1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: The NFL never sleeps every play.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Then the opportunity to be great.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,560

00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: No, No, the roster is ever evolving. Find it, get

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: in there.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 3: He's in there.

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Whoa let go, and it's all about finding the edge.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 3: Check one angling left forty, he's at the thirty.

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Tell it here Sunlight twenty fifty ten.

11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: Five touchdown, Kenny Moore racing pu the intone, ten five touchdown.

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: Ind Why Richardson's gonna take off on a quarterback drawl?

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: He's ad at ten.

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: He's at the five, untouched into the intone.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,440

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what busy week here in Indianapolis for

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 5: the Colts.

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. You had the schedule come out

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, so we're still reacting to that. But yeah,

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: the month of May man here in Indianapolis. He got

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: the fever with Caitlin Clark. Obviously, cars on the track

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: fast Friday Pacers game six a night, and then we're

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: talking football in the background with the Colts. It's a

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: good time to be an Indianapolis sports fans.

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: Hey, for next week, we're gonna get you ready for

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 5: OTA's We're gonna discuss the what's the Colts are doing

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: on the grass. That's when the veterans mesh. That's when

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 5: they can go seven on seven a little bit. I

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 5: don't think they can do eleven on eleven, but they

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 5: can next week. That's when the starter is Matt. We're

38
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: gonna see what this football team looks like next week.

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 5: Granted they'll be in some helmets and shorts.

40
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. It's the closest thing to real

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: football this time of year here in the month of May,

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: and we're gonna talk about it. I'm just incredibly excited

43
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: to see where this offense is, most notably where Anthony

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: Richardson is, how he teams up with some of the

45
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: explosive pieces on offense and can that defense take the

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 3: next step starting this spring in year number three under

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 3: Gus Bradley. So it's going to be really exciting to

48
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: see where all those pieces are starting next week at

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: the beginning of OTAs.

50
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: And we're going to keep our eyes on the rookies.

51
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 5: One of them in particular, he's coming up on the show,

52
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: Matt Gunsalvez. You're gonna love this young man, the big

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 5: fella out of Pittsburgh who studies at Colts offensive line

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 5: with more depth. Everybody listening downtown have fun tonight. We

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: got victory Friday. I'm already calling it right now, but

56
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 5: maytay that Colts schedule. I just need it right off

57
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: the gate. What's the biggest takeaway.

58
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Well, the biggest takeaway is that you know you're opening

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: with the Houston Texans right out of the gate. Right

60
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: here we go. It's that barometer game, it's the measuring

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: stick game, whatever you want to call it. We all

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: remember what happened last year Week eighteen, for all the

63
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: marbles winning, you're in getting the playoffs, and the Colts

64
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: came up short. Anthony Richardson's coming back. C J Stroud

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: returns after Rookie of the Year and the great offseason

66
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: that the Texans have had, and they might be the

67
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: front runners to win the AFC South. So to get

68
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: them at home right away, that's a marquee game. But

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: the first quarter of the season stands out to me

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: first and foremost, Jeffrey, Three of your first four games

71
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 3: at home. Three of those four games are against playoff

72
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: teams from last year. You got the Texans, Packers, Steelers,

73
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: and then the Bears. They're gonna be much improved, obviously

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: with sure Caleb Williams at quarterback. Five of your first

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: eight games are against playoff teams from last year, So

76
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 3: gonna be imperative to get off to a good start.

77
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: But the Colts, I think can with three of your

78
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: first four games at home. First time that's happened since

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight for the Colts.

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: Hey death taxes and the Colts not hosting a primetime

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: NFL game, those things are every year year and freaking

82
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 5: year out. We're not getting a home game here, but

83
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: we do have one primetime game taking on Aaron Rodgers

84
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: in New York May tape.

85
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know it is what it is.

