00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: What's up everyone? Welcome into another episode of Instant Reaction

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: here on the Colts Audio Network and on the Colts

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: YouTube page. I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined every week by Colt's

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks, as we break

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: down the Colts latest game, Bill, the preseason is over.

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: The Colts twenty seven to fourteen winners, Yes, indeed, twenty

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: seven to fourteen winners over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: night at pay Corpse Stadium. Bill, the starters played on offense,

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: they played five possessions on defense. You saw three possessions

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: out of the starters. Got to start with Anthony Richardson

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: and the day that he had, Bill just the general

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: takeaway I had wasn't necessarily the really high high of

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: that first drive or the lows of the pick six,

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, the missed eightyill on third down. It was

15
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: that After the game, we're in the small little media

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: room at Pigor Stadium for the visiting team and Anthony

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Richardson was asked Bill to sum up his day and

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: he kind of gets his grin on his face and

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: he goes, it's decent through two touchdowns, and I just

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: I thought Bill like that little quip was such an

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: indication and a reminder of just how even keel Anthony

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Richardson is. He cares, He cares deeply about what he does.

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to throw a pick six, but he

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: doesn't dwell on it. He doesn't let it lower his confidence.

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: And I was talking about this with Lara Overton on

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the bus coming back from Cincinnati last night, and I

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: was just like, even even though he had that great

28
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: first drive and the next four drives did not go

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: very well, you never got a sense that his confidence

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: is shaken, that he he's anything but believing in himself.

31
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to start the pod here Bill.

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: As a player, when your quarterback has that even keel

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: nothing phases him, never too high, never too low mentality,

34
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: what does that do for an entire offense?

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: Well, for an entire awkments It gives some confidence. I mean,

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: that's what you'd like to see. And for him to

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: be so young and to have that type of mentality,

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: never getting rattled, always think, even keeled, that's what you

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: want in your quarterback because they're going to there are

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: going to be some highs and they're going to be

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: some lows and you have to stay even keel and

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: you have to be able to process things through that

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: that roller coaster ridet of going high and going low. So, uh,

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: if I'm a player on that team, I feel real

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: good about Anthony Richardson, and I like I think and

46
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: uh he said something also at one time where he said,

47
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: you know what, things are going to happen. I'm a

48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: miss throws, receivers are going to drop the ball. Things

49
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: are going to happen, But we just keep on going on.

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: We have to execute the next play. And to me,

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: when you have a quarterback like that, you know there's

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: a bad play, he has to wash it out of

53
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: his mind. And that's good because now he needs to

54
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: go on to the next play and that play needs

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: to be successful. So when you have a quarterback like

56
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: that that has a even keel mentality, even keel demeanor

57
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: out there in the football field, that usually bodes well

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: for the team. And I think for him to be

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: so young and to have that now, to me, that's

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 2: amazing and I think that will help the Colts out

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: moving forward.

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: And Bill, we already knew this about Anthony coming off

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of last year, his rookie year, That was one of

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the things that really stood out to players, to coaches,

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the staff as they got to know him last year

66
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: once he got in the building.

67
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: And I think about that.

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Rams game where the high highs of that second half

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: where he led the twenty three to nothing comeback in

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Week four last year, but the low lows of that

71
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: first half, those are pretty low lows, not scoring any points.

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: But because he possesses that mentality, he can turn it

73
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: around on a dime. We even saw it Bill in

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: Tuesday's joint practice. Right the start of that practice did

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: not go very well. He ended it really strong again

76
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: because he's not phased by the lows and he's not

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: like riding the highs and then kind of taking a

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: playoff here or there or down shifting or anything, because

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: he's like, well, I got it. There's none of that

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: in this guy. And that's such an asset to the

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Colts when you have to play a seventeen game season

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: and you expect him to be out there for all

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: seventeen of those games exactly, I.

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: Mean, and during the last seventeen week season, as you mentioned,

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: there's going to be highs and there's going to be

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: low there are going to be games where, you know what,

87
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't look good maybe for three quarters, but then

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: maybe in that fourth quarter game is close enough where

89
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: him being even keeled brings the team helps bring the

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 2: team back to win that game. And it might be

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: a drive that's you know, that doesn't go well, that's

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: important for the but he bounces back very important for

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: the guys to see that. For him to stay even keel,

94
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: very important for the guys because that will just build

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: more confidence in the guys and what they have and

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson and what he can do out there in

97
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: the football field.

