: Hey. 239 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: I want to start off early. Anthony Richardson taking fourth overall, 240 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: the campaign started for him months and months ago. That 241 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: everybody has loved this kid in his talent, but you, 242 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 3: dan Orlowsky, have talked about him several times, more than 243 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: a several times on your show and social media as well. 244 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: You know, he is a unique, unique. 245 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: Quarterback prospect and showing skills and vital signs that have 246 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 3: not been seen before in the NFL. You know, seven 247 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: and six overall, they're the completion percentages down playing at 248 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 3: a big time program like that. Why should all that 249 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 3: be overlooked and know that this is a can't miss 250 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: product coming out of Florida and Anthony Richardson, Yeah, because there's. 251 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 6: Never been a player that is athletically or physically talented 252 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 6: at the quarterback spot by Anthony and we are in 253 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 6: an era where that probably matters as much as your 254 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 6: traditional thinking of quarterback play with how smart you are 255 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 6: or how well you see it coverage or how accurate 256 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 6: you are type of thing. So for me, it goes back. 257 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 6: I called Anthony first game in college football really three 258 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 6: seasons ago, two seasons ago for Florida, and I remember 259 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 6: in the game watching him make a couple of throws 260 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 6: and then he runs off sixty seventy yard touchdown run. 261 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 6: And I was doing the broadcast and I went to 262 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 6: my partner being like, why is this kid not starting? 263 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 6: Because that was a time where Dan Mullen, who was 264 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 6: the head coach, was starting Emery Jones. And you know, 265 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 6: the transfer portal has made that stuff so unique, and 266 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 6: so in that moment, that was sitting there going this 267 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 6: is exactly what quarterback spot in the NFL looks like 268 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 6: right now. The great Ones back the last season, first 269 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 6: game of the year against Utah. I call that game 270 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 6: and he's spectacular me in the game, just absolutely lights out. 271 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 6: After that game, I want to Paull fine Baum Show 272 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 6: and I said, if he doesn't play another down, he's 273 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 6: a top ten pick. He's that talented. And the more 274 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 6: you heard about Anthony as a person. You heard great work, ethic, 275 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 6: really smart can good leadership. That's only going to get 276 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 6: better the morning matures. And I think when you look 277 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 6: at the physical talent that he has, the natural loose 278 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 6: upper body that he has as a thrower, combined with 279 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 6: some of the intangibles, it's really hard to figure out 280 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 6: how and or why he'll fail. And listen, I'll talk 281 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 6: about Florida a little bit as well so people get context. 282 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 6: Fifty three percent complete completion percentage. One hundred and six 283 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 6: teams in college football caught the ball better than Florida 284 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 6: last year. Drops are all over their tape. Now the 285 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 6: one pushback people say this, Dan, you could say that 286 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 6: about every quarterback. Now, you can't go watch Ohio State. 287 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 6: They don't drop the ball, you know, go watch Oklahoma, 288 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 6: go watch USC they don't. 289 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 5: Drop the ball. 290 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 6: So I am nineteen throwaways because people couldn't get open. 291 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 6: I would challenge people to find me a perimeter player, 292 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 6: a wide receiver, a tight end, or a back that's 293 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 6: going to be an NFL player. Florida last year they 294 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 6: just Floorth's talent was just wasn't good. And so nineteen 295 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 6: throwaways with all those drops and I've said this, if 296 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 6: you take one throwaway a game, and you take one 297 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 6: incompletion a game and you make those completions, it goes 298 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 6: from fifty three to sixty four, and no one's pointing 299 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 6: to the completion percentage anymore. So the variables surrounding him 300 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 6: had major impact on his the results of the performance. 301 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: Dan. 302 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: For you, going along with that, what tells you that 303 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: Richardson's gonna be able to fit with Shane Stike and 304 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: those two are going to be able to kind of 305 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 4: make it work on offense together. 306 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 6: Yeah? I think well, Number one, if you if you 307 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 6: just watched like every single snap of Anthony's and you 308 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 6: just watched him execute the quarterback position, you would say, 309 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 6: can he do things at the line of scrimmage pre snap? 310 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 6: Maybe not as much as like a CJ. Straw, but like, 311 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 6: can you give him information to get in and out 312 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 6: of plays? Yes? And that's something Philly does with some 313 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 6: of their run game concepts. And then there are PO 314 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 6: con so yes. Number two, can he read the RPO 315 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 6: game that has multi levered things like sometimes the RPO 316 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 6: the run pass option is like, hey, if that nickel 317 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 6: defender is inside towards the football like in the box 318 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 6: towards the football and the slot receives a little uncovered 319 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 6: throw a bubble. We got eleven year olds doing that 320 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 6: kind of stuff nowadays. But the layered RPOs or hey, 321 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 6: I want you to read the backside safety and he 322 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 6: spins to the middle of the field when the ball 323 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 6: gets snapped, then I want your eyes to go to 324 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 6: that drop down safety into the boundary and if he 325 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 6: fills real quick, we'll replace it with the slant. If 326 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 6: he hangs, then will hind. There's multiple layers to the RPOs. 327 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 6: So can he operate that? 328 