Speaker 3: How about this start? How we're rolling? So?

21
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: What unit are we in? We in like basketball now?

22
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: Or we are doing handball? We got one handball. Handball's

23
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.

24
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: We never did handball.

25
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Handball's a lot of fun.

26
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: It's a you know, I had a teacher in college

27
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: who actually played for Spain's Olympic team. Handle kids, so

28
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 4: I got I learned a lot about handball in college,

29
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: so it's fun to pass that down and all the

30
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: things I learned. And it's a really exciting game, a

31
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 4: lot of fun, really action packed, you know, kind of

32
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: basketball soccer ass wow.

33
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, but yeah, the kids are having a ton

34
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: of fun, so me too.

35
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: So what am I thinking of? So that's a that's

36
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: a team sport.

37
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: It's a team sport.

38
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what am I thinking?

39
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: What's the game where you like slapped the ball with

40
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: your hand against the wall.

41
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: You know I'm talking about like woo, okay, yeah, wall,

42
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: I guess I call that that was a recess game, right.

43
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's backyard game

44
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: with your buddies for sure. All right, speaking of playing

45
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: well with your buddies, that's what the Colts are doing here.

46
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: They just annihilated, uh the Las Vegas Raiders forty to six.

47
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: You watch that game, I'm assuming, uh, you know, with

48
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: with the with the family. I'm sure you were fist

49
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: bumping everybody in the family room. What was the most

50
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: impressive part of that dismantling of the Raiders? And that's

51
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: the third time this year we've had to talk about it.

52
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: A Colts team just completely laying the wood to another

53
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: opponent in the end.

54
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Matt, where do you start? It was

55
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: all it was all three phases, right. Defense showed up,

56
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: you know, they gave up that a little bit on

57
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: that first drive, held strong in the red zone, give

58
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: up three or whatever. Then special teams comes up, gets

59
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: the kick return right, Ashton dueling, big play, dueling with

60
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: the big you know, gets called back, but it doesn't

61
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: deter the offense.

62
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Right.

63
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: Then we go down and score a touchdown like that.

64
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.

65
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: I'm talking about when the Colts have had bad plays,

66
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 4: you know, or negative things have happened, you know, the

67
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: the bad teams, they kind of go into a rut

68
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: right and and feel sorry for the feel sorry for themselves.

69
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: The Colts haven't done that. They've always bounced back. They've

70
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 4: always responded. And that's what they did to start the

71
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: game on Sunday.

72
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: You know, the little things.

73
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: The Colts took care of business, just playing good, clean,

74
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: sharp football. What areas were they much more on top

75
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: of that in in this game compared to the week

76
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: before against the Rams, when you know their sloppy play,

77
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: their own miscues and mistakes led to the Rams win.

78
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 4: If you will, Yeah, at least said just cleanar football.

79
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: You know, didn't give up a sack. You know, we're

80
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: still well. Pilonies were still a little up, Yeah, even

81
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: though nine of them. Yeah, even the one down in

82
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: the red zone that we had, we responded right and

83
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: still converted on the third and long the downs. So

84
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: so not having too many pilonie's in the red zone

85
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: and going six for six in the red zone, I mean,

86
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: you don't do that, right, I mean, that's that's perfect

87
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: football down there. And so yeah, there's little things here

88
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: and there, and the little things add up in a

89
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: football game, though, and the Colts were taking care of

90
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: the little things and you end up winning forty to six.

91
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just crazy the way they're rolling right now.

92
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean the crazy part of that game. If you

93
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: go back and just look at how it actually played out.

94
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: Not only did they win forty to six, but they

95
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: won forty to six in the second and third quarter,

96
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: right because they lost the first quarter and technically lost.

97
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.

98
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: But that was a different dynamic because the game was

99
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: basically in hand at that point. But they outscored the

100
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Raiders twenty to three in the second quarter and twenty

101
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: to three in the third quarter. You mentioned how pristine

102
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: the Colts were on third down. They were eight for

103
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: ten eighty percent. That's the highest a third down conversion

104
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: rate in the history of the franchise. You know, they

105
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: were six for six in the red zone, which you mentioned.

106
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: I want to pick up there. Being perfect in the

107
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: red zone is one thing, but scoring six red zone

108
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns is another.

109
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: As a former player.

110
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: Can you put into words just how tough it is

111
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: to execute at that high of a level inside the

112
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: twenty yard line?

113
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Like how much does football change? How much does the.

114
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Game change inside the twenty compare to the rest of

115
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the field.

116
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just think of it logically, right, the

117
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: field shrinkings, right, the defense has less to guard right,

118
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: less grass to cover right. So you try to expand

119
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: the formations right, and you try to make the defense

120
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: cover horizontally right. And what the Colts did such a

121
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: great job. You know, they hit on a little out

122
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 4: route to Tyler.

123
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: That was sweet.

124
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: That's a great example of stretching the field horizontally, and

125
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: then they just ran the ball right. I think the

126
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: key to having a great red zone offense is being

127
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: able to run the ball down there, playing physical football.

128
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: And when you have a back like Jonathan Taylor, you

129
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: have an offensive line, tight ends, wide receivers, everybody's in

130
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: the in the run game and blocking. You know, that's

131
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: the easiest recipe to having success down there and eliminating

132
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: the penalties that we've had early in the year down there.

133
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: So so those things, you know, cumulative effect of all

134
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: those things led to the success down there.

135
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: But but how much does the defense typically change?

136
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, I mean it's one thing to you know,

137
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: see a defense and have the game plan at the

138
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, But how much more aggressive, how

139
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: much more how many more blitzes d you see from

140
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: the defense once you're inside the red zone, knowing that

141
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: it's a win for them, right if they hold you

142
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: to just three points?