86
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you still have kind of the unknown team

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: or the unknown aspect surrounding this team. Say, the Colts

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: have missed the playoffs two years in a row, and

89
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: again the big question is where's Anthony Richardson. How is

90
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: he gonna look next season? You know, he's kind of

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: an unknown after missing so much time last year. So

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: you're right. The Colts get shut out on Thursday night

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: for the second straight year, they're shut out on Monday night,

94
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: and really no surprise that their one primetime game is

95
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 3: on the road. If you go back the last eight years,

96
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: including this year, the Colts have played twenty two primetime

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: games Jeffrey. Sixteen of those have been road games, obviously

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: six at home. So you got to earn them, right,

99
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 3: You got to earn those primetime appearances. And the Cult

100
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: are trying to prove that they're more of a national drawl.

101
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: They're trying to fight their way back to kind of

102
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: fitting that criteria.

103
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what mat Te talk about tough stretches.

104
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: The whole freaking seventeen weeks of this season is a

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: tough stretch. But there's one in particular. You brought it

106
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: up as soon as you saw it last Wednesday, that

107
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: stretch of five games starting with well, heck, where do

108
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 5: you want to start. You're hosting Pittsburgh, but boil boy

109
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: after that, pack a bag because this coach team is

110
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 5: going on the road for I think over a month.

111
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: It looks like, yeah, I think you're alluding to that

112
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: second quarter of the season. You go, sure, October six,

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: that's Week five, Jacksonville to Jacksonville. On October twenty seventh,

114
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: you got at Jacksonville at Tennessee, Miami at home at Houston.

115
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: All of those games are AFC games, so that's huge

116
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: in terms of the tie breakers. But three of those

117
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: four are AFC South road games. And then you got

118
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: another playoff team and a marquee matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: So all of those teams are going to be in

120
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: the mix to make the playoffs this year. And then

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: if you want to expand it out one more week,

122
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: as you said, go to November three. Then you're talking

123
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: about five games with four on the road and two

124
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: back to back road game stretches. That's going to be

125
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: a lot of travel, a lot of logistics, and no

126
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: time off, and you're playing some really really important games.

127
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: As I said, I don't know if that's a make

128
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: or break part of the schedule. But I do know

129
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: it's really important. It's going to set up the Colts

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: in terms of how big their margin of area is

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: towards the back half of the season.

132
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: Biggest takeaway what you just said Colts fans, Matt Taylor,

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Gorman, you're on the last word is at Jacksonville

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 5: at Tennessee, hosting Miami at Houston. Three of four games

135
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: are on the road and division games may te That's

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: a kick in the shorts. But we're gonna find out

137
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 5: what kind of team we are. I mean, come on now, Yeah, that.

138
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: Part is tough. I also, I don't know how you

139
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: feel about it. But the late bye, the week what

140
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: is it, week fourteen by December eighth, that is the

141
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: latest buy the NFL offers, and in fact, the Colts

142
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: have experienced the latest buy in the NFL three out

143
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: of the last four seasons. That's a tough stretch. That's

144
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: a tall order and a tough ass to have guys

145
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: go from the end of July until mid December early

146
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: December without really a true extensive period of time off.

147
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: That's going to be grueling. And Shane steike And and Chris

148
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: Ballard have to do a good job of managing that

149
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: how intense practice is and making sure they do their

150
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: best to keep guys available throughout the first fourteen games

151
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: of the season.

152
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: Okay, let's go to what's currently happened right now. We

153
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: got everybody in the building. The OTAs are set to

154
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: start next week. Okay, that means a total of ten

155
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: days of organized practices. No live contact is permitted, but

156
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 5: seven on seven, nine on seven, and eleven on eleven

157
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: drills are allowed. Mayte give me the storyline. What are

158
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: you most looking out for when the Colts goal eleven

159
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: on eleven next week?

160
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we said, it's got to be Anthony Richardson.

161
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: That's got to be the biggest OTA storyline for me

162
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: because he's been working his tail off to rehab and

163
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: to get healthy, but he's also physically and mentally sharpening

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: his skills. He's got an entire season of the playbuck

165
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: under his belt with Shane Steichen and Jim Bob Cooter

166
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: and Cam Turner the quarterbacks coach. This is the first

167
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: time or the first chance he's going to get to

168
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: put all of that growth to work, and we'll see

169
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: his command, his accuracy, his control at the line of scrimmage,

170
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: and also just kind of Jeffrey two, how he's changed

171
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: that mindset? Does he and the Colts do they start

172
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: to incorporate those getting down moments and play to the

173
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: next play, you know, that type of mindset starting this

174
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: spring after he missed a lot of time last year

175
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: with all those injuries.

