Speaker 1: first road test of the season, that first game of

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,599

Speaker 1: Cherry is going to join us on Tuesday on my

17

Speaker 1: and nothing but your Colts content in front of you.

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: We'll get you set for a little high school football

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: game of the week brought you by car X. Coming

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: up at the top of the Hour, Eddie Garrison, Jim Leisure,

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence North, and Lawrence Central Coming at you later on

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: tonight is this week's burning question. The Colts selected to

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: keep six receivers. They also kept three tight ends and

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks, but only kept three running backs. Of those

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: three running backs, Dion Jackson was kept over the vet.

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Philip lindsay, are they putting too much stock into Taylor

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: always staying healthy? Does this limit Nahem Hines in the

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: passing game? That is your burning question? Last season, of course,

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the Colts kept four running backs on the final roster

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: that was in twenty twenty one, with Jonathan Taylor, Naheim Hines,

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins. Marlon Mack was a healthy

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: scratch a majority of the season. Meanwhile Wilkins played special

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: teams until his release and the addition of Dion Jackson

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: to the active roster. Taylor and Hines make this group dynamic.

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: But is there any worry about having just three? At

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: JMV ten seventy, you can go and answer that question,

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: that burning question, if you'll like meantime, we'll start out

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: this show the Voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor and

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: the Place kicker. Rodrigo Blancolinship join us now, Matt go ahead,

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: joining us now, the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts going

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: into his third year. Welcome Rodrigo Blankenship out of Georgia,

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: hot Rod, Welcome back, man. How are you? I am wonderful.

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me absolutely well. First off,

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: let let's pick up with the kicking competition and training

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: camp between yourself and Jake Verity. You win. It not

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: foreign to you, right, you had to win these kicking

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: battles in the past. How did that go? And then

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: what do you think it boiled down to in terms

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: of your consistency to make this team once again? Yeah?

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm no stranger competition. You know,

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: going back to my time at the University of Georgia,

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: I was in h several kicking battles um in my

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: years there as well. So um, you know, I think

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: that that really kind of prepared me for you know,

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: life in the NFL. And you know there's guys there's

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: only so many positions, only so many jobs available, and

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: so you know there's a lot of guys, a lot

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: of really talented guys that are competing for those spots,

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: and Jake is one of them. You know, he's an

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: incredibly talented UM kicker in his own right. UM, So

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: you know it's definitely, uh, definitely not easy. UM. Definitely

64
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: had to earn it every single day because you know,

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: he was bringing the juice every day and so I

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, I had to try and match that or

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: exceeded every single day at practice that we were competing. UM.

68
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 1: You know, So he's a you know, really incredible kicker. UM.

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think that this will be

70
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the last time that we hear from him. I definitely

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: think he's going to have opportunities to make noise UM

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: in some other places. UM. But ultimately, I think it

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: just kind of came down to, you know, just being

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: being more consistent, you know, just you know, having a

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: you know higher standard of uh performance that I was

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: bringing to practice every day and just consistently, UM, you know,

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: being the top performer I think is ultimately, UM, what

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: did it? Yeah, that's Jake verity that you speak of.

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: For those that don't know what what's it like to

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: be in a kicking battle? Can can you summarize that?

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: I know it's a loaded question, but for those that

82
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: don't know how intense that is. What's that like? Yeah,

83
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean you know I think, uh, you know, when

84
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: when you have another guy there, um, you know, it

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: definitely is a little bit puts you in a little

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: bit different headspace. Um. You know, I kind of think like,

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: you know, if when it's when it's just you, you know,

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: if if we kick you know, ten field goals in

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: a script or whatever, and and you make all ten kicks,

90
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, when it's just you, you're feeling pretty good.

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: You're like, man, I just made a one hundred percent um,

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, so I'm I'm feeling pretty good about that.

93
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: But if there's another guy there, you know, you could

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: make all of your kicks and he also makes all

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: of his kicks, you know, then you're like, oh man,

96
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, like I made all my kicks and you

97
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: know that was only good enough to tie kind of

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: meant it, you know, And so it's just you know,

99
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of puts you in a little bit different headspace where, um,

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, like you can you can do your best,

101
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes you still feel like maybe that's not quite

102
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: cutting it, you know, so you have to you know,

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: even further elevate and even further try and raise your

104
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: game the next time out. So and you know, and

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: that's how it should be. You know, that's what competition

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: should do. Competition should bring out the best in you.

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: It should you know, push you to the very edge

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: every single day, and that's how you're going to get better.

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: That's Rodrigo Blanketship with US Colts kicker. And for those

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: again that don't know, it's it's not uncommon for every

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: NFL team to have multiple kickers on the roster during

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: the preseason, during training camp, I mean out of vinitary

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: head a guy in here most years. Do you feel like,

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: with that said, do you feel like, even though it's

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: it's common, you feel like you have to come in

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: and reapprove yourself every year. You have to have this

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: edge about you to start camp every single time out. Absolutely? Yeah,

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think that regardless of who you are,

119
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, you should want to come into camp every

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: season and prove why you belong there, you know, and

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: earn your place. You know. I had re shared the

122
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: story from the Colts announcing officially our fifty three man roster,

123
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, everything is earned, you know,

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: nothing is given. You have to earn everything in this league.

