1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Football is about the Jimmy's and Joe's and x'es and o's.

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Check New York votooto Baker, Bruce.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: It's time to get out the chockboard and diagram some plays.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: Here's what it all starts right here.

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: That's why jamiey Chris, this is Inside Football with former

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Colts and NFL coach Rick Venturi.

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Regular season football is back, and so is Inside Football.

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Here with Rick Ventury to break down the Colts opponent

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: on a weekly basis. I'm Matt Taylor, thanks for joining

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: in here on the Colts Audio Network, and week one

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: is here. That means we're telling you all about the

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Rick Ventury is back after a long Labor

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: Day weekend and football starts for the Colts on Sunday

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: in the AFC South. My good man, the defending champs

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: are going to be in the Circle City.

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: Rick. How you doing today, man, I'm doing really well.

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm getting I'm starting to get accustomed

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: to this little bit of gap. Uh. You know that

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: we have the between the end of the of the

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: preseason and this season. It certainly gave me a really

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: extended time to get ready for Jacksonville and actually actually

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 3: peak at Houston a little bit next week. It seems

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: like we've played both those teams, seem like we play

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: them every week. And but I'm really I'm really excited

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: for this week. And I you know, part of it

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: is and I don't mean this in any way negative.

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure who we are, what we're what we're.

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: No, that's it. I mean, you don't know the identity

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: of the Colts, and you also don't know scheme wise

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: on offense, really what to expect one hundred percent wise

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: going into the season.

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: Well, you said it, you know, you said it in

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: passing to me. It's like Christmas morning, you just open

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: up your packages. And I will say this, I I

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: do expect. I don't expect him to be perfect, and

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: he could have real bumps in the road, but I

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: know we'll get some well plays out of the quarterback.

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: And I do think this just what you just mentioned.

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm also excited because you know, with the merger of

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: the merging of stike In, you know and Richardson, really

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: the landscape of this franchise offensively changes forever. I mean,

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: this is a you know, this is a totally different

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: style as we go into twenty three, and it's really

44
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: exciting from that standpoint. And again, I think we'll, you know,

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: we'll learn to love it. I think we'll build along

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: the way. But there is no doubt that the you know,

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: stylistically any way, that the landscape totally changes.

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And you know we're going to be

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: unwrapping some of those presents under the tree in that

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: first quarter on Sunday, on those first couple of drives

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense that returns a lot of

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: playmakers from last year. We'll get into that, but yeah,

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: a ton to break down today, including a breakdown of

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: those Jaguars, those blueprints that it always puts together. We're

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: gonna get to those in just a matter of moments.

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: But before we do all of that, we've talked about

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: the Colts. We've recapped training camp, we have recapped those

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: preseason games. But I think before we get into the Jaguars,

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: rick we have to again emphasize and bold underline any

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: way we can to highlight the fact that the Colts

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: must improve in a few key areas in order to

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: avoid that four to twelve and one season from a

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: year ago. The big ones, turnovers and red zone. Red

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: zone on both sides of the ball, the Colts were

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: dead lasting giveaways last season. They didn't take the ball

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: away like they did the year before on defense, and

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: then really struggled in the red zone. Defensively, they were

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: last in the NFL and keeping teams out of the

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: end zone once they got inside the twenty yard line.

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: It just seemed like rick. Once a team generated some

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: momentum and got enough big plays to get inside the twenty,

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: that was almost like an automatic seven points, especially towards

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: the end of last season. And when things unraveled there

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: towards the end in late November and December.

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it, Matt and you you talked

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: about it all season long in terms of the you know,

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: the turnover issues. And we said so many times if

78
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: we just you know, as bad as things were sometimes,

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: if we just held.

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Onto the ball and just punt right, just punt hunt.

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't get a sack fumble. Just if you get

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: a sack, we'll punt it and we'll play some more.

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: And I do believe that those two issues in the

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: final analysis, and this is about my fortieth year now,

85
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: either coaching or covering the NFL alone, not much much

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: less college. But I think the two factors. If you

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: want to look at statistics and you want to look

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: at playoff teams over the years, there really is two

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: areas that define you either good or bad. And the

90
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: first one is the turnover differential. And this was a

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: monumental swing for US. I mean, you know, at the

92
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: end of twenty one, we we were the second best

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: team in the National Football League. We were a plus

94
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: fourteen in twenty and twenty one, and you know, a

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: couple things there. We did protect the ball, you know,

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: we weren't giving it up, and then our defense was

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: taking it away, and of course a lot of that

98
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: was you know, Shaq Leonard, there isn't any doubt about that.

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: But in the end, you know, we were right at

100
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: the top of the league and dusk, you know, we

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: had a winning record. You know this year, you know,

102
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: you go back to two twenty, fast forward to twenty two,

103
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: and everything falls apart. We're giving it away every time.

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: It seems like every time the quarterbacks got sacked, the

105
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: ball was on the ground. We go to the bottom,

106
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: I mean, from number two to the bottom. That's just

107
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: unheard of right, be honest with you, in one season

108
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: to go to thirty two, to go a plus fourteen

109
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: to a minus thirteen, you know, and again we didn't

110
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: protect the ball. We you know, when we didn't move

111
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: it on first down. We got way too many situations

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: where we're playing in you know, in disadvantage. Our quarterbacks

113
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: didn't take care of the ball, both with fumbles, an

114
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: inordinate amount of fumbles. I think. Then we have like

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: eleven in the first five games and something like crazy.

116
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: Led the league last year in fumbles for the season.

117
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: Led the league. And then we didn't, you know. And

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: then the other the other thing was is we weren't

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: able to take it away. And I think there's two

120
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: things there. I think number one, when you know, very

121
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: seldom play from a lead. When you're always playing from behind.

