Speaker 1: We're talking Colts and recapping the action.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Ten to five, but touchdown for the Colts. How fout

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: an India Apple's cars on a.

Speaker 3: You're running the other way.

00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Look at inside the thirty yard line and it's Seck Winnard.

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Now here's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor from

Speaker 2: Energygroup dot com. We're on a little bit earlier than

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: normal tonight. Pacer pregame begins at six thirty this evening

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: seven o'clock tip off against the Hawks in the preseason,

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: so we're going a little bit earlier. Coming up on

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: segment one, will be joined in a little bit by

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: head coach Shane Steichen, and then Rick Vincury and Joe

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: Wrights our schedule to join b per usual for the

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: remainder of the hour. For the ninth consecutive time, the

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: Colts fell to the Jaguars as the visiting team in

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: the series. The Colts fell yesterday thirty seven to twenty

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville in a game that was decided by turnovers.

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: The Colts turned it over four times, which is the

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: highest turnover total for the Colts that they've ever suffered

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: in a game against the Jaguars in club history. The

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: game started off well for the Colts. They took an

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 2: early three to zero lead after a sixteen play opening drive,

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: but the Jaguars answered back with a long opening score

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: of their own that resulted into a touchdown, so it

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: was seven to three, and then everything changed on the

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: next couple of plays. On first down on the next series,

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew was strip sacked and the Jags recovered on

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: the Colts twenty two yard line. One play after that,

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: running back Travis Etn scored on a wildcat run around

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: the right side for a touchdown and the Jags or

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in a span of sixteen seconds. The Colts

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: would go on to be outscored twenty one to three

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: in the second quarter and trail at the half twenty

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: one to six, and once the Colts got down big,

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: they had to rely on that passing game more than

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: they wanted to. Gardner Minshew set career high marks and

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: completions with thirty three and attempts with fifty five, and

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: the former Jaguar quarterback was never able to fully settle

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: in after the Colts got down multiple scores. He threw

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: a career high three interceptions, had four turnovers in the game.

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: He had picks in the second, third, and fourth quarters.

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: All three were intended for Michael Pittman, Junior, including the

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: final interception in the end zone of the fourth quarter.

55
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: The running game for the Colts that never took off either.

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor and Zach Moss combined for just forty yards

57
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: on fifteen carries and an average of two point six a.

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: Jaguars won the game by seventeen points, which is the

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: amount of points they cashed in off of Colts turnovers

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: in the game, and without those takeaways, the Jags had

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: a relatively quiet day on offense, the Colts held Jacksonville

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: to a season low and total net yards and passing yards.

63
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: They also averaged only three point eight yards per play

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: and we're four for thirteen on third down and the

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Colts sack Trevor Lawrence three times and an interception by

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: rookie cornerback ju Ju Brents, the first of his career,

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: was just the third thrown by Trevor Lawrence this season.

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: But again it was all about turnovers. The Colts turn

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: it over and combined seven times to the Jaguars and

70
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: two meetings this season. As Jacksonville swept the Colts for

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty seventeen, a Jaguars takeover sole

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: possession of first place in the AFC South and the

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Colts fall back to three and three and two and

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: two in AFC South play on the season, and now

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: they get ready for back to back home games, starting

76
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. All right, coming up

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: on segment two. As we said, we'll be joined by

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: Colts analyst Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights, and throughout the

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: show tonight, we're always answering your questions on social media,

80
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: sending those in as always using hashtag Colts Roundtable. And

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: with that, it's time to lead off the show. Our

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: weekly chat with head coach Shane Steichen is brought to

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: you by Citizens Energy Group and Coach. I know, it

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: was a really disappointing day all around in Jacksonville. Both

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: team scored on their first drive of the game. It

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: was seven to three in favor of the Jaguars. But then,

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: like I said, everything changed with that strip sack on

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: the first play of the second drive that was recovered

89
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: by the Jags. One play after that they go on

90
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: and score a touchdown. So two touchdowns and a blink

91
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: of an eye there in the second quarter. How much

92
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: did that play and that sequence kind of set the

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: course for the rest of the afternoon.

94
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: Well, I think we tried to continue to play our game,

95
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: you know, offensively and defensively, and then you know we had,

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: you know, had another turnover there again, you know, to

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: go down twenty one.

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 5: They scored twenty one off that. But again, we we got.

99
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: To keep fighting and maintaining you know, consistency on the

100
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: office side of the ball.

101
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 5: And it really comes down to taking care of the football.

102
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: That's what this league is. You win the turnover battle

103
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: usually win the game. And when you you know.

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: Have four turnovers, it's gonna be tough to win in

105
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 4: this league. So we got to do a good job

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: of stressing and maintaining ball security each and every week.

107
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: And once you got down by multiple scores in that game,

108
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: how tough was it to stick with the running game

109
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: or at least incorporate that into the offense yesterday?

110
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously when you get into the second

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: half there, you know, the possessions are shrinking a little

112
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: bit and you got to go score points. And so,

113
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: you know, fifty five pass attempts. Obviously you don't want

114
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: to throw at fifty five times. That's not a good

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: formula to win football games. But you know, we kept

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: fighting and scratching and you know, tried to get back

117
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 4: in that thing there at the end, and our defense

118
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: was doing a good job in the second half holding them,

119
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: but we got to keep fighting.

120
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Gardner minshew very very well. I mean,

121
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: the turnovers, the interceptions very uncharacteristic of his style play.

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: What do you see on those plays? I guess individually?

123
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Were they just a typical throws or difficult reads for

124
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: him on those plays?

125
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, just the little things were off, you know.

126
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: And again it starts with coaches too, you know myself,

127
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: you know, it starts with myself. We all got to

128
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: be better, right, we all got to be better and

129
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: doing a better job and and executing at a higher level.

