19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: I would if I could, but I can't. Last night,

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: twelve to nine, the final, the Colts moved to two

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: two and one on the season and sit right now

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: as it stands atop the AFC South. They beat the

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: Broncos twelve to nine, no touchdowns scored. In what was

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: I should have put this an interesting game, to say

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the least, you know in the show prior to this

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: my show, I should have given more props to both

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Deon Jackson and Philip Lindsay combined. They put up over

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: a hundred yards in rushing. Deon Jackson had sixty two

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: on thirteen carries. Philip Lindsay, the former Bronco, had forty

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: on eleven in the stand of one. Jonathan Taylor last

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: night and Chase McLaughlin four field goals. I thought Alec Pierce,

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: as I mentioned a little bit earlier, was fantastic. The

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: one thing you didn't notice last night and amidst all

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the negativity on how that game was played, you know,

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: and how ultimately you saw on Amazon Now, Michaels Kirk

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: curb Street clowned on it. The halftime pregame, postgame show

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: crew clown on it. Basically Football America was clowning on

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: it last night. One thing you couldn't clown on is

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the effort and the results from Alec Pierce, the rookie

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver and you saw as much as I've been

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: on Chris Ballard about the offensive line and the build

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: of this team, you saw exactly why they felt the

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: need to go out and get Stefan Gilmore. You talk

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: about paying off big last night. They don't win that

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: game without him, no way, shape or forman you could say, well,

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, Denver really screwed themselves. Russell Wilson was terrible.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: He screwed them He was the reason why they lost. Fine,

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: but you have to have somebody step up and make

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: plays in that situation. Stefan Gilmore did do not lose

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: sight of that big deal last night? For real Colts

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna win twelve nine? Was your final? All right? This

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: week's burning question courtesy of Casey Value. The Colts made

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: another change along that offensive line I've been talking about.

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Matt Prior went to right tackle, Braydon Smith from right

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: tackle to right guard, and Bernard Ryman at the rookie

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: made his first career starts at left tackle. The team

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: allowed six sacks. Is this line a combination that can

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: grow or is there more changes need to be made?

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: At JV ten seven, I'll let you guys answer this.

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: I'd pretty much know where you're going with the old

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: burning question here, because what they did last night didn't work.

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Six sacks, a couple more fumbles from Matt Ryan, a

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: couple of interceptions from Matt Ryan. Despite all of that,

64
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: they survived to win twelve to night at JV ten seventy.

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: For that reaction. A little bit earlier today, the head

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: coach of the Colt Frank Wright, he met with the

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: media regarding last night's Thursday night standalone twelve nine win

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: over the Broncos. This is how it sounds. Obviously, happy

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: to get to win, as we said, last night against

70
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: a good opponent in a primetime game, right in a

71
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: tough environment to play, but we found a way to

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: get it done, and very pleased with that. The grit,

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: that togetherness, the fight of the players, that's a lot

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: to build off of. You know, have a chance to

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: get through the film. Obviously it was a late night,

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: you know when we got back, so haven't gotten through

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: everything in all three phases, but you know, I had

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: a chance to see enough on the offensive side to

79
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, to acknowledge obviously be obvious that we need

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: to continue to find ways to get better there, just

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: be more consistent I think reduce the number of negative

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: plays that are killing drives. I think that's the big

83
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: thing there. And then you know, obviously we have the

84
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: weekend to recharge. Players have the weekend to recharge, so

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: that's good for them. So we'll continue, but again, happy

86
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: for this win, right, it's a big win. It's a

87
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: big road win. And then as you're aware, just as

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: far as injuries, Naham left the game with concussion. X

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: rays on Quitty's ankle are negative, but still about but

90
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: still evaluating the severity of that, So I'll open it

91
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: up from there. Joel ericson Frank. Quitty's injury has been

92
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: reported as a high ankle sprain. Is that accurate and

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: is I are a possibility? Still evaluating Joel Uh like

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: I said, was very pleased that the X rays were negative.

95
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: So haven't had a chance to sit with the training

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: staff for the Docks at this point to get a

97
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: full description of the severity of the ankle. Bob Kravitz, Frank,

98
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: going back for last year, this is seven straight games

99
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: where you guys have failed to score more than twenty points.

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: As much success as you've had as a play caller,

101
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: can play callers go into slumps, and do you feel

102
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: that you are in one of those slumps right now? Well,

103
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: we're obviously in a slump of scoring points. As you said, Bob,

104
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean there's the facts, shot the facts, so and

105
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that go into that. So

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: play calling certainly one of them. You know, I'm always

107
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: evaluating that, always looking at how to become how to

108
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: do a better job. Obviously have a lot of years

109
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: of play calling that I'm confident in, So I'm not

110
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: going to say that it's been perfect. You know, there's

111
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. Um, so I can

112
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: just I can just assure you that, you know, I

113
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: look at every aspect of it. Thanks Mike Chappell, grank

114
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: in that vein second game in role, you guys switch

115
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: up the offensive line and this with three players. Are

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: you just sort of searching or is this something you're

117
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: going to go forward with this group? Or because again

118
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: you probably it would admit, until you get the offensive

119
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: line fixed and get consistent, it's going to be a

120
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: tough slipping Yeah, no, fair Chap, I mean it is

121
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: a second week. I would say this. The first time

122
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: we change it up is really just a change at right, guard, so, um,

123
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: you know which which happens. So but anyway, but this

124
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: was a big switch this last game. It was a

125
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: big switch. So we'll continue to reevaluate that. I have

126
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: not even had a chance to get with the staff

127
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: yet and in us talk through those kind of issues.