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: My experience on defense, you don't get many turnovers because

123
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 3: teams when they have the lead on you in the NFL,

124
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: they'll button it up a little bit, they will be

125
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: much more careful. You don't have those great opportunities when

126
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: they're always playing from advantage. And then you know, we

127
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: lost a very special guy. I mean, you know, Leonard

128
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: is just an amazing guy. I don't even consider Leonard

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: a linebacker. I don't, you know, I really don't if

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: he's if he's not playing at times, I'm fine with

131
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: Speed and Franklin, they're really good linebacker. But he just

132
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: has that uncanny. I've never seen anything like it. Really.

133
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: I've seen safeties like that, and sometimes I think he

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: plays more like a safety than a linebacker. But nobody

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: has that, you know, that just turn and he always

136
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: seemed to be able to make it in game changing situations.

137
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: That's the other thing. You know, so many times he

138
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: just turned the game around. So you know, hopefully we

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: get him back, you know, hopefully offensively, we protect the ball,

140
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: and I think more importantly, score some points, get ahead,

141
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: and then you know, give our defense more opportunities, you know,

142
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: to get the defense in disadvantage if you like. For instance,

143
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: well we'll talk about it later, but we get Jacksonville

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: in disadvantage. They got some real issues at tackle going

145
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: into that opener where you can rush them and get

146
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: some stripped sacks and things like that. So there's no

147
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: question about the turnover differential. I think when I I

148
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: think I've studied playoff teams over the years, and the

149
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: only team that violated that that ever really won without

150
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: necessarily the turnover race. Show in their favor was the

151
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: Rams in the two thousand, the greatest show on turf,

152
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: and that was simply because they just outscored themoun If

153
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: they needed forty one, they'd get forty one. You know,

154
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: but that was really an anomaly. It just doesn't happen.

155
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: And then the second thing, and of course you know

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm picky on this. You know, you've been working with

157
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: me for a long time, and you know I was

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: just a red zone freak as a coach. I just

159
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: think that you know, the ball in the National Football League,

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: you know it will go between the twenties. I mean

161
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: will it will travel between the twenties. We talked about,

162
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: you know how hard it is to drive, you know,

163
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: eighty yards for a touchdown. And I think one of

164
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: the problems the Colts had a year ago was we

165
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: only had three scores in the whole season from outside

166
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: the twenty. Now, the only reason I'm bringing that up is,

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: you know, you don't score many points, you know, if

168
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: you don't get big plays, and then that all means

169
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: the very importance of getting it in in that red zone.

170
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: And on offense, we ended up twenty ninth, and then

171
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: on defense we ended up thirty second. Now, the irony

172
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: of the defense was we played really good red zone

173
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: the first half. I mean, we really did. Our first

174
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: half defense in the first half of the season was

175
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: pretty good and it just didn't just kind of collapsed,

176
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the year. So you know,

177
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: that's something that we've got to get in there. I

178
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: think Richardson gives us a real advantage, and I will

179
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 3: compare him a little bit because stylistically the stich In

180
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: connection is there. But if you look at how difficult

181
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: it is to defense a Lamar Jackson or a Jalen

182
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: Hurts in the red zone because they can spread you.

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: We saw it live last year. They can spread you

184
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: and still have like a tailback like the old single

185
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: wing tailback at quarterback, which really stresses you. We saw it,

186
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 3: you know, with Hurts in that game here, and I

187
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: saw it a little bit, and we didn't we didn't

188
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: show a lot of it, but I saw it in

189
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: that red zone period against the Bears when we were

190
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: in that second day and Richardson, they ran him on

191
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: three or four key kind of plays down in there

192
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: and he really looked good, and I think that can

193
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: really give us an edge, you know, from that standpoint

194
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: of course, and I think, you know, and this will

195
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: be a key to all our offense. It's gonna be

196
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: our outside receivers. Our outside receivers in that red zone

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: are gonna have They're gonna get one on one with

198
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: Richardson and they're gonna get it all day, but they're

199
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: definitely gonna get it down there. And so basically our

200
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: you know, our wide receivers are gonna have to make

201
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: catch fifty to fifty balls. I think that's the other

202
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: other place that we can really improve, you know. And

203
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: then on defense, it will come down again on that

204
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: red zone. It'll come down to the two things we

205
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: talked about all season long, and they kind of go

206
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: with the whole team is generating pass rush, you know,

207
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: both physically, particularly on the edge and blitzing. And then

208
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: you know, will our corners be able to hold up

209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: for seventeen weeks? So you know, but again, red zone

210
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: defines you I always, you know, I've been with some

211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: teams that you know, maybe were seventeenth or eighteenth in

212
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: terms of total defense, but they ended up being successful

213
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: because they would be in the top five on red zone.

214
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: So again, everything, it's really everything, and you know, the

215
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: only the only thing that I would add to the equation.

216
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: I think those two things are number one. I think

217
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: if you do, if you improved dramatically in those two areas,

218
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: we're going to be a contender. And the only other

219
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: thing I would say, and you and I have talked

220
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: about this, and this is a you know, both sides

221
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: of the ball, is the game is won in the

222
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: fourth quarter in the NFL. I mean, you know, I

223
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: think you pointed it out to me. I think last

224
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: year was I think, if I'm not mistaken, it was

225
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: the shortest distance it was, I think a point one.

226
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: It was the you know, the least increment in history

227
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: of the NFL. That was. Yeah, the differential average was

228
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: eight point one, which is basically telling you and I

229
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: know that without a statistic, but I know it's the

230
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: NFL is a one possession game and it comes down

231
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: to the fourth quarter, and you know, we've got to

232
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: be able to eat clock and kill it in four

233
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: minutes and then we've got to you know, that was

234
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: our other real hang up is we didn't stop people

235
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter and so you know, if you

236
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: throw those three things, turnover, differential, red zone, and then

237
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: fourth quarter play. I think that's if we want to

238
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: go from whatever we were for twelve and one and

239
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: we want to be a contender, I think it's you

240
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: can just point out those areas. Yeah. No.

