Speaker 2: question Send those in as always using hashtag Colts Roundtable

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: on X. It was an excruciating loss for the Colts

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: on Sunday, falling to the Browns thirty nine to thirty eight.

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: The Colts did so many things well, but it wasn't enough,

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: as the brown scored the go ahead touchdown with fifteen

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: seconds to play. Cleveland's defense came into the game giving

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 2: up just two hundred yards of offense to their first

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: five opponents, but the Colts cashed them four hundred and

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: fifty six yards and thirty eight points, But four turnovers

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: and eight penalties ended up dooming the Colts in the end.

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: It was an.

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: Incredible game if you're just a football fan, the game

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: had everything. You had nine league changes, two ties, seventy

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: seven combined points, big plays on both sides, turnovers, reviews,

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: questionable calls from the officiating crew, and nearly a four

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: hour game. The game got off to the fast start

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: for the Browns. Cleveland running back Jerome Ford ripped off

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: his sixxty nine yard touchdown run on the first possession,

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: but the Colts came storming back.

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: On their first drive.

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: They had a big player of their own, a fifty

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: nine yard touchdown pass to Josh Downs, who streaked down

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: the near sideline after the Browns were off sides on

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: the play. Colts would get another huge play later in

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: the game from Michael Pittman Junior.

50
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: Later in the fourth quarter.

51
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: He took a crossing pattern over the middle seventy five

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: yards to the house to give the Colts a late

53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: lead thirty eight to thirty three at the time. But

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: for the second straight week, turnovers killed the Colts. Gardner

55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Minshew lost three fumbles and through an interception while Matt

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Gay's sixty yard field goal attempt was blocked. One of

57
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: those fumbles was recovered in the end zone for a

58
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: touchdown for Cleveland, and all told, the Browns turned those

59
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: plays into twenty points. Cleveland had five scoring drives of

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: less than forty yards in the game. They had three

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: scoring drives of less than twenty and one of zero.

62
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Brown's defensive end Miles Garrett was the biggest difference maker

63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: in the game. He had maybe the best game of

64
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: his career two strip sacks that were both recovered by

65
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: the Browns tackle for loss in that block field goal

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: that set up a Browns field goal of the room.

67
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: Despite all of Garrett's havoc, the Colts still led by five.

68
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: With two minutes and thirty five seconds left, The Browns

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: had one time out and they drove the field thanks.

70
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: To big plays.

71
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: They had plays of thirty, thirteen and seventeen yards on

72
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: that final drive, but the possession was defined by back

73
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: to back penalties on cornerback Darryl Baker Junior. First, the

74
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: illegal contact flag wiped out an EJ Speed strip sack

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: that would have clinched a win for the Colts. The second,

76
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: a pass interference flag in the end zone gave Cleveland

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: first and goal on the one yard line with thirty

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: three seconds left, and then four plays later, the Browns

79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: found the end zone with Tarim Hunt for the game

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: winning score on fourth and goal from the one yard line.

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: The Colts are now three and four on the season,

82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: and the loss continues these struggles for the Colts at

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: home since the start of last season. Since the beginning

84
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty two campaign, the Colts have lost

85
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: four games at home by one point. The Colts now

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: close out the month of October with a home date

87
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: against the three and four New Orleans Saints in week eight.

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: All right, coming up on segment two tonight, As we said,

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: we'll be joined by Colts analysts Rick Vanturi and Joe Wrights.

90
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Now time though, to lead off the show with our

91
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: weekly chat with head coach Shane Steichen. It's presented by

92
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Citizens Energy Group.

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: Coach.

94
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: First off, really appreciate the time on a Monday night.

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: I know it's a very difficult Monday day after that

96
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: game on Sunday and a really difficult game to deal

97
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: with it mentally in the aftermath. Coach, what was the

98
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: mood of the team last night and a day later

99
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: here knowing you had the Browns on the ropes there

100
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: in the fourth court.

101
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it was a tough, tough, tough loss. You know,

102
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: that one stung pretty hard for everybody, you know, when

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: you lose games like that, especially when you thought you

104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 4: had them one. So you know, just going back and

105
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: getting in the lab and working and grinding and just knowing,

106
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 4: shoot that we're doing a lot of really good things

107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: right now on both sides of the football and you know,

108
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: our record might not show it right now, but we

109
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: keep fighting and scratching and those things will turn into

110
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 4: wins here.

111
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you score it.

112
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of good things on one side of the ball, offensively,

113
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: you score thirty eight points against a team that was

114
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: giving up only fifteen a game. You put up four

115
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six yards of offense on a team

116
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: that's giving up only two hundred yards per game. You

117
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: had those averages beat by halftime. What were some of

118
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: the things that led to that good offensive success yesterday?

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: Well, I think we ran the ball really efficiently. You know,

120
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: we were good on third downs, and then we were

121
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: able to create some chunk plays you know in the

122
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: past game. So I think overall everyone did a really

123
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: nice job.

124
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 5: You know.

125
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: Obviously we got to do a good job of taking

126
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: care of the football. I think when you look at

127
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: that game, it really came down to winning the turnover battle,

128
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: you know. But a lot of good things, but if

129
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: you know, we don't win the turnover battle, it's going

130
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: to be hard to win.

131
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

132
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: You had eight plays on Sunday over twenty yards, including

133
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: two from at least fifty nine both touchdowns. Big plays

134
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: have really been part of this offense the last three weeks.

135
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: How pleased have you been with the explosivity of your

136
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: offense and how important is that in the NFL?

137
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's huge, you know, winning the turnover battle,

138
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: you know, and winning the big play battle and creating

139
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 4: those explosives. You know, when you create the explosives, your

140
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: percentage of scoring, you know, go way up, way up.

