Speaker 1: We're talking Colts and recapping the action.

7
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,960

Speaker 2: get to the best ones throughout the course of the

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: next hour. But let's start off with what went wrong

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: for the Colts in Pittsburgh, a place they've now still

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: only won once since they moved to town in nineteen

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: eighty four. The Colts fell twenty seven to twenty in

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: a game that was marred by mistakes and turnovers. For

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: the Colts. The Colts actually got off to a typical

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: fast start on Sunday. They forced the Steelers three and

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: out on the opening possession of the game, and then

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: the Colts march down the field and capped off a

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: thirteen play seventy nine yard drive with a one yard

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: quarterback keeper by Daniel Jones to lead early seven to zero.

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: But the mistakes began to pile up after that, starting

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: with a muffed punt by Josh Downs that was recovered

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: by the Steelers deep in Colts territory. The Colts wouldn't

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: give up any points on the ensuing Steeler drive and

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: would lead seven to nothing going into the second quarter,

49
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: and after the Colts converted a fake punt into a

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: first down, TJ. Watt put his stamp on the game.

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: The Steelers all time leader in sacks came screaming off

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: the right edge and knocked the ball out of Daniel

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Jones's hands, and Watt recovered the ball as well, and

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: it was the biggest turning point in the game. On

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: the second play of the Colts ensuing possession, Peyton Wilson

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: stepped in front of a Daniel Jones pass and intercepted

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: it and returned it twenty six yards down to the

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: fourteen yard line. Two plays later, Aaron Rodgers hit Pat

59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Fryermuth with a twelve yard touchdown and that was fourteen

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Steeler points in less than two minutes, so three Colts

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: first half turnovers allowed the Steeler to lead seventeen to

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: seven and a half time. That's the biggest halftime deficit

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: the Colts faced all season long, and the offensive troubles

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: didn't stop there for the day. The Colts turned the

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: ball over a season high six times, including three loss

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: fumbles and three interceptions. The Steelers scored twenty four of

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: their twenty seven points off of Colts giveaways, and the

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: Steelers had four possessions that started in Colts territory. Overall,

69
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: the Steelers defense registered six quarterback hits in five sacks

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: that generated an interception in a pair of strip sacks,

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: and it was a very uncharacteristic day for the Colts,

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: who had just four turnovers as a team in weeks

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: one through eight going into the game. But the six

74
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: turnovers on Sunday for the Colts there most in a

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: game since two thousand and seven, and it matches an

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Indie era record for the Colts. It's also the most

77
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: giveaways and NFL team has suffered so far this year.

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: On the plus side, the Colts still only lost the

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: game by seven despite those six giveaways, and the defense

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: only allowed two hundred and twenty five yards to the

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: Steelers despite being put into those bad situations for most

82
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: of the afternoon. Wide receivers Michael Pittman Junior and Alec

83
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Pierce both went over one hundred yards receiving for the game.

84
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: They each had one hundred and fifteen yards and for Pittman,

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: he eclipsed five thousand career receiving yards in the losing effort.

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: And Kenny Moore, the second for the Colts, had a

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: pass breakup and a force fumble in the pass defense.

88
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: For him his sixty fifth career pass breakup, which is

89
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: now the most in club history, surpassing the total of

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: the late Vonte Davis. So now the Colts sit at

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: seven and two and there's two other teams in the

92
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: AFC with that same record now, those teams being the

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Patriots and the Broncos. But the Colts still hold onto

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: the overall top spot in the AFC because of a

95
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: six to one conference record. And up next for the

96
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: Colts a trip to Germany to take on the three

97
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: and five Falcons, and they lost to the Patriots on

98
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Sunday twenty four to twenty three, and the Colts will

99
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: play at historic Olympic Stadium this weekend before thereby coming

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: up in week eleven. All right, reminder coming up in

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: segment two, Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights, they're set to

102
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: join the show and we'll attack the game film in Pittsburgh.

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: But right now, it's time to talk with Colts head

104
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: coach Shane Steichen as we always do on Monday nights,

105
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: as he settled in here in the Indiana Construction Industry

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: Radio studio, and coach, I know that loss leaves a

107
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: very sour taste in your mouth with the six turnovers,

108
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: and those are very obvious to point to. But what

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: else showed up on tape as to why the Colts

110
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: came up short on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: I think that was the main reason. Obviously, we got

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 4: to take care of the football.

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: Anytime you lose the turnover battle like we did six

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: to one, it's gonna be hard to win in this league.

115
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: So we got to do a great job of taking

116
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: care of the football moving forward. Our guys up to

117
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: that game had been doing a hell of a job

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: and we didn't get that done on Sunday, which led

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: to the loss. I thought our defense did a hell

120
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: of a job. I thought they were fantastic. I think

121
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: they only had two hundred and twenty six you know,

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: total scrimmage yards.

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: Yep.

124
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: You know, obviously they got to take away there in

125
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: a four minute situation to give it back to the

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,559
Speaker 3: offense to have a chance there.

127
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: And obviously holding Dk mex Cap.

128
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: I think he had two catches for six yards and

129
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: that was one of the keys for our defense. Our

130
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: defense did a great job, but offensively we got to

131
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: take care of the football in order.

132
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 4: To win those games.

133
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: Well, to begin the game, the Colts did what they do.

134
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: You get off to a fast start, defense gets the

135
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: three and out, the Colts go down score a touchdown

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: thirteen play drive. But you know, the game really turned

137
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: when the you know TJ. Watt made that strip sack.

138
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: Just big picture on the Steelers defense, how much of

139
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: a force was there front seven. I mean it seems

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: like even when they weren't getting pressure, they were still

141
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: getting their hands up and batting down passes and still

142
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: having an impact that way.

143
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, credit to their their D line. I thought they

144
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 3: did do a good job getting their hands up and

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: bat and balls. Obviously the one batted ball they had

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 3: to with Wilson coming off the edge, he timp said,

147
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: and then thirty three gets interception. You know, they did

148
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: a good job of getting their hands up. So credit

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 3: to their d line and how they played. And obviously

150
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: we just got to be better and I got to

151
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: be better for our guys, you know, moving forward.

152
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you were asked about this earlier today

153
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: with the local media, but Jonathan Taylor has forty five

154
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: yards on just fourteen carries. How tough was it to

155
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: get him going in the game, especially in the second

156
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: half when at some point you're down by three scores.