241
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: To drive home the point, the average margin of victory

242
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: last year in the NFL for the entire season league wide,

243
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: the average margin of victory in a game during the

244
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two regular season nine point seven points. That

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: was the league's lowest for a full season since nineteen

246
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: thirty two. Last year, the NFL set a record for

247
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: most games decided by eight points or fewer, so one

248
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: score games one hundred and fifty six one score games

249
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 2: across the NFL last year, and the Colts rick they

250
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: fall righting in that bucket, right. They lost six games

251
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: by seven points or less. The Colts were four to

252
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: six and one and one score games last year. In

253
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: the last two seasons they are six eleven and one

254
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: and one score games. So they're not that far, but

255
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 2: that's the NFL, right. They all come down to the

256
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: last four or five minutes of the fourth quarter.

257
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: The NFL has successfully created a League of parody. And

258
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: you know, if you look at the four to twelve

259
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: and one and you want to be depressed, that's your business.

260
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: But if you look at the big picture and peel

261
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: the onion a little bit, Yeah, despite how bad we

262
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: felt coming out of there, we were competitive, weakning in

263
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: every game, Yeah, in every game, and so you know, again,

264
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: clean up these things, you know, improve, you know, hopefully

265
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: we get big plays out of the quarterback and the

266
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: defense has a year under their belt, so you know,

267
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: I don't and you know what, our champion who's coming

268
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: in here this Sunday was nine and eight, so we

269
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: don't need to coordinate them either. And we'll get into

270
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: that now.

271
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all right, let's talk about game week for

272
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: the first time. The Jaguars are up first. As you said,

273
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: they're nine to eight, but they did win the AFC

274
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: South Championship last year. They won seven of their last

275
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: nine in order to get on a run to claim

276
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: that division championship for the first time since twenty seventeen.

277
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: And this is coming off a three to fourteen season

278
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. So the Jaguars, they rank first

279
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: in the NFL in win differential from twenty twenty one

280
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two, and they became just the third

281
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: team since the nineteen seventy merger ricked a draft first

282
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: overall and win their division the following season. So it

283
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: seems like everybody's picking the Jaguars to win the AFC

284
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: South again. This year, Doug Peterson was named NFL one

285
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: h one A Coach of the Year. He was one

286
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: of three finalists for the NFL Coach of the Year

287
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: last year. Trevor Lawrence looked like one of the best

288
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL in the second half of last year,

289
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: and reports are now he's just beaming with confidence going

290
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: into his third season. They've got playmakers everywhere around him

291
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: on offense. Rick, this is just going to be a

292
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: stiff challenge for the Colts right out of the gate,

293
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: and it looks like this might be a difficult challenge

294
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: in the sense that the Colts are looking for that

295
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: first Week one win for the first time since twenty thirteen.

296
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question about it. And that's got to end.

297
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean, we have to end that. You know, you

298
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: talked about this earlier. I listened to you on a

299
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: couple of shows. As you know, the home field advent

300
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: has been good. It has been good to a team.

301
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: So you know, we're starting out at home, and I

302
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: think that's definitely a good thing. There isn't a question.

303
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: I think this team is uber, you know, kind of

304
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: uber hyped, to be honest with you, they have mighty

305
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: mighty expectations. You know. Doug Peterson is probably a little

306
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: bit of an underrated, kind of an under the radar

307
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: guy that's you know, done pretty well. He's won a championship,

308
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: you know with the Eagles, and you know, he did

309
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: a terrific job. You know, they were a mess when

310
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: he came in there, and you know, they didn't really

311
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: start out that good, but they stayed the course. They

312
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: played really great down the head. They had to play

313
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: frantically and good down the stretch, and they did it.

314
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: You know. You know, I do think that this is

315
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: a team we've talked about this that kind of certifies

316
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: that the NFL system works. I mean, if it's a

317
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: system based on parody, and if you have several bad

318
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: years like they have, you end up with you know,

319
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: a ton of a lottery picks, and if you do

320
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: a good job, you know, we'll get into it. I mean,

321
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: they got a lottery pick at quarterback. They got two

322
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: lottery picks on the edge on defense. I mean, you know, so,

323
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: I mean, really the system works if you do the

324
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: right things. You know, I think it, you know, it

325
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: does start with quarterback. I mean, I think he is.

326
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: He has he really lived up to the height, particularly

327
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: in the last nine games. If you look at his

328
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: overall deal, he was fifteenth QBR, but he was elite.

329
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: He was up in the top three in almost every

330
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: category in the last nine weeks. So you know, and

331
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: you're right, they have a lot of skill. You know,

332
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: they got up. You know, they were criticized a year

333
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 3: ago for going out and getting perimeter players and you

334
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: know in Ingram, you know, and Kirk and Jones, and

335
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: they were criticized for overpaying them. But you know what,

336
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, when your division, who cares about that? You know,

337
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: really it's it's do they make your team better? And

338
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: then of course you know, now they've acquired Ridley, who

339
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: has you know, hasn't played in a couple of years,

340
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: but he has the makings. You know, they again they

341
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: had another lottery pick in Etienne at running backs, so

342
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 3: you know, they you know, they've been able to do that,

343
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: and you know, defensively, it's it's kind of the same thing.

344
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: You know, they're you know, their their coach by a

345
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: kid that I coached in Mike Calwell, who I think

346
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: is a really young star in this league. They're very

347
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: modern on defense. You know, we'll get into all that.

348
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: Their numbers aren't defense aren't tremendous, but they were pretty good.

349
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: They were fourteenth, you know, and points giving up, you know,

350
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: but they weren't fantastic. But you know, other than finally

351
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: we solved it. You know, they had really had our

352
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: number for two games in a row to twenty one

353
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: and two twenty two, and then you know, they shut

354
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 3: us out in that early season game. But then we

355
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 3: really handled them. We handled all of it in that

356
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: second game. I mean we really and that was a

357
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: course at home, like you talk about all the time.