141
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: You know. But it's a credit to the players going

142
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: out there and executing, you know on Sundays, because they

143
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: put so much work into this thing, you know, Monday

144
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: through Saturday to get ready to go do that. So

145
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: you know, credit to those guys.

146
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talked about those turnovers. They've certainly been a

147
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: big factor in these last two games. I know Gardner's

148
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: disappointed with the fumbles and the interceptions. What what was

149
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: his moon in the locker room after the game, knowing

150
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: he's he's played some really good football outside of just

151
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: those those handful of negative plays.

152
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, I think those things we just got

153
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: to clean them up and we got to work on

154
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: them in practice, you know, you know, working in the

155
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 4: pocket because you know there's gonna be defenders. As playing quarterback,

156
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, that position, you know there's gonna be defenders

157
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: around you and you're gonna go throw and sometimes there

158
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: are gonna be some strip sacks. But when you know

159
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: an offenders are around you, you know he's keeping two

160
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: hands on the ball, you know, and will get it

161
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: cleaned up. You know, I got a ton of confidence

162
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: in him, and you know he's playing good football and

163
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: you know he let us. You know, he's on some

164
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: really good scoring drives, you know, yesterday and looking forward

165
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: to this week against the Saints.

166
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: You know, Coach, among some of the other things that

167
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: you know we appreciate about you, is just your your

168
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: confidence level, your optimism level. What is it about this team.

169
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of self infliction lately. You got

170
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: to clean that up, there's no doubt about it. But

171
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: outside of that, like you said off the air, this

172
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: is a really good football team you've got right here.

173
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

174
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: No, you know, guys are believing, they're fighting, they're playing together,

175
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: and you know these things will turn into wins. You know,

176
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: we keep staying the course. You know you're getting in

177
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: November and December. Yeah, you know, the teams are either

178
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: going to go one way or the other, and we

179
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: got to make sure We're just on that up climb,

180
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: you know, going forward to get those wins.

181
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: But I like where we're at.

182
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: You know, our record doesn't show it, but we're fighting

183
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: and we're heading in the right direction.

184
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: And Shane stykeing with us tonight on Colts Round Table Live.

185
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I know you just talked to the media, but any

186
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: for this audience, any updates on the injuries Juju Brins,

187
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Eric Johnson.

188
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't you know?

189
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: Eric's out ankle and Juju's got the quad and I'll

190
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: have more, you know, later in the week.

191
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, So let's go to the mail bag. A

192
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: handful of questions for head coach Shane Styking coming from

193
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 2: the Colts fan base. Here use hashtag Colts Around Table

194
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: on X to interact with us. Here, let's go to Mitch.

195
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: He's up for she said the Brown score ten points

196
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: there under the two minute warning at the end of

197
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: the first half. How big of a sequence was that

198
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: and why were we so aggressive in that situation?

199
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, right there in that situation, I got aggressive there,

200
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: backed up, you know, try to call a double move

201
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: right there on the left corner and shouldn't have called

202
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: that obviously, you know, got to be smarter there, get

203
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: the baughder hands, run it there, backed up, and then

204
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: you know we got the one the field goal blocks.

205
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 4: Tried a long field goal there and it got blocked

206
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: and Miles Garrett jumped over the top. But just got

207
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: to be better in those situations moving forward.

208
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this goes right into Jeff's question there, Miles Garrett

209
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: all game long.

210
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: Was a force.

211
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: What what did we do that did not work on

212
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: trying to contain him?

213
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: Well, shoot, he's a heck of a football player. We

214
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: knew he was gonna make place. We had to contain

215
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: him as much as we could. You know, when he

216
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: when he was in the game, call certain plays, you

217
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 4: know when he was out of the game, call certain plays.

218
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: And then you know he did a good job sometimes

219
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: of lining up right and left, whether it was first, second,

220
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 4: dow and third down. I've kind of known where he's at,

221
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: trying to know where he's out on every play and

222
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: go from there.

223
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: Okay, Nathan is asking, coach, will you continue to roll

224
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: with Zach Moss and Jonathan Taylor splitting up the carries

225
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: until somebody gets hot during the game, or do you

226
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: think Taylor is acclimated enough to be the top back

227
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: in the running game.

228
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor's rolling pretty good, you know, but Zach's still

229
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: running it really good too. So we feel really confident

230
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: with both those guys. Who's ever in there, you know

231
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: on Sundays having a ton of confidence in those guys.

232
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: All right, Gary is up? Is Josh downs turning into

233
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: one of our better weapons in the passing game? And

234
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: where is he ahead of schedule as a rookie?

235
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, he's doing a heck of a job. You know,

236
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 4: he finds ways to get open, is creating explosive plays

237
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: in the past game, and you know he uses his

238
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, fast twitch, you know rally ability, you know,

239
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 4: to come in and out of breaks. But he's done

240
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: a really good job for a rookie. He just keeps

241
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: improving every week, and it's because of his work ethic.

242
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to a couple more Gino, Where

243
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: did you feel the loss of Grover Stewart on Sunday?

244
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Do you think he would have been able to plug

245
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: up that fourth and goal run by Kareem Hunt.

246
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think anytime you lose a you know, legit

247
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: player like Grover, it's going to hurt your football team.

248
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: But you know, we have a ton of comments in

249
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: David and Eric Johnson. They stepped up and did a

250
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: really good job. But you know, a couple more weeks

251
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: we'll get Grove back and he'll be ready to roll.

252
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 2: All right, don't shoot the messenger on this one. I

253
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: know you talked about it earlier today with the media too.