128
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: We've just been talking through more the you know, the

129
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: play by play, player by player evaluating what happened in

130
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: the game. George Bremer, Frank. The offensive line issues obviously

131
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: would be frustrating under any circumstances. But does it add

132
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: to it right now when you see guys like Alec

133
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Pierce and Gelanni Woods, Moiley Coox, some of those receivers

134
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: are stepping up and starting to make big plays, does

135
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: it make it even more frustrate that your line is

136
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: making it hard to find consistency? Yeah, very excited about,

137
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: very excited about. Right we came into this year and

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: if I'm accentuating the positive, which you know you certainly

139
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: want to do in a win, you got to acknowledge

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: the negative and what needs to get better, but you

141
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: want to accentuate the positive and a win, and that

142
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: is you know, our young skilled players. I think we

143
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: came into the year wondering if we had enough at

144
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: that position. And I think we're starting to see that

145
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go, but I think

146
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: we're starting to see that the answer could be yes.

147
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: The answer could be yes that Alec Pierce could be

148
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: as build and you know Pitt is as build. He's

149
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: a beast, he's a number one receiver. Um, he's our

150
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: main guy. Alec is developing in a really good player. UM.

151
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell made a massive play in that drive at

152
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: the end where Matches threw him and to look past,

153
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: and he made the guy miss and got a ten

154
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: plus game. I was a massive play on that drive

155
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: put us in field goal range. Um. You know, Ashton

156
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: Dulan continues to make plays, you know, as a as

157
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: a significant role player. UM. You know, the tight ends

158
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: as a pass catching group, or we feel it's a

159
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: strong it's an asset to our team. So those are

160
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: those are things that make me optimistic. Those are things

161
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: that make me believe, you know, that that we can

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: head in the right direction. Not to mention, you know, um, obviously, uh,

163
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: you know in that situation. You know, it's been we've

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: had five games and now in four of these five games,

165
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: even though we've struggled at times. In four of the

166
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: five games, we've obviously been behind, and he's brought us

167
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: back into the game, giving us a chance to win.

168
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: Of course we won two of them, mister field goal

169
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: late in the one you know where we had a chance.

170
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: So what Matt is doing in the fourth quarter when

171
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: it matters the most is also impressive. I think that's

172
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: another positive to accentuate, JJ, Frank, how much additional self

173
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: scout can be done on this mini buy over the

174
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: next couple of days. Yeah, we do. We do a

175
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: ton of self scout. I mean week to week. I

176
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: don't think we could do any more than we do, honestly, JJ,

177
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: what like what it'll give me the opportunity to do.

178
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll spend the weekend in here, you know, looking at

179
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: our stuff, evaluating our guys and evaluating myself, Hey what

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: can we do to get better? But then also you

181
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: get a little bit more time to a look around

182
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: the league. Who's hot in the league, who's doing what offensively?

183
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, can you get one or two ideas somewhere

184
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: that kind of fit into what you're doing, or maybe

185
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: there's something new And we always look at that. Every week.

186
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: We got a big team of people that look at

187
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: that stuff. But on the weekend like this, you certainly

188
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: spend a little bit more time doing that. James Boyle

189
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: Frank match throwing a pick in four of the five games,

190
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: seven picks in five games. Obviously it's not all his fault,

191
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, with the way the offense is going. But

192
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: how much responsibility does he bear in helping to write

193
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: this ship and how do you all kind of bridge

194
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: that gap? Because it seems like in the fourth quarter

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: or when you all are down or have been punching

196
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: them out, he does not look like the quarterback that

197
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: has been you know, the first three quarters prior. Yeah, no,

198
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: you're right, James, I mean the quarterback writers always going

199
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: to bear a lot of responsibility about that. Matt knows

200
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: that he's, you know, for that responsibility for fifteen years, right,

201
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: just as a head coach and play caller, you know,

202
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: you bear responsibility that comes along with the territory. And

203
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll continue to say this, the guy's unflappable.

204
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: I wish you guys could be down there on the

205
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: sideline and see him in the fourth quarter and say, well,

206
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: why why are we not? Like well, yeah, but you know,

207
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just something unique about that. He comes alive.

208
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: It's he had another he led us on another game

209
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: winning drive. I think CONTI told me that past that

210
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: passed Brett Farve. I mean, you know, come on, now,

211
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: you know we're talking about a quarterback who just Pratt

212
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: passed Brett Farv for the most game winning drives. So

213
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: this guy knows what he's doing. And as you said, James,

214
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, some of the interceptions are on the quarterback,

215
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: some aren't, but as a quarterback, you take responsibility for

216
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: it all. We have to get better as a team. There,

217
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: Bob Kravitz, There, Franklin, And not to be a smart

218
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: eloc about it, but during the game, did you ever

219
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: take a step back and think, to yourself, man, this

220
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: is one bad offensive performance from both teams. Yeah, that

221
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: thought crossed my mind during that game. I thought crossed

222
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: my mind during the game, you know. And you know

223
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: it goes in and out pretty quick, Bob. I mean,

224
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, you you stay focused, but you're like, my goodness,

225
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: we are you know this is you look up at

226
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the score and you think, I've not been in very

227
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: many games like this, you know, but not been in

228
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: very many games like that. It was almost like that

229
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Houston game, you know, when we came when we came

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: back and ended in a tie, and didn't know how

231
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: to feel. It was like a little bit after that

232
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: game last night, I didn't know how to feel. I

233
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: know I should be. I know I was happy because

234
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: we won, and I was happy, and I am happy

235
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: that we want, you know, but I also know that's

236
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: not a good enough offensive performance. He was good enough

237
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: last night, and I know nobody wants to hear that,

238
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: but that's the facts. It was good enough last night

239
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: when it had to be Matt let us on two

240
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: point scoring drives that won the game, and uh and

241
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: the defense obviously carried the day and had a dominant performance.