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Yep? 329 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 6: He did that at Florida. And then you watch the 330 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 6: pocket movement, the pocket strength, and the drop back passing 331 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 6: game and you go, all right, how is this kid's 332 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 6: pocket feel and movement? What do his eyes do when 333 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 6: he has to move? Well, he does that, so you 334 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 6: feel good about the dropback game. And again I think 335 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 6: he's plenty accurate given some of the throws or most 336 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 6: of the throws he made last year. And if you 337 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 6: watch that's what Shane did with Jalen, the use of 338 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 6: the quarterback run, the threat of the quarterback run, the 339 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 6: simplification of some of their past concepts. You sit there 340 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 6: and go, Yeah, there's a lot of evidence not only 341 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 6: that he can do this, but we can kind of 342 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 6: build on top of what he did in Philadelphia because 343 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 6: of the runaway speed he has. 344 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: Dan Orlowski from ESPN right there, we're talking Anthony Richardson. 345 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: Do you design run plays for him or is it 346 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: simply when you talk about the RPO, you know, take 347 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 3: what you can get. I'm just talking about like Jalen Hurts. 348 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 3: You you mentioned missing three or four games last year 349 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: during a playoff run. Is that something they have to 350 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 3: keep in mind? You know, if you're Shane Stikeen in 351 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: this offensive unit, do we want to run Anthony Richardson 352 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: a lot? Obviously he is a mismatch, but got to 353 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: keep the quarterback healthy. 354 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 5: Dan, Yeah, you do though. 355 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 6: Because like I've always said this about these quarterbacks that 356 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 6: you can do the quarterback run with to tell them 357 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 6: or to not use, to tell them not to run 358 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 6: with the football or to not use that as far 359 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 6: as your offense is like telling Lebron you can't go 360 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 6: to the rim. It's what makes them great, it's their 361 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 6: superpower and there's always going to be the conversation around 362 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 6: when to do it and how to do it and 363 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 6: how much to do it. You feel great about six 364 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 6: to four and forty pounds. You feel great that he 365 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 6: carried the ball decent amount in the sec. 366 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 5: So I would say eight to. 367 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 6: Ten times a game you're designing a run game play 368 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 6: that can he can be the ball carrier in Sometimes 369 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 6: that is that zone read concept where he's reading a defender, 370 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 6: a defensive end or a linebacker. It doesn't mean he 371 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 6: will be the ball carrier, but it means that you're 372 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 6: okay if he is that ball carry And so yeah, 373 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 6: you gotta be willing to do that stuff. And he's 374 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 6: got to be smart and know when to use his 375 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 6: size and physicality to his strength and when to be smart. 376 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 6: And guys learn that. Josh Allen's going through out in 377 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 6: the NFL right now. So it'll always be a conversation 378 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 6: around players that are used in that way. Josh Allen 379 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 6: Lamar Jalen hurts, but it makes everything about that play 380 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 6: in that offense better. 381 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 4: Dan last one for me, You know, when you talk 382 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 4: about Richardson, now, the million dollar question around here is 383 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: when's he gonna play? What are some things that you 384 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 4: would need to see from Richardson a quarterback in the 385 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: spring and the summertime. In deciding whether or not he's 386 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 4: ready to start early on in the season. 387 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 6: I would make him prove to me that he's not 388 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 6: capable of it. I would make him show me we're 389 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 6: gonna make a mistake with this young man if we 390 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 6: play him if and everyone always uses this phrase like 391 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 6: is he ready? No, of course not. 392 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 5: I mean, it's the freaking NFL. 393 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 6: It's hard, right, But I think does he have a 394 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 6: skill set that allows him to go survive a little 395 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 6: bit early on? Athleticism automatically becomes a check mark for that. 396 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 6: I think the biggest question in all of that is 397 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 6: do you truly believe that he is mentally tough enough 398 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 6: to handle the failure? Because it will happened early on, 399 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 6: maybe it only happens for a month or six weeks, 400 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 6: He will have tough moments. Is he mentally tough enough 401 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 6: to just handle that? And to no one believed this 402 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: is all part of the growing process, the growing pains 403 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 6: of playing that. 404 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 5: Position in the NFL. If you believe that and you've 405 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: got the right people around him to supporting him in 406 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 5: those difficult moments, I think he plays and I think 407 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 5: he plays right away. I wouldn't let six. 408 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 6: Weeks go by in the season before getting him onto 409 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 6: the field. He's got to play and the only way 410 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 6: to get better is getting on the fields and going 411 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 6: through that. And so I would play him. I would 412 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 6: know he's gonna have tough moments and I would just 413 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 6: encourage him. We are going to go through this together, 414 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 6: and we are going to rip this band aid off 415 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 6: and we are trying to go be great. Chris Ballard's 416 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 6: quote is exactly everything. I went for the kid that 417 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 6: I think I could hit the Grand Slam on because 418 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 6: I don't want to see someone else get that at 419 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 6: bad right, Okay, So like if you're gonna hit the 420 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 6: Grand Slam, man, you can't get your tone in the water. 