130
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 4: And that's how we got, you know, hold each other

131
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: accountable and get better and learn from it.

132
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: At Shane Sticky with us. This is Cults Roundtable Live

133
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: tonight on ninety three five and one oh seven five

134
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: of the Fan Again. I know you were asked this

135
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: question earlier today with the media, but just for this

136
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: audience here, any update on Anthony Richardson and his timeline,

137
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: any update on whether or not he might need you know,

138
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: further medical attention if you will.

139
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're still evaluating that.

140
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: We want to make the best decision for him, you know,

141
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: personally and obviously this you know, the franchise short term

142
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: and long term. So we're still evaluating that process and

143
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: we'll make that decision when the time's made.

144
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: All right.

145
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Last one for me again, I know that game stings.

146
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 2: It stings in terms of the standings too. First place

147
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: was on the line right now. The Jaguars hold that tiebreaker.

148
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: But as you said off the area. Right, there's still

149
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: eleven games to go. Shoot your three and three and

150
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: there's still plenty of football here. But what was your

151
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: message to the guys after the game, after a game

152
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: like that that that did hold some weight to it?

153
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it does sting anytime you lose a division game.

154
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: Those are big, but you know a lot of football

155
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: left ahead of us. You know, still sit you know,

156
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: send it three three with eleven left and all the

157
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: matters this week is you know, Cleveland coming into Lucas

158
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: Oil and getting that win and a lot of football up.

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: Everything we want. You know that our goals are, they're

160
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: out in front of us. We got to go execute them.

161
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, let's go to the mail back here.

162
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 2: Use the hashtag Colts Round Table to submit your questions

163
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: tonight and every Monday night. For head coach Shane Steichen,

164
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: let's get right after it. Ryan coaches up first. He's asking,

165
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: it's tough for me as a fan to know where

166
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: we stack up against the Jags because we kind of

167
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: beat ourselves too often in those two games against them.

168
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Do you feel the same way?

169
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously, anytime you lose in this league, you know,

170
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: you look back at it, and you know, execution's got

171
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: to be at a premium. You know when you're playing

172
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: a good football team. Jacksonville's a good football team, and

173
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: you know, we got to take care of the football.

174
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: You look back at those games, there were mistakes that

175
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: we can control, and so we got to do a

176
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: better job in those situations, you know, controlling those mistakes

177
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: and executing.

178
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Corey is up next. How do you think our

179
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: running game will continue to adjust with Jonathan Taylor's involvement

180
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: going up on a weekly basis.

181
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I feel good about our running game obviously.

182
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: You know, yesterday wasn't our best performance. We were throwing

183
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: it a lot more in that game. But I feel

184
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: good with our offensive line and JT, you know, getting

185
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: back in the fold and Zach and the offensive line

186
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: the way they're playing right now.

187
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: Feel good about it moving forward.

188
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: All right, Dan, I think again, you were asked this

189
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: question today with the media, But Dan is asking what

190
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: was our approach at the beginning of the game in

191
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: the passing game. Were we trying to make the Jags

192
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: defense change by throwing them out of their base defense

193
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: through the air.

194
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit. You know, we had some looks

195
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: on tape, you know that we got. Obviously, Gardner was

196
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: really efficient in that first drive, just taking the completions.

197
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: I think we had fifteen plays there and fourteen of

198
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: our passes. We had the third and one run, But

199
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: good efficiency throwing the ball on that first drive, you know,

200
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 4: which took a lot of time off the clock, and

201
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: you know, obviously we want to finish with a touchdown

202
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,359
Speaker 4: there instead.

203
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: Of the shirticle.

204
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: All right, Aaron is up next. Were you happy with

205
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: the overall play of the defense on Sunday? That group

206
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: was put into some bad spots due to turnovers, but

207
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: overall they held They're into the bargain.

208
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they sure did.

209
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 4: I think they hold them about what two hundred and

210
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: thirty yards total offense, which was impressive. Yeah, you know,

211
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: and obviously, you know, putting them in those tough situations

212
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: with the turnovers. I think they scored you know, seventeen

213
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: off turnovers, putting them in those tough situations. But those

214
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: guys were fighting and scratching till the end and got

215
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: some good three and outs there, definitely in that second half,

216
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: which was huge.

217
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 6: All right.

218
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: Last one from Richard. Richard is asking with teams knowing

219
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: that they'll see Gardner Minshew at quarterback all week long

220
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: in practice. What do you have to do to get

221
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: a schematical edge to maximize his skill set?

222
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: I think we just got to look at our opponents,

223
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: you know, what they're doing defensively, and put him in

224
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: the best situation to succeed along with you know, all

225
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: the other eleven guys on offense, and just making sure

226
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 4: we're executing at a high level is going to be

227
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 4: the big thing. And taking the completions when they're there,

228
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: and we got to run the ball efficiently as.

229
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: Well, no doubt about that.

230
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: All right.

231
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: The Browns are up next. Certainly they've got one of

232
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: the best defenses here at the National Football League. What

233
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: do you make of them? I know it's early in

234
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: the week here, but just a challenge day post coming

235
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: off a huge upset win over the forty nine ers

236
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: on you.

237
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, just really starting to dive into those guys a

238
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 4: little bit this morning and then tonight and tomorrow will

239
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 4: be you know, big time game planning versus those guys.

240
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: But they're playing at a high level right now. I think, Shoot,

241
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 4: I saw somewhere where they've only given up just over

242
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: a thousand yards in their first couple of games.

243
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 5: You know, so wow. You know, Miles.

