Speaker 2: seven five with you until seven o'clock tonight. We are

19

Speaker 2: discussing week two for the Colts, say sixteen to ten

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: loss to the Green Bay Packers coming up in just

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: a few minutes. On this opening segment, we'll be joined

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: by head coach Shane Steiken and then starting on segment

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: number two, we'll bring you some roundtable conversation on the

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Colts with former Colts coach Rick Finn Turrey and former

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Colts offensive lineman Joe Wrights. But the Colts are now

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: oh to two on the season, their first oh to

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: two starts since twenty twenty one. It was the first

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: road game of the season for the Colts as they

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: fell behind the eight ball early. Let's talk about the

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: game and a little bit more detail. We do that

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: on the game rewind. The first half on Sunday really

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: tough to swallow. The Colts ran just one play on

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: the Green Bay side of the field and then opening

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: half Indianapolis ran just fifteen plays in the first half.

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: They had the ball for less than seven minutes before

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: halftime as the Packers ran all over the Colts in

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: that first half of the tune of two hundred and

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: thirty seven rushing yards, the third most an NFL team

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: has allowed since two thousand. Green Bays featured back Josh Jacobs.

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: He had over one hundred yards before halftime, and the

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Colts did adjust. They played the run better in the

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: second half, giving up just twenty four yards rushing in

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: the third and the fourth quarters. But the Packers did

44
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: what they sought to do on offense, run on the

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: edges against the Colts and take the pressure off of

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: backup quarterback Malik Willis, who was making just his fourth

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: career NFL start. Willis didn't have to do much. He

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: attempted just fourteen passes, completing twelve of them, and the

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: Colts didn't record a sack and they had just one

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: pass broken up. Green Bay was able to run at

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: fifty three times on Sunday, the most running plays for

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: the Packers in a game since nineteen seventy eight, and

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: all of that contributed to another lopside a time of

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: possession game. For the second straight week, the Colts didn't

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: possess the ball for even twenty minutes, and the turnovers

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: for the Colts accentuated that as well. Anthony Richardson was

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: seventeen for thirty four in the passing game, did throw

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: three in including a hail Mary pass that was picked

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: off in the final play of the game. He tossed

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: one touchdown that came to Alec Pierce, but that didn't

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: come until the final minutes as the Colts pulled within

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: one score and to make matters worse, the Colts also

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: experienced some injuries at lambeau Field defensive tackle to Forest Buckner,

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: he was playing on a pitch count with a bad back,

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: but then he injured his ankle in the second half

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: he left the game, and then moments after Buckner's injury,

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: the Colts lost Leatu Loatsu with a hip injury. He

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: did not come back. And those injuries are on top

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: of the Colts playing without Juju Brentz and Julian Blackman

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: in the secondary. On the bright side, running back Jonathan

71
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: Taylor had a big game rushing. He went for over

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: one hundred yards for the seventeenth time in his career

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: and with his rushing total, he passed Tom Maddy for

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: the sixth most rushing yards in team history and again

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: his seventeen to one hundred yard games that's the third

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: most in Colts history. All right, ask promise. Coming up

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: on Segment two will be joined by Colts analyst Rick

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Vanturi and Joe Rights. They'll take your social media questions

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: a little bit later on tonight. Get those in on

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: x using hashtag Colts Roundtable. You can also use that

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: same hashtag to submit questions and thoughts for head coach

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen, who joined us now on this first segment

83
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: tonight as he rolls into studio here at the moment.

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: This conversation is brought to you by Citizens Energy Group

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: here on a Monday night. Coach, another tough game for

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: the Colts in week two. You did some good things, obviously,

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: though there's still a lot to work on and clean

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: up going into Chicago next Sunday. How are you feeling

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: about the team's performance today a day later, obviously after

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: pouring over the game film.

91
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 5: Obviously not our best performance on all three phases. So

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: we got to be better. It starts with myself. But again,

93
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: I have a ton of confidence in these guys. I mean,

94
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 5: we're in week two right now. We got so much

95
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 5: football left. But we got to get cleaned up. Obviously,

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 5: we got to get off the losing category and get

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: a win this weekend, get ourselves to one and two, all.

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: Right, just for the sake of this audience. I know

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: you talked about it a little bit earlier today with

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: the media. Any update on the injuries from the game,

101
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: update on maybe Leontu Latu or where DeForest Buckner is.

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Buckner as X rays were negative, but he does

103
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: have a sprained ankle and then a lot too. I

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: don't have an update as a hit. We'll sell the

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: week progresses.

106
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: All right.

107
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: The defense obviously, you know, tough start to the game,

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: surrendered those two hundred and thirty seven rushing yards in

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: the first half. Again, going back to the tape, what

110
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: stood out on film as to why the Packers were

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: able to run the ball and get to the edges

112
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: to start the game.

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: Well, first off, I'll give them credit. The Packers had

114
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: a good plan run plan. But again for us, you know,

115
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 5: stopping the runs of mentality, we have a mentality that

116
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: we can you know, allow them to get rushing yards

117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 5: and also fundamentals and technique, you know what I mean,

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 5: And we got to play fast and physical and that's

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: what it comes down to going forward.

120
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, the second half was a different story, right, not

121
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: that you just wash away two hundred and thirty seven yards,

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: but they only ran for twenty four in the second half.

123
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: Did anything change up front or was that mentality there?

124
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: Credit to our guys, to the coaches, we you know,

125
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: we adjusted and and the guys, you know, challenge each

126
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: other in the locker room, and we got to fix

127
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: going in the second half, all.