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: One more, just kind of big picture of thought here

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: on Anthony Richardson, just because this game Bill isn't it

100
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: was on primetime. You know, if you're a football fan

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: and you're watching a preseason game on a Thursday night

102
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: and you tuned in and you saw Anthony Richardson throw

103
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: that pick six and miss ad Mitchell a couple of times,

104
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: and you might say I'm out, Like I saw like

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: people on Twitter being like, you know what, I'm out

106
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: on Anthony Richardson, And it's like, what are we doing

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: here that you cannot take Bill? One preseason game, one

108
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: week of practice, one any you have to take the

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: preseason in its totality, and you've been there for every practice,

110
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: You've seen every game. I've been there for every practice.

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: I've seen every game, and Bill, the totality van today.

112
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Richardson's preseason has been good. There's no denying that. He

113
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: feels like it's good. The Colts feel like it's good.

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: And with our own two eyes, Bill, I think we

115
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: can say it's been good whether or not. You want

116
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: to splice out a couple of bad plays here or

117
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: there and say this guy is going to be a

118
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: bust because he missed a throw in the preseason.

119
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean people have to realize there's not

120
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: one quarterback that has played in the National Football League

121
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: and is playing in the National Football League that's had

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: every day when it's been a great day for him,

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: all right, and it's not going to happen. Guys are

124
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: gonna misthrows, Guys are going to throw interceptions. Those things

125
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: are going to happen. Is how you deal with those

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: mistakes that you make. Are you just nonchalantly saying ah,

127
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: no big deal and not learning from it, or are

128
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: you looking at it and say, okay, this is where

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: I made a mistake, the coach is getting on, not

130
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: getting on him, but showing him where he needs to

131
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: improve at. And Anthony is a guy that wants to learn,

132
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: he wants to be coached, and he understands where he's

133
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: made mistakes and he's trying to correct those things. But

134
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: he's also being a good leader in that locker room,

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in that huddle, taking command of the huddle and showing

136
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: the guys that, look, I can do this. Just trust me,

137
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: and we know you and I know because we've watched practice,

138
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: we understand that's going to be highs and lows in

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: the game and practice and throughout the season. For him

140
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: to just keep on going and for him to learn

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: and grow is what we want to see each week

142
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: during this season. Yes, there's going to be games where

143
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: you look at the statue like woof, that's not good.

144
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: But if the team wins, that's what matters. And as

145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: long as the team wins, offense plays well enough to

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: get enough points, defense does a good job stopping special

147
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: teams carry out their assignments. Then if we win and

148
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 2: he learns, that's only going to make this team better.

149
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: And we need to see him continually go up, progress up,

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: it's gonna be, like we said, some lows and some highs,

151
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: but as long as over the season that trajectory is

152
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: still going up, the coach should feel real good about

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: who they have at quarterback and Anthony Richardson.

154
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into what Anthony Richardson specifically did

155
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 1: in this game. That first drive, Bill came out looking

156
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: really strong. He kind of hits the bender to Alec

157
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Pierce where he's able to work through his progression to

158
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: get there. Alec does a great job staying in his

159
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: route and getting himself open. Also on that drive, another

160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: throw he had Alec Pierce was on a third and

161
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: I think it was third and thirteen. It was a

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: third and long, and the Bengals sent a slot pressure, yes,

163
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: and Anthony just replaced the slot pressure. He got the

164
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: bat of his hands real quick to Pierce, who is

165
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: able to run for the first down with the butt

166
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: after the catch. And there was another play too, I

167
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: think it was a shot play where nothing was really there.

168
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: He didn't force it, he dumped it down to Jonathan Taylor.

169
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: Just like, really good decision making from Anthony Richardson on

170
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: that drive that you can take away and say, hey, Okay,

171
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: you know you're going to see drives like this in

172
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the regular season. You might see drives like the ones

173
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that didn't go very well.

174
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: But again that's one of those like proof of concept

175
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: drives of like, yeah, he still got this in him,

176
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: especially going against the Bengals second team defense. Like that's

177
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: how you wanted it to look to start this game exactly.

