We recorded this last week my interview with Daniel, 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: so most of it is still relevant. Nothing changed over 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend other than he went to the Carmel 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: Westfield game and played some golf. But this is a 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: really interesting interview.

You know, that's 109 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: that's what you want to do. I think you know, 110 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: you're excited, and then you realize there's there's work to 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: do and and you know it's it's real, it's time 112 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: to go. So I think everyone kind of you know, 113 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: when you're in training camp and and certainly the position 114 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: I was in, but but all you know, every player, 115 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: you're you're so focused on training camp and the what's 116 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: right in front of you that day and making sure 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: you know, training camps are grind, so you know, kind 118 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 2: of focusing on what's what's immediately ahead of you. But 119 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: as you finish up training camp, you start, you know, 120 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: the seasons here. Now it's time to play play real football, 121 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: play real games, and and that becomes what you're thinking about. 122 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: So I was excited, but pretty soon you're you're into 123 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: into uh game game mode, getting ready to get a plan. 124 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: What kind of quarterback do you want to be for 125 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: this team? Uh? 126 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: Consistent I think, uh, consistent, good decision maker, you know, 127 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: spread the ball around. 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we. 129 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: Have a a you know, opportunity on offense. I think 130 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: to be very versatile to attack defenses in a lot 131 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: of different ways. You know. Obviously the run game with 132 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: with j T and the guys up front has been 133 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: a strength, and the guys outside can can make a 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: lot of plays uh down the field. I think being 135 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: an explosive group who pushes the ball, attack attacks defenses. 136 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: And I think that's that's something that I see for us. 137 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: And you know, as a quarterback, I think, you know, 138 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: decision makeing in accuracy or you know, the two biggest 139 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: things when when it comes to good quarterback plays. So 140 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: that's certainly what I what I want to be. 141 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: You're talking about, you know, pushing the ball down field, 142 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: and this offense can be explosive in New York for 143 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, whatever reason that wasn't a huge part of 144 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: your game pushing the ball downfield. What about this offense 145 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: do you think allows for those opportunities to exist? 146 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, obviously I've heard that and allow of 147 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: people want to bring that up. It seems like, you know, 148 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: over and over again, but you know, I think every 149 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: situation is different, Every offense is different, you know, kind 150 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: of the plan, the strategy, the players, all of it, 151 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: all of it's different. And you know, I feel like 152 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: at times in my career earlier or throughout, I have 153 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: thrown the ball well down the field and pushed it 154 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: down the field well, So I think, you know, that's 155 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: part of playing quarterback is when those opportunities are there, 156 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: taking advantage of them, you know, obviously making the vision 157 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: and then and then making the play. I think is 158 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: is that? So you know, I'm certainly ready to do that. 159 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: I feel like we've done that well throughout training camp. 160 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: We've got the players here to do it, So I'm 161 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: excited for that. 162 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: What what about running with Jonathan Taylor? Like when when 163 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Shane calls for designed runs? What about having him next 164 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: to you in the backfield? You obviously had Saquon in 165 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: New York extremely talented back as well. What about running 166 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: next to JT? You know, if it's his own read 167 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: and pulling it and taking it, Like, how does that 168 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: help you out as a runner? Because you're I've looked 169 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: it up. Your averaging, you know, your avage yards procuring 170 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: your career is pretty high. Like, how does that help 171 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: you out? 172 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think first, let the professional runner 173 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: be the runner first, and kind of when you can 174 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: compliment it, and when there's an opportunity, you know, take it, 175 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: but understand who who gets paid to run the ball, 176 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: and that's that's uh JT. So you know, I think, 177 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: you know, I've always felt like I can add to 178 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: the offense with my legs and and you know, when 179 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: those opportunities are there, try to take advantage of them. 180 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: But you know, I think understanding who who is the 181 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: runner and who we want to do that, you know, 182 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: is a big part of that. That's that's obviously JT 183 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: and what he does really well and part of what 184 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: I think is going to make this offense, you know, 185 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: so dangerous. 