242
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: But I literally didn't know how to feel. I knew

243
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: it was I knew it was bad. I knew it

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: was not a good game to watch, or entertaining or

245
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: low scoring game. But that's the NFL. I'm reminded when

246
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: I was here one year with Payton and the crew.

247
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, we had a six to three winning against Cleveland.

248
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: You know, it was ugly, but it was six to three,

249
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, and we won the game, and so you

250
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: got to take those all right, We'll do a few more.

251
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Joel Ericson is Dennis Kelly and option in the starting lineup? Okay, um,

252
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: I just heard you through Contie's phone. Um, is Dennis

253
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: Kelly and option in the lineup. We're happy to have

254
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: Dennis on on our roster. Um. He adds that veteran presence.

255
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: Will continue to evaluate that he you know, as he

256
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: was coming off his injury in training camp, you know

257
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: you can see him getting more and more physically comfortable

258
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: and comfortable in the system. So love that he's here.

259
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: Will continue to evaluate. We'll do two more. Kevin Bowen, Frank,

260
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: there was a moment late last night where Matt followed

261
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: through and hit his wrist. It looked like on somebody's helmet.

262
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: He was kind of grimason for a minute. Anything on that. Yeah,

263
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: I haven't talked. I haven't spoken with him this morning, Kevin.

264
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, obviously talked to him

265
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: after the game. I mean it as tough as nails.

266
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: But and you're right, there are a couple you know,

267
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: obviously there were some bad plays, but he had a

268
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: couple unbelievable throws, you know, under pressure like that. So

269
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't think there's anything negative from

270
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: that from the game, all right, last one, Mike Chappele

271
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: franky with not human in protocol. And when you see

272
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: a player wabble like that after a place after the game,

273
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: did you talk to him? Did he I guess was

274
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: he okay? Yeah? I mean it was it was Yeah.

275
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: We saw him wobble right away, and it was like

276
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: we were all simultaneously on all the coaches simultaneously. We're

277
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: on a sideline. He's out, you know, he's out. Um.

278
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: That would come in and at halftime and the heam's

279
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: apologizing to me. You know, he's apologizing to me. You know,

280
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: at this is the mindset, right, and because he felt

281
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: great at halftime, he already felt great. Um, you know

282
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: said hey, you know he he obviously wanted to. You know,

283
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't say he wanted to come back in

284
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: and play. I mean he wanted to. He's like, I

285
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: feel fine. He said, I've been hit way harder than that.

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: I've been hit way harder than that. Um. But he's

287
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: just that's the kind of competitor and warrior is right,

288
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's why that's why there's been a

289
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: lot of talk about as coaches, we got to do

290
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: the right thing because you have to protect players from

291
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: themselves at times, and that that that's a that's a

292
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: perfect example, right of you know of an instance where

293
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, you see him take a hit like he does,

294
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: you know what kind of competitor is and he wants

295
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: to get back in the game, and he certainly seemed

296
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: fine talking to him, seemed totally normal. But you've got

297
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: to do the right thing. Frank Reich with the media

298
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,120

Speaker 1: post game feel of Insight Football here with Rick Vin Turrey,

335
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: and we're here to talk about the Colts twelve to

336
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: nine slug Fest win over the Denver Broncos. The Colts

337
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: win in overtime in Week five and they improved to

338
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: two two in one on the season. And it was

339
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: late night RV. The Colts arrived back in the Circle

340
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: City about five am. I got to bed around five

341
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: forty five, six o'clock. How you feel a man, any

342
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: rest or? Are you still dreaming about punts and sacks

343
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: and you know three and outs there? Well? I actually did.

344
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: I did. I hit my house, I hit my driveway

345
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: at five thirty, and I did get four hours of

346
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: uninterrupted sleep. So that's gonna get me through. I'll gas

347
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: out tonight about six o'clock. I'll be watching gun Smoke

348
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: at seven. Ain't nothing better than a classic rerun of

349
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: gun Smoke followed by Bonanza followed by Bonanza. I know.

350
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, thank God, thank God for Gilboard.

351
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. Yeah, we got a lot

352
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: to talk about, good and bad. Colts get a win.

353
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: You never apologize for a win. So yeah, I mean,

354
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: everybody knows how ugly that game was. I mean, you

355
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: had seven field goals, You had a dozen punts, twenty

356
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: five third down stops. She had four picks, six fumbles.

357
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: It was the first game in NFL history, Rick, I

358
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: think you talked about this on the plane, first game

359
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: ever that pitted quarterbacks with at least four Pro Bowl

360
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: appearances yet featured no touchdowns between Russell Wilson and Matt

361
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Ryan led offenses. So you've had close to twenty four

362
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: hours less than that to think about this win for

363
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, Rick, do you feel better or worse about

364
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: the performance in Week five? After some reflection? You get

365
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: a win, but still a ton of things to clean

366
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: up and some big concerns on this team going forward

367
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: into Week six against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah. And you know,

368
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: I you know, obviously the analyst in me and the

369
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: coach and me. I have mixed emotions. Now. My number

370
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: one emotion, though, is I am elated for the win.