254
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Dennis is asking, after watching the film again today, what

255
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: did you make of those defensive penalties on the last

256
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: drive of the game.

257
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean those are always tough, and you know,

258
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into the official stuff, but

259
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: you know, those guys got to make decisions sometimes, and

260
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: you know that's just part of the game. And you know,

261
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: we got to do a good job, you know, on

262
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: offense and defense, you know, not putting ourselves in those

263
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: positions at the end of the games.

264
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: All right, last one from Andy. Did Shaq Lenard look

265
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: the best he has all year? To you on Sunday?

266
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: He looked a step faster and more impactful.

267
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked good.

268
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: It looks like he's starting to come into his own

269
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 4: and he's playing good. He's flying around and made it,

270
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: you know, some good plays the other day, and he

271
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: just keeps improving every week.

272
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.

273
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: All right.

274
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: You close out the month of October with all these

275
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: home games, another one coming up against the Saints. They're

276
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: three and four, coming off their mini by if you will,

277
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: they played on Thursday Night Football last week, coming up

278
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: short against the Jaguars. What does the early film studies

279
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: say about the Saints going into this game?

280
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: You know they've got a really good defense, you know,

281
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 4: impressed obviously, Dennis Allen does a heck of a job

282
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 4: with those guys, been doing it at a high level

283
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: for a while, you know, really just starting to dive

284
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: into him a little bit. But we know it will

285
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: be a heck of a challenge. All these games in

286
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: the NFL are tough, and we got to be ready

287
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: to go and make sure the preparation's on point.

288
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,319

338
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 5: Man?

339
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: How are you after that gut punching loss for the Colts.

340
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: How did you take in the game on Sunday.

341
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. I'm normally the first to talk

342
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 6: about the twenty four hour rule. I'm having a really

343
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 6: hard time with this one. And I know as a

344
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 6: player it's different because you're watching the film. But you know,

345
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 6: we really snatched a feet from the jaws of victory

346
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: to outgain him like we did, and I just felt

347
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 6: like watching the game, so, you know, I brought the family,

348
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 6: so my older kids came with me. At no point

349
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 6: during that game did I ever feel like we were

350
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: gonna lose, you know what I'm saying. I mean, I

351
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 6: felt like we were in complete control the whole game,

352
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 6: and we were right up into the very end. So

353
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 6: it was a tough one. The kids were sad. They've

354
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 6: now been to that game, and they went to the

355
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 6: Eagles game last year, so they think that every time

356
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 6: they go to the Colts game, we lose by one point.

357
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 6: But I told them, hey, you got to be louder.

358
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 6: It's right, you got to be a little bit louder.

359
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 6: Get that twelfth twelfth man advantage. But really disappointing because

360
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 6: I felt like we played so well in some certain areas,

361
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 6: but just had some huge gas and then obviously, you know,

362
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 6: the elephant in the room is just how the game ended,

363
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 6: in the back to back calls that were very tough

364
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 6: calls to end on. That's just really really hard to

365
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 6: stomach as a fan, as a player when you feel

366
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 6: like the refs have an involvement in how the game ends.

367
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: Rick, how you doing? You hanging in there?

368
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: I know you needed a trash cand almost vomiting like

369
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: the rest of us after that game yesterday?

370
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 5: Oh my god, did you just define that exactly? Well?

371
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: I mean I was sick all the way home, and

372
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: you know, I'm pretty much like Joe. I mean, the

373
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: twenty four hour rule ended just a few minutes ago

374
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: before six, but honestly, it's taken the full twenty four

375
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: and I'm not sure I'm over it. It's it's it

376
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: is one of the worst gut punches, and I'm kind

377
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: of with Joe. I mean, it had no time and

378
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 5: it gained it. I think we were gonna lose it,

379
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 5: and you know, but you know, we'll get into the specifics,

380
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: but it's just the NFL is a long and winding

381
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: road over that sixty minute.

382
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, almost a four hour game yesterday a long sixty minutes. Indeed,

383
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: so Rick and Joe have both watched the game film

384
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: from yesterday and the loss to the Browns. It's time

385
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: down to lead off with the tail of the tape.

386
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Well, baby, raising hell today.

387
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: Okay, you to go fallace, bang bang, playing bang bang,

388
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: keep the hammer down, all right, keep.

389
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Talking to one another man to clean it up, that's all.

390
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Get ready, get rady?

391
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Joe, let's start with you the Colts.

392
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: They had four turnovers. They outgained the Browns by one

393
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: hundred and forty yards and still lost. They exploded on

394
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: offense against the best defense in the NFL.

395
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett went nuts.

396
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: The officiating was certainly called into question there late in

397
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: the game as well. Joe, what were your big takeaways

398
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: on your tail to tape?

399
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 6: You know, I think from us just an next as

400
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 6: an no standpoint, I thought that overall we blocked decently

401
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 6: well in the running game. I like Jonathan Taylor back,

402
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 6: you know, as the feature back with a heavy load

403
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 6: of the snaps. I thought that downs again showed he's uncoverable.

404
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 6: You think about the big third down, You think about

405
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 6: that play when the Garrett jumps off sides and he

406
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: basically is just getting open behind that corner there in

407
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 6: that cover two look, and then just sprinted down the sideline.

408
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 6: I thought we had big plays and offensively, we did

409
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: everything that we needed to do. And you look at

410
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: the scoreboard, we gave up thirty nine, but really twenty

411
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: of those points right after the first fumble they had

412
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 6: to go thirty six yards TD on that play, you

413
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: know when Garrett just beat Freeland just you know, way

414
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 6: way too quick. That's another fourteen interceptions of field goal.

