1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: They welcome into overtime here on Colts dot Com, the

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Colts Audio Network, and the Colts Small Bile app. We're

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: live with you in the Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio studio.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor, Lara Overton, JJ Stangemitz, and the Colts

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: have made some headlines today. Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steiken

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: is the new head coach of your Indianapolis Colts. And

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: we know the Colts performed in long, exhaustive patient search

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: for the next head coach. They land on Shane Steiken,

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: who coached in the Super Bowl with the Eagles as

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a great NFL resume, has been in the NFL as

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: an assistant coach since twenty eleven. One of the bright

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: young offensive coaches in the game. He gets his shot

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: now to be a head coach in Indianapolis. So a

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. Will dive into a handful of

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: angles here on overtime again with Lara and JJ. Let's

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: dive right in. Lara, I'll start first with you, I mean,

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: just your initial reactions to this news. It comes about

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: a day, day and a half after the Super Bowl.

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: This is the trend that we're seeing across coaching moves

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: really to go with a young, innovative offensive mind. When

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: you look at this success that a program like Philadelphia

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: had under Nick Sirianni, look at what Cincinnati has done

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: with Zach Taylor. So many different examples of that. Sean

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: McVay of course, and the success he had leading the

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Rams to a super Bowl last year. So this is

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: really following some of the trend that we have seen.

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: And I think you're capitalizing on a time in which

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: the Colts have a very high draft pick and you

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: have an opportunity for this coach to step in and

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: begin to put his fingerprints upon a roster and upon

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: how this team identity is going to be moving forward.

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: When you look at the range of different quarterbacks he

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: has worked with, it gives you great promise for how

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: this team can continue to improve, because that was certainly

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: an area of concern last year that was lacking the

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: offensive production. Well, yeah, and Lara, the range of quarterbacks

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: is such a good point. That's something that really drew

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: me to Shane Steiken when I started diving into his

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: background working with Jalen Hurts and turning Jalen Hurts into

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: a guy who is a lethal passer of the football.

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: He is efficient, he is explosive, and then on top

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: of that, he's an incredible runner of the football and

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: designing an offense that accentuated Jalen hurts strengths as a player,

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: turned him, helped turn him into one of the best

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL in twenty twenty two. Prior to Philadelphia,

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: he spent one year with Justin Herbert. With the Chargers,

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert set the NFL rookie record for touchdowns at

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: thirty one. He I mean, his passer rating that here

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: was ninety eight point three. That is still the highest

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert's career. Was the one year head with

51
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken and then prior to that, Stikeen was interim

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from twenty and sixteen to

53
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen with Philip Rivers. When he took over with Philip,

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Philip is thirty five years old and all he did

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: was make three consecutive Pro Bowls from twenty sixteen to

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty and eighteen. And we saw how Philip Rivers was

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: as a passer when he came here in twenty twenty

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: and you know he Philip Rivers took some very specific

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: coaching and scheming to get him to play at a

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: high level with the limitations he had at that point

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: in his career. Shane Steikin did that when he was

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, and Philip and Shane they are really close.

63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: They still talk almost every week there on a very

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: close relationship those two guys. You know the stories I'm

65
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna have up on colts dot com today. I pulled

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: from an article that Connor Or wrote for Sports Illustrated

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: last year where he talked to Philip Rivers about Shane Steken.

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Some really impressive thoughts in there from Philip Rivers worth

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: noting that in the first full season that Shane Steikin

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: was the play caller, he took the Eagles to a

71
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl under head coach Nick Sirianni. He took over

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: those play calling duties I believe midway through the twenty

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: one season, but this was the first full season he's

74
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: been doing that. And by the way, Lara, after he

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: took over play calling duties in twenty one, that's when

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles took off and made the playoffs. They made

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: that run to the wild Card behind an offense that's

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: set an Eagles record with two seven and fifteen rushing

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: yards that year. And talking with people who have knowledge

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: of this coaching search, who have been involved in the process,

81
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: who have seen some of the conversations, one person described

82
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Shane Steken as an offensive genius. So if you want