143
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, there's always the it's almost a different package,

144
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 4: you know. It's kind of like there's situational football and

145
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 4: red zone and third down. It's almost a completely different

146
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: playbook for offense and defense. Right and and when you're

147
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: when we're speaking of the red zone, and like we said,

148
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: the defense doesn't have as much to cover, you know,

149
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: vertically you're going to see those blitzer. There's a lot

150
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 4: of teams that right when you get in the red zone,

151
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: they're a big cover zero, right and they bring the

152
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: cover zero or it makes it tough to run the ball.

153
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: So being prepared for what they're going to do and

154
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: being on point timing shows that the Colts are getting

155
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 4: those reps on Friday practices. That's when you do red zone.

156
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 4: They've been getting those reps since week one. And the

157
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: cumult effect of continue to work, working together with those

158
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: with all the different weapons we have and getting the

159
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: timing down is leading to success down there.

160
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: You know one thing, I mean, it sounds football cliche.

161
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, you hear this all the time, especially with

162
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: offensive guys, offensive play callers, offensive coordinators. They say, think players,

163
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: not plays, you know, And I think that's evident inside

164
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: the red zone where the Colts have so many options

165
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: to deliver the football. You mentioned Tyler Warren, He's just

166
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: a matchup nightmare. Jonathan Taylor running the ball. Michael Pittman

167
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Junior made a great catch on a rollout by Daniel Jones,

168
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: which I do want to talk more to you about,

169
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think that's what is making you know,

170
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: it was a troublesome area at the beginning of the

171
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: season for the Colts, But I really feel like they

172
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: turn the corner because they just have playmakers. I think

173
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: that's what's most impressive to me about this Colts offense

174
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: is that when there is a chance to make a play,

175
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: they have so many different options and guys aren't missing

176
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: those chances to make a play and change the outcome

177
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: of the game.

178
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, taking advantage of their opportunities, right, And like you said, Matt,

179
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: we kind of talked about it a minute ago, how

180
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: the package is for the defense. You know, the defensive

181
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: play calls changed. When you go on the red zone,

182
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 4: a lot of teams will go to we used to

183
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: call it seventy seven coverage where they would go double

184
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: team your best guy, your best red zone threat.

185
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, who is that for the Colts?

186
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: You know, I mean Pitt's got the most receiving touchdowns, right,

187
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: but then you still have Tyler Warren, you know, downs

188
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: was making great conversions down there on the third and long.

189
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: You can still run the ball with Jonathan Taylor, Daniel

190
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: can use his legs. You know, there's so many different options.

191
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: Who do you try to take away, and that's what

192
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: I know that you're just creating problems for a defensive coordinator,

193
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: keeping them up at night, right, keeping them focused on,

194
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: you know, red zone defense a little more so then

195
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: maybe you're more successful on third down defense. And you

196
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: know that those are the things you think about as

197
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: as as you know when you're going against a different

198
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: coach and how you can create.

199
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: More problems for them, and and that's what the Colts have,

200
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: you know.

201
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: But but the rollout by Daniel Jones, all right, some

202
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: late pressure I don't know if it was a blitz

203
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: or not, but some late pressure up the middle. He's

204
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: rolling out to his right, throws a little bit against

205
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: his body, you know, back across his body.

206
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Hits Pittman.

207
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's open, but by the time the ball

208
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: gets to him, he's got a you know, a defender

209
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: in his face coming this way, a defender and his

210
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: face coming that way, and still focuses on the football.

211
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: Makes a great contested catch. I mean, I thought that

212
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: was the best play of the of the year for

213
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the Colts on both ends of that pass. Great pass,

214
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: great catch by Michael Pittman Junior. I mean, those are

215
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: the plays that I don't think people really realize that

216
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones can make for this offense.

217
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the off time place, right, off schedule plays, right,

218
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: and we haven't seen a lot of them because everything's

219
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 4: been executed pretty well, right, and then then we haven't.

220
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: Daniel has an opportunity to you know, create and then

221
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: Dan or a pitch, goes into scramble mode and he's

222
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: in the back of the end zone. His job is

223
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: to kind of mirror the quarterback. He does a great

224
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 4: job of that and pitt Or Daniel throws a laser man. Yeah,

225
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: it was not an easy catch that Pittman made, you know,

226
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: diving out and like you said, kind of has the

227
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 4: distraction going on with two guys running in front of him.

228
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: And like you said, I agree, Matt. I think that's

229
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: the best play we've seen that, you know, the best

230
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: playmaking play we've seen from the Colts this year.

231
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: I mean, this is crazy.

232
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: The Colts have already won three games this year by

233
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: at least twenty points. Last time that happened in a

234
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: single season, you have to go back to twenty twenty one,

235
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: your last year in the NFL, right, so they had

236
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: they had no twenty point victories in twenty twenty two,

237
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, or twenty twenty four. All of their

238
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: wins last year were by one score. I mean, this

239
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: was like the Cardiac Colts a year ago. Now we're

240
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: just like on cruise control, you know, basically, you know,

241
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: topping pops in the fourth quarter, having fun and talking

242
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: about what it means in the big picture.

243
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: The last time the Colts this is fun.

244
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: The last time the Colts won a game by at

245
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: least thirty four points was your rookie season in Jacksonville.

246
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: You guys that year beat the Jaguars thirty seven to three.

247
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: I think the score was. Do you remember anything about

248
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: that game.

249
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: I do remember that game so that I think it

250
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: was like.

251
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: Week three, Yeah, I think it was at Jacksonville.

252
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: So that was the first That was the first time

253
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: I got in on offense. Yep, okay, So I remember

254
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: this very clearly because we were up by thirty four points,

255
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: so you.

256
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: Know, I got in.

257
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: So I get in and I'm you know, I'm all,

258
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: it's my first you know, I've played a little bit

259
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: of special teams through the first couple of games, and

260
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: I was getting to play some offense at tight end

261
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: and we're running a power play, so I'm double teaming

262
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: with the tackle going up to the linebacker, and I

263
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: remember being like, man.