176
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: Hey, healthy Anthony Richardson, Like we said, fingers across there, Taylor, Pittman,

177
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: downs A, d Mitchell may Te, Shane Steichen and a

178
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: lot of people around this program have talked about explosive plays.

179
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: What are we getting this year with the new faces.

180
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's gonna be exciting this spring to see

181
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: all those puzzle pieces on the field for the first time.

182
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: Like you said, Richardson and Taylor, they were on the

183
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: field for just two snaps last year. And also too,

184
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: if you look at it, you know, away from the

185
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: game field, excluding walkthroughs, I think that there were just

186
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: two full practices that Taylor and Richardson practiced together all

187
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: of last season. So that's really exciting what that can

188
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: do to lighten the box. And then you've got guys

189
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: that can win more on the outside with Pittman and

190
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: Mitchell and Alec Pierce. The Colts, Jeffrey, they were a

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: really explosive team in the first part of last year

192
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: with Richardson. That should carry over now that the Colts

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: have invested in that part of the offense here in

194
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: the offseason. So I just think that's the part of

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: the game that you got to have on offense to win.

196
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at it, nine nine of

197
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: the league's ten most explosive passing offenses last year made

198
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs. So how the Colts look in that part

199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: of the offense here in the spring, that's going to

200
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: be a big time focus.

201
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 5: Hey, the script is set offensively and what this Colts

202
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 5: team can do go on the other side of the

203
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: ball really quick. The number one draft choice Leatu Latu Mayde,

204
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 5: he's knocking down coaches during drills. Now I'm seeing on

205
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 5: Colts dot Com, I mean no pads or on no,

206
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: I mean nothing like this, and he's I mean he's

207
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: destroying the assistant offensive line coach.

208
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we saw it in rookie mini camp. We

209
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: were out there both days, Jeffery. He looked like a

210
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: man among boys at times. Sure during the rookie mini camp.

211
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: All do respect everybody else, but he looks the part,

212
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: and he looks like you know, he is the first

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: defensive player off the board, So that's good news. Now,

214
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, you're looking forward to seeing what he looks

215
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: like going up against a season vet in Bernard Ryman

216
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: going into your number three, and what he looks like

217
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: going up against some of these other tackles the Colts

218
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: have available here in the spring. Now, remember, the Colts

219
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: are asking a lot of them, right, They're asking a

220
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: lot of him, you know, to be impactful early on

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: in his rookie season, be dominant in their pass rush.

222
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to that. And then as far

223
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: as the rest of the defense is concerned, Jeffrey, we

224
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: know it's time. You've got a lot too. Now you've

225
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: got all eleven starters coming back. We've said it all

226
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: off season. There's just too much individual talent on this

227
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: defense to be finishing twenty eighth in points allowed in

228
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 3: the last two seasons. So this spring is about where

229
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: is lat too, and where is this defense? Can they

230
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: put it together? Can they build synergy so that in

231
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: training camp you hit the ground run in the summer

232
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: and You're on your way towards being a top ten

233
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: defense because they've got all the parts necessary to spot on.

234
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: Once again, May Tay and Gus we trust with this

235
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: Colts defense. Hey, don't go anywhere when we come back.

236
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 5: You're not gonna want to miss this young man. I'm

237
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: talking about Matt Gunsalvas, the third round pick out of Pittsburgh.

238
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 5: The big man is a swing option for this Colts

239
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 5: offensive line. Can play some guard, can play some tackle,

240
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 5: but he is an ornery, nasty guy on the field.

241
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: You're gonna love it coming up. This is the Last

265
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: Mayte and I went on the grass and we caught

266
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 5: up with rookie offensive tackle out of Pittsburgh, the third

267

Speaker 5: He is Matt Gunsalves. In the recent NFL draft, the

271
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: Matt Gunnsalves, offensive lineman. Glad you're here, first couple of

272

Speaker 5: days under your belt, a rookie minicamp.