178
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: You wanted him to go down there and have command

179
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: of the offense and move the ball down the field,

180
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: which the offense did, and the throws that he made.

181
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: You saw the decisions that he was making out there,

182
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: and he was making good decisions, and that's what you

183
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: want to see from a quarterback. You want to see

184
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: a quarterback making good decisions. We know Anthony can throw

185
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: the ball, we know he can put the ball in

186
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: tight spots. We know he had he throws tight spirals.

187
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: The physical part is not the issue to me. The

188
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: thing you want to see is him making good decisions

189
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: and him getting a ball out on time and delivering

190
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: it on time. And that's what he did. In the

191
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: two players you talked about on Alec Peers, the one

192
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: as they brought pressure off the slot, he got the

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: ball out quick, got to Alec. They were on the

194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: same page. Great play, the one he threw overall, which

195
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: I thought was a great throw to Alec. The one downfield,

196
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: I think it's what twenty yards maybe eighteen to twenty

197
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: yards down the field. Nice throw and the small area.

198
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: Alec did a nice job catching it, protecting himself, and

199
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 2: he got to tackle. So those are things you like

200
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: to see. And you know, I think as season goes on,

201
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: he will continue to get better. And I'm not worried

202
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: about the physical part of it getting the ball to

203
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: the receivers or or throwing the ball down the field

204
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: fifty yards or whatever. It's. To me, it's the decision

205
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: making that I'm looking at, and so far I thought

206
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: yesterday he made some good decisions out there in the

207
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: football field. Yeah.

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: To me, Bill, the mistakes that cropped up later in

209
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: the game were the result of miscommunication. That's something Shane

210
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: Steichen said, That's something that Anthony said after the game.

211
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: And this is why these preseason games matter, right. A

212
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: miscommunication in a game, there's just something different about it

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: than versus in a practice, right, Right, So when Kylon

214
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Granson runs a pivot route and Anthony Richardson expects him

215
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: to do one thing and Granson does another thing. Okay,

216
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: figure out why why did Anthony see what he saw?

217
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Why did Grantson see what he saw? And figure out

218
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: what went wrong there and then fix it for the

219
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: regular season. I think those moments, like you going back

220
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: to something you mentioned Bill about how coachable Anthony Richardson is,

221
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: those moments are gonna are going to be more impactful

222
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: for Richardson than Hey. I had a great drive seven

223
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: of eight for sixty five yards on that first drive

224
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: of the touchdown. He's going to take more away from

225
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: the film of that pick six to Granson and then

226
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: those couple of misses to ad Mitchell on third down.

227
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: Oh by far. He's going to take more from that,

228
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: from that play and understanding it, and he needs to

229
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: bank it. And once he banks it in his mind,

230
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: he understands, and Colin would be the same way. He'll

231
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: bank it and understand. Okay, this is what I need

232
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: to do, you know? Is the way I saw that

233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: play look like the defender was playing Kylin on the inside.

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: Kyland probably should have piv turned outside, but he turned

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: inside and tried to slide outside and then I think

236
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: when Anthony saw him turn inside, that's where he threw

237
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: it at and the guy who stepped up and made

238
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: a play. But it's just miscommunication. They'll both get on

239
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: the same page, you know, they'll understand it. They'll see

240
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: the film, they'll talk about it, the coaches will coach them,

241
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: coach them up and get those guys UH corrected, and

242
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: then that they will move forward. And that's what preseudent

243
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: is about, That's what practice is about. You make mistakes,

244
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: and this is what they call this learning tape. This

245
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: is learning tape that the coach have right now so

246
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: they can learn from it and move forward and hopefully

247
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: in the regular season they won't have the same mistake.

248
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about ad Mitchell and Alec Pierce Bill because

249
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,479
Speaker 1: I thought both of them had really, really good preseasons

250
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: and it ended with both of them making some really

251
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: impressive plays. Adie Mitchell obviously getting the touchdown his first

252
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: career your preseason touchdown, and then Alex Pierce two of

253
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: those catches. Again, those are two guys who seem to

254
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: be entering the twenty twenty first season with a lot

255
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: of confidence because they were both able to stack of

256
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: some some pretty impressive days throughout the month or so

257
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: of training camp and preseason that we've seen.