264
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna smoke this guy and coming.

265
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: Down full you know, full gas, come flying down, hit

266
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: the linebacker. He olays me, makes the tackle, and I

267
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 4: remember going back to my apartment or hotel wherever I

268
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: was staying at the time and watching that play maybe

269
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: a thousand times, thinking, Oh, the cults are gonna cut me.

270
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: It's over. It's over. You know, you missed one play.

271
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I remember rolling down there in Jacksonville

272
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: that rookie year and getting some offensive place.

273
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: So that was a lot of fun. Well they gave

274
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: you some saving grace.

275
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I stuck with you, and I think they

276
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: made the right call right there, Jack Doyle. You know

277
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: one of the things that was so impressive about last

278
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: week's game. And by the way, we got a big show.

279
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: The rest of the way, we're going to talk about

280
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: again the big picture of this. We're going to talk

281
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: about the landscape of the AFC, and you know, just

282
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: talk about if the cults are legit, and I think

283
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: that they are. But also Michael Pittman Jr. Your guy yeah,

284
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, you play with him for a couple of years.

285
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: He's going to join the show and he's going to

286
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: sit here in my chair and talk with Jack and

287
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: just a few minutes. But you know, they were going

288
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: back to this game. The Colts were really able to

289
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: limit the damage. I don't know if that's the right

290
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: word or the phrase for it, but they really negated

291
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: what Max Crosby can do. Right, he had a tackle

292
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: for loss, he had a pass defense, but he didn't

293
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: wreck the game. The defense did a great job of

294
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: shutting down Ashton genty.

295
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: How did the Colt's ability to be successful.

296
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: In those two areas really give them, you know, chants

297
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: to you know, put this game on ice and set

298
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: it on cruise control. They played with the lead and

299
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: when you do that, Jint can't you know, be afforded

300
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: to run the ball twenty five times and if the

301
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: game's close, Max Crosby can't come off the edge and

302
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: pin his earbacks, his ears back, I should say, and

303
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: wreck the game with tackles for lost in sacks.

304
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and I think the Colts had a great plan.

305
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of Crosby, you know, playing against Max Crosby, he's

306
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: a heck of a player. There's very few d ns

307
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: that produce on both the run game and the pass game.

308
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: And he gets after the quarterback, but he doesn't take

309
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: plays off in the run game. He plays every play,

310
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: you know, pin his ears back full tilt right, and

311
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: he's a great player.

312
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: But the Colts had a great plan.

313
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: You know, you saw them, you know, call the protection

314
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 4: to his side and then a lot of times there

315
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: was a tight end helping right and getting extra hands

316
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: on Crosby to slow him down. And the Colts again

317
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: had a great plan going into it. And credit Braden Smith.

318
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: You know, Braden's played against Max a bunch, you know,

319
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: throughout his career. You know, they kind of came in

320
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: at around the same time, if I'm right. Yeah, so

321
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: they they know each other well. But let's credit Brayden too,

322
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: and the way he's played, not only Sunday but throughout

323
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: this whole season.

324
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: No doubt.

325
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Braiden's always done a nice job on Max Crost.

326
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you know, you look at all the accolades

327
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: and the numbers that Crosby's racked up. He doesn't do

328
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: that against the Colts. No, No, that's a huge tip

329
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: of the cat to Braiden Smith Bringen.

330
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: Braiden does it week in week out. I don't think

331
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: he gets hyped up enough the way he plays football. Man,

332
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: He's just a great player.

333
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: You know another guy that I don't think gets hyped

334
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: up enough. I'm glad that you use that phrase because

335
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: that's exactly the way that I would use to describe Ashton.

336
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: Do Oh yeah, Jack, I mean you know this guy

337
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: real well. You know you played he came in and

338
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: what nineteen, so you played a couple of years with

339
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Ashton undrafted free agent. Division two Malone University no football,

340
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: by the way, does.

341
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: Not have a football program anymore. I mean, it's Jack.

342
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite colts players along with you.

343
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite guys of all time because

344
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: he just does the dirty work. He's humble, he's easy

345
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: to talk to. He's got great character about him. You

346
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: know he didn't you know, no Alex Pierre the other

347
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: day missed a second straight game with concussion. Ad Mitchell obviously,

348
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, still trying to work his waist through some

349
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: things with the coaching staff after that very uneven performance

350
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: the week before against the Rams. So Ashton comes in,

351
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: He's the number two wide receiver opposite of Michael Pittman

352
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Junior has a couple of big catches wiped off. You know,

353
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: took the hit from Jeremy Chen local kid from Fishers.

354
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: Good good, good pop there on the outside, So he

355
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get that one. But he still has two big

356
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: catches for fifty five yards as a twenty yarder a

357
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: thirty five yarder. Who by the way, those were the

358
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: biggest receptions of the game for the Colts. He has

359
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: the ninety eight yard kickoff return wiped off due to

360
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: a kind of a sketchy penalty, right, so he still

361
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: doing it on special teams. Jack, Why doesn't Ashton Doolan

362
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: get to play more? Because every time he steps in

363
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: on offense, I've always wondered this, he delivers. I just

364
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I know they've got great players around him and ad

365
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Mitchell still oozing with potential. But I just I always

366
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: wonder why Ashton Doolan doesn't have more of a role

367
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: because he I think he's deserving of it.

368
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's done in his whole career.

369
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 4: Like you said, I mean when I was asked in seemate,

370
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: we always said big play dueling, right, I mean, it

371
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: was every time he came in, he was making a

372
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: big play on a jet sweep or we were throwing

373
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: him a post route or something like that, and he

374
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: just he's an all star in his role, you know,

375
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: And that's what coaches want. They want you they define

376
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: your role, right and if you can be humble enough

377
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: to be an all star in just your role, and

378
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: that's what Ashton does week in week out.

379
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: His role changes throughout the season.