415
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 6: And then I mean the play when he jumped over,

416
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 6: I mean that was I mean to think he really

417
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 6: did that off one foot in to leap in that athleticism.

418
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 6: We talked pregame about turnovers and how the Browns were

419
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 6: last in the NFL at minus eight. Well we had

420
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 6: four and they beat us in the turnover by two.

421
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 6: And we talked about don't let Garrett wreck the game,

422
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 6: and unfortunately both of those things kind of happened and

423
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: added up. So that's what I was most disappointed with,

424
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 6: I think fundamentally. And then I thought the other thing

425
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: that and I thought Shane called a great game. And

426
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 6: obviously thirty nine points is a ton. But when we

427
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 6: got the ball back after we had scored go up

428
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 6: thirty eight thirty three on the big Pittman run, we

429
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 6: stop and we got all the momentum and we ran

430
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 6: three really vanilla conservative runs. There still was you know,

431
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 6: three and a half four minutes left, and I felt

432
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 6: like that's an eternity in the NFL. I wish we

433
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 6: would have been a little bit more aggressive there and

434
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 6: kind of went for the throat to try to either

435
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 6: throw the ball, run a gadget play, do something to

436
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 6: try to end with the game in our hands rather

437
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 6: than punt it back. Because we did, and then my

438
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 6: biggest fears, you know, came to fruition.

439
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, to me, yesterday was a real reminder

440
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 5: of my coaching career in just how long and how

441
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: hard it is to win a single game on Sunday.

442
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: You know, I thought all day long the Colts were

443
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 5: by far the best team, but Miles Garrett was the

444
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: best player, and he basically single handedly kept a minute.

445
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: If it's not for him, it's an absolutely.

446
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: Game.

447
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: Yesterday, it's an absolute route and he single handedly kept

448
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 5: them in the game with three, you know, the three

449
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 5: turnovers that he created, not I'm counting the block kick.

450
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 5: I mean, and they were all scoring plays. I mean,

451
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: they're all game changing plays. It was a valiant effort,

452
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 5: but in the end, and it's I'm going to get

453
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 5: into this, it's a little bit. What Joe said though,

454
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: is that the NFL game always comes down, for the

455
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 5: most part to the last four plus minutes, and that's

456
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: where we lost it. We lost it both offensively and defensively,

457
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 5: albeit a little help from the officials, but we lost

458
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 5: it with four minutes and fifteen seconds to go. We

459
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 5: did not finish that game. You know, when I looked

460
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 5: at it specifically, the things that put us in position

461
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 5: to win, dominating performance on offense just dominated the Cleveland

462
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: Browns four fifty six, one sixty one. Running. I thought

463
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 5: Shane did a great job of things we talked about

464
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 5: all week, you know, getting back to run centric, you know,

465
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: feature in twenty eight, you know, featureing of Taylor Moss

466
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 5: and of course downs. I thought the red zone offense,

467
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 5: you know, came back. I mean I thought he tricked everybody.

468
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: He tricked me for sure, and he certainly tricked Jimmy Schwartz,

469
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: you know, running the zone read down there you know,

470
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: with with Minshew and the defense was really solid for

471
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 5: most of the day. I mean they got four point

472
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: four per play were they were four for sixteen on

473
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: third down and ten tackles for losses and those were

474
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: the reasons that we were in a great position to win. Now,

475
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: the NFL is very complicated though, and everything matters. Now,

476
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: why didn't we win? Number one? The four turnovers plus

477
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 5: the blocked field goal, you know, there's no question about it,

478
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 5: you're not gonna win there. You know, we did allow

479
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: Garrett to ruin the game. We talked about that always

480
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 5: he can't ruin the game, he can't ruin the game. Well,

481
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 5: he did ruin the game, So that's on us. I

482
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 5: give Shane An a plus as an offensive coordinator, but

483
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 5: this week I'd give him a D minus as the

484
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 5: head coach. I thought it was a really poor pre

485
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: half management, particularly going back into your own you know,

486
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 5: end zone, after we had had the one sack already,

487
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 5: you know on Nelson, they had the sack to start with,

488
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: and then we go back in our own end zone.

489
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 5: I mean, we got a chip and a hit, but

490
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 5: those guys just waived him, and so, you know, I

491
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 5: mean I thought that was really bad management from that standpoint,

492
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 5: you know. And then I thought from a defensive stand point,

493
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 5: you know, we you know, at the end of the game,

494
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 5: and the reason I'm bringing it up is it's history.

495
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 5: It's time after time. You know, we let walker, We

496
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 5: let an XFL quarterback take the ball from the twenty.

497
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 5: He completes three balls for fifty six yards uncontested, the

498
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: one hook that wasn't anybody close to him, and then

499
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: we have a thirteen yard run that puts the ball

500
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 5: on our back porch. I mean, they get sixty seven

501
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: yards in two minutes and fifteen seconds. Now, you can,

502
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 5: you can argue about the call, but at the end

503
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 5: of the day, I mean, we should have stopped them

504
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 5: before that. You know, there isn't any question in my mind.

505
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 5: And so, you know, those are the kinds of things

506
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 5: that that beach. I mean, we did a lot of

507
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 5: things that gave us the chance to win, but we

508
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: did critical things, including not finishing the game that cost

509
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 5: us the game.

