He's a physical player. I think he's 22 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: shown that where he plays in particular, he's he's part 23 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: of a lot of run, fits an aggressive tackler, continues 24 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: to improve, young player that's definitely has a lot of 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 2: upside and continue to develop. 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: That's what is his next like as you look forward 27 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: to what's his upside? 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 4: I just think you No, I think he's I think 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: he's a good football player. 30 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of those those guys that 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: we drafted this past year have have really done a 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: nice job of performing when they've had opportunities to. 33 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 4: So he'll be a good young player to continue to develop. 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, great turnovers, knock the ball out, intercept the pass. 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: Those are all things that you know you need to 36 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: do to be an elite defensive back. 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 5: You haven't tell me that the five weeks, two weeks here. 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 5: You know, he's a younger guy, undrafted rookie this year. 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 5: Why not keep him an opportunity in this the last 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 5: couple of weeks just to kind of see what you 41 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 5: have there, maybe a better look at that. 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say it's kind of been you know, one 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: week next week based on i'd say injury, so as 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: that first week. So we'll try to get two weeks 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: of same cadence, same play caller in the huddle, and 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: they'll go. 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: Through recognizing that there were business decisions involved as well 48 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: with what's happened that quarterback. Since then, does any part 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: of you look back and say you wish you had 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: stuff with Daniel? 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just focus on where we're at right now. 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: So they'll do everything we can do to get you know, 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: all three of those guys ready. 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: Because obviously you never know.

It's certainly 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: no fun for for anybody involved in And we're doing 68 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: everything we can to try to do that, you know, 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: for us, but also you know people that come out 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: and support us. 71 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 5: I mean you probably aren't paying a ton of attention, 72 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 5: but it is you know the fan base is paying 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 5: attention to Do you notice the other day when the 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 5: Raiders win and you guys are in position now to 75 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 5: get the number one pick, is there a reaction around 76 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 5: here if people react to that at all. 77 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say laser focused on on what we need 78 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: to do, you know, of getting ready to play this week. 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor against the challenge there. I mean, he had 80 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: a pretty embarrassing moment two weeks ago and seemed to 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: come back with quite some vengeance. 82 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I saw that play. He's an explosive player, big, 83 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: he's strong, he's fast. I mean he had I mean 84 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: they rushed for over three hundred yards last game against Tennessee, 85 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: but he had two of them that went for one 86 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: hundred and forty strong. Fat, He's a very good player, 87 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: one of the better backs in the league. And you 88 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: know we've seen Kamara and Henry so Jon last week, 89 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: so HiT's keep coming. 90 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: And then Anthony Richardson. I know that wasn't a draft 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: that you guys were in the quarterback market before, but 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: you and I think every coach I've ever talked to 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: you always says you do work on all the quarterbacks. So 94 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: what was your pre draft thoughts on him and where 95 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: he is now. 96 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say. 97 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: Explosive player, explosive athlete. As a can for an arm 98 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: and throw it a far away, I'd say he's you know, 99 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: they're doing a nice job. Obviously, he runs the ball, 100 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: but he's plenty of talent enough to throw it where 101 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: he needs to throw it. 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: And I think, you know, anytime. 103 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: You have a young quarterback, you continue to develop him. 104 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: It's not it's going to be perfect for most of 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: the quarterbacks they get drafted right out the gate. I 106 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: think he's done. He's done a nice job. He's got 107 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: all the skill set in the world. He's again he's 108 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: a dual threat player and he can affect any part 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: of the field, you know, whether it's with his legs 110 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: or you know, throwing it however far he needs to 111 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: throw it. And he's got some pretty good skilled players 112 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: that he uses downs as. 113 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: Has done a heck of a job. 114 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: I thought was really going to be a good player 115 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: coming out of there, and you know he's he's continuing 116 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 2: to develop. And as he continues to develop, his skill 117 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: set shows. The Colts don't have great defense at numbers, 118 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: but what do they do that is a concern. Oh, 119 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: coach Bradley's He's done it for a long time. So 120 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 2: you know, Gus has been in this league for a 121 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: long time. They got two really good interior players, They 122 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: have good team defensive scheme. 123 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: You know, they play their. 124 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: Certain style that they'd like to play with and you 125 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: know they're Look, every team in the league is a 126 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: good football team. You got a lot of good players, 127 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: they got good coaches, and you know, they did a 128 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: heck of a job. I'd say, you know, I know 129 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: it ended up being thirty eight to thirty against Tennessee, 130 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: but really started out the game really strong. It was 131 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: thirty eight to seven with three minutes left in the 132 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: third quarter going into the fourth. So I think Shane's 133 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: done a nice job. 134 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: So as Gus going back to Taylor Johnson, Taylor, Yeah, 135 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: you have did a good job to down Kamara and Henry. 136 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: Can you take some and curtain from that or is 137 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: that or does how john played Bobinson does that kind 138 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: of make you turn about the front a little bit 139 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: for you guys? 140 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: Well, I would say every week is a new week, 141 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: so there's certainly different challenges for each week. Again, this 142 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: is I'm not saying it's the same, but you have 143 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: you know, Henry and Lamar kind of that duo you 144 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: got richardson and so again every week is a new challenge. 145 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: I think we've you know, we've done you know, a 146 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: much better job these last few weeks really with our run, defense, 147 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: yards per carry, tackling and those things have been a 148 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: point of emphasis. You know, they've been a point offices 149 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: all year, but these last few weeks have really these 150 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: young guys have done a nice job.