125
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, this is the highest level of football, and

126
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: so you know, especially for you know, my position where

127
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: there's only one per team, right, you know, you absolutely

128
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: have to come in every year with the mindset that

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to earn my keep. I'm going to earn

130
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: my place here every single year. So yeah, so with

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: that said, again, I know you have to continue to

132
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: earn it and you have to continue to prove yourself

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: every day. Everybody in the NFL does, right, Yes, but

134
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: do you feel like a weight it's been lifted off

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: your shoulders because you did win that initial kicking battle.

136
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Now you can focus on just being the best you

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: can as the only kicker out there on the practice

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: field the game field. I definitely think there was a

139
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,559
Speaker 1: little bit of relief. Yeah, but now now the game's

140
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: counts a different pressure, right, Yeah. Now now it's a

141
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: different pressure because now you know, every everything that we're

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: doing from here on out is you know, going to

143
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: contribute to our goals to you know, make the playoffs,

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: go to the AHD Championship, go to the Super Bowl. So, um,

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, there there was a moment of relief, but um,

146
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and now it's a like you said, a different kind

147
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: of pressure because now everything counts. That's Rodrigo blanket ship

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: with us. Take me back to last year. I know

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: that injury in Week five ended your season. How tough

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: was that last year to deal with the injury? But

151
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: then no, you just you just couldn't be out there

152
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: doing your job, you know, with the team that uh

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: that you started with back in twenty twenty. Yeah. Um,

154
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think that mentally and emotionally it was,

155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: um was more challenging than it was physically. I mean,

156
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: we have we have an incredible sports medicine staff and

157
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, our our trainers you know, got me on

158
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: a on a good plan to get me back to

159
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: being healthy as quickly as possible. Um. You know, but

160
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: once I had gotten to that point, that was when,

161
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, mentally and emotionally became more challenging, because there

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: came a point where I felt like I was healthy

163
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: and I felt like I was capable of you know,

164
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: going back out and you know, trying to help our

165
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: team win games, and I wasn't out there, and so

166
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: you know that was most challenging for me. But um,

167
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately I kind of had term myself that

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, this is what the team felt like was

169
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: best for the team, you know, And so if that

170
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: meant that I just had to, you know, just support

171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the team and just wait for my opportunity, then that's

172
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: what I had to do, because ultimately, you know, our

173
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: our management, our coaches felt like, you know, that was

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: what was best for the team, and at the end

175
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: of the day, that's what I care about most. I mean,

176
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: but certainly an unfortunate situation that happened to you, right

177
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: you got injured in warmups right against the Baltimore Ravens

178
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: or warming up for that game on Monday night football.

179
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: When when did you feel like something was a little

180
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: off throughout the course of that night? Hum, I think

181
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: when we was it right away or I don't know

182
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: that it was right away, but um, it definitely kind

183
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: of progressed, and you know, I started to feel that

184
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: pain more strongly when we came back out of the

185
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: locker room, like right before the opening kickoff. I usually

186
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: hit a few more balls off of off of the

187
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: sticks at that time leading up to the opening kick offense.

188
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: So I think at that point that was when it

189
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: became you know, very intolerable. Yeah, well, I mean, this

190
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: is a little bit inside football. But you know, last year,

191
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: because of you know, the COVID background, you know, the

192
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: radio crew, we still weren't going to games. UM, so

193
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: I wish you would have texted me or something because

194
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: we didn't. We weren't. We weren't at the game. So

195
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to see Rigaberto Sanchez lining up for a field goal,

196
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: no one had any idea what was going on. So

197
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad it all worked out for you again coming

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: out of college in two thy twenty year, last year

199
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen at Georgia. From that point on right now,

200
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: where do you think you have improved the most? How

201
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: do you think your game has suddenly gotten better over

202
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: the course of three years? Here? Tough question. I would

203
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: like to say that, you know, I was like NFL

204
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: ready the second that I finished my college career, but

205
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: that you know, definitely wasn't the case. UM. I think

206
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: that something that I've you know, really had to work on. UM.

207
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: Looking at my field goal specifically, it's just elevation. UM.

208
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I think that that was you know, some thing that

209
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: UM weighed heavily into my evaluation coming out of college

210
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: was that I just didn't have the best trajectory UM

211
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: kicking field goals where you know, some of my balls

212
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: would kind of come out low, and that gave you know,

213
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: teams opportunities to UM you know, get blocks to the

214
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: line of scrimmagem and I think that, you know, there

215
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: were a couple examples of that that UM teams looked

216
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: at where I had a kick blocked against South Carolina

217
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: my senior year and then another one against Missouri my

218
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: junior year where they were blocked to the line of

219
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage due to you know, inadequate trajectory, right, And I

220
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: think that that's been something that I've had to really

221
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: work on getting with my UM kicking coach in the

222
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: off season UM to kind of adjust my swing just

223
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: a little bit to make sure that I'm getting that

224
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: elevation at the ball or ball striking. Yeah, yeah, just

225
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of like foot placement on the ball and then

226
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: it sounds so easy, but it's not. Yeah yeah. And

227
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: then also you know, just the path of your swing

228
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: getting from the end of your drawback to impact as well.