510
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 2: That's Rick Venturi Joe writes is along as well. That's

516
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: kind of a combos segment Glass half full, glass half empty,

517
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: and bad break or big concern. I think you know

518
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: where we're going with both of those concepts when we

519
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,359

533
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: Writzer back ony Matt Taylor and we're busting out a

534
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: segment here. We're calling it glass half full, half empty

535
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: and bad breaks or big concern because the Colts tend

536
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: a lot of good things on Sunday against the Browns,

537
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: but they also made key mistakes that let the Browns

538
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: triumph in the end. Let's combine the concepts here, break

539
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 2: it all down. Let's go offensive bursts versus turnovers. On Sunday,

540
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: the Colts torched the best defense in the NFL four

541
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six yards. They had thirty eight points.

542
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: They had twenty one points in two hundred and forty

543
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: eight yards of offense by halftime, which were more than

544
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: the Browns were allowing per game. Through the first five

545
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: games of the season, the Colts go over three hundred

546
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: yards passing. They had eight plays over twenty, and the

547
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: last three games the Colts have seventeen plays over twenty.

548
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: They've got seven over thirty, six over forty, and two

549
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: over fifty. Really explosive offense here as of late. But

550
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: the turnovers are killing the Colts, and they did so

551
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: for the second straight game. They had four turnovers against

552
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: the Browns, which led to seventeen points. In the last

553
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: two games, the Colts have turned it over combined eight times,

554
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: and those turnovers have led to thirty four points to

555
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the Browns. And the Browns took full

556
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: advantage of those situations, which you guys chronicled earlier in

557
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 2: the in segment number two. They had five scoring drives

558
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: of less than forty yards, they had three less than

559
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: twenty and one of zero. Rick, I'm gonna start with you.

560
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: Are you more glass half full on the Colts' ability

561
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: to move the ball the last two weeks and those

562
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: explosive plays, or are you more glass half empty because

563
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: of all the turnovers the last two games by the offense.

564
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously the turnovers are killers. They're always statistically the killers.

565
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 5: You can you know, you can make book on that,

566
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 5: so you know, I'm not gonna minimize that. But I

567
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 5: my glass is full, It's half full to full. From

568
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 5: what I'm seeing on offense. I'm seeing all offensive evolution

569
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 5: here that I haven't seen in a long time, you know.

570
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 5: Right now, and this is without what was going to

571
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 5: be our starting quarterback. We're sixth in scoring, We're back

572
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 5: up to twelfth in the red zone we had slipped.

573
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 5: We're ninth versus the run. We're ninth in the rush,

574
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: tenth in passing. And you know what I see is

575
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: a creative There's no question to me that Stichan is

576
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: living up to his reputation offensively. The running game is creative, Joe,

577
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 5: and I know what we're talking about. On that we're

578
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: running traps, power seals, whams, flips, we got into wildcat

579
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: gashed them. I mean, these are creative things on the

580
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 5: running game, along with just our offensive line block and

581
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 5: the hell out of people when we run the zone.

582
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: Our left side of the offensive line on that one

583
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 5: drive just absolutely ground those guys into the dirt. But

584
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 5: we are creative, and i'mseen in evolution of the running

585
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 5: game now with our running backs. And the thing that

586
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 5: has surprised me, one of the reasons my glass is

587
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 5: almost full is I didn't expect the explosiveness. We're getting.

588
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: Explosive players plays all over the place now. We haven't

589
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 5: done that forever, and I always thought that that would be,

590
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 5: you know, our limiting factor, that the lack of explosiveness

591
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: would stop us. But we're getting it. And then I

592
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 5: thought he was magnificent in the red zone. I mean

593
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 5: to use you know, to do something with Minshew that

594
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: nobody expected. That's a coaching win, you know. And give

595
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: Gardner credit. Don't get me wrong. He had to elude

596
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 5: a little bit and avoid, but he did, you know.

597
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: And I think the thing that I really like about

598
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 5: Shane is he did make the transition we talked about.

599
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 5: He learned after Jacksonville we don't have Richardson, we can't

600
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: play standstill. We got to get back to rushing. And

601
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you know, it was Taylor, it

602
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 5: was Moss, it was Downs. I love a coach who

603
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 5: utilizes his assets and builds around assets, and then everybody

604
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: else is a complimentary including Pittman. Tidman gets a one

605
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 5: on one, he catches the ball and makes guys miss.

606
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 5: But those first three guys are the guys that are

607
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 5: just destructive. So in my case, and because I love

608
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 5: the way our offensive line is playing on the running game. Now,

609
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 5: you know, obviously we'll get into some of the negatives later,

610
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: but my glass is actually full because I didn't expect

611
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 5: us to be this kind of offensive team, particularly yeah,

612
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: what he's doing with Gardner.

613
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: All right, how about you, Joe? Where's your water level? There?

614
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: The offensive burst and the efficiencies on offense versus the

615
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: turnovers here lately.

616
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say I got some water in my glass,

617
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: maybe not as much as coach, and I do agree.

618
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 6: The explosive plays, especially without Richardson, has been huge. When

619
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 6: you think about we had two guys with twenty yard

620
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 6: runs and Minshew had seventeen. Then we had four different

621
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 6: receivers that are going for twenty plus. I mean, it's

622
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 6: all across the board, and I think downs as a playmaker.

623
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 6: Pittman had the great catch and run, but I'm half

624
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 6: empty for the sole reason of the time turnovers. And

625
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: here's why, Matt. I don't feel like some of these

626
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 6: plays have been complete game changing plays. But we're coughing

627
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 6: it up. And what I mean by that is the

628
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: fumbles in the pocket with Minshew, we got to get

629
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 6: better at two straight games now of him coughing it up.