157
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the you know, probably just looking back on

158
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: and I've said, you know, probably maybe maybe being a

159
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: little more balanced there, you know in the first half,

160
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: you know, with the run pass stuff, and then yeah,

161
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: being down twenty four to seven going into the fourth quarter,

162
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, obviously we're trying to get back into it,

163
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: and so that's when you got to you know, pass

164
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: heavy a little bit there.

165
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, we will look at that, evaluate that this week.

166
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: You know, looking at Atlanta and our opponent and how

167
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: they play, and we'll make the adjustments needed.

168
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Daniel Jones, you know, the three interceptions, the

169
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: loss fumbles on the strip sacks. What did you see

170
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: from him? Was it just you know, some bad reads

171
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: or some bad ball placements? What what kind of went

172
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: into the aberration of a day for him so far

173
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: in terms of what we know him to be in

174
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.

175
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think looking back at all the turnovers that

176
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: we had, obviously you know the sack fumbles, you know,

177
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: just being cautious of having two hands on the football

178
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: in the pak it. But you know, those happen sometimes

179
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: when you're going to throw a football and those guys

180
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: are coming after it at a quarterback spot, right, and

181
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: then the one you know, on the second and one,

182
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: it gets batted up and you don't you can't control

183
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: where the ball goes, and that thing gets picked off.

184
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: And then I think just the third down one, just

185
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: having vision on War forty one was in that situation.

186
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: And obviously he's learned from that and and grow from that.

187
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, he's been phenomenal for us,

188
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I'm excited to get you know,

189
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: back on track this week.

190
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: You know, going back to what you talked about with

191
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: the defense giving up only two twenty five. Uh, Pittsburgh

192
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: rats up twenty seven points, but twenty four of that

193
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: comes off of giveaways. You know, that unit, the defense,

194
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: it was put in some bad spots throughout the afternoon.

195
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: What did you think of the way they battled and

196
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: you know kind of showed up through adversity.

197
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I said, they were phenomenal, especially sudden changed situations.

198
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: Even the punt you know that goes off Josh downs.

199
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: You know, we get three and out and then Josh downs.

200
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: We have that one and then we hold them, you

201
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: know obviously to you know, get the fourth down stop

202
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: and the red zone. There was huge and I thought

203
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 3: our guys you know, battled like crazy in those situations

204
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: and hold them to.

205
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: What they did I thought was phenomenal.

206
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: Just with the short fields and operating that way.

207
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 4: So, you know, big shout out to our defense.

208
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: All right, last one for me. So again, in conclusion,

209
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: everybody knows, pretty sloppy game. It was an uncharacteristic game

210
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: from the Colts. And it's just that, right, it's only

211
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: one game. You're still seven and two, all of your

212
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: goals are still in front of you. What did you

213
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: have for the team in terms of a message last

214
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: night going into the last week before a pivotal bye

215
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: week and some much needed rest coming up.

216
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, the mistakes that we had

217
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: in that game, obviously, you know we got to own

218
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: those mistakes. But those mistakes don't define us. You know,

219
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: how we respond to the situation does. And I thought

220
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: the team meeting there was great energy in that team meeting.

221
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: This morning.

222
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: We went through some stuff, got some stuff cleaned up,

223
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: and broke off into position meetings and got it cleaned up.

224
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: But when you get cleaned up and then we get

225
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: ready to roll for Atlanta this week.

226
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a few questions here to close out.

227
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: We do this every week from the fans. Submit your

228
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: questions for head coach Shane Stiching with the hashtag colts

229
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: around table on X. There are some good ones here.

230
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: Coach Mike is asking, hey, coach, do you coach differently?

231
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: Our call plays differently when you're on the road in

232
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: a tough place like Pittsburgh or in tough places coming

233
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: up like Kansas City coming up after the bye.

234
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: I think we're going with a specific game plan and

235
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: how I want to call it and how the game's

236
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: gonna flow, and then obviously trying to adjust if need

237
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: to be adjusted. Obviously, we have our scheme that we

238
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: have set up for that week. So whether we're on

239
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: the road or at home, obviously, whether it can play

240
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: into that, that could be a huge factor too in

241
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: outdoor games on how the game plays out. But overall,

242
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: you know, we have a you know, a plan and

243
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: a vision you know, going into every game, whether we're

244
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: at home or on the road.

245
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: Okay, this one's from Q. He says we've converted twelve

246
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: straight fourth downs. How big is your fourth down rollodex?

247
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question.

248
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: I think our guys, like you know, when we go

249
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: for these fourth downs, it really is it's just a

250
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: lot of faith and trust and our offensive players to

251
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: go execute it. And Daniel's been doing a hell of

252
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 3: a job doing it, and especially even when we get

253
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: in those short yards situations and we're running the football,

254
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: got a lot of faith and trust on our offensive

255
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: line to get that push to get that one yard

256
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: and then you know, even the fourth and threes and

257
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: the fourth and fours, you know, going out and executing

258
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: it at a high level. So a lot of those

259
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: fourth down calls, you know, we talk about it, we

260
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: put them in those situations, you know, on a Thursday practice.

261
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: A lot of times a fourth down gotta have it

262
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: to put them in that mindset, you know, so if

263
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: we get in the game situations, our guys are ready

264
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: to go.

265
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: All right. A couple questions on the trip to Berlin.

266
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: Here you're taking on the Falcons Week ten historic Olympic

267
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: stadium in Berlin. You did this to a degree two

268
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: years ago, although that game was against the Patriots in Frankfurt.

269
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: What do you remember about your overall experience two years ago,

270
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: just in terms of the game that far away and

271
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: the logistics and all the things that ramp up to,

272
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: you know, a pretty abnormal road trip, if you will.

273
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, you know, two years ago going to Frankfurt,

274
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: I thought it was great getting that experience and being

275
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: there in Germany, just to travel and the logistics of

276
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: everything that go into it, and how much work goes

277
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: into it, and the way our guys handle that, uh,

278
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: and the exposure it gives to the NFL from a national,

279
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: you know, global perspective, I think is awesome for the

280
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: fans and especially for our players to see a different country,

281
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: uh and get that experience.

282
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: I think it's phenomenal. So obviously going over to Berlin.

283
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: You know we're gonna get that opportunity again and we're

284
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: excited for that.

285
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: Well, what's the hardest part in terms of the adjustment

286
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: for for the players and for you for that matter,

287
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: Like it's a six hour time difference, changes when you practice,

288
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: where you practice and you know all the things that

289
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: you need to have in order to practice. Just just

290
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: what goes into it in terms of the challenges to

291
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: operate a football team that far away from your home base.

292
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing, is the time

293
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: change of making sure you know, our our sleep clocks

294
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: and everything is tries to stay as normal as possible.

