I'm Jeffrey Gorman, joined by Matey, 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, the voice of the Colts, and from Colts 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: dot Com senior writer J. J. Stankomits boys, I want 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: to go over a little two week check up today. 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: We got elephants in the room to talk about. We 15 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: got Jamie Erdolk from the NFL Networker's coming up. We 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: got the twittermail bag coming up. JJ. I know you're 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: excited about that coming, but I need to start with you, Matey. 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: First two weeks into this camp, what is the personality 19 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: of this football team? What has this camp brought out 20 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: that you like so far? As far as competition goes, well, 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of days, it's been all about the defense. 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: The defense has really taken advantage at times of the offense. 23 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of you know, good personnel 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: over on that side of the ball. I mean unique 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: and Gackway has beyond flashed. Stefan Gilmore has risen to 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: that maybe he could play at that level of twenty 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: nineteen when he was the defensive Player of the Year. 28 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean, just so smooth and control. He's comfortable. But 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 1: then you've got guys that are mainstays that are really 30 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: coming on again. And it's so good to see Julian Blackman, 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: you flash. I mean he is just so communicative on 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: the field and getting players in the back end of 33 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: the right spot. But yeah, I think obviously the offense, 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, on Sundays we take this, you know early 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: in the week. This week on Sunday, you know, some drops, 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: some fumbles, you know, just some miscommunication by the offense. 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: There was some of that today. Matt Ryan threw his 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: first couple of receptions in eleven on eleven periods. Today. 39 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, an overthrow on Ashton Doulin, an overthrow from 40 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior. That's to be expected. We're sorting the 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: dog days of camp. But I think my biggest takeaways 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: from you know, this time last week, from week one 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: to week two of camp is just the defense looks 44 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: pretty formidable, and it looks like they had the chance 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: to be a top ten unit. And there's really no 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: holes within that unit with Unique and Gockway the pass 47 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: rush and then slowing down elite quarterbacks and elite receivers 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: i e. Enter Stefan Gilmore and then you've got Brandon 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: facing here now. So the defense looks really really JJ 50 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: So I couldn't agree more with mate, But this is 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: what stood out to me with the defense specifically, is 52 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: the effort that they're playing with. I asked Gus Bradley 53 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: how Unique and Gockway I mean during practice on Sunday 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: Unique one and he chased down nihem Hins thirty yards 55 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: down field on a running play, And how the standard 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: here under Mattieberflus was efforts rallying to the ball and 57 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: that is now carried over obviously to Gus Bradley, but 58 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: adding Unique to that, and Gus said that they the 59 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: first thing they talk about in meetings after practice is 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: what was the effort? They grade out the effort, and 61 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: he said, when you see play like unique chasing down Hindes, 62 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: that means that the effort is pretty good. That the 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: standard has been raised even higher than where it's been 64 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: in years past. That's showing up out here now. I'm 65 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: not going to sit here and say there might not 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: be any growing pains just in terms of learning the 67 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: scheme because it is a new scheme. It is a 68 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: different way of playing. But when you got defense, playing 69 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: with effort and playing with good communications are those almost 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: the two most important things you can get, especially when 71 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: your defense is based on a pass rush that is attacking, 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. The way Quitti played describes it 73 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: is you're in a dark room and you're just running 74 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: to the quarterback and the quarterback is almost I guess 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: like the light in there. And that level of effort 76 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: and intensity that these guys are practicing with, to me, 77 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: that that so far has been the story a camp. 78 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: If you saw it today at the end of practice, 79 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: a two minute drill and a four minute drill, and 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: it's moved the ball, it's it's situation. But the defense 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: they hold their own it's hard for the offense to 82 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: move the ball against this Colts defense in a controlled 83 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: situational environment. Who unless you're Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I mean 84 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: he ripped off like a seventy yard touch shower, and 85 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: it was like watching the Patriots game all over again, 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 1: and you know they're they're in this this two minute 87 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: drill and Taylor rips this runoff for what would have 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: been a touchdown and they have to go back to 89 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: set up a field goal because the drill I think 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: was supposed to end with the field goals. He got 91 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan taking a knee, then set it up with 92 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: the right hash mark and then Rodrigo blanket chip, then 93 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Jake Verity I think it was hitting a fourt of 94 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: yard go Yeah. Good problem to haven't even running back 95 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: like Jonathan's. Obviously, the offense is not scheming for the defense, 96 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: but you get the idea. Defensively, it is hard at 97 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: times for this offense to get chunk plays against the 98 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: defense when they're just lining up playing football and doing 99 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: fundamental things. Follow him on Twitter at may Take Colts. 100 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: Also at JJ Stankovitz on Twitter. I'm gonna go to you. 101 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: We got some camp battles on both sides of the ball. 102 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: Give me one that you're looking at with a little 103 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: extra eye on this second week at training camp. So 104 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: the cornerback competition to be that third corner. You know, 105 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: obviously Kenny and Stefan Gilmore are going to be the 106 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: one two there, but man, Brandon Fason and Isaiah Rodgers, 107 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: like every day those dudes are making plays and they 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: are they are showing themselves to be really really solid corners. 109 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: One of those guys is going to wind up being 110 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: the three and getting more snaps, especially when you're you know, 111 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: that's when you're a nickel. But I think it's it's 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: a competition in that sense. But those two guys are 113 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: going to be on the field a lot this year. 114 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Fayson knows this defense. He's doing such 115 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: a good job kind of coaching it up today. He 116 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: had a really impressive breakup in the end zone during 117 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven on Alan Pierce just kind of swatted 118 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: Pierce went up to high point that he knocked the 119 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: ball out. Just great instincts play strength that he has. 120 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: And then Isaiah Rodgers, you know the speed in Sunday's 121 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: practice during one on ones. He was matched up against 122 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: Niheem Hines. He ran step for step with Niheim came 123 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: with an acrobatic interception. Those two guys are gonna play 124 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: a lot, I love. You know, you always hear this 125 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: term about how iron sharpens iron, and how you know 126 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: when you're at your best and you're playing your best, 127 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,119 Speaker 1: it's gonna push everyone else and you're gonna make everyone 128 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: else better. You're seeing that with the wide receivers in 129 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: the cornerbacks, but I think you're seeing it with Rogers 130 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: and facing that is iron sharpening iron, with two guys 131 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: at the same position getting better and actually, you know, 132 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: getting better by competing against each other. And you're seeing 133 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: the same thing with Stefan Gilmour. I mean anytime he's 134 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: lined up against Alec Pierce or Paris Campbell or some 135 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: of these other young up