186 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: What have you learned about Shane Steiken over the what 187 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: is it now, five six months? You've you've had a 188 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: working relationship with him. 189 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been fun working with with coach 190 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: Stike and I think, you know, I think he you know, 191 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: just how aggressive he is and he wants to wants 192 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: to take shots, wants to keep the defense on their heels, 193 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: wants to keep an attacking mindset. And what we're doing 194 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: and I think as a quarterback, that's what you want, 195 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: is those opportunities to uh to do that and and 196 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 2: to create uh, some of those plays. I think he's 197 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: he's very creative and how he you know, how he 198 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: thinks of getting certain players a ball and situations you know, 199 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: how he sees, how he sees our offense and kind 200 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: of different things he can get to uh pretty quickly. 201 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: And and yeah, it's been fun, fun working with him. 202 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: I think he's just extremely you know, practical and realistic 203 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: in terms of, you know, it's not always got to 204 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: be some crazy, you know, super exotic idea like a 205 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 2: lot of it's pretty straightforward, practical things that come from 206 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: a lot of you know, a lot of similar looks. 207 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: You can do a lot of different things you know, 208 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: from them, and that keeps you know, defens is guessing. 209 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: I heard someone describe him somewhere as like he doesn't 210 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: want to be the smartest guy in the room. He'll 211 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: just say, whatever is the simplest way for us to 212 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: get to these plays, to get to you know, efficiency 213 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: explosives like he's going to do it. You kind of 214 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: just described it there. But like as a quarterback, when 215 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: you have a coach who comes in and it's just hey, 216 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: let's find what works within this game plan and not 217 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: over complicated. It is that empowering for you? Like, what's 218 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: where do you take away from that as a quarterback? 219 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean I'd say there's a lot of 220 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: genius in that simplicity, right, Like I think guys who 221 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: can take you know, more complex things, make them simple, 222 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: make them kind of in a football sense, come from 223 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: a straightforward, you know, idea, but make it tough for 224 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: a defense to defend it. That's I think what a 225 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: lot of the best coaches do, and I think he 226 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: does that, does that well. But as a quarterback, Yeah, 227 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: that's that's a fun type of type of philosophy to 228 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: kind of play play behind and and try to understand 229 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: and execute on the field. 230 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: It's not gonna pit on a podcast recently about Face 231 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: and Lude's defense, win Remo's defense in practice, and he said, 232 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: like that first week, He's like, I'd look at the 233 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: pre snap, you know, I'd go through my pre snap 234 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: reads and then they would shift to something, but it 235 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: only be one half the field, but shift to it 236 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: the other half. To be playing this, He's like, I 237 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: would just be running a route into something that I 238 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: just I couldn't even tell what it was early on. 239 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: How did that facing that kind of a defense that 240 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: is kind of shape shifting, how did that challenge you 241 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: throughout training camp too, or what did that challenge you 242 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: with throughout training camp? Maybe? 243 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yeah, I remember in the spring seeing 244 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: a lot of those looks for the first time and 245 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: you're not exactly sure. You know, it feels like they're 246 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: matching part of the side, and then there's a zone 247 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: element to it, and there's a safety somewhere you didn't 248 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: expect the safety. You know, all those kind of things 249 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: I think are different with with Lose defense, and he's 250 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: got a lot of different looks and you know it's 251 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: very multiple and and what he can do from a 252 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: coverage standpoint, and then the pressure stuff too, I think 253 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 2: was a lot of it was a lot of good 254 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 2: work for us, you know, up front with with our 255 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 2: protection system, you know, ID in that and getting blitz 256 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: is picked up, which our offensive line and and uh, 257 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: you know, Tony Tony Sperano do a great job dialing 258 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 2: all that stuff in. But I think, yeah, I think 259 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: just for for an offense to practice against a defense 260 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: who doesn't you know, fully major in you know some 261 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 2: crazy pressures, or doesn't fully major in you know some 262 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: different coverages. Kind of a defense that can do everything 263 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: and has a lot of different looks. I think was 264 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: really really helpful for us and you you kind of 265 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: go through the process of fixing problems, of talking through 266 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: certain looks, and kind of all that communication you practice 267 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: in training camp, I think goes a long way during 268 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 2: the season. 269 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: You've been in the league now for seven years.