229
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: I mean, m Ellinger has talked about working with Tom House,

230
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: the throwing coach, on biomechanics. This is sort of the same,

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: but just a different body part, right, you're using your

232
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: leg instead of your arm. How long does that take

233
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: to where the change that is necessary become so commonplace

234
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: you don't even think about the fact that you're doing

235
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: it differently. I mean that takes time. You know. You can,

236
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, you can make a change, you know, and

237
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: you can see the results of it immediately. But you know,

238
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: having developed muscle memory over that's just it. You know,

239
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: so many reps you're trying to rewrite something that you've

240
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: been doing for a very long time. So, you know,

241
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I think that it definitely, you know, has taken a

242
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: significant amount of time to where I feel like that

243
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: adjustment has been weighed where I'm consistently getting more elevation

244
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: and trajectory than I did now compared to my senior

245
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: year Georgia. But you know, this is three years later,

246
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: no question about a Rodrigo Blankenship is with US colts

247
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: kicker also in the special team's realm. Unfortunately, you know,

248
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: Rigoberto Sanchez went down with that achilles injury a couple

249
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: of weeks ago during a conditioning drill. Just a really

250
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: unfortunate accident, Just an unfortunate occurrence because of how it happened, Hey,

251
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: how is he doing? And then be you know, just

252
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: how tough is that to see as his teammate and

253
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: how valuable he is to this team when he's healthy. Yeah,

254
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like you said, he's you know,

255
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: he's an incredibly important part of this team. I mean

256
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: obviously being an incredible punter, incredible kickoff specialist, and incredible holder. Um.

257
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: You know what what he brings on the field is um,

258
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, critical for our team. UM, but also off

259
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: the field. You know, he's an incredible human being. You know,

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: it's really easy to He's really easy to get along with. UM,

261
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, just a really great guy and we all

262
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, very much love and care for him. UM.

263
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: So that was very difficult to see, um and what happened. Um,

264
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: But he he is doing pretty well. UM. You know,

265
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: he had his surgery on Friday, UM, and he said

266
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: that it went really well, you know, no hiccup stare, Um,

267
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the operation went clean. So UM, that was really encouraging

268
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: to hear. Then I know that my wife Logan went

269
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: over to the Sanchez's house to watch our last preseason

270
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: game nice with him in Cynthia. And so you know,

271
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: I think that really that's just the best thing we

272
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: can do right now, is you know, just just support

273
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: him and encourage him and just let him know that

274
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: we care about him and that we can't wait to

275
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: have him back because he is, you know, kind of

276
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: the heart and soul of this team, and so we

277
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: just need to continue to support him however we can.

278
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, just if you can talk

279
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: about you know that the psyche of this team. Regular

280
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: season football starts next week, back to back road games

281
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC South. What is the mentality of this

282
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: team sort of chomping at the bit getting ready for

283
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: this season to get going here. Yeah, I mean I

284
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: think that our mentality is like we're ready to you know,

285
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: go on the offensive, and I think that we're ready

286
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: to show people we're all about. We're very excited for

287
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: this season. We brought in a lot of you know,

288
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: big time guys that have played big time football in

289
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: their careers, and we're really excited to you know, have

290
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: those new pieces to this team. And I think we're

291
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: ready to kind of just go out and chalk the

292
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,640

00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: Rick vent Cherry, Matt Taylor, the radio guys break down

346
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football and how the roster

347
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: looks right now as we are roads the start of

348
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: the Colts twenty twenty two season. Thank you, Jane Vat's

349
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: time for Inside Football here on Colts Happy Hour with

350
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: Rick Venturry and we are back breaking down the Colts

351
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. We're going all over this thing.

352
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna start on offense and you have to go

353
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: all the way to the top. Obviously you have to

354
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: begin with the quarterback position, and Sam Ellinger makes the

355
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: initial roster, so the Colts are going with three. Do

356
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: you agree with keeping three quarterbacks at the start of

357
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: the season. That's A and then B. How attractive was

358
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: Ellinger going to be? Had the Colts waived him initially

359
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: here at the end of the preseason, Well, I'm told

360
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: in an agreement and carry him as number three. I

361
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: think you know, I wasn't. I wasn't sure coming into camp.

362
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: I've doubted his arm strength. That there is a clear

363
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and clear improvement into his arm strength and ball placement

364
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. He has to the nine,

365
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: I mean, every other thing that you want out of

366
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback, ability to make big plays, intangibles, intelligent, it factor.

367
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I did not want to put him out on the market.