and coming receivers that the 136 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: cults are banking on for more this upcoming season. Man, 137 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: it's such a advantage for the Colts defense to have 138 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: a guy like that to really push and to sharpen 139 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: these receivers. And just in terms of the subtle nuances, Hey, 140 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: how am I lining up? Is there anything about my 141 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: body language that's a subtle tell for a veteran like 142 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour to tip on. So from that standpoint, it's 143 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: so advantageous of the Colts. And then you know Matt 144 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: Ryan after practice talks about, hey, it's it's great for 145 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: me because even in practice Stefan Gilmore gives me that 146 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt. Hey do why should I go 147 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: here with the football? Because I've got this savvy guy 148 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: that can interpret things and make a break better than 149 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: just about anybody in the game, certainly since twenty eighteen, 150 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: when he's so high up there in terms of Pro 151 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: football focus, numbers and analytics and you know, just things 152 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: of that nature. So you know, Matt Ryan, Frank Reich 153 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: of all talked about just what Stefan Gilmore brings to 154 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: the offense and making those guys better in practice ahead 155 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: of the regular season, I want to touch on the 156 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver position. I want to touch on the left 157 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: tackle position. But before we get there. JJ Stankovitz Wednesday practice, 158 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: Thursday practice. You know you're walking through on Friday, you're 159 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: playing at and you're traveling to Buffalo the Saturday preseason 160 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: first one of the year this Saturday, what do you 161 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: expect out of starters week one, So Frank Reich said, 162 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: the plan is he'll probably get about a quarter and 163 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: they might get a little bit more than they have 164 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: in years past. May be a series all starters. It'll 165 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: be a case by case basis to determine who will 166 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: not ask. I know why you're asking twenty eight, but look, 167 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: I mean he's not the only one. Yeah, well right, 168 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: the first one on might thing. You know, it's like, 169 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, that's just here's and what Frank said is 170 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: that he wants everyone to expect to play. But here's 171 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the thing. If Jonathan Taylor's out there. Something we've seen 172 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: out here during practice is that that combination of Jonathan 173 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: Taylor and Nihem Hines on the field at the same time. 174 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: That's been awesome. You're seeing You're seeing Niheem rip off 175 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: big runs. You're seeing in Nihim get catch passes. You're 176 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: seeing JT big breakoff big runs, catch chunk passes. You're 177 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: just seeing these different dimensions of the offense, whether it's 178 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Nihim and JT in the backfield. You know, naihim lined 179 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: up in the slot, JT in the backfield. There's so 180 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: many different things you can do with that that force 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: a defense to declare what they want to do on 182 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: a play, and then you can get a matchup based 183 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: off of that. All of that being said, you're probably 184 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: not going to see a whole out of that in 185 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: the preseason game because you don't want to put a 186 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff on film. You know, some of 187 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: the more I guess proprietary plays that you're going to 188 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: try to deploy in the regular season. So, all that 189 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: being said, if Jonathan Taylor plays or not, I'm not 190 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: as worried about it. And I mean, this dude, din 191 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: of a preseason his rookie year. I know he started 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: a little bit slow. Din of a preseason last year. 193 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: I think he maybe played a game, maybe he got 194 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: a couple carry carry two against Minnesota. I don't even 195 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: not even that. I don't even know about that look. 196 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: And then he went out and was the best running 197 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: back in the NFL. So does Jonathan Taylor need the preseason. 198 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: We'll see. But again Frank Croix said, I want them 199 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: to prepare like they're going to play in the preseason again, 200 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: like Alec Pierce or like last year in Detroit we 201 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: saw Quitty Pay. Yeah, that third game, may Quitty Pay 202 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: got I think most of the run in the first 203 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: half of that third preseason game, which was a little 204 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: bit of surprise because he was projected as a starter. 205 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: So I think it will be a case by case basis, 206 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: as as JJ said, But I will say that I 207 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: think some of these young, the rookie impactful guys like 208 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: a Lonnie Woods or Alec Pierce or a rygle Tree, 209 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: those guys might get a little bit more extended run. 210 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: Even though they're not quote unquote starters, they are guys 211 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the cults are counting, you know, a significant role from 212 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: right out of the game. May Day I talked about 213 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the wide receiver position a little bit. We got four 214 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: guys I think that are you know, not the GM here, 215 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: but you might want to pencil in those top four 216 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: guys could be a battle for two or three slots. 217 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Ashton Dulan in that number four slot, I'm saying because 218 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: obviously he's making some plays out here, but he's so 219 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: special on special teams. The other battles for those position 220 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: spots of the wide receivers. What do you like? What 221 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: have you seen that you have been encouraged by and 222 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: some of the discouraging things. I think if you play 223 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: a game today, I think it's the top four, like 224 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: you said, and then my five and six, assuming you 225 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: keep six, I'm gonna go with Key Key QT and 226 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: Desmond Patman, and those guys have been routinely intermixing with 227 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: the twos that they'll sprinkling with a littlettle bit of 228 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the ones. We saw that today down the red zone, 229 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: QT was running with the ones. And again I go 230 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: back to he's had time in this league. He has 231 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: flashed this league albeat with the Houston Texans, mostly against 232 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: the Colts, mostly all of it against the Colts. Right, 233 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: he has three one h yard receiving games, all of 234 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: them against Indianapolis. And but I think he adds depth 235 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: behind Paris Campbell, and I think Desmond Patman adds depth 236 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: behind either Alec Pierce or a Michael Pittman by the way, 237 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, I mean, j J, what do you 238 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: think based on what we've seen in camp he's gonna 239 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: catch ninety balls. So today today I'm you know, I'm 240 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: writing down who Matt Ryan completed passes two in the 241 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: two minutes, and it's like two to eleven, two to eleven, 242 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: two to sixteen, two to twenty one, back to two 243 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: to eleven, and you know another one in there heat 244 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: that I mean that is becoming a guy who you 245 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: can see a clear connection with with Matt Ryan. Um. 246 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: We know what Michael Pittman can do. We saw it 247 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: last year. You're gonna see it against this this year, 248 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: maybe even to a greater extent. But to Mate's point 249 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: just about Desmond Patman, I think some of the ways 250 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: that they can use him, maybe not necessarily only as 251 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: the like out side X big body receiver. He could 252 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: bring a different to mention to this thing. You know, 253 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: if he can continue to kind of grow in practice. 