358
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: But you know, we'll get into the specifics. But again,

359
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: you know, they're they're very talented. You know. The big

360
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: three things that I always look for when I first

361
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: study a team is it kind of tells you what

362
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: a team is. Points giving up fourteenth, QBR fifteenth. I

363
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 3: think that's a misleading because by the end of the year,

364
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 3: he would have been the su Yeah, and then their

365
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: turnover turnover differential their number seven. So that's a good formula,

366
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: not a great formula. It's not, you know, like the

367
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 3: Eagles who were in the top four and all that stuff.

368
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: But it's a good formula and it will be a

369
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 3: you know, there's no question about it that it's going

370
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: to be a real challenge, but it isn't one. It's

371
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: not one that I don't think we can really handle,

372
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: to be honest with you.

373
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: All Right, well, let's break out those blueprints. Let's start

374
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: with the Jaguars on offense first against the Colt Steve fence.

375
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: The orchestrators of that offense down in Jacksonville. You've got

376
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson, a former NFL quarterback and offensive coordinator. You've

377
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 2: got Press Taylor, who was on Frank Reich's staff as

378
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: an assistant before leaving for Jacksonville last year. They've done

379
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: a nice job, as you said, of turning Trevor Lawrence

380
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: into one of the best quarterbacks in the game, especially

381
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: towards the back half of last season when he was

382
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: second to the NFL and completion percentage and passer rating,

383
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: and he also threw fifteen touchdowns to only two picks

384
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: in the last nine games of the season last year,

385
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: and unsurprisingly, they went seven to two in those games.

386
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: But he seems to play his best for whatever reason,

387
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: rick against the Colts. In two games last year, he

388
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: combined to complete eighty six percent of his passes, and

389
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: in four games career wise, Lawrence is completing seventy percent

390
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: of his throws against the Colts. That's the highest against

391
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: any team inside the AFC South. And again, they are

392
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: loaded at the skill positions. They've got Christian Kirk, Zay Jones,

393
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram. All of those guys set crew highs and

394
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: catches and yards in their first seasons in Jacksonville. Last year,

395
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: running back Travis Etn ran for eleven hundred yards after

396
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: missing his rookie season. They finished tenth in scoring and

397
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: tenth in total offense. But now they've added former thirteen

398
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: hundred yard receiver Calvin Ridley. He was the highlight of

399
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: training camp in the preseason his return from nearly two

400
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 2: years of absence after state away for mental health reasons

401
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one and a gambling suspension in twenty

402
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: twenty two. So the only chink in the armor might

403
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: be their offensive line. Cam Robinson has been suspended for

404
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: four games for violating the ped policy. They've got a

405
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: rookie and Anton Harrison at right tackle, but he's a

406
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: highly coveted rookie, if you will. He's a first round

407
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: draft pick, late first round draft pick there for the

408
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. So, Rick, that's kind of the skinny on

409
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: their offense. What else stands out to you about their

410
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: offense going into this game and certainly the season as

411
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: the Colts try to get a leg up on the

412
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Jaguars inside the AFC South.

413
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's no question about it.

414
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: You hit it. I mean, the quarterback had the big year,

415
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: he took the big step. You know, he struggled, you

416
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: know as a rookie, you know, struggled in the Urban

417
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 3: Meyer system. But he came back with four thousand plus.

418
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: You know, the twenty five and eight is really really good.

419
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: Then you know the thing of this misleading about him

420
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: also two hundred and ninety one yards rushing and five

421
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: t tds, and you alluded to the fact that he's

422
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: hurt us. And that's why when we get into the musk,

423
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about it. He's really hurt us

424
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: with his legs a lot. I mean a lot. I

425
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: mean he's gotten outside uh and and clear downfill passing

426
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: lanes by extending UH. He's made key first downs in

427
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: the you know, in the winds that they had they

428
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: had kind of had a streak going against us. You know,

429
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: he's he's he's very He's a deceptively really good athlete. Uh.

430
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: You know, Etn is a home run hitter. If you

431
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 3: don't keep him boxed, you know, he can take it

432
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: to the house again. Ridly brings in the multi talented guy.

433
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: And I want to talk about those guys because I

434
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: think when you're defending them, it's really they all have

435
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: specific roles and it's really important how you defend them

436
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: and how you play each guy a little bit differently,

437
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 3: you know, I think, you know, I do think that

438
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: they do have an Achilles heel. I don't. I'm never

439
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: I've never been that high on Robinson. He struggled against us,

440
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 3: but he's out, and that puts a little in there

441
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: who I think is a liability. They don't think so

442
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: they have a much higher feeling about their own team,

443
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: but I'm not seeing it. And then Harrison at right tackle.

444
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: You know when you play a rookie on the edge

445
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: right in that opener, I think, you know, I think

446
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 3: that can really be a problem. Now here's what I

447
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: think are the defensive blueprints and the must if we're

448
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: going to win this game. The first thing is is

449
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: we have to close the edges. I talk about this

450
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 3: all the time. And then they get mad on the

451
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 3: first series. You know when Lawrence gets out makes a

452
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: big completion, and Lawrence is a street player, is a

453
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 3: really hot players, as the great poet Wadsworth said one time,

454
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: and he's like the girl with the curve when he's

455
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 3: really good. When he's good, he's really good, and when

456
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: he's bad, he's really bad. So you can kind of

457
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: force the action, but you don't want to let him

458
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: get started. And the way he gets started is with

459
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: quick rhythm passing Matt and with bootlegs. You you can

460
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: almost predict that there's going to be a boot in

461
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: the first two series, quick rhythm stuff, because they know

462
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: if they get him hot, then he just gets almost devastating.

463
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: So set the edge, don't let him out. Set the

464
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: edge on Nten. Now, a lot of his edge stuff

465
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 3: is stuff that he starts inside and great explosiveness. So

466
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: you really have to have good discipline along the gaps.