Speaker 2: How you feeling.

274
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 6: I'm feeling great. You know, it's been good to get

275
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 6: out of here and you know, getting Indianapolis finally and

276
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 6: you know, get rolling. You know, it's been a while

277
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 6: since I've been rolling. But you know, I feel really good,

278
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 6: you know, start to understand the playbook and you know,

279
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 6: just going against the defense and stuff like that and

280
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 6: having a great time.

281
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: From the coaching staff and from the scouting staff.

282
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: Some of the words they use to describe He's an

283
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: ornery guy, a guy who loves football.

284
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: You're a leader.

285
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: You come from Pittsburgh as a captain. Now you're a

286
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 5: rookie out here and veterans are going to be coming

287
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: in soon. How about that little you know, that sort

288
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 5: of makeup of I'm coming off being one of the

289
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: leaders of Pittsburgh's program and you're coming in here being

290
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: one of the new guys.

291
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's something you definitely got to be

292
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 6: conscious of, you know, coming out as a captain and

293
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 6: then coming in as a rookie. As you said, you know,

294
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 6: it's gonna be, you know, something that you know, I'm

295
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 6: gonna have to get used to you here. But you know,

296
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 6: like I did in Pittsburgh, you know, I had to

297
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 6: start over and be a rookie there, so you know,

298
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 6: just calimb my way up the ranks, are in everybody's respect,

299
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 6: and just grind every day so you know, hopefully make

300
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 6: it to the top or I will make it to

301
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 6: this up.

302
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: Man.

303
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: I like asking guys in your shoes, you know your

304
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: your first taste of the NFL. Has it hit you yet?

305
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: Has it hit you yet that you're an Indianapolis cult

306
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: and you're a professional football player?

307
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 6: You know, honestly, I really don't think it has yet.

308
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: But you know, putting on this helmet every day, I

309
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 6: think it's becoming more and more of a realization to me.

310
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

311
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 6: And you know, the more I go through these practice,

312
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 6: the more I understand the technique and the playbook, and

313
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 6: you know, walking into this building every day is starting

314
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 6: to become more real to me. Sure, it's been a

315
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 6: blessing and a dream come true. I wouldn't want to

316
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 6: play for any other team.

317
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: What are your first impressions of the lifestyle, if you will,

318
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: of the NFL and just how how demanding it is,

319
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 3: even more so than major power five conference football, which

320
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: you're used to.

321
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely demanding. You know. I'm definitely coming in

322
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 6: and you know, watching different techniques just from your footwork

323
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 6: and not everything just goes into how you know, a

324
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 6: play goes. It's a positive or negative. It's about your

325
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: your technique and you know, things like that, but also

326
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 6: taking care of your body, eating right, sleeping right. You know,

327
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 6: it's definitely gonna be a big transition for me. But

328
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 6: you know, this is a dream job, you know. You know,

329
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: you come in and you know you work every day

330
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 6: and it's something you want to do.

331
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: So what do you make of the playbook and the terminology?

332
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: How how different is that from what you're used to?

333
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 6: Actually it's been you know, uh, it's been somewhat more

334
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 6: similar than I thought. You know, with the calls on

335
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 6: the line and stuff like that. You know, the terminology

336
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 6: is a little different. But you know, just having the

337
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 6: chance to study it and then you know, doing walk

338
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 6: throughs and repeating stuff like that, you know, it gets

339
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 6: easier and easier every day.

340
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: Matt gunsalves colch Rookie. It talks about the talent that

341
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 5: you had. You played three game games last year, went

342
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: out with the injury. NFL scouts, including the Colts here,

343
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: didn't care. Chris Ballard said, this is the guy we

344
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: need to get. How hard was that for you last

345
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: year to sit and watch football?

346
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 6: It was. It was terrible. You know, football's are on blood.

347
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 6: I needed to function, I needed to process and you know,

348
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 6: not being able to play last year it kind of

349
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: shut me down. And you know, just being able to

350
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: get back out of here it's the most amazing feeling

351
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 6: in the world. You have no idea. Just to be

352
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 6: able to you know, block people and you know, go

353
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 6: as hard as I can. It's tiring, but you know,

354
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 6: I love it, and you know, I'm happy to contribute

355
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 6: any way I can.