630
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 6: And I understand, when somebody blindside blocks you, you hit

631
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 6: the ball. But the good quarterbacks they have that pocket awareness,

632
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 6: they know when to slide, they know how to protect

633
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 6: the football. And right now, there's a little bit of

634
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 6: worry to me every time we get sacked. And again,

635
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 6: it's got to be a better job by the offensive

636
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 6: line running back schematic protection that he's going to fumble

637
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 6: the football, and you know a little bit of deja

638
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 6: vuda last year with Matt Ryan, and I just don't

639
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 6: that want to become a recurring issue where every time

640
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 6: we take a sack in the pocket on second and ten,

641
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 6: the ball is coughing up on the turf, because that's

642
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 6: the difference in winning and losing these games, especially yesterday.

643
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: All right, Rick VN Terry and Joe Wright's on Colts

644
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Round Table Live tonight. I'm Matt Taylor here on ninety

645
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: three to five and one oh seven five the fan,

646
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: that's a glass half full, glass half empty. Let's go

647
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: a different approach here. Let's talk about the defensive stops

648
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: following those turnovers versus those questionable calls. Because the Colts defense,

649
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: they were called upon to finish the game up by

650
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: five points. But the Browns, we all remember, right, they

651
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: drive eighty yards. They had the big thirty yard completion

652
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: to Elijah More on that third and ten. But the

653
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: Colts that they appeared to have won the game, they

654
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: got the EJ. Speed stripsack with the Browns inside the

655
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: red zone, but it was wiped off due to that

656
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 2: illegal contact penalty assessed to Darryl Baker Junior on Amari Cooper.

657
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: Then the ball goes to the eight yard line. Then

658
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: on the very next snap, Bakers called for pass interference

659
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: on the play that was probably on a ball that

660
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: was uncatchable. It's all debatable, right, it's water under the

661
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: bridge now because there's nothing you can do about it.

662
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: The ball then gets moved down to the one yard line.

663
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: Three straight stops by the Colts defense. Then on fourth

664
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: and goal of the one, Kareem Hunt pounds his way

665
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 2: across the goal line with fifteen seconds left. So so

666
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: despite the Colts turning the ball over, the defense isn't

667
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: able to get those stops following sudden change. So, Joe,

668
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: you're first the Colts inability to win the game on

669
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: defense in the fourth quarter. Is that a bad break

670
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: because of the penalties or a big concern because, like

671
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: I said, we've seen that ending to that movie before.

672
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 6: It's some of both, Matt and let's be honest, that

673
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 6: ball was uncatchable. I mean Rick Smith's if he was

674
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 6: there and shoulder pads and helmets wouldn't have been able

675
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 6: to bring that down with his ten foot wing span,

676
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: so that was a bad call. You can argue the

677
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 6: illegal contact to play before again, tough to have back

678
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: to back calls there against Baker, especially with the game

679
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 6: heading in the balance, But I agree fourth quarter defense

680
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 6: is something different when you look at the sudden change

681
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna include the block field goal there. You know,

682
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 6: we had four turnovers that were sudden change. One they

683
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 6: recovered in the end zone, but the other two went

684
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 6: TD field goal field goal, so we didn't exactly bow

685
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 6: up there, and I think they had to go eighty

686
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 6: yards at the end of the game. And I agree

687
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: that we didn't get the job done when we needed to,

688
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 6: but also I think offensively contributed to that too. We

689
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: talked about a little bit earlier in show, but we

690
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 6: were so vanilla and we got the ball back with

691
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: three and a half minutes left, and we had all

692
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 6: the momentum, and they had three timeouts, so it's not

693
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 6: like we ran the ball three times. They call time

694
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 6: out three thirties in eternity in the NFL for time.

695
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 6: I think it would have been different if we had

696
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 6: one forty five on the clock, you know what I'm saying.

697
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 6: So I was a little bit disappointed we were sou

698
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 6: vanilla offensively, but again you're judged on what you do

699
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 6: in this game on third down, in the red zone,

700
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 6: and especially the fourth quarter and fourth quarter defense has

701
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 6: been a problem, and it reared its ugly ahead again

702
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 6: yesterday afternoon.

703
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: All right, Rick, what do you think bad breaks or

704
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: big concern about the defense unable to perform and rise

705
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: to the occasion on sudden change?

706
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, obviously bad breaks were a factor. You

707
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 5: have Pass interference forever has been a judgment call. Now

708
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: the kid is grabby and he's grabby from behind, so

709
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: he's gonna get penalties. The NFL does not define uncatchable ball.

710
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: We talk uncatchable, but they don't define There is no

711
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: un catchable or very unctchable. So it's always going to

712
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 5: be a very vague call. But you can't chase rainbows.

713
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 5: I mean the Chiefs, the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl.

714
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: I mean, the Eagles are still bitching about that holding

715
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 5: penalty that was similar to me to the speed sack.

716
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 5: But the Super Bowl trophy is still in Kansas City.

717
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 5: So in the end, it really is a moot point.

718
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 5: I am concerned because, and you said it in your intro,

719
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 5: I've seen this music over and over and over in

720
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: the last year and a half now, and if you

721
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: look at it, it didn't only happen at the end

722
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 5: of the game. It was a critical three points that

723
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 5: it happened before the half. And it just seems like

724
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 5: that with this staff, for some reason, they will play

725
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 5: lights out and then they'll play just scared almost in

726
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 5: the last minute of the half or the last minute

727
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: of the game. I mean, we're you know, when we

728
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: blitzed yesterday with our six man blitz, they were helpless.

729
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: They couldn't get it off. It was absolutely ridiculous. But

730
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: before the half we played cover two, Cover three soft.