244
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: Garrett is a heck of a football player. They're playing

245
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: at a high level. You can see they're running around,

246
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: they're flying around, they're making play. So it'll be a

247
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: heck of a challenge for us, and we got to

248
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: do a great job of game planning and having a

249
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: great week of preparation.

250
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,120

Speaker 2: How are you, sir?

292
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 6: Doing well? Matt? It was not a great performance yesterday afternoon.

293
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: But this is when you really got to hone into

294
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 6: that twenty four hour rule. It's never as good as

295
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 6: you think, it's never as bad as you think. And

296
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: as bad as that was overall for the Colts Division game,

297
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 6: chance to get the tiebreaker back with Jacksonville being top,

298
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 6: we have some very winnable games coming up, and we

299
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: got to refocus and it's all in full speed ahead

300
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 6: on when that's all that matters right now.

301
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: Only one win, only one loss the last couple of

302
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: games for the Indianapolis Colts. That's exactly right, and well

303
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: said right there, Rick, how you doing on a Monday night?

304
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: How are you?

305
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: And I'm doing? You know, I'm doing well. Always after

306
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: I get that night's sleep, after the road trip, the

307
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 3: old man feels better. I feel better today. I got

308
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: a little bit of juice going, you know. And the

309
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: good news is you just said it. The good news

310
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: is the loss is bitter. It's tough, but it's really

311
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: only one a lot of football left to play. So

312
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: you get right back in the saddle and you look ahead.

313
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: All right, Rick and Joe, those guys have both watched

314
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: the game film from yesterday's loss in Jacksonville. With that,

315
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: it's time now for the Tale of the Tape, Baby

316
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: Rays and hell today, Okay, it go well.

317
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 5: Bang bang playing bang bang.

318
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Keep the hammer down, all right, keep talking to one

319
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: another man to clean it up. That's all.

320
00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: Get ready, get ready, Tale of the Tape time, Joe.

321
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: Let's start with you the Colts. They had four turnovers,

322
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: a sluggish running game. They had a boat load of

323
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: pass attempts from Gardner Minshew, in fact, fifty five of them.

324
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: You had some baptism by fire going on in the secondary. Joe,

325
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: what were your big takeaways on your tail of the tape.

326
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: Watching that game a day later here on a.

327
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: Monday, Yeah, I think you met you hit on it

328
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: with the four turnovers. You look at just the stats.

329
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 6: We had more first downs, we won time to possession,

330
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 6: We out gained them by one hundred and twenty yards,

331
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 6: and you're thinking, what happened with this score? It's four turnovers,

332
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 6: And you know, it's interesting. We have eight turnovers on

333
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: the season. Seven of the eight are against Jacksonville. And

334
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 6: you know, there were a couple interceptions too that were dropped.

335
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 6: They had one that was off sides, and so bottom line,

336
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: you can't be minus three, especially on the road, and

337
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 6: expect to win the game. But I really thought we

338
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 6: came out with some fire. We came out on a

339
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: really nice drive, but then it was three plays of death.

340
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: They score fumble, the next play, etn rips it down

341
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 6: the right side, and I mean the game was essentially

342
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 6: over at fourteen to three. We were battling back and

343
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 6: then we had that nice drive and through an interception

344
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 6: that got dropped, and the next play we threw another interception.

345
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 6: So bottom line, you cannot turn the ball over. But

346
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 6: I think when I watched the tape from a schematic

347
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: standpoint and the football x's and o's one. I think

348
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 6: really with this team now and with Minshew leading the helm,

349
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 6: we have to be a little bit more of a

350
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 6: Tennessee Titans approach, meaningan we're a completely different team when

351
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 6: we have the lead and he's in control of them

352
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 6: with Richardson, and that's because we just don't have the

353
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: explosive playability with Richardson's legs and also that threat of

354
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 6: his legs. You go back last week that fifty five

355
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 6: run by Moss, The reason that happens is because they

356
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 6: got two guys that are keen on Richardson for the

357
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: zone read him going around the end. And now with

358
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: that threat not being there, Jacksonville just kept getting tighter.

359
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 6: They started playing faster against us. So I think we

360
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 6: really have to think from a playing with the lead type,

361
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 6: it's really going to be important for this team too.

362
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 6: I think the running game, we got to figure out

363
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 6: how to run the ball and make sure we're going

364
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: to run it against loaded boxes, more safeties coming down,

365
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: backers hitting downhill fast because they don't have that threat

366
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 6: of Richardson. And then two, I think you mentioned it,

367
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 6: the lack of experience in the secondary showed up a

368
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: little bit on that touchdown run. We got a little confused,

369
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 6: looked like we were playing cover three, and Brent's kind

370
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: of sat on that, you know, inside hitch out a

371
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: little too quick. All of a sudden, they get loose

372
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 6: for thirty down the sideline. So a lot of things

373
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 6: that the cults will correct today. And I don't think

374
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 6: it's a time to freak out, but I do think

375
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 6: the lack of offensive explosiveness now that we're not gonna

376
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 6: have Richardson for an undetermined amount of time, and maybe

377
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: a little bit the lack of explosiveness we have at

378
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: the wide receiver position, we just got to think a

379
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 6: little bit more about being able to really grind out

380
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 6: some of these games offensively and defensively.

381
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, you know, I really thought it was

382
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: a really disappointing performance. This was a pivotal match, you know,

383
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: huge divisional showdown. Maybe we put the cart before for

384
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: the horse with this team right now, you know, And

385
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: I think that the overall statistics are totally distorted. When

386
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: the game was in the balance in the first half,

387
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: the more talented and frankly the better prepared team dominated

388
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: and that was the Jaguars. I mean, they came out.

389
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: You know, their quarterback had one hundred and twenty four rating.

