He will not play on Sunday, but 40 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: there is a chance, and a good chance, it seems 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: that Shaquille Leonard makes his twenty twenty two season debut 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Matt, all right, 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: thank you jm V. It's now time for the Head 49 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Coaches Report with head coach Frank Reich as the Colts 50 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: get ready for Week four against the Tennessee Titans at 51 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium and coach, coming off of a very 52 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: impressive win last Sunday against the Chiefs, your team got 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: it done in the fourth quarter and crunch time when 54 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: the game was on the line, and so far this 55 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: year the Colts have been a very good fourth quarter team. Matt, 56 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: Ryan's been known for the gene getting it done, you 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: know in the final two minutes of games. Are you 58 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: a big believer that guys, that teams can develop that 59 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: clutch gene, that certain teams just have it. There's certainly 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: good indications that we do, and that does come from 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: the players and certainly comes from a guy like Matt 62 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Ryan who's done it for fifteen years. So you know, 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: we knew when we signed him that that's one of 64 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: the things we were getting, and I think that was 65 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: a big piece. It's not that we haven't had that, 66 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: but I just think Matt brings a new level of that. 67 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: You got to win close games in the fourth quarter, 68 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you got to be able to turn it on, and 69 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: he certainly is a big factor there. Multiple guys stepped 70 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: up on defense last week, especially in the secondary, big 71 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: contributions from Rodney, McLeod, Rodney Thomas, Isaiah Rodgers. What has 72 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: their mental preparations been like this season to step up 73 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: in that moment to play big, you know, at a 74 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: moment's notice. It's been great that whole defensive unit, right, 75 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Gus Bradley has done a great job with him. 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: They're very it's very close knit bunch. You know, they're 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: they're really challenging each other to be prepared. Everybody knows that, hey, 78 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: we got to get ready to play in this business. 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Whether you're you know you could be. You could be 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: on the bench one week and the starter next week. 81 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: So I give guys credit for preparing the way they happen. Also, 82 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: those young pass catchers stepped up. Jealani Woods the two touchdowns, 83 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce three catches sixty one yards, including that big 84 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: thirty yard catch to get you out of the shadow 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: of your own goalposts there. How would you describe Matt 86 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Ryant's confidence in those guys even though they haven't played 87 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: a lot of NFL football yet, It was a big step. 88 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know when you got two young draft 89 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: picks that make clutch plays in the game, Yeah, that's 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: a big step. I mean they've worked hard to practice 91 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: and I think Matt has continue to develop confidence in them. 92 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: But there's nothing like you know, there's big time completions 93 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: in the game, and no doubt about that. Tennessee comes 94 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: to town, coach, and it's a big division game. Everybody 95 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: knows that they've won the AFC South two years in 96 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: a row, they've won three in a row in the series. 97 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: What is the motivation for this team going into the 98 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: game knowing it's a big game in terms of the math, 99 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: but also just you know mentally what Tennessee sort of represents. Yeah, 100 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I mean they're the bully, you know, they're defending champs. 101 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: They play physical, they're a good football team, they're well coached. 102 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: You know, our goal is to win championships division conference 103 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: in world. You know, so division is the first part 104 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: of that. You know, this is only one game, but 105 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: everybody understands division games can kind of count two. And 106 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: you're playing at home, and you got to you gotta. 107 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Marv Levy, my old coach in Buffalo, used to say, 108 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: you got to win the games that you're supposed to win. 109 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: And when you're playing at home, when you're playing a 110 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: home division game, you're supposed to win those games. So, 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: you know, we got to play good football because they're good. 112 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: They're a good team. And you hear all the time 113 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: about Tennessee's physicality, the brand of football that they play, 114 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: and every game in the NFL is incredibly physical. But 115 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: but what is it about Tennessee that makes playing them 116 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: even more of a physical game, if you will, Just 117 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: they've been good upfront. They run the ball and stop 118 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: the run. When you think about teams that are the 119 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: most physical, it starts up front. They run the ball 120 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: and they stop the run. And so that's what this 121 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: team has done. Yeah, Derrick Henry is back. I mean 122 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: just piggybacking off there. I mean missed half of last 123 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: season with that, with that foot, the two time NFL 124 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: rushing champ two twenty the last year he was healthy, 125 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: over two thousand rushing yards. Do you still see the 126 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: same back? Do you still see the same guy that 127 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: can just completely take over a game. Yeah, he's explosive. 