380
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: You know, he'll be three weeks where he's wide receiver too,

381
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: and then there's four weeks where he's you know, just

382
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: a special team's ace. But every single time he's asked

383
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: to do something, he does it well and he takes

384
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: advantage of his opportunities. And like you said, he can't

385
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: come from a better guy. And he's he's so easy

386
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: to be a fan of, to cheer for because just

387
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: the way he carries himself, the way he works in practice.

388
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: I remember him coming in in twenty nineteen and just

389
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 4: being so raw and new to not new to football,

390
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: but in a way new to wide receiver.

391
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a big step up.

392
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: And he works so hard on his hands and was

393
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: always working after practice on his catches and and he's

394
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: just he's a physical freak all at the same time.

395
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know why his role doesn't grow.

396
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe it's because he's so good in the

397
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 4: role he's in, sure, right, so why change it? Right?

398
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: You know, I don't.

399
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, but he probably deserves more of an opportunity.

400
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: But he's not the guy that's ever going to be

401
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: the diva and be like, hey, you know, I need

402
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: I need more play or whatever. And he's so good

403
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: on special teams, so there's probably a little give and

404
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: take from the offensive coaches to the special teams coaches

405
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: be like, hey, you know, don't take them too much away.

406
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: You know, Rigo's probably fighting, Hey, don't take my number

407
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: one gunner and get him tired.

408
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: On offense, you know, gunner, he's a return made, he's

409
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: a receiver.

410
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: He's I mean, he's got to cover the most ground

411
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: in a football game. If you look at the yards

412
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: step look at the yards this guy's runs. But like

413
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: you said, can't we can't be talking about a better guy.

414
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: And he's just such a great person and a great

415
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: football player. And like you said, it has been the

416
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: same guy since the day he showed up on the

417
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: Colts and and and you know, like I said, there's

418
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: not a bigger than me of Ashton Dooling, big play

419
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: dueling baby.

420
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

421
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean we say all the time, well, Ashton Dolan

422
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: stepped up. Well, I mean he always steps up, right,

423
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: So I mean we got to come up with a

424
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: different way to put this.

425
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see how it all plays out.

426
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, as we sit here and talk right now,

427
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: we don't know about Alec Pierce and his availability for

428
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: the upcoming game against the Cardinals. Still don't know about

429
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: A d Mitchell's you know, playing time and how they're

430
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: hashing that out. I mean, what what does Dulan's performance

431
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: mean in the short term, let's say for the Colts

432
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: on offense, I mean, long story short, if they have

433
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: to play with Dulan as their number two, number three,

434
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: most teams will be dying.

435
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: From sign me up, you know, sign me up. You know,

436
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 4: coaches are always going to play who they trust. And

437
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: what this game did it reassured the trust that they

438
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 4: already knew they had in Ashton Dooling, if I'm being honest. Sure,

439
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: and they already knew what they had in Ashton, and

440
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: he came out and produced in his opportunity, and that's

441
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: all you as a player, all you want is opportunities

442
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 4: and you want to take advantage of them. Again, Ashton

443
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: has done that since day one. Yeah, I mean ever

444
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: since he's got an opportunity, he's always taking advantage of it.

445
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 4: And he's a coach's dream man because of the way

446
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: he carries himself, the way he shows up every single day.

447
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: He's the same person every single day and just works

448
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: his tail off and still and all that. But also

449
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 4: as a phenomenal football player, it makes place. So what

450
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: more can you ask for?

451
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not much, man, not much at all.

452
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Ashually doling tip of the Cap had a boy to

453
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: the number sixteen for the Indianapolis Colts. All right, Michael

454
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: Pittman Junior is coming up in just a few minutes.

455
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: But I want to transition here. I want to lay

456
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: out some time on this part of the podcast. I

457
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: want to call it, how do you explain this? All right,

458
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle, explain what we're seeing right here. That's the

459
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: theme of the next couple of topics. And this offense,

460
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: like we talked about, it's just on fire right now.

461
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Six for six in the red zone. Last week, the

462
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Colts didn't allow a sack, they didn't turn the football

463
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: over against the Raiders. The Colts have scored over forty

464
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: points twice this season. Their point differential is the best

465
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL plus seventy four right now. And so

466
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing this year. Last year, the Colts

467
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: only scored twenty two points per game. They were twenty

468
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: second in red zone offense. And these are season long stats,

469
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: by the way, this is where they finished. They were

470
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: nineteenth in turnovers. And if you look at what they

471
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: had last year personnel wise, they still had Jonathan Taylor.

472
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: They had guys like Quentin Nelson, Michael Pittman Junior was

473
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: here last year, Alec Pierce was here last year, Josh Downs,

474
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Mowiley Cox, Bernard Ryman, so on and so forth. Right,

475
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: how do you explain this level of offensive execution when

476
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: basically outside of a couple guys And I understand there's

477
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: a key guy here now in Daniel Jones, but outside

478
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: of that, and maybe you throw that in there too, Jack,

479
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: how do you explain what we're seeing now when most

480
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: of the core players on this offense were here a

481
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: year ago two?

482
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: Well, you know, like you said, Matt, there's an obvious

483
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 4: one there that you know, a quarterback that plays with

484
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 4: confident and that's what Daniel's doing right now.

485
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: It you know that confident.

486
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: Spears over the whole team, let alone the offense, right,

487
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 4: and I see every guy playing with confidence, and that

488
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: starts with the quarterback. You see Daniel Jones playing with confidence.

489
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: And a sign of a confident quarterback and a good

490
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: quarterback is he's making everyone else's job easy, right, He's

491
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: making it. He's making the guys have to think less

492
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: because he's doing the heavy lifting right and putting these

493
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: guys in great positions. But also, these guys have to

494
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: be practicing with the purpose, right.

495
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't say it enough.

496
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: And I'm not to say they didn't practice with the

497
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 4: purpose last year or anything like that, because you don't.