467
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: You just can't turn your shoulders and fly there, because

468
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: again he's capable of the big play. And then the

469
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: guy that is seldom mentioned, but that is really good

470
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: loose play guy, good return guy, and he turned the

471
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 3: game around a couple years ago against US is Agnew

472
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: as the gadget player. Right. Okay, he's a guy that

473
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 3: comes in number thirty nine. He'll come in, you know,

474
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: for one of those wide receivers. The next thing, you know,

475
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: he runs a speed sweep on your edge. So I

476
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: think again, Number one, close the edge. They'll kill you

477
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: there if you're not careful when you're rushing Lawrence, you

478
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 3: not only have to contain him, but you have to

479
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 3: have good rush lanes. This guy will scramble inside and

480
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: he can move the change third and eight. He has

481
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 3: no trouble, you know, finding an inside lane and going.

482
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: We have to be really disciplined from that standpoint. Number one,

483
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: close the edge, okay. Number two keep Etian and now

484
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: Biggsby is the rookie who gives them kind of a banger.

485
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: The two of those are complementary players. You want to

486
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: keep them boxed all day. You want to totally stop

487
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: the running game, which we're capable of. We have a

488
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: very good run front seven. There's no doubt in my mind.

489
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 3: You want no running game, no break no breakouts. And

490
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: what you want them, particularly where their offensive line is.

491
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 3: You want to make them play a one dimensional passing game.

492
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: You don't want to let them use the whole field.

493
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: You know, get in third and three all day. You

494
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: want that running game stuffed. Okay, you just have to

495
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: stuff the running game. Number three. I think you have

496
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 3: to understand their receiver roles really good, and you have

497
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: to defend them accordingly. Number one. They're gonna work like

498
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: heck to get you strong formations to their right and

499
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: get Ridley one on one on the weak side. They

500
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 3: may motion to trips, they may line up in the

501
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 3: trips bunch. They're gonna set the formation one way and

502
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna try to isolate you, and I think it'll

503
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: particularly be on Flowers. They're gonna try to win one

504
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: on one with Ridley quicks and then double moves to go.

505
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: So basically you got to understand that if they go

506
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: three by one, you got you can't overbalance the coverage

507
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: away from Ridley. You gotta go and and there's sometimes

508
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 3: in the game you'll hear me say this, don't play

509
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: all day one on one on Ridley. You've got to

510
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: have some coverage help to him on the back side,

511
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: you know. And then underneath Kirk, Kirk is the all

512
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: purpose guy, key third down when they need a play.

513
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: Kirk is the guys well over a thousand yards. That

514
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: was the biggest acquisition. You know. They said they paid

515
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: way too much, but again, who cares after you win

516
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: a division, you know, I mean he had eighty four catches.

517
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: I think he had over I know it's like eleven

518
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: hundred plus, and he was thirteen to two in terms,

519
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of with the ball, pretty good

520
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 3: yak and all that stuff. So again, key third downs

521
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: and stuff. You know, make sure you got Kirk again.

522
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: The Ingram can be a very difficult matchup. Be careful

523
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: on who. A lot of times what they'll do is

524
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 3: they'll put three receivers, three wideouts to one side and

525
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: leave him on the weak side, like we do sometimes

526
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: with Grandson. If you end up walking a linebacker out there,

527
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: you know they're gonna go after them and Angram is

528
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 3: a very good receiver. Now, my overall view, I think

529
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: and I think Zay Jones is solid, but he's a

530
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: possession guy. Okay. My overall view with them is we've

531
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: got a crowd of map we've got to press them.

532
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 3: We've got to we've got to close those inside lanes

533
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: and quick lanes. They're not totally explosive, but they're very classic.

534
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys can run route, they're gonna catch

535
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: the ball. They're experienced. I mean, they're gonna do everything

536
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: to and if you play soft zone and you give

537
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: them free access, I'm just telling you. They're not explosive,

538
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: but they'll shred you, you know. And when they've had

539
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: their big days, it's because we have played soft zones.

540
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: We haven't pressed them, we haven't taken them away, and

541
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: they get real hot with that quick passing game. And

542
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: the next thing, you know, the quarterbacks off and run.

543
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: And this one last thing is don't play one on

544
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: one on the all day, all right, number four. Take

545
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: advantage of their weakness at tackle, and I think you

546
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: can do that. I think don't be afraid at rush

547
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: five where they're isolated, they can't get any help. Don't

548
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: be afraid to run your exes, exits and texas on

549
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: those guys. You know, both of them really are not

550
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: starters at tackles, so you know they're going to have

551
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: some issues with their guards picking up stunts and just

552
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: pure reads and counters on that. On those guys, I think, basically,

553
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: and part of that is playing really good on first down,

554
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: like I said, stopping the run, no big plays, and

555
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: forcing them into more second and tens, more third and longs.

556
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: You know, I think both sides of the ball, the

557
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: team that the team that plays from advantage on third down,

558
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: you know, the third and threes versus the third and

559
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: eight's going to be the team that's successful. And again

560
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: you've got to force these guys in third and eights.

561
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: And I think, regardless of what their status sheet says,

562
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: I think they're vulnerable to the pass rush. I really do.

563
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: And I and sometimes, just like Allen from Buffalo, I

564
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: see the quarterback come unraveled. I've seen him come unraveled again,

565
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: So again, get them in disadvantage and get after him.

566
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: And then I would say, you know, the other thing

567
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: you know we talked about is just this is and

568
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: this was our one of our weaknesses. Just fight to

569
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: the death strategically and effort wise and win that fourth quarter.

570
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: We've already talked about it. You did a great job

571
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: on that. It's a one possession league. Again, we have

572
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: to defend at crunch time. It's gotta be in our heads.

573
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: It's got to be driven in our heads. If that

574
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: game is on the line in the fourth quarter, we

575
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: are gonna stand up and we are not gonna let

576
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: them score.