128 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's got speed and power. That's what makes 129 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: him so dangerous. He's got great vision. Um, So this 130 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: this is exciting. I mean, you know, if you're if 131 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: you're a fan and if you're like running the ball 132 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: at all, and you get to see JT and Derrick 133 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: Henry in the same game, now, come on, that's pretty good. Yes, 134 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: I think you're getting your money's worth there. Yeah. Triple 135 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: Crown winners right each of the last two years with 136 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Henry and twenty and the with Jonathan Taylor with the 137 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: Colts in two thou twenty one, and that that rushing 138 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: defense for the Colts has been so good. Does it 139 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: come down to just the brand or the identity of 140 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: the who Tennessee wants to be. They want to run 141 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: the ball, they want to take over the game that way. 142 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: Does that make first and down so important to kind 143 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: of take away their strength of who they are identity 144 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: wise on third down, no doubt. They've been very effective 145 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: on first and second down, right and you know with 146 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: their play action game, so you know, if you can 147 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: if you can shut down that run game, it does 148 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: it makes that play action game not quite as scary. 149 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: And they've been very when you look at their stats, 150 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: Matt in play action over the years, Ryan Tannehill has 151 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: been really good and so that that's one of the 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: big reasons why we got to shut that run game down. 153 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: And we talked about this earlier in the week. It's 154 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: a division game, and you know them, they know you. 155 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: You know yourself and Mike Vrabel. You guys have squared off, 156 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, every year, twice a year since twenty eighteen, 157 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: and you guys are both guys that play the numbers 158 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, you go for and on fourth down when 159 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: it makes sense, short yardage, red zone. I mean, is 160 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: that where this game truly kind of boils down to 161 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: when there's so much familiarity on both sidelines, no doubt. 162 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: And like you said, that's one of the things I 163 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: respect about the Titans and one of the things that 164 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: we take pride with our team is being good Situationally. 165 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Titans have been very good and situational, you know, managing 166 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: the game, third down, red zone, you know, the fourth 167 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: down situations, all those things, two point plays, you know 168 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So, um, you get you get 169 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: a division game like this and just so often, man, 170 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: it just comes down to one of those plays to 171 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: win the game. So we're going to really have to 172 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: be on point. When you look at their defense, they've 173 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: given up points, they've given up yards, but they've got 174 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: a lot of good players on that side of the ball. 175 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: Simmons and Denico Autry, Zach Cunningham who came over from Houston. 176 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: What are some things on tape that tells you it's 177 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: it's a better defense than you know, statistically speaking through 178 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: three games. Yeah, I can just remember, well, even in 179 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: our own situation, when I get asked questions about the statistics, 180 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: I say, guys, it's a seventeen game season. It's a 181 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: very small sample size. Let's add it all up when 182 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: we get to the end of the year and let's 183 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: look at the whole body of work. And when you 184 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: look at the Titans, you know they were one they 185 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: were a top five defense last year, Am I supposed 186 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: to believe that, you know that all of a sudden 187 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: there are bottom five defense. No, I know that's not true. 188 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: You know they've gotten off to a slow start like 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: we have, and that's why this game means so much 190 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: to both teams. All Right, we talked about situational football 191 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: first and second down, coach, what are your other keys 192 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: of this game in order to win it? As you said, Matt, 193 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: in the situational game, they've been really good in red 194 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: zone and we've been just kind of harping on this 195 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: thing a little bit here last week and this week 196 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: because like with the Chiefs last week and now with 197 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: this team this week, on defense is we need we 198 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: need a couple of red zone stops. You know, this 199 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: team has been dangerous in the red zone, so we 200 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: need we need those red zone stops. And then on offense, 201 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: we got to score touchdowns when we're in the red zone. Right, 202 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: It's all about scoring points, and we've got to have 203 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: those four point players that turn something that is a 204 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: possible field goal turn that into a touchdown. And then 205 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: of course, you know, the turnover battle is always going 206 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: to be key when you play a divisional game, especially 207 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: and then lastly, you have to mention what we said earlier. 208 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: It's about running and stopping on who's going to control 209 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage is going to be a physical game. 210 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: That's what everybody's talking about. Who's gonna win that battle 211 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: and whoever wins that battle will likely end up winning 212 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: to get big division game Colton Titans.