368
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: There's no way on a fifty three man roster that

369
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: we have fifty that we have a couple of guys

370
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: that we could live without to keep a quarterback who

371
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: to me has an upside. And you know, I'll add

372
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: two things to it. I do think he would be

373
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: picked up. And number two Nick Foles I've had, I've

374
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: kind of gone the opposite. I can't warm up to

375
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: him totally. I know what he can do. I think

376
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: if he comes in in a short term mat which

377
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: has been his m you know, Teddy Marsha Brody used

378
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: to say a quarterbacks, this particular quarterback is a two

379
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: or three or four game quarterback meeting. That's how long

380
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: I can play with him. I think it would be

381
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: a seamless transition because he's a veteran, he knows the

382
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: offense and all that. I think it would be seamless.

383
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: But I think he and as always in his past,

384
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: it catches up with him and God forbid of something

385
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: happened to Matt early and we had to go a

386
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: long term. I'm not sure that I wouldn't be looking

387
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: at Allinger on the long term. So I like that

388
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: one totally. You know, there's no question in my mind

389
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: I wanted that to happen. That's Rick vent Terry. This

390
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: is inside football, So that's quarterback. Let's go to running back.

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: As the Colts cut veteran running back there Philip Lendsay,

392
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: and the Colts are riding with only three backs to

393
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: start the season. I guess we'll start with Lendsay and

394
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about how that impacts the offense and

395
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: then the confidence in Jonathan Taylor. But what did you

396
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: make of that move in isolation the Colts not keeping

397
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay and only going with three running backs. Yeah,

398
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, I was a little surprised because I thought

399
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: when Ogiltree went down and cut us to three tight ends,

400
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: I thought that that might ensure four running backs. I

401
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: think pays status on the defensive line and Leonard's status.

402
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Not knowing if they're going to be necessarily ready for

403
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the opener, I'm saying they will or they will not be.

404
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that it is problematic. I think that

405
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: forced us into an extra linebacker and an extra defensive

406
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: lineman in my opinion, even though I'm not sure anybody

407
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: deserves to be on that roster there. But if from

408
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: an insurance standpoint, you had to do it, and so

409
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: if you get down to only carry in three, you

410
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: know which is which is okay? Then that third guy

411
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: has to be a special teams guy. And I like Jackson.

412
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: I think Jackson is a good all purpose backup. I

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: think he particularly backs up Taylor maybe better than Lindsay did.

414
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: I think Lindsay's kind of between Taylor and Hines, kind

415
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: of a tweener. I think that Jackson is more of

416
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: a true tailback like Jonathan. And Plus I thought that

417
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Jackson did a good job on special teams this summer

418
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: game after game after games, So I mean, I think

419
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: that had to do. I think the four to three

420
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: had to do with the overall team. And we gotta

421
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: win those first two so there's no you know, there's

422
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: no development there. You gotta be ready both special teams

423
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: and defense in those first two weeks with those injuries.

424
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: So that was critical. And so then when you get

425
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: down to the third guy, and when you get down

426
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: to that position on all positions, special teams becomes number one, right,

427
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: and you're probably it was a bit of a surprise,

428
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: but not not that it knocks me off my feet. Yeah,

429
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm kind in the same boat because I mean, if

430
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: you keep four running backs, you're probably gonna have one inactive.

431
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: That was the case last year with Marlon Mack. And

432
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: I think this too, Rick, I mean, I would like

433
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this. To me. This also speaks to

434
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: the Colts confidence in Jonathan Taylor, not only as the player,

435
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: but his durability because I mean, he's averaged about three

436
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: hundred carries per game dating back to twenty seventeen at Wisconsin,

437
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: and he stays healthy, he's durable, he doesn't miss time

438
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: even though he has that high of a workload. Yeah,

439
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. I mean, I know when

440
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: he came out, there are some people actually criticize that

441
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: he had six hundred carries. To me, it was the

442
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: selling point. This was a guy that gets better in

443
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He's durable, He'll carry it as many

444
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: times as you want to give it to him. He's

445
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: tougher than nails. And you know, I mean doing smart things,

446
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: not not playing him in the preseason and things like

447
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: that are outstanding. And then you do have a guy

448
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: that's a little bit better. Now I like him as

449
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: a hybrid with Taylor when they're both healthy, that's Hines.

450
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: But Hines is a little bit better tailback and a

451
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: little bit more physical than people giving credit for so.

452
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, to answer your question, there is no there

453
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: is no doubt that with the durability that he has

454
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: shown historically, that also probably factors in a little bit

455
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: inside football. Right now, with Rick Venturi, I'm Matt Taylor elsewhere.

456
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: On offense, the Cults only keep eight offensive lineman. But

457
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: what do you make of the Colts depth up front

458
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: behind their starting lineup? Starting lineup really solid, but what

459
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: do you make of the depth behind that unit. Yeah,

460
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about it. There isn't any doubt about it.