254 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: You know, there's a really great article that Robert Mays 255 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: wrote on The Athletic just about slot receivers and the 256 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: growth of that position over the last ten years. Where 257 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: it used to be you only thought of Wes Welker 258 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: as a slot in that body type and now you're seeing, 259 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, Ceedee Lamb and Michael Pittman Junior at one 260 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty snaps in the slot. Zach Pascal is 261 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: a two hundred and something pound guy in the slot. 262 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: Desmond Patman could be a guy where if you're an 263 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: eleven personnel and you need someone to go in there 264 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: and dig out a block in the slot. If he 265 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: can continue to grow, he could maybe be a guy 266 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: to do that and earn himself a spot on this 267 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: team too. Okay, we'll go any rookies at Matt Taylor. 268 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you first on this one because the 269 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: rookie watch has been uh, you know, we got a 270 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: lot more to get into here because I need to 271 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: get an undrafted free agents and who's gonna make the 272 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: team and whatnot like that, But just to a rookie watch, 273 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: he's been impressive so far. Well, big roles obviously from 274 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: Aleck Pierce. Nick Cross is gonna play right right now, 275 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: right now, Rodney McLeod it looks as if he's number 276 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 1: two on the depth chart. I mean, I know he 277 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: started the campaign on pup pup, and he had that 278 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: slight knee injury coming into camp, and he sprinkled in 279 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: a little bit with the ones, primarily towards the end 280 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: of last week. But here again over the weekend and 281 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: early part of this week, it's it's Cross again back 282 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: running primarily with the starters. And I'm pleasantly surprised at 283 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: that because again we've talked about this all offseason. It's 284 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: McLeod who has ten years experience versus Cross that just 285 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: has all kinds of upside and right now the Colts 286 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: want it baptism by fire. Let's see what you got. 287 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: And he's communicating well, just like Julian Blackman is in 288 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: the back end. So I really don't see, you know, 289 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: a negative downside too. If he plays and starts those 290 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: first two games right out of the gate, which are 291 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: so important in the AFC South, the Colts like what 292 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: they have there. Get it all out of your system 293 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: here in training camp so that way that the mistakes 294 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: are minimal when the Bolts start flow, starting safety as 295 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: a rookie, Bob Sanders comes up to mine Antoine, Antoine 296 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: Bay Yeah. Julian Blackman, Yeah, Julian Blackman, good one. And 297 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: it could be Nick Cross this year talking with JJ 298 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: Sankovitz and Matt Taylor right here on Coach Official podcast, 299 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: which is brought to you by our friends at Wynn 300 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: Bet other than Nick Cross. Rookies, who do you like? 301 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: And I'm opening you're going to the offensive side of 302 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: the ball, So I want to save the tight ends 303 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: for a little bit later because we got a male. 304 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: Bad question about them that I day. But I'm gonna 305 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: throw Eric Johnson out there. He's been He started camp 306 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: on the NFI list. He had an injury while training 307 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: away from the facility. But this dude's get off is 308 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: really good. He's quick off the ball for an interior 309 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. And you know, I think about this where 310 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley said we want to get to eight. We 311 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: want to get to eight pass rushers, eight guys who 312 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: can defensive lineman who can get after the quarterback. Eric 313 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: Johnson looks like a guy who could be a part 314 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: of that mix. Um. You know, I was walking back 315 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: during a practice and Rick Venturry's walking the other way, 316 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and you know, Rick does that there he kind of 317 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: grabs your arm. He's really you know, I got something 318 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: to tell you, grabs my arm and he goes ninety 319 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: three Johnson, who really that dude can play. Yeah, and 320 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: he had a spin movie the other day that was 321 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: pretty legal. Yeah. I think that that's a guy who 322 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: his athletic profile was off the charts. He was one 323 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: of the biggest Combine snubs from the this year's NFL Combine. 324 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: I think he got a late invite to the Senior Bowl. 325 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: But he's a guy that colts really high in his 326 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: athleticism in the interior. And again, if you're you're looking 327 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: for those guys, you're not looking to Eric Johnson to 328 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: start this year, but if you need him to come 329 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: off the bench and and rotate in to give a 330 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: good pass rush, to give Grover Stewart or de Forrest 331 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: Buckner a blow. So then those guys in the fourth 332 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: quarter they can be as fresh as possible to get 333 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: after the quarterback. That's a really good development that we're 334 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: sitting here on August what is an eighth and talking 335 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: about that. Eric Johnson has at a pret solid camp 336 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: so far. Love it. Can we talk some elephants in 337 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: the room? Boys? Please do it big? I mean they're 338 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: making making noise. Elephant is Jeffreys here first? That is 339 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the first one. It is. I am the elephant in 340 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: this room. I'm gonna go right there. Do we need 341 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: to play more of our frontline players in the preseason 342 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: this year or less? I mean bottom line? Do we 343 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: need Matt Ryan, Jonathan Taylor, quinnin Nelson? Do we need 344 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: Nick Cross back there? Do we need the guys that 345 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: are getting Gilmore included? Yannike and Gaway. How much do 346 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: they need how much do you guys want to see 347 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: him play? I think you need a little bit, especially 348 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: if you're a team like the Colts that is not 349 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: one an opener in nearly a decade. You gotta try something. 350 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: And I think what we heard from Frank Reich is 351 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: where you're going to see the starters out there for 352 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: a quarter against Buffalo. They're not going to be out 353 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: there against the Lions because you got the two joint practices, 354 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: and then they'll go a little bit longer against Tampa 355 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: in the preseason finale. But I do think there's something too. 356 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: You just you gotta get out there. You gotta get 357 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: in live action, and if you want to be really 358 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: ready for the regular season, that might be what this 359 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: team needs. You see other teams go different directions. You know, 360 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: the Rams never play their guys. Justin Herbert probably never 361 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: going to take a preseason stamp in his life while 362 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: he's with the Chargers. But again, you got you gotta 363 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: have a feel for where your team is at. Frank 364 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: Craik has a very good sense, a good pulse of 365 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: what this team is looking to accomplish early in the season. 366 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: And how they're feeling right now, and I think you'll 367 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: probably see the starters out there and that'll probably be 368 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: to their benefit. Matt Taylor, I mean, I gotta ask 369 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: you because this is this goes more than just you 370 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: being an analyst this. You've got to remember some names, 371 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: my friend. Over the course of the next Game one 372 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: and games three are going to be tough because everybody's 373 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: going to play. And that's it's not ninety it's ninety 374 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: one because Marcel Deabo takes up that spot on the roster. 