128
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: Right, the offense. Then they finished with three hundred and

129
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: thirty eight total yards. You had nineteen first downs, but

130
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: just eighty of that came in the first half on

131
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: fifteen plays. What made it tough to get the offense

132
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: kick started.

133
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 5: I think obviously we weren't able to get into a

134
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: rhythm there. Obviously we had the turnover on the second drive.

135
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: We were moving the ball and had to turn over there.

136
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 5: And I think we had six plays in the first quarter,

137
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 5: and we got to start fast. I mean, that's the

138
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: biggest thing. You always try to start fast every week.

139
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: And it was one of those games that you want

140
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: to really just put away. You just forget about it

141
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 5: and like get it cleaned up and move on to

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 5: the next week.

143
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's something else you don't want to think about,

144
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: but it's there, with the time of possession in the

145
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: first two games, twenty minutes or less in each of

146
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 2: the first two outings. I know you were asked about

147
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: this earlier today, But how concerning is that to you?

148
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we got, we got.

149
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: We can't give up the big runs, you know what

150
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 5: I mean, the you know the five, six, ten, twelve,

151
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 5: you know, because when they do that, they can control

152
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: the clock pretty good. So we got to be really

153
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: good on you know, first and second down against the

154
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 5: run or if they're throwing it to get off the

155
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: field there then offensively too, we got to maintain drives.

156
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: You know, it goes both ways. We got to play

157
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: complimentary football on both sides of the football.

158
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: Moving forward at Shane sticking with us here on Colts

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: Round Table Live tonight on ninety three five and one

160
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: seven five the Fan. And this is a total compliment

161
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: from me. I mean, you come in here every Monday night,

162
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: win or lose, and you have a totally upbeat personality.

163
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: You're always really positive, which I really admire about you.

164
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: Where where does that come from? And what's your message

165
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: to the guys after that zero and two start as

166
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: you try to put some of your personality back into

167
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: the team if you will.

168
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think part of it is being

169
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: in this league, you know, for fourteen years, is there's

170
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 5: so many ebbs and flows, there's so many ups and downs.

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: I've been on teams that started zero and four I've

172
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: been on teams that started one and four that made

173
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Last year, we're three and five. You know,

174
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: obviously you don't want to start that way, but obviously

175
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: you get that first win and then you kind of

176
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: get on a road, you know, a little momentum, You

177
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: get some momentum going, and then it just builds and

178
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: builds and builds. There's ebbs and flows. So that's why

179
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: I never get too high and never too low on

180
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 5: these things, because obviously in this league, you could win

181
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: four in a row and then you could get humiliated

182
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: quickly fair in a row, you know, So you got

183
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: to keep a positive attitude through this whole thing a

184
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: week in and week out, no matter what happens.

185
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a few questions from the fans

186
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: to close out here. Submit your questions on X using

187
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: hashtag Colts round Table. We've got some good submissions here

188
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: so far. Coach Dominic is asking coach why didn't Jonathan

189
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Taylor see the field in the fourth quarter if he

190
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: wasn't injured? Was it just because we had to throw

191
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: the ball so much in the fourth quarter.

192
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're throwing it there pretty good. Obviously we're down

193
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: sixteen to three, and I think we got it. Obviously,

194
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 5: we had one run there at the start of the

195
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, and then we got the ball back I

196
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: think with like ten thirty left, you know, kind of

197
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 5: backed up there in our own territory, and so we

198
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 5: were throwing it there, and you know, obviously we're not

199
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: scheming up you know, pass routes for the running backs

200
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 5: in those situations. So we had Trey in there and that's.

201
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: How it went, all right. Jack's question is up next.

202
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: He is asking how concerned are you with Anthony Richardson's

203
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: overall accuracy? The overthrows are there, and some of the

204
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: passes that weren't intercepted, I should say that that had

205
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: a chance.

206
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 6: To be Yeah.

207
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 5: I always think this with the young quarterbacks. The more

208
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 5: you play, the more you see, the more you learn.

209
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 5: And uh, obviously you know he's played with five or

210
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: six games, and I think that's only going to continue

211
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: to improve as he continues to play.

212
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: It goes along with irv's question, how much are you

213
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: still working with Anthony on his decision making and his

214
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: interpretation of defenses?

215
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we go through that process every week,

216
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And again, it goes back,

217
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: young player. We're working through those things and we'll get

218
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: it corrected. He'll, he'll, he'll, he'll get rolling.

219
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: Shane sticking again with US Colts Roundtable live tonight here

220
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: on ninety three five one oh seven five. The fan

221
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: bart is up next on the submission there. Did you

222
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: see the Packers putting extra attention on Pierce in the

223
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: deep game after what happened last Sunday to the Texans? Yeah,

224
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: they definitely did.

225
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: Obviously they played some shell defense there. They didn't want

226
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: to give up the shots over their head, and obviously

227
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: they wanted to rally and contain the run, and that

228
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: was their game plan going into it and keeping guys

229
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: over the top.

230
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: All I got time for a few more here. Tracey's

231
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: up next. What's been your assessment so far of ad

232
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 2: Nai Mitchell? Seems like he and Richardson are having a

233
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: hard time getting on the same page.

234
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

235
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: I think he's a hell of a route runner, obviously,

236
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: but I think it's a second game the NFL on

237
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: him and Anthony. Obviously, that takes time, you know, that

238
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: receiver quarterback relationship building, and that takes reps and reps

239
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: and reps, and I think within time, it's only gonna get.

240
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: Better, all right, Last one from Sam, the defensive injuries

241
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: are mounting. How does the defensive staff decide to rotate

242
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: bodies during the game and when we have so many

243
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: guys who were already banged up.

244
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think those conversations take place throughout the week.