577
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: That's Rick Venturi. This is Inside Football breaking down the

578
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: Colts and the Jaguars the blueprints. Let's break out the

579
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: Jaguars on defense, how they match up against the Colts

580
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: and Anthony richardson right out of the gate, the Jaguars

581
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: last season, they were a good defense, not a great defense,

582
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: as you said. They They do, though, return a bunch

583
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: of continuity from last year's squad. They held teams to

584
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: twenty points per game, held six opponents to under that,

585
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: including shutting out the Colts in Week two. Last season,

586
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: they were pretty good at slowing down the run, but

587
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: very susceptible in the passing game. They ranked twenty eighth

588
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: in passing yards per game at two thirty eight. They

589
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: also didn't have a great pass rush last season under

590
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell, they only wrecked up thirty five sacks,

591
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: which isn't a lot for a team that blitzed on

592
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: a division high twenty five percent of the time. So

593
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: schematically they're very aggressive. They did pose a problem for

594
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: the Colts in that bare front, as you like to

595
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: call it, ric or that double sync defense by the

596
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: defensive line. Their best defensive player is their linebacker Foyer

597
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: Ola con He posted a team high one and twenty

598
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: eight solo tackles last season. He also led the NFL

599
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: in both solo tackles and total tackles with one hundred

600
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: and eighty four. So how do you expect Anthony Richardson

601
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: to fare against the Jaguars defensively on Sunday? Rick, How

602
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: good of a test is this early for a rookie quarterback.

603
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: Well, it'll be a really good test, but it'll be

604
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: less of a test if we can establish ourselves on

605
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: first down. And I'm going to get into that. You know,

606
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a big part of that. Though. You

607
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: know what, the Jacksonville Jaguars good to us two games

608
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 3: in a row where they really stuffed us offensively. Until

609
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 3: the second game last year. Is they basically took our

610
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: running game away totally with that bear defense, and then

611
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: the way they got after us with the pass was

612
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: with stunts and blitzes. You know, those text games just

613
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: killed us in that first game, in that shutout last year.

614
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: So what you don't want to do is get behind

615
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: the count on Calwell. Cayle Well does his best job

616
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: if he gets second and long and third and long,

617
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: you know, and particularly when he gets because he will

618
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: get in. He'll get much more sophisticated on those long

619
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: yardage downs, both with coverage and with blitzes and stunts.

620
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: And that's so it's so important you know, when you

621
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: bring Anthony into the equation that you stay ahead of

622
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: the count and that you you end up either with

623
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: first downs or you end up third and three not

624
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: third and a. You've heard me say this a million times.

625
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: My history of forty years tells me there's a seventy

626
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: five percent swing from the offense good and bad, from

627
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: thirty three to thirty, from third and three to third

628
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: and eight. So you know, that is so so critical.

629
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. Now you know where they're talented,

630
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: and they don't have as many sacks as you would think.

631
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: You were exactly right on that for a team that

632
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: pressures as much. And they have two lottery picks on

633
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: the outside that is Allen who was the seventh pick

634
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: in the draft, and you got Walker who was the

635
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: first pick in this draft on the edge, and then

636
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 3: they can come in with Chase on on third day.

637
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, technically they're really really dangerous,

638
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: you know, and I think sometimes you just throw out

639
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: the statistic and get ready for them, you know, in

640
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 3: that regard. And they're pretty you know, they're a team

641
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: that's kind of solid everywhere without a lot of liabilities,

642
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: but not not that I thought the best way you

643
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 3: put it is good but not great. It's good but

644
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: not great. The two linebackers are really really act you

645
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: know really uh you know, they're very very active and

646
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: they make a lot of plays. Like you said, Ola

647
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: Khan is uh you know, a tackling machine. Uh. You know,

648
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 3: a Lloyd is a guy that's come in and has

649
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: a lot of ability, and sometimes with him when they're

650
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 3: in the Nickel fore Man line, they'll end up putting

651
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: him up on the line and it'll be they'll get

652
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: into their bear that way when they only have the

653
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 3: four man line rather than the five man lines. So

654
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: you know, that's that's all the things they have. I

655
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 3: think their corners, you know, Campbell, Williams, and Herndon are

656
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: all pretty solid. I'm going to get into this because

657
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: but they really struggle to In Game two against US,

658
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: they we torched him, Pittan and Pierce torched them. Now,

659
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 3: I mean it was pretty amazing and you know that

660
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: hadn't happened, and so you know, again they're beatable. You know,

661
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: I think Jenkins is really a good player. I mean,

662
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 3: he's the guy that you know is really right at

663
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: the top of tackling, you know it picks, you know, breakups.

664
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he's really a top guy. And Cisco is

665
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 3: a good young player. So again, now I do think

666
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: I do think losing Hamilton hurts them. He's the one

667
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 3: guy he like, Like you said, they went into the

668
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: season injury free, but they've lost Hamilton I think for

669
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: a month, and he's a real solid nose tackle, which

670
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: I think opens them up to more runs. And then

671
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: the guy that has always played better against us. You

672
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 3: talked about the quarterback, The guy has played better against

673
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: US as Robinson, Robertson Harris, you know who really kind

674
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 3: of goes unnoticed inside there. But he's given our guards

675
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: problem for some reason, you know, in that respect. But

676
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: here's the thing I think you know, from a from

677
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: an offensive standpoint, the blueprint to beat him and the

678
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: must are very you know, our desks. Number one, we've

679
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: got to establish Richardson's threat on the edge. That doesn't

680
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: mean you have to run him every play, but you

681
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: have to run him enough early to loosen that bear front.

682
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: Because what they did a year ago without a movement

683
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: quarterback and lead plays with a fullback, they just went

684
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 3: baar eight man front and there's no day I mean

685
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: there's no daylight because you got you got everybody boxed

686
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: in there, you got contained at the end, and you

687
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: can't it's hard to run into that big three on

688
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 3: your guards and centers. So now with richards and what

689
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: you've picked up is you've picked up a guy that

690
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 3: can beat him on the edge, you know, and a

691
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 3: guy that even when he's not beating him, he can

692
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: freeze either the safety of the linebacker or that size

693
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: and the defensive end they can't flow as quickly. Now.