375 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Spout that and I'm saying the Buffalo game this Saturday, 376 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: you got to know that whole roster. But I'm saying, 377 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: as an analyst side of you know, what would you 378 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: like to see as far as the starters. I think 379 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: I think JJ's absolutely right. I mean, it's that old adage, 380 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, you hear all the time, if it's not broke, 381 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: don't fix it. Right. Well, this is sort of the 382 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: other way, like everything needs to be looked at. That's 383 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: why practice is different this year. It's we're at noon 384 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: instead of the morning trying to just shake things up, 385 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: trying to do anything and everything. Let's examine everything down 386 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: to the smallest details to see if we can get 387 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: off the faster starts. And I, generally speaking do agree 388 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: with Rick Venturi, who's so adamant about you just can't 389 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: go from playing a couple of series spread out over 390 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: three weeks time, get twenty snaps over a month, and 391 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: then expect to go play in Houston where it's hot, 392 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: obviously in Jacksonville where it's going to be outside, smoking 393 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: hot in mid September. Go from that to play in 394 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: seventy snaps full speed and expect to a stay healthy 395 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: and be execute at a high level against a defense 396 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: that's game planned against you. So I do think it's situational. 397 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: I do agree with JJ, but I also think that 398 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, Matt Ryan doesn't need to play a full half. 399 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: But it's a new scheme, it's brand new teammates, it's 400 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: doing everything for the first time. Then on defense, new 401 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: scheme under Gus Bradley, and you're trying to get in 402 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: the habit of here's the call from the sideline, here's 403 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: how it works, this is how game day is gonna 404 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: feel with everybody involved. That's new here as compared to 405 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: years past. So I do think it's very beneficial for 406 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: the coll to play a little bit more and get 407 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: more time on task and again to steal a line 408 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: from Rick Ventury, be more combat ready to start the season. 409 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: Because again everything's looked at your six and eleven record 410 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: wise dating back to twenty seventeen in the month of September, 411 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: that includes a one in four, that includes a one 412 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: in five and oh and three. So you know, Frank 413 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: Reich's been here four years, three out of the four 414 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: years that've gotten off the slow starts. So I'm not 415 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: mad at anything that has changed up a little bit 416 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: differently systematically going into the season to maybe alter that. 417 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: Here's the other part I want to see in the 418 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: preseason is the offensive line playing together as one. That's 419 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: something last year I think it's this underrated aspect to 420 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: the preseason had none of that. You had none of that. 421 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: You I mean, Eric Fisher was on pup, Quinton Nelson 422 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: had the foot day, Ryan Kelly hyper extended his elbow, 423 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: You had Mark Lewinski there, and then Braydon Smith was 424 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: in and out, so you had all these moving parts 425 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get that even if you've played 426 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: together like that line had for the most part for 427 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: three four years. It's hard to get that field down, 428 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: especially with the new quarterback where you know it's It's 429 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: something I was talking to Matt Ryan about this on 430 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: Sunday where the offensive line needs to know when Matt 431 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: Ryan has a three five seven step drop exactly where 432 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: that spot's going to be, so they know how how 433 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: long to hold their blocks where they need to put 434 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: their blocks. And last year the Colts don't really have 435 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: any that because also by the the quarterback was in 436 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: and out. So that's something that I you know, I 437 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: think you want to see a little bit of that 438 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: in preseason again, just that cohesion. Even though Quentin Nelson 439 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: and Ryan Kelly have played thousands of snaps together and 440 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: Bradon Smith's been out there quite a bit, you still 441 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: want to see that cohesion, especially because I mean, you 442 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: have two new guys in there, Matt Prior Danny Pinter 443 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: left garden right tackle, respectively. So I think that's something 444 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: you're looking for in the preseason. Guys, we're gonna get 445 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: to Jamie Rodhal from the NFL Network here in just 446 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: a second, but I want to talk about Paris Campbell. Matt. 447 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: I'll stay with you. What sort of year is this 448 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: for the young man, and you know, availability is the 449 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: best ability obviously, so we're all holding our breath on it. 450 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: But you know, knock on wood, a healthy year. What 451 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: do we expect out of Paris Campbell this year? Yeah, 452 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean you talk about elephants in the room. This 453 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: is up there. I mean, everybody knows Paris knows it's 454 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: a contract year if he wants to continue playing football 455 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: at this level. It's a monster year for him, and 456 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: everyone's rooting for him. But it's just certainly you look 457 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: at the freak things that have happened to him, and 458 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: everybody says, oh, man, this guy can't stay healthy. It's 459 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: not as if Paris Campbell doesn't take great care of 460 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: his body and doesn't do the things necessary to have 461 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: healthy seasons. He's had foot, knee hernia, you got in 462 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: a car crash, you got a concussion. I mean, it's 463 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: not like these are soft tissue things where you can 464 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: point and say, man, this guy's not in great shape. 465 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: He's not conditioning himself. It's just freak sucky stuff. I mean, 466 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: let's just be honest with you. And so, I mean, 467 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: I personally feel like the guy should just go out 468 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: and buy a lottery ticket, because there's no one deserves 469 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: more good luck. You know, the odds should be in 470 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: this guy's favor considering the amount of bad luck he's had. 471 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: So is this the year for Paris Campbell. We'll find 472 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: out towards the end of the season. But so far, 473 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: so good. And you just again are rooting so intently 474 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: for him personally, because he's really earned it and he 475 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: deserves it. I think that's you really hit the nail 476 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: on the head there. May say just that these injuries 477 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: are not due to a lack of preparation or a 478 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: lack of care for his body. I mean, who catches 479 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: a fifty one yard touchdown and then breaks your foot 480 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: on it? Yeah, that has nothing to do with Paris 481 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: Campbell's ability to stay healthy. And just that's just terrible, 482 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: terrible luck. That's it's all that it is. And I 483 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: think so many times people, people on the outside, and 484 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, we were guilty of this sometimes too, just assume, 485 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: all right, well, he's hurt, we'll deal with him when 486 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: he comes back. But like Paris Campbell has had to 487 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: go through so much rehab and so many hours in 488 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: the training room away from the team and not being 489 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: out there, and the way that he has approached all 490 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: of this from a mental standpoint has been really impressive 491 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: and really commendable. And you know, you think about you 492 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: think about him, You think about Tekwon Lewis that you 493 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: wrote about Tekwon on Colts dot Com on Monday, another 494 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: guy who literally this dude has had some problems staying 495 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: healthy in his career. Again, not for a whole lot 496 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: that he's done. He gets us, he gets a sack, 497 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: and then on the next place gets an interception and 498 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: while he's returning it, his patelli slips out. Like for that, 499 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: For for those two guys to have those two injuries 500 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: happen to them last year, it's like both of them playmaking, 501 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: both of them playmakers. I mean, it's it's just that's 502 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: it's almost unbelievable that that could happen. But um, you 503 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: love those guys attitude and how they've approached it. And 504 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: for Paris, you're seeing it out here. The explosion, the speed, 505 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: the connection with Matt Ryan that we've talked about a 506 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: lot here, it's showing up and you really hope that 507 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: it continues to show up going into the regular season. 508 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: All right, JJ, hold that thought.