390
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: He was eleven for fourteen to seventy nine percent in

391
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: the first half and a touchdown ETN in the first

392
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: half was four point seven a rush one TV twenty

393
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: two yard explosive. You know, they consistently got the edge,

394
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 3: which was my number one must. By the time we

395
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: stopped at the game was over. You know, they created

396
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: confusion with the Wildcats. We had with the Wildcats, we

397
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: had no we had no you know, no no clue

398
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: at all what was happening there. You know, they pretty

399
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: much have our defense figured out. I mean, they know

400
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: how to get on the edge and really you know,

401
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: and it was all said and done, statistics or not.

402
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: They had a commanding thirty one to six lead after

403
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: three quarters. And then defensively, you know, after we had

404
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: the nine minute opening drive which looked good and looked sharp,

405
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: they toughened up there in the red zone and took

406
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: over and without AR five. You know, they predictably, just

407
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: as I thought, they stayed with their heavy bar front.

408
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: They stopped the run cold. We looked like last year's

409
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: two point six and where they adjusted after that first

410
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: drive is they were playing a lot of five man bear,

411
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: but they were playing it with a fire zone coverage underneath,

412
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: and we were taking advantage of it. And they went

413
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: to what to me is the nightmare scenario against against Minshew.

414
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: They went to more Manda man press and then they

415
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: went to tight match coverage underneath and they choked off

416
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: his strength, you know, and then add to that they

417
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: brought a lot of inside pressure to get him off

418
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: the spot. You know, the two first half turnover gave

419
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: them the more and the momentum. Obviously Alan killed it

420
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: with a with a strip off the right edge, but

421
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: really more than even Riman on that that started because

422
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: at that point now they went to manda man coverage

423
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: and you'll see it all day long, and this is

424
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: a real issue. The Colts could get no separation and

425
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: they forced Minshew to hold it. And once Minshew has

426
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: to hold it, then Alan ran the hoop and he

427
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: came back down and he got him. And then you know,

428
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: the second the second quarter pick, you know, began the

429
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: first of three and lucky not to have six. Really,

430
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, they again, I think the Jaguars played the

431
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: Colt's nightmare scenario with Minshew take away, the run with Bear,

432
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: take away, the denk and dunk passing game with pressman

433
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: and tight match, and then it's tough sledding from there.

434
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: You know, even though there were the early players, I

435
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 3: thought the real kill sequence was this. I thought in

436
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 3: the second quarter when it was fourteen to three, but

437
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: we got the big played to Jonathan. Remember we got

438
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 3: the forty yard drub route and he gets down there

439
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: and we're knocking at the door and then we throw

440
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: a special delivery pick to to you know, to Cisco.

441
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: It was a terrible looking route. I don't know what happened.

442
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: I think Downs maybe was supposed to clear it for eleven,

443
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 3: but they're sitting right on top of one another. Cisco

444
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: gets it, he overthrows it, they get it back to midfield,

445
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: then they drive it and we have another blown coverage,

446
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, by our rookie corner. And I'll get into

447
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: that later. And instead of at that point a possible

448
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: fourteen to ten game right back in get yourself together,

449
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: it goes twenty one to three and then you're waxed

450
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: again in Jacksonville. So, you know, the third quarter, I

451
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: thought the Coats looked disorganized on defense. We weren't sure

452
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: the personnel on night on the nineteen yard run, and

453
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: then Strange had to walk in you know, reception, which

454
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: was you know, kind of demoralizing, so you know, and

455
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: then you know, to add to it just to make

456
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: sure that all three phases got involved. When we did

457
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: kind of close back into two possessions, then Agnew took

458
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: the return and twisted the dagger. So you know, I

459
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: came out of there, and I think even more so

460
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: today looking at the film. You know, during the game,

461
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm emotional like anybody that's there, you know, and I'll

462
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: have my highs and lows. And then my analyst had

463
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: goes on today, is you know, when we have AR,

464
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: when we have AR five, Okay, he is a force

465
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: multiplier and he is somewhat of an equalizer in this

466
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: game because he neutralizes the bear on the edge, and

467
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: he neutralizes a lot of man coverage and match coverage

468
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: because you're afraid of it with him and his legs.

469
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: And so when he's there, you know, I think we're

470
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: close with them back because we talked about this afterwards.

471
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 3: But when he's not there, when we go back to

472
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: a normal, normal, quarterback in that situation, then I think

473
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: the gap is still huge like it was a year ago.

474
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: That's Rick Ventury and that's his Tale of the tape.

475
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: We're also joined by Joe Wrights tonight here on segment

476

Speaker 2: we're coming back with a segment called what's my line

483
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: and what do you say now about the Colts and

484
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: their trajectory if you will? After a three to three

485
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: record to start the season and more games on the

486
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: horizon here without Anthony Richardson in the lineup, that's all

Speaker 1: Game.

503
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: We're with you a little bit earlier than normal. We're

504
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: off the air here at six thirty four Pacer pregame

505
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 2: in the preseason. It's time now for a segment we're

506
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: calling What's My Line? Right, you guys remember that old

507
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: game show What's My Line? I think it was. Didn't

508
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: it start like in the late forties fifties? Rick, I

509
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: mean you were watching that Bad Boy a long time ago.

510
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: I actually did, and it actually did, and they'd have

511
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: like a full they'd have it.

512
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: It was always a celebrity guest, right.

513
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, celebrity guest and you'd have all these famous panelists

514
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 3: and they'd have eye patches, they have yeah, I goggle,

515
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: and then they would try to figure out who was who,

516
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: you know, and and if they could guess, and you know,

517
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: they would guess and whether this guy was who he

518
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: was and everything, and yeah, of course I'm old enough.