295
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: And I think our you, our trainers, you know, our

296
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 3: sports performance staff do a great job of you know,

297
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 3: doing the research on all those things on when the

298
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: guys should sleep, you know, when we get in to Berlin,

299
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: and how the meetings go, when we need to have meetings,

300
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: how practice is going to play out when we're over there.

301
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: And I think that's a huge part of it, just

302
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: understanding that and going over that, you know, this week

303
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: and team meetings to make sure guys understand what the

304
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: schedule is and and what they need to do to

305
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: make sure their minds and their bodies are right for Sunday.

306
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: It's such a big deal to play these games as

307
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: part of the international series. How do you think the

308
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: globalization of football has changed or impacted the game from

309
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: your seat as the head coach of a football team.

310
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's been phenomenal. The global impact it's

311
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: made is huge. You know, you look at the NFL.

312
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: Now there's players coming, you know, from all over the place.

313
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: You know we had you know, we got Jordan Malatta,

314
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: our left tackle in Philly. You know, who's just phenomenal.

315
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: Who is a rugby player, you know, and so yeah,

316
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: you're starting to find players all over the country. Obviously,

317
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 3: the fans are obviously very involved. I think the NFL

318
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: does a great job of doing that and making a

319
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: global sport, not just in the United States. But you

320
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: can see the fan base. I mean, we go over

321
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: to Frankfurt and I don't remember how what the capacity

322
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: was there, but that thing sold out.

323
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

324
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: I think you know, the Olympic stadium that we're playing in,

325
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: I think that's seventy I mean there'll be seventy thousand

326
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: screaming fans there too.

327
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 4: So I think it's awesome the way the NFL has

328
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: globalized the sport.

329
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and just you know, getting all that

330
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: done well. Lastly, your opponent, the Falcons. They're three and five.

331
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: They lost a heartbreaker to the Patriots on Sunday twenty

332
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: four to twenty three. What do you see from them

333
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: and then what challenges will they pose to you in

334
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: Week ten?

335
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

336
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: I think they're a hell of a football team. You know,

337
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: they've had some tough losses right there at the end.

338
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: I think they got some really good players. They got

339
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: two first round draft picks at the edge, you know,

340
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: and Walker and Pierce that can really rush, and and

341
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: Bates is a hell of a safety. And I think

342
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: Pennix is doing a really good job for them. And

343
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: they're running back obviously is the real deal. So we

344
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: got to do a great job defensively offensively, handle on

345
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: both sides of what they throw out at us.

346
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: And go from there.

347
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely good stuff right there. Shane Stike and the head

348

Speaker 2: segment three, it's a segment called Fluky or needs Fixing.

368
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: All right, the Colts played some uncharacteristic football in Pittsburgh

369
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: in Week nine, and we'll explain if Sunday was a

370
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: one time thing or if the problems in Pittsburgh might persist.

371
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: So we'll explain what needs to be cleaned up for

372
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: the Colts before a trip to Germany coming up this weekend.

373

389
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Joe writes, Joe, how are you doing today? How was

390
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: the CYO Title game yesterday? How do we do?

391
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 5: It?

392
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: Was good?

393
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 6: The our lady Mount Carmel Raiders won a close game

394
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 6: eight to six over Saint Pias rights Man, great game,

395
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 6: thank you. Yeah, tremendous effort on both sides, and in

396
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 6: the end we got the conversion that counted. So it

397
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 6: was a defensive battle, but wow. Yeah, the boys were

398
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 6: super excited and pumped for them, so it was it

399
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 6: was a great day on our end and not the

400
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 6: best for the Colts, but all good. As I was

401
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 6: reminding some people this morning, it's just one just like

402
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 6: one win, and to me, yeah, you know, I know,

403
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 6: we'll get into it, but this game was really and

404
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 6: it was an aberration for what the Colts have done,

405
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 6: which you know sometimes in those as coach knows, you

406
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 6: still got to watch the tape and learn, but sometimes

407
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 6: it's best to just get that out of there and

408
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 6: know that was a one time fallacy that isn't going

409
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 6: to repeat itself.

410
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Well said right there, Rick Finn Terry,

411
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: you feel the same way. How you doing after a

412
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: tough loss in Pittsburgh?

413
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, obviously, like everyone else, I think it

414
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 5: was a bit of a shocker, you know, and then

415
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 5: it all settles in and then you know, I'll take

416
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 5: a little bit different view on it. I you know,

417
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 5: I think in the long run, it may be the

418
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 5: best thing that happens to us this season. It happened,

419
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 5: you know, now here at the mid season point. You know,

420
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: we may have taken some things for granted. You know,

421
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: when you're putting up video numbers, you'll take a lot

422
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 5: of things for granted. And you know, particularly on the

423
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 5: protection aspects of it. I think we learned a lot

424
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: about ourselves and certainly things that we will and we

425
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 5: have to and we will correct. Yeah, you know as

426
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: we get into the second half and in the stretch run.

427
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: All right, a lot to get into tonight, per usual.

428
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: This is segment number two or with you until six

429
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 2: thirty tonight. Coming up on segment three, we're gonna get

430
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: to a segment called fluky or needs Fixing. We'll discuss

431
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: if Sunday, as Joe kind of mentioned, was just a

432
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: one time thing, a one time fluke, or some of

433
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: the problems in Pittsburgh are concerning going forward. Then coming

434
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: up in segment four, we're taking your social media questions

435
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: as we always do. That's on the mail bag hashtag

436
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: Colts Roundtable is the best way to reach us Tonight

437
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: on X and have your questions posed to Joe and

438
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: Rick coming up on segment four. But this is segment two,

439
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: and on this segment we always roll it out. We

440
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: let Rick and Joe comment on their initial reactions from

441
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: the game. We call this the tail of the tape. Well,

442
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: baby raising hell today. Okay, come up, bang bang playing

443
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: bang bang, keep.

444
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: The hammer down, keep talking to one another minute, clean

445
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: it up.

446
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: That's all, get right, get righty. The Colts are seven

447
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: and two, second time this season that the Colts were

448
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: plagued with turnovers on the road. The Colts turn the

449
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: ball over six times, again, their most in the game

450
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: since two thousand and seven. They were sacked five times,

451
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 2: and they still only lost the game by seven. The

452
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: defense bowed up when they needed to. For the most part,

453
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: they gave up just two hundred and twenty five yards

454
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: of offense to the Steelers, and twenty four of the

455
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven point total for Pittsburgh came off of Colts giveaways.