I guess of 341 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: your your other teammates. 342 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think, for one, just having having 343 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: relationships with with every you know, everyone on the team 344 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: and being able to have the one on one conversations, 345 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: whether it's after a play on the field or after 346 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: you've watched film, you know, in a meeting or whatever 347 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: it is. I think just just understanding you know, how 348 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: to communicate with everybody based on a relationship you've already created. 349 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: But you know, I think, uh, in a lot of 350 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: those situations, it's it's you know, coming to an understanding, 351 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: you know, trying to understand what what the receiver or 352 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: whoever it is, what they're seeing and what they're sensing, 353 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: and and then you know what you expect and what 354 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: you what you want to see. But I think you know, 355 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: depending on the situation and maybe the the player or 356 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: whatever it is, I think you're you know, there's there's 357 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: back and forth, and there's a decision though, and there's 358 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: this is how it's going to be, and this is 359 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: what we're gonna what we're gonna do going forward. So 360 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: I think that's just a constant process that kind of 361 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: starts with a good relationship. 362 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: All Right, we're kind of building to this, but I 363 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: want to play some rapid fire with you. Just the 364 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: first word that comes in your mind when I throw 365 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: a couple of teammates names out there. Okay, so let's 366 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: starr with Jonathan Taylor. 367 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: Explosive. 368 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious way say that. I think everyone watching 369 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: this or listening to this and know that, all right, 370 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Jr. Reliable, Josh Downs. 371 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: Smart, great, great instincts. 372 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce explosive.

But I mean, I think just that 376 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: that feel and instinct for space getting open. I think 377 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: throughout camp it's just been like he's he's made the play, 378 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: you know, when the play's there, he's made to play. 379 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: All right. One one more for skill guys, but added I. 380 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: Mitchell just extremely talented.

I think that's what really drives that group. 411 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: Was there a moment where, like, I mean, you probably 412 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: knew coming into this place that like, hey, Quentin Nelson's 413 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: a great player, But was there a moment that stock 414 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: out to you.

Who obviously he's 452 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: a great cover guy, extremely talented physically, but just really 453 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: smart and and kind of once he sees something a 454 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: couple of times, he's gonna recognize it pretty quickly, and 455 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to be quicker.

Daniel Jones is gonna 502 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: be way better than everyone thinks. And our defense is 503 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: sorely underrated. We're number twenty nine in the Power rankings. 504 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: We're the most underrated team in the NFL. No one 505 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: thinks they're gonna make the playoffs. Go get them, guys, 506 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Go Colts. This one's for Jim, so it's not really 507 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: a question right and it's very positive statement here, But 508 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: I want to go I want to just talk about 509 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: like power rankings right now. This is this is the 510 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: opening for me to talk about power rankings because NFL 511 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: dot Com is a Colts twenty eighth, CBS is the 512 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: Colts twenty six, Yahoo twenty fifth, SI and Pro Football 513 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: Talk twenty third, and ESPN is the Colts twentieth. That 514 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: one from ESPN is as high as I found the 515 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: Colts in any power ranking, and like it's not unfair. 516 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: I get it, like the Colts are going into the 517 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: season with uncertainty as to how their quarterback play is 518 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: going to be. Like at least if you're looking at 519 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: this from the outside and you're like, well, I saw 520 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: a Daniel Jones did with the New York Giants and 521 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is not playing, what is this all going 522 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: to look like? The thing that I just want to 523 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: go back to is preseason power rankings. If you're mad 524 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: about them, just consider this. Last year ESPN had the 525 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders twenty eighth, Denver Broncos thirty first. Both those 526 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: teams made the playoffs. NFL had the Broncos twenty seventh, 527 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: the Commander's twenty sixth, the Vikings twenty third, and the 528 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: Buccaneers twentieth. All those teams made the playoffs. All those 529 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: teams are ranked in that same range that we're seeing 530 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: the Colts ranked right now. It's not unprecedented for a 531 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: team to be like, you know, people to like nationally 532 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: be like, well, what what's this Colts team going to 533 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: look like? What does success look like for this team? 534 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, and say, yeah, rank them in the 535 