Fellas, thank you very much. Jam 263 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: Veet's time again for Inside Football here on Colt's Happy Hour. 264 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: As we get Rick Ventury's blueprints to beat the Titans, 265 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: and we start first with the muss on their offense. 266 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: Rick Todd Downing is the offensive coordinator now at Nashville, 267 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: who you know well. Everything flows through Derrick Henry, who 268 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: is back after missing most of last year with that 269 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: foot injury. He's a former two thousand yard rusher. He 270 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: ranked second in the NFL and rushing since twenty sixteen. 271 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: He led the NFL and rushing in nineteen and twenty, 272 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: and he's posted five career one hundred yard rushing games 273 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 1: against the Colts, and they're gonna pound you until you 274 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,119 Speaker 1: stop them. And they're also going to try and capitalize 275 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: on play action with Ryan Tannehill, who ranked seventh in 276 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: the NFL and passer rating since joining the Titans in 277 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and he is deceptively athletic. He can run 278 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the boot, he can get first downs with his legs. A. J. 279 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: Brown has gone in the passing game. They're trying to 280 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: supplement that with Robert Woods first round pick, Treylan Burkes 281 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: out of Arkansas and Nick Westbrook Akeina out of Indiana. 282 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 1: Up and down in most categories, but elite in the 283 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: red zone six of seven, scoring touchdowns in the red 284 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: zone this year. That's number one in the league so far, 285 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: and they've been the best team in the NFL in 286 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: red zone efficiency since twenty nineteen under Ryan Tannehill at quarterback. 287 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: So that's the big picture. On the offense, Rick, what 288 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: are your must for the Colts this week against the 289 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: Titans offense who the Colts know all too well here. Yeah, 290 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: and the one thing, I just want to have one 291 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: prelimb before I actually hit the must. He is we 292 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: gotta know and you know this, and I know this 293 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: because we faced him, but our young players have to 294 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: know this is rabel is a gambler. Know that, and 295 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: he will dial up special plays. So you're gonna get 296 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: that reverse, you're gonna get something, and you're gonna get 297 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: it early in the game. And he is a go 298 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: for it on fourth down guy, and go for it 299 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: on some two points that you don't specs. So you've 300 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: got to always had that two point two point defense 301 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: in your bag. And in short yards is going to 302 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: be critical because both coaches, both coaches go for it 303 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: on fourth downd. So winning red zone and winning fourth 304 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: down might be the game today. But let's get into 305 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: the musk far defense. First of all, we have to 306 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: control Henry and number one, it starts with the edge, 307 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: because you know they did. They'll run the toss. He 308 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: has that deceptive speed and he can hit the homer. 309 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: He loves to bounce it and go. He's got great vision. 310 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: You know. They line him up deeper than any tailback. 311 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: They look like the old Southern Cowie formations of the seventies. 312 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: He is so deep back there, and they like it 313 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: because they can give him the ball deep and let 314 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: him find the hole on all those zone plays. So 315 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: we have to attack the line of scrimmage. We have 316 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: to set the edge there. Let our linebackers attack him 317 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: on the run. You never want to let him get 318 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: his shoulders downhill towards the goal on You want to 319 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: keep him lateral string him. If those shoulders are pointed 320 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: to the sidelines all day, we will we will crowd 321 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: him and we will get him, punish him, make him 322 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: really work. Like we did last year. We actually knocked 323 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: him out of the game. And I do like some 324 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: double sink against him, same thing that people are using 325 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: against us. And I also like edge pressure on first 326 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: and second down, bringing that fifth guy because what that 327 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: does is it sets the edge and it hits all 328 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: the running lanes. Plus it gives you edge pressure on 329 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: the bootleg and on the play action passes. Those are 330 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: hard pickups. You know, we saw that last week, you 331 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: know against the Chiefs. When you bring that nickel off 332 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: the edge, or you bring a dime off the other 333 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: side or a safety, particularly on first down, you have 334 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: good run and play action defense. So you know, that's 335 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: what I'd like to see. He's gonna get some yards. 336 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: But what you don't want to let him have, As 337 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: you said earlier, don't let him get the big day. 338 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: If you keep him out of the big day, you're 339 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: gonna be in good shape. I think number two must 340 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: is we must take away the play action over routes. Okay, 341 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: most of his play action comes again on first down 342 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: or second and five and again a lot of flow 343 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: passing half roles. And what he wants to do is 344 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: he wants to bring people across the field. And what 345 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: he really likes is he really likes his tight end 346 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: hooper or now that Woods is healthy again, he likes 347 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: to bring Woods up in at second level. In other words, 348 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: kind of get your linebackers plan. Henry Boom hit and 349 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: get back in there. So I think you have to 350 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: play run defenses that are coverage friendly to play action, 351 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: and there is such a thing you got to make 352 