461
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: But I think they kept the right guys. I mean,

462
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I think you're dealing with the right guys. I think

463
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: that you know your starting unit has been solid. I

464
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: think without question that against certain defensive ends, certain elite

465
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: defensive ends, you may have to help prior a little bit,

466
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: but that's you know, that happens with all teams. I

467
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: think Ryman is just getting better. I think he's very

468
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: close to challenging for the job. I think coach Strasser

469
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: has done a really good job with him, and they

470
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: played him and played him and played him, and they're

471
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: just he just has it. I mean, the kid has it,

472
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: and it's just a matter of time. So I think

473
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: what you're looking at right now is six guys I

474
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: think you can play with. I think Fries is a

475
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: little bit away, and he probably is seven. He obviously

476
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: started the game at right guard because of the injury

477
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: to Kelly and the pushover of Pinter and you know,

478
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's really ready. I think Strauss

479
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: has also done a really good job with him, but

480
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: he needs to get lower, he needs to play with

481
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: a better pad level. You know, he's not experienced. I mean,

482
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: they hit us with two blitzes. You know, one was

483
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: a sack, one was a fourth quarterback out. You know,

484
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: he didn't sift through there and pick it up, and

485
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: that's that's inexperience. I don't think he's quite ready, but

486
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that you continue to work with.

487
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: And I do think that French is a developmental center

488
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: and you know, and he's you want to keep a

489
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: guy that can play center like that, even though he

490
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: may really be developmental at this time. And they didn't.

491
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: They didn't go long. I thought they went long in

492
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: the defensive line for the quality we have, but I

493
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: think that's because of injuries. But I you know, I

494
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: think they kept the right guys. But I would be

495
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, I would I would be you know, I'd

496
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: be a phony if I didn't think I was concerned

497
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: about both our interior offensive line depth, in our interior

498
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: defensive line depth, all right elsewhere on offense to close

499
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: out that side of the ball. The Cults keeps mix receivers,

500
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: including both Mike Strown and Desmond Patman, both men, as

501
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: we know, the bigger bodied receivers, you know, six foot

502
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: five to twenty five. What do you make of the

503
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Colts keeping both players over at least one of these smaller,

504
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: shiftier receivers in Kiki Qt or de Michael Harris. Yeah,

505
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: I like it. I might have made the case for

506
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: Qt because I think he's also a really good return guy.

507
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: If Rogers isn't ready, I mean he's done it in

508
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: the league, that would have you know, that would have

509
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: been the battle for number six. Obviously four is settled,

510
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: you know you Pittman's had coming off a terrific camp

511
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Pierce has shown us he can go deep. Campbell and

512
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: Dueland will give us kind of a specialized slot. If

513
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: you want to really push the field, you go with Campbell.

514
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: If you want to be possession third down type of

515
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: guy and gadgets, you go with Dueland. I think that

516
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: Strong brings a red zone and third in short guy

517
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to the game because of his length, his radius, his girth.

518
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: I think he brings I always want somebody that I'm

519
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: keeping that gives me maybe something I don't have, And

520
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: I think he gives you a red zone fifty fifty guy.

521
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: I think he can and he's also developmental. I mean,

522
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: they're really he can develop into a top receiver. But

523
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: if nothing else, he gives you a third and four

524
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: to six possession guy, a red zone fifty fifty guy.

525
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Patman has done a good job also on special teams.

526
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: He would It would have been a battle to me

527
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: between Couti and Patman, but honestly it's a big man's

528
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: league and both those guys have upside, so again, no

529
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: real argument there. The only black I said, the only

530
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: thought would have been between Couti. The only thing that

531
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with we probably not going to talk about

532
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: it is I'm a little concerned with one thing at

533
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: our tight end position. I think our tight ends will

534
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: block the edge well. I think Granson had a terrific

535
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: camp and got better and better, as did Gilani, and

536
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: Gilanni is actually a better blocker than people think. I

537
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: think that um Ali Cox I didn't like. I didn't

538
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: like him in Game three Saturday night. He was one

539
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: of the things I didn't like. I think he can

540
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: block the edge and catch the ball and all that.

541
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: What were what he didn't do in that game is

542
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: he didn't in line block like Doyle. That's the one

543
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: thing I'm a little concerned with that we don't have

544
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: that guy on the whams in the you know what

545
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: I call the swap cutoffs and things like that, and

546
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: that hurt us in that first two series in the

547
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: Running Game because you know, we just we don't have

548
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: that right now. But there's nothing we're gonna do about it.

549
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to, you know, sit there. We may

550
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: you know, that might be a position where in the

551
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: course of time that you looked at Waiver wire over all, right, Rickmond, Cherry,

572
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: not enough running backs being kept. Here's his answer to

573
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: that at JMV ten seventy. The fourth running back on

574
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: the roster last year was inactive on game day. So

575
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: what difference is the fourth active roster fourth running back

576
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: on an active roster game day in activity to a

577
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: practice squad running back this year? Anyway, they both will

578
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: only add value in practice. That's an answer. One answer

579
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: to our burning question so far. Here's another for you.