258
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like what both of them have shown us

259
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: through training camp and up to now, because it's not

260
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: like they've had they've gone way up and way down.

261
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, They've had pretty steady practices during camp. I've

262
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: done a pretty good job and have been steady during

263
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: the games. And that's what you want to see. You

264
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: want to see the guys to be consistent out there

265
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: that hey, it's not going to be one practice I'm

266
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: having a great practice, the next practice I'm having a

267
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: bad practice. Those are going to happen, but they don't.

268
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 2: You don't want them to be so wide apart that

269
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: you have to say, you know what am I going

270
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: to get on this day? So those guys have been

271
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: pretty pretty consistent out there during practice. I thought both

272
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: of them have played. I thought, I think both of

273
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: them have played well in the games and I've done

274
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: a nice job. And I like what a d Mitchell

275
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Dunn did on that play where he caught the touchdown.

276
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: Basically they brought someone else off the slot, the safety

277
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: had him in coverage. Coles had a nice play where

278
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: they had two guys on the left side come across

279
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: and set a let's say this a rubber route and

280
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: a legal pick.

281
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go, legal not an illegal pick, a

282
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: legal legal pick.

283
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: Yes. And uh and and I went underneath Ar hit him.

284
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: He scored a touchdown. And it's what we call is

285
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: a hot route because the hot routes building built into

286
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: that route, where really Ad doesn't have to change his

287
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: route or anything. He just continued on this route. He

288
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: just might have to look a little quicker. They get

289
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: the ball and Ar and Ad on the same page,

290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: got the ball to at a nine and he's took

291
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: it in for his first touchdown, which I'm happy to

292
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: see the young man get his first touchdown preseason touchdown.

293
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: But it's still a touchdown for the young man. Now

294
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: he knows what it feels like is scoring in the

295
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: National Football League.

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you mentioned about

297
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: both those guys about how they they never had a

298
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: like a really bad day in practice. I had a

299
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: really good talk with Alec Pierce in the locker room

300
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati after the game. Or he mentioned that was

301
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: one of his focuses coming into training camp, was that

302
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: he wanted, you know, he was like, I know I'm

303
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: going to have good days or I'm making plays, making

304
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: plays down the field, but I know I'm going to

305
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: have days where those are not going to come. So

306
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: how do I handle those days? And he said one

307
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: of my big focuses is making sure like raising the

308
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: level of the bad days essentially so they're not bad days.

309
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: But you can't And I was like, yeah, you can't

310
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: have great days seventeen days out of training camp. He's like, exactly.

311
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: There is a stretch early in camp where he had

312
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: a couple of really good practices but he was maybe

313
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up. They had one more practice

314
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: before and off day, and he said he could feel

315
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: himself almost saying like I can just downshift in this practice.

316
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: We got a day off, I'll be fine, And he

317
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: was able to reverse his mindset and say, nope, I'm

318
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: taking this day as it is and I'm not thinking

319
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: about tomorrow. Went out, didn't have a bad practice, you know,

320
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: just had a good day, a solid day. And I

321
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: think that's what you've seen on Alec Pierce's consistency throughout

322
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: training camp, where you haven't noticed him disappear, you haven't

323
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: noticed him have a drop or you know, like just

324
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: his body language slumping a little bit. He's a really

325
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: good body language. He's made plays and yeah, there have

326
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: been days where he hasn't made a thirty five yard

327
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: catch down the field, but you've still felt his presence

328
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: out there. And I think that's so encouraging for him

329
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: to go into the season with that level of confidence.

330
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, that shows maturity for him as a player,

331
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: just growing as a player, knowing that, hey, there are

332
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: going to be days that I might have a great

333
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: day during camp. You know I might catch four balls

334
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: for you know, eighteen yards per catch, but there might

335
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: be days where you know what, I'm only catch one pass.