Let's start first, Congratulations are 524 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: in order on the new job. Unfortunately with training camp, 525 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: haven't been able to see every minute of the show, 526 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: but it looks like it's going fantastically so far. How 527 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: has it gone for you being on the air for 528 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: about three weeks on the show, Well, thank you it's 529 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: been an unbelievable transition. I was. I was on the 530 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: road for ten years, you know, eight eight of those 531 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: at CPS, and it was a great It was a 532 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: great ten years, and I learned a lot of football. 533 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: I was around a lot of great coaches and players 534 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: and the people I worked as a CBS, the analysts 535 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: and the playboff play guys. To be ready for a 536 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: show like this, you have to do that kind of 537 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: work to be able to come to the table and 538 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: provide stories and insights and analysts. So I don't think 539 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: I could have gotten this job without those ten years. 540 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: So you know, I had one gift, and then I 541 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: was given another gift to take on this job. And 542 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: it's been an unbelievable first couple of weeks that every 543 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: day I just can't believe. I have to wake myself 544 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: up sometimes in the middle of a segment and be like, man, 545 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: we are in the middle of a segment here, We're 546 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: not just sitting around talking about you know, the Colts 547 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: and how in Gockway is assimilating himself. And it's just 548 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 1: such a pleasant surprise in terms of, you know, what 549 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: I had been doing in my career to be able 550 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: to sit around the table and talk football three hours 551 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: a day is pretty special, Jamie. It's kind of like 552 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: when we talk to guys who come out of the 553 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: SEC and go to the NFL that the transition isn't 554 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: as great for some of those guys because of the 555 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: level that you're playing at in college football and that 556 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: was your beat. You were on the number one team 557 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: covering the game of the week for the SEC for 558 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: so many years. Being that you have so much familiarity 559 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: within that conference, how has that maybe helped your ability 560 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: to make this leap and has that always been something 561 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: that you wanted to do? Was the NFL always an 562 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: aspiration of yours? Because man, there is that environment of 563 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: college football that is like nothing else and it is 564 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: difficult to leave that. What was the draw for you 565 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: of a role with a daily morning show. It's a 566 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: completely different dynamic really than anything else in broadcasting, it 567 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: really is. So to answer the first part, the SEC guys, 568 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: you know that is just like NFL training camp. I mean, 569 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the SEC is a beast unlike anything I've 570 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: ever seen before. I was on the NFL sideline for 571 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: four years with CBS before I went to the SEC, 572 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: and so the preparation for those jobs are very different. 573 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 1: You know, the NFL guys, they're pros, they've intermedia training, 574 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: they're getting paid, you know, and then to go to 575 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: the college game and talk to these eighteen, nineteen twenty 576 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: year old guys. Some of them are walk on, some 577 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: of them are partial scholarships. I mean, the stories are 578 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: just they're rich with stories every broadcast and then and 579 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: then oh lo and behold. The football quality in the 580 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: SEC is unlike anything I'd ever seen before. And then 581 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: the stadiums of the Fantom. It was just the life 582 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: experience was fantastic, especially a girl from Minnesota. I had 583 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: no idea what I was walking into in the SEC. 584 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: But really, what I was able to convince my new 585 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: bosses at the NFL Network was that like, listen, you 586 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: look at any roster, I got eight to ten guys, 587 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: but I talk him to do every week on the SEC. 588 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: That's just riddled with guys across the league. So it's 589 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: really cool to see them now. You know. There's even 590 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: coaching changes that have happened, like Steve Sarkisian. I used 591 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: to walk around the Falcons games with him before the game, 592 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: talks about Matt Ryan and then he was at Alabama 593 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: and now he's at Texas like he's going to coach 594 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: one of the Mannings. Like it's just wild how all 595 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: of these things kind of overlap. But the SEC is 596 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: truly just a juggernaut in and of itself that has 597 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: really helped prepare me to see a lot of these 598 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: guys again after by four years with them. That's Jamie 599 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: urdall with us, and as Lara said, Jamie the show 600 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, it's it's so well done. And as 601 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's all about synergy, it's all about chemistry 602 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: with you know, the folks on set, your other co hosts. 603 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: How hard has that been to establish? It's probably the 604 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: least most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. 605 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: The guys are Yeah, Jason mccordy like a what a pro. 606 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: He retires and like three days later, if that he's 607 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: got this brand new job. I look at him sometimes 608 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: to my left and he's making points, he's calling for video, 609 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: he's breaking down plays. And the guy has never done 610 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: more than a week of television in his life, and 611 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: now he's just cruising through fifteen hours a week of TV. 612 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: Like it's like an ain't no thing. It's unbelievable. Peter 613 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: and Kyle. What a wealth of knowledge those two are 614 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: in a very, very different compacity. Kyle says some of 615 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: the most outlandish things, but it's relatable. He is like 616 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: the every man fan of football. That's the way he 617 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: explains things. Sometimes It just it makes me laugh, like 618 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: to tear Sometimes. Peter, I can just look at him 619 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: and I just know he's going to come up with 620 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: something that supports essentially anybody's argument. It truly is not 621 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: to get two into the weeds. But when we sit 622 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: there and I have my earpiece in, like, I don't 623 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: hear the guy's voice in my ears. I hear the 624 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: producers might hear the video that we watch, but they 625 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: do it on purpose because they want us to feel 626 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: like we're having this conversation, just the four of us 627 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: at this table, and it's so fantastic. I just I 628 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: cannot believe my luck that I get to be doing 629 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 1: this every day. So, not just has this been an 630 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: incredible past few years for you career wise, but personally too. 631 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: You're a mom of two. What has this transition been 632 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: like for your family and taking on a completely new schedule, 633 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: Because I know for well, you're, as you mentioned, you're 634 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: on the road for ten years, so early on you 635 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: were juggling that being a new mom and parenting and 636 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: all of those things. What has this transition been like 637 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: for your family, going into a completely different role for 638 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: you professionally, Yeah, it's I told my three year old, 639 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: and the fact that she's old enough now to conceptualize 640 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: this is pretty important statement for her. But I told her, 641 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: I get to put my suitcase away. And that's unbelievable. 642 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they for a long time, they don't know 643 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: what's up. I was leaving, I was coming. They just 644 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 1: kind of were happy when you were there and they 645 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: didn't realize when you weren't there. And my one year 646 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: old is still kind of in that phase, but she, 647 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: but my three year old really kind of understood what 648 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: the suitcase means. So we did move from Minnesota to 649 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: New York and lo and behold, my husband's career is 650 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: also you know, New York based, so he was coming 651 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: here a ton. And so what this really means for 652 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: all of us is neither of us have to travel 653 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: virtually anymore. And that I mean in this you know, 654 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: for we just experience. We just came off a COVID year, 655 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: not really traveling a ton the two of us, and 656 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: so we have this family dynamic, and then all of 657 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: a sudden we were hit the road again, and we're 658 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: just like ships passing in the night. My husband and 659 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: I would literally pass each other in the airport coming 660 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: and going on Thursdays. I would be on my way 661 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: to my football game. He would be coming back from 662 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: his office. And it was not really a sustainable family lifestyle, 663 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: to be honest. And so this job, for all the 664 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: great things that it does professionally, personally, I get to 665 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: stay home. I get to put my kids to bed 666 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: every night, you know, I get to have Thanksgiving at 667 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: home for the first time in eight years. I mean, 668 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: it's like, really, it's really a couple of special things 669 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: that I'm really looking forward to. I imagine there's probably, 670 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: though some pull at some point to have the opportunity 671 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: to some degree to maybe be on the road should 672 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: that opportunity to present itself. And that's one of the 673 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: great things I feel like in watching so many people 674 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: evolved with NFL Network is that you're not just locked 675 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: into doing one specific thing. There might be an opportunity 676 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: where you guys do good Morning Football on the road 677 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: or something like that. Do you see yourself maybe being 678 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: able to if there's an opportunity to do a remote 679 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: show or do some of those types of things because 680 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: you do have such strong ties to the live game 681 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: day type of coverage, do you feel like that maybe 682 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: there will be an opportunity once or twice a season 683 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: or something that could pull you back to wanting to 684 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: be back in that environment on a limited maybe capacity totally. 685 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: So like the International Series, those are huge, and I 686 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: would hope that the NFL network and the relationship they 687 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: have with those being their games, I would hope maybe 688 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: traveling abroad to put the show on the road in 689 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: that capacity would be unbelievable. And then obviously everyone everyone 690 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: wants to go and hang out at the super Bowl. 691 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: The problem with the Super Bowl is like these West 692 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: Coast Super Bowls to show us to be on the 693 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: air at like three am or whatever god forsaken time 694 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: in Glendale or in Los Angeles, and so it's like, 695 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: what guests are you getting. I don't even know if 696 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: you want that guests that wants to show up for 697 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: you at four am. So I don't know if I 698 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: want to depending on where they were the night before. Yeah, yeah, 699 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: exactly like Vegas. Maybe you catch somebody on the back end, 700 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: but like you don't want someone like waking up for 701 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: your show at four am in Glendale. What is your 702 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: schedule like right now? What is the wake up call 703 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: when you're on here at seven am? Yeah, I wake 704 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: up a four forty five. And I try to say 705 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: that like it's seven forty five, like it's just it's 706 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: not And I get in my card five. It's really not. 707 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: It's not like some heavy lists. I'm blessed with some 708 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: very gifted hair and makeup people. When I arrived the 709 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: studio and we're on the year at seven and but 710 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm home by eleven am, And that 711 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: I think is just so cool.