580

00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: of training camp on pup. Last year, he led the

583
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: NFL with eight forced fumbles, which is the second most

584
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: in Colt's history for a single season. Who holds the

585

590
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: talking about the defense right now. Rick Venturie and Voice

591
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: of the Colts Matt Taylor Fellas, all right, thank you JMV.

592
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: We're back again, breaking down the Colts fifty three man

593
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: roster here on Inside Football with Rick venturi We did

594
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: the offense last segment. Let's shift over to the defensive side, Rick,

595
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: and let's start with the big piece of news, you know,

596
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily roster related, but injury related. Shaquille Leonard not

597
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: on pup to start the season. That's good news. That

598
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: means he will not miss the first four games of

599
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: the year. But there's still no guarantee he's gonna play

600
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: Week one in Houston, so still kind of in limbo.

601
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: As far as that in his return, how much time

602
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: do you think that he needs to be ready to play?

603
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: He has in practice. The last time we saw him

604
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: on any sort of field where that was a practice

605
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: field or a game field, you have to go back

606
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: to last January, new scheme, new defensive coordinators, coming off

607
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: that injury and that surgery in June. How much time

608
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: do you think he needs in order for him to play,

609
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: hopefully pain free for the first time in a long time. Yeah,

610
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: that's really hard to read on him. I think that

611
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: I think he needs He's gonna need contact work. He'll

612
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: be in shape. You know, he'll be ready to go

613
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: cardio vash killerly. He's not naturally just a you know,

614
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: a killer in the hole. He's not naturally a big

615
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: contact guy. So you know, that's the area that somehow

616
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get it in drills. You're gonna

617
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: have to get it in practice. You might even have

618
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: to take a couple of plays live with him. I

619
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: think you have to get that ready. But the good

620
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: news part of him is he's a different type of linebacker.

621
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: He's a slipping, slide guy avoid blocks, and what he

622
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: does is he runs sideline the sidelines, and I use

623
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: the term with you a couple of weeks ago, and

624
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: he just poaches. He poaches for that big play, and

625
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: that big play is what saved us in a lot

626
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: of games over the years. And I believe that he'll

627
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: be able to recapture that. I don't think. I think

628
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: those are mostly instinct players, and I think that part

629
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: of his game will come back very quickly because I

630
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: think it's just in his DNA. The contact part of

631
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: it is what you're going to have to get him ready.

632
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: And it's really hard for me to say. I mean,

633
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: it's but this is another real advantage, Matt of the

634
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: two week period. It's it's QUITTI pay who has an injury,

635
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, who has an injury that is day to day.

636
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: It's it's Leonard coming back and being able to take

637
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: on a workload now where you wouldn't have him maybe

638
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: in three days. All right, any surprises to you. Let's

639
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: let's go defensive line. The Colts keep ten defensive linemen

640
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: making the cut as Byron Cowart. Ben Banigo makes the cut.

641
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: They did release RJ. McIntosh. Chris Williams did not make

642
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: the team. He played eight or nine games last year

643
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: they cut a draft pick and Curtis Brooks, a sixth

644
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: round guy out of Cincinnati. I know the Colts don't

645
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: like to do that. They covet their their draft picks.

646
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: Any prizes to you on how the Colts brought in

647
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, specifically defensive tackle, Well, you know, that's one

648
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: of my worries, to be honest with you, is when

649
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: you take you know, when you when you take Stewart,

650
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: who I can't say enough about. I said it during

651
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: the telecast most underrated and I think we said it

652
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: last week's podcast. Most underrated player on this fifty, on

653
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: this roster is Grover Stewart. I mean, he just took

654
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: that game over and again. I've advocated that he plays

655
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: more and even in some passing situations as the bull rusher.

656
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: But you take him and Buckner off inside, I'm really concerned,

657
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: you know. I think we'll be okay at defensive end.

658
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I think Lewis is ready to go, you know, I

659
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: think you get some inside outside you know, by Dio,

660
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: although he just he really hasn't. I haven't warmed up

661
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: to anything there so much. I think he flashed a

662
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: little bit here in the last two weeks. I think

663
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: you're keeping You're keeping Banagoo. I think because of pays

664
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of problematic situation. I think Banagoo flashed a little

665
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: bit here at the end, obviously against the Yahoo, so

666
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't give that too much credibility, but I think

667
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: you stayed heavy at defensive end when with him and

668
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: a Dennig bow you know there, and a kind of

669
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: a swing guy in dial. I think the biggest concern

670
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: for me is the defensive tackle depth. I know Johnson

671
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: and Coward made it. I'm not sure that they made

672
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: it on merit. I think that they basically were first

673
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: among equals in those backup positions. There was nothing there

674
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: that I saw in the course of the summer that

675
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: says you can win NFL football games with those guys.

676
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: So you know, again, that might be a position that

677
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: you're looking for as you go on. Again. My two

678
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: big concerns is depth interior defense, in depth interior offense.