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: sure again he doesn't get on the edge boot. I 353 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: was really impressed Quitty Pay actually played the first boot 354 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: of the game and actually discourage that. And that's what 355 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: you have to do sometimes against my home first time 356 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: they come out there, Quitty ran the line, got an 357 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: incomplete pass out of it, just perfect. And we've struggled 358 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: so hard on that and Tannehill is good, as you mentioned, 359 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: but there are some things that you can do. I 360 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: like one coverage I like is a six buzz where 361 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: the Week's safety plays in the hole. He plays like 362 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: a hook zone, but it's deeper than everybody else. So 363 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: when they play action, the Week's safety comes down to 364 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: his hook, but he's coming down later and higher, and 365 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: he's in position to take all that crossing stuff. Got 366 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: me on second down when it's a little bit more passed. 367 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: Then I like four coverage quarters because now you have 368 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: four guys across the board. You have the safety and 369 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: corner for the deep one, and you have the other 370 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: safety cutting down on the crossing pattern. And then of 371 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: course I like the five man stuff. As I said, 372 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: five men with you know set that adds right now, 373 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: right in Tannehill's face. That makes it very hard to 374 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: throw the play action pass versus flow. And then when 375 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: you are playing the what we call the cover his 376 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Hawk three, when you are playing as Hawk three, you 377 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: have to have what I call a Zoro call. Zero 378 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: call means this, if the X comes through the post, 379 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: the wide receiver on the week side comes through the post. Okay, Basically, 380 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: the safety has told that corner, he tells, he tells 381 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: which corner that he's going to take the shorter one. 382 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: So if X takes the post, the corner stays with him. 383 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: And now the over route, when they run the over route, 384 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: the safety comes down and takes the over and the 385 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: corner from that side replaces him in the post. And 386 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: this is something that we've learned over the years and 387 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: Cover three, because what happens is you're not going to 388 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: play it underneath, because underneath they're going to take you 389 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: with a run fake. So you've got to have a 390 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: way to take the X post Z over with your 391 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: four guys and with your safety. And he drops down 392 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: and takes the over and the other corner replaces him. 393 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: It takes him work. But if you're Cover three team, 394 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: you got to do that. But most importantly, you got 395 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: to shut down that play pass and you gotta shut 396 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: the down that pass, especially numbers to numbers when you 397 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: get in trouble on third down or anything else, make 398 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: sure that you got the coverage on Woods. They're gonna 399 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: take some shots. You know. They try to isolate Burkes 400 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: on the week's side like they used to with A. J. Brown, 401 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: and he'll take some shots, particularly on three by one 402 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: back there week. I think number three must and this 403 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: is the whole team. We just have to get the 404 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: advantage on first down. We gotta shut down and run 405 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: in those play pass overs. And then if it's second 406 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: and long, that's when you want to match really patterns. 407 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: That's where Cover four comes in and Gus used it 408 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: so well last week because he's just going to try 409 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: to get back. All he's gonna do on second and 410 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: long is try to release the ball quick, spread you out, 411 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: get it out there quick, and get back into a 412 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: third and four. So if you can choke them off again, 413 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I don't think they can protect us. I really don't. 414 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: I think that is their waterloo. Anytime you set disadvantage 415 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: and you come after them, you know, that's you know, 416 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 1: that's where they struggle. I don't think I don't think 417 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: Daily can handle in gokway. I don't think they can 418 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: handle us inside as well. And we just have to 419 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: win those matchups one on one, you know. And it's 420 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: starts by sticky coverage as well. Okay, and then number 421 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: four again, and I talked about this and continue to 422 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: talk about it's not establishing the run, it's not establishing 423 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: the past. It's really establishing the lead. And if we 424 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: do that, then we will create turnovers, you know. And 425 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: again it really I can I can give you all 426 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: the xs and os, but it really comes down, as 427 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: you always say, to execution and winning one on one. 428 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: I think you can. I think you can crowd them. 429 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: I think the receivers are good, but they're not speed guys. 430 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: Burke's not, Wood's not. I think again, you can crowd 431 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: them and choke them. And when you do that, then 432 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: you control the game. Then you dominate it and you 433 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: take it away from them. Remember they are minus three 434 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: in the turnover ratio, which is big, and that's because 435 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: they've had to play from behind. Again, when you get 436 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: up on this team, if you get up ten, then 437 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: you got them in your wheelhouse, no question about that. 438 