519
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: It was the days of black and white TV. It

520
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: was the only thing you could watch on a Sunday, NIKEI.

521
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: It was a good show, It really was. So this

522
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: this segment's kind of loosely based on that. I'm not

523
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: sure if we're gonna capture the spirit of the show,

524
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: but we're gonna we're gonna try and figure out some

525
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: yes or no questions here on the Colts. So stay

526
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: right there, fellas. Let's talk about the turnovers. The Colt

527
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: suffered four of them on Sunday, career high three picks

528
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: from Gardner Minshew. Those giveaways led to seventeen points for

529
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: the Jags, and as you said back in segment number one,

530
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: Joe Minshew hadn't suffered a turnover, and his first five appearances,

531
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: including being the starter in Week three and that win

532
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: against the Baltimore Ravens, his lifetime interception percentage I should

533
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: say is just one point five percent going into Sunday's game,

534
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: which is a really good number, which makes Sunday's game

535
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: and those three picks kind of an outlier. So and

536
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: two losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts suffered seven

537
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: of their eight turnovers. Joe, it's time now for this

538
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: is my what's my line to you the yes or

539
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: no question here on the panelist? Are you concerned about

540
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: the offense, Joe? If Minshew has to shoulder the workload

541
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: like he did Sunday when the Colts got down early.

542
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: I know they got down early, but if you look

543
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: at at two starts this year for Minshew Week three

544
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: against the Ravens and then yesterday against the Jaguars, Joe,

545
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: the Colts in those two games with Minshew at the

546
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: helm starting, they're averaging forty nine pass attempts in those games.

547
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: Are you concerned about that going forward?

548
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: Joe?

549
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: With Minshew orchestrating this offense, I.

550
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 6: Would say not concerned, but it's just a different vibe.

551
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 6: You mentioned those pass attempts. The reason is our running

552
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 6: game hasn't been going as much, and coach mentioned it.

553
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 6: When you don't have the threat of AR five. Their defenses,

554
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 6: they don't have to worry about nearly the same amount

555
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 6: of items. And you even think the three games that

556
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 6: Minshew's came in and backup duty and played, well, We'll

557
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 6: think all week they're preparing for AR five and all

558
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 6: of a sudden, you have to switch your game plan

559
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: on a dime. And that's just a little bit different

560
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: than Jacksonville having the full week of preparation to know,

561
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 6: we just have to have a plan of attech for Minshew.

562
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 6: So we got to figure out a way to be

563
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 6: more constructive running the football knowing we don't have the

564
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 6: threat of Richardson with his legs. And I always think turnovers,

565
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 6: Matt to me come down to three, three areas one

566
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 6: time and score. So if you're down in the game

567
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 6: and you're down thirty one to six, obviously you got

568
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: to press a little bit more. Leads to more potential

569
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 6: for turnovers. I think two poor decisions on offense, and

570
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 6: I thought we had some of those. You know, that

571
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 6: pick we had down in our red zone as fourteen

572
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 6: to three looked like we had two receivers in the

573
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 6: same area. We weren't quite on the same page. And

574
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 6: then three special plays by the defense. And I think

575
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 6: as much as we want to talk about the Colts

576
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 6: and being self inflicted wounds, Jacksonville just make some really

577
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 6: good plays. They have some special defenders. And I thought, overall, Matt,

578
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 6: when I watched the game this morning, the speed of

579
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 6: the game in which Jacksonville played was faster than us,

580
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 6: and it started out close to even, and Jacksonville kept

581
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 6: playing faster and faster, more aggressive, more intensity. We weren't

582
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 6: able to match just the speed of the game in

583
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 6: which they played. So I think those are the three

584
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 6: reasons combined we had four turnovers. But I do think

585
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 6: the biggest thing is figuring out a way we can

586
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 6: play the game and we can continue to run the

587
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 6: ball effectively and call more than fourteen or fifteen runs

588
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: in a game. Sure, because we're gonna have to do

589
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 6: that with Minshew at the helm and with our lack

590
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 6: of explosiveness we have at the wide receiver position.

591
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: All right, Then, within that topic, what's my line number

592
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: two here? Yes or no? Rick Van Turrey with Richardson

593
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 2: out that running game, it's going to fall more on

594
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: the running backs. We know that, but do you expect

595
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: to see more pressure on Minshew from defenses throughout the

596
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: season to force him into off balance throws and make

597
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: him push the ball down the field more like the

598
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: Jaguars did on Sunday.

599
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I mean they teams are going to pray

600
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: to get us into a fifty five throw game. I mean,

601
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 3: because you know I've said it all along and right

602
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: from training camp. Minshew is a context quarterback if he

603
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 3: plays against a certain type scheme, like if he played

604
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 3: against us, if he played against ourselves, he'd have a

605
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: real high percentage because we're an area zone team. But

606
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: otherwise it's different. Now, I totally agree with Joe on this.

607
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 3: I mean, and Joe used a good analogy when he

608
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: said we have to be a little bit more Tennessee like,

609
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: and I totally believe that because really our game changers

610
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: are Taylor and Moss. I mean, the two best players

611
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: on offense without AR five are Taylor and Moss. And

612
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: so we cannot sit there and think we're gonna be

613
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: air Coriel. Now, we can start a game off like

614
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: we did, and if we have a team that's playing

615
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: soft zone, boom boom, that's a quick way to get started.

616
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: But that's not sustainable. We have to now get to

617
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: where we can pry open to bear. Well, I was

618
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: really disappointed because I've seen us run some schemes, some

619
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: down block schemes that look pretty good that are designed

620
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: for bear defense, but we didn't run any of them.