679
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: That's Rick vent Urry. This is Inside Football breaking down

680
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: the colts initial fifty three man roster. I Matt Taylor

681
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: and linebacker. We talked about Shaquille Leonard, but the Colts

682
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: also traded Grant Stewart or got Grant Stewart in a

683
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: trade from the Buccaneers. Also at that position, they keep

684
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Doman. They did release Sterling Weatherford. Let me

685
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: ask you about the undrafted guys and the decisions there.

686
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: What does Doman have that Weatherford may have been lacking. Yeah,

687
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: and that's one spot that I may have reversed that

688
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: I may have gone with Weatherford. Now let me explain it,

689
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: because I don't have any problem with what they did.

690
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I think the fact that they traded

691
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: for Stewart. Now, now, Stewart probably was not going to

692
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: make the Bucks, even though he's played a lot and

693
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: he's been a very very good special teams player for them.

694
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: So if you could get a really, you know, legitimate,

695
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: tested in Sunday Games special teams guy like Stewart, you

696
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: do it because then he replaces Glasgow. You know who

697
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: was that guy a year ago? And he's got you know,

698
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: he's he is a decent linebacker, but he gives you

699
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: a really good special teams guy, which we're noted for.

700
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: So I think that would have been Weatherford spot. I

701
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: think he'd have seen two undrafted free agents there. So

702
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: then the decision came down between Weatherford and Doman, and

703
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. I think, first of all,

704
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: Doman caught the eye of everyone all the way back

705
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: to mini camps. I mean, you know, his first impression

706
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: was really good. If you remember Matt back in mini camp,

707
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: he took first snapper reps at times with the varsity.

708
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: Then then he started out good, then he got hurt

709
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: for a while, and then he finished really strong. He

710
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: made some real physical plays. Weatherford, to me, you know,

711
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: is probably second to Ellinger in terms of MVP of

712
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: the summer. To be honest with you, in terms of production,

713
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: I like. I like Weatherford in the long run as

714
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: a guy with a higher ceiling than Doman. I see

715
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: more length, I see more athleticism. I don't think that

716
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: he's the refined player, the refined linebacker that Doman is

717
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: at this moment. And we have to win now, so

718
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: I have no I really don't have any problem with that.

719
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, once we traded for a special teams guy

720
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: like Stewart, now what you'd like to do is make

721
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: sure that Weatherford's on your practice squad and develop, because

722
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the two guys that I thought

723
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: had starter potential was him and Flowers, and obviously we

724
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: kept Flowers at corner on the active roster, and now Weatherford,

725
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure will be on the practice squad and he's

726
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: the heat. Those two kids are potential starters at some

727
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: point because it's the talent. But I think again, Doman

728
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: made it because and I thought he played really good

729
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Saturday night. He's really tough and physical and so, you know,

730
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, I think he's probably the more refined

731
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: guy at this moment. All right, well said right there,

732
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: Rick Van Terry closing out on defense in the secondary.

733
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Eleven members of that secondary between corners and safeties make

734
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: the roster, Dallas Flowers makes it. Not making the cut there,

735
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Chesley Marvel Tell did not make the team. What

736
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: do you like most about the Cults secondary going into

737
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: the season. There's a lot of talent back there. Yeah,

738
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, I do think there's a lot of talent.

739
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: There was a lot of similar guys on the roster

740
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: where you could have picked either one probably had not

741
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: gone wrong. I think we have two really good corners,

742
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, and that is obviously Gilmore, who looks like

743
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: he's on top of his game, and Kenny Moore I

744
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: still believe a little bit like I do with Prior

745
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: on offense, that I believe that your third corner, face

746
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: on will it's in sirt, in games against certain people,

747
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: is going to need help. I just don't think that

748
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: he can hold up seventeen Sundays against the top guys

749
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. But I still think we

750
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: have two out of three. And again, if you have

751
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: to have one guy, that's not the worst thing in

752
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: the world. Rogers fell by the wayside because of the concussion.

753
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: That would have been an interesting battle. We kind of

754
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: know what he can do, and if he's the fourth corner,

755
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: he's a really good fourth corner. And so after that

756
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: it got down to like guys, you know, And I

757
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: think that Thomas played his way on into the secondary.

758
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: I think he is one of the biggest surprises the

759
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: last round draft kick out of Yale. I think he

760
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: really is a surprisingly good football player at safety, where

761
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: I thought he would end up, but he's ended up

762
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: there now because of Watt's injury. The only surprise, and

763
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: it's a pleasant surprise for me, is that we did

764
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: keep Flowers on the active Robert. Yeah, I thought that

765
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: Flowers maybe a guy that you know, and I've already

766
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: told you I think that that you know that that Weatherford,

767
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: that that that Flowers, that Thomas have starting traits. They

768
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: have starting traits, but I thought it might be developmental.

769
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: But they protected him, you did. You know, if you've

770
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: got a corner that can play on the outside, and

771
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: you think that he is as talented as anybody you got,

772
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, certainly after one two you don't want to

773
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: expose him. And so I'm kind of happy they kept

774
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: him out because I've liked I've liked him from day one.