336
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: You know that's going to happen. But how do you

337
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: perform in the other areas? Are you still running your

338
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: routes consistently? Are you still running crisp routes even though

339
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: you're not getting the ball. But are you still doing

340
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: the things to help the team, to help other players

341
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: get open? And that comes from maturity, That comes from

342
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: just being around the guys and making sure you want

343
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: to be the best that you can be and being

344
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: a professional. And I think you've seen that from Alec

345
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: that he's went out. He's gone out there, he's played well,

346
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: he's running hard each route, and he's trying to make plays,

347
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: just trying not for the lows to be real low

348
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: and trying not just to try to stay even kill

349
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: as we talked about ar, but try to stay even

350
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: Keel go out there and work hard. There are going

351
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: to be days where he doesn't feel like practicing. It's

352
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: just natural. That's just happens throughout your career and throughout

353
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: the season. But you have to go out there and

354
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: make the most of that practice and be the best

355
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: you can for the team because there are other guys

356
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: depending on you. Even though you're not feeling the best,

357
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: there are other guys depending on you, So you have

358
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: to go out there and that, as I said, that

359
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: shows a level of maturity for a young player.

360
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: And Uh out that This is such an interesting discussion

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: because I think this goes for all athletes and it's

362
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: something that we don't always recognize that, like you just

363
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: expect athletes to be at peak performance every single day.

364
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: But I go back to Bill, I'm kind of, like,

365
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, secretly a baseball guy, right, I go back to, like,

366
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not secretly a base or base Maybe

367
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: our maybe our listeners and viewers don't know that. But

368
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: I go back to when I covered baseball back in Chicago,

369
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: and I would talk with pitchers about this, and I

370
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: always thought this was so interesting that there would be

371
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: guys like I remember having this conversation with Jake Peevey,

372
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: who is like, there are days where you just go

373
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: into your bullpen before a game and you're warming up

374
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't have it today. Nothing's working,

375
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: my velocity is down, my movements not where it needs

376
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: to be. Nothing's working. But you know what, you still

377
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: got to out there, go out there and pitch. You

378
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: got to start the game. So how do you figure

379
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: out how to raise the level of those days where

380
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't have it? And sometimes you would

381
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: talk to guys after those games and they'd be like,

382
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: I had an awful bullpen session and then all of

383
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, I went out through seven ings a one

384
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: run ball Like that is a that's a skill for

385
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: athletes to be able to still perform on your bad

386
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: days that I just sometimes you you forget about it

387
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you bill as a former professional athlete, like,

388
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: how did you handle that? In your career, how did

389
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: you handle like going into a practice or even going

390
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: into a game and being like, how my body doesn't

391
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: feel totally right. This is a tough situation here, like

392
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: how did you kind of work through that?

393
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: Well? You work through it that knowing that, hey, Okay,

394
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: my body might might not feel the best during this practice,

395
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: during the game, but what can I do to figure

396
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: out how to make sure that I give my best

397
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: this day? And a lot of times what you do

398
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: is just you just have to just sit down and

399
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: start thinking, Okay, what do I need to do. I

400
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: have to give everything I have right now for this practice,

401
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: you know what, Let me get through this practice. Not

402
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: that you're trying to rush through to practice, but let

403
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: me figure out a way where I can kind of

404
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: patch myself up and get through this practice and give

405
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: my best for this team. And you just have to

406
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: mentally just fight through it. It's it's tough mentally, but

407
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: you have to fight through it. And a lot of

408
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: times what happens during that time you actually focus a

409
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: little more. You concentrate more knowing that, you know what,

410
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: I just don't feel the best today, and you just

411
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: kind of focus. You know, a lot a lot of

412
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: that happens when you're say you have a head cold

413
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: or you're sick, going out there practicing and you don't

414
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: feel good, but you focus a little harder, knowing that

415
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: you don't feel the best and that you you know

416
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: you your eyes are running and you know your nose

417
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: is stuffed up and things like that. But you go

418
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: out there and you figure it out and you find

419
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: a way to play hard that day and get through

420
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: that day. And then you say, Okay, I've got through

421
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: this day. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. Hopefully my

422
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: body feels better tomorrow. Hopefully I'm not as sore. My

423
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: quad's not sore, my hamstring's not sore, and we'll see

424
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: how we get through that day. And you take it

425
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: day by day, and that's what they talk about. Let's

426
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: win the day. Let's just take care of this one

427
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: day here and see how we feel, and let's get

428
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: through this day and not just get through it just

429
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: to be getting through it, but let's get something out

430
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: of this day. Let's get some type of benefit out

431
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: of this day by going work. And it's just you

432
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: have to have the mental toughness to just fight through it.