621
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: Sunday we went back to all zone runs and the

622
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: bear defense without a quarterback to get outside, the bear

623
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: defense will kill zones. I would play bear all day long,

624
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: and you ain't gonna get a yard because I've got

625
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: you covered and I've got names, and i don't care

626
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: how good your running backs are. So we've got to

627
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: go back to the drawing board and we've got to say, hey,

628
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: this is now gonna be the model. This is what

629
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: you learn from. This is what teams are gonna look

630
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: at film and they're gonna say, we're gonna play bear

631
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 3: all day against you guys, Manda Man Press and Darry

632
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 3: to throw it, and we cannot count on throwing it.

633
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: So we have got to go back to the drawing

634
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: board and figure out how we can run off tackle

635
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: with seal blocking. You know, basically, we got to be

636
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: able to run the counter tray with seal blocking. We've

637
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: got to run whams with that kind of blocking. Joe

638
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: knows what I'm talking about, and we've got to be

639
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: able to execute those things because we've got to keep

640
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: if we're gonna win with Minshew at quarterback, we've got

641
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: to keep that ball third twenty five to thirty times rushing.

642
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: We have to. And our two best players are there,

643
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: so you know, and that doesn't mean we can't screen

644
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: to them and run some RPO and stuff like that,

645
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: but we have got to master this bear defense or

646
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: without ar five, you know, what's gonna look like is

647
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: gonna look exactly like last year. See to me, when

648
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: I walked out of that game yesterday, Matt, and after

649
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: I looked at the tape, I said, this looks exactly

650
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 3: like twenty two. So we have to figure that out.

651
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: If this is really incumbent on our staff to figure

652
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 3: it out, because we still now more than ever, have

653
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: to win with twenty eight and twenty one.

654
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: That's Rick Venturi. Joe Wrights is along time, Matt Taylor.

655
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: You're listening to Colts Round Table Live tonight here on

656
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: ninety three five and one oh seven five, and we're

657
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: playing what's my line? Let's go to the next topic

658
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: here and stay right there. Rick, So the running game.

659
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: This is wild to me. In two games this year

660
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars, the season series is over, the Colts

661
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: average fifty four rushing yards per game. Against everybody else,

662
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: the Colts are averaging one hundred and forty seven rushing

663
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: yards per game. The Colts, they only had one run

664
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: over ten yards in two games this season against the

665
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. As you said yesterday, the Colts averaged only

666
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: two point six yards per carry. Rick, what happened in

667
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: the running game yesterday? Why is it you talk about

668
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: that bear defense? For those that don't know, maybe give

669
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: us a thirty second synopsis on what the bear defense

670
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: is and why it gives the Colts so much trouble.

671
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: Well, and the thing is is Jacksonville has it figured out,

672
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: and they say, we're not gonna play at forty percent

673
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: of the time. We're gonna play it eighty five percent

674
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: of the time. And here's what the bear is. Simply,

675
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: you put a guy down on the nose. You put

676
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: your two defensive ends down on the guards, so you

677
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: cover the interior. Right now, you cover them, they can't

678
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: get off, it's harder to pull. And then you take

679
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: your two edge guys and you bring them off the edge,

680
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: which for them is Alan and Walker, and then you

681
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: have a stackbacker, two stackbackers and a safety which is

682
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: usually Jenkins, and then you have ola Con and you

683
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: have Lloyd in there. And so what those front five

684
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: guys do is they attack the line of scrimmage and

685
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: they attack us better than any other team. They do

686
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: more dominating of our offensive line. Every time we play

687
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: against Robertson Harris, he does a good job the on Nelson,

688
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: to tell you the truth, And they dominate. They push

689
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: the line with those guys, and then they attack with

690
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: those inside three. And you know, Olacan is a tackling machine,

691
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 3: Lloyd is tough, Jenkins is tough up in the box.

692
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: So when you go to run zone runs, you can't

693
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: get through for linebackers. They get free to the off tackle,

694
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: they get free top. There's really no place to go. Now,

695
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: some teams would say if this was Shula's old Dolphins

696
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 3: with Marino, the way he beat it is he threw

697
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: every down, But we're not capable of doing that. We

698
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: are not gonna win that way.

699
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what the Colts did last year

700
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: in Game two at home against the Jaguars at Legas

701
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: Oil exactly.

702
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. But we are not gonna do that consistently.

703
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 3: It's not sustainable. So we have to go back and

704
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: look at the old tapes. Now I'm familiar with him

705
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: because it was my vintage that this defense was played

706
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: in the eighties with Buddy Ryan, but it's really made

707
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: a complete return. But Jacksonville says, we know the Colts.

708
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: We are gonna play the Colts this way every single down,

709
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: and that's the difference. Like I was shocked Tennessee didn't

710
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: do it, but Tennessee stayed in there over the whole

711
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: game and we gashed that. We will gash that. So

712
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure Joe has some thoughts on that, but I'm

713
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: sure he's on the same page because we've looked at it, YEP.

714
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 6: And coach sad onto that. I think one, I think

715
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 6: Nelson has played it really high level all year, but

716
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 6: he did not have his best game. And when you're

717
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 6: playing a team again that's gonna cover up the center

718
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 6: and both guards and that bear defense, you got to

719
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 6: have some great individual performances. And I think two, this

720
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 6: is a game we really missed. Braiden Smith. I thought

721
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 6: Braiden Smith was off the charts good last week against Tennessee. Now,

722
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: and it's a tough it's a tough ask for Freeland

723
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 6: to play two games at left tackle. Now you go

724
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: to right tackle against a really good front, and I

725
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 6: thought you could see on the right side of the line,

726
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 6: we really missed Braiden Smith in his stability because him

727
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 6: and Fries had some good things going yesterday. But I

728
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 6: think it's a combination of one. Schematically, we got to

729
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 6: get more creative and no, this is a copycat league,

730
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 6: and I would expect Cleveland to come in here and

731
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 6: play tight man coverage on the outside. That's what they

732
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 6: did all game against San Francisco yesterday and beat the

733
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 6: forty nine ers, which nobody saw coming. And so we

734
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 6: got to figure out how we can do it. Schematically,

735
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 6: We've got to have better individual efforts just from the

736
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 6: offensive line. And if I'm Shane and I'm Tony Sparano,

737
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 6: I'm going into that meeting room this week and I'm saying,

738
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 6: Veellas got to you be the heartbeat of this team.