245
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: You know, obviously some guys are game time decisions, but

246
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: we have those conversations throughout the week.

247
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: How we rotate those guys.

248
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: In Indeed, all right, the Bears are up next game

249
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: number three. You're back at home for two straight at

250
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil, starting with Chicago then Pittsburgh. Again. I know

251
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: it's early on in the week here, but what does

252
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: the early scouting report look like on the one in

253
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: one Chicago Bears.

254
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: I think they play fast, they play physical on defense

255
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 5: for sure. Obviously they got a young talented quarterback over there,

256
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 5: a rookie mom. They got a ton of weapons on offense,

257
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 5: so that we got to be ready for. So we're

258
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: excited for the challenge. Though coming up this Sunday.

259
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: I doubt about it. That Shane sticking again. Colt's around

Speaker 3: The sun did come out this morning, which always helps.

315
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: And speaking of sun, yesterday up at Lambeau, that was

316
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: a rare hot day for mid September. I know for you,

317
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: being on the wrong end of the call isn't fun,

318
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: but I'm just curious. What's it like calling the game

319
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: at Lambeau maybe the cathedral of all football stadiums in

320
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: the world.

321
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: Well, Rick, feel free to chime in on this. It

322
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: was hot. It was about eighty five degrees at the U.

323
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: I guess the climax of the temperature yesterday. I did

324
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: read Rick where it was the second warmest home game

325
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: in the history of the Packers franchise at eighty five

326
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: degrees yesterday, second warmest game ever at lambeau Field. But Rick,

327
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: I love it because it's it's the closest thing to

328
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: a college atmosphere. You know, you have the great Traditional Bowl,

329
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: a really old school football environment. Not that you know,

330
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium isn't great, or other places around the

331
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: NFL aren't great. But what I'm so impressed by with

332
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: lambeau Field, Rick, It's it's over sixty years old, but

333
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: nothing about it looks old. There's no dilapidation at all

334
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: within the you know, the foundation of the building if

335
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: you will.

336
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, they made a high They maintain a high standard

337
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 6: at every level. We'll have to tell Joe. I think

338
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 6: this is the first time that you and I have

339
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 6: done the pregame with sunglasses on. It was the sun.

340
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 6: It was right, it was Joe, it was right in

341
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 6: our face. It was open air. I mean I had

342
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 6: I had the pits going before the game.

343
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: I can attest to that, and I'll.

344
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 6: Be honest with you. You know, I still even after

345
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 6: the you know, my forty third season and covering or coach,

346
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: and I still get chills when I turned when we

347
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 6: turned on the Lombardy Way, and there it is, right there.

348
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 6: But I've never feared it because I and I've been

349
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 6: lucky enough to have some success there. Because it's a

350
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 6: great venue. It isn't a it's not a place that

351
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 6: just the noise drives you crazy affects the game. It

352
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: really really doesn't. So you know, I had the chills,

353
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 6: but I was sick to my stomach on the way out.

354
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: I haven't actually, you know, I'm gonna have to take

355
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 6: some MAYLOCKX later today because I still haven't spit this

356
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 6: one out.

357
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's what we're here doing tonight until seven o'clock.

358
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Hopefully we can get to that point with you here,

359
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: Rick and Terry Joe writes again, I'm Matt Taylor. A

360
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: lot to talk about tonight, But we lead off our

361
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: roundtable discussion. We're gonna do that the rest of the

362
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: way here. We're gonna lead off with some breakdown of

363
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: the game film from yesterday. We do that on a

364
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: segment called the tail of the tape.

365
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: Baby raising hell to day.

366
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a way to go.

367
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: Fullas bang bang player bang bang, keep the.

368
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: Hammer down, keep talking to one another minute, clean it up.

369
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: That's all. Get ready, get ready, Yeah.

370
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, tail the tape. Time here on Colts Roundtable Live.

371
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights, you're up first. We give the notebook to you.

372
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: What notes did you jot down after you watch the

373
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: game film from a sixteen to ten loss for the

374
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: Colts in Green Bay.

375
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: When I watched the film this morning, you know, I'm

376
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: gonna give three kind of big takeaways. And obviously I

377
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: know we're going to get into the run game and

378
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: what happened, and everybody's talking about that. But when I

379
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: think of it from a thirty thousand foot view, watching

380
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: the game this morning with a clear ahead and maybe

381
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: not quite as much emotion, although still had some watching

382
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: again this morning, the first one for me was turnovers.

383
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: And you look back the last twenty years, and coach

384
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: knows this. If you're minus two or if you're plus

385
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: two like Green Bay was, you have an eighty two

386
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: point three percent.

387
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: Chance of winning the football game. And I understand that.

388
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: You know, Richardson's young and he's trying to make plays

389
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: and maybe force the ball in a couple interceptions, but

390
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: bottom line, we have to take care of the football.

391
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: The football isn't just for the Colts. The football is

392
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: the program. It's the whole state. It's all a Coults

393
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: nation that watches you. And we got to do a

394
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: better job of one taking care of the football and

395
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: two creating turnovers. Otherwise we give ourselves no chance. So

396
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: turnovers number one. Number two was what I would call

397
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: the lack of complimentary football. Football is not a game

398
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: that's offense and defense and special teams all siloed. You

399
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: do what you can to play complimentary football, playoff one another,

400
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 3: and you know, try to win the football game. And

401
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 3: obviously our defense, you know, was abysmal in the first half.

402
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: They ran at thirty four for two thirty seven. We

403
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: had the ball for less than seven minutes.

404
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 4: But that's the issue. They run the ball down on

405
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: our defense.