456
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: They let one slip away, no doubt about that. So

457
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: what do you have dialed up for us on your

458
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: tail the tape? After watching the game film today?

459
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say after watching it, you know, just

460
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 6: when you watch it live. It's just like, man, nothing's

461
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: going right. We turned the ball over six times, and

462
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 6: again you know your minus five turnover differentch here on

463
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 6: the road. I mean, it's almost impossible to win an

464
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 6: NFL football game. But when I watched the tape, it

465
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: didn't seem that bad. And to me, it was just

466
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 6: kind of a tale of two games. You know, early

467
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: on we were dialed in. We go eighty zoho, we

468
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: stop them, go eighty yards, We stop them again. Pittsburgh

469
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 6: can't game gain a yard. And then you know, we

470
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: muffed that punt and we ended up holding there. But

471
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 6: I feel like that kind of gave them momentum back

472
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh. And I've just always felt like, you have

473
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 6: a game, we have a muff punt. It's just it's

474
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 6: just not your day. Those games are I don't know why,

475
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: I just feel that way. But you muff a punt,

476
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 6: the other team recovers it, it generally seems like you're

477
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 6: gonna be on the losing end. But then we had

478
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 6: another good drive going. We're up seven to nothing, we're

479
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 6: in their territory, we're converting every fourth down, and then

480
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 6: that strip sack, you know, Watt comes off the edge

481
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: and you know, he beats Smith and gets strips it,

482
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 6: recovers the ball. You know, he had the whole trifecta there.

483
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 6: And then after that, you know, it just seemed like

484
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 6: the wheels kind of came off. Then we throw the pick,

485
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh scores a little bit, and but I mean even

486
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 6: still in the second half, we were, you know, seventeen

487
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 6: to seven and we're driving and then we know, throw

488
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 6: another interception, and just it just wasn't our day. And

489
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 6: I feel like when you get behind the eight ball

490
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 6: and when you're playing a team that's an aggressive team

491
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 6: with some good rushers, and when you have to pass,

492
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 6: it's just those are nightmares for offensive linemen. And our

493
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: line did not have their best day. You know, their

494
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 6: edge pressures got after us, you know, and Pittsburgh did

495
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 6: their thing. I thought they were committed to stopping the

496
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 6: run early, right, playing more base defense, seven in the box,

497
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 6: bringing safeties down, keeping people tight. It was clear that

498
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 6: Tomlin wanted to force us in to throw in the

499
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 6: ball and end up being a good game plan for them.

500
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 6: But to me, overall, high level, I think this was

501
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 6: an aberration. This wasn't the Colts. You know, and coach

502
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 6: knows this. You're going to play seventeen games in the season.

503
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 6: You're going to have one or two clunkers when it's

504
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 6: just not you. But when that happens, what's important is

505
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 6: you address it, but you don't dwell on it too much.

506
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 6: Colts are seven and two, they're a really good football team.

507
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 6: You've got to learn these lessons. But I do think

508
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 6: it level sets everybody to understand, like, hey, we're a

509
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: really good football team, but if we don't bring our

510
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 6: a game, it can get ahead of us in a hurry.

511
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 6: And I think that's kind of what happened. So to me,

512
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 6: it's recognized the fact that you lost a game and

513
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 6: you played the porsch you've played all year, But don't

514
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: dwell on it too much and turn one loss into two.

515
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 6: You know, once you know it's Monday night right now

516
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 6: and we're moving on to the Falcons and getting ready

517
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 6: to go to Germany. And if you can do that

518
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 6: and at the end of the day come away with

519
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: a winn in Berlin, you're back on for the bye week.

520
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 6: You're eight and two, you'll still be number one in

521
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 6: the AFC, and you seven games for the stretch run.

522
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 6: That's kind of taking that negative and turned into a

523
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 6: positive a little bit in my mind.

524
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, my first thought, Matt as I as

525
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 5: the game ended, I recalled a great call by Jack

526
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 5: buck in nineteen eighty eight in the World Series on

527
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 5: Gibson's hit, you know, and he said, I can't believe

528
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 5: what I just saw. And that's how it kind of

529
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: hit me, you know, watching it live. You know, I thought,

530
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 5: you know, we had a really good start to the game,

531
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: went down and scored, you know, had several three and outs.

532
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 5: I thought Stichen had a tremendous aggressively game pan management.

533
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 5: I mean he hit four out of four on fourth down,

534
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: including the fake punt. I mean, I thought he had

535
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 5: it going. And then I think, you know that we

536
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 5: did play to the end. Mentality wise, there was no

537
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 5: quit you know, right down to those on side kicks

538
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: and trying to run it, and there's a lot to

539
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 5: be said there. Unfortunately, we couldn't, you know, we just

540
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 5: couldn't overcome the implosure of what has been a tremendous,

541
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: like I said, video numbers offense. You know, you have

542
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 5: six turnovers, five sacks, and two critical penalties that go unnoticed.

543
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 5: You know, and Mike Tomlin had them ready. I said,

544
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 5: going in on the pregame, I said, you worry about

545
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 5: some things. You worry about. Mike Tomlin's teams always plan

546
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 5: when they're back is to the wall, and I said,

547
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 5: the two things they really do well. Not believing that

548
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 5: it would be end up like this, but they had

549
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty two and a half sacks career

550
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 5: sacks among five guys, you know, of which high Smith

551
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 5: and obviously what are the main guys, and you know,

552
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 5: and then I said, they take the ball away pretty good.

553
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 5: I mean, despite all their terrible statistics going in, but

554
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 5: you know, in the end, they dominated up front their defense.

555
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 5: They were ready, they were fired up. And you know,

556
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 5: you know Joe talks about the muff punk. I think

557
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: strip sacks that are lost they go to the other team.

558
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 5: They're like punt blocks, and you very seldom ever have

559
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: a punt block that you win a game. And we

560
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 5: had two critical uh you know, critical strip sacks off

561
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: both edges. You know, they got they got both tackles,

562
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 5: they got what got uh Bryden early and then we

563
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 5: started to help him a lot. And then obviously high

564
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: Smith turned it loose, which he hasn't done all year,

565
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: and he got Ryman twice. I thought they consciously worked

566
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 5: on Gunzalvez and I think there they opened up a

567
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: little bit of a problem there. And then you had

568
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: so many block passes. I mean they look like rim protectors.

569
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 5: They did a good job. You know, you always tell

570
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 5: your team if you can't get there, get your hands up.