356
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: Now you're looking forward to the relationship with the likes

358
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600

Speaker 3: At Pittsburgh. You played on the left side, you played

387
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: on the right side. What is it about you that

388
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: allows you to be so versatile that you can handle

389
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: anything that the cults are asking to do in terms

390
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: of position flexibility?

391
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 6: Yeah? In college, I mean, you know, growing up, you know,

392
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 6: playing the left side, left guard, right guard. You know,

393
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 6: my offensive line coach for me and wherever, and you

394
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 6: know he put me in at center at some point,

395
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: so you know, just having the ability to understand, you know,

396
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 6: the muscle memory of the right side and the left side.

397
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: It's benefited me. It takes a little bit to get

398
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 6: used to, but something I've.

399
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,800

402
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: every day. You know, whether that's footwork or you know,

403
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 6: mindset or mentality or tech. You know, I guess technique

404
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 6: of the plays and stuff like that. It's it's been

405
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: great and he's a great guy, and you know, I'm

406
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 6: really happy I'm gonna be able to be coached by him.

407
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,520

408
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520

00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: What did that scout mean when he was talking about

412
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 5: Mac Gonsalves a football player.

413
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 6: I care about how I play. You know, I take

414
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 6: this serious. You know I have nerves coming in and

415
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 6: the only reason I have nerves because I care, and

416
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 6: I really care about this game. And you know I

417
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,800

Speaker 6: don't do it for you know, checks and chains and

419
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 6: all that. I do it because I want to play

420
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,159

00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: they love his fire, and that's why they were so

456
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: invicted Jeffrey to trade up and grab him in the

457
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,520

Speaker 3: He can play right side, he can play left side,

460

Speaker 3: and obviously too. There's a lot of belief there and

461
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: that he's gonna translate and be fine to make that

462
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: transition into the NFL. Considering he only played in three

463
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: games last year. So he just physically hasn't played a

464
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: lot of football since what late September of last year.

465
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: That smile of his during the interview when he talked

466
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 3: about that, just to be back in that safe place,

515
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,159

Speaker 3: It has not been confirmed nor denied how many squirrels

518
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,160

519
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: know if there's a family or a gaggle of squirrels

520
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: up there, but a gaggle of we know one caused

521
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: just reaked havoc. I mean it was like, I mean,

522
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: it was like the Colts pass rush with leatsu latsu,

523
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: just wreaking havoc up there, ripping off insulation.

524

581
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: have a chip on his shoulder. He has a cinder

582
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 5: block on his shoulder, and he is ready to rock

583
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,439

Speaker 2: In his time now possibly for the last time.

00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 5: And by the way, he was supposed to be out

591
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 5: of here in this segment last week, but Ursay was

592
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,280

00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty nine.

627
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: Okay, that is a good knowledge.

628
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 7: So outside of the Browns, the longest droughts have been

629
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 7: the Jets and the Raiders, who have not won a

630
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: division title since two thousand and two. The Browns have

631
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 7: to go all the way back to nineteen eighty nine. Now,

632
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 7: I know they had that three year stit where they

633
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 7: didn't play, but still it seems like so long ago.

634
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 7: The Browns definitely a team that made the playoffs last year,

635
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 7: have a chance in the AFC North, but it's Baltimore's division,

636
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: and probably with Joe Burrow back in in the fold,

637
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 7: Cincinnati's probably ahead of him. So it looks like the

638
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 7: Browns are probably gonna have to wait another year.

639
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: May Tay, that's pretty good knowledge right there, that the

640
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: kid dug up. He felt that heat. All right, I

641
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: stepped up to the plate and I hit it.

642
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go.

643
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: You're not necessarily around next week. I'm just telling it

644
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:47,840

Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'll see what her say. Thanks about guess

Speaker 3: so right. When the schedule comes out, this is where

650
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: our train of thought goes. But how about this one.

651
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 3: At least two teams have won their divisions the season

652
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 3: after missing the playoffs in twenty of the last twenty

653
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,159