406
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: They're tired, it's hot out there, and then we go boom,

407
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, three and out give it right back to them.

408
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: And our possessions in the first half, with only having

409
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: fifteen plays with have no points. We didn't do a

410
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: good job of giving our defense a chance. And I

411
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: think this team, as they're younger at the quarterback position,

412
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: we're working through different stuff. We have to do a

413
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: better job of playing off ourselves. And even if you're

414
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: not scoring, if you have an eight ten to twelve

415
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: play drive, you give your defense a break. And so

416
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: you know, really being a little bit more connected, you know,

417
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: with all three phases of the game, I think is important.

418
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: And then the last one I'll say is think players

419
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 3: not plays. And I know, coach, we always talk about this,

420
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: but in critical situations, our best player yesterday was Jonathan Taylor.

421
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: And I'm sure we'll get into that third and one

422
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: call and the speed option, but Taylor touched the ball

423
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: fourteen times, average nine point seven yards every time he

424
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: touched the football, And think players not plays. You're the Packers,

425
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 3: Malik Willis. You know that they're going to try to

426
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: run the ball. They're going to try to keep the

427
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: ball out of his hands as much as you can

428
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: and make somebody else beat us.

429
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 4: And we did not do that.

430
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: And so for me, and then the other thing about

431
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: players is we got a player step up when you

432
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: know we there was you know, critical penalty on Quintin

433
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Nelson there which killed us in the first half. Seemed

434
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: like every wide receiver had a drop. When you're working

435
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 3: through some stuff and you got a young quarterback, your stars,

436
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: your Pro Bowlers, your five Stars, whatever you want to

437
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: call them, they have to be guys that are reliable

438
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: and you can count on play after play after play.

439
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: So I just think, again, schematically, I think we need

440
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: to do a lot of things differently, but you know,

441
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: critical situation games on the line, high level, think players,

442
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: not plays. And it was one, make Maleik Willis throw

443
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: the football and we never did that. And then two

444
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: the best player on the field was Jonathan Taylor and

445
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: he proved it almost ten yards of touch. We got

446
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: to find a way to get him the ball more

447
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: than fourteen times. I think overall in the football game.

448
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 6: It is a bit of a shock to me. I

449
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 6: just can't remember when a cold team was so dominated,

450
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: so destroyed in the first thirty minutes. And really, Matt

451
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 6: it was just it's a tale of two franchises. Really,

452
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 6: Green Bay coaching staff. They rallied their troops after a

453
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 6: devastating open loss and losing their franchise and terrific quarterback

454
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 6: in Game one. They had to change quarterbacks with a

455
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: kid that's been there for a cup of coffee. They

456
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 6: had seven days to get them ready, So they took

457
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 6: a kid and they installed a game plan that was

458
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 6: one totally predictable, but brilliant, you know, while the coach

459
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 6: schematically and physically phoned it in. I mean, two hundred

460
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: and sixty two yards to eighty two in the first half,

461
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 6: two thirty seven rushing when you knew it was coming

462
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 6: and knew the edges they were gonna they were gonna

463
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 6: run inside, and the way they were going to keep

464
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 6: you honest was on the edges and then keep the

465
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 6: ball for that twenty three minutes and five seconds, you know,

466
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 6: and really, do we not get the strips as Jacobs

467
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: is going in, which is a good play. But if

468
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: we don't get that, it's seventeen and nothing, I think

469
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: with like five minutes to go in the second quarter,

470
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 6: and you know, it just it just they came out

471
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 6: on fire and they attacked us, you know, and we

472
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 6: played it. To me, we had the urgency. They just

473
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: looked like a summer Monday in Grant Park in training camp.

474
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 6: They were better tactically, they were better emotionally and certainly

475
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 6: physical and I think in that sense I had I

476
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 6: have to say it. I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

477
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 6: Their team was constructed better, more depth. They out coached us,

478
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 6: and they damn sure outplayed us. And in that first half,

479
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 6: you know, we put ourselves in such a hole that

480
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 6: even with a more solid second half, we never really

481
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: could climb out of right, you know, And you know,

482
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 6: again at the end of the day, and Joe's kind

483
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 6: of hit on it, but you know, at the end

484
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 6: of the day, you know, the two hundred and sixty

485
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 6: yards rushing, uh you know, ten for seventeen. Now, that's

486
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 6: ten for seventeen conversions on third down and the Colts

487
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 6: are two for nine. So that's why the ball moves

488
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 6: with one team and it's three and out with the other,

489
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: you know. And then you know the two legitimate turnovers,

490
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 6: you know, the third ones a hail Mary, I don't

491
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 6: count that, but you know, just before that, he threw

492
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 6: it right to the linebacker and he dropped, and you know,

493
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 6: and then the time of possession is just killing us.

494
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 6: I mean, you know that the opponents have had the

495
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 6: ball over eighty minutes in the in those first two games.

496
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 6: It's just absolutely crazy. And then we talk about we

497
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 6: couldn't stop the run, and we knew it was coming,

498
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: and we knew the edge was coming. But at the

499
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 6: end of the day, Willis has a one hundred and

500
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 6: twenty six point eight passer rating and the week before

501
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 6: it's one hundred and fifteen. So, you know, I just

502
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 6: don't understand it, you know, and there and we'll get

503
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 6: into it, but there are some third downs that are

504
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 6: third and five and we're all fifteen yards something like,

505
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 6: what in the world is that? And I totally agree

506
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 6: with Joe and I said it on the air on

507
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 6: the you know, and I don't, you know, I understand

508
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 6: the call on third and one, but again, think players

509
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 6: make sure that Jonathan Taylor or you know, car you know,

510
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 6: has the ball in those situations. So yeah, it was

511
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 6: just it was just a bridge too far, a hole

512
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 6: too deep, and man, we got a lot of soul

513
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 6: searching to do here in every aspect of the franchise.