421 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 6: You jump in play them right away. 422 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: Now you sound a lot like Colts owner Jim Ursa. 423 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: Give him the ball. 424 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 3: It's gonna be mistakes, but let him work his way 425 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: through it. That's America's coach. His name is Dan Rowski 426 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 3: from ESPN Live. And the last question for me the 427 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: AFC South, is it a one horse race when it 428 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 3: comes to Jacksonville With the veteran Trevor Lawrence here, Now 429 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: we're looking at potentially Will Levis, Anthony Richardson, and C. J. 430 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: Stroud in the AFC South. 431 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 6: Right now, it is Jacksonville's division, yes, because of the 432 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 6: season that they have and the second year in continuity 433 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 6: and all that that being said, I think India is 434 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 6: intriguing because we don't know what this young man is 435 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 6: going to be. I mean, he might come in and 436 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 6: have a Kim. 437 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 5: Newton's rookie year. 438 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 6: We don't know. Al Pearson Michael Pittman might have breakout 439 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 6: seasons because of the matchups they're gonna have. I think 440 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 6: Houston's gonna be better than people expect as well because 441 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 6: of the talent that they've added. So Tennessee is still 442 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 6: I think Tennessee is very much in transition. 443 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 5: They want to get younger. 444 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 6: So it's Jacksonville's division, But there is a little bit 445 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 6: of like known intrigue with both Houston and. 446 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: Indeed absolutely dan Orlowski from NFL Live can't wait for 447 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 3: the season to start. 448 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 2: Keep up the great work. 449 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: We watch you day in and day out, and like 450 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 3: I said, you are now officially titled America's coach. 451 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: We love it. 452 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 6: Thanks.

Yes he did. 457 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: He's all over and fascinating and fascinating breakdown from Dan. 458 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 4: I mean love there towards the end when he's talking 459 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 4: about what he would need to see from Richardson in 460 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: order to play love it. I mean he was honest, 461 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 4: kind of talked about what we talked about the beginning, 462 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: like it's gonna be hard. Is the NFL ready Probably 463 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: not right. He's played thirteen games in college football, but 464 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: he's got so much upside and he can do so 465 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 4: many things that most quarterbacks can't with his athleticism. The 466 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 4: culture gonna try to put him into as many winning 467 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 4: situations as possible from a scheme standpoint, from a coaching standpoint, 468 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 4: and make it easy on him in terms of being 469 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 4: able to play fast, think quickly, make good decisions. But 470 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 4: ultimately it's used what got you here, and that's his 471 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 4: athleticism and that's his right arm. 472 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 3: I love what he said, Hey, don't forget about the 473 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 3: drops from the roster of the University of Florida, and 474 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I'm serious. He gets one more 475 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: completion of game, he's over sixty percent and then we're 476 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: not talking about that exactly.

That's 599 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 7: why they drafted us, and we're just here to win 600 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 7: some games. 601 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: There is Chris Pollard went after athletes, freak athletes like yourself. 602 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 3: You're a big cornerback, a six to two guy, long reach, 603 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: played wide receiver coming out of high school, play wide 604 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: receiver at college, and. 605 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 2: They switched you over. Are your best days of ahead 606 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: of you as a defensive. 607 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 7: Back most definitely. I'll say prior to these past like 608 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 7: a couple of years in college, I mean two years 609 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 7: of production. But it was great production. So I just 610 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 7: feel as though my ceilings still high and it's a 611 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 7: lot of production to still go. 612 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 8: Now with that transition from wide receiver to corner, how 613 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 8: much does that benefit you? Kind of being able to 614 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 8: see it from both sides. 615 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: Of the ball. 616 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 7: It benefits a lot, especially being at receiver. You know 617 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 7: you want to as a receiver, you want to get open, 618 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 7: you know, so you based that off your splits maybe, 619 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 7: or based off your release. So to identify those and 620 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 7: understand what can possibly come next and anticipate what's coming next, 621 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 7: it keeps me a little bit ahead of the game. 622 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: Still. 623 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 7: So you know that your rout tree, you only got 624 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 7: outside routes outside releases and inside route inside releases. So 625 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 7: based off those kind of releases and the different concepts 626 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 7: that come with it, you can kind of anticipate and 627 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 7: be able to make plays on the ball. 628 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 8: Now you're drafted here with the Colts. We can't really 629 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 8: talk about this draft without mentioning the guy they took 630 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 8: fourth overall. With Anthony Richardson. Now you played against him 631 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 8: last year, How beneficial is it to kind of know 632 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 8: that but also know that you won't have to go 633 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 8: up against him on Sundays? 634 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 7: Definitely, because I know I'm going against a guy who 635 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 7: loves football and loves to compete. Playing against him and 636 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 7: knowing what kind of quarterback he is, I mean, the coach, 637 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 7: we got a great one. So the play against him 638 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 7: was a great opportunity to see what kind of person 639 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 7: he is and just going through this whole process learning 640 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 7: the kind of person is.