498
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: You practice with a purpose to give yourself the best opportunity.

499
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: And right now those opportunities are going the Colts way

500
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: and these guys are great leaders. They have another year

501
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: under their belt. The guys you're listening and they're understanding

502
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 4: what it takes to practice with the purpose. And give

503
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 4: Shane credit because he's maybe he's tweaking some things and

504
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: they're pushing these guys in different ways. And again it

505
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: comes back to how they're preparing in the week. You

506
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 4: don't just show up on Sundays and these things happen.

507
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: You don't go six for six in the red zone

508
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: without practicing the right way. Yeah, you don't go eight

509
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: for ten on third down without practicing the right way.

510
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: And shout out the scout teams too. The scout team

511
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: has to be giving great looks and pushing these guys

512
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: in the week. It's always going to be about practice.

513
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to sound like Alan Iverson here. You

514
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 4: know you're talking about practice.

515
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: But it is. It's about practice, man.

516
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk about practice.

517
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: Let everybody know you have to practice to get better.

518
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 4: And that's I'm not watching the coach practices, but I

519
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 4: guarantee you they're practicing with a lot of intensity in

520
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: practicing the right way.

521
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: You got any Jim Mora and you too, Yeah, playoff.

522
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: He's sunk out there. We're going to break them all

523
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: out here today. You know. One of the things too.

524
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: Going along with that, You look at you know, Daniel

525
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Jones and he's having just such a phenomenal season and

526
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: he's taking good care of the football.

527
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: His decision making is off the charts.

528
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: He's decisive, you know, quick decisions, pinpoint act Sunday level

529
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: accuracy as we like to say. But you know, he's

530
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: not right. He's not like Patrick Mahomes out there, like

531
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: the highlights aren't sexy. And I think that just speaks

532
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: to just how many playmakers this Colts offense has. And

533
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren and you know Alec Peterson, Josh Downs and

534
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Jr. The Colts have three receivers already over

535
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: twenty catches. Wow, they have you know, throwing Jonathan Taylor too,

536
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: He's got sixteen receptions already on the season, so he's spreading.

537
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: The ball around. He's like the point guard of this offense.

538
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: But I still think there's naysayers that watch the film

539
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: and they look at Daniel Jones his highlights and he's

540
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: just making good decisions. He's going, you know, the right

541
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: place with the football. If if a naysayer to you,

542
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, came up to you in the grocery store

543
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: or something and said, yeah, Daniel Jones is having a

544
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: good season, but he's still he's still Daniel Jones. How

545
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: would you how would you refute that, how would you

546
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, what would your rebuttal to that?

547
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: People they're the games and be they don't know football,

548
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: And what my rebuttal to that would be is.

549
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: The sign of a good quarterback.

550
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 4: We kind of just talked about with Ashton and what

551
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 4: Daniel's doing so well is he's an all star in

552
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 4: his role, right, He's not trying to do too much.

553
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: Guys get caught up trying to do too much sometimes,

554
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: and when you have all the weapons that he has

555
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: at his disposal, it's so important to stay within yourself

556
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: right and be an all star in your role. And

557
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: he's played nearly perfect football through five weeks, right, I

558
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 4: mean who wouldn't take this, you know, coming out of

559
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: training camp? And if he continues to stay in his role,

560
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: knowing the weapons he has around him, I mean, how

561
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 4: can you refute that? And again, you're not watching the

562
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 4: games if you don't see the way this guy's playing

563
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 4: right now.

564
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that.

565
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman JUNR Has just rolled up in studios, So

566
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: we got that coming up in just a second, So

567
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: hang on tight for that. But one more as it

568
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: relates to how you explain everything here, Jack The Colts

569
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: have finished four games this season with one or fewer

570
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: sad and no turnovers.

571
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: Right, so in all four of their wins.

572
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: They're not you know, they're not giving the football up

573
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: and they're protecting Daniel Jones incredibly. Well, how do you

574
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: explain what we're seeing from this offensive line right now?

575
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 4: They're playing together, right, I mean, that's what offensive line

576
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 4: needs to do.

577
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: Right.

578
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: If you're playing five is one, you're really tough to beat.

579
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: And they all look on the same page. And you

580
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 4: know it's not just offensive line. Let's give Jonathan Taylor

581
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: another shout out in the way he's picking up Blitz

582
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: No blitz is right now. I mean he's he's taking

583
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: a huge stride forward in that. And these guys again,

584
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 4: they just looked all connected. They all look on the

585
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: same page. They're giving in that extra effort. Daniel's able

586
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: to move around with his legs and create plays and

587
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: you don't give up megative place. That's the that's the

588
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: telltale sign of a winning football team, right and that's

589
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: what the coltol line is doing right now.

590
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, shout out to the offensive line up front. Now

591
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: he got a shout out to a guy on the

592
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: outside making big plays. He already has four touchdowns in

593
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: the NFL so far this season. The Great Michael Pittman Junior.

594
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: We're going team on teammate right now, Jack Doyle Michael

595
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: Pittman Junior, one on one right here, right now on

596
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: the Jack Doyle Podcast.

597
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: Here we are joined by my friend, former teammate, Michael

598
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: Pittman Junior.

599
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: What's up, Pitt? Thanks having good man having.

600
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: So we're gonna make this super simple, right laid back here, Pitt.

601
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna ask you some questions, get to know Pit

602
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 4: a little bit and why he's one of my favorite

603
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: players on the Colts, and uh, what he's all about here?

604
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: So Pitt, let's get it rolling.

605
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: So first off, okay, so my favorite thing about you, Pitt,

606
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 4: and there's not a bigger compliment I can say to

607
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: someone than calling them a football player. And I don't

608
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: really know how to describe that, but you are a

609
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 4: football player. You play this game physical, not only in

610
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 4: run after catch and how you run your routes, but

611
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: in the run game. Have you always been that way?