571
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 5: And of course, Heyward's really good at that. So they

572
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 5: did all those things. They had Danny, you know, they

573
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 5: had Danny underfire really the whole game, uh you know,

574
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 5: and and there's there isn't any doubt about that. And

575
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 5: that's that's how it ended up offensively. I don't think

576
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 5: it can be lost here because I thought our defense

577
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 5: really played well. I you know this, you know, despite

578
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: kind of a downer Monday, you know, I thought they

579
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 5: really played well. I mean, you know, they were under fire,

580
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: you know, all day long, just too much stress. But

581
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: as you said, you chronicled it two hundred and twenty

582
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 5: five yards only they held Medcalf. I think he had

583
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 5: two ketches for six yards. They had like three point

584
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: seven yards per play and four of twelve on third down.

585
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: To me, the silver lining in the game. The most

586
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 5: encouraging part of the game to me going forward is

587
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: a Jones being back. That made a huge difference. He

588
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 5: played right off the bat like a number one corner.

589
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 5: There's no doubt in my mind having Jones back really

590
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: makes a difference. And then knowing that you're going to

591
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: get wardback, you know, and then I thought a lot

592
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 5: to his effort was really good. The two and a

593
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 5: half sacks. I thought the first one was just terrific.

594
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 5: He came up and under and came down across that

595
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 5: backside and got the quarterback and the and I say,

596
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 5: they're silver linings and they're so you know, they're so important.

597
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 5: Those have been the issues with us on defense, you know,

598
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 5: corner play which has restricted Lou and then not really

599
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: getting those edge rushes. So we kind of checked the

600
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 5: box on those two things. And what I noticed with

601
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 5: Lou was he was much different yesterday, a lot back

602
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 5: to a lot more Manda man coverage, Manda band variations,

603
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: and I thought that was that was really really good. Unfortunately,

604
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 5: by all the turnovers, we gave the Steelers the short field,

605
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 5: which they need because they do two things well on offense.

606
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 5: As you know, going in, Matt, we talked about it.

607
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 5: They pounded three touchdowns in the red zone. And the

608
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 5: other thing is they don't give up the ball much

609
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 5: and they only had one turnover. I'm not going to panic,

610
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 5: you know. I think I think a day like yesterday,

611
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 5: the one day is a bad day. Two days is

612
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 5: a trend. In three days is a real problem. So

613
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 5: what I'm what I'm for, you know, looking forward to,

614
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 5: is that this is one day. As Joe said, it

615
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: only counts one. I think it's great that we're going

616
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 5: to Berlin on this particular game after this loss, because

617
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: I think it changes everything. There's a different buzz, you

618
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 5: change your routine, everything changes, and so the narrative changes

619
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 5: immediately and you go on to the next one.

620
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: All Right, lots of unpack right there. That's the tale

621
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,720

645
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: Rick Vinurrey and Joe Wrights, and on the last segment

646
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: we looked at the film and discussed the big areas

647
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: that led to the Colts loss to the Steelers. Now

648
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: we need to break down whether or not the uncharacteristic

649
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: football on Sunday for the Colts, right turning the football

650
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: over six times, allowing pressures on Daniel Jones not playing

651
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: complimentary football. We're going to discuss if some pivotal areas

652
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday are fluky or if they need serious fixing

653
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: after a loss to the Steelers. So let's begin with

654
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: those turnovers. Rick Venturrey, it's pretty simple so far on

655
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: the season for the Colts, when they turned the football over,

656
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: they lose. They're zero to two when committing multiple turnovers,

657
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: but in their seven wins they've turned it over just once.

658
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: On Sunday, they coughed it up a season high six times.

659
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh scored twenty four points off of those giveaways. Pittsburgh still,

660
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: though only muster two to twenty five for the game.

661
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: They had four possessions that started in Colts territory, and

662
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: this was from a Pittsburgh defense that had been reeling.

663
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: The Steelers came into the game having gone thirteen consecutive

664
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: quarters without a turnover, but in all Daniel Jones was

665
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: credited with five of the colts six turnovers, including a

666
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: pair of strip sacks, a tip ball interception, and a

667
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: pair of traditional picks as well. So, Rick, I'm gonna

668
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: start with you, are the turnover or is that many

669
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: of them? Are they a one time fluke or does

670
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: it need serious fixing for the Colts going into a

671
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: game in Berlin?

672
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: Well, I think it needs serious fixing in that And

673
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 5: and you know, this is such an atypical it's hard

674
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: to categorize this, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go with

675
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: Sirius fixing because we all know that the number one

676
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: issue in terms of winning, the number one statistics over

677
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 5: the years is your turnover differential and when you're not

678
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 5: turning the ball over, you're gonna win games. Now, there

679
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 5: were there were some little things, but they've got to

680
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 5: be cleaned up because this is the copycat league and

681
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 5: everybody's gonna go do it. Number one. You know, we

682
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 5: got to do better job at tackle. I mean honestly,

683
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 5: Uh you know, we get two strip sacks off each edge,

684
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 5: you know, in one case it's Braden. Then they helped him,

685
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 5: you know, then you got Ryman, you got two sacks

686
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: off of his edge, and again one was a strip sack.

687
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 5: So you know, you gave up the ball twice. I'm

688
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: I'm not so sure that Danny couldn't step up another

689
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 5: step in the pocket. It was clean on those two.

690
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 5: I thought he could have stepped up just a bit

691
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 5: and try to run those guys back. But nonetheless, uh,

692
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: you know, teams are going to see that. I don't

693
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 5: know that teams are going to have two guys like that.

694
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 5: But you know, you got to do it on the interception,

695
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, to Wilson, that was a little thing. J

696
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 5: T was chipping. JT was chipping on the on the

697
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 5: on the right side, you know, for Braden, and he

698
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 5: didn't get out into the route till late, very late,

699
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 5: and so Wilson was covering in Manda Man, so he

700
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: came up towards the line and it didn't do it intentionally,

701
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 5: but he just hid out in there with his eyes

702
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: on the quarterback. So when Danny sees that, he thinks

703
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: that's clear because that's going to be a flat route

704
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 5: and Downs is running the option which he has the

705
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 5: two way go, and so he runs the jerk. He

706
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: starts in and comes out and as Danny sees that,

707
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 5: I think he totally loses sight because that should be clear,

708
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 5: and Jonathan's got to hustle out of there faster, and

709
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: basically Wilson just fell back into it. There's no doubt

710
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: about it, no doubt about it. The batted ball, you know,

711
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 5: the battered ball interception was interesting. I'm not sure what

712
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: you do on batted balls. I know, if you're throwing quick,

713
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: you do a little bit more cutting. But he had

714
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 5: several battered balls. We have to look at that. That

715
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 5: was huge. And then the last one, you know, the

716
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: one to Porter, Uh, he just pushed it downfield. I

717
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 5: thought he could have been a little more patient. I

718
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 5: thought we had time, you know, and then we had

719
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 5: two receivers right in the same spot, which allowed Porter

720
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 5: to split the zone back there and just sit on it. So,

721
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 5: you know, I just feel like the reason I'm going

722
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 5: to put a sense of urgency on it, Matt, that's

723
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 5: the reason that I'm saying that, you you know, we

724
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 5: really have to fix it. You know, we've been very good.