739
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 6: I know we're gonna get some heavier boxes. I know

740
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 6: we're gonna get some heavier fronts, but guess what, We're

741
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 6: just the men for the job, and we got to

742
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 6: buck up and we gotta do it, and we gotta

743
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 6: be able to grind people out better just running the

744
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 6: ball and being okay with three four tough yards, and

745
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 6: maybe we run it for second and six, we run

746
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 6: it again. It's third and two, we run it again.

747
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 6: And I think we're gonna have to win games with that,

748
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 6: and win games with our offensive line really being assertive

749
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 6: and taking it over. So hopefully we can get Smith back,

750
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 6: we can get our five guys there and really issue

751
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 6: the challenge for the line to step up and lead

752
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 6: this team, especially over these next four or five weeks.

753
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,879

Speaker 2: Venturi and Joe wrightser back again. I'm Matt Taylor. This

779
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: is the mail bags, amit? Tweet them in, use those

780
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: questions and use the hashtag. I should say the questions

781
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: with the hashtag Colts round Table for the Fellas on

782
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: the program tonight. We got a handful of minutes left,

783
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 2: and so let's get right to it. Let's go to Stuart.

784
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: He's asking Rick how close are Brent's and Jones at

785
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 2: corner to becoming mainstays for us in the secondary. Of course,

786
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: both of those players, Juju Brintz and Jalen Jones Rick

787
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: their rookie corners baptism by fire at times yesterday.

788
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I really like these

789
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: two kids. I think these two kids have talent. I

790
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: think they have athleticism and linked a couple of things

791
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 3: I really like about them. I think they're really competitive.

792
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 3: You know, at this point in their career, they're a

793
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: little bit like the girl with the curl.

794
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 6: You know.

795
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: They flash a really good play and then something happens

796
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 3: that's a head scratcher, you know, And that's part of youth.

797
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 3: But we chose that as a franchise to go with youth,

798
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 3: and so I'm gonna put a little bit or the

799
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 3: problem here on the staff in this sense, you know,

800
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 3: I think that really coaching in the NFL. You hear

801
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 3: me say this all the time. Whether it's game plan

802
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: is really adaptation and maximizing adsets and minimizing limits. Now,

803
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 3: these kids are talented and they're long, but they're costing

804
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: us games. But they're not costing us games because they're

805
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: not good enough. They're costing us games because they're indecisive

806
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: in making airs. And that's a no no from a

807
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 3: coaching standpoint, even with the rookie. From that standpoint, you know,

808
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: we blew the RAM game because we didn't sort a

809
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 3: bunch and we allowed a guy to go wide open

810
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 3: for a walkoff touchdown. You know, the killer, the kill shot.

811
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: The twenty first point was again a blown coverage you

812
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 3: know by Brent's on the right side. But I'm not

813
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 3: blaming him totally. What I'm saying is, as a defensive staff,

814
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: you can do this. I coached twenty seven years in

815
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 3: the NFL, either as secondary coach or a linebacker coach.

816
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: There's no scheme that I haven't coached. And when you

817
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: have young kids, when you have rookies, and our kids

818
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: are sharp or they wouldn't be here. But even at

819
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: times when I've had guys that weren't very sharp, I

820
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: was always able to simplify the game for the corners,

821
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 3: particularly if you have safeties who can cover in space,

822
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: which we do certainly with Blackman, he's half a corner.

823
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 3: Thomas is not bad, and I would put crossing if

824
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: I have to, because he's a hybrid like Blackman, who

825
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: can play a corner and isn't worried about being isolated

826
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: by a wide out. And so I would really keep

827
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: it simple with these guys without without simplifying the defense,

828
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: I mean, and get them in depress almost all the

829
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 3: time with that link that they have, let them get

830
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: up and press. Those guys play one on one. I mean,

831
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: Bron's was playing Brittley really well over there, and then

832
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: they had one of those read coverages where we read

833
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: number two and he wasn't or just like he wasn't

834
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: sure on the switch off. Well to me, you know,

835
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: we can blame it on the kids, but we don't

836
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: have time to blame it on the kids. We have

837
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: to take control of that with the staff and simplify

838
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 3: it for these guys. They're going to be very good someday,

839
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: but they can be damn good right now if we

840
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: simplify within every coverage. You keep it simple for the corners,

841
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: and trust me, I know that it's possible and it

842
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 3: has to be done or else we're going to give

843
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: up games. And these kids are better than that. I

844
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 3: really believe this. I like those two kids.

845
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about a lot of upside there. Okay,

846
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: let's go to Chris's question here on the mail bag

847
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 2: again hashtag Colts Round Table to interact with us every

848
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 2: Monday night. Joe Chris is asking how can we get

849
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: more explosive in our offense when we're not down big

850
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: and not playing from desperation mode.

851
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 6: This is where I think my focus number one for

852
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 6: the offensive staff would be this week in terms of

853
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 6: how do we get explosive plays? And when you do that,

854
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: I think you think players not skilled and the players

855
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 6: are Taylor Moss and I think Josh Downs and so

856
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 6: whether it's being more creative with them in the passing game.