612
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: Because you know my perception of you right when he

613
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 4: came in as a rookie. Here comes this usc LA

614
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: diva receiver. That's what I'm thinking, right, and then I

615
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: then the first camp you you proved me wrong very

616
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 4: very quickly. So where does that physicality come from in

617
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: both the pass and the run game?

618
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it comes from watching my

619
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 5: dad play as I grew up, and just how he

620
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 5: ran and how he blocked, and how he preached being

621
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 5: unselfish and just really having love like for like my guys,

622
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 5: like and like like anytime that JT like has that ball,

623
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 5: like you never know, like he could bring it backside

624
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: like instantly, and then now I better make sure that

625
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 5: I'm getting this block because JT could take it eighty yards.

626
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: So really just out there like for like the guys,

627
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: and just give an effort because effort is the number

628
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 5: one thing, you know, like of any like good football team,

629
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 5: and I expect that from everyone else. So I got

630
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: to be the one out there giving it.

631
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's call it out what it is.

632
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: But your wide receiver one, right, and when wide receiver

633
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 4: one is blocking the way you block, that whole wide

634
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 4: receiver room better be blocking the exact same way. So

635
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: That's what I've always loved about pit in the way

636
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: you play football but you're such a nice guy.

637
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: Off the field, you're funny. I mean, I don't know

638
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: if people know this. You're a b A.

639
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: You're a bit of a prankster, right, you got a

640
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: little bit out of here. But on the field you're

641
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: I mean you're a killer, right. I mean you play

642
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: this game, like you said, the biggest callum I give.

643
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: You're a football player. How do you flip that switch?

644
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: How do you go from dad, fun loving guy prankster

645
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: to the Michael Pittman we see on Sundays.

646
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like a time period pregame where once I

647
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: put my like I or once I put my EyeBlack

648
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 5: on that I try to transform into a different guy.

649
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 5: And I actually used to struggle with turning that off.

650
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 5: But actually, like my now wife, we've been together for

651
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 5: thirteen going on fourteen years, back in college and high school,

652
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 5: like I couldn't really turn that off, and I wouldn't

653
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: perform up to my expectation, and like I would, I

654
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: would be I would be out of character, Like i'd

655
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 5: be upset and mad. I didn't want to talk to

656
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 5: anybody and just like avoiding people. And she kind of

657
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: helped me through that and and like we would talk

658
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 5: after games like, hey, like, I know that you're upset.

659
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: It didn't go this way, but you shouldn't be treating

660
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 5: people like this, like just.

661
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: Because you're upset.

662
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: And and years and years of like her helping me

663
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 5: out Like now, I mean, because I have three kids now,

664
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: so I can't come home and be upset.

665
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not.

666
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 5: Their fault if I didn't perform well, so yeah, I mean,

667
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 5: it definitely took some time. But but now like I

668
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: can just turn that switch off, and and I credit

669
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 5: that to my wife and kids.

670
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to the wives and my girlfriends. They

671
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 4: deal with the wrath at home of us not playing well. Yeah,

672
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: but that's well, that's well put pit, because I said,

673
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 4: how do you turn that switch on?

674
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 3: Right?

675
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: And you and you talked about not only turning that

676
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 4: switch on, you gotta turn that switch off right. And

677
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: now you go back to being a dad, being the

678
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: pit we I know, as a friend, right and fun

679
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: loving guy and and and that's something really cool. So

680
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: it's eye black on, switch on, go in the shower,

681
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 4: I black off, switch off right?

682
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: All right? Cool? Okay, so four and one start.

683
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much fun are you having playing football because

684
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: we get, you know, being a former player, we get

685
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: to play a kid's game, and when you're winning, it's

686
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 4: that much more fun.

687
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: So how much fun are you having right now?

688
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

689
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 5: I mean it has been incredible, and just the way

690
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: that nobody believed in us, and and just us going

691
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 5: and proving people wrong and doing what we all thought

692
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 5: that we could do. Because in training camp, like we

693
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 5: knew that we were a good team, and and everybody

694
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: kept on telling us, hey, you can't do this, you

695
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: can't do that. And now we're proving people wrong. And

696
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: and I just feel like the vibe inside the locker room,

697
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: the camaraderie, which we actually have shortened down to Rod,

698
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: so like if you hear me say Rod, it's referenced,

699
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: you know, like it's referencing camaraderie. So so we got

700
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: great rod going on and and we're just loving it

701
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 5: right now.

702
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't beat It's all about the locker room, right,

703
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: you know, it's Chris Ballard's thing. We've been sitting in

704
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: the same meetings, right, It's all about the locker room.

705
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: It's all about the locker room. So the rod's high,

706
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: The rod is high in the locker room.

707
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: Rod is high. The rod is high. Oh all right,

708
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: that's perfect.

709
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: So let's talk about one of your teammates, right, Daniel Jones.

710
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: You got here in twenty twenty, Me and you for

711
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: a couple of years, we went through the care quarterback carousel.

712
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 4: You continued on, you know, took the torch and kept

713
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: it going with with what it's been. Talk about the

714
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: challenges of you know, in the past. You know, I

715
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: don't want to go to the past, and we want

716
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: to stay in the present, but the challenges of working

717
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: with a different quarterback, right, and and talk about how

718
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: quickly I mean, what do you have three touchdowns through

719
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: five games right now? How quickly you've connected with Daniel

720
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: and why, you know, talk about the challenges of connecting

721
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: with the new guy and why it's going so well.

722
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean I started out with saying

723
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: that that I've been fortunate here that we brought in

724
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 5: a bunch of very talented guys, Like we're not just

725
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 5: not bringing guys like off of the street, you know,

726
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 5: from Phillip all the way to Danny now and everybody

727
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: like in between. But the extra work that goes in

728
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 5: is just getting to know one another and like how

729
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 5: they throw the ball and where they miss, and like

730
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 5: their arm angle, because like you can tell like how

731
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: your quarterback throws, like just like when like you look

732
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 5: up and their elbows up high or low or their arms,

733
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: you know, and like like you can kind of tell, hey,

734
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put it here or there, and and like

735
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 5: just getting to learn that whether they like you sitting

736
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 5: in zones or they want you to run through or

737
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 5: or you know, like just like just those small little

738
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: like subtleties, and like you got to put in extra work.