514
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 6: There's got to be at some point accountability from top down.

515
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 6: This just can't continue.

516
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: When the game ended, you know, and you're kind of

517
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: drowning your sorrows. I instantly thought, this is a man

518
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: in the mirror week and it all happens at different

519
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 3: points in the season. But this is everybody's got to

520
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: look themselves in the mirror, to a man and understand

521
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: what do I have inside and what kind of fortitude

522
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 3: and how things got to be differently because the definition

523
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: of insanity, right is doing the same thing over and

524
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: over and expecting a different result.

525
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 4: And we have to, we need to.

526
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: There's no other way than to have a completely different

527
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: effort and output. And that starts with all the inputs,

528
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: you know, to a man, players, coaches, you know, everybody

529
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 3: in the building. Believe me, I've been a part a

530
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: lot of those and it's been my own fault a

531
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: lot of times. But that's what I thought, man in

532
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: the mere week, because this is one of those that's

533
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: going to test your metal and you know, we're going

534
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: to see kind of how this team responds.

535
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, get off the mat zero and two to start

536
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: the season for the first time since twenty twenty one. Hey,

537
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: Colts fans, remember the weather authorities are Fox fifty nine

538
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: in CBS four, Indiana's largest and weather rate certified most

539
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: accurate weather All right, that's the tale to say again,

540
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: Rick Venturi and Joe Wrightser Long, I'm Matt Taylor. When

541
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: we come back, we're going to roll out the Colts

542
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: con meter. All right, you've heard of the def con

543
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: when it comes to the military. We're using this same

544
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: idea with the Colts and some areas that have plagued

545
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: them through two games. We'll discuss the lack of time

546
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: of possession, the rushing defense, and some injury through two

547
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: games going into Chicago in Game three. That's coming up

548
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: next when we come back here on Colts Roundtable Live

549
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,120

Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts. Back again here with Rick Van Turrey,

561
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights. I'm Matt Taylor, on ninety three to five

562
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: and one oh seven five the fan, as promised, we're

563
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: gonna get into a segment cold the colts con meter,

564
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: all right. The military uses the def con that prescribes

565
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: the five graduated levels, if you will, of readiness for

566
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: the US military, it increases in severity from deaf Con five.

567
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: Deaf Con five is least severe, def Con one is

568
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: most severe. That's, you know, for lack of a better term,

569
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: a state of war is imminent. So let's use the

570
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: same concept. Obviously, not as we're we're not trying to downplay.

571
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: We're talking about football here, right, so we're gonna keep it,

572
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: keep it light. But as it relates to some of

573
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: these areas that have played the Colts with their zero

574
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: to two start on the colts con meter, fellas, where

575
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: are you first with the rushing defense? We chronicled it.

576
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: They are in the open. But the Colts allowed two

577
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven rushing in the first half, Joe third, most

578
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: an NFL team has allowed since two thousand. Backers did

579
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: exactly what a lot of people thought they would with

580
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: backup Malik Willis at quarterback, the hand of the ball

581
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: off on the edges to Josh Jacobs, Jayden Reid, and

582
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: Willis attempted just five passes there In the first half.

583
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: Jacobs had one forty six on twenty nine carries, but

584
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: he was over one hundred yards before halftime. And now

585
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: through two games, the Colts have allowed four hundred and

586
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: seventy four rushing yards. The last time the Colts allowed

587
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: two hundred yards in consecutive games, you have to go

588
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: all the way back to twenty seventeen. So Joe, you're first.

589
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: Where is the Colts rushing defense through two weeks on

590
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: the Colts con meter five to one for you going

591
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: into game three?

592
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going Colts con won right here, Matt to

593
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: me and I get the Houston a little bit. Okay,

594
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: we did want CJ. Stroud to beat us. We're playing

595
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 3: a little bit differently. They came out with a great

596
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: game plan and a really good pickup and mixing and

597
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 3: ran all over us. But in this game it's different

598
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: because you know they're going to run the ball. You know,

599
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: Willis does not want to throw the ball. And I

600
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: give Green Bay credit. They had a creative offensive scheme.

601
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: They were coming out in shotgun. You know, they had

602
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: a lead full back in there. They were running guys

603
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of different directions. A lot of plays they

604
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: were pulling their backside guard and tackle and running it

605
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: back the other way, and you know that puts the

606
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: linebackers in conflict because you don't know necessarily where the

607
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: play's going and reading your keys. But we used to

608
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: say no edge, no chance. You got to set the

609
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: edge on the defense, and we did not do that

610
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: at all. They continue to capture edge, and then when

611
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: you're playing more zone coverage and your corners are off

612
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: the ball, there's just a lot of room to run

613
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 3: the football. And again coach mentioned it, if they don't

614
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: fumbl the ball in the four yard lind it's seventeen

615
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: to nothing. And even on that first drive they had

616
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: a couple penalties, twenty yard play wiped all the way back.

617
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: Then you come back with a thirty two yard of

618
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: the next play. So to me, it was just an

619
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: abysmal performance. And you know, we did not change anything

620
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 3: schematically the whole game, especially in that first half, and

621
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: Green Bay just continue to do what they do all.

622
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: Right, Rick, where are you Colts con meter five to one?

623
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: With the rushing defense that's allowed over four hundred yards.

624
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 6: Can you go higher than Colts come one? I mean,

625
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 6: can you go actually hire one plus plus plus plus.