371
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a Stevens season saver. That Thursday night,

372
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, and particularly Thursday night on the road is

373
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: just a freak show. I mean it's a it's a

374
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: freak show for all of us, but much less the players.

375
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: And it doesn't really matter, you know, how good it looks.

376
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: You know, they don't give you points for a beautiful victory.

377
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: They only give you points for the victory. And so

378
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: in that sense, I'm really elated. I know how hard

379
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: it is to win one game in the national football

380
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: like I know more than anyone. I mean, it's just

381
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: a fight, a dog fight. They never go as planned,

382
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're all different, and so you know, I

383
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: think I am elated from that standpoint that we now

384
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: sit to two and one, you know, with that and

385
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this later with the two biggest games

386
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: of the season, that the season will pivot on the

387
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: next two weeks. And the good news is getting out

388
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: of there on Thursday. We have a few days a

389
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: day to rest, but then we have some days to

390
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: fix some things. Now I'm not overjoyed I'm very happy.

391
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm very happy with the defensive performance, really lights out

392
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: defensive victory and a special teams victory. Obviously, Mac great performance,

393
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Hawk had a great performance, and our coverage teams were terrific.

394
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we knew we were really Washington

395
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: probably as their biggest threat to score, and we had

396
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: him bottled up and really beat the heck out of him.

397
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: And then don't forget I mean, this is a forgotten

398
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: play in the midst of all Grover blocks that field

399
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: goal er. This is a different game, you know. So,

400
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, special teams unbelievable. Now, I'm not overjoyed because honestly,

401
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: it was not a very good offensive performance. You know,

402
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: it just very difficult, and we're so flawed right now

403
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: on offense that it's it's hard to be overjoyed. I mean,

404
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: we have so much to fix. You talked about the

405
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. Well, you know, Matt Ryan had a twenty

406
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: point two QBR and Russell Wilson had a fifteen nine.

407
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, so what it really looked like is it

408
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: looked like the seniors tour. To tell you the truth, now,

409
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: the good news was the good news was is that

410
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: Ryan and we'll talk about this specifically, as always does

411
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: have the ability to play pretty good in that fourth

412
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: quarter where Wilson did not. Wilson really, between him and

413
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Hackett two of the dumbest game management deals I've ever

414
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: seen him on. Just absolutely ridiculous. To have the lead

415
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: and know that we couldn't score a touchdown till Christmas

416
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: and throw an interception in the end zone and and

417
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: fourth and to get in the gun and run the

418
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: drop out. I mean, the bad news is we're not

419
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: going to play a lot more Denvers like that. I mean,

420
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: they one thing both teams confirmed last night, and this

421
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: is the scary thing for me, is the Colts are

422
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: thirty second and scoring at thirteen eight in the Broncos

423
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: are thirty one. So I mean, you know that was

424
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: pretty much confirmed last night. But you know, in the end,

425
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: in the end, I'm elated because it is so hard

426
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: to get a win. We got that win, you know,

427
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: and at least for nine days, we are back in business.

428
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: That's Rick vent Terry. I'm Matt Taylor. And as we

429
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: stick on offense, Rick, let's bring up the elephant in

430
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: the room. You talk about the sacks, the offensive line

431
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: allowing six more sacks on Thursday night. It's the third

432
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: time this season that the Colts have allowed at least

433
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: five sacks in a game. And they change some things up,

434
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Smith moving to right guard, replacing Will Fries who

435
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: is replacing Danny Pinter. Matt Pryor flipped over from left

436
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: tackle to right tackle, and then ye Bernard Ryman got

437
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: his first NFL start at left tackle. Then the Colts

438
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: had to play Danny Pinter at center when Ryan Kelly

439
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: got hurt in the second quarter. So all kinds of

440
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: movement along the offensive line last night. What did you

441
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: make of the moves on a short week with no practice.

442
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: That's the first part of it. And then the second

443
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: part is what is now the best offensive line combination

444
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: for the Colts? Trying to find some consistency and some

445
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: reliability and protecting Matt Ryan. Even though I can't prove

446
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: it statistically when you give up six sacks, I can't.

447
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I can't. I could easily say, boy, it's not worth

448
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: a damn. I actually I actually like a lot of

449
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: it that I think the toughest thing is, and you

450
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: mentioned this here in your intro, the toughest thing was

451
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: doing it on a short week. When you do it

452
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: on a short week, there's x amount of coordination and

453
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it is just physical feel. It's

454
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: not chalkboard. You know, how do you pick up, attack,

455
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: go and twist? You know that's that you have to

456
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: play together to do that. You can't you know how

457
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: to do it on the blackboard, but it happens in milliseconds,

458
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: and you have to be able to do it. Um.

459
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: I think you know, with the exception of Pinner because

460
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: of the injury, I mean, the moves were made from necessity.

461
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean we've been awful. We have been awful physically

462
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: in perfect protection. We've been awful on Blitz pick up.

463
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, I think we we got We've gotten a

464
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: little better in blitz pick up the last two weeks.