433
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that you know, we all

434
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: go through. Everyone has a bad day, right, but not

435
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: everyone goes through it with millions of dollars on the

436
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: line and millions of people watching. So a little bit different.

437
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: A little bit different in that way where there's a

438
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: lot of people depending on you out there in the

439
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: football field and there are a lot of people watching

440
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: and you can't hide.

441
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the defense here, Bill, The Colts first

442
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: team defense just dominated, like as well they should, right

443
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: going against the Bengals second third stringers. You know, since

444
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: he didn't even play Jake Browning their backup to Joe

445
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: Burrow in this game, it was Logan Woodside who's out

446
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: there for almost the entire game. And what that defensive

447
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: line was, they're either they're eaten, and again that's what

448
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: you would expect. The first third down of the game

449
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: where DeForest Buckner pushes the interior of the pocket and

450
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: layout to Latu Wins on the outside and Logan Woodside

451
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: is nowhere to go. It ends up being a sack

452
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: for lat To. But I saw that and I was

453
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: just like, man, that if that's what it's going to

454
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: look like in the regular season with those two guys

455
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: next to each other. That's sort of your your like

456
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: pass rushing ideal scenario where the quarterback can't step up

457
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: and he can't escape the pocket because you've got a

458
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: detackle pushing the interior and a guy screaming off the edge.

459
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go as a quarterback and you're either

460
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: going to take a sack or you're going to force

461
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: something that could lead Zire Franklin, EJ. Speed, Kennymore the

462
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: second to force a turnover, like only bad stuff happens

463
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: for the offense in those situations.

464
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: Yes, and that was I call it. That was a

465
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: nice preview from what the defense can do. You have

466
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 2: Buckman pushing up, pushing him in the pocket, putting pressure

467
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: on the quarterback, a lot two coming on the outside

468
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: there and a lot too getting the sack, and I

469
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: mean that's what you want to see from the defense.

470
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: Defense played extremely well first series three and out, I

471
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: think the second series that had maybe five plays I

472
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: think in the second series, and then after third series

473
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: three and out again. So give that first unit a

474
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: lot of credit and they played well what you expected

475
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: from them going up against the second team of the Bengals.

476
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: But regardless of who they were going up against They

477
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: did what they were supposed to do when they were

478
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: out there, and they played hard, and you saw the

479
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: excitement for a lot too. And that's a young man.

480
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to enjoy watching him play. Just

481
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: the energy he has and the fun he has out there, that's,

482
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: to me, is what football is all about. He's like

483
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: a little kid in the backyard twelve years old, playing

484
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: with his buddies, just having the best time of his

485
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: life out there and playing football. And that's what you

486
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: like to see from young guys out there playing. And

487
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: give him credit, he's not only playing like his little kid,

488
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: but he's also playing like a professional, meaning that the

489
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: man has a lot, a lot of moves out there

490
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: in the football field. He's very gifted using his hands,

491
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: getting around the corner, being fast, and he's versatile. Put

492
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: him down there on the outside, and I think he's

493
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: learning as he's going along from these veterans how to

494
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: play and how to get ready for a game. And

495
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: as we said last week, he's taking it from the

496
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: practice field putting it on game tape. And that's what

497
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: you'd like to see from young guys. And I love

498
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: his energy, I love his enthusiasm. Out there in the

499
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: football field and another guy that I think is a

500
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: great teammate, which is so important on teams when you

501
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: have guys that are great teammates, good in the locker room,

502
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: and guys really want to be around those guys. And

503
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: a lot too, is one of those guys that the

504
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: guys like being around.

505
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes Bill, a young player will start off

506
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: training camp real hot and then we'll kind of fade

507
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: as it goes on. The days get long and you're

508
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: working a lot, and it's getting harder and harder and harder.