739
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 5: So OTA's is always more of a grind because like

740
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 5: you gotta get that time in. But from day one,

741
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 5: I mean we knew Danny had a really good shot,

742
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: and and he came in here with his head down

743
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 5: and he's been working hard and and nothing has changed.

744
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean, he still works like it's day one, and

745
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 5: he has a day one mentality, and I feel like

746
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 5: that's why he shows up every single week and and

747
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 5: he's gonna continue to keep being the guy that we see.

748
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: Now.

749
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's you talked about arm angle. So

750
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: it made me think of Philip Rivers, right, and a

751
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: guy we played with in your rookie season. So I'm

752
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: gonna do, you know, a quick little tangent. Let's let's

753
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: compare Philip and Daniel. I just want to know what

754
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: kind of you know, how Daniel's kind of tick. You

755
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: never had the opportunity to play with Daniel. But Philip,

756
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 4: if you remember, it was more like, hey, get up

757
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 4: there and you know, turn in, you know it was

758
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: it was more laid back. Is Daniel more like that

759
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: or is it more you know, a guy like Andrew

760
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: Luck who I played with, it was more detailed. It's

761
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: like it's gotta be on that fourth outside step then

762
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 4: you're coming out of the break.

763
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: How would you how would you describe Daniel?

764
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny's definitely more like phil like in that aspect

765
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 5: where he kind of leaves it up to us to

766
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 5: kind of be creative and and I think that helps

767
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: us because we don't have to like just like if

768
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 5: there's open space, like go ahead there and sit catch

769
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 5: a pass, versus Hey, I got to make sure that

770
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: I get to this landmark or take my my fifth step,

771
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: like even though the defense is sitting right there. So

772
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 5: I feel like that's what helps us get completions. And

773
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 5: I feel like Shane's offense I mean like he like

774
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 5: really lets us play and plays to all of our

775
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 5: strengths and and.

776
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: It's really helping us mesh just like it's like offense.

777
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: Is that what you did on the first your first

778
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: catch against the Raiders? The nickel came the shallow No,

779
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: the one. Maybe it wasn't your first catch, but the

780
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: nickel came and you kind of just turned around.

781
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, so yeah, so that is one of those

782
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 5: where you know, I felt the space and hey, there's

783
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 5: no need to run like into that safety that's coming

784
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 5: down at me. Right, just catch a pass and try

785
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 5: to turn up and make somebody missed.

786
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you did, finished it the way Pitt finishes runs. Baby.

787
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 4: That's what I love. Is that the one where you

788
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 4: got tackled and then you kept trying to run.

789
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: No, so that was another one. Yeah, so that was

790
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: the shallow pit.

791
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: Your butt was down, your knee was down, your forearm

792
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: was down, so I don't feel nothing on it and

793
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 4: you're still running out. That's what makes me love you man.

794
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: All Right, Well we'll keep talking about that Raiders game.

795
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 4: You had a pass thrown to you, thrown to you, Yeah,

796
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: by a tight end. Yep, my guy, Tyler Warren.

797
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you wish that.

798
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 4: He would have lobbed that up and gave you They

799
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: did a great job, Covenant. Tyler made the right play.

800
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: I'm kind of joking with this question, right, Tyler made

801
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: the right play and thrown it away. But did you

802
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 4: give him any crap? Hey, man, give me a chance there,

803
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 4: let me let me most this guy or anything like that.

804
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I actually didn't because it was a smart

805
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 5: play there.

806
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 3: I saw you give the thumbs up threw it away.

807
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they completely like didn't go for it.

808
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 5: The corner on the snap just faced me up and

809
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 5: the safety state high and unfortunately we burned that play.

810
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 5: So it's probably gone, yeah until next year possibly, But yeah,

811
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean it was a smart play.

812
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: But could he have thrown it up? Absolutely? And another touchdown? Always?

813
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, then we'd be talking about four Michael Pittman touchdown

814
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 4: through five games. All right, pitt I want to get

821
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 4: got that Michael Pittman junior jersey. So I asked Henry

00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 4: He said, he wants to know what is your favorite

827
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 4: route to run as a wide receiver and why.

828
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 5: Honestly, my favorite route is any route that I'm getting

829
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 5: the ball on.

830
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,400

Speaker 1: with Colts players throughout the season here on the Jack

863
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Doyle Podcast. We're closing out here. I'm back, by the way,

864
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Taylor here. We're closing out this version of

865
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: the of the show here with big deal or big whoop.

866
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.

867
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: Oh, we're talking about, ok, is it a big deal

868
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: what we're talking about or big whoop? Like sarcastic, and

869
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: these things will kind of just flush out on their own.

870
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about the forty to six

871
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: dismantling of the Raiders, but also big win this year

872
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: against Miami, big win this year twenty plus points against

873
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee Jack. Those are three enormous victories where the Colts

874
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: took care of business. But those three teams are combined

875
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: three and twelve on the season. So again we kind

876
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: of talked about before Pitt joined the show. You know

877
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: some of the naysayers out there, you know, the people

878
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: that are still kind of you know, wanting to see

879
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: the Colts come out and prove it. Is that a

880
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: big deal or a big whoop that the Colts have

881
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: three victories over bad teams against or I should say,

882
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: over twenty points in terms of margin a victory.

883
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 4: You know, I think that's a big deal, Matt, I

884
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: really do, because that's what you're supposed to do. If

885
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: you're a good team, you should whoop on other teams, right,

886
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 4: I mean, there we go a little play on words,

887
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 4: but it is a big deal because bad teams, you know,

888
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 4: they might get the win, but made it's only by

889
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: one score in the NFL right now, I don't know

890
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 4: what the percentage. You probably would know, like how many

891
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 4: games are one score?