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: That is the key for sure. That's Rick Venturiy. And 439 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: this is Inside Football breaking down the Colts and the 440 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: Titans and the blueprints. I'm Matt Taylor. Let's go over 441 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: to the Titans defense, and this is a unit that's 442 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: been there achilles heels so far. Now, I know they've 443 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: got some good players on that side of the ball, 444 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: but through three games, Rick, they've given up a boatload 445 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: of points. I know they've played the Buffalo Bills and 446 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: that kind of sets it as an outlier, but so 447 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: far allowing twenty eight per game, and they've been gashed 448 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: on the run, allowing one hundred and forty five yards 449 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: per game. That does include the two thirty eight against 450 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: the Giants and game number one. But despite those poor numbers, 451 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: they've been pretty good on third down on defense twenty 452 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: two percent, which is number two in the NFL so far, 453 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: and they held the Raiders just one for twelve on 454 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: the money down last week. Last year, the Titans were 455 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: the only team the NFL to feature three players with 456 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: at least eight sacks. Harold Landry, Denico Autry, and Jeffrey Simmons. 457 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: Landry was lost for the season and training camp, and 458 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: that defense is still trying to make up for that loss. 459 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: But they do have some guys that can still rush 460 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: the passer. The defensive big picture is probably again distorted 461 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: by that Bills game, which they lost by thirty four points. 462 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: David Long, Zach Cunningham, pretty solid linebackers. The back end 463 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: consists of rookie Roger McCreery, a mony hooker, and veteran 464 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: safety Kevin Byard who's played a hundred career games. He 465 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: leads the NFL and interceptions among safeties since twenty seventeen. 466 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: That's kind of my takeaway when you look at them, 467 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: I think they're better than the numbers would indicate so far. 468 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: Right now, Rick, what are your must for the Colts 469 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: to take advantage of the Titans on defense? Yeah, you 470 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: hit it, Matt, and basically you know the surprising thing, 471 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: and I think it certainly plays to our advantage. You know, 472 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: the two the two stats that stick out to you 473 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: negatively are points given up, you know, regard like you said, 474 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: regardless of Buffalo, it's twenty ninth and you know, and 475 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: then the per rush thirty second, they're thirty second in 476 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: the league and rushing yardage per rush, which is really 477 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: the important statistic because that's telling you what you're really 478 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: doing now when they're an advantage, like you said on 479 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: third and long, number three in the league because they 480 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: can rush the passer, and they're twelfth in the league 481 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: with sacks even without Landry. And again, just like their offense, 482 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: they tend to really tighten up in the red zone. 483 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: I think what happens is when their corners don't have 484 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: a lot of space to cover, they get tighter, they 485 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: get better. Sometimes when you have an average secondary, you 486 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: end up playing better in the red zone than you 487 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: do out on the field because there's no space. You know, 488 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I've actually sold it at times. 489 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: But in the end, I mean I think, you know, 490 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: first of all, I think we have to run it 491 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: at him. We've got to make sure that we can 492 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: hit him. I'd like to run opposite Simmons. I really 493 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: respect him. You know, they'll be in the over, there'll 494 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: be an under, they'll be in some double sink, and 495 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: the way people are playing double sinc we could get 496 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it. But We've got to have a 497 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: big day from Taylor and Hines. Personally, I think they 498 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: play better in heavy and compact formations. I think the 499 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: more you bring Tennessee together, the better they play. I 500 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: prefer open formations against them nickel formations. I like, you know, 501 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Hines as the slot, you know, I like all that stuff. 502 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: And then I want to pound with Taylor opposite Simmons. 503 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: What if it's under, you want to pound tight, it's over, 504 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: you want to pound week And you can check with 505 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: me on that stuff and just get after them. And 506 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: then I like bringing Hines back in there and running 507 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: those speed plays on the edge because they're they're defensive ends, 508 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: whether it's a Dupre, Autry or Weaver who you know, 509 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: they're all interchangeable, and sometimes Autry goes inside. But they're 510 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: all bigger power rushers. Really, they're not really space players. 