626
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's awful, honestly, and I attribute

627
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 6: it to three things. Part of it is talent, it

628
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 6: really is, and usage of talent. I think the fact

629
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 6: we're rotating guys that really can't play the run. If

630
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 6: you don't believe me, just just take out in the

631
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, you know, go to a go to a

632
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: play with eight twenty seven to go. And I've been

633
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 6: saying this all year and last year with Brian and

634
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 6: Adabari in there, and they even have land in there

635
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 6: at this time, like it's a hockey line change or something,

636
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: and just watch that ball ripped through there as if

637
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 6: they're not there, you know. I think that part of

638
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 6: that is talent. I think we're long on rushers and

639
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 6: athletes and we're and we're light on roadblocks. We just

640
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 6: don't have the roadblocks and it's killing us, and we're

641
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 6: playing too many guys that can't play. I think we

642
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 6: have real It's not necessarily design flaws. It's lack of design,

643
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 6: creativity and versatility. We sit there in a blackboard front

644
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 6: until third down, first and second down, we're lined up

645
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 6: either and over. We're trying to play bear, but we're

646
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 6: playing it with lightweights the three and so teams know

647
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 6: where you're gonna be, and they, as Joe said, they

648
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 6: ran a lot of the misdirection, counter ots, powers, power kickouts,

649
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 6: and all of those plays are successful more successful against

650
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 6: vanilla defenses. If you're moving, if you're blitzing, if you're coming,

651
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 6: then all those pulls and all that, all those doubles

652
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 6: can be disrupted. But we did nothing to disrupt it.

653
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 6: We just stayed the state there and the misdirection froze

654
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 6: our linebackers, which can happen, and they just blocked the

655
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 6: heck underneath, and our linemen were impaled the most of

656
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 6: the game. And I think the last thing Joe hit

657
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 6: it you have to close the edges, and you close

658
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 6: them one of two ways. You either bring the linebackers

659
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 6: up and run on the outside pressure right now, which

660
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 6: I call the saw principal saw blitz that comes back

661
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 6: from the old Sam and Will principle of coming off

662
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: the edge. And there's times you have to play a

663
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: percentage of two where your corners are up and they

664
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: can play into those speeds from outside in play into

665
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 6: those screens from outside in. They just literally killed us

666
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 6: on the edge. So when you look at it, you know,

667
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 6: to me, it's a product of bad construction. I don't

668
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 6: think we're constructed well up front to stop the run,

669
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 6: particularly with Buckner out. I mean, I thought the best part,

670
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 6: the best thing we did is when we played the

671
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 6: two big guys together, Davis and Grover. The blackboard overs

672
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 6: killing us. Not closing the edge is killing us. And

673
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 6: then this isn't a run issue. But what's adding insult

674
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 6: to injury is on third down, we're playing scared, we're

675
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 6: playing soft the games on the line. In the fourth quarter,

676
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 6: we got a chance. It's a one possession game, and

677
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 6: you know it's third and six. You know, in our

678
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 6: right corner lines up fifty backs up to fifteen. You know,

679
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 6: I mean ny thow, I mean I could have thrown it.

680
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: It was a gift. So you know, all those things

681
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 6: right now are leading to the disaster that we're in

682
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 6: and we're going to have to fix it quick.

683
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: That's Rick Ventre Joe Wrights as along as well. You're

684
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: listening to Colts Round Table Live tonight here on ninety

685
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: three to five and one oh seven to five the Fan.

686
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm Matt Taylor, and we're talking about some of the

687
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: big issues that have led to the Colts starting the

688
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: season zero to two, and right now we're in a

689
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: segment called the Colts con Meter. Let's go to the

690
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: offensive struggles here. The Colts finished with three hundred and

691
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: thirty eight yards in green Bay. They had nineteen first downs,

692
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: but their lack of efficiency in the first half was glaring,

693
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: only eighty yards on fifteen plays. The Colts started the

694
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: game oh for seven on third down and fourth down

695
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: before they finally got one on a third down with

696
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: just over two minutes to go in the game. The

697
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: Colts scored ten points on a Green Bay team that

698
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: gave up thirty four the week prior to the Eagles,

699
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: and the Packers stopped most of the explosive plays that

700
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: were there for the Colts against the Texans the week

701
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: prior in game number one, and for a second straight week,

702
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: the time of possession incredibly lopsided. Having the football for

703
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: just twenty minutes in the opener to Houston, the Colts

704
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: had it for only nineteen minutes and forty nine seconds

705
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and breaking that down a little bit Further,

706
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: in two games, the Colts have allowed eleven possessions of

707
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: at least eight plays. They've also allowed six drives to

708
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: their opposition that have lasted longer than five minutes. And

709
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: then meanwhile, on the flip side of that, the Colts

710
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: offense has gone three and out five times. They've had

711
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: eight possessions where they've had the ball for less than

712
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: two minutes in the first two games of the season. So, Joe,

713
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: through two games, where are you with that? On the

714
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: colts con meter one to five?

715
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: How about I go def con or sorry, colts con too.

716
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: There you go.

717
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: I'll have to take it off the dial a little bit.

718
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: And again, all right, we have a young quarterback. He's evolving,

719
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: he's growing, he'll get better. But the three things for

720
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 3: me offensively are one, you know, better timing on our

721
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: routes and for Richardson, got to have a little bit

722
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: more touch on some of those passes. He's a fastball thrower,

723
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 3: fastballs like Chapman coming out of the bullpen, when you

724
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: can throw it one to oh two. But certain times

725
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: you got to take a little bit of that off

726
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 3: the ball, and it seems sometimes our timing's not quite right.