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: twenties or you know, maybe even the thirties, and then 536 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: that team goes and makes the playoffs. Conversely, there's always 537 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: that one team that's in like the top ten or 538 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: top twelve that completely falls in its face. Last year 539 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: that was Cleveland Browns. The Cincinnati Bengals also did not 540 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They were both pretty highly ranked last year. 541 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: So look the Colts. I'm not saying it's unfair that 542 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: the Colts are ranked where they are in terms of 543 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: the power rankings. I do think the thing that only 544 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: I saw Mike Clay from ESPN point out. Mike Clay 545 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: wrote about the twenty twenty five Colts in ranking them 546 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: twentieth quote quarterback aside, the Colts arguably have a top 547 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: ten roster. The defense looks pretty good, cornerback Tarvarius Ward 548 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: in safety cam buying them we're much needed upgrades in 549 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: the secondary, and the offense includes several difference makers like 550 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: running back Jonathan Taylor, wide receiver Michael Piman, junior guard 551 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson, tackle Braanden Smith in first round rookie Tyler Warren. 552 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: If new starting quarterback Daniel Jones can give the team 553 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: somewhat competent play, the Colts might surprise the league. That 554 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: I think is fair to be like, if the Colts 555 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: can get good quarterback play, they might be a surprise 556 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: team and they might climb out of the twenties. But 557 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: I also understand why nationally people are are wondering if 558 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: they're gonna get competent quarterback play because there have been 559 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: questions about what Daniel Jones did in New York and 560 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: what Anthony Richardson Senior has done with the Colts. Like 561 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: we've I've talked about a ton and we'll see finally 562 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday how this plays out. I think the circumstances 563 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: in Idiot are just better than Daniel Jones had in 564 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: New York, and that matters a lot. All right, let's 565 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: go and talk about the game. I'm so excited to 566 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: do this on the podcast every week to kind of 567 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: get a little bit of a primer of what I've 568 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: been looking at going into each game, like full breakdowns 569 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: of Colts and Dolphins, like Rick Venturry does an awesome 570 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: job of those on Inside Football at Rick Ventury. We 571 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: got Jack Doyle here in the podcast network now, like 572 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: Jack and Rick, Like, who am I to talk about this? 573 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: Except I do look at a lot of stuff, So 574 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: just trust me. I'm going somewhere with this because I 575 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about the Colts defense against the Dolphins 576 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: offense going into this game. I know we spent a 577 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: lot of time thinking about what the Colts offense is 578 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: going to look like. To me, the matchup that I 579 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: am fascinated by is lou Anarrumo in his first game 580 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: as Colt's defensive coordinator against a Miami offense that last year, 581 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: if you remember, they came into Lucas Oil Stadium, they 582 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: looked awful and they were they were without Tua last year. 583 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: They were one of the worst offenses in the NFL, 584 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: if not the worst offense in the NFL last year 585 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: without Tua, which was I think it was six games 586 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: without tow a tongue of iloa. The Miami Dolphins are 587 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: last in EPA per play. They were last in success rate. 588 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: They were thirty first in the percentage of drives that 589 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: ended in a touchdown, ahead of only the Cleveland Browns. 590 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: They were last in drives in a percentage of drives 591 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: that ended in a touchdown, nine point one percent of 592 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: their drives without two a tongue of bailoa ended in 593 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: the end zone. That is abysmal. And they were last 594 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: in third down conversion rate. They converted twenty five percent 595 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: of their third downs. The next lowest team last season 596 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: was the Browns at thirty one percent. So let's talk 597 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: about the Miami Dolphins with Tua because he's gonna play 598 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: to a tongue of Iloa. Is healthy, Tyreek Hill is 599 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: still there, Jyalen Waddle is still there, Devon a Chan 600 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: is still there, and of course Mike McDaniel, their head coach, 601 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: is still there. So last year, when to A played, 602 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins would have been over the course of 603 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: the full season, so I was looking at games in 604 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: which two A played versus the rest of the league. 