694
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 3: The reason that's so important. It's just you know, just

695
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: from the standpoint that he can gain yards. That's the

696
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: obvious reason. But the other thing it does, Matt is

697
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: it loosens up that inside five now and so now

698
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 3: you can come back and you can pound it where

699
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 3: we couldn't a year ago. The other thing that I

700
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 3: like is to get in three wide receiver sets because

701
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: then in three wide receiver sets they tend to get

702
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 3: in nickel, and then when they get in nickel, there's

703
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: much less bare. They're much four man line over and now,

704
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 3: particularly without Hamilton, you can pound with your running backs.

705
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 3: There's no doubt in my mind. I think it's really important.

706
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 3: Along with this Richardson thing is to keep the running

707
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: game alive, to keep them off balance. Again, I do

708
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: believe they're more athletic than they are physical, and it's

709
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: really important to be able to establish the threat and

710
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: some run so that you keep AR five out of

711
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: disadvantaged third situations where those blitzes, stunts and coverages come in.

712
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: Number two. Okay, we have got to be willing, and

713
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: we see Philadelphia do it. We have to and we

714
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: you know that is our model. We have to be

715
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 3: able to do it. What Mike does is he's very

716
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 3: predictable on first down. On first down, he's gonna give

717
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: you bear or he's gonna give you a heavy eight

718
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 3: man front. There's it's it's sometimes it's man, sometimes it's zone.

719
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: But they they are gonna do that. They're gonna be

720
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 3: in some kinpe of single high, three deep and Matt

721
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: we've got to go after the corners. Okay, we have to.

722
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: We have to go after Campbell, we have to go

723
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 3: after Williams, and we've got to go after him deep

724
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 3: because if they get up and press, they'll take away

725
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: the screen game in the RPO game. So again, like

726
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: we see Philly, we've got to have confidence in our

727
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: guys and Pierce and Pittman have to step up in

728
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 3: this game. They have to, and they aren't gonna have

729
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: to step up all season because teams are gonna figure

730
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 3: out and they're gonna load against Anthony. They're going to

731
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: load against it. So and you got to get explosive plays.

732
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: I said that before I made that statement, we only

733
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 3: had three explosive plays. We only had three touchdowns outside

734
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 3: of the red zone, which is you know, very very low.

735
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: And we've got to be able to get that, and

736
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 3: you're going to get that. The other thing that I

737
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: would do is I think Grantson is a tough matchup.

738
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 3: You know, I thought, you know, I thought a year

739
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: ago he just really torched him. I you know, they

740
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: couldn't they really couldn't stay Their linebackers could not stay

741
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 3: with him in that second game last year. So we again,

742
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, Pittman had thirteen catches, Pierce had had three catches,

743
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: but forty nine yards in a touchdown, and Grantson made

744
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: some critical plays in there. So it isn't like we

745
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: haven't done that, but we've got to be willing to

746
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: do it now. The one thing I think is important

747
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: strategically is you want to get in slot with your

748
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: two tight end offense, and you want to get in

749
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: speed slot with your three wide receiver on early downs.

750
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: And the reason I say that is the one thing

751
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: about Mike's defense is he's going to show you. If

752
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: you go in slot and the corners come over, you're

753
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: telling Anthony ahead of time, it's man. Same way with

754
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 3: three wide receivers. If that nickel and that other corner

755
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: comes over, you're telling him it's man. If they stay home, okay,

756
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: you're telling the zone. Now, that's a gigantic help to

757
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback, and I think that's a fallacy of

758
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: their defense. But be willing to do that. You know, again,

759
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: you've got to be able to challenge them with the past.

760
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: We talked about it, they were twenty seven. You can

761
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 3: torch their corners and Pierce and Pittman will rise to

762
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 3: the occasion they did in Game two last year. Number three, Protection, protection, protection.

763
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: We've got to control those two outside guys. I know,

764
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: between the two of them they had ten and a

765
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 3: half sacks, but to me, they're very dangerous. I think

766
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: Allen is one of the better combination linebacker rushers in

767
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: the league. And they say Walker is ready to explode.

768
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 3: He's got tremendous talents. So again, we've got to be

769
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: able to protect the edge on those two guys. Now,

770
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 3: the other thing, and this is just historic, It's not

771
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 3: something that I'm making up. If you look when they

772
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 3: played really good against us, it's with those line stunts.

773
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 3: It's the text game, the tackle end game, the end

774
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: tackle game, and then the ISO and occasionally those bare

775
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: blitzes where they get in bare and they come right

776
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 3: up the middle with the stack linebacker and drop the

777
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: edge guys, and those things killed us in game one

778
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 3: last year in the shutout. They just kill us. And

779
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: so you know you're going to absolutely get that, no

780
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: question about that. The number four, and we talked about

781
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: this in the prelude, is we have to dominate the

782
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: red zone. This is a team that really struggled. You know,

783
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: they were fourteenth and points given up, but they were

784
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: twenty fifth in the red zone. And this is I

785
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: think the fact that we have Anthony, a guy that

786
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: can really change the game in that red zone. I

787
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: think that's where you really got to use them. And

788
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: that's where it's really that's where we have to dominate.

789
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 3: You know, if you're going to score points, you're gonna

790
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 3: do it with explosive plays. And then more importantly, you've

791
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 3: got to drive it through that end zone. So everybody

792
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: has to make that commitment. And then number five and

793
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 3: if you do the first four things, number five will come.

794
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 3: It really comes down to it. We didn't talk about

795
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: it in the prelude. We have to score, Matt. We

796
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: just have to score. I mean, we averaged we are

797
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: number thirtieth seventeen points in twenty two. That's got to change,

798
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 3: you know nowadays. You know, when I was coaching in

799
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 3: the NFL, we used to say that if you can

800
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 3: hold teams to seventeen a game, you would be a

801
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 3: playoff defense. Well now that's up. You know, it's probably

802
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 3: twenty if today. But if you're on offense, you have

803
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 3: to go the opposite. It has to be you got

804
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: to think twenty four to twenty five minimum if you're

805
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 3: going to win. And again, part of that is red zone.