727
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: Where you know, receivers still might be getting out of

728
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: the break and the ball comes whizzing by him or

729
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 3: they're not quite ready for it, and then you know

730
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: our receivers wet. We got to catch the football and

731
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: I know, you know Pierce slipped on a play, but

732
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 3: you know, I go back to that last drive of

733
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 3: the first half. We had second and eight, Pittman drops one.

734
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: We had third and eight, Mitchell's wide open, he drops one.

735
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: I mentioned the series before. We had a first and

736
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 3: tent at the fifty, but we had a holding penalty

737
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: on fifty six. It got called back. So we don't

738
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 3: have the margin for air right now. Just again because

739
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: we have a young quarterback and because you know his

740
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: accuracy you know isn't what it will be someday in

741
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 3: this league, So we don't have that margin of air

742
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: to have drops in penalties. So that would be the

743
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: first one, you know, the second one again I mentioned

744
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor. We got to find ways to get him

745
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: the ball. He's our most reliable football player. Great things

746
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: happen when he has the ball. I did like our

747
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: running game. I thought it was more diverse than last week.

748
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: We were doing some different things where we were you know,

749
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: pull that backside garden tackle, and we were creating conflict

750
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 3: on the defense. Like we mentioned Green Bay, did you

751
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 3: know Dulin coming around for some of those ghost reverses

752
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: and holding those linebackers a little bit, so continuing to

753
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: find ways to get the ball to your most dynamic player,

754
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: which is number twenty eight. And then you know the

755
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: third one for me and you know for this Colts

756
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 3: offense is I like when we go no huddle. I

757
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: like when we go two minute. I understand, you go

758
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: two minute out of the gate and you go three

759
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: and out, you give the ball right back to the defense.

760
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: Well we're doing that anyway. Where is Anthony Richardson most comfortable.

761
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 3: It's when he's playing fast. It's when he's playing against

762
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 3: a defense with more simple concepts, just because again he's

763
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 3: a younger player in this league, where he has that

764
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: thread of his run in his arm. Where the defense

765
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: is getting tired and we're not on offense. In the

766
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, I know part of that has

767
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: been by necessity because we've been behind, and again, you

768
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 3: know Green Bay was playing softer coverage. They're just trying

769
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: to run out the clock at the end of the game.

770
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: I get that, but I really think Richardson's at his

771
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: best when we're in a no huddle, fast two minute

772
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: type offense. I wouldn't mind us trying that out in

773
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: the first half, just to see if we can switch

774
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: it up a little bit and get some more momentum

775
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: going on the offensive side of the football.

776
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: Well done, right there, that's Joe Wright's Rick vontery. Where

777
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: are you with the offensive inefficiencies through two games on

778
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: your Colts con meter there?

779
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna go con too here, all right, simply

780
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 6: because you know, I do think that there's enough talent

781
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 6: there to be much better than we are. I think

782
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 6: there's less issues in it from a talent standpoint. Now

783
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 6: on the offensive end of it, I thought, you know

784
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 6: that we we did some things that we talked about

785
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 6: last week and all week long. We did diversify the

786
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 6: running game for JT. And he did have a heck

787
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 6: of an average. You know, we did. We did. We

788
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 6: ran some power, some pulls, we ran in ot he

789
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 6: ran him on the toss and stretch, got him on

790
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 6: a flip and then actually screened to him to me,

791
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 6: which is like runs and so you know, at least

792
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 6: we had daylight, and we were productive in that end

793
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 6: of it. But we really have no identity right now

794
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 6: with Richardson. We're not necessarily an NCAA team. We're not

795
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 6: really running him on a ton of options. And yet

796
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 6: you know we're not you know, we're not not JT.

797
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 6: And they'll have to explain the fourth quarter to us.

798
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not sure what that was all about,

799
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 6: you know, when he isn't there. But the running game

800
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 6: was better, it certainly was better. It made some strives,

801
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 6: but the passing game is just totally inconsistent. You know,

802
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 6: we got the big plays in the first game, you know,

803
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 6: didn't get him in the second game. And you can't

804
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 6: count on that. I said that last week. It's great

805
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 6: when you get them, but you can't count on them.

806
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 6: You have to be able to sustain drives. And right

807
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 6: now he's scattershot throwing the ball. He's very, very inconsistent.

808
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 6: He doesn't he's not throwing with Sunday pinpoint accuracy. What

809
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 6: you have to have. The touch isn't always there, timing

810
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 6: isn't always there. He fired an option route and uh,

811
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 6: what's his name, didn't even didn't even number ten, didn't

812
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 6: even get out of the break. I mean, the ball

813
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 6: was thrown, Mitchell wasn't even there. And and then he

814
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 6: you know, he fires balls on the swing. Uh. And

815
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 6: then you know, the two turnovers were bad throws. You

816
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 6: go back to that, you lose a game. You know.

817
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 6: The turnover in the first half was just airmiled. I mean,

818
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 6: and he does that more than he should. He airmailed it.

819
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 6: There wasn't anything there, you know, instead of just dirting it. Uh,

820
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 6: you know, he airmails it right to McKinney. I mean,

821
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 6: he hits him right in the chest. It was nothing.

822
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 6: And then in the second half, you know, Wilson is

823
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 6: in the same He's got body position all the way

824
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 6: and he sticks it right in there to him. So

825
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 6: I mean, you're you're getting that part of it. Drops

826
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 6: were terrible. I mean, you got to you gotta make

827
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: your layups. You can't drop balls in this league. I

828
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 6: mean we got drop balls from receivers, drop balls from

829
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 6: running backs, and and a lot of them are good throws.

