1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Hey, Ronnie, facing your former team here in the Eagles.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: They're coming to Lucas Oil Stadium. What's that going to

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: mean to you in terms of any extra added juice

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: for you going to this game against a team that

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: you played for last year. Uh No, I mean, I

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: think at the end of the days, it's motions will

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: be high and intensively be up just because it's the

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: next game. You know, we understand what this game means

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: to us. We have a good challenge at hand, especially

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: defensively with a good offense coming in town. Of course,

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of guys over there,

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of experience with them, and so it'll

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: be good to compete. But you know, once you're getting

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: between those white lines, man, there's there's no sting as

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: his friends, and so I know they're gonna bring their best.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna bring my best as well. And we're

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: just looking forward to going out man and putting good

18
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: stuff on tape as a team, knowing what we did

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: last week and we want to repeat that and have

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: to say success this week. How much can you help

21
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the Colts offense given your experience playing in Philadelphia on

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: their defense under Jonathan Gannon. Uh. You know, I talked

23
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: with Matt a little bit, trying to give him a

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: little but the tips on some of the guys, their

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: tendencies are ways. And I was in that scheme for

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: a year, so I told him, you know, if he

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: needs any help, if if I help in any way,

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm here. But obviously they're probably still running

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: some of the same scheme I see. But I know

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: any good coach man, he they changed things up. You know,

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: they self evaluate after a year, so I know they

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: have a few new wrinkles too. Nick Sirianni was here

33
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: for three years as the offensive coordinator. You were with

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: him last year as a head coach. What was your

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: experience with with coach Sirianni. I had a very good

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: experience with a coach. I thought he was he was

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: a man for the job. He's a leader of men. Uh.

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: He teaches the game. Uh, he understands how to you know,

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: bring guys together. He really emphasizes connecting. Uh. And he

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: and he breeds uh sense of competition, and you know,

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's what they have there

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: in that culture. Uh, there's the very competitive and everything

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: that they do. They're tough. You know, they they stay hungry,

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: and he's been doing an amazing job. So this eight

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: and one start for them not a fluke, right, They're

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: they're pretty for real based on your experience and then

47
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: what they put out so far this year. Yeah, I

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: mean I think as you look at them on tape,

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: you know you don't win eight games by mistake. You

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: know you're doing everything right. Uh. They're turning in the

51
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: ball over defensively, and they're making very minimal stakes on offense.

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks playing well, Uh, making the right decisions. You

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: can see. You know, he's getting the ball into playmakers

54
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: hands and he's making the right place when when his

55
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 1: numbers called. Uh, so we're gonna have to play play

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: tough man. Uh, it's gonna take all three phases to

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: get this done. Good thing is we're at home. You're

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna need to fans to show up and show out,

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and you got to give him something to chair about.

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, this defense is all the way up top

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: five and a lot of different categories. You're only giving

62
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: up about twenty points per game in the last month

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: or so, including you know this last time out against

64
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Why is this defense sort of hitting it

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: stride at the right time. I think we're just all

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: starting to understand one another while playing our part during

67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: our one eleven consistently. Uh, you know one thing, I

68
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: know we'd like to improve on his turnover. So that's

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: that's a huge emphasis this week, and we gotta win

70
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: in the turnover battle if we want to have a

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: chance to win. But you know, right now, man, we're

72
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: having fun. We want to keep holding ourselves to that

73
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: standard um and keep sewan why you know, we're one

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: of the best. They last one obviously the defense with

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: a huge blow with you know, the news of Shack Leonard.

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been out there a ton this year,

77
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: but he has been a motivational piece for this defense.

78
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: He's still a leader inside this locker room. Just your

79
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: feelings on seeing his season coming to an end, it's

80
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: very you know, unfortunate to you know, see this season

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: and a lot sooner than than we all envisioned. I

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: know how hard he worked to get back, and I

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: know what that how that is battling back from injury

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: man and Shacks the ultimate warrior, ultimate competitor. To be

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: able to see him day in and day out to

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: be able to put himself back in position to get

87
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: out in the field. You know you hate to see it,

88
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: but you know, knowing that this surgery, I'm sure you know,

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: will help him be able to bounce back and and

90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: make a speedy recovery so that you know, when his

91
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: time is called again, he'll be ready and he'll get

92
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: back to uh, you know, knowing what he does best, man,

93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: making plays, turning the ball over and being a maniac.

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, I was able to witness that. You know,

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: his energy is contagious and you feel it, you know,

96
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the minute that he enters any space in his building,

97
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: and so he will be miss um. I know his

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: voice will uh because he will continue to hear his voice.

99
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Of course, can't wait for him, you know, to get

100
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: back here, uh, you know, to enjoy I guess his

101
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: journey with us. Rodney, thanks for the time, No problem, man,