511 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: And so I think you can get out there on screens, 512 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: you can get out there on speed plays. I think 513 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: your screens have to be an extension of your running game. 514 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: Toss Crack. Now, when you run those toss Crack you 515 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: gotta get Hooker and Buyered blocked, and you know you 516 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: got to get those two guys make those make those 517 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: corners show up and tackle, and then I like a 518 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: little bit of misdirection, a little bit of countertrait, because 519 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: I do think they're linebackers. I don't know. Cunningham had 520 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: left the game with an injury, Coal came in for him. Long. 521 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: I really like long as you know I've told you 522 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: that before. He is really active. He really hurt us 523 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: a year ago with blitzing and stuff like that. But 524 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: they'll go fast, So you want a little missdirection, But 525 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: we need We've got to have a big game running 526 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: this way. I don't think there's any excuse not to, 527 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: except that we have to have an answer for that 528 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: double scene because that's the only way they're going to 529 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: stop us is by adding the numbers and covering us 530 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: up and smothering us up front. Okay, I do think 531 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: that with play action will hurt them, because it's just 532 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: like anything else. You know, our signature is the running game, 533 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: even though it doesn't look great right now on paper, 534 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: but everybody knows in this league how good twenty eight 535 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: is in the potential of our offensive line run blocking. 536 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff against the grain. They play 537 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot of Cover four and Cover four. In some 538 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: ways it's four across, but it really exposes your corners 539 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: and you can run combination routes on the outside that 540 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: really confuse the safety in the corners that are are 541 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: in what we call quarters coverage. And so you know, 542 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: I like some half rolls, some play action, and then 543 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: work on that outside. Work on those corners, you know, 544 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, work on McCrary, work on Foulton, you know, Mitchell, 545 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: just struggle. If you if you see thirty eight in 546 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: the game, or you see Farley number three, it's just 547 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: like put a red light on their helmet and just 548 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: go after them. Just go after them until they can't 549 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: stop it. And then there's some good stuff. You know. 550 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: I always talk about four beaters, the double post, the scissors, 551 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, those type of things. I think you can 552 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: work inside on the options and then when you come 553 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: out double moves on those corners, those corners will respond 554 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: and get those double moves. The one thing I will 555 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: say is quarterback control those safeties with your eyes. Don't 556 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: And I think Matt's good at this. But Hooker and 557 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: Bayard are really excellent players. And we've seen a lot 558 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: of buyered over the years, and Hooker is really good 559 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: as well, So you know, when you're going to go somewhere, 560 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: don't look it in. Don't look it in because those 561 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: guys will get around you. All right. Number three must 562 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: pet and this is critical. We started the discussion with this. 563 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: We've got to protect Ryan. Our Bulleitz pickup has to 564 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: be fixed. The communication has to be great, whether it's 565 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: reducing the amount of protection, whether it's more walkthroughs, whether 566 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: it's getting Matt up to speed with Kelly. For some reason, 567 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: there's confusion there that has to stop. We have to 568 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 1: make sure that we can handle it when they get 569 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: ahead and account. You know, then Autrey comes inside with Simmons, 570 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, and then you have Weaver. You know, you 571 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: have Weaver on one side and you have a demi 572 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: at Y on one side. You know, uh if Duprie 573 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: is healthy this week, so they have a very very 574 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: formidable rust package. But I think in the end we 575 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: have to make sure that we can help Danny Pinner 576 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: on Simmons. Okay, Simmons. All those guys are good players. 577 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: They all have good numbers. If you go through their 578 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: sack numbers, they're all really good. From Autrey to dupri 579 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: and even Weaver the rookie has three already. But the 580 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: guy that can ruin your game, just like we talked 581 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: about Chris Jones last week, is Simmons. Simmons is ambient 582 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: and Danny got exposed a little bit, and that's going 583 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: to happen. But we have to make sure we can't 584 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: just allow him one on one all day. But more importantly, 585 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: more importantly is blitz pickup has to be there because 586 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: I think if you know, runs screens will help it. 587 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: But we got to keep the defense about balancing and 588 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: fourth you know. Again, and I said this on offense, 589 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: I'll say it on defense. You know, we have on 590 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: first down. We have to control first and second down. 591 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: What we don't want to have happen is come up 592 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: third and eight. When we come third and eight, all 593 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: those wards at some point are going to be tested. Now, 594 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: maybe we fix him, maybe we don't. I think, you know, 595 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: obviously we establish some receiver threats, which helps that part 596 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: of it, but we have to protect Matt Ryan, so 597 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: again at times even run the nickel to keep him 598 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: off balance, you know, stay ahead in the change. I 599 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: always say this the most, the most the most talked 600 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: about down in football is third down and talks about 601 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: your third down percentage, but really the most significant down 602 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: is first down because it's the Domino down. Everything comes 603 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: after that. You know. We gotta come after him early, 604 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: get them on their heels, and eliminate the rush. That's 605 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: what we got to do. And play aggressive, you know. 606 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: And as I said before, I'll just kind of repeat it. 607 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: One little bonus must here is both coaches, both Frank 608 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: and Rabel, they'll get to gamble on fourth and short. Okay, 609 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: so you have to be ready with a great short 610 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: yardage defense and red zone defensive play to me by 611 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: the Colts will determine the game. Short yardage defense, short 612 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: yardage offense, and red zone play to me will determine 613 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: this game. It's Rick but Terry Matt Taylor right there, 614 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: the blueprint of the game Week four as the Titans end. 615 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: That's the Colts of the Titans coming up on Sunday 616 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium.

