1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts now from the Power Home

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Solar Radio Studio. Here's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey,

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: welcome inside the Tuesday Colts Daily Update. Fired up tonight

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: on ninety three five one oh seven five the Fan.

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor. But then until about six to fifteen

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: to night talking Colts football. E J Speed, Colts linebacker

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: and owner of two block punt return touchdowns this season,

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: is set to join us, coming up on segment number two.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: He and his Colts teammates were back on the practice

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: field today getting ready for their Week sixteen matchup with

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. It's the first time in

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: the history of the Colts franchise they'll play a game

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. They played plenty of games on Christmas

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: Eve and December twenty sixth, but never a game on

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: December twenty fifth. The Colts coming to the game eight

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and six, winners of two in a row and seven

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: of their last nine. The Cardinals are ten and four,

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: but they have lost two in a row heading into

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the game, including a thirty to twelve loss to the

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Lions on Sunday. That game actually marked just the third

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: time since the nineteen seventy NFL merger that the team

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: with the best record in the NFL lost to the

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: team with the worst record entering the matchup. As of now,

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: both teams are in the playoff field and their respective conferences.

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: If the postseason started today, the Colts would be the

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: fifth seed in the AFC and the Cardinals would be

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: the fourth seed in the NFC. As the leaders of

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the NFC West, Arizona is looking for their first division

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: title since twenty fifteen and their fourth division crown since

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: divisional realignment back in two thousand and two. The AFC

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: playoff picture remains pretty interesting. In fact, thirteen of the

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: sixteen teams in the conference are still alive for the postseason.

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: Only the Jets, Texans, and Jaguars have been eliminated with

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: three games to go, the AFC South title in a

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: first round playoff game at Lucas Oil Stadium not out

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: of the question for the Colts just yet. With three

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: games to go, the Titans have a two game lead

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: on the Coal one game in the standings, but they

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: also owned the tiebreaker on Indianapolis by sweeping the season series.

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: So the magic number for the Titans to clench the

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: AFC South it's still at two. That's a combination of

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Titans wins and Colts losses here in the final three

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. But by beating the Patriots last week,

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: the Colts playoff odds shot up to eighty nine percent.

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: That according to five thirty eight dot com. That's amazing

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: considering where the Colts were right after an owen three start.

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: Their odds of making the playoffs then just five point

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: nine percent, and if the Colts beat the Cardinals on

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Saturday night, their odds jump up to ninety seven percent

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, and the Colts are looking to

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: become the fifth team in the history of the NFL

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs after starting owen three. Congratulations to

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, He's headed to his first career Pro Bowl.

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: He was one of just five NFL players revealed in

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,360

57

Speaker 1: that's the host city of the game. Taylor's the first

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Colts running back named to the Pro Bowl since Joseph

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: only needs two more total touchdowns and his final three

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: games to break Lenny Morris club record for touchdowns in

71

Speaker 1: can play coming up this weekend in Arizona. Another player

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,520

78

Speaker 1: with his wife and his family as they go through

87

118
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: What did that win mean for the team? Beating a

119
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: really good team here late in the season and making

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: a statement to yourselves and the rest of the AFC

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: with three games to go. I think we kind of

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: like already made a statements of ourselves, But to the

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: rest of the league, I think that was a great

124
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: that was that was a great win to put everybody

125
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: on notice that, you know, we come up for the

126
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: playoffs from coming for the whole thing, and we weren't

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: super bowed out of this year. And you got the

128
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: block punt touchdown? All right, take me through it. What

129
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: went through your mind when you saw the ball in

130
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the end zone just sitting there and you're the guy

131
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: you're sprinting towards it. What was your approach at that

132
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: point trying to make a big play in a big game? Uh?

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Just being being controlled and recovery and let's you know,

134
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: let's let's keep the game going, let's let's finish this game,

135
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: and let's let's get a doge. But way easier said

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: than done, right, I mean, how do you how do

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: you keep your cool? Right? The entire football world is

138
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: watching the crowds going nuts. How do you maintain your

139
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: composure in that moment um. It's kind of unexplainable. I mean,

140
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: you just got to be in a position I'm you know,

141
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: just having athletic ability, just having really having faith in yourself.

142
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: You know that you built to make plays, and just

143
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: make the play. That's not too much things going on

144
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: too when you think too much. That's me myself actually,

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's my problem. Right. But you've you've got

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: two block punts for touchdowns on the season, man, or

147
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: are you cherry picking? I mean, are you letting other

148
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: guys do the dirty work and then you're cleaning it

149
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: up for all the glory? What's going on? Not even

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean they just I mean I'm running to the ball.