731
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 5: They hit balls underneath this, they make us mistackle, they

732
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 5: go down and get a critical. You like to have

733
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 5: that field go back right at the end of the game,

734
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 5: and you forget about that. And then, to me, what's

735
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: upsetting is here, we're playing well all game long as

736
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: they and again there's no disrespect to PJ. Walker, but

737
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: he can't hit the barn with a ball from twenty

738
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: five feet away. He just can't. He's inaccurate as heck.

739
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 5: And we go first there their first intent on the

740
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 5: twenty with two something to go, we give up a

741
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 5: cover two uncontested, we don't collision the receiver. We give

742
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: a thirty yard play to More, they come right back.

743
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 5: They run a thirteen yard game to Strong, their fourth tailback.

744
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 5: They come right back, and this one just absolutely killed me.

745
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 5: A completion right over the middle to people's jones. We're

746
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 5: in a soft four. I have no idea who Leonard

747
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: was covering. He covered grass, I guess, and the guy

748
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 5: has another thirteen yard game. Then we throw an out

749
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: unmolested to Cooper to get down to the thirteen. So basically,

750
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: in four plays they go sixty seven yards and we

751
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 5: play soft zone the whole way. So you know, I

752
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 5: really you know, when you put that ball on your

753
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 5: back porch and you put it down to where a

754
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: fifty to fifty fade can beat you, you've got to

755
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 5: be accountable for that. And you know we've done it

756
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 5: against the Rams last year. We were twenty ninth in

757
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. So to say that you'd be concerned

758
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 5: about this, man, If you're not, then you're not looking

759
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 5: at it. Now. Do I think it's controllable? I do,

760
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 5: because I think it's defensive play calling. I mean, we're

761
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 5: better than that. But all of a sudden and Joe's right,

762
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 5: we played scared with four minutes and fifteen seconds on

763
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 5: offense as well. We could have taken three knees really

764
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 5: and you know, and gave them the ball with way

765
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 5: too much time to go. But at some point with

766
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 5: a quarterback like Walker, you I mean, you know, if

767
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 5: it's Stafford, I can almost accept it, but you're talking PJ.

768
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 5: Walker walks it down the field on you, so you

769
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 5: know my glass is empty on that one.

770

805

Speaker 2: It's available only in the app. It's time now for

806

Speaker 2: those mail bag questions. Get him in using hashtag Colts

807
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 2: around Table. We got a lot to sift through here tonight.

808
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to Danny up first in the mail bag.

809
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: Danny's asking, how concerned are you about the injury to

810
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: Eric Johnson for the next couple of weeks with Grover

811
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: Stewart being suspended? Rick, the depth up front along that

812
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 2: defensive line got tested towards the end of that game

813
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: and might be tested here going forward.

814
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a big, big concern. You know, it was

815
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: a big concern losing Grover. I did think Johnson was

816
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 5: coming along, you know, I thought he was killing along.

817
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 5: I didn't know that. I didn't think necessarily he would

818
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 5: hold up for sixty minutes. You got a little bit

819
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: of a problem with Brian because he's kind of a

820
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 5: tweet er. He's not really an anchor knows, and he's

821
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 5: not really a jet three. You know, I've said it

822
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: all along we're so much deeper at end. I mean,

823
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 5: we can put all four guys in and you won't

824
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 5: notice the difference. But there's a big drop off a tackle,

825
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 5: you know. And I even made the comment on that

826
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: long run Welcome to Football with Al Grover Stewart. I mean,

827
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 5: you know, I mean all of a sudden and you

828
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 5: know they end up at four or five. I know

829
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: it's disturbing, it's distorting a little bit because of the

830
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 5: long run. But the last time I checked long runs count,

831
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 5: you know, So I think I think it's gonna be

832
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 5: really important as we go on that that the defensive

833
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 5: staff and Gus Bradley come up with alternatives. I don't

834
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 5: think we can sit in there and say, now, even

835
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 5: with Al Johnson, that we can hold up inside there.

836
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 5: So you know, if it were me in our base defense,

837
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: I would be moving every down. I'd be firing my mic.

838
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 5: I'd be coming off the edge and pinching and pirating.

839
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: And then I said this to Joe on Sunday before

840
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 5: the game. I would I would get into some five

841
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 5: man bear, you know, with Hey and with Ebu Khan

842
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 5: on the outside and using Buckner and Dale as the three,

843
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 5: and then you could use the nose, but he doesn't

844
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 5: have to be you know, he's never doubled in that situation.

845
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 5: But I think I think you're going to have to

846
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 5: be a little bit more creative. We're not like that,

847
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 5: we don't do that by nature, but I think it's

848
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 5: going to be necessary as we go forward.

849
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with that, coach too. And the other

850
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 6: thing is, you saw it show up yesterday in terms

851
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 6: of more free access from their guards running up and

852
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 6: getting on our linebackers and those guys getting driven back

853
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 6: because you didn't have the threat of wanting to double

854
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 6: team with the center on Grover Stewart like people have

855
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: done for the.

856
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: Last three or four weeks.

857
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 6: So I agree, we got to do some different stuff

858
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 6: moving forward and can't just sit back in our normal

859
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 6: base defense and expect guys to play at Stuart's level

860
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 6: because reality is just not going to happen.

861
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 2: Joe Wright's right there, Rick Venturi along, I'm Matt Taylor.

862
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: A couple more minutes left here tonight on Colts Around

863
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 2: Table Live on ninety three five and one oh seven five,

864
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: the fans go back to the mail bag as always,

865
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: hashtag Colts Around Table to reach us here on this segment, Brock,

866
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: You guys kind of talked about this earlier in the show,

867
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: but Brock is asking, did you have any issues with

868
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: the play calling and decision making late in the first

869
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: half when it came to throwing it from our own

870
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: end zone and then calling a pass play when we

871
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: could have burned more time off the clock and prevented

872
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 2: a late score in the first half by the Browns. Joe,

873
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: any anything the Colts could have done differently there that

874
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: last two minutes of the first half. That was really

875
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: when you go back and you know, you examine the

876
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: wild craziness of a game like that. The two minutes

877
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: there late in the first half really kind of set

878
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: the tone for the Browns going into the second half.