725
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 5: We were you know, we were third in the league

726
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: and giveaways number three going in, so it's not been

727
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: a long term problem. But don't let it even start.

728
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: All right, Joe Wrights, what do you think turnover is

729
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: one time fluke or is this something that that could linger.

730
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say somewhere in between. And I think

731
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 6: it's right. When we've turned the ball over, we're zero

732
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 6: and two. And as coach mentioned, if you have one statistic,

733
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 6: it's turnover differential in terms of your outcome and NFL

734
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 6: football games, and for the Colts there's such an efficient

735
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 6: offense and they score at such a high rate. If

736
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 6: we don't turn the ball over and possess it, we're

737
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 6: gonna put up thirty and we're going to be really

738
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 6: really hard to beat. And so but it all compounds

739
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 6: on each other to his point. You know what, you

740
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 6: know gets around Smith with the low rip right there

741
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 6: and gets the sack fumble. So the next possession you

742
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 6: got the running back in there to chip. He didn't

743
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 6: get out of his route. That allows Wilson to stay there.

744
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 6: And you're right, you know, Jones was looking left, he

745
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 6: came back right. He knew he wanted to go to

746
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 6: Downs on that little whip route. But Wilson was just

747
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 6: hanging in there because Taylor was ended up chipping and

748
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 6: not getting out of his route, So I think it

749
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 6: all comes into effect together. I think for a line

750
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 6: like that especially, I've always felt like when you're playing

751
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 6: on a grass field, sometimes it's easier for the defense

752
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 6: to condense the pocket, if that makes sense, because you

753
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 6: don't have quite the same footing. I know, they don't

754
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 6: have the greatest field, and so sometimes those edges get

755
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 6: a little bit tighter, and you know, as a lineman,

756
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 6: you always know the quarterbacks launch point is he throwing

757
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 6: the ball, is his back foot going to be at

758
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 6: six yards or nine and a half or where it's

759
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 6: going to be, And you want to run those guys

760
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 6: past the pocket. But sometimes when you're on that grass field,

761
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 6: you get a little slippage, if that makes sense. That

762
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 6: extra yard or so can be a big difference in

763
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 6: turning the corner, you know, and Jones maybe not able

764
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 6: to step up as much in the pocket, but he

765
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 6: certainly didn't, you know, even feel lot on that one

766
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 6: un till the very end. So I just think it

767
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 6: just overall, it kind of just started bad and then

768
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 6: got worse when you were turning the football over and

769
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 6: again when you're in the second half and you're down

770
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 6: two scores and you have to throw the ball, and

771
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 6: they got an aggressive defense at home, and the crowd's

772
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 6: going that just that that makes it a long day

773
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 6: to be blocking. So I got confidence they'll correct it.

774
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 6: And I think the biggest thing is you don't turn

775
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 6: the ball over. You're up ten to fourteen like we've

776
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 6: been doing. You're able to run the football, you don't

777
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 6: have to pass, and you turn it over less. So

778
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 6: sometimes those turnovers just kind of be get more turnovers

779
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 6: and so somewhere in between for me, Matt, but again

780
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 6: confidence that we're not a team that's turned the football

781
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 6: over to high rate. So I'm still gonna go this

782
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 6: is more of an aberration.

783
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: As Joe Wrights, Rick vent Uri is along as well.

784
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm Matt Taylor. This is Colts Round Table Live tonight

785
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: on ninety three to five and one oh seven five

786
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: the Fan with you until six thirty pm tonight. This

787
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 2: segment's called fluky or needs serious fixing. We kind of

788
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: already talked about the pressures up front allowed by the

789
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: offensive line, so let's skip down just in terms for

790
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: timing sake. Here, let's go to Jonathan Taylor. Because the

791
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: Colts offense never really started to get Taylor started in

792
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh right, The run game wasn't afforded the ability to

793
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: be the focus of the offense, especially after the Colts

794
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: fell behind by three scorers at some points there in

795
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: the second half. So Taylor finishes with a season low

796
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: forty five yards on fourteen carries, for an average per

797
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: rush of just three point two. That's far lower than

798
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 2: a season average coming into the game at five point nine. Rick,

799
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm just going to throw it out there from a

800
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 2: discussion sake standpoint, I mean, was was Taylor's game fluky?

801
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: Or does the off excuse me, the offensive approach? Does

802
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: that need attention after what happened in Pittsburgh here going forward?

803
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 5: Now, well, I think it's fluky in this respect in

804
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 5: that I think we're so much better than that. But

805
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 5: I think it needs to be addressed a little bit

806
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 5: that you can't necessarily have the same formula for every team.

807
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 5: Now so far, our formula, you know, and it's and

808
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 5: it's been tried and true, it's been explosive, has really

809
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 5: been early in the game to come out and throw

810
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 5: the ball all over the yard, move Danny on the boots,

811
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 5: get it to warn a lot early, you know, take

812
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 5: a shot down field, get it to Pittman third down,

813
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: get it to downs with a mix of JT with

814
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 5: a mix if you really think about it, JT's biggest

815
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 5: amount of damage has been in the third and fourth quarter,

816
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: after we've stretched and widened and softened defense. Well, you

817
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 5: know we did. We they were loaded early and we

818
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: ran him a little bit. Wasn't anything super effective, but

819
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 5: he ran the ball, particularly down into red zone. But

820
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, you know, all of a sudden,

821
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: we get we get the turnover, we get the stripsack,

822
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 5: you know, and then the interception, and pretty soon as

823
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 5: fourteen seven and it's seventeen seven, and then in the

824
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 5: third quarter it goes twenty four to seven. So now

825
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 5: in that sense, now you're in a whole different kind

826
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 5: of ballgame. The very areas where you would, you know,

827
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 5: just run them off the field. You need to score,

828
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 5: you need to throw the football. And I think in

829
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 5: that sense, you know, we do have to address that.