I was really happy 646 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: about this because I was big on Yannick and Goquay 647 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: on this defense of the off season, and through the 648 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: first two weeks people are clowning me on that. But 649 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: in week three against Kansas City, they stepped up against 650 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and that Chief's offense and off the edge 651 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: we saw him Yunick and Goackway as he visits right 652 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: now with the Gorman and Matt Taylor fellas joined now 653 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: by Yunick and Goaqway.

You know, we just 662 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: look ourselves in the mirror and you know, the performance 663 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: that we put up versus Jackson's Jacksonville wasn't our standard, 664 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we just wanted to be able to, 665 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, uh, display a better performance. And on defense 666 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: specific being a defender myself, you know, uh I flight 667 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: Coach Gussie put up a great game plan for us, 668 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: and everybody filled the position you know, really really well, 669 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: and we were able to you know, provide pressure on 670 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback as well as get a takeaway. No excuses. 671 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: But does it take, especially not for you, but for 672 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: the people around you to get familiar with a new scheme, 673 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: the one that Coach Bradley runs. You've been in this 674 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: system before, but I'm talking about the guys arounding it. 675 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: It might take a couple of weeks, I know, you 676 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: know training camp and OTAs that started hid but you 677 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: got to get into these games and early part of 678 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: the season absolutely, you know, the players we bring the 679 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: call to life, you know, any defensive call that coach 680 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: because gives us. So you know, at that point, you know, 681 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: you just have to buy into the system, and it's 682 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: a system that works. You know, He's had you know, 683 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: great players, great defenses like Llob and you know that 684 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen Jacksonville team I was a part of, and 685 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, just just a similar scheme. You know, it's 686 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: just all about rushing and covering, and uh four week 687 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: was one yeah, unique Piggybacking off what Jeffrey was asking, 688 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: you've been this defense. You know what it looks like 689 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: when it's when it's thriving, right, when it's when it's 690 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: hitting on all cylinders there? How close based on the 691 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: performance against Kansas City, how close would you say the 692 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: Colts are to hitting where it needs to be? You know, 693 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: absolutely that was a great you know showing from us 694 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: as a defense last week. But I feel like we 695 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: haven't even touched the ceiling yet, you know what I mean. 696 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: And when I say touching the cylinders, it's coming out 697 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: with a win, you know, and then also h having 698 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: more takeaways, having more hits on the quarterback, having more 699 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: sacks on the quarterback, force fumbles, you know what I mean. 700 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: And once we get those numbers up, we'll help our 701 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: team win. All in all, it's a defense that's unique 702 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: and guy away with US Colts defensive end. Take me 703 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: back to last Sunday, your first game as a cult 704 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium. What did you think. Oh, it's 705 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: a great atmosphere. You know, the fan base brought, brought 706 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: the energy, brought the noise, and also it just felt great, 707 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: you know, being in Lucas oilm in this time, having 708 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: blue and white on versus having opposite color of jersey. 709 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: So it was a great experience in your first sack 710 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: in a Colts uniform. Take me through that play. How 711 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: satisfying was that that first sack with the Colts. Oh? Absolutely, 712 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, Russian cover goes together. Like I said, the 713 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: defensive backs had a you know, a tremendous coverage on 714 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: that play as well as a great pressure by the 715 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: forest which allowed me to just be able to turn 716 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: the corner properly to be able to get my homes down. 717 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: So I gotta ask Kenny. We've got a guy who's 718 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: top twenty according to some in the NFL, his name 719 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: Shack Leonard, but you've never taken the field with him officially. 