830
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: I mean, and even if they're a little bit off.

831
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 6: My god, No, you get paid to make some adjustments,

832
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 6: you know, And then you know we can't convert on

833
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 6: third down. I mean, we just our third down is

834
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 6: two out of nine, and you know that leads to

835
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: that that huge, that humongous differentiation in ball control. You

836
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 6: know you're not you're not stopping them on third down

837
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 6: and you're not converting on third down. So you know

838
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 6: it's you know, when you have when you have a

839
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 6: forty to twenty differential in time of possessions, that means

840
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 6: you're playing bad all over. It's really that simple, all right.

841

872
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: I'm Matt Taylor. Let's go to Joe first. This is

873
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 2: coming from Eric Joe. How concerned are you over all

874
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: the injuries? We're racking up on defense. We've got Brents Blackman,

875
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: and then on Sunday injuries to Leatsu Latsu and then

876
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: DeForest Buckner being the biggest one.

877
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is concerning, especially because our defense hasn't played

878
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: well through the first two games. But you know, Matt,

879
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 3: that's part of the NFL. It's one hundred percent injury sport,

880
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: and that's why your depth is so important. And so yeah,

881
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 3: I be watching Buckner. He's such a key part of

882
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 3: this defense. Looks like Law two, you know, hopefully is

883
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 3: going to be okay, but you know, defensively we're missing

884
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 3: some guys. You gotta have some guys step up. But offensively,

885
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 3: really hope Josh Downs can get back this week because

886
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: when you talk about explosiveness and players making plays, to me,

887
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 3: you know it's Taylor one, Downs two in terms of

888
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 3: our most explosive guys with the football in their hand.

889
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to the mail bag. Rick,

890
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: this is for you. Let's squeeze this in if we

891
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: can here before we have to hit another time out.

892
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: This is coming from Wexler. Can we do anything to

893
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: help the secondary by making a move for players on

894
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: the street or other teams practice squads. The injuries have

895
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: occurred to players in the secondary that are very predictable.

896
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 2: Brins and Blackmen are injured and they've combined to miss

897
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 2: thirty eight career games. Pretty good question there from Wexler.

898
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 6: It's a good question, and you know what, You're not

899
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 6: going to build your team in October. You're not going

900
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 6: to build it off the street. You know, we had more,

901
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 6: We had three months. We had February, March, April to

902
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 6: do this. We knew we were shaky at corner. Even

903
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 6: when we're healthy, Brent's and Blackmen, you know, just have

904
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 6: a difficult time being available, no question about it. We

905
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 6: cut Blackman, who was the best corner in the preseason.

906
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 6: I don't know what we were looking at. And so

907
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 6: we're sitting there now and we're really underwhelming, to say

908
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 6: the least. And then we're not doing anything schematically to

909
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 6: help them. There's no double corner, there's no single role

910
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 6: double roll, and so you know, if you add to

911
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 6: get the only thing that's saving the secondary, even though

912
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 6: they've given up seventy five percent completion and eighty five

913
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 6: percent completion in two weeks, is that we can't stop runs.

914
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 6: So they don't have to throw it, but no, you

915
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 6: you know, we made this bed and now we have

916
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 6: to live with it.

917
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 2: All right. This message is brought to you by Meyer,

938
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: time out for the closing arguments on the show tonight

939
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 2: again with Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights. Joe, we'll give

940
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: you the floor first on your closing arguments. The question

941
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: I have for you is, I mean, oh and two

942
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 2: is really disappointing. Colts have to live with that, But

943
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 2: now the key is to not let O and two

944
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 2: become oh and three and then oh and four. You've

945
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: been there before as a player with some ups and downs,

946
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: but you have to do it with the same intensity

947
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: every single day. How hard is that to do, Joe,

948
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: to be intense and still come to work at the

949
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: facility with that same fervor that you that you have

950
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 2: to have even if you were two and zero. Now

951
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: that the Colts are oh and two to start the season.

952
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, man. And we let oh and one

953
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 3: become oh and two. We just weren't emotionally, you know,

954
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 3: ready to play yesterday. But for me, this game ain't

955
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 3: about the Bears. This about the Indianapolis Colts. I mentioned earlier.

956
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 3: This is Michael Jackson. Man in the mirror, this is

957
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: everybody to a man has to really look deep inside

958
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: your soul and figure out what kind of metal do

959
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 3: I have and what do we want this season to

960
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: be about. So for me this I know, Coach, we'll

961
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 3: talk about the Bears, but this is about the Colts

962
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 3: in my opinion. But coach, with that, give us an

963
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 3: early skinny on Chicago and what we'll see coming in

964
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: here on Sunday afternoon.

965
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 6: Well, Chicago's a tale of two cities. You know, They've

966
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 6: got the rookie quarterback. He's really structuring, he's really struggling

967
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 6: in structure. He's very dangerous on the playground. He can

968
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 6: make great plays on the playground, but he is struggling immensely.

969
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 6: They're number thirty one on total offense. So you know,

970
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 6: if you can't stop these guys, you know, then you

971
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 6: know it's not man in the mirror. It's time for panic.

972
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 6: But on the other hand, this is a very very

973
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 6: good defense. This is a very good Bear defense, number

974
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,240
Speaker 6: sixth in points giving up in number nine totals. So again,

975
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 6: a very very good defense, I mean, very legit defense.

976
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 6: They did a good job on the Texans last night,

977
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 6: but they're really struggling to move to football, so this

978
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 6: is one you you must, you must get well on.

979
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: All right, we'll see if the Colts can get it done.

980
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: But that's all the time we've got tonight, Rick Venturi

981