830
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 5: I think one thing that got us mentally, you know,

831
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 5: when you looked at these guys on tape, Watt and

832
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 5: Highsmith were not playing that they weren't that effective. They

833
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: couldn't cover anybody. I kind of think we might have

834
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: taken out a little bit for granted, because when you

835
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 5: have those kind of great rushers, you might have to

836
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: alter that formula and run the ball a little bit

837
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: more early and get them off balance.

838
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would agree with coach. I mean, they were

839
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 6: set out, you know, and coach Tomlin talked about it

840
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 6: after the game that they did not want Taylor to

841
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 6: beat us and make us one dimensional, and they were

842
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 6: heavy in the box, playing three linebackers, having other guys

843
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 6: in safeties down in the box. But I think to

844
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 6: coach it's more again, just the game dictated. He only

845
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 6: got fourteen carries and his longest run of the game

846
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 6: was nine and what are we.

847
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 4: Used to with JT?

848
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: Twenty yard run? Fifty yard run? But again, a lot

849
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 6: of those he's breaking in the second half when you're

850
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 6: wearing the defense down, and you know that's how you

851
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 6: wear those defensive ends down. You run at him, you

852
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 6: pound them in the run game, and we never really

853
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 6: got that going, and so they had the juice to

854
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 6: rush the passer. So for me, when you look at

855
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 6: the box score and you see the Jones threw it

856
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 6: fifty times a game and Taylor and they rushed at fourteen.

857
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 6: That's not our recipe for success, right, Our recipe is

858
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 6: the great balance. We've had two fifty plus throwing the ball,

859
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 6: one fifty on the ground, Taylor twenty five. You know,

860
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 6: touches if you just look at the box where you'd

861
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 6: probably say, hey, it wasn't the Colts' best day, and

862
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 6: so I think you give some credit to Pittsburgh there,

863
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 6: but a lot of it just was just all the

864
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 6: miscues in the turnovers. The game just dictated that we

865
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 6: couldn't get to our third and fourth quarter rushing to

866
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 6: win the game attack because we were just down three

867
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 6: scores on the scoreboard.

868
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said right there by both of you guys,

869
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights and Rick Venturi. By the way, Sunday was

870
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: the first time this season that the Colts, and more

871
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: specifically Jonathan Taylor, did not have a rush over ten yards.

872
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: All right. That segment was brought to you by Hotbox Pizza.

Speaker 2: supercenter of the Colts and a proud sponsor of hundreds

897
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: of local sports teams across the Midwest. We got some

898
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: juicy ones here. Chuck is up first. Chuck says, hey,

899
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: I'm not overreacting to the loss because we didn't play

900
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: our best and we still only lost the game by seven,

901
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: and we won't see two edge rushers of the caliber

902
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: of Watt and Highsmith on the same team the rest

903
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: of the year. Tell me I'm wrong, Rick Venturi, what

904
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: do you think of what Chuck is putting down right there?

905
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 5: No, I really totally agree with Chuck. You know, I

906
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 5: would even say we didn't play our best. I think

907
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 5: we play our worst. I mean we had, you know,

908
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 5: six six turnovers, five sacks, yeah, and two critical penalties.

909
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you have eleven game changing plays, so you

910
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 5: know it's probably our worst. And he's exactly right. I

911
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 5: mean we were still on side kicking, you know, with

912
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 5: thirteen seconds to go, So I mean it still went

913
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 5: down to be a competitive game regardless. And that doesn't

914
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 5: if you're at your worst and you go into Pittsburgh

915
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 5: and you play that tight, you don't want to you

916
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 5: don't want to go crazy here. You don't want to

917
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 5: lose it from that standpoint. As I said before, sometimes

918
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: something like this that is just totally off the deep end.

919
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 5: But exposes things, It exposes some issues that you haven't had.

920
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 5: It may be the very best thing for us, you know.

921
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 5: I think we took it for granted our protection a

922
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 5: little bit. And I don't think our tackles have seen

923
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 5: because he didn't see it on tape. I don't think

924
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 5: they saw edge rushers to the quality of what Pittsburgh had. Yeah,

925
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 5: and I think we took a little bit for granted

926
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 5: on that standpoint. But so again, if you want to

927
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 5: call it a wake up call, whatever, you know. But

928
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 5: I think schematically we look at things a little bit different.

929
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 5: Maybe certain guys we have to help ran in a

930
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 5: little bit with I mean, you know, it just it

931
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 5: just goes week to week. But I thought the same thing.

932
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: I thought we played as bad as we've ever played,

933
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 5: and it was still a game.

934
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Yeah, you only lost the game

935
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: by seven. Ironically, both of the Colts losses this season,

936
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: the score has been twenty seven to twenty. All right,

937
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: let's go to Brian. Brian's up next. He wants to know, Hey,

938
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights, as a former player, now, what are the

939
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: biggest challenges of playing a game overseas? As will be

940
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: the case this weekend for the Colts going to Berlin.

941
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, for me, it's you got to keep the main thing,

942
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 6: the main thing, and that's Sunday at nine to thirty

943
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 6: local time here, going out and playing your best. And

944
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 6: there's so much that goes into it. There's so much

945
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 6: excitement for the fans, and you know, it's kind of

946
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 6: a circus type atmosphere. You're out of your element and

947
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 6: as players were such routine based and you know, we

948
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 6: played over there in London and we did not play

949
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 6: well the first time around. I think credit to the Colts.

950
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 6: They played in Germany. So you're back in the same

951
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 6: country two years ago with the same head coach that

952
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 6: won a football game, and so clearly you have the template,

953
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 6: you have the formula that works. I think that's a

954
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 6: big advantage for the Colts. And there's buying and there's

955
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 6: trust and the coaching staff that they're gonna get us

956
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 6: ready to play. And so at the end of the day, yeah,

957
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 6: you're on a flight and you're going somewhere else, but

958
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 6: you know, you're taking an eight nine hour flight to Germany.

959
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 6: That's not a ton different than taking a four or

960
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 6: five hour flight to La to go play a game.

961
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 6: We went out there and beat the Chargers in our

962
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 6: most recent longer flight. So I think there's a lot

963
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 6: of good things going to the Colts advantage. Most notably

964
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 6: they were there in the same country two years ago

965
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 6: they won again. You're gonna have kind of a pro

966
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 6: Colts crowd. There was going to be exciting. You know,

967
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 6: Bjorn Werner, you know who's a legend over there, who

968
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 6: I got to play with, is going to be there.

969
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 6: So I think there's a lot of good mojo going

970
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 6: the Colts way. But as a player, get your rest

971
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 6: day on your routine, it's gonna look a little bit different.