509
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: You haven't seen any of that from Layatu Latu, none

510
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: of it. I mean he he has consistently stacked days

511
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: throughout this preseason. And you know, it's August twenty third

512
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: when we're recording this right now. The Colts reported a

513
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: training camp almost exactly a month ago. I don't think

514
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: if you, I don't think you could have envisioned a

515
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: better training camp in preseason for Layatu Latu than the

516
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: one that he has had, where it's just been consistent,

517
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: and like you said, Bill, it's been on and off

518
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: the field. It hasn't just been he's making plays on

519
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: the field. His attitude is great It is so refreshing

520
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: to see a guy who just loves football as much

521
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: as Layatu Latu loves football. It's been a tremendous camp

522
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: for him. It was really cool to see him kind

523
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: of finish with a flourish with that sack against Cincinnati.

524
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: And boy does he look ready for Week one against

525
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Houston and what is that sixteen days.

526
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Something like that. Yeah, but he looks ready to get

527
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: going on for the regular season. And you know, but

528
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: I hope he keeps that enthusiasm, which I don't see

529
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: why he wouldn't throughout the whole season. Now, it is

530
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: a long season for a rookie coming in because he's

531
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: going to be playing a lot more games in the

532
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: regular season than he's ever played in the regular season.

533
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a long season. I know

534
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: if he talks to the veteran guys, they will help

535
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: him to manage that. I'll manage his time, manage his energy,

536
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: manage how he takes care of himself off the field,

537
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: so he can play a full season. So I'm looking

538
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: forward to the young man playing. I'm looking forward to

539
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: him making big plays, especially getting some pressure on the

540
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: quarterback and hopefully against Houston. We'll see a lot of

541
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: that him doing what he just did with the night

542
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati.

543
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zira Franklin actually talked about that in the locker

544
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: room after the game, that he went up and had

545
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: a little talk a lot to being like, this is

546
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: about to be the longest season of football you've ever played.

547
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: We're going to get to November and you're going to

548
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: be like, man, we're still playing and he's like, yep,

549
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: got a lot more season to go. And everyone goes

550
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: through it. But the early returns could not have been

551
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: more encouraging in the preseason for layatu La too. So

552
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: let's go one last thing in the defense here. Safety

553
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: looks maybe settled. I mean, I'm not ready to say

554
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: that it's definitely gonna be Julian Blackman at strong safety

555
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: and Nick Cross at free safety. I'm not ready to

556
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: say that just yet. But that pencil is getting a

557
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: little bit darker, if that makes sense. Like last week

558
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: he was starting to write it in pencil a little bit,

559
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: and now this week it's like we're getting close to

560
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: penn But I'm not totally there yet, just because we've

561
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: seen Nick Cross play different positions and it could always

562
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: flip when you get in the regular season. But every

563
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: snap I believe that Nick Cross took with Julian Blackman

564
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: on the field was at free safety on Thursday, and

565
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there are gonna be some two safety

566
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: looks or you're rotating. But any play, whether it was

567
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: like a designated strong and a free, it was Blackman

568
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: at the strong and Cross at the free safety spot.

569
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: Yeah right now, as you said, it looks looks like

570
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: that might be the combination out there in the football field.

571
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: But I feel good either way. If those two guys

572
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: are out there, they can switch. I mean during a play, yes,

573
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: this team is doing emotion, or they shift a tight

574
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: end from one side of the field to the other

575
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: to declare the strength on the other side of the field.

576
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 2: They you know, they can switch, they can rotate down

577
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: or whatever. Because both of them played free and both

578
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: of them played strong. So that's what you like. And

579
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: I think when you have that versatility, it makes it

580
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: easier on the coach is because you don't have to

581
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: worry about saying, Okay, we can't call this defense because

582
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: if they play this, I don't want player A down

583
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: in the box. I want player B down in the box.

584
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: But if we call this defense, we're not gonna be

585
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: able to get to that. And this other guy doesn't

586
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 2: play down the box that well, you don't have that

587
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: with these two guys. You have both of the guys

588
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: that can play both strong and free and that is good.

589
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: So right now it looks like it that's what's going

590
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: to be. And giving it a cross credit, you know,

591
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: he's played well. He's done his job. He's went out there,

592
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: made plays, been physical, tackling guys, breaking up passes when

593
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: he can. So I like what I've seen from Nick

594
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: and Jillian's and I hate to say it this way,

595
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Jillian is Jillian. He's just been playing well. I mean,

596
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: you know, he's been playing well all training camp, all

597
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: the times he's been in the game. So you know,

598
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm not taking anything away from Jillian, but he's just

599
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: doing what we expect of him, and he's been making

600
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: big plays in camp. You know, he's probably one of

601
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: the top defensive players uh this training camp to me

602
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: as far as making plays out there.