857
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 6: I mean, Taylor had that forty yard play on a

858
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 6: rub route. We went five. Why they're in man coverage

859
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 6: running across the field. If you play Taylor and Moss together,

860
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 6: you're probably gonna get heavier defenses, more linebackers, and then

861
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 6: we can spread them out and let those guys work.

862
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 6: I think the screen game is really important. We've been

863
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 6: doing it from a wide receiver perspective, but some more

864
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 6: creative running back screens, and so I would just think

865
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 6: these are our three most explosive guys. How can we

866
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 6: get them at advantageous positions? And especially with where the

867
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 6: film was on Sunday, I would guess teams are going

868
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 6: to play us more with some more bear, some more

869
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 6: heavy boxes, and some tight coverage on the outside. We'll

870
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 6: take advantage of Taylor, Moss and Downs either on inside

871
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 6: linebackers and safeties, because I do think we have advantage there, Coach.

872
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 6: What are your thoughts, Yeah.

873
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm pretty close to that. I'm just a little bit

874
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 3: different because I see Moss as a I see him explosive,

875
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: but I see him explosion between the tackles. If you

876
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: open the hole, he can take it. The guys to

877
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 3: me that can create that can get in space and

878
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 3: make things happen. To me, the three guys are twenty eight, Taylor, obviously,

879
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: downs In obviously McKenzie. I think those are the guys

880
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: that can create open plays, and so schematically, I'm right

881
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: with you, Joe. I think you move Taylor around and

882
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: I do think that playing Taylor and Moss together and

883
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: moving Taylor around can be really effective. You saw the

884
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 3: forty yard play. We've never done that before when we

885
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 3: put him out there as the widest receiver. Now we've

886
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: done that, but we've never brought him across in the

887
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: rub route like that, and that was tremendous. Also, the

888
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: little slip screens to him on first down coming out

889
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: of the backfield sometimes against those loaded boxes are much

890
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: better than sweeps because it freezes those linebackers like Olacon,

891
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: they think pass first, they're not just flaming to the ball.

892
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, I think getting him involved

893
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 3: in what I think called loose play stuff is really critical,

894
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 3: even a little bit like they did with you know

895
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: they did with Etn with that wildcat. I mean, just

896
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: some different things to get him and create some confusion.

897
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 3: And then I still think a combination of downs. I

898
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: think we've got to quit thinking of downs just as

899
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 3: a slot because when we're doing that, we're only reducing

900
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: him to the middle of the field. I mean, the

901
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: one time we got that red zone, he took that

902
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 3: number thirty that right corner and broke his legs for

903
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: the touchdown within a short area. See, I think he's

904
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 3: the guy we should be pushing deep. We can use

905
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: him on over routes, we can use him on gadgets,

906
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,479
Speaker 3: but he is deadly one on one. He's our best

907
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: one on one receiver. It's not even close. And then

908
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: Mackenzie gave you the big play on the on the

909
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: speed the other day. So again, I still think it's

910
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: gonna come down to and I didn't get into this,

911
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 3: and I think we got to use more multiple tight

912
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 3: ends if we're going to run against that bear, you know,

913
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: and then you use these guys, you know, you use

914
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 3: these guys in various positions to create space form.

915
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: All right, that's a look at the Colts mail Bag,

943
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: to wrap up the show tonight with Rick Venturi and

944
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights. And Joe, I know that game was ugly yesterday,

945
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: but as a as a former player, what are you

946
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: doing this week to bounce back? Get your mind right

947
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: for the Browns and get your attention right as those

948
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 2: Browns they're for real in the sense that they pulled

949
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: off an upset over the forty nine Ers on Sunday. Man,

950
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: you never know it's any given Sunday. The forty nine

951
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 2: Ers had won fifteen straight regular season games and then

952
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 2: a team with a backup quarterback knocks them off. So

953
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 2: how do you get right mentally as a former player there?

954
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 6: You got to watch the film today with the critical

955
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 6: eye and you got to dump it and you got

956
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 6: to get focused on Cleveland and they got a real defense.

957
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 6: They held San fran too two hundred and fifteen yards.

958
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 6: They won it with PJ. Walker. But you got a

959
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 6: home game coming in here with Cleveland, and I think

960
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 6: for the Colts. For me, you're three and three after

961
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 6: six games. You've done nothing to really separate yourself, but

962
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 6: you're not out of it either. You're still very much

963
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 6: alive in this AFC playoff race, and you got four

964
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 6: games Cleveland at home, New Orleans at home at Carolina,

965
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 6: who looks awful, and then New England, who looks the

966
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 6: same in Germany, and then you got your bye week.

967
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 6: And we got to take advantage of this four game

968
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 6: stretch right here to put us in a position to

969
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 6: really be in the hunt when we get done with

970
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 6: our bye week and we're into November and December football.

971
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 3: This is the sky high Cleveland Browns coming in here.

972
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: Their defense is coached by Mike protege Jimmy Schwartz, and

973
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 3: they are tremendous. They are number one in the league

974
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 3: on defense with the in my opinion, best edge rusher

975
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 3: in the game in Miles Garrett. They can they can

976
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 3: ruin your day on defense and then on offense. If

977
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson is ready this week, he is a handful heat.

978
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 3: We've seen him almost single handedly wet US with a

979
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: bad Texas team, and they have a real top tier

980
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 3: player in Amari Cooper. Now the irony, we could be

981
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: seeing the two Walker guys against US, two former Colts.

982
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 3: That's Anthony in the middle and PJ at quarterback. But

983
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that Watson will be ready this week.

984
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 2: We will find out as the week progresses. Right there,

985
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: Great job, Rick Interry, Joe Wright, Si'm Matt Taylor. We're

986
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,719