605 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: They were a fourth and success rate, ninth and third 606 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: down conversion rate fourth and scoring drive rate, behind only 607 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: the Lions, Commanders, and Bills. They the lowest pressure rate 608 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: allowed in the NFL. That shocked me because I just 609 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: I look at the Miami and I'm like, I got 610 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: questions about their offensive line. They lost Tron Armstead. What's 611 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: that going to look like? They had to trade up 612 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: to get Jonah seven A in the second round. They 613 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: had the lowest pressure rate allowed in the NFL on 614 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: to his dropbacks, it was like twenty three percent. Where 615 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: their offense came from? Here was it wasn't like they 616 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: were like chuckin' and duck into Tyreek Hill. They were 617 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: last in the NFL in the percentage of passes that 618 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: traveled twenty more yards beyond the line of scrimmage. So 619 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: this was a and they weren't even all that explosive 620 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: their eighteenth and explosive pass percentage. This was a get 621 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: the ball to Hill and Waddle and let them go 622 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: make plays. How does this impact what the Colts are 623 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: going to do on Sunday. What we've learned about lou 624 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: Narumo is he's gonna mix up stuff. He's gonna try 625 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: to lock down your number one receiver and take him away. Obviously, 626 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: it's easier said than done against Miami when you've got 627 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: Hill and Waddle, who by the way, last year, you 628 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: know their numbers were down over the course of a season, 629 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: but in those eleven games with Tua, they had one 630 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: hundred and one receptions for about thirteen hundred yards, with 631 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns thirty six explosive plays. So they're still good 632 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: like that, It's still there for them. I know when 633 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: the Colts faced Miami last year, Hill and Waddle did 634 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: like nothing. I think they might have three combined catches. 635 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: What I want to see out of this Colts defense 636 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: number one, though, beyond any sort of scheme that leuon 637 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: Arumo's gonna play. Tackling. That was a big issue for 638 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: the Colts last year, right where they had a lot 639 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: of games with mistackles that led to explosive plays against 640 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. You got to tackle. You gotta get 641 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill to the ground, you gotta get Jell and 642 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: Waddle of the ground. You got to get devon a 643 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: chan to the ground. Those are three players who if 644 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: you miss a tackle, they all have the requisite speed 645 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: to make to turn a six yard gain into a 646 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: sixty yard game. So the Colts from just a twenty 647 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty twenty five, all the scheme stuff aside, 648 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: can they tackle in this game? That's going to be 649 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: a huge emphasis of something I'm going to be watching. 650 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: And then it's you know what is I'm looking at 651 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Trevarius Ward? Does he travel with Tyreek Hill? Miami does 652 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: a ton of stuff with motion to make sure. That's 653 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: not easy to do. In fact, I when I looked 654 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: it up, I think there have only been fourteen snaps 655 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: in which Trevarious Ward has covered Tyreek Kill in his career. 656 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was targeting all those I think 657 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: a lot of them he wasn't even targeted. So how 658 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: does this defense play in the back end with cam 659 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: Byham back there. That's going to be really interesting. If 660 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: you can keep a lid on this Miami passing offense. 661 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: They were not all that good at running the ball 662 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: last year. Shut down the run, keep a lid on 663 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: Miami's offense, make them go down the field. March down 664 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: the field. They can still do it, because this is 665 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: again a very good offense when two A tongue I 666 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: loo is back there. But can you just make them 667 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: kind of have extended drives and avoid those explosive plays 668 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: that we have seen this Miami offense make over and 669 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: over and over again. It's gonna come down to tackling 670 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: and it's gonna come down to discipline on that side 671 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: of the ball. Real quick Colts offense versus the Dolphins defense. 672 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: This Miami defense is good. Anthony Weaver is a really 673 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: good defensive coordinator they got in Miami. Last year. They 674 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: were tenth in points per game, ninth and yards per play, 675 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: six on third down, fourth in the red zone, and 676 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: second in goal to go. They blitz a ton. They 677 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: the fifth highest blitz rate in the NFL last year. 678 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 1: They don't get a ton of sacks, or at least they 679 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: didn't last year, but they're gonna send pressures. They're gonna 680 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: try to confuse you. They're gonna send sim pressures and 681 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be up to Daniel Jones to be able 682 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: to navigate all that. Hopefully, obviously, you could establish the 683 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: run in this game with Jonathan Taylor. But Daniel Jones 684 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: is going to have to make a couple of plays 685 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: against confusing blitz looks in this game. That are going 686 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: to be the key, I think for the Colts to 687 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: come out with their first win in week one since 688 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen.
