1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Joined now by a young man in the Colts defensive 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: backfield who I love because he admittedly plays with a 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder Born If I'm not mistaken in Jacksonville, Florida, 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: where I'm talking about Brandon face On is here? Am 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: I correct with that? Yes? Okay, So you're kind of 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: going home this weekend a little bit. Yes, it's almost 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: like a home game. Fair enough, fair enough from Florida. Okay, 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: I want to go back a little bit. I just 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: gotta ask a question on behalf of Colts Nation after 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: watching the twenty twenty tie against the Texans, Brandon, are 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: we okay? Now, we're good? We're I think we're okay. 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: That was kind of a weird ending. Never really me personally, 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I've never really had a tie, so um, it's just 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: one of those things I said in the rule book 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: and you kind of just gotta keep going forward from there. 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: What was it with that team that everybody had said? 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: You know, I started out as an eight point favorite. 18 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: When it comes to, you know, matching these teams up 19 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: and everything. Young quarterback in Davis Mills, inexperienced running back, 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, they do have you know, a little veteran 21 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: receiver flavor there. But what was it about the Texans 22 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: that kind of gave us fits? We were down twenty 23 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: to three at a time. I think they played well. Um, 24 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: you know they had a lot of energy. Um, I 25 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: think we had a lot of energy. You know, they 26 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: were just we just need to you know, capitalize on 27 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: some things that we need to work on, um in practice, 28 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: and you know, just keep it moving forward. Um. You 29 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: know they have good players. You can't take any team 30 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: for granted in this in this league, so can't take 31 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: any team with ease. Everyone has a good team. So, UM, 32 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: you just kind of got to go in there and 33 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: start a little fast, start faster and faster. That's Brandon 34 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: facing with us. I know you've played about sixty career 35 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: games with Gus Bradley as your defensive coordinator. What did 36 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: you make of your first game with Gus in this 37 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: defense with the Colts? Um? I thought I thought I 38 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: played okay. Um. You know you're always looking for areas 39 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: of improvement. Um. You know I hold myself to a 40 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: high standard, and I know everyone around the building holds 41 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: themselves to a high standard. So UM, you know you 42 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: just always got played a chiplein you shoulder. And you know, 43 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: even if you play a great game, um the game before, 44 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you always want to see how you can get better 45 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: the next game. So I think that's that's just what 46 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: we all have to continue to do. Um that game 47 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: in the past. We're moving on to Jacksonville, who was 48 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: another good team. UM, so you know, we just gotta 49 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: just gotta come to work focused, um, and just be 50 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: even more focused as the week you know, progressive for 51 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: about the six minute mark of the third quarter on 52 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: through overtime, Colts defense really dominated you guys, really really 53 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, held the Texans in check with no points. 54 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: What did you guys do well from a unit standpoint 55 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: that you can build on going forward starting this weekend. Man, 56 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: I just think they the first game, you don't really 57 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: know what to expect. Um. You know, everyone can come 58 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: out with their own you know, game playing fifteen script plays. Um. 59 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: You know, I thought we did a pretty good job 60 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: even when we were in some some trouble areas. I 61 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: think we did a great job with sticking together, UM, 62 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: just coming together as a team and just keep fighting, 63 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: and um that's what we did, got it tied up 64 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: and um, you know, unfortunately ended ended in a in 65 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: a tie, but it's not a loss. So you know, 66 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: like I said, we just got to kind of move 67 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: on from this game. We'll face him again later on 68 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: in the season, and um, you know, it's about going 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: one to know each week. Brandon Pason joins us, I 70 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: want to ask about your livelihood the position you play. 71 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: I have no idea what is past interference and what 72 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: isn't past interference? Kenny Moore in this particular one that 73 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, head turned around looking for the ball, 74 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: not touching the receiver, flag for a penalty? How is it? 75 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: Can you just give me a quick description of what 76 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: they tell you is acceptable to play defensive back in 77 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: this league. I mean, that's what you do. What more 78 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: do you have to do? How do you play it? 79 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: You must get the head turned around for starters. Yeah, um, 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: you know those are two tough calls. And I thought 81 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I thought Kenny played played the ball great. Um, you know, 82 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: it's just I guess it's just by the by the 83 