892
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: Right? Like what were last year? How many games were

893
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 3: one score games? Right? And the Colts are blowing people.

894
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: Out in the NFL. You don't do that. We've three blowouts.

895
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you just don't do that. It's just so

896
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 4: incredible the way these Colts are playing, and and they

897
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 4: just got to keep it rolling. Like I said, they

898
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 4: put themselves ahead of the you know, gave themselves a

899
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 4: great head start, and it comes back to taking it

900
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 4: one week at a time. You know, it's a week

901
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 4: by week league, and the Colts just got to stay

902
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 4: focused and keep rolling.

903
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look at look at the Arizona Cardinals, right,

904
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: they played Tennessee last week.

905
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: They're up eighteen points. Did not finish the deal?

906
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: No, right, what the Colts are doing, you know, start

907
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 1: to finish. Taking care of business is way easier said

908
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: than done, especially in this league where everybody's making big money.

909
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 2: Everybody is really good.

910
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 4: On the other side of the on the other side line, yeah,

911
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 4: where they say everybody's on scholarship, but everyone's on scholarship.

912
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: They're all good.

913
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:09,479

00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 4: from probably something your wife does. And this isn't a

931
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: big deal she does, all right. So Casey is a

932
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 4: notorious Say we got some she bakes some cookies or something.

933
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 4: There's some chalking hip cookies and she got little container

934
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 4: and she'll take a cookie out and leave and take

935
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 4: two bites and leave this much left of the cookie.

936
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: You are you are preaching and she's like, oh, I've

937
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: had enough.

938
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 2: No, throw it away.

939
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: Throw it away or eat it, eat the whole cookie,

940
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 4: don't leave that, don't leave the little crumb in there

941
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: and act like you're gonna come back and eat that later,

942
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 4: because it's just gonna sit there.

943
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: And yeah.

944
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 4: So that's you know, that's the first pet peeve that

945
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 4: comes to mind, because she probably did it like last night,

946
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 4: and that's why I'm thinking of yeah, yeah, but but yeah,

947
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 4: I love you, Casey, but.

948
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 2: Stop you right there.

949
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, please, I have been an offender and I don't

950
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: mean to do this, but I.

951
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: Think we're all guilty of it.

952
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Like you pour yourself a little bowl of cereal and

953
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: you'll leave this much of the milk left.

954
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: And put it back. Yeah.

955
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it happens to you, you're like hair on fire.

956
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 2: But when you do an accident, you're like, hey, you know,

957
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: we've all been there.

958
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, leaving an empty box in the pantry of you

959
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 4: know whatever. Yeah, no, but then it is and it's

960
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 4: little things like that. That's marriage in a nutshell, right,

961
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 4: that's family life. Yeah in a nutshell right. We don't

962
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 4: mean to do it, but but it happens. So switching

963
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 4: to football, pet peeven football as a So this was

964
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: a pet peeve in mine. It kind of came up

965
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 4: later in my career and it still bothers me. It's

966
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 4: the I'm trying to put this the right way without

967
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: calling out refs.

968
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 3: Refs again. Okay, So.

969
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: I believe holding has changed offensive holding. I think defensive

970
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 4: players have been taught to throw their hands up or

971
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: flop when they know they're not going to make a play.

972
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 4: And I feel like I got called on it a

973
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 4: couple of times late in my career, and I'm seeing

974
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: it now where a guy's not even going to be

975
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 4: involved in a play and a guy's got his hands

976
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 4: inside he's blocking them. Well, the guy's not trying to

977
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 4: fight off the block, right and just throwing his hands

978
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: up right. Oh, he's told me, you know, the flop, right,

979
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: And it's making a lot more holding calls. I don't

980
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 4: know how you officiate it better, but it's a pet

981
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: it's a pet peeve of mine, right. I remember getting called

982
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: on one my last game against Jacksonville blocking Josh Allen

983
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: on the backside. And I can tell as the blocker

984
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 4: when a guy's actually trying to fight off the block,

985
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 4: or if he knows he's out of the play type deal.

986
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 4: And Josh just kind of you know, threw his hands

987
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 4: up or whatever. Wasn't really trying to fight off the

988
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: block because he's a great player, right, and I can

989
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 4: feel the difference and when he's trying to do the

990
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: hands go up flag.

991
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 3: So that's my biggest pet feef.

992
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 4: I don't know how they wraf it better, and I'm

993
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 4: speaking from personal experience.

994
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: It still gets me fired up.

995
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 4: He keeps me up at night, right. I mean, Matt,

996
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 4: you're a defensive guy, so maybe you can.

997
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 3: But I feel like it's changed.

998
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: I feel like it started getting coached around twenty twenty.

999
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just you know twenty nineteen.

1000
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the it's the NBA flop to a degree,

1001
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 4: right that the foul baiting that they they say right

1002
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: with the with the NBA players. But but yeah, so

1003
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: those are my pet peeves. Get me all fired up.

1004
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 4: As we as we were in the show here, I.

1005
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: Thought you were going to say like shotgun fourth and

1006
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: one running the ball gun.

1007
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would everybody a legal formation and drive me nuts.

1008
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: That should never happen. Know where you're supposed to line up,

1009
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 4: you know, and know when you're on the ball, no

1010
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 4: simple and you know football rules, that's another one that

1011
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 4: drives me crazy. I'm probably guilty of it, so I

1012
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 4: probably you're going.

1013
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 3: To go back and look at it, right.

1014
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: That is what grinds Jack Doyle's gears, both in life

1015
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: and on the football field. That's always a fun little

1016
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: way to uh, you know, end the podcast, you know,

1017
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: getting to know Jack Doyle on you don't know Jack