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: something to get excited about, that's from someone who's on

84
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: the inside, very involved in this process. And it's not

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: just the football acumen and the offensive strategy. I mean,

86
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: that's huge. I mean, that's that's well documented by both

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: of you guys, but it's also about the leadership and

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: the accountability that was a huge criteria to fix the

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: competitive confidence that Chris Baller talked about at the end

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: of the season. So I think we'll find out more

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: about those things when we talk with Shane Steyken. Hear

92
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: from him in his press conference, layer you're going to

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: interview him, He's going to come down to the radio

94
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: studio and interact with us. We'll get more of a

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: I guess, a better idea of his presence and his personality.

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: But obviously he had to have checked all of those

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: boxes in order for the Colts to pull the trigger

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and make this higher. So obviously that I think is

99
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: filled within this higher so we're excited to see how

100
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: that manifests itself. But he's he's a young guy by

101
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: all accounts, by NFL standards, thirty seven years old. He is,

102
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: you know, the the third youngest head coach in the

103
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: NFL right now, behind only Sean McVay and Minnesota's Kevin O'Connell.

104
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: But that, to me, Lair is not a huge red

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: flag for me because he has been, as we said,

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL since twenty eleven. He's been an offensive coordinator,

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: he's been a quarterbacks coach, he's been a wide receivers coach,

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: offensive quality control, defensive quality control. He's got a lot

109
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: of you know, mentors with North Turner, Nick Sirianni, Frank

110
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: Reich's so on and so forth. So to me, that

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: the age is not a deterrent for me, it's it's

112
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: it's exciting because he's got passion, he's got energy, and

113
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: to me, it's really really interesting to see how this

114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: translates to the Colts in twenty twenty three. And obviously

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: we're getting ahead of ourselves a little bit, but it's

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see how the staff unfolds

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: and who stays, who goes. But the thirty seven year

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: old Shane Styke, in to me, is not a red

119
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: flag worth noting that he has a rapport with Gus

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: Bradley as well from their overlapping time with the Chargers.

121
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: And I did hear from a friend of mine who

122
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: is the reporter with the Chargers and fully endorsed this

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: higher of Shane Steke, and she said, he is the best.

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: You guys are going to absolutely love it. The locker

125
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: room is going to love it. He has an ability

126
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to connect with players. He not only has I mean,

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: you see how much fun that Philadelphia Eagles team has,

128
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: right you see how much fun they have on the sidelines,

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: on the field, all of that. But he is able

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to from the accounts that I have been given, he's

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: able to strike that balance between coaching, leading, holding accountable,

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: but also having a connection with guys. One of the

133
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: stories I read, believe this is the one that you're referencing.

134
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: JJ Lee practices are down to the second, the way

135
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: that they are scheduled, in the way that they are run.

136
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: So he's incredibly diligent, but it also is able to,

137
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, strike that balance with guys too in leading

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: by example and connecting with him and having great relationships

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: that have transcended his time in those different stops. Well,

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: that's it's so important because, like mate mentioned, the Colts

141
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: didn't just tire Shane Steke in because of his offensive

142
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: knowledge and prowess and play calling ability. The first thing

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: that Chris Ballard said, you know, when he was talking

144
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: about this search, is we don't want to go in

145
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: with an end in mind. And I think a lot

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: of people took that as we don't want to go

147
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: in thinking, all right, hey, we might draft a quarterback

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: fourth overall and we got a pair him with an

149
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: offensive guy. And that's not how the search went. By

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: the way, the Colts interviewed a wide breadth of candidates

151
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: with offensive, defensive, special team's experience. The emotional intelligence that

152
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken can bring to this building and bring to

153
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: this team, to me, is just have as important, if

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: not more important, than the offense's philosophy he will bring.

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: And you've got to be able to connect the locker room.