So then like next week, for example, the 714 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: guys and I were going to go out to lunch, like, yeah, 715 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 1: we just gonna go casually have lunch in New York 716 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: City after our show, probably still be home by one pm. 717 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: Like it's just kind of a crazy life existence. Like 718 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: Peter and Kyle, this is their norm. But I feel 719 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: like Jason and I already are like, so the first 720 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: day the show is and the guys are like all right, 721 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: and now I get to go home and it's like 722 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: nine sifty seven, am.

How refreshing is that now that 732 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: there's a platform for that for you? Because Larah and 733 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: I we've both done sideline reporting for TV and radio, 734 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: and you know, you maybe get in ten percent of 735 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: what you want to talk about throughout the chorus of 736 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: a game broadcast. But as you said, now you've got 737 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, two and a half hours, not including the commercials, 738 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, for dialogue for your opinions. How refreshing has 739 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: that been for your career? Oh? So refreshing? That's a 740 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 1: really good way to put it. Very um it really 741 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: has created this new this spark that I feel like 742 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: I've has have this as a part of my personality. 743 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: To be able to chop it up, um when it 744 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: comes to football, but to be able to put it 745 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: to good use every day is um it's really really awesome. 746 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: And you guys know, like from a sideline perspective, like 747 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: the worst thing you can hear from your producer is 748 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: something along the lines of like, all right, you have 749 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: twenty seconds to do this. That's but if you could 750 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: do it in fifteen, that'd be great. It's like, what 751 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: what was suppsed to do with that? Like I have 752 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: to shave off five seconds? Afart? You even start, like 753 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: take me five seconds to say Rob Gronkowski, Like how 754 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: am I supposed to like continue on with the story? Um? 755 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: So just just to have the space, And I honestly 756 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: had to tell myself, well in advance of the show 757 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: is like I get to talk slower. I get to 758 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: take my time. Like sometimes Kyle and Peter will be 759 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: going off and there's soliloquies and I'm looking at them like, wow, 760 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: they're eating up a lot of time right now. And 761 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: it's like, so what all we have is time. It's unbelievable. 762 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: Like I've had to retrain my brain a little bit 763 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: to adjust to this newfound freedom called time. That's amazing. 764 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: I love that. That's like one of the things like 765 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: you don't take it for granted. Once you have it, 766 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, we can just have this like free 767 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: flowing discussion and banter back and forth, and I'll have 768 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: time to make our points. Well, what I said to 769 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,959 Speaker 1: my husband, I was like, they've given me the keys 770 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: of the kingdom. Like, no one's gonna be able to 771 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: shut me up. There's no going back. You can't put 772 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: the genie back in the bottle. Well, one thing that 773 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: people may not realize is that you mentioned your seasons 774 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: covering the NFL, and you spend some time covering the 775 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts in that period where you were doing a 776 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: lot of the NFL prior to the majority of your 777 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: role being covering the SEC and on that care in particular. 778 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: And one thing I remember, and I'm going to remind 779 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: you of this is this was probably I don't know, 780 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: maybe twenty fifteen twenty sixteen.

So 795 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'd probably gotten back to the station about 796 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: three thirty and I had to have it done by 797 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: about four thirty and some cranking out of this package. 798 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: But I was like, what a kind human being, So 799 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: like I always just thought that was the sweetest thing 800 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: of you to take notice and then you know, spend 801 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: your time and then tweet to me.

A young woman that I worked with 809 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: on the SEC just recently took a job in my 810 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: hometown in Minnesota, and I had dinner with her before 811 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: I got to leave, and it's it said the NBC 812 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: affiliate there. She's new to the spoorts department, and I 813 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: was just so excited for her in this like budding 814 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: career essentially to be in this big market. But I'm like, 815 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: at in my head, I'm like, oh, you're three minutes 816 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: on the back end the news that ten thirty is 817 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 1: just gonna be so hard.

But it's easy 823 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: enough to just say like, hey, you're doing a great job, 824 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: because it's a hard job to do sometimes, and I 825 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: think that people really underestimate. I mean, obviously it's such 826 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: a competitive business. It truly is like it takes a 827 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 1: lot to a lot of hard work here to be diligent. 828 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: But I think people don't realize how much of a 829 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: rapport there is among people within the NFL and every capacity, 830 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: like it truly is like such a great like support 831 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: system of people always looking out for you, encouraging you 832 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: so much more so than I think that people have 833 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: this perception that it's like the Scene and Anchorman when 834 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: the two local news stations are like dueling back and forth, 835 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: right when you're with a team or you're with a network, 836 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: but you have a connection to the Colts. You were 837 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: covering Colts Jags in London, and this was a personal 838 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: connection because you happen to get engaged in London. Tell 839 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: me about like going over You're in like work mode 840 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: and then you know you're preparing for a game on 841 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: Sunday and then you have this like major life moment 842 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this in such a cool, 843 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: incredible place. Yeah, so I can't believe this So I 844 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: did three NFL teams over there. This was my second 845 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: one and it was the fall of sixteen, and so 846 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: my boyfriend at the time came over. So it's so 847 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: weird to say now, and he I went first. I 848 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: went like on Tuesday that game week, and then he 849 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: came like on Thursday or Friday. And um, he had 850 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: emailed Greg Gumble and Trent Green like in August, like 851 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: what is your your crew schedule that weekend and like 852 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: when are you meeting with the Jaguars and the Colts, 853 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: Like he was trying to find a time to like 854 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: do this like spectacular thing. So um, he ends up 855 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: finding this window, like I think we met with the 856 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: Colts in the morning on Saturday, and then we went 857 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: on this walk in Hyde Park, which is right where 858 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: we were staying in London, and it took him like 859 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: a three hour walk, like we have not walked that 860 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: long like in our in our tire eight years together, 861 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: Like why we had to walk for three hours? And 862 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: why I didn't suspect anything was up like during the 863 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: three hour walk, is beyond this? Go on? This like 864 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: entirely too long of a walk in London. Finally he 865 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,439 Speaker 1: finds like the back corner of this garden to get 866 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: down on one knee. But yeah, he proposes on the 867 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: Saturday that we have right like the next people I saw, 868 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: like we we facetimed our parents and then like I 869 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: go to my production meeting. It's like Greg and Trent 870 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: had been waiting. Look oh yeah, hey, Greg Gumble is 871 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: like finally, oh my gosh, Like it was so great, 872 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: Like I'm pretty sure we've got nothing's done during that 873 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: production meeting, and then I like it. But this is 874 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: what it becomes like the people that you work within 875 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 1: football have become your family. So now like the Colts 876 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: pr people like remember that this happened, and the Jaguars 877 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: and I mean it's just like that was that is 878 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: a memory that will never be taken from me. And 879 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: it's just so great. I love it. I love it. 880 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: It's so fitting for us to like we have football 881 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: is a part of our life. So the fact that 882 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: he came to one of my games to propose, it's 883 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: just perfect. No. I mean, you're and I heard you 884 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: talk about that on another podcast with Richard Dish. You know, 885 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: all those years you know doing you know, March Madness 886 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: and the sec on CBS. You know brad Nessler and 887 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: Gary became just like your second family as well in 888 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: that regard. Yeah, they I am. I am closer with 889 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: those two guys than I think anyone I've worked with. 890 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: They they were there, I mean, they were around me 891 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: through both of high pregnancies, the birth of both of 892 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: my girls. They have children themselves. I mean we are 893 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: incredibly close. You know, we went through COVID together and 894 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: we know each other like the back of our hands. 