465
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: That was horrendous in the first three weeks. But we

466
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: are getting beat bad physically. And it isn't just the

467
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: liabilities now. Uh you know the first time they run

468
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: a blitz, uh, Jewel comes in and he knocks Nelson

469
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: into into next week. I mean I just watched the

470
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: sack Reel just absolutely knocked him into next week. Uh,

471
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: you know, Ryman is gonna struggle. I mean, you know

472
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: he was out, he was gonna set up. He had

473
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: more flags than the United Nations, you know, to start

474
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: the game. Settled down in the second half, you know,

475
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: but again you're in your first start against the best

476
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: edge rushers in the game in a very tough venue

477
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: from the crowd standpoint, and we do nothing to help him.

478
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I mean, we want the one time we helped him

479
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: with Granson, Chubb ran through both of them. It was

480
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: like Grandson wasn't even there and that was the sack fumble.

481
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: But we're up and down Kelly. The first sack of

482
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: the game comes right from Jones, right up the nose

483
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: on Kelly's left shoulder. You know, later in the game

484
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: they run a tech stunt and you know they can't

485
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: Prior can't pass it off to h to Braden. But see,

486
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: that's that comes from not playing together. And then later

487
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: when they started putting Chubb and Um and Browning together,

488
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: that was our real demise because they were they were

489
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: just running over us. I mean, and and Prior couldn't

490
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Pryor couldn't take the inside move, just like you can't

491
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: at left tackle. Now here's what I think, you know,

492
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: I think basically the best thing you can do now

493
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: is keep a unit together. I would make one more move.

494
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 1: I would play Ryman. But the difference is, and I

495
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: think this is a weakness in Frank, is he does

496
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: not handle his liabilities. You cannot go into that game

497
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: and know you're gonna have Prior on one edge and

498
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: then rookie on the other edge and not nudge with

499
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: the tight end, not chip with the back almost every

500
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: single play. It's not like you do it once out

501
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: of twenty times. I mean, that's coaching malpractice in my opinion.

502
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: And then these guys have to shore up. But I

503
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: would I would stay with Ryman at left tackle because

504
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: he has the best skill set and I would help

505
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: him as a rookie. I would obviously stay with Nelson,

506
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what, he is the biggest flop

507
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: right now that we've had. Kelly's no better. And then

508
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: I would have put Prior Matt and I told you

509
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: this before the game. I would have put Prior at

510
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: right guard and left Branding at right tackle because I

511
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: don't think Prior can hold up on the edge. I

512
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: think when you it's speedy edge wrestlers, it doesn't matter.

513
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: And now with all these three four defenses. You're getting

514
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: a good edge guy both on the right side and

515
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: the left side, and you're moving them around them third down.

516
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: So it doesn't you know, used to say, well it's

517
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: just the left tackle, but it's really the edge tackles

518
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: and so and then you got to stay with that.

519
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: You got to coach them, you got to get them together.

520
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Now with a little bit longer week, that should help.

521
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: But you got to be able to pass off stunts.

522
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: I mean, and you can't pass off stunts unless you

523
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: play together. So once you make them move, stay with

524
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: it and make sure that you grow every single week.

525
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: But you know, right now, there's no question about it.

526
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: The twenty one sacks, countless hits. I mean, it's just

527
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: it's it's record setting. I mean, it's like we've never

528
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: seen that around here. And you know, and obviously some

529
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: of those players in there right now, Pro Bowl guys,

530
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: they're they're overrated now. Whether or not they can recapture

531
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: what they what we think they are, you know, that's

532
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: one thing. But I would challenge them, I'd say, right now,

533
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: you're the most overrated group of guys I've ever seen.

534
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: Not good. That's where the Colts are at right now

535
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: and the numbers bear it out. That's Rick Venturi. I'm

536
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. Let's switch over to the defense and talk

537
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: about some positive things, because the defense was terrific, as

538
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: you said, but a fourth quarter team all year. They

539
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: didn't give up a touchdown. The Broncos were just two

540
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: for twelve on third down. And Rick, for me, it

541
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: was the Marquee players on defense stepping up. You got

542
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Buckner two sacks, Gilmore had a pick two pass. The

543
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: defense had the game winning play there in the end zone.

544
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore with some big tackles, he had a big

545
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: pass breakup. Grover's Stewart has been a stalwart on the

546
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: ground stopping the rush. He had the big block field

547
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: goal there in the second half. But it was the

548
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: high dollar guys. It was the Marquee guys stepping up.

549
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: And the Colts needed that on a short week and

550
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: they definitely got it from their Marquee players on defense. Oh, Matt,

551
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: You're so right. And I'd also think our Marquee defensive coordinator,

552
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought that one thing that was really important, one

553
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: thing where we were playing good defense with the exception

554
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: of Kansas City, was first half. I mean, we were

555
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: ranked thirty first, even though turnovers affected it, which you're

556
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: still thirty first. I mean, that's that's still not good.

557
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: I thought that Gus really was more aggressive early, I think,

558
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: and I think that's a sign of good coaching that

559
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, you know, this is a little bit

560
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: of a problem. Let's jump start this thing. Let's get

561
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: him fired up, let's get him emotional, you know, sense

562
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: of urgency. And there was a couple of blitzes right

563
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: in the first two series that were atypical of what

564
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: we've been doing. And see, I like that because I think,

565
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: all right, you're taking an approach, you're saying, Okay, we're

566
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna change this. And I that's why I don't even

567
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: mind the shake up of the offensive line, because at

568
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: least you're you're telling your team we're gonna fix this.