151
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: They say good things happen to those who run to

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the ball, So that's what happened. I play hard, every

153
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: playing you know, just come out of it. There's no

154
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: doubt about that. You are just the third NFL player

155
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety four with two block punt return touchdowns

156
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: in a season. I mean, it's incredible. Which which one

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: was sweeter, the touchdown against the Jaguars or this one

158
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. I'm gonna get it to the Jaguars.

159
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I actually got to get the ball in my hands

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: and make something happy with it. But both of them

161
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: are both of them are blessing. Both of them felt good.

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Why are you guys having so much success on blocking punts?

163
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: How much time and scheming goes into that in terms

164
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: of preparation during the week. I think it's a mentality

165
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: our approach. We play hard and when you play hard

166
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: pressure bus pipe. So like when you play hard, you

167
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: get stuff, good stuff. Good things come out of those

168
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: who play hard on the fall field. EJ. Speed is

169
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: with US Colts linebacker EJ. How much do you enjoy

170
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: playing on special teams? Is that a mindset? You have

171
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: to have a love for it because you seem to

172
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: love it because of how much impact you're having on

173
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: these games. I think it's just I think it just

174
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: comes from being natural. I can make an impact on defense.

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: Special team is really wherever I put on the field.

176
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: I always been like that. I played multiple positions growing

177
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: up and a lot of a lot of I played

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: football a lot on the streets I played. I played

179
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: football from sun up to sundown, me and my brother. So, um,

180
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: it's natural. Just anything in the football field is natural.

181
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: For me, I feel like, well that goes back to

182
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: your high school days, right, you played running back, you

183
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: played wide receiver, you played quarterback even up until college. No, yeah,

184
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: keep returning from return. So it was you know, I

185
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: just natural football player, all right? Tell me what's it

186
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: like to play for a Bubba Ventron, a former special

187
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: team's great player in his own right in the NFL.

188
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: How intense is he throughout the course of the week.

189
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Highly intense? I mean you see it on the sideline, y'all.

190
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Ever get a chance to come in the building and

191
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: they let y'all, I mean, just come to a price

192
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: and you or see you fall in love with the

193
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: passion that he brings to the game. When it comes

194
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: to coaching, was that your mindset when you first broke

195
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: into the league? Get on the good graces of Bubba

196
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: Ventron and bust your tail on special teams, improve that

197
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you can be a difference maker on teams and on

198
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: defense as a linebacker. I think, I think when it

199
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: comes to Bubba and me and when I first came

200
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: in into the league, Bubba demanded. Bubba demanded a certain

201
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: type of playing style, a certain type of mindset to

202
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: approach playing for him, and he stayed consistent with it,

203
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and when he stayed consistent with it, it would just graduate.

204
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I caught up to it and nas natural for me.

205
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking of like on players. I gotta

206
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: play hard, just a natural thing. And he played hard,

207
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: and then you turn on the film, you're like, you know,

208
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: you're turning on FIM. You look at other people and

209
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: you look at yourself and you're like, man, I'm playing

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: way harder than this guy. And then that's why the

211
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: players come, because it's just a natural he naturally playing hard.

212
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: It's like, not even the effort, it's just a standard,

213
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. That's EJ. Speed, Colts linebacker

214
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: with us. All right, let's talk about the Arizona Cardinals

215
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: up next. EJ. What do they look like on film

216
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: and what kinds of challenges do they pose on offense

217
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: and on special teams. We're still working through the game plan,

218
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: but I think I think it'd be a great game.

219
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: It's on Christmas, so I'm thinking that everybody would be

220
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: high effort and it'll be a fun game to play against,

221
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: play against the Arizona Cardinership. Yeah, what are your thoughts

222
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: on playing on Christmas night? Will you enjoy that even

223
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: though it's you know, it's a holiday and you're gonna

224
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: be away from from family on that night. I definitely

225
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: missed the fan, but I think I think I'll be

226
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: doing it. I think it's a great Christians present for

227
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: me to play on Christmas. I haven't played on Christmas

228
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: a day in my life, so this would be the

229
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: first time. So I'm looking to do something specially on Christmas.

230
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: All right, last couple of things again with EJ. Speed,

231
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Colts linebacker with us, how much confidence does this team

232
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: have right now? I know that's a tough question to answer.

233
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: It's a tough thing to sort of of quantify. But

234
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: you've won seven m nine, two really big marquee wins

235
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: right in the last couple of weeks over Buffalo and

236
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: New England. How dangerous are the Colts right now? We're rolling?

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: You you see it. We had a shout out versus

238
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Houston and I ain't gonna talking about the past. Just

239
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: know we were rolling right now. We're excited. We juiced stuff,

240
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: and I think anybody that's that that they put in

241
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: front of us, we're gonna We're gonna run through. Absolutely