156
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to lead the locker room, especially

157
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: in a season where you know, coming off twenty twenty two,

158
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: that was something like you know, the competitive confidence that

159
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Matey mentioned, the Colts kind of lost it. You got

160
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: to get that back. It doesn't matter how good your

161
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: offense is if you don't have that competitive confidence. So

162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Shane Steykin to get that out of this team again,

163
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: that is going to be probably objective number one for

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: him coming in and worth noting that as extensive as

165
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the coaching search was, this was not just about the

166
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: Colts finding the guy who they wanted, but it also

167
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: had to be reciprocated in that the head coach had

168
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: to also be a good fit for the Colts and

169
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: that he saw things here, this is the job that

170
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: he wants, because there are only so many of these

171
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: jobs that are out there, and if you miss and

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you're not the right fit, and you get into a

173
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: locker room and itte and not what you expected, it

174
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: can go poorly, very very quickly. So I'm excited to

175
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: hear from shanestykeing Shane Stekin exactly what excites him about

176
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: the foundation that he inherits and the opportunity that there

177
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: is to build moving forward with this Indianapolis Colts team. Right,

178
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: the cupboard does not bear here in terms of players

179
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: who are returning to this team. You look on the

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, DeForrest Buckner, Grover Stewart, those

181
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: two guys are a plus type players who you want

182
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: to have on that side of the ball. Shack Lender

183
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: hopefully coming back pairing Zaire Franklin's to find Gilmour being here.

184
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: You know you got some guys there. And then on offense,

185
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: you've got some young pieces. You have some guys who

186
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: have played at a high level who the Colts need

187
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: to get back there to that high level. But the

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: big thing for me is that you look at the

189
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: opportunity that he does have now, and you always want

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: to have alignment between your coach and your quarterback. And

191
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the Colts have an opportunity now with a first year

192
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: head coach coming in and Shane Steiken potentially with that

193
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: fourth overall pick drafting a quarterback and getting that alignment

194
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: between an offensive minded head coach and a top pick

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: quarterback that is so important to have. And it's surprising

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: how little that actually happens. How you get that first

197
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: year head coach to come in and potentially draft a quarterback,

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen all the time. A lot of times

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, you draft a quarterback and then the next

200
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: year the offensive coach comes in. That's what happened when

201
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: I was in Chicago, when Matt Naggie came in one

202
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: year into Mitch Chubisky's career. It happened with Trevor Lawrence

203
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: where Doug Peterson came in one year into Trevor Lawrence's career.

204
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: To be able to have that alignment from day one. Again,

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: this is all presuming the Colts take a quarterback. They

206
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: may not. We are still a long way out from that,

207
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: but if that were to happen, that carries a lot

208
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: of weight for what this organization can look like over

209
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: the next five ten years. Another thing I'm excited to

210
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: learn from coach Steike and when he comes in and

211
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: as he begins to have more conversations and meetings and

212
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: all of that, is having an opportunity to be right

213
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: hand to Nick Sirianni, who went through the process of

214
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: being offensive coordinator and then becoming a head coach. They're

215
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: always going to be a bit of play ye, right,

216
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: how much do I manage? What does my game day

217
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: look like? So I think that it will be beneficial.

218
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: What did he learn from how Nick has grown in

219
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: this role to taking a team to a super Bowl

220
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: just his second year at the Helm. I think that's

221
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: going to be really interesting to learn maybe some of

222
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: those cues that he's been able to pick up because

223
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: he's been part of building this Philadelphia Eagles organization into

224
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: what it is in such quick time. And there are

225
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: so many things that you can look at what Nick

226
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Siriani did in Philadelphia, the game management stuff. How many

227
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: times did was there that the close play and they

228
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: get to the line, get to the line, get the

229
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: next playoff, like that incredible Devanta Smith catch in the

230
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: NFC Championship but it wasn't really a catch, but they

231
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: got to the line, they got the playoff, but it

232
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: was thanks to Nick Sirian, right. But also, you know

233
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: something that Shane Stiken I think has done such a

234
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: good job of is when they get a look and

235
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, let's say the opponents in dime personnel, and

236
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: you get a chunk play against that, Hey let's go fast,

237
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Let's keep him in that same personnel. He's so good

238
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: at that. And something that Stike and has talked about

239
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: is he doesn't really look at his play sheet a

240
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: whole lot because it's sort of like if you've prepared properly,

241
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: and something we're gonna hear from Shane Steiken is the

242
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: separation is the preparation. That is a phrase that he

243
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: likes to say, Hey, if you have prepared properly. He

244
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: sort of feels like, I don't have to really look

245
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: at my play sheet, and that comes from Norv Turner.