569
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna do things to fix it. Now. Where the

570
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Colts were great in terms of they won situation, they

571
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: won situational football. And it starts, you know, and you

572
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: you hear me talking about this. I talked about it

573
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: from my twenty seven years in the league. It's all

574
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: about getting the red zone offensively and defensively. And we

575
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: were and we really held the Broncos oh for four

576
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and that is huge. You know,

577
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: when you keep a team out of the end zone

578
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: oh for four in the red zone, you're not going

579
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: to lose him any games when you play that way.

580
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: And then the other specialized situation was two for twelve

581
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: on third down, which meant we got him off the field.

582
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: We didn't let them ever have sustained drives. I mean,

583
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, their punter won his letter and one day.

584
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean just basically with his repetitions. And then of

585
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: course the big fourth and one, the fourth and one,

586
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, with the game on the line, totally concur

587
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: with you. Are big players? Are big players played good

588
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: in big, big games. That's a cliche, but it really

589
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: does matter. Gilmore, What can you say? I mean, you know,

590
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: if it's not for Gilmore, I don't know. Despite everything else,

591
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: Gilmore still saves the day. And not only with the

592
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: two big plays at the PBu and the pick, but

593
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: he also with one exception kind of a flute play.

594
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: He really shut down sudden. He and if you shut

595
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: down sudden with Denver, they have no path offense. Really,

596
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: they really don't. You know, as long as you can

597
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: keep the rush on Wilson. They have none. And he did.

598
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: He matched up and that's the other thing gust did well.

599
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: He matched him up over there and he stuffed him.

600
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean he could you know, he just he couldn't

601
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: breathe actually Gilmore was all over him. Um Buckner again.

602
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: That Buckner, Now, this is probably the best game in

603
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: a long time. I mean, he he dominated it with

604
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: big plays, you know, two sacks. I mean he was

605
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: up in the backfield, h the you know, the big knockdown.

606
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was a that was an NBA block shot.

607
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: And Kenny Kenny was outstanding. I mean, as Kenny was

608
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: back to Kenny. Kenny hasn't played as well early this season,

609
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: but this was the Kenny Moore we know, very good

610
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: on setting the edge on the run. Two big plays

611
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: in the back end, you know, and so I thought

612
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: those you know, those big plays in the course Grover

613
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: really tough stuff to run. The block field goal is

614
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: the game, really, if you think about it, deally the game.

615
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: So that's our big four. And then you know, and

616
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: then we got you know, we got good spot play

617
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: out of Ingockway. I think what they're doing is they're

618
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: alternating dio in Ingockway using dio a little bit more

619
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: on first down and he's flashing and then that allows

620
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Ingockway to come in on specialize and he flashed, so

621
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: that was better. And of course we're having a great

622
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: season out of Franklin. And then the young Thomas kid.

623
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that. But I mean right, I

624
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: mean well, I mean that is that may be the

625
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: NFL surprise. No doubt the rest of the the West

626
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: of the world will know after last night. That's why

627
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: a primetime game is so big for a team and

628
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: a player. But again, as you said, I think you

629
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: hit it, you nailed it. It's uh, you know our

630
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: big players on defense really played well. That is catapill

631
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: That's Rick, that's Matt. I'm John A Caesar Sports Book

669
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: jav We are joined by Ryan Wilson, who covers the

670
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: NFL and the NFL Draft for CBS Sports. Ryan, thank

671
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: you so much for the time. How you doing. I'm

672
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: hanging in there. I'm probably doing a little bit better

673
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: than the Frank Waik who got to win. But I'm

674
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: sure he's wondering where does he go from here? Because

675
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: you know that game could have gone either way, and

676
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: both ways felt like hard to watch if you were

677
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: a fan on your couch trying to joy some football

678
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Well, that's exactly where I'm going to start.

679
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean, twelve to nine victory in overtime on Thursday

680
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: night football, not really what we were all expecting to see.

681
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: But what were your biggest takeaways from watching that game?

682
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: From afar? Well, it's funny, you know, do a podcast

683
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: after the games with my buddies CBS, John Breaching, Will Brunson,

684
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: then John Breaches dad kick for the Bengals back in

685
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: the day, Jim Breach, the great Bengals kicker back in

686
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: the late dadies, early nineties. And I asked John the question,

687
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: KSAs me and he said, you know what, the special

688
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: teams was great, butter day the job they blocked the

689
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: kick against McManus to say, those three points right, So

690
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: were the bright spots? Um the defense got after Russ

691
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: Wilson a little bit obviously, stuff Gilmore had the huge

692
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: interception in the end zone. Um, that's a good development.

693
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: And look, Frank Wright talked about it after the game.

694
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: It's a win. I don't know what necessarily to make

695
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: of it, but I'd rather be sitting here at two,

696
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: two and one right now than than what's that one? One?

697
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Three and one? Is already to do the math with

698
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: the prize. So I think those are the positives you

699
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: you went, you went on the road. They're the team

700
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: at the top of the division. They all have two

701
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: lens sacks. What's in the see in Indianapolis. So you're

702
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: you're in it if you can just figure it out.