895 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: And I cannot credit those two enough with like everything, 896 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: so much that I learned in the game of football 897 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: and life and how to approach to do TV the 898 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: right way and creatively, and they get compelling and those 899 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: two change my life, no doubt about it. Hey, last 900 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: one before we let you go, and again you've been 901 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: so gracious with your time. Jamie Erdol with us from 902 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. Be remiss if we didn't ask you 903 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: about the cults. You're covering the league now, so you 904 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,760 Speaker 1: got your your thumb print there on the Indianapolis Cults. 905 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: What are you and your co hosts thinking about the 906 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: cults this year in a very crowded AFC conference, if 907 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: you will, so crowded, man, how I cannot believe the 908 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: AFC this year. We had Yaniken Gokway on the show 909 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: last week, and I'm so happy that he has found 910 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: his way to Indianapolis. It feels like the right fit. 911 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm you know, living him Minnesota when he had his 912 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: brief stop there and such a talent. But he's he's 913 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: just he's he's such a great guy and I just 914 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: really want to see this pan out well for him 915 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: with the for the Colts and with the Colts. Um 916 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan, I think you know, it's the Matt 917 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: Ryan arrival. To me when it happened, it was almost 918 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: like it's like I didn't know I needed it for 919 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: the Colts, like when when he when he's fit and 920 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: everything you guys have gone through in terms of your 921 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: quarterback roller coaster since Andrew Luck retired. Um, I think 922 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: I did Jacoby Rossett's first start. Um, It's just like 923 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: when Matt I was like, yes, that's exactly never didn't 924 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: even think about it, But that's exactly what the cold 925 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 1: you guys needed, a studying force. I think under center, 926 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: and I think he's still got he's still got in 927 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: plenty left in the tank to help the Colts. And 928 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, man, your run game, I mean, you're stacked, 929 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: You're you're strong. Frank Reich like is settled in nicely. 930 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a good solid team.

Time Now for the 946 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: Twitter mailbag JJ, one of your favorite times of the week. Now, 947 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: what have we gotten? Hopefully it evolved from tight ends 948 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: somewhere it does at Jake Williams four on Twitter answered 949 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: your whist jof Jake, how many tight ends do you 950 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: expect the Colts to have on the roster week one? 951 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: So I want to take this question. We can answer 952 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: what Jake's question was, but let's a little bit about 953 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 1: what we've seen from this group so far, because it's 954 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: a really interesting group, a lot of different kinds of 955 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,240 Speaker 1: players and there's a lot of young players. Um mate, 956 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: First up tight ends on the roster in week one 957 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: set at four? Three? Whoa three? Yeah? Really last year 958 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: last year was three right to start the season. So 959 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: I would start at three, maybe four or four tops? 960 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy? Because 961 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: great camps, I understand. Would I mean saying they kept 962 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: three last year? Four tops? Well, so between three or 963 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: four I'm hedging my bit. Gotta find the guys that 964 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: can play the specials. Talk. But you're you're Andrew Ogletree 965 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: looks as if this is not big at all. I mean, 966 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: this guy was a wide receiver at the University of 967 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: Finley and they did he wanted to switch positions and 968 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: move to tight end because he's a big dude. Naturally, 969 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: and they didn't even have a tight ends coach, right, 970 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: So then he moves the Youngstown State. He plays one year, 971 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: then he gets to drafted. You know, he has this 972 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: fantastic season. So yeah, he's my biggest surprise in a 973 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: good way so far in camp because he's intermixing with 974 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: the first team offense over a guy like Jilani Woods, 975 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: who the Colts took in the third round on Day 976 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: two Friday of the draft. And you know, Frank Reich 977 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: is really pleasantly surprised with him. He gets it. He's 978 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: a smart guy, he's got the athletic traits. We're seeing 979 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: one handed catches. So if the Colts keep four, he's 980 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 1: my fourth. And I think it's for just based on 981 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,439 Speaker 1: what we've seen from Ogletree. But something that Frank Reich 982 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: said on Saturday or Sunday whatever he was asked about 983 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: Drew is he's played good football. He's shown that it's 984 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: not too big for him. You still have to show 985 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: that you can play winning football. There's a difference between 986 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: just being good and then playing winning football for a 987 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: team when you're on the fifty three man roster. That's 988 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: not to say that Drew hasn't shown that yet, but 989 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: that's kind of the thing that you're looking for. So 990 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: for me, the number one guy I'm looking to watch 991 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: in these preseason games is Drew Ogletree because I think 992 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: that will go a long way to answering what Jack's 993 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: question is here. You both looked at me, but I'm 994 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna sat here. It was Jack Doyle, Moalley Cox, and 995 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: Kylan Granson. They had three tight ends, but they didn't 996 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 1: they didn't draft another guy on those two draft choices. 997 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: That's why we were looking at you like he had 998 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: three eyes. But I'm gonna say right now, we have 999 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: three individual guys that are all the same, not to me, 1000 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 1: all the same, but they are a starting front line 1001 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: of an NBA team. When you're talking about Moalley Cox, 1002 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: Ogle Tree, and Gilanni Wos Moyle Cox is the shortest 1003 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: guy that you're right, And now you've got Kyl and Granson, 1004 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 1: who Matt, no disrespect, he's your size. I mean he's 1005 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: a different element of different size. Do those guys all 1006 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,360 Speaker 1: work together that Kyl and Granson is a different model 1007 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: than the other three right play because the the inline position, 1008 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: the why in this offense, that's Moalley Cox, that'll probably 1009 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: be Gilanni Woods the f you can envision that's where 1010 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: That's where Kylin Granson lives. Drew Ogletree could kind of 1011 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: be a guy who could go between those two. Obviously, 1012 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: his wide receiver background would probably lend it more to 1013 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: being that kind of flexed out move tight end. But 1014 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: he said, hey, put me wherever you want, as long 1015 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: as I'm on the field and I can go there 1016 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: and make plays. I don't know if you can keep 1017 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: four running backs six wide receivers in four tight ends. Well, 1018 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: do you need to keep four running backs? Well that's 1019 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: not question. That's my question, and it's gonna it's gonna come. 1020 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: So you keep four running backs but only five receivers, 1021 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: but Hinz as your sixth receiver so to speak. There's 1022 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: that that flexibility that Niheem gives you, right, I think 1023 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: gives you a little more flexibility in terms of what 1024 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 1: this final roster will look like, just based on again, 1025 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 1: like you said, may take. He can play wide receiver 1026 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: and he can play running backs, So if you need 1027 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: him in either, he can do both. Give me something 1028 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: real quick down Philip Limsey, we know he's been around 1029 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, played some good years in Denver. Now he's 1030 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: a cold What have you liked early out of him? 1031 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: He's look good. He's shown some burst. You see why 1032 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: he was a thousand yard rusher. Uh. Some of the 1033 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: offensive lines he ran behind last year in what was 1034 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: it Miami? Two of the lower lower graded offensive lines 1035 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL, right two and a half yards per 1036 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: carry last year. Yeah, and he don't think that's on 1037 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. Now, he didn't have much room to operate there. Um, 1038 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: it seems like a pretty good fit if you're looking 1039 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: for that kind of Jonathan Taylor insurance back there where 1040 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,479 Speaker 1: you don't expect him. If all goes well, you probably 1041 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: don't need Philip Lindsay a whole lot this year. But 1042 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: if you do need him, you probably feel pretty good 1043 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: about it. Great stuff, mate, It is time now for 1044 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: your random question or excuse me, your random thought of 1045 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: the week. It's j J and I are on bended ear. 1046 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: Let's have it all right. So you guys have seen 1047 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: on social media Unique and Gockway. He's all about community relations, 1048 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,359 Speaker 1: helping the people out here. Yeah, he's impressive, but he's 1049 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: also been bonding with Colts fans by soliciting advice on 1050 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: new sack dances or go to moves after getting a 1051 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: huge play or a sack late in the game and 1052 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: crunch time. Jeffrey, what would your go to sack dance be? 1053 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: If I was talented and had athleticism, that's first, that's 1054 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: a big if, and I had to then celebrate me 1055 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: doing something that only a very very limited few people 1056 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,080 Speaker 1: on Earth could do. Yeah, I think I would go 1057 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: into uh boy, I'd go to old school. I'm older 1058 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: than you guys right now, so I mean i'd go 1059 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: into a little rock in the cradle, rock in the 1060 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Might just to the left 1061 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,359 Speaker 1: and to the right. It'd be real side. We need 1062 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,760 Speaker 1: video on this. Yeah, if you could see the hands 1063 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 1: moving right now, it'd be quiet. It's just like another 1064 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 1: classic white guy yet you know. Yeahs yeah, that middle 1065 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,879 Speaker 1: aged white guy dance. That's what I kind of would 1066 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: do if I was in my I don't know, man, 1067 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: That's what you do do when you watch the game. 1068 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: You just celebrate that way lower lower bike. It wouldn't 1069 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 1: be it wouldn't be special, But I would talk to 1070 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: all the fans though, That's what I would be. I 1071 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing the dance and stuff, but I'd be 1072 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: an animated guy, kind of a jerk. You wouldn't like 1073 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 1: me if I was on your team. Yeah, well, well 1074 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: I set that one up. Yea, Yeah, you don't have 1075 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 1: to change very much on that one. J J J J. 1076 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 1: Let's say it. I don't have I don't have the 1077 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: hip fluidity to play in the NFL, let alone to 1078 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,959 Speaker 1: be able to dance. And I mean no, I can't 1079 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: even do that. M No, I can't even shimmys. It's terrible. 1080 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 1: Um so I would Honestly, it's not even original. But 1081 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: my favorite sack dance was Willie Young. He played for 1082 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: the Bears. I think he was on the Lions for 1083 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: a little bit too. When he would get a sack, 1084 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,720 Speaker 1: he would cast a line and then reel it fish. 1085 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: It was great, it was. It was a great sack celebration. Original, subtle, 1086 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: but also like who doesn't like fishing in and out? 1087 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: You know? It was great? Go, I love it. Here 1088 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 1: we go, I'm in, I'm all in, mat tab we 1089 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 1: might have be doing that at halftime. What would what 1090 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: would yours be? Here? I would go. Jeffrey would probably 1091 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 1: understand this. Remember the kidn't play movies. Yeah, the house party, 1092 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 1: house party and yeah, yeah, so you do something whatever 1093 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: they call that, like the eighties version of the Funky 1094 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: Charleston or uh you know that the kickstep you know 1095 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 1: remember they lock hands? Yeah? I love it so like 1096 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: I'd have to teach Quitty pay that that that move. 1097 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: I think either him or Unique and got Way. It'd 1098 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:56,720 Speaker 1: be a two person operations. Kidn't play quidty pay quid? Yeah, 1099 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: you get a pay kid and play dude. You might 1100 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: have to run down from the box. He gets it 1101 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 1: after every sack. I've got him for twelve sacks. All 1102 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: the yellow there. I mean, Matta's coming down to do it. Guys. 1103 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 1: That's fun. I enjoy doing that. We got a lot 1104 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: more coming up to cover camp.

I'm coming from 1118 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 1: the rafters out of left field with Gorman's thought of 1119 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 1: the week. I need some and I need some help, boys, 1120 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 1: because you know you make me look smarter. But I 1121 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: talked to this guy, and I gonna tell you than 1122 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: I talk to this lady. I'm not gonna tell you 1123 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: why I talk. Youre a collage stolen material. I'm gonna 1124 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 1: talking to my neighbor over here. I'm not gonna tell 1125 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,720 Speaker 1: you who though, but number fifty seven on this cold straw. 1126 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: Ye tell me about Jojo doman that people are talking about. 1127 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: And do we possibly get another undrafted free agent this 1128 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: year to make this squad former safety Jojoe Dominot Nebraska 1129 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: dropping down the linebacker. It kind of fits a type 1130 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: in this defense. Last year, Gus Brandley had a similar 1131 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 1: type of player in Divine Diablo. Former safety turn linebacker 1132 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: kind of played a hybrid in that defense. There's a 1133 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: path there for a guy like Jojo Doman Sterling Weatherford, 1134 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 1: local kid from Cicero up here home new home of 1135 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 1: Casey Valier, Cicero, Indiana. Um, I think either of those 1136 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: guys have a pretty good shot. Again, you look at 1137 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: what Guss defense did last year. You look at some 1138 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: of the plays that they're making out here during camp. 1139 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: You see a path for them to make it as 1140 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. Yeah, and JJ is right, I mean 1141 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 1: they he definitely fits a t in. The Colts see 1142 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: this and they prioritize takeaways. The guy had nine force 1143 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 1: fumbles in his career in Nebraska. So he started as 1144 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,280 Speaker 1: a safety, moved a linebacker, but then he made plays, 1145 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: got the ball out. I think his forced fumbles are 1146 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: like eighth most in Big Ten history. So he played 1147 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot and you can see why. I mean, he's 1148 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: he's coming out here this this scene's not too big 1149 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: for him, and he's an undrafted free agent candidate for sure. 1150 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: That's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor. And again 1151 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: you can hear him all preseason and regular season long. 1152 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,439 Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. Jj Stankovitz on Colts Dot com 1153 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 1: big nights to Casey Value and Lara Overton for help 1154 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: him out.