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: judges calls. So you know, as defensive players, we're not 84 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: we definitely not always gonna agree with some of the 85 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: calls that are being made. And I think those two 86 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: were very questionable. But you know, it's not my job 87 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: to you know, to to really say what is and 88 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: what isn't. But you know, just keep keep playing a game. 89 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I thought Kenny played it great and unfortunately we just 90 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: didn't get the call. But um, you know, going forward, 91 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: we look to see how we can even uh, you know, 92 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: better our chances of not getting a call. It's a 93 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: it's just a if he, if he type of call. 94 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it's weird. Yeah, you can't 95 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: say it. I can't. It was a bad, bad call, right, 96 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to say it. I'll say it. It's 97 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: a bad call. Jeffrey dot Gorman atl dot com. Okay, 98 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: how was that? Uh, you know, and then we'll move 99 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: on to Jacksonville. How was the plane right? How was 100 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the first day back in the building and stuff? Doesn't 101 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: feel like a loss, but it is kind of disappointing. 102 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, Yeah, man, we 103 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: just um the plane ride was was was was was? 104 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: It was fine? You know, uh, you know, we're all 105 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: high spirit. Um. We come into the building high spirit 106 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: and um always you know, always focused, but you know, 107 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: have fun with it. Um. But we definitely have to 108 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: just continue to build our focus and um, you know, 109 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: no one was was down in the dumps, no one 110 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: was in anything like that. So, UM, I think we're 111 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: all high on energy right now, looking forward to go 112 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: to this week in Jacksonville. Um, so this is I 113 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: think this is my second time Plane and I played 114 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: him one time when I was with the Chargers. Um, 115 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think I think we're all good to go. 116 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be gonna be focused, gonna start 117 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: out fast. I think we just gotta come together as 118 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: a team, like we said. And um, first game, you 119 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, uh, second game, we're just 120 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: looking to start faster and faster. Going back to two teammates, 121 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: what did you make of Nick Cross's performance? He was 122 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: the youngest Colts player ever in the history of the 123 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: franchise since they moved to Indianapolis in nineteen eighty four. 124 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 1: To start a game, he was twenty one years old 125 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: and one day. Yeah, I mean it looked like that 126 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: that moment wasn't too big for him out there. Now, 127 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: he's been doing a great job. You know, we always 128 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: we always pick not we won't really pick on him, 129 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: but you can pick on him in the group. So 130 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: all goes. We always give him a little something, but 131 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: you know he's been he's been handling everything pretty well. 132 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: And um, you know, especially for his rookie season. Um, 133 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: to be so young and to be so talented. Um, 134 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's he's definitely got a lot, a 135 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: lot to grow on and and you know he's just 136 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: going to continue to get better. And now we love 137 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: how he's playing. We love how you know, locked in 138 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: he's in. So I think he's putting himself in a 139 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: great spot and he's been doing a great job. I 140 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: know this is your first year with the Colts, like 141 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: you said, you're gonna be playing the Jaguars on the 142 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: road for the first time with that cold telment on. 143 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: But how sick are you? How sick is the locker 144 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: room of hearing about that road losing streak to the Jaguars. 145 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: That's that's got to be pretty distasteful, I should say, 146 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: when you hear about that this week going into this game. Yeah, man, 147 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: we knew, we knew we were gonna hear about it. Um. 148 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of been like a trend um 149 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: over the years, and it's my first year here, but 150 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: I've heard about it. Um, but you know, we we're 151 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: not really worried about the noise. Um. You know, at 152 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it is what it is. 153 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: We just got to go out there and break that. So, UM, 154 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: I think we're all confident that we can do that. 155 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: And UM, you know, we just was confident our guys, 156 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: confident our coaches as we should be. And UM, I 157 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a great game. UM. Just got 158 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: to go out there, focus and go out there just 159 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: with the mindset to win. So um, not going for 160 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: a tie. You know, that was that was That was 161 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: a weird one. But I think when we we're gonna 162 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: be We're gonna be solid this week as we you know, 163 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: prepare for this team. You know, like I said, we're 164 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: playing a great team, a lot of talent, a lot 165 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: of young talent. They went an off season, did a 166 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: lot of good movement things. Um, so we just gotta 167 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: just play our role.