806
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: Part of that is explosive plays. You know, part of

807
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: that is your defense turnovers and giving you some shots.

808
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 3: I also think that this is a team. I've watched

809
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: them pretty close. They're athletic, but they're not a good

810
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 3: perimeter tackling team. They're really not. So I think there's

811
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 3: a mentality that goes into it. This week. I think

812
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: we have to think big plays. Our skill guys got

813
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 3: to step up. They got to know that they're not

814
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: a perimeter tackling team. Run after the catch, you know,

815
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 3: yack after the catch, run after the first hit. I

816
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 3: think our skill guys have to think, not, you know,

817
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: not what the playbook gives you, but let's take it

818
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 3: to the house. You know. I just think I think

819
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: we just have to generate explosive plays, whether it's passing

820
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: game or whether it's run after the catch. You know,

821
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 3: certainly like to see downs be a part of that. Yeah,

822
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 3: in that respect.

823
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. You know, to kind of

824
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: piggyback off of your theory there on the Jaguar not

825
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: being a great tackling team. They were actually second in

826
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 2: the NFL last year and missed tackles with one hundred

827
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: and sixty two of them. The only team that missed

828
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 2: more tackles were the Houston Texans inside the AFC South.

829
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: So that's something to monitor this week and next week

830
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 2: against the Houston Texans. All right, Rick, to wrap up,

831
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: we know about the streaks going into this game, right.

832
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 2: The Colts have won five in a row at home

833
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars. The Colts haven't won a Week one

834
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: game since twenty thirteen. Anthony Richardson on Sunday becomes the

835
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 2: youngest quarterback ever to start a game for the Colts.

836
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: Shane Steikin makes his head coaching debut at age thirty eight.

837
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: The Colts seemingly have no outside national expectations. The Jaguars

838
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: have all the expectations on them. I think this is

839
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: a great chance for the Colts to show what they are,

840
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: what their identity is. We're gonna find all of that

841
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: out in real time. But it's a great barometer game

842
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: against one of the best teams in the AFC, certainly

843
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: the AFC South. But I think the conference in itself

844
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 2: right out of the gate in week number one.

845
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I think this is a

846
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 3: great opportunity to really begin the new era with the bank.

847
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're talented, but the reality is

848
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 3: they had to. They had a miraculous finish to go

849
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: nine to eight. I think to some degree they're overhyped,

850
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: I think, which is good. And this is a you

851
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: know you've been You played the game. I played the game,

852
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: I coached the game. It's very different when you go

853
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 3: from the hunter to the hunted. When you're the hunter,

854
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: a little bit like we are now, you're kind of

855
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: playing on house money. You don't play with that same tent,

856
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 3: you don't have to play with that same tension. Now,

857
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 3: as soon as you're the hunted, you have an expectancy

858
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: to win all and particularly when you haven't done it

859
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: for a long time, all of a sudden that's very different.

860
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 3: That's why I think it's so important. Lucas, you know,

861
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: will be rocket. I mean we've seen it in practice

862
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 3: out there Grand Park. Lucas will be rocking. And this

863
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 3: series has been good to the home team, you know.

864
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 3: I think one of the keys and I think, you know,

865
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: Shane can get this across to them. We should just

866
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 3: play loose and free. I'm telling you they're gonna be

867
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 3: tight as a drum if we come out and just

868
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: let it go. Don't be over tight, know what we

869
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 3: got to do, but just don't get paralyzed. Just go

870
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 3: out there and play. You know, you're not gonna win

871
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 3: every battle, you know, but you got to win the

872
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: sixty minute or at the end. That's why so much

873
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: I put on the fourth quarter, you know. And again

874
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 3: it'd just be about every guy doing your job. You're

875
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: not gonna have to do some superior you know. You're not.

876
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 3: You're not you know, and you're not clowning it climbing

877
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: the hills at Norman. You're just doing your job and

878
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 3: you can kick their butt. To be honest with you,

879
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 3: it'll it always comes down the team that protects the

880
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 3: ball and the team that takes it. Away. You know,

881
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 3: like you said, you know, it's been a very very

882
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: difficult nine years in this opener. Okay nine years. You

883
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 3: know we've lost the opener in the first two games

884
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: with lost fifteen out of eighteen. That's the reality. But

885
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 3: to me, that ends now, and let's start, and I

886
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: believe we can do this. Let's begin the Stike and

887
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 3: Richardson era with a tremendous day and a return to greatness.

888
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: There you go. That's Rick Venturrey. I'm telling you, Christmas

889
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: Morning comes on Sunday. It's week one, and we're gonna

890
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: get a really good look at the Colts and we'll

891
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: get some answers to those lingering questions we've had on

892
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 2: this team following the preseason and following training camp. Rick,

893
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I know you can't either. We've waited

894
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: a long time to get back into the booth. It's

895
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: been a long time since we've had a meaningful regular

896
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 2: season game together. So have a great rest of your

897
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 2: week and we'll see at Lucas Oil Stadium at seven

898
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 2: am on Sunday, because I know that's what time you're

899
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: gonna get there.

900
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 3: I can't wait, Matt, You're exactly right. And I'll tell

901
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 3: you this extended two week period before I'm telling you

902
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 3: what I will be there.

903
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 2: It's right, yep, you are. You're gonna be watching killing time.

904
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna be ass in seat early coming up on

905
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. We can't wait for it. Man,

906
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 2: have a great rest of the week and we'll look

907
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 2: forward to you on Sunday.

908
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: My friend, all right, Matt, talk to you.

909
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: Then you got a Rick Ventury right there. I'm Matt Taylor.

910
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 2: That is a very very good way to kick off

911
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: the regular season. The blueprints to knock off the Jacksonville

912
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 2: Jaguars for the Colts in Week one of the regular season.

913
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 2: That'll do it for this week's edition of Inside Football.

914
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: But as always reminder, we're here every Wednesday in the

915
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: regular season doing the exact same thing breaking down the

916
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,399