972
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 6: But if you just focus and don't overfocus on your

973
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 6: playing somewhere else and go out and ball, they'll be

974
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 6: just fine. Sunday at nine thirty year an Indy.

975
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 2: All right, last one. This is coming from Jackson again

976
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 2: hashtag Colts Round Table on X for our mailbag segment

977
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 2: that we do every week. Here, Jackson is asking, hey, Rick,

978
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: how did our secondary perform with Jalen Jones' return to

979
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: the lineup this weekend?

980
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 5: Well, I frankly was really happy with it on on

981
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 5: many levels. I thought we played really well. You didn't

982
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 5: give him anything over the top Medcalf, you know, he

983
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 5: was on the witness protection program. He didn't get a thing.

984
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 5: I thought the return of Jones, I was really impressed.

985
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 5: I thought he might be on a pitch count. I

986
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 5: was just shocked when he went in here and played

987
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 5: as well as he did, getting up and press and

988
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 5: Lou's scheme when when he wants what he wants to play,

989
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 5: will be good for Jones. And I thought that also

990
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 5: Lou maybe had more confidence and maybe he was just

991
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 5: tired of getting shredded. But we went back to a

992
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 5: lot more mann a man press, with Jones playing the

993
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 5: number one corner and Blackman playing the number two corner.

994
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 5: Of course Kenny in the slot. And I thought we

995
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 5: played different kinds of man. We played two man, one rat,

996
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 5: we played Jill covers. We played a lot of different

997
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 5: kinds of man, which really shrunk down, you know, the

998
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 5: ability to throw the ball to the outside as a matter.

999
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 5: And even when we played our zones, they were tighter,

1000
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 5: they were tighter underneath. Now, I think what we got

1001
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 5: to do, we got to make sure we clean up underneath. Still,

1002
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 5: most of the yardage that was made was by Austin

1003
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 5: and Washington and Friarmouth and they were all really inside

1004
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 5: the numbers and most of those really are pretty much

1005
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 5: long coverage this. Yeah, and I think we got to

1006
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 5: improve there. And we still they did score three times

1007
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 5: in a red zone. We had a couple misplays, you know,

1008
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 5: I still think we got to get better there, but

1009
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 5: I was very pleased. I thought they really showed improvement.

1010
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. All right, that's the mailbag segments tonight

1011

Speaker 2: wrap up the show and look ahead to week ten.

1038
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: Already Week ten here and the second weekend coming up

1039
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 2: of November and a trip for the Colts to Germany. Joe,

1040
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 2: the floor is yours. So the Colts are seven and two.

1041
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 2: They'll play in Germany part of the International series. The

1042
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 2: Falcons are up next and it's a pre normal week

1043
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 2: for the Colts up until Thursday night that's when they're

1044
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 2: going to fly to Germany. And after that, as you know,

1045
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: it's a very abnormal build up to the game with

1046
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: the time difference in the travel and some of the

1047
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: marketing things that the Colts and the players are expected

1048
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: to do and rightfully so, to continue to grow the

1049
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 2: game internationally. But Joe, what are your final thoughts on

1050
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers game and what life is like for the

1051
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: players this week with the game prep, the travel and

1052
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: the body clock adjustments.

1053
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm out on the Steelers. The game's over and

1054
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 6: it was an aberration. We're still seven to two and

1055
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 6: leading the AFC because of our conference record. To me,

1056
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 6: it's moved the page quick to Berlin in and bottom line,

1057
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 6: it's a fun game. It's a different atmosphere, like you said,

1058
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 6: but as players, keep your routine as close to normal

1059
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 6: as you can. You go over there to Germany, You're

1060
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 6: playing a Falcons team who is kind of hot and cold,

1061
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 6: but you know objectively we're the better team, and you

1062
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 6: get that win. You put everything into it. You got

1063
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 6: a nice eight nine hour planning ride home and a

1064
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 6: bye week, so to me as a player, I'm thinking,

1065
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 6: we got the chance to get ourselves to eight and two,

1066
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 6: number one in the AFC, put ourselves in a position

1067
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 6: to control our own destiny for home field advantage. What

1068
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 6: else could you ask for? And go over there and

1069
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 6: have a lot of fun doing it. And you know,

1070
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 6: I think if we do that, we take care of

1071
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 6: business and keep that main thing the main thing, it's

1072
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 6: going to be a joyful plane ride from Germany back home.

1073
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 2: To the States.

1074
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 6: But coach, what do you got on the Falcons. I

1075
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 6: know they've been hot and cold this year and they

1076
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 6: got some pieces, but they haven't necessarily kind of put

1077
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 6: it all together so far.

1078
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 5: Well, they got ten x back this week. I look

1079
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 5: at the tape this morning. They lost a heartbreaker twenty

1080
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 5: four to twenty three, of which they actually missed the

1081
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 5: last extra point, so that was a killer form. On

1082
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 5: the big picture, they're fifteenth in total offense and their

1083
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 5: number four in defense. They have three of the most

1084
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 5: versatile and best offensive players in the league. Viijon Robinson

1085
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 5: is truly a hybrid running back, but he is flanked

1086
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 5: a lot and he will really run patterns like a receiver.

1087
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 5: He reminds me a lot more of a Marshall fulk

1088
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 5: type of guy, really true hybrid, also a hybrid. And

1089
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 5: Kyle Pits their tight end, terrific athlete who is a

1090
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 5: tight end, but he's a wide out most of the time.

1091
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 5: They create great space for Pitts and Robinson. And then

1092
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 5: Drake London is a really good downfield receiver, big quick

1093
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 5: goes and get the fifty to fifty balls. So you've

1094
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 5: got three challenges. They're on offense. I think their defense

1095
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 5: is very, very sticky. Again, it's fourth total. A lot

1096
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 5: of good numbers on defense, a ton of bear, a

1097
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 5: ton of press. We played this coordinator a few years

1098
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 5: back in Atlanta and they did a great job. This

1099
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 5: was his first time in Atlanta, so it will be

1100
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 5: you know, they're very aggressive, very athletic on defense. So again,

1101
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 5: if you get the good Falcons, you're in for a

1102
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: tough game. And as we all said, you know, this

1103
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 5: is a totally different venue, very hard to predict how

1104
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 5: teams respond. We responded very well the last time we

1105
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 5: went to Europe.

1106
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll find out how it goes. It's the Colts

1107
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: and Falcons in Bertlein. That's a quick scouting report on

1108
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: the dirty Birds. And that's gonna do. That's all the

1109
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: time we've got tonight for this edition of Colts Roundtable Live.

1110