879
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: They scored ten points under the two minute warning before halftime.

880
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think you look at the sack

881
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 6: fumble that they recovered and Garrett, I mean, he just

882
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 6: beat free and clean and he got a chip from

883
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 6: ogle Tree on the way out. But maybe you think

884
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 6: about just purely double team and I'm saying, hey, we're

885
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 6: gonna have one less guy go out in the route,

886
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 6: but we're not going to give up a sack FuMB

887
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 6: on the end zone, which we did, and again that's

888
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 6: that's something that's just it's a tough ask for a

889
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 6: rookie Freeland in doing it, and he just got beat

890
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 6: very very cleanly, unfortunately when the protect action was still

891
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 6: sliding to him. But then I think what really disappointed

892
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 6: me was we go down there, they score, we got

893
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 6: the ball back. We tried a couple running plays. They

894
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 6: use their last time out. There's a minute thirty on

895
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 6: the clock, and we try to run a little screen

896
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden the screen gets and Minshew

897
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 6: throws at his feet. I get you, he would have

898
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 6: been better off to take a knee and take the

899
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 6: sack and let forty five seconds run off the clock.

900
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 6: And now when you punt the ball back, they're gonna

901
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 6: get it with thirty thirty five seconds, not a minute fifteen.

902
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 6: We played some soft zone coverage and they went down

903
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 6: and kicked the field goal, and all of a sudden,

904
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 6: you're sitting here. You lose by one. That field goal

905
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 6: at the end of the half was the difference. I

906
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 6: wish we would have just ran another play, brought the

907
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 6: clock all the way down instead of trying that screen

908
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 6: pass and then Minshew the wherewithal to just take a

909
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 6: sack and punt it from your own end zone because

910
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 6: you're gonna draw forty five seconds off the clock.

911
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 3: Yep, that would have been huge right there.

912
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: The time was more precious than anything that the Colts

913
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: could have done there in terms of yardage if they

914
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: don't get the first down. All right, that's a look

915
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: at the Colt's mail bag here on a Colts Roundtable

916
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,759

918
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: we'll close out the show. We'll look ahead to week eight.

919
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints are up next. They're rested to

920
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 2: a degree. They played on Thursday Night Football last week,

921
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: so we'll talk about the Saints and what New Orleans

922
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: brings to the table. They are three and four going

923
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: into this game, just like the Colts. We'll do that

924
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: when we come back. You're listening to Colts Roundtable Live

938
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: vv Ury and Joe Wrights are closing out the show

939
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 2: with myself. I'm Matt Taylor. It's time for those closing arguments,

940
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: and Joe, I guess we'll just wrap up with the

941
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 2: fact that it was another heartbreaking loss for the Colts.

942
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: Like we said, fourth time since the start of last

943
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 2: year where the Colts lose a home game by one point.

944
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: What is your closing argument on how the Colts can

945
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 2: build off all the things they did well on Sunday

946
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: scoring thirty eight points. But you gotta clean up all

947
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: of those turnovers that have plagued this team the last

948
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: two games.

949
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: No doubt. I mean, we scored thirty eight against the

950
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 6: NFL's best defense. That's the reality and why my optimism

951
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 6: is still high on this team. And Matt, I'm just

952
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 6: looking at this. It's a three game season to the bye,

953
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: New Orleans at home, Caroline on the road in New

954
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 6: England and Germany. Three winnable games. And if I'm Shane

955
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 6: in this team, I'm just thinking six and four, six

956
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 6: and four, six and four at the bye. But Coach,

957
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 6: I know you've watched more tape than me.

958
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: What do we gotta do?

959
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 6: Can we beat the Saints coming up here on Sunday

960
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 6: or what?

961
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? And this is my number one alumni besides the Colts,

962
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 5: So this is the real big one for me. I

963
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 5: tell you when I look at New Orleans, and I

964
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 5: have looked at all their tape because they played Thursday nights,

965
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 5: so you know, basically, it's very very similar to the

966
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 5: Cleveland situation. They're very good on defense as they sit

967
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: right now, they're five total and seven against the score.

968
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 5: I mean, they're another really really legit defense. We've been

969
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 5: tearing them up. Those are legit defenses, but there they

970
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 5: present another problem. And then on offense, they're really skilled

971
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 5: with Olave and Thomas's back, you know, camera. But they've

972
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 5: really struggled. They've really struggled on third down, they've struggled

973
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: in the red zone, and they're really hurt and nobody's

974
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 5: happy in New Orleans, I guarantee you. But the difference

975
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 5: with them is they have a quarterback in car you

976
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: know who is one of the great comeback quarterbacks in

977
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 5: history and who can't really play. This is not PJ. Walker,

978
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 5: So you know they even though they're struggling, they have

979
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 5: a big upside there on off if they put it together.

980
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: Yep, and they did towards the end of that ballgame

981
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: on Thursday night, almost coming from behind knocking off the

982
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: Jaguar as it was not meant to be, but a

983
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: legitimate threat in the NFL with Derek Carr there at quarterback,

984
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about that. We've seen that with the

985
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: Raiders the last couple of years. And that's all the

986
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: time we've got tonight, Rick and Joe. Fantastic job. As always,

987
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: very much enjoy our chats here on a Monday night,

988
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,160