703
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure how you figure it out at

704
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: this point, four or five games into the season. For

705
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: not Graymond, the rookie struggle not necessarily surprised. Rookie struggle

706
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: all the time, but but it almost felt hazardous to

707
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's health at points during that game, the you know,

708
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: the time that he did not have didn't have to

709
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball. And finally, I'll say Alc Pierce, he

710
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: was a pleasant surprise. They forever need hit a number two,

711
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: and he feels like he's going to fill that role,

712
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: which is great news. Once they get the Office of

713
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: Line tour it though now there's a don't want to

714
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: dive into I want to start with someone you just

715
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: brought up in Alec Pierce. I know that one of

716
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: the things you do cover is the NFL Draft. It

717
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: looks like Michael Pittman, he's kind of clear cut number

718
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: one receiver and Alec Pierce is really sliding into that

719
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: number two role. When you look at where he was,

720
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, in the projection in the draft last year

721
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: and kind of where he's performed, is he right on

722
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: par with what you thought? Here's the thing, It's interesting.

723
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: Some teams really liked him a lot, and some teams

724
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: weren't certain. If the skills that he exhibited at Cincinnati,

725
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: we can look out he was dominated. Those are necessarily

726
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: translated right away. I remember talking to Sauce Gardner and

727
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant at the combine last year and moments after

728
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: a couple hours after Alec Pierce had the insane vertical

729
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: in the forty time, and they said, no, that's not

730
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: surprised to us. We saw that every single day in practice.

731
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: That's about what we expected, and we're seeing that translate.

732
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if he would consistently separate down the

733
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: field based on what I saw at Cincinnati, but he's

734
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: been some someone that Matt Ryan can lead on and

735
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: to trust. The rookie at this point, this early in

736
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: the season says a lot about Alec Pierce to the

737
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: football player. So I think it's it's turned out to

738
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: be a good pick. And you know, there's been some

739
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: fans have been frustrated with how some of these traffics

740
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: have gone recently for the Colts. But I think this

741
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: appears to be a good one because, as you know,

742
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: you need to find someone to help Michael Pittman out,

743
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: and I think that Alec Pierce can be that guy.

744
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: I think jo Lonny Woods can be that guy tight

745
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: end once he gets a little bit more experienced as well.

746
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: So those are good signs. So those are something else

747
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: to point out and say, Okay, here are reasons for optimism. No,

748
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: by the way, Jonathan Hill didn't play last week. We'll

749
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: be getting him back too. We're talking with Ryan Wilson

750
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: of CBS Sports Now. One of the guys that's throwing

751
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: the football to Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman is Matt Ryan.

752
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: He's definitely had some struggles early in the season. Do

753
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: you look at the struggles and say that they're all correctable? Well, yeah,

754
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: you hope so, right, You hope that this isn't the

755
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: case that the Thursday night game was an exhibition between

756
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks who are now well passed their prime, and

757
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: it certainly didn't feel like that. A month ago. Going

758
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: into the season with the optimism for both teams, I

759
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: think the optim line again, that's something that you have

760
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: to figure out how to duct take that thing together,

761
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: because these were the concerns in Atlanta with Matt Ryan,

762
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: at least especially down the stretch of his career there

763
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: when the topic from very good is that he was

764
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: running for his life every snap, and no quarterback, and

765
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: especially one who's in his mental late thirties and not

766
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: particularly mobile to start with, is gonna have a lot

767
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: of success when the offensive line camp block for him.

768
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's correctival. I think he's better

769
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: than Carson Winston was a year though, But that team

770
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: a year ago they were incomprehensible loss to the Jaguars

771
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: away from going to the playoffs. This team doesn't look

772
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: like that, but again, they're two towing one and they're

773
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: right at the top of the division. So a month

774
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: of the season figure some things out. However, you have

775
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: to do it and hold on for dear life, because

776
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: if you can find a way to protect Matt Ryan,

777
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: I think we'll see the guy that we saw in

778
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta and not the guy that we've seen for much

779
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: of the first month of this season. We're talking with

780
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: Ryan Wilson, who covers the NFL in the NFL Draft

781
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: for CBI at Sports Now, Swiping switching over to the

782
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: weeks late here in Week five, it's kind of an

783
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: interesting thing. We've only got one game that features two

784
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: teams with winning records, with the Packers and the Giants.

785
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: Really kind of shows you the parody of the NFL,

786
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah. I think that game's in London, right,

787
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, Yeah, so you you have to travel

788
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: across the pond there just to see it. Yeah, And

789
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting point, the parody angle, because I

790
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: was thinking about that after the Week four games that concluded,

791
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: thinking there's it's hard to find a team that's truly

792
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: and utterly dominant. I mean, look that the Chiefs looked

793
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: great there the night, but they also eleven days golf, right,

794
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: so there is no clear cut. The Eagles are a

795
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: fun team. They were down fourteen oh last week against

796
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: the Jaguards and came back, and they're the only undefeated team.

797
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: But every other team you look around half the divisions,

798
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: the team at the top of the team's plural at

799
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: the top or five hundred. So I think that is.

800
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: That is very telling and a lot of ways good

801
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Sort of half joking that we were

802
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: long gone of the days where the Payton Man is

803
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: and toime Braids of the world. If you don't have

804
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: to talk about what this team is eleven O are

805
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: they going to go undefeated? In those conversations towards them December,

806
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: which sort of got drawn out and it became boring

807
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: after a while, and now we're just left with the Eagles.