720 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: What does that? I mean? I know you guys are 721 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: show up and play. I mean put your pads on 722 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: and go, but you do have that lurking in the 723 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: background where he is a difference maker, a guy's a 724 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: turnover machine. Absolutely, you know, I can't wait to see 725 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 1: him back on the field, and you know, hopefully, you know, 726 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: I don't know the status of that, but hopefully as 727 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: this weekend. You know, me being a guy that watches tape, 728 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: he was always somebody that stood out to me, you know, 729 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: flying from sideline and sideline, making a lot of play. 730 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: So you know, just a blessing to be able to 731 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: take to fill with them really soon. Does it help 732 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: you as a veteran to be able to coach for 733 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: lack of a better term, some of the guys around you, 734 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about young guys like like Quitty Pay, I'm 735 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: even Taikwan And then the same thing, even if you're 736 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: not thinking about doing it, your leadership brings a coaching 737 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: aspect to it. Is that fair to say? Well, you know, absolutely, 738 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: it's all about being a servant leader, and you know, 739 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: just giving the information and the knowledge that I've gained 740 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: over the years playing with great players and just dishing 741 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: that out to the younger guys. And it's just a 742 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: tradition they need to do the same thing when they 743 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: become veterans. Now. I don't know why, I don't need names, 744 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: but if you had to take a couple of these 745 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: young ins aside and say, here's how we do this 746 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: to you know, better ourselves. Each day I give them everything. 747 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: I'll give them all the game, not just the XS 748 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: and those, but also, like you said, how you take everybody, 749 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 1: how you spend your time wisely, and you know, hanging 750 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: out with the right groups of people to be able 751 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: to give a positive impact on your life. You need 752 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: going back a few weeks playing Jacksonville. I don't want 753 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: to talk about the game itself, but you know, being 754 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: drafted there and playing well for a few seasons there 755 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, what was it like for you going back 756 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: to your your original home, if you will, in the NFL? 757 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: It was right on that field, It was great, you 758 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: know what I mean, just being able to you know, 759 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: relish remember on the moments that you know, I made 760 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: a lot of plays in that stadium, and uh, you know, 761 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: also just realizing how far I've coming, how much more 762 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: you know the journey is in store for me, you 763 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Just being twenty seven years old, still, 764 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: but you know, being in the league for a little while, 765 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: it just allowed me to just be grateful and thankful 766 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: of everything I've been through. Unique and Gockway as our guests. 767 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's look forward Sunday. Tennessee, Right, they're always 768 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: one of the more physical teams in the NFL. Every 769 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: game in the National Football League is incredibly physical. All right, 770 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: we just need to get that out of the way. 771 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: But Tennessee prides itself on controlling the line of scrimmage 772 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, whether they're on offense 773 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: or defense. How much of this game is a is 774 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: a mindset for you going in that we're gonna have 775 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: to stop the run and we got to tackle Derek Henry. 776 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: How much do you have to like sort of psych 777 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,919 Speaker 1: yourself up leading into Sunday? You know, as a defense, 778 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: I feel like that's one of the highlights of our 779 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: season so far, as how well we're stopping to run, 780 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And we just have to 781 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: continue to have that same approach when we touch the 782 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: field on Sunday, and knowing that this is a running team. 783 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: They like to do a lot of crunch plays, a 784 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: lot of stretch plays. You know and for people that 785 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. It's basically, you know, 786 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: plays where they'll give Dereck Henry the ball and it's 787 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: a mono and hermano play and whoever you know is 788 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: able to push that person back or push that person 789 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: forward is going to win that down. So, you know, 790 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: we just have to bring our big boy pads. Line 791 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: is in trouble in Tennessee. I mean they've got some 792 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: injuries there. Ryan Tannehill in the back of guy that 793 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: you faced. What does he bring to this offense? Yeah, 794 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: I feel like Ryan Tannehill's He's a veteran, he's skilled, 795 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: he's been in the league for a long time. He 796 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: understands the offense well, you know, being a receiver converted 797 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: into a quarterback, so he knows a lot about reading coverages. 798 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: So we just have to do what we do every weekend. 799 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: That's being able to strain, play physical football and try 800 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 1: to get the ball out. Saw something interesting last week 801 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 1: against Casey, a verbal fifteen yard penalty on Chris Jones 802 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: that came into a big play for our offense. What 803 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: goes on out there? What what can you say? What 804 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: can you not say? The first time the first time 805 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: I've seen this penalty. It's like just a verbal flay, 806 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, flagrant file. So uh, you know, you get 807 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: emotional out there. It's a bar fight every every playout, 808 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: that's true, you know. I mean he must have said something, 809 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: uh explicit, it's something especially in that moment, right in 810 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: that situation. But you know, it's all part of football. 811 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, that's my guy. You know, we've been We've 812 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: known each other since coming out a college. Yeah, we 813 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: train with each other and stuff like that. So, uh, 814 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, emotions day, brewing, the game is all part 815 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: of the game, and it's all part of the fun. 816 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: When did goose?