603
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that. A couple other just quick observations here, Bill.

604
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: This this goes back to something we talked about last

605
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: week with the backup offensive lineman. I thought it was

606
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: interesting that Matt Gonzalez played left tackle in this game

607
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: and Dalton Tucker played left guard. Both those guys exclusively

608
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: played on the right side last week against Arizona. You

609
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: saw Blake Freeland flip over to right tackle, So you're

610
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: just getting these guys a little bit more experience on

611
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: different sides of the line. I thought Mackenzoalbez did some

612
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: really good things in the run game from the right side,

613
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: same with Dalton Tucker over there. But I also thought

614
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: Blake Freeland had a pretty good game on the right

615
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: side of that offensive line. So just you know, you're

616
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: working on some flexibility there. I think all three of

617
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: those guys our depth pieces for this team. And it

618
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: you know also with Tanner Borderalini in there, so you

619
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have some young depth on that offensive line,

620
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: but nothing that it looks like those guys can't handle

621
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: right now, whether they're playing on the right side, the

622
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: left side, wherever it may be.

623
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you want those guys to get some experience

624
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball because you know, during

625
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: the season, you never know what's going to happen. You know,

626
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: a guy who plays on the right side of the

627
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: whole time and they need someone to step in the

628
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: left side. It might be a big adjustment for that

629
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: person to make that switch from the right left, especially

630
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: in the middle of the game, because a lot of

631
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: times in the middle of a game, unfortunately, you get

632
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: guys banged up and they might come out for a series,

633
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: that might come out for a couple of series. You

634
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: need someone to go in there. You don't want to

635
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: have that big of a drop off when those guys

636
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: get in there. So it's good that these guys get

637
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: an opportunity to play both sides so they're ready to

638
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: go in the regular season. And I like how the

639
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: coaches handle it during preseason and they get the guys

640
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: work on both sides. The guys they think that, you

641
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: know what, they might have to step in there. They

642
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: might be backup guys, and we want these backup guys

643
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: to be ready to play left guard, right guard, right tackle,

644
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: left tackle, and those guys, it's nice to see those

645
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: guys switch and play the other side. Last week, I

646
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: mean not last week, last night against Cincinnati. So the guys,

647
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, they should be ready and it's good and

648
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: it's good to see those guys, because Gonzalez is a

649
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: big gentleman and he can move some people. Especially in

650
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: the run game, he can move some people. It's nice

651
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: to see him blocking out there. And give Tucker credit. Tucker,

652
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: you know, to me, he's just spend one of those

653
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: guys that they say, I'm here to play, just put

654
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: me anywhere I want to play. And he has that

655
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: attitude that I'm just gonna go out there and do

656
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: the best I can, and you know, we'll see what

657
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: happens after that. And he's done a nice job thus

658
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: far this preseason from what I've seen.

659
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: All Right, well that is going to do it for

660
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: us on this episode of Instant Reaction here in the

661
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: Colts Audio networking on the Colts YouTube page. The next

662
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: time Bill Brooks and I come to you, we're gonna

663
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: be talking about a game that actually matters, Thank goodness.

664
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: September eighth against Houston. Bill and I will have a

665
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: new episode of Instant Reaction out that night. No, it's

666
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: a long way away, but well, I can't wait for

667
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: that day, Bill. I cannot wait for one o'clock Sunday,

668
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: September eighth, when the Houston Texans and Colts kick off

669
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Staium. That's going to be an electric atmosphere.

670
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: We're almost there, a little bit more to go.

671
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: That's why I said this was the last preseason this

672
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: last preseason game. I think most players and former players

673
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: understand that it's it's on time. The game is on

674
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: now as far as the regular season start, and this

675
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: is what everyone's looking forward to, and let's get this

676
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: party started.

677
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: A little bit more to get to before that, of course,

678
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have plenty here on the Colts Audio Network