808
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks they're going to go undefeated,

809
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: and everything else is trying to figure out, Okay, which

810
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: team is really good based on their latest performance, which

811
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: could have been a mediocre win, a great one, or

812
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: a truly hard to watch one. It's been, as you know,

813
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: so much up and down, so much variation in the

814
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: way these teams have played. Now you talk about the

815
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: Eagles the only left unbeaten team in the league. They

816
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: made the big Draft day trade acquiring A J. Brown

817
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: from Tennessee to join him up with DeVante Smith and

818
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. There are the Eagles quietly the best team

819
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL, just outside the record or is it

820
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: just the record is what it is? Right now, they're

821
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: definitely the best team in the NFC. I feel like

822
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs a lot, even though both

823
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: those teams have one loss, But I think Ajan Brown

824
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: was a huge acquisition. DeVante Smith is obviously one of

825
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: the best shown wide receiver in the league. Kalen Hurts

826
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: has evolved each year and he's turning into something true

827
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: and special. And the credit Nick Sirianni for second year

828
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: head coach from going to from the offense last year

829
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: for the first month of the season where they threw

830
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: the ball what felt like attempts a game, to understanding

831
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: what Jalen does well, having some balance and offense, having

832
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: playmakers around him, having that offensive line, which we've talked

833
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,959
Speaker 1: about some teams are currently searching for, and then having

834
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: an absolutely dominant defense at times that can get after

835
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: at all three levels. And you know that at the

836
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: unicorn of a situation, but when you have it, you

837
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: have to take advantage of it, and so you're only

838
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. Hurts to take advantage of his

839
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: opportunity and absolutely balling out. But I think there's the

840
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC and probably top three overall. Again,

841
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: the Bills and Chiefs. It's hard for me to turn

842
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: from those guys, but Philadelphia has earned all the respect

843
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: they've gotten at this point. Well, final thing on the

844
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: NFL before we dive into the draft real quick. The

845
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: AFC South have been a wild division. The Colts currently

846
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: tied it first at two two and one. We've seen

847
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: regression from the Titans and some progression from the Jags.

848
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: How important for Trevor Lawrence? Was Doug Peterson higher and

849
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: is the Jags maybe the best team in this division?

850
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson might be the most important storyline that we

851
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: don't talk enough about as on the national level. It

852
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: also just reinforces is what rbin Meyer was or wasn't

853
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: I dealing during his time in Jackson. It's it's literally

854
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: night and day. So huge get for Trevor Lawrence and

855
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: his development. There was some pushback a lot of pushback

856
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: and for being honest about the signing of Prishian Kirk

857
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: and Zay Jones to the money, the deals they signed,

858
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: they've been huge in terms of providing weapons, they're number

859
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: one and number two and receptions for that team. Evan

860
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: Ingram Sun to when your deal from the Giants when

861
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: he under performers are tied. End is number three. They

862
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: have James Robinson on Travis at NU providing help in

863
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: the backfield. Trevor looks like a first overall pick, and

864
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: that defense is really really good. I think they are

865
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: the best team in that division. They probably played with

866
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: the most consistency over as we head into Week five

867
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the league, and it's it's an

868
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: interesting thing to watch because typically the Jaguars have not

869
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: been very good, at least in recent history. Blake ports

870
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen they went to the championship game. But

871
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: typically there are three or four or five one outfit.

872
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: So this is something different. And again credit to Peterson

873
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: and Trevor. Lawrence sort of jumps starting this thing. That

874
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: X team the Colts see as they come into town

875
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: a week from Sunday, we're gonna flip over the NFL Draft. Now,

876
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: I know it's a little early, but I don't know

877
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: if it's ever early. When you talk about the NFL Draft,

878
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: there's already mocked drafts out. I know you've already done

879
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: a couple when you look at where the college football

880
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: season was prior to the year until now, who is

881
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: maybe your biggest surprise for a guy that we're probably

882
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about when April rolls around, that maybe

883
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: we weren't discussing before the college football season started. Well, Well,

884
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Loves was on the radar for sure, the quarterback out

885
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: of Kentucky detend Sate transfer, and he has not played

886
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: great this season. He's splashed, but I've been saying it

887
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: for a while. He talked the NFL teams and they

888
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: liked all the tools that he has, both physically and

889
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: above the neck. And I think he's going to be

890
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: a guy that that's gonna get drafted pretty high. And

891
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: it may surprise some people. This draft class at the

892
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: quarter position is much better than it was a year ago,

893
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: and that makes things interesting for fans and media wants

894
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: to get closer to it. But a bigger surprise for

895
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: me was Anthony Richardson out of Florida. He only tempted

896
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: sixty passes. I think last year in reaches is obviously

897
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: there and he's since transferred out. There's on the state,

898
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: I believe, but Anthony Richardson that Utah game looks fantastic,

899
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: Florida game looked abysmal, Tennessee game looked a little better.

900
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: And I think if you can handle the roller coaster

901
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: riot as Anthony Richardson experience, because he is short of

902
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: an experience. He does so many things that no one

903
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: else are very few people on planet Earth can do.

904
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: I watched him and he reminds me a little bit

905
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: of Dante Culpepper, a little bit of Josh Allen in

906
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: terms of the athleticism, the arms, think, the ability to

907
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: move around the pocket, and Josh Allen ran like a

908
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: four to eight or something four seven five of the

909
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: combine and he's outrunning people regularly on the once he

910
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: gets outside, and Richardson's much the same way. I think

911
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: he's a better athlete, but I think he's just to

912
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: keep out on him. He may return to school, which

913
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: probably might be in his best interest, but if he

914
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: comes out, there's gonna be a team that's gonna take

915
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: a gamble on him, and if he hits, it's gonna

916
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,960