775
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: I saw a terrific talent there. And obviously I think

776
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: coach Milos is the same thing I see. So you know,

777
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pretty good group. I think it's

778
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: elite at two spots. Uh, And we'll have to see

779
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: on that third spot. Rickman, Sherry Matt Taylor right there

798
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: He led the NFL a year ago and eight forced

799
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: fumbles tied second most Colts history for a single season.

800
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: Who holds the Colts single season force fumble record? That,

801
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: of course, would be the spin move of Dwight Frenny

802
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: nine back in two thousand and two. All right, Lara Overton,

803
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: Julian Blackman conversations about that defense in this case is

804
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: a secondary and a guy the Cults defensively will be

805
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 1: counting on a great deal. Lara Cult Safety Julian Blackman.

806
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: Before we talk about the upcoming season, I want to

807
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: go back to training camp. You guys had five full

808
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: weeks up at Grand Park. What is the best thing.

809
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: I think the best thing is being with the team.

810
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're not in it by yourself, so you

811
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: know every day you just got to be with the teammates.

812
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: And it's just a lot like college. You know, you're

813
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: in and out, going to going to training camp together.

814
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing is being there for so long.

815
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: It feels like being in at the hotel. You're like,

816
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: all right, I'm ready to go home, wash my clothes

817
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: and my own stuff, you know, sleep in my own bed.

818
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, you enjoy most of it.

819
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: I know that you guys have been implementing this new

820
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley scheme since the spring, when you guys all

821
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: kind of came in together, but bringing in new guys

822
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: like Stefan Gilmour to that group and Nick craws Us

823
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: and Rodney McCleod. You have new position coaches and Ron

824
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: Milas and Mike Mitchell. How much did your unit grow,

825
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: in particular with those five weeks of work that you had.

826
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: It grew a ton, you know, especially having the experience

827
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: that we got gaining Stefan, gaining Rodney as well, just

828
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: seeing that the way they work and you know, just

829
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: being able to try to take what they're doing and

830
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: putting it into my own game. And even you know,

831
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: us younger guys bringing in Nick Cross, you know, having

832
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: guys like him. He's a playmaker. So where's it excited for?

833
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: You know, even the coaches Mike Mitchell. He's a guy

834
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: that you know that was there and played and now

835
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: he's a coach, and so it's really nice to have

836
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: someone that can relate in a way that you know

837
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: was very very recent, and so it's it's really nice

838
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: having all these guys coming in and being a part

839
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: of this new defense. We hear about with this new defense,

840
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of emphasis on the safety position. How has

841
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: your role in particular evolved and how are you putting

842
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: it put in a position to really capitalize on your

843
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: ability because of the way this scheme plays out. Yeah,

844
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: it just it just lets you show out, you know,

845
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: what you're really good at, which for me, you know,

846
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: I'm really good with my range and I'm really good

847
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: at reading run pass. So for me, it's just you know,

848
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: making sure that I don't get bored of doing you know,

849
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: the little things, because I feel like the little things

850
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: are you know, very important for us, especially you know,

851
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: as as a back end. Just having me make sure

852
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: that I'm eraser, you know, that's what they call me,

853
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: as a racer tackler. So I just do everything I

854
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: can to do my job and we'll be okay. Who

855
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 1: is the toughest guy that you have to cover in camp? Though?

856
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: When you're going one on one with that first team offense,

857
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: um the toughest guy. Honestly, I thought it was tough

858
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: to guard Kylan. I really think Kylan Granton is really

859
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: really good tight end. You know. I feel like you

860
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 1: don't talk about him enough. I feel like that kid's

861
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: a special talent and I'm excited for you know, all

862
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: of our offensive weapons that we have, but he stands

863
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: out the most to me. Love that. We have joked

864
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: previously that the way you heal, you're like Wolverine. Like

865
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just crazy. When you come back from

866
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: the Achilles injury that you had, you tore the Achilles

867
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: late October, you were back with OTA's full strength zero restriction.

868
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: You are so unrelentingly positive all the time. Did you

869
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: have any struggle in terms of coming back, like mentally

870
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: in order to get you to where you are to

871
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: start this regular season because a lot of people thought

872
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: it would be almost a twelve month recovery. Yeah. Um, Luckily,

873
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the injury that I had previously the

874
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: Aco kind of taught me a lot. Yeah, at the

875
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: end of the the college just because you know, for me,

876
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: it was the mental part that I had to learn

877
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: a lot about. You know, physically, I was gifted obviously

878
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: to be at this level, but I feel like mentally

879
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: it's a it's a whole different challenge. And you know,

880
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: going down once for me it was just like, Okay,

881
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: I need to write down like how I'm feeling there

882
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: in these times. And then I just so happened to

883
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: go down again to the point where Okay, I already

884
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: know how to attack this. I just got to protect

885
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: my spirit is what even coach Gus says A lot

886
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: is protected spirit. That's something that I already had emulated

887
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: into my own everyday life. So just being able to

888
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: stay positive and you know, stay to my faith really

889
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,600