246
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: Norv Turner always said if you're looking, if you're bared

247
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: in your playsheet during a game, it means you're probably

248
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: not doing a very good job. Stike and will go

249
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: call plays on feel again, or he may delegate that

250
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: to an offensive coordinator and say, hey, you may you

251
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: can go kind of the same route, call plays on field. Yeah,

252
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: there's I mean, there's so many levels of optimism to

253
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: this and to me, we're gonna get into it. There's

254
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: a ton of time to talk about just what excites you.

255
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Taylor coming back and the fact that the

256
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Eagles had the best rushing offense the last two years

257
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, just that that has to be so encouraging.

258
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: What can Taylor and this offensive line that's trying to rebound,

259
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: that's trying to get back to form with the core

260
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: pieces coming back next season. What can that look like

261
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: in a Shane Stike in offense? What can that look

262
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: like in his offensive coordinator? Who is TBD obviously of

263
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: this taping here. Lastly, we're gonna get into it. And JJ,

264
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: you kind of alluded to it briefly, his success with

265
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. You look at him, I mean Philip Rivers,

266
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: You know Herbert and obviously Jalen Hurts. You look at Rivers.

267
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Rivers was Rivers, but three consecutive Pro Bowls, Like you

268
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: alluded to Herbert, Rookie of the Year in twenty twenty,

269
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts maybe played the best quarterback game in the

270
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: history of the Super Bowl and a losing effort, second

271
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: team All Pro Guy last year. JJ does Steiken's success

272
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: with several different styles of quarterbacks, all different skill sets,

273
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: all different strengths. How much hope does that give you

274
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: that Stiken can mold whoever plays quarterback next year for

275
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: the Colts. It showcases that he is flexible as a

276
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: head coach, as an offensive coach coordinator. Is a quarterbacks

277
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: coach that he's not? He's not trying to graft the

278
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers offense onto Justin Herbert. He's not trying to

279
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: graft the Justin Herbert offense onto Jalen Hurts because that

280
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't work. They're completely different players. But he is willing

281
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: to do is be flexible schematically and give his players

282
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: the tools they need to succeed. And the tools you're

283
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: giving Justin Herbert are not the tools you're giving Jalen

284
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: Hurt or Philip Rivers. And the ability to do that

285
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: is something that not every coach has. Some coaches they

286
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: get stuck in, Hey, this is how we're gonna run things.

287
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: And Shane Styken does not seem like that kind of

288
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: a guy. I mean, look at what the Eagles did

289
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: this year with Jalen Hurts and the offense that they

290
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: ran with, and even it goes beyond quarterback by the

291
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: way too. Before AJ Brown got to Philadelphia, he was

292
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of that like over the middle slasher where he

293
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: would take a slant and he would go fifty eight

294
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: yards like seventeen times against the Colts. And he gets

295
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and all of a sudden, a J. Brown

296
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: is like this incredible ball tracking deep threat and Shane

297
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: Styken and Nick Sirianni, I think you look at what

298
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: they did in Kevin Petullo, the past game coordinator, he

299
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: used to be here as a wide receivers coach. They all,

300
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: I think they all kind of looked at AJ Brown

301
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: and said, hey, you got another level to your game

302
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: that we can unlock in this offense, and that's going

303
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: to help out Joe and Hurts. And it turns out

304
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: a J. Brown goes out as a career season. He

305
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: is phenomenal in the Super Bowl as well. It's really

306
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: really impressive. Just the versatility and the flexibility that Shane

307
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: Steken brings. Player development with him and under him is

308
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: so significant because this also means that you're not reaching

309
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position in whatever way it is. You're

310
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: not going to force a fit just because you think
